Tomb Raiders

After resting for a while, everyone continued to walk to the depths of the cave. According to Chu Yuyang's speculation, all three caves should lead to the main tomb in the end, but I don't know if there are other mechanisms in them.

The air in the cave was humid and had a strong earthy smell. Shen Liaobai could no longer feel the tingling pain of sitting on pins and needles, and he didn't know where the remaining poisonous corpses had gone.

Walking to the back, the traces of artificial carving on the cave wall became more and more clear. Although it has been corroded by water vapor, it can be seen that there are many carved murals on it. The content is similar to that seen in the cave. But it's slightly different, and there's a lot more.

Hanzhang touched the stone wall and said, "The craftsmanship is not bad, how long does it take to carve so many things?"

Wen Hao looked at each picture carefully, frowned and said, "No matter how much time it takes, why does the content in this painting get weirder the more you look at it?"

Shen Liaobai stood in front of the last painting, gazing at the characters in the painting. There were no soldiers, civilians, or people in Taoist robes that appeared before. There was only a mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, and a river winding down the mountain. However, on the side of the river, on the bank next to the mountain, a group of people are going to the mountain. The people are carved extremely small, and after years of wear and tear, it is already hard to tell who they are, but when Shen Liaobai looks at this picture, he always feels There was a familiar creepy feeling, but after watching it for a while, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Chu Yuyang stood beside him, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Liaobai was silent for a moment, then said softly: "If... Yingqing and the others can't be found in this tomb, what will you do?"

Chu Yuyang said without hesitation: "Follow the clues and continue to search."

Shen Liaobai nodded, stopped looking at that painting, and turned to look at other murals. This series of murals also depicted various deeds of Zhang Jiao leading the army to fight, but one was inserted in the middle, depicting Zhang Jiao from a He took something like a branch in his hands, and behind him was a huge altar.

Those hands were at the edge of the picture, so they couldn't see who that person was, but the branch surprised everyone, and asked Hao hesitantly, "Da Lang, do you think this has something to do with the branch Shen Yingqing left for us?"

Chu Yuyang only glanced at it, and then said coldly: "No matter what the relationship is, everything will be clear when we arrive at the main tomb."

The following paintings describe the scene where Huang Fusong cut off Zhang Jiao's head after Zhang Jiao's body was dug up, and the next painting shows the hands again, this time holding Zhang Jiao's head, In the middle of the picture, there are many people kneeling and weeping next to Zhang Jiao's headless body.

The next two pictures describe the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army putting Zhang Jiao into a new tomb, and the head sent to the capital recorded in the original historical materials was also buried together. From some details, this new tomb It is the one where Shen Liaobai and the others came down this time, and after that is the last picture.

Wen Hao touched the picture and asked in confusion, "It's not connected to the front at all, and it doesn't look like the mountain where Zhang Jiao's tomb is. Where is this?"

Hanzhang glanced at it, and said: "Don't worry about it, let's go, we have been delayed in this ghost place for a long time, if this continues, we will almost run out of dry food and water."

The few people stopped staying and continued to walk forward. As they walked, Hanzhang asked strangely: "Xiucai, why are you so quiet? I didn't see you pointing fingers at those murals just now. Don't you scholars like these things the most?" son?"

Shen Liaobai touched his nose and walked faster silently.

Unusually, Song Qiancheng did not refute Hanzhang's words. He had a peculiar look on his face, as if he was distracted, and he looked much quieter and colder than usual.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Hanzhang could only shut his mouth in resentment, and the group walked forward in silence, and soon came to an end.

"Dalang, didn't you say that these holes all lead to the tomb?" Hanzhang stared blankly at the dark pool in front of him, "This... how do we get there next?"

At the end of the cave is a pool, the water in the pool seems to have a certain depth, the bottom cannot be seen from the top, the pool is surrounded by natural stone walls, no mechanism can be seen.

A few people groped around the pool, and finally confirmed that there was no mechanism. Shen Liaobai stood in front of the pool, staring at the dead still water. Chu Yuyang walked over and whispered: "It seems that only from here The pool is on."

Shen Liaobai nodded, frowned and said: "But I can't see what's under the water, so I can't rush into the water to investigate."

As soon as the words were finished, Chu Yuyang threw the fire in his hand into the pool without hesitation.

Shen Liaobai watched the fiery green light sinking slowly, and reached the bottom after a while, the faint green light illuminated the underwater scene.The pool is not very deep, and the bottom of the pool can be seen as smooth as a mirror by the light. It is obviously artificially carved, and there is a water inlet faintly visible on the edge of the light. Chu Yuyang brought a bonfire from Wen Hao and threw it in , the scene at the bottom of the pool became more and more clear, there was only one opening at the bottom of the whole pool, it didn't look that big, just big enough for one person to pass through.

Chu Yuyang said: "It seems that the entrance is here."

Song Qiancheng muttered dissatisfiedly: "I'm about to go into the water again, and my clothes are still dry."

Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, and kicked him from behind, only to hear Song Qiancheng scream, fell into the water, fluttered twice before surfacing, glared at Hanzhang and said, "What are you doing kicking?" I!"

Hanzhang smiled and said to Chu Qianyang: "Dalang, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the water, let's go down."

Chu Yuyang nodded, also ignoring Song Qiancheng's resentful eyes, and said to Shen Liaobai: "Later, you can save some effort by pulling the corner of my clothes."

Shen Liaobai was startled, and agreed to come down. Several people got ready and went into the water one after another. Chu Yuyang was at the front, followed by Shen Liaobai and the others.

Swimming to the bottom of the pool, Chu Yuyang picked up the bonfire, dived to the water inlet to have a look, gestured backwards, indicating that the people behind could enter, so he swam in first, Shen Liaobai dragged Chu Yuyang The corner of the clothes then entered the water inlet.

The waterway is very narrow, and it's too crowded for one person to swim, but the water quality is so clear that you can barely open your eyes, but Shen Liaobai always feels a little strange in the water, but right now he can't speak, so he has to hold his breath as hard as he can, and follow Chu Yuyang swam forward.

After swimming for a while, the waterway suddenly widened, allowing people to turn and move in it. Chu Yuyang glanced back, and Shen Liaobai couldn't hold it anymore. He was not very good at swimming, and he could hold back By now it was luck.

Chu Yuyang's movements paused slightly, and Shen Liaobai looked up suspiciously, but saw Chu Yuyang put his hand on the stone wall next to him, turned around, then pulled Shen Liaobai past him, and moved closer.

Shen Liaobai stared blankly at Chu Yuyang's pale face in the water slowly approaching. He didn't recover until his lips touched something cold and soft. He wanted to say something, but he opened his lips and Being held directly by Chu Yuyang, he stared blankly at the handsome face in front of him, Chu Yuyang's amber eyes looked a little illusory in the water, the two of them looked at each other for a moment, and soon Chu Yuyang let him go , patted his cheek lightly, then turned around and continued to swim forward.

Shen Liaobai touched his lips, he naturally understood that it was just to pass his breath, but his face was still burning, and even the cold water couldn't cool him down.

On the one hand, he continued to swim with Chu Yuyang in a daze, on the other hand, he was at a loss, as if he was thinking about something, but at the same time he seemed to be thinking about nothing.

Suddenly someone grabbed his hand, and Shen Liaobai was pulled out of the water. He wiped his face subconsciously, and when he looked up, he saw Chu Yuyang looking down at him, with his hand still holding his wrist, Shen Liaobai At this time, he felt that the place touched by Chu Yuyang seemed to be on fire. He struggled, and Chu Yuyang let go of the situation, saying: "Are you okay?"

Shen Liaobai shook his head and said softly, "It's okay."

The two were speechless for a while, and Shen Liaobai unconsciously began to rub his cuffs, "Why haven't Hanzhang and the others come up yet?"

Just after finishing speaking, Hanzhang's voice sounded, "You are really troublesome!"

Shen Liaobai turned his head to look, only to see Wenhao in front, Hanzhang in the back, and Song Qiancheng was being dragged limply to the shore by Hanzhang's back collar.

He hurried over and said, "What's the matter?"

Hanzhang said: "Hey, this useless guy couldn't hold his breath after more than half of the swim, and he passed out after thumping twice. Fortunately, Wenhao and I pulled him up as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid he might be You're going to drown in that channel."

When Hanzhang was talking, Wen Hao pressed out the accumulated water in Song Qiancheng's chest and abdomen. Song Qiancheng coughed twice, woke up slowly, and asked feebly, "Where is this?"

"Since you went down to the tomb, you have said this sentence the most." Seeing him waking up, Hanzhang mocked lazily, then looked up and looked around, "Is this the main tomb?"

At the exit of the waterway is a pool, which is a little shallower than the pool at the entrance. The two ends of the pool are narrowed, one end is where they swim up, and the other end shrinks into a deeper water channel, which winds around a huge stone platform , disappearing from view after turning the corner.

The stone platform next to the canal is very tall, so everyone can't see the appearance on the stone platform, and the rest of the tomb is empty, very empty.

Chu Yuyang was not in a hurry to investigate, he looked at the wet and embarrassed appearance of several people, and squinted at Song Qiancheng who seemed to be half dead, and said coldly: "Rest here for a while, don't move around. "

Shen Liaobai pursed his lips and sat down. He was much better now than when he got out of the water, trying not to think about the scene when he was breathing in the water just now, pretending to be careless and starting to wring the water from his clothes.

The clothes were soaked in water and became damp and cold, with a fishy smell of water. Shen Liaobai suddenly frowned, sniffed the smell on the clothes carefully, then stood up again, leaned over to the pool and smelled it .

"Sure enough, there is a bloody smell in the water." Shen Liaobai murmured, staring at the calm water.
