Tomb Raider: Beginning Wu Xie was badly tricked

Looking at the wall-to-wall reliefs, the fat man spoke: "Wu Xie, this is your specialty!"

Wu Xie said nothing. He took a few steps forward, waved away the vines, and began to examine the reliefs.

"Look here, what this relief says is that the ancestors here worshiped poisonous snakes with combs, which should be pheasant necks. They poured the pheasant necks into a tower, and then many people knelt around them, and A priest is conducting the ceremony."

"What is there to worship in this damn place?" The fat man looked at the rainforest in confusion.

"It is not unusual to regard snakes as totems. Many people worship snakes." Wu Xie explained.

"Look at another picture, it looks like a war scene. Judging from the clothes of those people, they should be people from the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West. However, from the above image, it seems that the Queen Mother of the West will lose." Wu Xie started to explain another relief. .

"Then can you tell from the picture who is fighting the Western Queen Mother Kingdom?" The fat man was curious.

"I can't tell, but looking at the image above, the other party should be a very powerful civilized group."

"Look at the picture here again. Queen Mother Xi poured something into the tower, and then those snakes came out and fought the enemy in darkness."

"I bet this pheasant neck is still a warrior from the Queen Mother Palace of the West!" The fat man sighed with emotion.

Wu Xie walked to the other wall and continued to watch: "Not only that, look at the city structure diagram in this relief. The entire city is connected underneath. Those snakes can also swim around in the passages under the city."

"They are raised by humans. Once they encounter danger, they are lured out with something specific to kill the enemy."

"These are all designed defense methods. This pheasant's neck is poisonous and fast, and no one can guard against it."

The fat man followed Wu Xie as if listening to a story. Listen to him explain the stories on the relief pictures on the wall.

"Let's go to the little brother's place and have a look!" Fatty suggested. When he and Wu Xie turned to this wall just now, the little brother did not follow him, but moved to another wall.

Wu Xie and Fatty slowly walked to the wall where the little brother was: "This one looks quite harmonious. He should be a person of quite high status. He sat on an eight-horse carriage and came to the Kingdom of the Western Queen. ”

"This chariot looks like the style of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and there are rumors that King Zhou Mu once arrived in the motherland of the Western Queen to seek immortality. It seems that the person on the carriage must be King Mu of Zhou."

"Okay! Wu Xie, you are very capable!" The fat man patted Wu Xie on the shoulder and said with emotion.

"If you are interested in history, you can do it if you read more. In addition, if you do more business of rubbings, you will understand better."

At this time, the boy next to him could directly remove the vines and spider webs stuck to the wall, and the blocked reliefs were immediately exposed.

The fat man took a few steps back and jumped directly onto a stone slab as high as his knees: "I think there are more snakes than people. Isn't it scary?"

"What is carved here should be the kind of double-scaled python that is fighting with the pheasant neck here. It turns out that during the Queen Mother of the West, two kinds of snakes appeared here, so this kind of double-scaled python should be the natural enemy of the pheasant neck."

"It's mating." The little brother said suddenly.

"Mating? How exciting!" The fat man immediately jumped down from the stone slab.

"Mixed species mating? These are completely different types of snakes, and their sizes are so different. They are like a mosquito and an elephant. How do they mate?" The fat man was really curious and thought a little obscenely.

"Fat man, do you know Madam?" Wu Xie interrupted the fat man's sexual intercourse.

"I know! Aren't the madams you're talking about the mothers in ancient brothels..."

Wu Xie directly interrupted the fat man's unfinished words, lest he continue to speak and didn't know what he would say:

"Yes, the bustard is a kind of bird. In ancient times, people thought that this kind of bird had only female birds and no male birds. But this is not true. The reason is that because the male bird is several times larger than the female bird, people mistakenly thought that they were two birds. types of birds.”

The fat man had been a little embarrassed when he listened to Wu Xie's words, and then he spoke calmly: "Spring is here, everything revives, and it's the season for animals to reproduce."

When Wu Xie was explaining to the fat man what a madam was, the little brother seemed to notice something was wrong. Keep going to the wall to clear away those vines and cobwebs and keep watching.

When Wu Xie and others finished speaking, the younger brother said, "That's not right."

After hearing what the younger brother said, Wu Xie also looked at the exposed wall reliefs: "No, this thing is not a snake at all."

Then the three of them stared at the reliefs on the wall: "What on earth is this? It's so big, is it a dragon?"

"Look." The younger brother pointed at a relief sculpture for Wu Xie and the others to look at.

Wu Xie also immediately discovered the strangeness on the relief: "These little snakes are not wrapped around the double-scaled python at all, but are helping it, so the real ones mating are the double-scaled python and another one with the tree." As thick as a snake."

"It is indeed a social snake group. This thing should be what I guessed before - the snake mother." Wu Xie said directly.

"This relief is at least three to four thousand years old. If there really was a snake mother like the one you mentioned, it would have turned into a fossil long ago!" the fat man asked.

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

While they were watching the reliefs, a clay figurine tried to snatch their supplies from the injured Pan Zi.

Pan Zi was already injured and couldn't win the fight. In the process of snatching, his injuries were aggravated. He could only cover his injured shoulder and shout loudly: "Come on..."

Hearing the voice, the three people rushed over immediately: "Pan Zi, are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry about me, Xiao San Ye, go chase the clay man, he wants to steal our equipment." Pan Zi didn't care about the painful wound on his body.

Wu Xie looked at the back of the clay man running away, and then looked at the little brother who stood there without chasing, and suddenly understood something.

In order not to disappoint others' kindness, Wu Xie had to participate in it personally. Besides, it's better to have someone lead the way than to grope by yourself, and it saves time and effort.

So, Wu Xie took a deep look at the little brother, and then said to him: "I'll chase! You stay and take care of Pan Zi."

"Wait, I'll go with you." Fatty said, and followed Wu Xie to chase.

But the little brother just kept watching without any action, and it seemed that he didn't notice Wu Xie's eyes when he left.

So, one escaped and the other chased, running desperately on the rugged mountain road.

Pan Zi, who stayed behind, covered his injured shoulder, looked at the young man, and asked worriedly: "Young man, the third master went to chase the clay man, will it be dangerous?"

"No." The young man who knew the inside story uttered two words calmly.
