Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 137: Three-Life Bridge, Three-Life Coffin

Jiang Hua felt relieved and released Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi and Fatty with a wave of his hand.

After everyone has stood firm.

The fat man couldn't help but say, "Fuck, that big bug isn't dead yet."

"You almost scared me to death!"

Hu Bayi also said with lingering fear: "I didn't expect that this big bug didn't die even after so many grenades exploded inside its body."

Shirley Yang asked with concern: "Jiang Hua, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. This Huo's immortal worm was so scary just now that I almost died in its hands."

"Fortunately, I used a trick and sneaked into the tomb of King Xian when it wasn't paying attention. Otherwise, it would take us four or five years to get here."

Shirley Yang heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Jiang Hua had no injuries.

“Is this the tomb of King Xian?”

Shirley Yang looked around.

The tomb chamber is not big. In the middle is a raised platform with several strange-looking statues placed on it. They should be the gods believed in by the ancient Dian Kingdom.

Surrounding the central stone platform is a burial ditch.

Jiang Hua walked over and took a look, and found that it was full of bones.

Hu Bayi pondered and said, "These should be the workers who built the Tomb of King Xian. After the Tomb of King Xian was completed, King Xian slaughtered all the workers here in order to ensure the secrecy of his tomb."

The fat man curled his lips slightly and said, "This old guy, King Xian, is really not a good guy. He has killed so many people along the way."

Shirley Yang shook her head and said, "In some small countries in ancient times, many of them preserved the slave system. King Xian slaughtered so many people and exhausted all the resources of the ancient Dian Kingdom just to help him build a heavenly palace. Is it really worth it?"

Jiang Hua sighed, "For these ancient emperors, immortality and becoming an immortal were their lifelong pursuits. To achieve their goals, slaughtering a few hundred thousand people is nothing."

Shirley Yang looked at the murals in the tomb.

"The scene depicted on this mural is exactly the scene of the slaves building the Tomb of King Xian and the Lingyun Palace."

"Such a magnificent celestial palace and tomb is truly a miracle of mankind."

The fat man walked back and forth in the tomb.

But no treasure was found.

There are all kinds of stone statues, murals and other items.

He seemed a little disappointed, muttering, "Isn't this old boy Xian Wang too stingy?"

"We have nothing. We are not as rich as the Jingjue Ancient City."

Jiang Hua heard what he said and said with a smile: "Fatty, this is not the Tomb of King Xian, it's just an entrance. Of course, it's impossible to put the treasure here."

The fat man's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then let's quickly find the tomb of King Xian.

"Don't worry, let's see what's here first."

But no one noticed.

It seems that this is indeed just an entrance to the tomb.

These stone statues of gods are placed here to suppress the earth energy of the tomb.

Then everyone came to the front.

There is a slope here.

There is a huge stone gate below.

This stone gate is made of bricks and looks quite old. There are many spider webs on it, and it is obvious that no one has been here for a long time.

There is a carving of a mythical beast on both sides of the stone gate.

But its appearance was strange and Jiang Hua couldn't recognize what kind of mythical beast it was.

The fat man seemed a little impatient.

He rushed over to see how to open the stone door.

But what is surprising is that this stone door does not have any handles, it is just like a wall.

The fat man asked in distress: "How do I open this stone door?"

"Where is its mechanism?"

Hu Bayi was also observing the stone gate from the side.

"It should be nearby, let's look for it."

"Could it be on these two divine beasts?"

The fat man stretched out his hand and groped the two mythical beasts beside the stone gate.

It's a pity that I observed it carefully for a long time.

No one discovered the mechanism.

Jiang Hua frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that after King Xian went to the tomb, he directly sealed the main tomb chamber?"

Shirley Yang also said: "It's possible."

"As a Feng Shui master, King Xian naturally knows how to prevent his tomb from being robbed."

"I think it's possible that King Xian has sealed the entrance to this stone gate."

Hearing Shirley Yang's words, the fat man couldn't help but get angry.

"King Xian is such a jerk, he's still causing so much trouble even after his death. Why don't we just blow up this stone door?"

Hu Bayi quickly stopped him.

"Fatty, you are risking your life. We are underwater. If the tomb of King Xian is blown down by a bomb, we will all be buried alive here."

"Then Old Hu, what do you think we should do?" The fat man seemed a little annoyed.

"Or we can use tools to break open this stone door." Hu Bayi thought for a while.

"Okay then. This stone door should be made of bricks. We can just use tools to get the bricks out."

Jiang Hua, who was carefully observing the stone gate at the side, suddenly said: "We can't dig open this stone gate rashly." "Ah, why?" The fat man was stunned.

Jiang Hua did not answer and walked to the stone gate.

"You all stay away from me."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then followed Jiang Hua's instructions and retreated three feet away.

Jiang Hua's eyes were fixed on the stone bricks.

Then he raised two extremely long and slender fingers.

A sudden force.

It was inserted into the stone brick.

His movements were very gentle and his fingers were very steady.

Then gently take out the brick parallel to the ground.

There was no shaking at all.

"Is this... two-finger caving?"

Shirley Yang said in surprise.

After Jiang Hua took out the stone brick.

He took out another tube from the storage space.

Gently insert it into the gap between the stone bricks.

Suddenly, a light brown liquid appeared.

It flowed out of the pipe.

The light brown liquid flowed onto the ground nearby, corroding the ground into a large hole.

Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi and the fat man's pupils shrank and they all swallowed their saliva. What would happen if this light brown liquid sprayed on them?
Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

After all the light brown liquid had drained away, Jiang Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief and kicked the stone door away, shattering the rubble all over the ground.

"These are all vanadic acids produced by ancient alchemy. If you rashly break this stone door, these strong organic acids will spray out and pour on people."

"As for the end...you have seen it."

The fat man swallowed his saliva and couldn't help cursing, "King Xian, this old guy, is he too damn insidious?"

"Even a stone door was filled with some kind of strong acid."

"Once we enter his tomb, we must grind his bones to dust!"

Everyone laughed.

"Let's go, don't be poor here."

Jiang Hua led everyone and walked forward along the stone gate.

Inside this stone gate is a tomb passage.

When everyone turned on their flashlights, they saw the scene in the tomb passage.

There are small holes around the tomb passage.

In these small holes, there are pottery jars, bronze artifacts, various animal bones, and some birds.

It seems that King Xian was going to take it to heaven when he ascended to heaven.

Unfortunately, he was not able to achieve immortality.

These items have gone through more than two thousand years of baptism.

It has become dilapidated.

The fat man couldn't help but reach out and touch a clay jar.

Suddenly, the pottery jar turned into a gust of sand.

Disappeared in the air.

The fat man showed a trace of surprise.

"How is this going?"

Jiang Hua smiled and said, "These things are useless. Let's go to the main tomb first. There should be some good things there."

Hearing Jiang Hua's words, the fat man also became excited.

He said happily: "Yes, the old man Xian Wang is so stingy, there must be a lot of good things in his tomb."

After everyone walked out of the tomb passage, they came to a canyon.

The canyon was deep and dark, and no one knew how deep it was.

And in the middle of the canyon, there is a stone bridge.

This stone bridge is divided into three sections.

There are two statues in the middle for offering incense.

Shirley Yang said: "This is the Three Life Bridge. I read in an ancient book that after death, people need to cross the Three Life Bridge first to get rid of the troubles of the world and become immortal gods!"

The fat man pouted and said, "It's useless. Isn't King Xian dead anyway?"

"That's right, these are just ways the ancients imagined to comfort themselves." Shirley Yang said with a smile.

Everyone walked across the Three Worlds Bridge.

Then they came to a natural cave.

There is a large space here, with three coffins placed inside.

One bronze coffin and one wooden coffin.

There is also a sarcophagus.
