Tomb Raider: I, at the beginning, took Fatty Lao Hu as my younger brother

"I'm sorry, Teacher Hao, I, I didn't expect there would be human bones in here, and I wasn't mentally prepared enough." Xiao Ye said embarrassedly.

Professor Hao got up and dug out a lot of bones. He held them in his hands and said in confusion, "These really seem to be human bones."

Why are there human bones here?

"Professor Hao, these bones are a bit strange!" Old Hu pointed out as he looked at the human bones that did not match the desert scene.

"What's so strange about this?" asked the fat man.

"For those who die in the desert, their bones and flesh will not rot. They usually become mummies after being naturally dried..."

Before Old Hu finished speaking, Shirley Yang said, "But there is not even a bit of flesh on these bones."

Lao Hu nodded, indicating that this was the strange part.

"They must be people who encountered a storm and hid here, but were eventually eaten by wolves. So those of us on duty must not be careless and stay alert."

"We'll leave as soon as the storm passes."

Zhou Xun knew that everyone was resting in the nest of desert army ants, and the bones were left over by the desert army ants.

But we can't say it out loud, otherwise no one would dare to rest.

"Master Zhou, how about I wait until the wind dies down and shoot a yellow sheep and roast it for dinner? I have a gun anyway, and I'm really tired of eating this dried meat, so I'll improve everyone's meals."

The fat man waved the shotgun in his hand, indicating that he was greedy...

"No, the sound of your gun will scare away all the animals here. Once they run out, they will be buried alive in the black desert."

"We are the same as these animals. We are all blessed by God to hide here!"

"If you're like this, even if we run away, God will punish us!"

Anliman's actions were no different from Tang Monk's chanting of sutras, and the damage caused was also similar, which directly confused the fat man.

"Okay, okay, okay, stop, stop, I was wrong!"

"Is it okay if I don't eat it?"

"I'll just eat my meat, okay?"

The fat man quickly surrendered!

After that, he looked at Zhou Xun unwillingly.

Zhou Xun knew exactly what the fat man meant. He just wanted him to go hunting with a knife.

"Don't look at me. It's not that I don't want to. Killing a yellow sheep with a knife is a piece of cake, but if blood is seen, aren't you afraid of attracting other things that are more terrifying than wolves?" Zhou Xun said helplessly.

The fat man was hit from both ends and threw himself into Lao Hu's arms in despair.

But he didn't expect to be pushed to the side by Lao Hu.

Are you kidding? Lao Hu has always wanted to seduce this foreign girl. What if he is misunderstood?

After suffering three blows, the fat man looked at the fire with lifeless eyes.

I don’t know what he is thinking!

"Come on, Professor Chen, have a drink to relieve your fatigue!" Zhou Xun handed over his wine jug.

"thanks, thanks!"

When Professor Chen saw the wine, he quickly took it and thanked him.

After taking a big sip, he immediately felt refreshed and recalled: "In the past, we worked in the wild all year round, and later we were locked up in a cowshed, worked in the May 7th Cadre School, and went to the labor camp to dig rocks in the mountains. We survived all of this because of this thing."

"Here, thank you."

Professor Chen returned the wine jug to Zhou Xun.

"Comrade Xiao Zhou, if it weren't for you today, my old bones would have been left in the desert and dried into a mummy. Thank you, thank you!"

Professor Chen clasped his hands together and expressed his gratitude.

"It's okay, it's just a small favor, Professor Chen, don't worry about it!" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"Okay, now that you've had enough to eat and drink, let's all get ready to rest! All the young men, come over here, let's finalize the duties of the shift."

After Zhou Xun arranged the duty order and time with everyone, everyone began to pack their sleeping bags.

"Fatty, let's bury the bones. It's uncomfortable for everyone to leave them here." After Lao Hu tidied up his sleeping bag, he said to the fat man beside him.

"Okay, let's bury it there. No one outside can get out."

The fat man randomly pointed to an empty tunnel.

"it is good!"

The two men came to the place where the fat man pointed casually.

One started digging a hole, and the other wrapped the bones in cloth.

Suddenly, Lao Hu, who was digging a hole, seemed to have dug up something hard, and there was a collision sound of "click!".

"What's wrong? What happened?" the fat man asked puzzledly.

"It's impossible, the house shouldn't be so short!" Lao Hu also asked in confusion.

"Is there something down there? Let me take a look for you!"

After the fat man finished speaking, he turned on the flashlight and shone it on the small hole that had been dug.

Lao Hu used his hands to scrape all the sand around the thing aside.

"Black stone egg?" said the fat man depressedly.

The commotion here also attracted the crowd who were preparing to take a break, and everyone came over to watch.

"Whatever it is, let's dig it out first."

After the fat man finished speaking, he started digging.

Zhou Xun looked at everyone who was watching curiously, and sighed inwardly: Alas, curiosity kills the cat. However, he did not try to stop them. It was probably useless to stop them at this time. After all, who can stop human curiosity?

"It looks like a head!"

“But this thing is too ugly.”

The fat man complained as he looked at the dug-out stone statue head.

"This looks like a statue enshrined in a mountain temple!" Lao Hu guessed.

"Don't move, don't move anymore, don't move anymore." Anliman looked at everyone watching here, and came over to take a look out of concern, and quickly gestured.

Then he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the stone statue's head to apologize!

"Don't worry about him!" As a citizen of the new society of reform and opening up, the fat man doesn't care about these things at all.

"Aiguo, have we seen this kind of stone statue somewhere before?" Professor Chen looked at the stone statue carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.

"I've seen it. In the Thousand Coffin Tomb in XJ, there seems to be one that is exactly the same as his. The eyes are abnormally huge, different from those of ordinary people. This should be the giant pupil stone statue!"

Professor Hao is younger, and after Professor Chen’s reminder, he immediately remembered where he had seen him.

"It's not just that one place. Such stone statues with giant pupils have been found in Tianshan Mountains, Altay, Hotan River Basin, and our grasslands in Xinjiang." Professor Chen also remembered.

"Professor Chen, what is the origin of this stone statue?" Shirley Yang asked, wanting to see if it had any connection with the Jingjue Ancient City.

"There are different opinions in the archaeological community about the origin of this stone statue. Some scholars have proposed that it is a kind of deity worshipped by the grassland people, but some people say that it is a relic left by the ancient Turks. Until now, there is no conclusion, so it can be regarded as an unsolved mystery."

Professor Chen adjusted his glasses and said awkwardly.

"Professor, since this statue is so mysterious, why don't we dig it out and take a look!" Chu Jian suggested.

"No, no, this is arranged by the gods. If you move it, you will be punished by God." Anliman stopped him.

"We are doing scientific research, not messing around," Professor Hao said angrily.

"What I mean is don't move. This stone statue gives me a sense of danger. There is a sandstorm outside right now. If something really happens, we won't be able to run away." Zhou Xun also stopped him.

"Old man, you are too much of a God. God can't control us."

Zhou Xun was immediately amused by the word God.

"I think it's right to listen to Master Zhou. If there's any danger, we really can't escape." Old Hu believed Zhou Xun and suggested.

"Yes, yes, let's listen to Master Zhou." The fat man also said quickly.

Zhou Xun sensed the danger, and no one thought they were talking nonsense. After all, everyone had witnessed Zhou Xun's abilities along the way.

"Since Comrade Xiao Zhou also said so, let's not move for now and wait until the storm outside stops. Let's go and have some rest!"

Professor Chen said.

"Then everyone go and have a rest. Fatty and I will bury the bones." Old Hu waved to Fatty.

At night, everyone rested and Zhou Xun took over to keep watch.

He lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Looking back on the time I have spent in the world of tomb raiding, every day is indeed exciting.

Life on earth is not lived in vain.

But when Zhou Xun saw Shirley Yang coming over, he was confused. What's going on? Why are you looking for me instead of Lao Hu?

Shirley Yang, wearing leather pants, walked up to Zhou Xun with her long legs and said, "Captain Zhou, go to sleep. I'll keep watch for you."

"No need, I've just started, you go back and rest." Zhou Xun said in confusion.

"sorry!"

"What?" Zhou Xun continued to be confused. Shouldn't he say thank you?

"In the beginning, I was very worried when I asked you to be the team leader. I doubted your ability since you are too young. But after seeing your skills and knowledge along the way, I am very glad that I made the choice I did," Shirley Yang said with a smile.

Chapter 28: It's OK to tease Shirley Yang

"It's okay, I'm indeed very young, and it's normal to have this worry." Zhou Xun smiled. He didn't expect Shirley Yang to be talking about this.

"Are you wondering why I'm looking for the Ancient City of Jingjue?" Shirley Yang was about to start speaking frankly.

"No, no matter what your purpose is, I will take you to find the Ancient City of Jingjue. After all, you spent 600,000 US dollars to find the three of us, which is a lot of money." After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.

"If we really find the Jingjue Ancient City, then the six hundred thousand will be worth it. If you weren't along the way, we wouldn't have been able to survive unscathed." Shirley Yang looked at Zhou Xun sincerely.

Zhou Xun looked at Shirley Yang's eyes and felt that this woman might have fallen in love with him.

What about Lao Hu?

"You said you also got a notebook that recorded the ancient city of Jingjue? That man went crazy when he came out?" Shirley Yang asked.

This woman's mind changes so quickly. She was looking at him affectionately just now, but now she starts to ask questions, and Zhou Xun almost couldn't catch it.

But he still responded: "That's right, so the Jingjue Ancient City may be the most dangerous place in this desert."

"On the eve of the outbreak of World War II, there was an explorer from Country Y named Walter who led an expedition into the Taklimakan Desert. He was the only one who came out alive, and by then he had completely lost his mind."

After that, Shirley Yang took out the notebook left by Walter and handed it to Zhou Xun.

"What we know now is that the Ancient City of Jingjue does exist. At the same time, it is also very dangerous. People who have been there either die or go crazy. This is too strange." Shirley Yang said.

Zhou Xun took the notebook, looked at it casually, and then returned it to Shirley Yang.

"So, you have to be prepared. I can't make sure I can bring everyone out completely. Do you understand?"

Zhou Xun understood too well the dangers of the Jingjue Ancient City. Once you enter, you will experience hallucinations. No ordinary person can bear it.

"I see!"

"The way you searched for the Ancient City of Jingjue reminded me of a legend. Do you want to know what it is?" Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"If you want to, tell me!" Shirley Yang didn't want to give up the knowledge related to the Jingjue Ancient City at all.

"Legend has it that there is a tomb-robbing sect called the Mountain Moving Taoists. They have existed for a very long time, and generation after generation have entered various ancient tombs, not for gold or silver treasures, but only to find something called the Zhuochen Pearl. People who know about this believe that this Zhuochen Pearl can make people immortal, so they think that the Mountain Moving Taoists are looking for the elixir of life."
