Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 751 Fatty: Don’t explode casually!
Refocusing your attention, you will find the arrangement of the five tombs in front of you quite interesting.

The four smaller tombs occupy the four directions of east, west, south and north respectively, and the fifth larger tomb is at the center of the central cross.

"A grave? This... is a big tomb? If this is the Thunder City, then the Thunder City is buried under the grave?"

"Tian Zhen, your third uncle is really good. Last time he let you inherit a weather station, this time, he and your second uncle will let you inherit five graves?"

The fat man murmured.

Wu Xie frowned and ignored Fatty's words.

The five tombs in front of me are a bit weird. They are too complete!
Yes, it's too complete!
Over the years, Wu Xie has seen many tombs of various dynasties, but this is the first time he has seen one so well preserved.

The burial mound is simply too perfect. Judging from various traces and information, it has existed for at least thousands of years.

In addition, there is plenty of rainfall here, and there is a rainy season for one quarter every year. No matter what, under such circumstances, the grave mound should have been washed away long ago.

But combined with the strange feeling he had just had when he arrived here, Wu Xie was somewhat confused.

In such a mysterious place, if everything is normal, that would be unusual!
"Don't think too much. There is a reason why this place has remained intact for thousands of years... a very scientific reason."

Hu Ming knew without even looking that Wu Xie had definitely fallen into his old habit of overthinking everything. He smiled, took a step forward and came to the large grave mound in the center.

Clang!!!
The engineer's shovel hit the grave hard.

The outer layer of the "mud shell" was smashed to pieces, and a few shovels were used to dig out several layers of the "mud shell", revealing the bronze underneath.

If you look closely, you will find that even the outermost layer of mud shell is not actually the burial mound, but something similar to modern concrete, which is extremely hard and cannot be washed away by rain at all.

"what is this?"

This was the first time the fat man had seen a grave mound of this shape. He squatted down and asked.

In particular, their past experiences with bronze have made them particularly sensitive to the material.

"This is just ordinary bronze, without any mysterious power. This is the top of the tower, and there should be a forest of towers underground."

"There are words here. Come and take a look. I think the marks left in a place like this should not be fake. So this place is really extraordinary."

Hu Ming looked up at the direction of the cliff above his head, stroked the marks on the top of the bronze tower, exchanged a glance with the blind boy and the others, and called out to Fatty and Wu Xie.

The Eastern Mahayana Golden Banner Ancestral Pagoda.

Seven ancient characters are arranged from top to bottom on the top of the tower. Looking between the lines, it seems that they are somewhat related to Buddhist teachings.

Wu Xie had some knowledge of Taoism, but not Buddhism. Just as he was about to ask a question, he heard Fatty exclaim, "Is this the ancestral pagoda of the Eastern Mahayana religion?"

"you know?"

Wu Xie asked in surprise.

He admitted that the fat man was not stupid and was a very quick-witted person, but he did not expect that the fat man knew something about this ancient Pope whom he had never heard of.

"What? I can't know?"

"Uncle Ming, you are so stupid. Tell me, is this the Dong Dacheng I know?"

Having said that, the fat man was not confident in his knowledge. He looked at the blind man Hu Ming, and when he saw that the young man had the same indifferent expression as always and didn't want to talk, he wisely ignored the young man.

"It's almost certain. Who would be so bored as to create such a fake religion?" "This is a religion from the Ming Dynasty. It was called Eastern Mahayana at the time. In this area, it is called the Golden Clan Religion or the Golden Boy Awakening..."

"In the beginning, this x cult was centered around alchemy, and alchemy towers were set up all over the country. During the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, it began to amass wealth on a large scale and participate in politics."

"Although most of them were wiped out later, this sect still exists in many remote places today."

Hu Ming nodded and explained to the confused Wu Xie.

"During its heyday, the Golden Child Cult had activities all over the country. Since there is a ancestral tower carved here, it must be a very large venue for their activities in the south."

The blind man added.

"Ah, this. What does this have to do with listening to thunder? How can Thunder City and the ancestral tower of the Golden Boy Cult be connected together?"

Wu Xie still hadn't figured out the connection, so he asked in confusion.

Several people were silent for a while, and it was obvious that they didn't quite understand this point.

"You are quite studious."

The blind man laughed.

"The Jintong Sect is good at alchemy and magic. Most of the teachings of this kind ultimately seek to achieve immortality."

"To become an immortal, don't you have to go through tribulations and get struck by lightning? Look, the tops of these bronze towers might be used to attract lightning."

The fat man pinched his chin and made a guess.

"Your family is building a lightning rod under this cliff?"

"However, this is definitely Thunder City. There are many mysteries underground."

Hu Ming couldn't bear it anymore and rolled his eyes while tapping the top of the bronze tower.

"The founding of the Jintong Sect can be traced back to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, when smelting technology was already very advanced."

"But look at these bronzes. The smelting methods are a bit crude. It's obviously an earlier technology."

Holding the precious sword in both hands, Hu Ming cut off a piece from the top of the tower with a sharp sound of metal tearing. He looked at it carefully and threw it to a few people.

"Why think so much? Just go down and take a look, and you'll know."

"No matter when it was built, people in our field, seeing such a strange thing, can we hold back when we are at the door?"

"Anyway, although we don't know what era this thing is from, it must be closely related to Leicheng."

The blind man glanced at Wu Xie and rubbed his hands.

"Then there is only one problem now. How do we get in? If the buildings inside are all made of bronze, then the structure is relatively fragile. We must not just blast our way in."

The fat man nodded and solemnly warned
"hehe..…"

"You're the only one here who likes to toss detonators around for fun. Just keep your hands to yourself."

Several people gave the fat man subtle looks!
