[Tomb Raiders Notes] The date has not been changed

Chapter 166

I carried the oil bottle on my back and walked all the way down the tunnel entrance.

At this time, I was already extremely weak, and it was difficult for Poyouping to walk independently, so I had no way to bring more equipment.

I put the purple jade box close to my body, a machete was tied to my calf, and the Poker Oil Bottle was carried on my back.

We will have a small emergency pack in our backpacks, which contains a little cold firework, short daggers, ropes and other common equipment.This small emergency kit is also strapped around my waist.

If there is really something in the tunnel, it can only be said to be fate.

Step by step, I became more and more calm.

The slope of the tunnel is extremely steep, which is almost my current limit.Fortunately, when I felt my legs tremble, there was a flat ground in front of me.

Under the illumination of the headlights, I saw that it was a relatively spacious empty room. In the center of the room was a five-meter-square stone pool surrounded by a stone wall, which seemed to be used as an isolation zone. .

However, both the stone pool and the isolation road outside the pool are very dry and empty.

It's strange that this thing appeared in the ancient tomb. Could it be an altar?

But there is no reason for the altar to be in such a strange shape.

So what is this stone pond for?

In order to get the exact news, I looked up and down, and then, I saw a plaque on the upper right of the pool, with three large characters inscribed:

Huaqing Pool.

The meaning of these three words is obvious, that is to say, this stone pool is a bathing pool.

However, there is a bath in the ancient tomb, isn't it a bit exaggerated?

Could it be that this is the place where the little brother can be detoxified and let him take a bath in the water?

In fact, it is not impossible to say so, but I still feel that it is not reliable, but now it seems that there is no option B.

Looking around, in this closed tomb, I didn't find any new exit other than the way I came from. Although this must be because my knowledge of organ information is not enough, it also means that there must be someone in this room. some special effects.

"Brother." I called out tentatively, "There is indeed a dark room in this place, but inside this dark room is an empty bathing pool, what should I do? Do you know how to cure your poison?"

As for Poker Bottle, after I called it two or three times, it gave me an unbelievable response.

"It's up to you to judge," he said.

Damn, let me make a decision?

It's not that I can't make decisions, but it's really a new experience to make decisions in a fight in front of my brother.

And I dare not.

Because it is about the life of Poker Bottle.

But Poker-Face really looks very weak now, and needs to keep his eyes closed and doze off to maintain his strength. I even feel guilty about asking him to talk, let alone let him study the current situation.

However, if you entrust this matter to me...

If it's someone else's, maybe I can handle it well, but this is my brother's life.

I don't feel like I can handle the burden.

At this time, Poker-Face seemed to know what I was thinking, struggled and said again: "I believe in you."

……

have to.

With my little brother’s words, let alone a bathing pool, I would jump off a cliff as well.

I first placed my little brother on the edge of the pool, tightened the splint on my body, held the short knife tied to my leg in my hand, and then walked down the "Huaqing Pool" with light clothes.

The floor of the pool is made of porcelain, as are the edges of the pool, just like the current swimming pool, but much more elegant in terms of texture.The whole pool looks like a complete porcelain plate, which is of course impossible to fire manually. It should be that some ingenious techniques were used to smooth the gaps between the tiles during the pool splicing process.

Is this for aesthetics, or for some other purpose, I'm not sure.

On the outside of the pool is a two-meter-wide isolation zone made of bluestone.It is also possible that this isolation zone is not the purpose I imagined, but it is together with this porcelain pool. There is no way to confirm this matter.

So is this "Huaqing Pool" the altar we are looking for?Can the little brother detoxify here?

I don't think I'll have a second chance to try it now either.

Since the little brother has seen the map and said that this room is likely to have what we need, and this Huaqing Pool does not look normal, then it is him.

I started researching how to "start" it.

In the due north direction of the pool, I discovered a small mystery.

There are faint cracks on the wall of the pool here. At first I thought it was because of the cracking of the porcelain plate caused by too long time, but then I found that these cracks are arranged in the shape of a eight-diagram diagram, so it must be intentional. It's over.

So what does this gossip map show?

I reached out and groped for the lines of the gossip, trying to find something out of it, but I'm not a little brother after all, I knew it after two seconds of touching, so I wouldn't get any results.

After thinking about it, I took out the spare flashlight and pointed it at the lines of the gossip.

The first hexagram is Qian hexagram. When the flashlight shines on it, I can't see any difference except my face reflected on the white porcelain. But I also know that this matter cannot be so simple, so I put the flashlight on it closer.In this way, I finally discovered the mystery.

Each hexagram in the Eight Diagrams of the Book of Changes is composed of three lines.The hexagram I'm looking at is the Zhen hexagram, and the number of lines is two yin and one yang.There is nothing wrong with the two yin lines, but the yang line, when I illuminated it with a flashlight, I found that it was transparent.

This means that this yang line is actually a crack, and I looked at the other hexagrams, and without exception, there is a crack on a certain line, that is to say, there are eight cracks in total.

What can such a thin crack do?I had the answer almost instantly.

In the amethyst box, there are exactly eight crystal chips, each of which is as thin as paper.

It's another gossip question. Fortunately, I already have some knowledge about agency news, and the marks on these crystal chips are also relatively obvious.

I quickly aligned the position of each crystal, and after checking again, I inserted the crystal into the crack.

Soon, the pool changed.

Under the gossip pattern, faint black patterns began to emerge, like a mural. At this time, I almost understood that the reason why the porcelain pool was smoothed into a porcelain plate was to hide this mural. .

In the mural, there is a snake and a fish intertwined like a pattern of Tai Chi, and then, the fish in the "Yang" position is holding the hole in the middle of the snake in the "Yin" position.And that hole is not a simple hole, but a small black spot with a very unique painting method.

Snakes, black spots, I can name these two things correctly, and I should say black snakes and Gu worms.

So fish, is the key to unraveling Gu?

The black snakes and Gu worms that live near the water, together with the fish, will indeed form a perfect triangle.

So where are the fish?

Thinking of this, I glanced into the middle of the pool.

Only then did I realize that at some point, a huge totem appeared on the ground. The totem looked like a snake or a snake, or a fish or a fish. The pattern was about the width of a palm.

Moreover, those patterns are slowly cracking, and clear water gushes out from the cracks.
