【Bottle Evil】Tomb Raider

Poker Ping has lived for too long, and I only know about a short period of ten years in his long life. Before I met him, what kind of life he lived, who he knew, what he did, What I know is just the tip of the iceberg.And the Zhang family has existed for thousands of years, and all the secrets hidden by this family were once on his shoulders alone. Did Poker Ping at that time also think about getting rid of all this?I guess not, Poker-Face has been given various missions since he was born. He has never experienced the life of ordinary people, so how can he imagine it.What's more, he is a person who has gone through thousands of sufferings.

So what now?In the illusion, I saw Poker Ping who was chasing his destiny with Brother Zhang in the past. Compared with now, I know that he has changed after all. These changes were brought to him by us. I hope this change is enough for him For a moment, imagine a possible life.

Seeing that neither of us spoke anymore, the fat man couldn't help adjusting the atmosphere, he pointed to another stone carving not far away, and said, "Stop playing charades, you two, go and have a look there, the fat man seems to have seen There's a sequel."

The fat man probably understood what I meant, but at the same time he was worried that Poker-Face's answer would disappoint me.In fact, I asked myself, whether I was in Poker Ping's imagination or not, it didn't matter in itself.I was touched by myself, and I thought that I have to talk to the fat man later, this fucking is the dedication of love.

I patted Poker-Face on the shoulder, smiled at him and said, "Let's talk later, I think you want to watch Fatty's sequel first."

The fat man squinted at me, "Stop laughing, it's uglier than crying."

The three of them walked to the next stone carving area, which seemed to be the historical records of the tribe.People in Stone City have passed down the exquisite stone carving craftsmanship from generation to generation. Although they are almost isolated from the world, they live a peaceful and peaceful life.

This part of the stone carvings is very rich in content, showing all aspects of people's lives here, such as how they excavate mountains to get stones, how to build stone cities, how to carve various stone statues, how to communicate with gods and ancestors through grand ceremonies, and of course Including the farewell of the dead mentioned above.

We noticed that in this large area of ​​stone carvings, the pictures are connected to each other, and they are put together to form a map of the entire mountain range and its surroundings.And in the center of the map, there is a lake shrouded in thick fog.

However, the details of this lake are not reflected in the picture.

In the stone carvings of the farewell ceremony that I saw earlier, lakes also appeared. Those who died were finally placed on a small boat and sent to a lake by the river. It seems that this lake is the place for every farewell ceremony. end.

Then, this lake should represent the world after death, but why is there no description.

The three looked at each other, and the fat man said, "This lake must be evil."

I raised my eyebrows, "What do you say?"

"Think about it." Fatty pointed to the lake covered in mist, "How many years has it been, and how many dead people this lake has received, don't let it be filled up."

When the fat man said this, he was a little terrified. It is said that when a person dies in the water, his soul will be trapped in the water. That's why the water ghost has to find a substitute. Only after finding a substitute can he leave and reincarnate.There are rivers and lakes in some places where people drown every year, and the locals will say that the rivers and lakes are important people, and there is nothing they can do about it.

"Look at the location drawn on the map, it shouldn't be far away, go and look for it?" I said, I have to look to know the truth.

Poker Fing was thoughtful, looked around and said to us, "Look for other stone carvings first."

I understand the meaning of Poker Bottle. The huge stone carving in front of us should not be the last part. We haven't seen how the stone city is going to decline.

We began to look for the stone carvings that recorded the last history of Stone City. We thought that it must be a meteorite that flew from the sky and fell down, but we felt that it was too outrageous. The fate of this city seemed to be abruptly and quietly. And stop.However, will there be survivors who will record all this? Where is that person or his descendants? Is it the person who just appeared in the fog and attacked me?

Not long after, we saw the last moments of Stone City on a stone pillar.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of our necks, and we saw the city die in the thick fog over the lake.

The carving techniques of this part of the stone carvings are obviously different from the previous exquisite and delicate ones. The lines are rough and even wild. It feels like the sculptor carved them in a hurry at a very tense moment.Could it be that the sculptor is also facing death?

What is depicted on the stone pillar is that the thick fog on the lake spread to the stone city, and when the thick fog cleared, all the people in the city turned into stones.

"I'll go." The fat man said, "This fog is poisonous. The fog that surrounded our brothers just now must be this kind of fog."

I also thought of the fog just now, the process was too similar, but brother Zhang said that there was only water vapor in the fog, could it be that he didn't smell it?

Continuing to look down, two figures appeared on the stone carvings. They faced the stone city, staring and standing.

"It's a survivor," I said. "It doesn't look like someone turned to stone."

My conjecture was quickly proved. In the next picture, there are only two people left in the huge stone city. These two people continue to live here and carve stone statues of other people.

I instantly thought of the stone statues in the corridor ahead. The stone statues were exactly the same as those stone figures, with two different styles. It was very likely that they were carved by these two people.

During the long days of losing all their clansmen, these two people depended on each other for their lives, carving stone statues of the dead clansmen, probably in memory of their clansmen.

"This time we got it right." Fatty concluded, "This village is unlucky. Something happened in the lake and killed all the people. Two people survived by luck. These two people are the last hope of the whole village. They're still here, the ones you met innocently in the fog just now, maybe they are them."

On the surface, it seems that this is indeed the case, but looking back on the whole thing, there are still many mysteries, such as what is in the lake and the fog that can destroy the entire village, and why the two people survived? Those who attacked me, how many years have they lived in this huge underground world.

These questions have not yet been explained, and the sound of a stream of water gradually became clearer.

The three of them were all startled, and looking for the sound, they saw a waterway under the round platform, which was already dry and empty, but now it was gushing out water.

The water is very clear, and there is no strange smell. We looked along the waterway, and the waterway led to the invisible place behind the stone city.

"It must be lake water." The fat man said, "Do you remember that the boats in the painting were sent to the lake from a waterway?"

Poker-Face nodded, said "Go", and walked along the waterway.

We walked towards the depths of the dark mountain and gradually left the stone city. The river banks on both sides began to become narrower and narrower. Finally, the mountains on both sides of the waterway closed together, and we had to go into the water.

The water in the channel was a bit cold, and the channel became deeper. We waded through the water. At first, the water reached our knees, but as we walked, the water reached our waists. We wondered if we were going to swim.However, the bottom of the waterway is not silt, but a shallow layer of river sand, which can be stepped on to the bottom. This is obviously a artificially constructed channel.

"Is there a little bit of déjà vu." The fat man said, "Back in Shandong, the first time the three of us saw Dou Li, wasn't there a water robber's cave outside?"

I glanced at the fat man, and the fat man still had an expression of "recalling the past, the years are thick".

I couldn't help hitting him, so I said: "I'm getting older, and my memory is not good. My brother and I walked through the water pirate cave. At that time, you seemed to have a jar on your head in the bucket, and you were not in the same shot."

The fat man seemed to have teeth sore for a while, and said, "It's obviously a movie of three people, but I can't have a name."

I was almost laughed at by him. Looking back on the scene at that time, I feel like a lifetime away.

The fat man may have been really affected by hallucinations, and he began to recall the past non-stop, and many pictures flashed in my mind.I looked at Poker Bottle, wondering if he still remembered these things.

The waterway seems to have no end, and the darkness in front of us also has no end. We have been wading in the water, and our lower body is a little numb.

There was the sound of running water and the fat man's stand-up comedy in my ears. It was very strange. I gradually felt drowsy. In the dimness, I saw many blue stars began to appear in front of my eyes.

These blue light spots were erratic, hanging in mid-air, and for a moment I thought I was seeing the starry sky outside.

However, the voice of Poker Bottle suddenly exploded behind my ears: "Go into the water!"

Before I could react, Poker Bottle pressed my head and pushed me into the water.The cold water in the river made my consciousness clearer. Almost at the same time, when I saw the flashlight flashing by in the water, a white bone also flashed in front of my eyes.
