Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 74

"It's because we complicate a simple question." I corrected, "This man is well versed in human psychology and has made good use of our habits. He is truly brilliant."

Lao Jiu shook his head, looking helpless, and then suddenly said: "By the way, we are in the underground palace under the sea now?"

I also find it unbelievable. The map on the diary is an ancient map. After comparing the ancient and modern maps, the fuzzy area was locked. Before I came here, I felt that I was looking for a needle in a haystack. As for the preparations for returning, who knew that the sudden rain would help us a lot, and the thick fog would not dissipate for a long time, like a lighthouse, guiding us to come, all of this, "Fate, fate" Lao Jiu haha Smile: "Lin Tianyi, it's as if someone is guiding us here."

"That's right, if this is really where it is on the ancient map, it's the burial place designed by one of the six counselors." I said, "The broken jade may be here."

"There are also people from the Yuan Dynasty." Lao Jiu said, "If they also come here, it will be very lively inside."

But that claw came to my mind. The people on the Yuan Dynasty royal water transport ship locked themselves in the cabin to avoid something. Could it be that thing?
When I was thinking wildly, Lao Jiu had already walked in first, and I didn’t forget to bring my oxygen tank. I immediately carried my things on my back and followed. The air in this place is still sufficient. Lao Jiu stared at the dust on the ground. , will leave a footprint. In a short period of time, no one has come in here. Perhaps, those people from the Yuan Dynasty have been here?
"Huho", I vaguely heard this sound, and turned around vigilantly: "Who?"

There was no one behind him, the light of the headlamp swept in the darkness, the light was so weak that it seemed that it would fall to the ground at any time, there was dust floating in the place where the beam was, like a tiny ghost, Lao Jiu asked: "What's wrong?"

"Heard some noises," I said, "whoosh."

"Don't be nervous." Lao Jiu said: "You turn around and look behind you now. We just came from there. If there is something that we have encountered earlier, it is the front... which is weird."

In front of us is a long and narrow tomb passage, which is barely enough for the two of us to walk side by side. Because of the oxygen tank, walking side by side is very crowded. Lao Jiu and I have always been in the order of one in front and one behind. There is no one behind me, and I always start to feel numb involuntarily. When I was walking forward, I suddenly thought of the last time when I was driving a pile. Munro said that my hearing is different from that of ordinary people. I can hear some ordinary people. The sound that can't be heard, so if Lao Jiu can't hear it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, right?

So, that "whoo hoo"...

I turned around suddenly, there was no one behind me, and then I raised my head suddenly, and a shadow flashed past my head, "Hey, Lao Jiu, something is really wrong, something is passing over our heads, look up!"

As soon as Lao Jiu raised his head, the thing was hanging on top of his head, just eye-to-eye. The thing looked like a baby, but it was not as pink and round as ordinary babies, but rather skinny and bluish-purple all over, with a pair of eyes protruding outwards. , like a concave-convex mirror, now Lao Jiu is meeting these eyes!
"Ge Laozi's!" Lao Jiu hurriedly backed up and bumped into my arms. The thing stretched out its hand, and I was shocked. That hand was the claw I saw, the claw that was clawed on the shore from the water, This paw doesn't match its body very well, and Munro is not around, Lao Jiu has already pulled out his gun, aimed at the thing and fired a shot, the thing screamed, and quickly avoided the bullet, the bullet shot directly into the wall Inside, that thing disappeared...

Lao Jiu retracted the gun, and there was still light smoke from the muzzle. He said suspiciously: "Lin Tianyi, did you see it just now? What is that?"

"I just know it was interested in us last night," I said.

Lao Jiu came over suddenly: "It seems that there is no hostility, and the aggressiveness is not strong, or else they would have attacked us long ago."

I walked to the wall and looked at it carefully. The moment the bullet shot out, it flew towards this side and then disappeared. There must be a gap in this place for it to leave. Of course, there is another possibility that it is not Kind!Not a living thing!

There was no gap, the faces of Lao Jiu and I sank, and Lao Jiu said, "I'm starting to miss Monroe."

"Me too." I have never thought about it like I am now, and I said: "What the hell is this thing? It's so fucking evil, Lao Jiu, let's move on."

This tomb passage is not long, but it is more than 20 meters. We have already walked halfway. After the episode just now, Lao Jiu and I were even more worried. There is a rancid smell. The underground air is warm and humid. The source of this rancid smell is clear. Lao Jiu looked back at me. I understood that look as admiration. People have come here, and now they are getting closer to my conclusion, just need to be confirmed.

At the end of the tomb passage, there are seven or eight people sitting on the ground on the left and right, and two people are clinging to the wall at the end, their bodies are stuck there tightly, their knees are slightly bent, and they still maintain a standing posture. Tsk tut: "Twenty people, these twenty people died here."

"Isn't it because this is a dead end?" I immediately thought of this.

The corpses of these [-] people were rotten, and the clothes were soaked in body fluid, which made their clothes stiff and gave off a disgusting smell, but they had not rotted to the end, and their faces were still visible, and their hair was still intact. I covered my mouth and nose with one hand and approached carefully. After looking at it carefully, he took a few steps back and said to Lao Jiu: "These people are undoubtedly from the Yuan Dynasty. Lao Jiu, after the ship sank, they came here by accident. Their hair is from the Yuan Dynasty." characteristics, the robe on his body is also the grandson's clothing of the Yuan Dynasty."

The Yuan Dynasty did not have a complete crown and clothing system.After the Mongols took control of the Central Plains, they still maintained their living customs, but at the same time, under the influence of the Han nationality, their clothing became more and more gorgeous, and finally formed a unified system of Zhisun clothing, which is a short robe, tighter and narrower. There are many pleats at the waist. This kind of clothes is very convenient for getting on and off the horse, which is in line with the living habits of the people of the Yuan Dynasty.

Another point is that the hair of these twenty people is all the same. The hair on the forehead is tied into a small lock, like a peach, and the rest are braided into two braids, and then twisted into two big loops hanging behind the ears. , Some of them still wear hats on their heads, these are the evidence that they are from the Yuan Dynasty.

Lao Jiu stepped over these corpses carefully, came to the wall, wrapped his clothes around his hands, and pulled the two corpses apart. He heard a "wow", like the feeling of glue peeling off the wall. There were still strands of jelly in the middle, and the old nine said "huh": "Oh my god, why is this corpse fluid so sticky?"

Lao Jiu stared at his hands, fearing that the corpse fluid would get on them, then shook his head: "Lin Tianyi, that's not right, you know that the decay of corpses has its own rules, right?"

"Well, death will be caused by more than five seconds of partial death. Within 10 minutes after that, the brainstem stops completely. One to five hours after death, rigor rigor occurs. After five hours, the blood stops flowing and begins to coagulate, and the skin begins to change. It turns black, this time is also the most prone to fraudulent corpses, eight hours later, the corpse is completely cold, and after 48 hours, the body becomes soft again, and a large number of bacteria in the body will start to decompose the corpse." I said skillfully: "Afterwards, plaques appeared, the internal organs began to rot, and the nails and teeth of the corpse began to fall off. After about four weeks, the body began to liquefy. It was soft and covered with a layer of water under the skin, which would flow out when touched. After a few months, the fat will turn into a green substance, commonly known as corpse wax, and after a year, basically only the skeleton remains, completely removed.”

Therefore, these Yuan Dynasty people should have only skeletons left. I looked at Lao Jiu suddenly: "There must be a demon in everything."

Lao Jiu said: "The air is stuffy, so the corpses rot faster."

Lao Jiu looked around, the tomb passage ended here, he pushed the wall hard, and then checked carefully for any gaps as before, but this time he was disappointed: "There is no secret door."

He still didn't give up, and looked up on the ground again, still disappointed: "There is no hidden button."

This is a solid wall, and I said: "These people tried to smash the wall, look, there are some marks on it, old nine, do you have anything with you?"

"Gunpowder? Yes." Lao Jiu took a deep breath: "This is the only way now, these corpses..."

Finally, Lao Jiu's heart was broken: "Come on, people's death is like a lamp going out, and the corpses left here are also suffering. Let's blow them up together, and we will be cremated for them."

Lao Jiu handed the oxygen cylinder to me, and motioned me to go far away. Oxygen would be troublesome if it caught fire. I hid far away and watched Lao Jiu start to work from a distance. Waterproof bag, I started to work. The preparation of gunpowder often requires precise calculations. Lao Jiu does not have any measuring tools, and he is doing it entirely by feeling. This makes me breathe a sigh of relief. Can this be done?If this place collapses, it will be over. The power of gunpowder is rather small than great.

I was about to go back to remind Lao Jiu, but he had already finished his work and walked towards me with something in his hand. I wondered, "Shouldn't you light the fuse?"

"What era is that?" Lao Jiu said with disdain: "Now it's all controlled by remote control, it's up to me."

He held a controller in his hand, and he pressed it from a distance, and the gunpowder exploded with a bang. My worry just now was completely unnecessary. The exploded stones flew out and landed three or four meters away from us. , only a few stone chips splashed on our feet, and those corpses were thrown to one side, crumbling to the ground, so embarrassed, the old nine said proudly: "How is it, my skill in making gunpowder is not bad, right?"

"Not very much." I shook my head, "Look for yourself."

Lao Jiu looked forward and his face sank: "Ge Laozi's."
