314. Tomb Raider Rising enters the Temple
『【(( 1~
Trinity is now ahead of the curve, will there be a problem?
No, no, no, no problem at all. If there is a mechanism in the ancient tomb, let those people of the Holy Trinity go and fill it with their lives, and Nan Xiao doesn't care about this at all. Anyway, if the Holy Source is obtained by the Holy Trinity, it will be easier to grab it directly.
At the same time, Laura is efficient. She quickly solves the puzzle of the mural on the wall and finds a disguised exit. "This is it," she said, pulling out her trekking axe and expertly smashing the wall, "the people sealed it off." There must be something behind this...... There's a secret passage. ”
Behind the wall is a beautiful statue of Jesus coming out of Egypt. The lines are delicate and the composition is gorgeous, and it must be from the hand of a famous artist. Pigments are also a feature. After all these years, even the wrinkles on Jesus' face are vivid. It's a precious artifact. For more than a thousand years, it has been safely preserved until now.
A member of the Holy Trinity descended to the top of the mountain and looked around with binoculars. Suddenly, he pointed to the statue of Jesus coming out of Egypt and said, "Is there something strange over there, and suddenly a hole appeared in Jesus' face?" ”
First there was a hole in Jesus' face, then a hole in his waist, and the crack grew rapidly, spreading like a spider's web. With a click, the whole wall cracked, and the image of Jesus became a piece of the ground, revealing a hole hidden behind it.
The ancient Byzantine religious frescoes, whose value is difficult to measure, were hammered to pieces.
Laura, the destroyer of cultural relics, lives up to her name.
However, Trinity's focus does not seem to be on the preservation of cultural relics. They care more about the woman who came out of the hole.
Anna's younger brother Konstantin got off the helicopter. Following the direction his subordinates pointed, he held up his binoculars and looked at them for a moment. "It's Laura," he said, "and the woman isn't slow." Without air support, it's only a little slower than us. ”
At this moment, Laura stepped out of the cave and couldn't help but exclaim.
Nan Xiao was the second to walk out of the cave. Even though he was well-informed, he couldn't help but be caught in the sight of the beautiful scenery in front of him.
In front of it is a stately temple with a strong Byzantine theological architectural style. The ornate vaults and columns were dug out of the mountains entirely. It's been hollowed out by an entire mountain. In this narrow valley, without any construction machinery, how on earth did they complete such a huge and magnificent project?
It's so beautiful, the ruins of more than a thousand years ago are still masterpieces.
A hidden valley full of greenery. The spring water flows down the hill and around the temple, where it converges into a pool in the small square in front of the temple. Layers of pools are poured downwards and eventually into a waterfall that flows into an underground river.
It's just a mountain away, but it feels cool and comfortable, which is completely different from the hot and dry climate of the Gobi Desert outside. It's really hard to believe if you don't see it with your own eyes. Just a few hundred meters away, the climate is so different.
Laura sighed, "It's so beautiful...... If only Dad could see it. ”
Nan Xiao encouraged: "He will definitely be pleased with your efforts." ”
The temple was discovered, and how to enter the temple was a big problem.
Originally, the road was paved with hard-burned adobe bricks in the valley. After a thousand years of weathering, the wall tiles have become very unstrong. When you touch it, it turns into powder and keeps falling down.
Laura is also a celebrity who goes wherever she goes, and if she walks on that weathered brick road, it will definitely collapse.
Fortunately, Nan Xiao was prepared and arranged for mercenaries to bring a large number of paving tools.
At the sound of the order, the mercenaries immediately began to get busy. They fired hooks from an ancient bed-like mechanism, and stainless steel bolts with jet-boosting engines plunged headlong into the opposite rock wall, where they were tightly anchored to the solid stone by means of expansion screws. And then it's fastened here, and it's a very sturdy zipline.
Nan Xiao handed a climbing artifact to Laura and introduced: "With this gear device with a motor, it will be easier to cross. ”
Well, it feels great to have rescued another Byzantine artifact from Laura.
In fact, the rescue of cultural relics is still secondary. The point is that if she tramples all the roads, no one else will be able to walk. Really go your own way, so that others have no way to go. Laura's trait of going where to go is really too domineering.
After successfully reaching the main entrance of the temple, the pathfinder returned to report that the main entrance was blocked.
Just look at the marks of knives and axes on the walls. There must have been a terrible battle here. As you can imagine, the Trinity continued to hunt down the Prophet and his followers, and eventually, they discovered the hidden oasis and launched an attack. The followers of the Prophet guarded the temple and blocked the door from the inside. Looking through the rotten door panels, it was full of stones and quicksand.
"Look around, there must be other ways to enter the temple," Nan Xiao once again offered his ability to pay out money, "There are 10,000 dollars here, whoever comes back first to report will have the money." ”
In the face of the green votes, the mercenaries' morale was immediately high. They split up, jumping up and down, groping around.
Nan Xiao was not in a hurry at all, and took Laura to the waterfall to see the scenery.
Laura was a little unaccustomed to losing her work to someone else like this, and always looked towards the temple, as if she wanted to go back and dig it out right away.
Nan Xiao comforted her: "Don't worry. There was a saying in ancient times that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. There are a lot of them, and it will only be more efficient to find this kind of secret channel, so why should you worry about them. ”
Laura is still worried: "They may be in danger. ”
"It's their job."
It's really in danger. A mercenary who climbed on the windowsill slipped and fell from the second floor and died, and his accomplice who went up to the second floor with him was safe and sound.
…… Was it really a fall to death?
When inspecting the scene, Nan Xiao obviously smelled blood. There was even a splattery of blood near that narrow secret entrance. Obviously, it was this lucky guy who first discovered the secret passage and was then hacked by his two teammates.
Nan Xiao remained silent, pretending not to know about this, and first saw if the channel could be used.
It was a very narrow passageway, probably only for a small person squeezing sideways. It was very dark inside, completely unaware of what was waiting.
Nan Xiao said: "The two who discovered the secret path just now. You have so much courage to open the way. ”
The two were stunned: "What? Let's go in the first row? We don't have any experience in caving......" They looked at Laura aggrievedly, as if they wanted her to top it.
Laura was very soft-hearted and wanted to take this job for them. However, Nan Xiao didn't give them a chance. "If you get paid, you have to work, that's the rule of mercenaries," he reminded, "you can't even forget what your boss said, do you?" ”
