Chapter 15: It's All About the Artifact
Encountering the attack of a giant spider, Wei Qing and the two moved forward cautiously, Wei Qing took a flashlight on the top of his head from time to time, for fear that another poisonous spider would appear and catch them off guard. All kinds of monsters in this submarine tomb can kill people, and if you are not careful, I am afraid that you will not know how you died in the blink of an eye.
It's just that in the panic just now, they have lost their direction, and they don't know where the road they are taking at this time will lead, so they can only grope their way towards the unknown little by little.
"Bang-"
A gunshot rang out, echoing through the silent tomb.
The voice is coming from the front!
"Let's go, let's go over and have a look!" Wei Qing clenched his pistol and dagger and quickly ran over with the scorpion.
Obviously, it was at the bottom of the sea, and the temperature should be extremely low, but at this time, the deeper he went into the Yongdao, the more stuffy Wei Qing felt. There was a faint aroma in the air, which smelled good, but it made people feel tightness in the chest and shortness of breath, and a little suffocating.
It only took about a cup of tea time, Wei Qing and the scorpion had already run to the end of the road, and a huge sealing stone stood in front of the two. This sealing stone is a whole boulder polished, painted with a closed human eye, this painting technique is delicate and delicate, in one go, lifelike, even the eyelashes on the eyes can be seen very clearly.
Wei Qing took a closer look and confirmed that there was nothing special about the painting, but what was the purpose of this tomb owner painting a closed human eye on the sealed stone? Is there something in the tomb chamber behind the sealed stone to warn the tomb robbers? But judging from all the mechanism monsters they had encountered before, this tomb owner buried here was eager to catch all the tomb robbers, so that there would not be the kind reminder to them.
Wei Qing was puzzled by this painting, but as she was thinking about it, she noticed a small pool of blood oozing from the gap under the sealed stone!
She turned her head to look at the scorpion, who was also frowning, and it was clear that he had already found the pool of blood.
"Let's go in and have a look. "Whether it's a human or a monster inside, whether it's Long Zheng and Feng Xiao or Ajia's group, you have to go in and have a look to know.
When the scorpion exerted its strength and pushed away the sealing stone, he heard another "bang-" sound inside, and a bullet rushed towards Wei Qing with a strong wind!
Wei Qing immediately felt a slight pain in her shoulder, it should have been cut by the air flow carried by the bullet! Fortunately, this bullet missed a little, but it narrowly passed by, otherwise she would have died at this moment!
"Are you alright?" asked the scorpion.
Wei Qing shook his head, it was just a bruise. However, who is this who put the cold gun in this tomb? If it is Long Zheng and them, she will definitely take them responsible!
When Wei Qing and the scorpion saw the scene in the tomb, they were both stunned!
The eyes were full of corpses on the ground, and the blood on the ground was still slowly gathering, and they were lying quietly in a pool of blood, a dead silence. In the center of the burial chamber is a huge sarcophagus, the coffin board of the sarcophagus has been pried open, and inside is gray autopsy water, and it is impossible to see if there are other things such as zongzi.
Strange, this tomb is full of corpses, who fired the bullet just now? Could it be the ghost of these people? The scorpion saw Wei Qing's face becoming more and more pale, and saw her standing at the door of the tomb and stopped, he thought about it for a long time, and seemed to finally guess the reason.
He pointed to a corpse facing them and said, "Look at the corpse, the gun in his hand is facing us, and the hand holding the gun is just on the edge of the sarcophagus, both from the angle and from the height, right on your shoulder. There is no need to say the rest of the words, Wei Qing already understands the principle of this, and the point is just right.
Wei Qing was glad that the bullet didn't hit her again, otherwise, she tried so hard to live, but in the end she was hit by an inexplicable bullet, it was really a loss to die.
The scorpion walked into the burial chamber, crouched down and carefully rummaged over the corpses on the ground: "They should be the people in the mobile phone video, and," he looked at the mark embroidered on the corpse's chest again: "They are Brahma Fire!"
Wei Qing was even more shocked, she hurriedly stepped forward, and sure enough, there was a flame mark embroidered on the left chest of the corpse! This group of people is really everywhere, wait, the last time she was in the Shennongjia Ancient Tomb, she also encountered tattoos and Fanhuo respectively, from the hinterland of the mainland to the bottom of the overseas ice field, two incompatible tomb robbery organizations, met in the same ancient tomb several times, is this a coincidence? Unlikely, unless they have a clear goal, could it be that they are looking for the same thing?
Wei Qing stood up and asked with a serious face, "What are you looking for?"
The scorpion looked up at her in surprise, he had expected her to ask, but he didn't expect her to ask so directly.
Seeing this, Wei Qing added: "Although I am a member of the Wei family, I have now been pulled to a ship by you, so I am born and died, fighting for my life, can't I have the right to know?"
"Ancient artifact. We've been fighting with Brahma Huo a few times, both openly and secretly, because we're all looking for the same thing, an ancient artifact. The scorpion also stood up and said seriously to Wei Qing. She'll know sooner or later, and it doesn't hurt to tell her now.
"You're crazy, how can that kind of legendary thing really exist?" Wei Qing said subconsciously with wide eyes.
"You know it well in your own heart, because you have one of them. The scorpion glanced at the bracelet on Wei Qing's wrist.
Wei Qing was stunned, and even forgot to breathe at that moment, yes, she should have known, but she forgot. She always subconsciously tells herself that she is an ordinary small owner of a Jiangnan teahouse, and she forgets that this safe and ordinary identity depends entirely on the bracelet on her left wrist!
The scene before Huang Laoxi's death is still vivid, he once said before his death that this bracelet is "living and dead, flesh and bones", it is because of this bracelet that she was kidnapped by a mysterious person and locked up in a small black room without seeing the light of day.
And at this time, this matter was mentioned by the scorpion again, since the scorpions knew it, then Long Zheng must also know, it turned out that they all knew! Wei Qing remembered that on the boat at that time, while she was asleep in a daze, Long Zheng quietly wanted to take off her bracelet, and she couldn't help but shudder. Their purpose has always been clear, but the methods used are different, one group kidnaps her, while another group pretends to approach her!
They deceived her trust and feelings like this for a bracelet?
