Notes on Tomb Raiders: God will punish evil

Page 182

Although my skill has weakened a lot, my throwing knife is still flawless, so hitting the opponent is not a problem at all.

Silver throwing knives are different from bullets, their damage to evil things is multiplied.

Sure enough, at the same time that the diamond-shaped flying knife hit the opponent, there was a strange cry from above the forest, and then a huge thing suddenly fell from the sky.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a very strange monster.

To be precise, it was a vampire bat the size of a monkey. Three of my throwing knives were pierced into its abdomen, and the three large holes almost hollowed out its entire body.

The thing was still shaking, and a cyan liquid flowed out.

However, it is obvious that this is another corpse, because this ghost has a strong corpse aura.

Without any hesitation, I immediately swiped the blood-thinning knife, and the vampire bat's head rolled off.

With a livid face, I said to Zhu Minliang: "I'm afraid the matter is not that simple. What we have to do now is to find out the specific location of this ancient tomb."

Zhu Minliang said: "I remember that the entrance to the ancient tomb is near here, but I just used my mental power to sense it, but I didn't find anything."

There is such a thing, for a psychiatrist, sensing everything around him is his unique ability, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

I just used the third child to perceive the location of the tomb to carry out tomb robbery activities, and thus made a fortune. For so many years, the third child has never missed a hand.

I said to Zhu Minliang: "Have you remembered correctly, are you sure that the entrance to the tomb is near here?"

Zhu Minliang nodded and said: "How can I remember wrongly, the only explanation is that someone buried the entrance, and buried it completely, if the entrance is simply hidden, I can feel it with my mental strength. "

The problem now is very difficult. It is almost dawn, but we are still not sure of the entrance to the ancient tomb, and even Zhu Minliang's mental strength can't feel the existence of the tomb.

However, a strange detail caught my attention, because, not far ahead, there are many strangely shaped stones erected, like many eerie tombstones erected, adding a gloomy atmosphere to this eerie forest.

Chapter No.17 Sacrificial Stone

Out of the curiosity of an archaeologist, I couldn't help but want to study these stones in order to obtain more information about the ancient tomb.

Because, I can see at a glance that these stones are unusual, and someone deliberately placed them here.

The knowledge of archaeology tells me that regardless of ancient people or modern people, there must be a reason for everything they do, and it is impossible to do useless work.

So what is the purpose of these stones stacked here?

As soon as I approached there, Zhu Minliang suddenly said to me: "Mr. Huang, don't go near there!"

My footsteps stopped all of a sudden, and when I turned around, I looked at Zhu Minliang very strangely, not understanding what he meant by that.

Zhu Minliang said: "Those stones are the sacrifice stones of the ghost clan, and they are the most important things in the clan. If you move these stones, trouble will come to you soon."

Hearing such words, I couldn't help but think of the ghost clan offering sacrifices to boys and girls, and couldn't help asking: "What is the function of the ghost clan's sacrificial stone?"

Zhu Minliang said: "I'm not very clear about the details, but I know that every year when the ghost clan sacrifices, these stones are used, and outsiders are not allowed to touch these stones. If they do, they will be regarded as life and death by the ghost clan Enemy."

There are such strange rules, Zhu Minliang said this, I became more curious about these stones.

"It's okay, I just want to see what's weird about these stones." I said to Zhu Minliang, in fact, Zhu Minliang's words could not stop my desire to explore this stone.

These stones were erected together in a disorderly manner. I took a closer look and found that they were all bluestones with basically the same color, which indicated that they came from the same place.

The question I am concerned about now is when and where these bluestones were transported. From an archaeological point of view, this is indeed very important.

I preliminarily estimated that there are more than 100 of these erected bluestones. They are like tombstones in front of the tomb, erected in a mess, and there are faint words on many stones.

Because the age is too long, many words have been blurred.

I tried to find the regularity of these bluestones, but soon I was disappointed, at least I haven't been able to find any regularity.

At this time, the sky had already begun to light up, and in the eastern sky, a ray of light began to light up the entire earth.

I can also see the appearance of the bluestone more clearly, and at the same time, the words on it are also clearer.

Although I can't fully recognize the handwriting, I still found a clue from these strokes.

To my great surprise, this turned out to be a text from the Northern and Southern Dynasties period.

The brushstrokes are extremely vigorous, and the characters are mixed together, but there is a faint shadow of official script. This kind of calligraphy feature, which is similar in shape but not in spirit, is a unique character feature of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it is difficult for modern people to imitate.

In this way, these bluestones have a history of more than 500 years.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, although China was in a turbulent era, many things were still in line with the atmosphere of the times. For example, Buddhist civilization, such as writing, all have obvious characteristics.

I majored in archeology at Peking University, so I am familiar with these things, and naturally I also know the characteristics of characters in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Because of the wind and the sun, many handwritings could not be read at all, and the ones that could be read were some characters with large fonts and deep into the stone, but even so, it only left a shallow mark on it.

I read these words very hard, and found that what these words recorded turned out to be information about a large tomb.

Because of the incompleteness of the text, the information I obtained is extremely limited, and it is difficult to deduce from the text that a large tomb once existed here.

On a piece of bluestone, a line of characters was engraved with vigorous brushwork, four of which I can still vaguely make out.

It reads: Wang, Yu, Di, An.

These four characters are particularly large and intermittent. Although they have been eroded by wind and rain for thousands of years, it can still be seen that the calligraphy was vigorous and vigorous. This is definitely written by a person with extremely high calligraphy attainments.

Obviously, these four characters are directly related to the owner of the tomb.

The piece of bluestone that engraved the words is the larger one among all the bluestones, and it stands there, very obvious.Judging from the imprint of the characters, it must have been engraved very deep back then, and it was painted with vermilion lacquer and placed in a very dangerous position.

If you look closely, you can still find traces of vermilion lacquer.

Everything is inconsistent, because Xichuan in the Southern and Northern Dynasties was a barren area, not only the culture was very backward, but also the tomb forms were all kinds of strange.

But this large tomb obviously has the tomb structure of a great country in the Central Plains. What is the reason for this?

A very strange idea popped up in my mind, I was thinking: "The original function of these stones was not to sacrifice, but to tell us some very important information."

However, a new question arises, why did the owner of the tomb use bluestone to tell us this information, and what is its real purpose?

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, although the central part of Xichuan was already very rich, it was still in a very barbaric era in the southern region, especially this strange town, I guess it was deserted at that time.

Although this is an excellent location to build a tomb, no one wants to build their resting place in a swamp, and it is quite difficult to build a tomb in a swamp.

It's a pity that all the words are incomplete and intermittent, and even the specific information of the owner of the tomb cannot be read clearly.

Who would build the tomb here? I thought about the dignitaries of Xichuan during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but I couldn't think of a suitable person.

After a busy night, I didn't have any clues. Although I could still hold on, Zhu Minliang obviously couldn't.He is a spiritual teacher, if the spirit is poor, it will directly affect its ability to feel the spirit.

However, when we got back to the hotel, I heard the explosive news that the hotel owner was dead.
