The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Fang Yun said.

Before Wu Xie and Fatty had walked ten steps with Fang Yun, they saw several black silhouettes in the distance.

"What is that black outline?"

Wu Xie quickly asked.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Let's just walk closer and take a look."

"I can't help it," the fat man said helplessly.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized what the black outline actually was.

It turned out to be four stone monkeys, each more than half a meter tall, squatting on the stone seat, facing four directions.

Wu Xie looked closely at the stone monkey, which seemed to be praying for something.

At this moment, Wu Xie remembered that there were some records in the notes left by his grandfather.

Those four stone monkeys are called the Sea-Stabilizing Monkeys. The purpose of these Sea-Stabilizing Monkeys is usually to sink to the bottom of a pond and be used to ward off evil spirits.

It's perfectly normal for something like this to appear in this underwater tomb.

Wu Xie finally felt relieved and boldly took a few more steps.

In the middle of these four stones, a stone tablet about 1.2 meters tall was discovered.

This stone tablet was made of Daqinggang stone and is very old; only this type of stone could preserve the recorded events.

"How is Zhang Qi? Does he seem to remember anything?"

Fang Yun asked.

Zhang Qi pointed to a line of text engraved on the stone tablet in front of him.

"Wu Xie, you're an expert in this area. Tell me quickly what's written on this stone tablet?"

The fat man asked anxiously, looking very impatient.

"These few sentences are not difficult to translate. I will just give you a general idea of ​​what they mean. It means that the tomb owner built a heavenly palace, and the door to the heavenly palace is inside this stone tablet. The way to get in is neither difficult nor easy. It all depends on fate. If you are destined to be with this stone tablet, you can naturally go in and ascend to heaven. If you are not destined, this is where it ends."

Wu Xie said.

"Fatty, I feel like you're bullying me. I don't know many characters. If there's a door to this huge stone tablet, I'll die right here."

The fat man's tone was full of disdain and doubt.

“I think you fatso have been tomb raiding since you were born, and you haven’t learned a thing or two. There’s clearly something hidden in your words, they sound like Zen sayings.”

“Zen sayings can be interpreted in 1000 ways by 1000 people. Perhaps it doesn’t mean there’s a door inside the stone tablet, but rather that there’s some hidden information on the stone tablet that only those who understand it can decipher.”

Wu Xie continued.

"I think you're just trying to fool me. What's on this stone tablet? I can't see a single thing on it!"

"I can't believe it," the fat man said impatiently.

Wu Xie saw that Fatty was squatting there, so he quickly ran over and looked at the stone tablet in the direction Fatty was looking.

The front of the stone tablet looked as if it had been polished by hand, and the polishing was very meticulous.

To what extent would it be so detailed? It's like striking a stone so hard that it can be used as a mirror to reflect a person's face.

"No matter how you look at it, this stone tablet looks like a mirror; there isn't a single word on it. Why is it said that only those with a special connection can open it?"

Wu Xie muttered to himself.

"Didn't I tell you that this stone tablet could only be opened for you if you were destined to? It seems your time hasn't come yet, so you can't enter the door this stone tablet speaks of."

Chapter 279 The Secret from Twenty Years Ago!

"I don't care about all that stuff. I don't care at all whether this door is meant for me or not, but this artifact is definitely meant for me, Fatty."

"That's what the fat man said excitedly."

"You'd better not mess around there. Fang Yun already told us when we came down that we shouldn't touch anything in here. Besides, you've got a lot of bad luck. You know how bad things always get when you're alone. If you keep talking like that, maybe those two will build a tomb for you in this underwater tomb too."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

At this moment, the fat man's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten shit.

The fat man recalled that when he used to raid tombs, no one would point fingers at him.

However, faced with those two completely unknown individuals, the fat man decided it was best to behave himself.

Zhang Qi, that fat man, was already hard to figure out, let alone the mysterious and unpredictable Fang Yun.

This made the fat man feel a chill down his back.

"Alright, alright, I was just saying it casually, and you're taking it seriously."

The fat man said somewhat unwillingly.

"Zhang Qi, did you find something else here? You look terrible, are you short of breath?"

Wu Xie quickly asked.

Zhang Qi stared blankly at the stone tablet as if he had lost his soul.

She was lost in thought and simply ignored Wu Xie.

"Wu Xie, come here quickly, look at this thing, isn't it a diving mask?"

"The fat man shouted anxiously."

Seeing that Zhang Qi didn't want to talk to him, Wu Xie figured that since Fang Yun was next to Zhang Qi, there shouldn't be any major problems.

So he hurriedly ran towards the fat man, who was holding a flashlight, which shone brightly on the bottom of the water.

Wu Xie went over for a closer look and found that it really was a diving mask.

"My third uncle and his group came here a while ago. They didn't have any diving equipment when they left, so they probably drifted here. Can you look around and see if there are any oxygen tanks or anything like that?"

Wu Xie said.

"Didn't you just tell me not to touch anything? Now you're ordering me to find an oxygen tank. You're really something, Wu Xie."

The fat man said with dissatisfaction.

"Isn't the situation different? Anyway, just don't think about tomb raiding. As long as you think about tomb raiding, you might trigger some traps and attract all sorts of trouble."

Wu Xie quickly replied.

The fat man looked utterly helpless and could only search around.

Before long, the fat man found several oxygen cylinders in several puddles nearby.

The fat man picked them up and tried them out, only to find that the oxygen cylinders were just scrap metal and completely unusable.

"I never expected that all that's down there is just a bunch of junk. It's such a waste of my time. We ran down from such a high place only to be disappointed. If you ask me, we should hurry up and climb back up and get out of here as soon as possible."

The fat man muttered curses.

Wu Xie glanced at the puddles on the ground and agreed that Fatty was right; it was time to leave.

Wu Xie turned to look at Zhang Qi's location and found that Zhang Qi was not there. Only Fang Yun was standing in front of the stone tablet.

Just as Wu Xie was about to ask something, Fang Yun pointed in a direction, and Wu Xie looked in the direction Fang Yun was pointing.

However, the mist below was so thick that Wu Xie could only vaguely see a figure sitting in the corner.

Wu Xie quickly called Fatty over and saw Zhang Qi sitting alone in a corner, staring blankly ahead.

Wu Xie was quite observant, and the moment he glanced at Zhang Qi's gaze, he sensed something was amiss.

Zhang Qi's gaze used to be cold and very sharp.

Zhang Qi now looks like he has lost the light in his eyes.

He slumped there, completely different from before, as if he were a different person.

"I remember what happened 20 years ago..."

Zhang Qi's voice was very soft.

Even if Wu Xie were right next to him, it would be difficult for him to hear clearly what Zhang Qi had just said.

Zhang Qi's tone was very calm, without a trace of emotion.

It's as if someone else is narrating this story.

Fang Yun and the others gradually saw a corner of this huge mystery, but only based on what Zhang Qi said.

They had no idea about Zhang Qi's background, nor could they tell what kind of person he was.

· ·········Request flowers· ···

For now, we can only refer to Zhang Qi as a quiet and reserved little boy!

This was an ancient tomb located in the sea, where the howling wind outside could not be heard. However, everyone could still feel the suffocating sensation of an approaching storm.

……

Zhang Qi sat quietly in a corner of the side room.

The surrounding area was filled with blue and white porcelain.

These blue and white porcelain pieces held absolutely no interest for Zhang Qi.
