Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 179 Bisu
Did he find something?
My heart moved, and I couldn't help standing on tiptoe and looking into the bronze vessel, but there was nothing inside.

What is Robot One looking at?
This seemed to be just a small episode. Then Robot No. [-] quickly raised its head and began to climb to the opposite bank. After a while, it reached the entrance of the passage, and then used the same method to build a cable bridge to slide the gecko palm we needed.According to the previous method, everyone climbed to the opposite bank in a short time.At this moment, as the light of our flashlights shifted, the tomb filled with mercury and pearls behind us gradually dimmed.

What is the function of this tomb built in imitation of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum?
Why did Xu Fu plan his tomb like this?

And the curse and the picture on the cauldron, and the last picture of the god and man conferring the crown, is it real or not?All these mysteries are in front of us, but we have no clue.

Everyone was thinking about the curse, so they couldn't help cheering up 12 points. With flashlights on, the four robots were in the front, back, left, and right corners to open the way, and the rest of us were in the middle, heading towards the end of the passage.

This tomb passage is about four meters wide. Except for the arched entrance, the interior is a standard straight-line structure, square and square, made of black tomb bricks, and it doesn't know where it leads.During this process, Professor Lin analyzed with us, and he has his own views on the patterns on the bronze tripod.

In ancient times, god-given power was emphasized. If our previous speculation is true, then Xu Fu led his troops to land in Fusang more than 2000 years ago. In order to gain dominance, he would definitely play a trick of the king's order and god-given to win the people's conviction.The first seven pictures are credible, but the last one is not credible, because it is a deception used by Xu Fu in order to consolidate his newly established kingship.Of course, this deception cannot be seen through. Even after death, it must be recorded as a real event. There are many such cases in history. In many archaeological activities, similar unreliable records can be found.

After some professional explanations by Professor Lin, everyone came to understand. At this time, the tomb passage has come to an end, and there is a gray stone gate at the end. When we saw the stone gate, we felt very uncomfortable, because there is no other reason. , there is a relief on the stone gate, engraved with a huge eyeball, and at this moment, several flashlights shine on the eyeball, it is staring at us coldly, making people have to think about Xu Fu's curse.

Could it be that the eyes mentioned in the curse refer to these?If it's really these sculpted fake eyes, it's really not going to scare us.Everyone was stunned for a moment and then came back to their senses, ready to open the door of the tomb.During the Qin Dynasty, there were relatively few anti-theft mechanisms. Unlike the later period, vicious institutions such as arsenopyrite sheds were developed.Most of the organs of the Qin Dynasty were swords and crossbows, and it was easy to avoid them as long as they knew the way.Although this stone gate is heavy, it also uses natural stone technology, so it was easily cracked by us.After the stone gate was opened, I thought it was also a tomb behind it, but to everyone's surprise, this tomb was so big that it could be said that the flashlight couldn't shine through to the bottom, and I couldn't see the head from the left and right, and couldn't see the top from the top. Walking in is like being swallowed by darkness.

Professor Lin was quite surprised and said, "What a big tomb."

Tofu glanced at it, but didn't see any burial objects, and the ground was empty, so he said, "This place is so big, there is nothing left, what is it used for." He said, shaking the flashlight and walking forward Well, this boy Tofu has someone backing him up, or when there are many people, he is very courageous. If you want to put him in this place alone, he will be frightened into a soft-legged shrimp. How dare he sway like this.

I just wanted to tell him not to wander around, the place is so empty, I was afraid there would be a trap, but before I could start talking, Tofu groaned and said, "There is a tree here."

Nonsense, where did the tree come from in the tomb?

Because Tofu traveled relatively far, his flashlight illuminated a direction in the distance, but in the light, a standing thing like a giant tree trunk suddenly appeared.Everyone was so amazed that they couldn't help walking away in three steps at a time. When they arrived at the location of the tofu, several flashlights converged together, and the shape of the tree became clearer.

It turns out that this is a huge stone sculpture, even if it is a tree, its height cannot be seen due to the light. There is a huge stone pillar in the middle that can only be embraced by seven or eight people, and many smaller branches are derived from the stone pillar. , Tofu described it as a tree, and I think it is a bit like the wooden stakes used by the ancients to practice martial arts in the past.

Why is such a large stone pile erected here?
At this time, Gu Wenmin squinted his eyes and looked up, saying: "There seems to be something on the branch." Robot No. [-] said: "I'll go up and have a look." Dang even climbed up the stone pillar, and within a while, he I got down from the stone pillar again, and I also had something more in hand. When I saw it, it was a black wooden box covered with iron.

Due to the age, the iron sheet on the surface of the box has rusted away, and the wooden box itself has a small copper lock with an animal head on it.The keyhole was very delicate, and the wooden box was heavy in his hand, as if it contained some treasure.

Tofu rubbed his hands excitedly, and said, "It's Miss Gu who has sharp eyes, open it quickly and take a look." Robot No. [-] nodded, took out a chisel, and smashed it on the copper lock, and the copper lock snapped open. It fell, fell to the ground with a click, and the wooden box immediately popped open automatically.I don't think so: the wooden box popped open by itself, could there be some kind of mechanism?But because the distance is too close, there is no room for us to react, and it is too late to hide.

After the wooden box was opened, I thought there would be some hidden mechanism coming out, but there was no movement inside. Looking inside, I saw a strange, shrunken human face in an instant, with a strange expression on it. Looking at us with a smile.

"Scared..." A strange human face suddenly appeared in the palm-sized wooden box, which shocked everyone. Tofu jumped back and hid directly behind me, not even daring to raise his head.When I looked at it suddenly, my heart felt trembling and my legs felt weak, but when I took a second look, I felt that something was wrong. This face was not real, but was painted inside the wooden box.

This human face is painted with blue material, the nose is very long, the skin on the face is wrinkled, like dead tree bark, and only one eye has grown. At this moment, that eye is staring at us, and the face that looks like a human is not human. On his face, a strange mouth cracked into a sly smile.The nose is fine, and the one-eyed eye is also acceptable, but the mouth is the only thing that is unforgettable at first sight.

Its mouth is protruding, resembling a horn, and inside the horn, there is something like a snake letter, I don't know what it is.

Other than that, there is nothing in the whole wooden box.Professor Lin pushed his glasses, stared at the weird human face on the wooden box, and said, "This seems to be 'Bisu', a monster in Fusang folklore that can travel between Yin and Yang." Fusang people are very strange. Compared with fearing ghosts and gods, they are more willing to believe that they live in a world full of monsters, so they have made many films with monsters as the theme. Therefore, the ghost culture of Fuso, which we are used to calling "monster culture", some Things that are difficult to understand with common sense are called demons.

Professor Lin said that this beard is a kind of "demon".

Duan Fei and Wu Sidong obviously didn't have enough kung fu, so they probably hadn't heard of this saying, so Wu Sidong asked: "Is this Bixu real? Why did it appear in Xu Fu's tomb? Does this mean that Xu Fu and others are here?" When I climbed Fusang, did I see Bisu? He drew the image of Bisu in this way and put it on this strange stone pillar, what's the point?"

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether these are meaningful to those of us who dig mushrooms upside down, but they are different in archaeology. Wu Sidong’s crackling questions are actually very professional. Professor Lin affirmed his questions , Said: "This is exactly what I am wondering now."

Robot No. 20 pointed to the top of his head and said: "I just looked at it from a high place. The height of this place is about [-] meters. We should have entered the mountainside, and this stone pillar has been built to the top. There are many such wooden pillars on it. The box." I was a little puzzled, and thought that there was nothing in the wooden box except for a painting of Bizutou, so what is the purpose of getting all these?

Could it be that the tomb robbers were taken aback as soon as they opened it, as they were just now?
Everyone looked at each other, puzzled, so Professor Lin decided to keep the box for future research.Just as we were about to continue our search, Duan Fei wrinkled his nose and said, "It seems to have a scent." We all wear gas masks, so we are not sensitive to smells. I don't know how Duan Fei smelled it out, but When she said that, I took off the gas mask more thoughtfully, and as soon as I took off the mask, I smelled a strong fragrance, which came out of the wooden box in Professor Lin's hand of.

"Not good!" I quickly put on the mask and said, "This thing exudes a strange smell. It may be poisonous. Don't take off your gas mask."

Gu Wenmin immediately became worried, and asked me if I felt any other sensations after inhaling the gas just now. I guess I smelled it for a short time, so my body didn’t feel abnormal. Fortunately, we have gas masks, otherwise I’m afraid I’ve already been tricked.Upon hearing this, Professor Lin had no choice but to put down the wooden box.Everyone ignored the stone pillar in the middle, but spread out to search this huge space, hoping to find the way to the main tomb.

Scattered, there were fewer people, and Tofu became timid, and followed me like a tail. We were looking for the west side. We walked all the way, flashing the flashlight around, but found nothing.
