Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 371 The Mansion "Attacked"

Several artifacts chattered for a long time, and of course there was a "gurgling" one, which made Xiao Ran's head hurt from the noise.In the end, he impatiently picked out his ears, and said in a low voice: "Shut up!"

After hearing the words, the artifacts finally calmed down for a while, except for the "gurgling" sound in the cabinet.

Xiao Ran asked patiently: "So, the change in my personality during this period is really thanks to you guys? If this continues, will I go crazy?"

After a long while, Yao Jiugui muttered: "Yes...and no. In less than a year, you have experienced things that no one else has experienced in a lifetime. You are so close one by one, it makes everyone feel angry. Great change, this is the change resulting from the accumulation of experience. It is impossible for me to influence you, but it will definitely affect you to some extent. You see that you are no worse than that fat man when you are poor-mouthed, and you will not let that fool Bayi, people have influence on you, not to mention we are not ordinary things..."

"It's a piece of nonsense, if you say it, it means you didn't say it, but it does have an impact?" Xiao Ran said.

Guan Shandao opened his mouth and said: "All of them are like stuffed cotton in their mouths. I will say it directly, it will definitely have an impact. We keep making blood sacrifices for you, just to inspire you with supernatural powers. What I think is what you think, and what I read is what you do. In the end, robots and humans will become one, and fellow practitioners will coexist, otherwise what would we use so much ability to show you? You are a businessman, don’t you understand mutual benefit and co-profit?”

Guan Shandao was at a loss for words when he said something, but when he looked back, he accidentally sucked his blood from the very beginning, and helped him practice and wash his marrow again and again. It is very clear that after going through many things during this period of time, he habitually regards himself as the master of the artifact, feels that he can be the master, and ignores the possibility of being influenced by them.

Perhaps from the very beginning today, he didn't place himself in the right position. For these artifacts whose experience far exceeds his own, he is a mobile shelf, providing them with a short-term foothold for the time when they can almost live as long as the world.

If you want to enjoy the abilities they bring, you will naturally have to pay a certain price. He should understand this truth...

"You know what! You all took advantage of the fire to rob, or took advantage of my unpreparedness. What kind of mutual benefit is this called?!"

At this time, Xiao Ran must not give in, otherwise these artifacts will become more unscrupulous in the future, and it is still necessary to determine the upper and lower positions, so as not to let them take advantage of it too much.

At this time, Yin Yang Jing said: "What the good man said is, you two are a robber and a thug, neither of you is better than the other..."

"You're not much better! I usually treat you well, so why do you still treat me like a fool? Taking advantage of my inattention to affect my mind, this is the world is gray, black and white, yin and yang have to help each other, Why do I have to distinguish between black and white? If I don’t do it myself, you do it by force, are you cultivating Taoism or cultivating demons?!”

Yin Yang mirror was stunned for a while, and suddenly enlightened: "What the good man said is absolutely true! Good and evil are one, and the anode is close to yin! So it is, so it is! It's a mistake of the poor!"

"Doggie..."

"A sycophant..."

Yin Yang Jing's words drew ridicule from Yau Jiu Kuo and Guan Shan Dao, but they couldn't say anything else.

Seeing that they were still silent, Xiao Ran sighed: "Let's let go of the little ones from the past, no matter what, I took you to many places, so that you don't have to rot in the caves of the barren graves. Turning evil into good luck, I have also developed a lot of skills. As long as you don’t keep counting against me in the future, we can still fight side by side as before. But..."

Xiao Ran looked at the note in his hand, it was the address left to him by his second uncle.

"But you still want to figure out in your heart, how can we really benefit each other, how can we not influence you, right? Hey... To be honest, some things are out of our control, like gold, jade, pearls and stones that have been worn for a long time. There is aura, you have led us for a long time, we have no intention of harming you, there will still be some unexpected changes, there is really no way to do this." Yi Jiukuo said.

Xiao Ran stood up, nodded and said: "For my own good and yours' good, let's go there. I guess there should be a way for us to live in harmony in this place."

As he was about to leave, the "gurgling" sound in the cabinet became louder.Xiao Ran was puzzled, and opened the cabinet, only to see the soul-locking pearl in Xu Er's mouth flickering and flickering.So he raised Xu Er's head and opened his mouth slightly, revealing the beads inside.

"Suozi, just stay here and watch Xu Er, we..."

Locking Soul Ding Lingzhu interrupted him and said: "Bayan! This Balangzi's soul has already been stabilized, you just need to prop up his neck, don't drown him, I can go with you...don't stop Leave me alone."

What he said made Xiao Ran feel a little embarrassed. After all, among these artifacts, the soul-locking orb has been in the crypt for the longest time. After they met, they were indeed helping him, and even saved Xu Eryi's life. He couldn't bear to be fierce. Fierce Lock Soul Bead.

He reached down, lifted Xu Er's neck, and stuffed a cushion under it.After the mat was soaked in the wine-red liquid, it sank to the bottom of the cabinet, the height was just enough for Xu Er's face to be exposed.

Xiao Ran pulled out the soul-locking pearl from Xu Er's mouth, Xu Er suddenly took a long breath as if snoring, and then exhaled heavily.For a moment, Xiao Ran thought that Xu Er was about to wake up.

After this heavy inhalation and exhalation, Xu Er still closed his eyes and said nothing, but his chest slowly rose and fell.Xiao Ran stretched out his hand to Xu Er's mouth and nose, weak air kept flowing in front of his fingers.

"Suozi! You have worked so hard! It's not like these few pieces of material, which not only hurt me, but also want that. Tell me, what do you want?" Xiao Ran said happily.

Soul-locking Lingzhu seemed a little embarrassed, and said: "Honorable Bayan, I am by your side, and I have always been nourished by your noble soul. But please rest assured, I will not hurt your life, just you When the soul is weak, it is easier to be invaded by evil spirits, such as having nightmares..."

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and almost threw the Soul Locking Pearl back into the cabinet.

"Since I have you, every time I have those real nightmares, I'm scared to death, it's all because of you?! His grandma doesn't have a single good thing!" Xiao Ran scolded.

As for the other three artifacts, they couldn't hold back their laughter at this time.

Xiao Ran stopped talking nonsense, packed a few artifacts that should be installed, stuffed the Guanshan knife into the cotton coat, and hurriedly drove to the address that the second uncle said.

He is familiar with the large area and streets mentioned in the second uncle's address. It is close to the city center and near the imperial city. It seems that the owner of this address is an old Zhaojing man. At least this house existed three generations ago.

It's just that those alleys are a little old and narrow, so he can only find a place to park the car early, and walk forward all the way.

After turning a few corners, the street suddenly opened up.In front of him, it turned out to be an old-fashioned three-story bungalow, located in the courtyard behind the iron gate.The iron gate is slightly closed. Behind the gate is a spacious yard. A gravel road leading to the gate of the bungalow is hidden in the bushes of the lawns on both sides. There are also some staggered pomegranate trees and apple trees lined up in the yard like military guards. .

Such bungalows and courtyards should have been called mansions in the past.

Outside the iron gate, a few people wrapped in overcoats and selling dried fruits and groceries squatted against the wall to set up a stall, and two or three people were sweeping the road with brooms, they should be cleaners.

Xiao Ran carefully looked at the address in his hand, and then at the number plate on the stone wall next to the door. After confirming that this was the right place, he wanted to push the door in.

He suddenly felt a weak air flow, and quickly retracted his hand. The next second, a walnut exploded where his hand stopped before.

He vigilantly turned his head to look at the small vendor selling dried fruit next to him, only to see that person looking at him in the same way, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

The dried fruit seller stood up with a hoarse and low voice.He was wearing a blue cotton overcoat that was common in this era, and a cotton hat of the same color. The earflaps and woolen scarf that hung down covered his entire face, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

Those eyes showed the brilliance of Lian Jiazi, and even had the vigilance and murderous look not inferior to Hu Bayi. It is hard to guarantee that few lives are in his hands.

Xiao Ran turned his head to look at the people around him again, some of those people were still doing their work on their own, and some of them quickly looked away as soon as they made eye contact with him.

Xiao Ran was amazed in his heart, so it turned out that these small vendors, cleaners, and idlers squatting and smoking were actually the guards at the gate.

"Ask you something..."

The dried fruit dealer's voice had a hint of warning, Xiao Ran turned his head, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "The sky worships the immortal family."

The man looked him up and down, said: "Wait..." Then he turned around and opened the door to go in.But before he entered the door, he turned his head and said to Li Ran: "I didn't call you, don't push the door again, this time it's me, next time it might be him."

Xiao Ran looked to the side in the direction he pointed, there was also a tightly wrapped vendor squatting there with his eyes closed, but in front of him were nails, screwdrivers, hammers and other tools.

Not long after, the dried fruit vendor came out from the iron gate and said, "Go in, follow the road, don't run around..."

After speaking, he squatted back to the original place, as if nothing had happened just now.Xiao Ran opened the iron gate and entered the courtyard, walking along the winding gravel road.

This road does not lead straight to the door, but many bends are designed.On the lawn at each corner, some half-person-high shrubs are planted, forming a natural screen wall, covering the door of the bungalow, and the whole view of the bungalow cannot be seen outside the iron gate.

Xiao Ran instinctively felt that behind these bushes, one or two knives and axes could be hidden, and once he found out that someone was plotting wrongdoing, he could rush out and tear the other party's body into pieces.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt the hairs on my back instinctively stand on end.Xiao Ran had already turned around the last bend, and saw the exquisite lacquered wooden door of the bungalow.

But at this moment, he felt another breeze flowing behind him, and hurriedly turned around and raised his hand. With a "snap", a round object was held by him.

He spread his hand, and it turned out to be an acorn in his hand.He looked up and looked ahead, just at this time a child fell out of the bushes, holding a slingshot in his hand.

Seeing the slingshot, Xiao Ran suddenly thought of Xu Er.He walked over gently, helped the child up, and saw that it was a little boy who was only three or four years old, looking at him with a slight fear in his innocence.

Xiao Ran smiled and patted the weeds and dirt off the child's body, and asked gently: "What's your name? Why did you sneak attack me?"

A layer of tears welled up in the little boy's eyes, and he muttered, "I...I didn't...My name is Wu..."

Before he could finish speaking, a stern female voice suddenly came from behind, calling softly: "Yangyang! You're being naughty again, aren't you? Come out!"

There was a rustle behind the bushes, and then another little boy of similar age came out, the difference was that this little boy had a sly smile on his face.

Xiao Ran turned his head to look at the source of the sound, only to see two women standing in front of the bungalow at some point.
