Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Just when Xiao Ran wanted to endure the pain and say something to the blind man, a strong tremor suddenly came from the top of the hall, rippled all the way to the hall where they were, and then continued downwards, leaving a roar that gradually deepened.

Hu Bayi and others finally stood firm. After the tremors stopped, they all looked at each other and towards Xiao Ran.

The black blind man did not continue the previous topic, but changed the subject and said: "You must know some things about me, such as I have lived for a long time, and my emotions and desires have long been meaningless to me.

"Life? Only after death can there be life. I can't see the end point, only the endless process, so I can only watch the flowers bloom and fade, watch the sunrise and sunset in this process, constantly looking for excitement, and when I am free, I owe some favors and pay back A little favor is worth experiencing the fireworks of the world.

"The process is life, taste the ups and downs in it. You are not like me, there are people who add these ingredients to your life. You people, you haven't lived for long, you jump out and talk about life, this is a waste Your short life..."

In fact, what a few people said before had gradually made Xiao Ran regain his confidence and hope.It's not about what they said, but just like Heixiazi said, there are so many people who support and care about him.Especially when he knew that he still had both parents, the fire of hope had already been completely ignited.

It's just that he didn't expect that Heixiazi, a person who didn't eat the fireworks of the world, would condescend to say so many down-to-earth words to him.Compared with the stories that his second uncle told him before and the black blind man that he personally knew, this was to the point of "collapse of character".

"You... you talk so much... you are really old..." Xiao Ran said with a bitter smile.

The black blind man scratched his head and said, "Your mother asked me to tell you. I'm really not good at this, and I even find it annoying. But are you willing to do it for these people, this world, and yourself?" Fight once?"

"I am willing... I am willing... but..." Xiao Ran looked at his severed hands and feet.

The black blind man smiled and said: "You said this yourself..."

After that, he whistled, and soon the sound of rustling footsteps and the panting of animals were heard everywhere, and the familiar smell of fishy fur also entered Xiao Ran's nostrils.

He raised his head, and sure enough he saw a few lights dancing in the darkness around him, and not long after, several fast-running deer appeared in his field of vision.Da Jinya and Liu Shengli were so frightened that they cried for father and mother, while Yingzi and the other two took up their guns and got into stance.

"These are... charlatans! Old Hu! That charlatan! There are so many of them!" the fat man shouted.

Hu Bayi said in a deep voice: "Don't move, these guys... don't seem to have any ill intentions..."

Xiao Ran saw an approving smile on the blind man's face, then he pulled out the black gold dagger and thrust it into the thick fungus at his feet.

The ground shook for a while, and then dozens of bright red coral-like tentacles burst out of the wall on both sides of Xiao Ran's body, and then they closed and pulled like big hands, wrapping Xiao Ran in them.

With his eyes covered in bright red, Xiao Ran suddenly found that the wounds all over his body no longer hurt, and there was even a sense of warmth accompanied by itchiness.This feeling was very familiar to him, it was the feeling he had in the past when wounds healed on their own.

Accompanying this was the gradual loss of consciousness, and the relaxation that came from the depths of his soul made his eyelids slowly become heavy.In this disarray, he heard the hazy conversation outside.

"……what happened……"

"... Blood Pagoda... Tai Sui Core... this world... breeds all things..."

There was a bright red light in front of him, and there seemed to be a figure floating in the air.Xiao Ran tried hard to distinguish and found that the figure was getting closer and closer until he was right in front of him.

It was the Witch King Anton. Although his face had only one outline and no ears, nose, or mouth could be seen, his black and white eyes were bright.

In the blink of an eye, Witch King Anton's face began to change.Father, mother, Hu Bayi, Fatty, Yingzi... Familiar faces kept switching in front of him, bringing him more and more peace of mind.

Suddenly, the surrounding light changed. It was no longer a red light, but a dazzling white light.He felt as if he was lying on a white bed, and the smell of medicine only found in hospitals poured into his nose.There were crowds of people all around, and some were shouting anxiously.

Suddenly another strong tremor hit his chest, and Xiao Ran woke up suddenly, as if falling from the clouds to the ground.He sat up suddenly and coughed violently.

"Brother Xiao!"

"manager!"

"Brother Xiao Ran!"

Calls rang in my ears, their voices full of surprise.After focusing his eyes, Xiao Ran saw that his hands and feet had been connected, and the wounds on his body had disappeared. His whole body was full of lightness and strength, but his energy was still a little slack, as if one of his feet was still in a dream.

The black blind man in front of him was taking some clothes, backpacks and other things from Xuan's mouth one after another and inspecting them. These were all the equipment that was thrown off the cliff by the second uncle before, or was taken down with Xiao Ran when he rolled down the cliff.

"Haha, have you taken the Huo family's antidote just now?" Hei Xiazi asked.

Xiao Ran nodded hesitantly: "Honglian Miaoxin Pills, you don't need to take them continuously. I just took an antidote just in case..."

"Well, it's a good thing you ate it, otherwise the Blood Pagoda wouldn't be able to save you. This is the Celestial Dial Needle... the Witch King's Seal... ok! With these things, no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain. He didn't expect that they would all be in your hands. "The black blind man's tone was a little surprising.

Xiao Ran said: "The Witch King's Seal was taken away by the old man just now. I was afraid... he was anxious, so he made a temporary fake..."

"Is it made of this? Copper branches?" The black blind man shook the copper stick in his hand.

"You know this too?!"

Xiao Ran was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood.His second uncle once told him another story about fighting upside down. It’s not surprising that both Black Blind Man and Bronze Branch came from there.

At this time, Lao Xie, whose wounds had partially healed, also came forward.Xiao Ran felt pity and reached out to touch the old deer.The old man snorted a few times like a domestic dog and put a copper pendant in Xiao Ran's hand.

"I know more than that, there is also this, Bai Jiuguo..." Hei Xiazi said with a smile.

Xiao Ran was excited and quickly put on the Bei Jiu Kuo and shouted: "Xiao Jiu! Can you hear me? I thought you lost it too!" "I heard it, I heard it! If I hadn't restrained my spiritual energy just now, I pretended to be deaf. Dumb, your second uncle discovered it. Don’t get excited, I’ll help you calm down..."

A warmth spread from his chest to his whole body, and Xiao Ran's originally distracted energy gradually became focused.

"Oh, it's a pity that all of your old friends have been snatched back. But I have a way. I have a few things here that I can lend to you temporarily.

"You have seen this Mrs. Xu's dagger. There is also a Wuhou Shenji and a Jinyu Tongtian Jian here. They are all contracted with me. You can't hear them talking, but I have talked with them and will do my best. Help you. But the time is... only two hours, in the words of these old guys, an hour..."

While speaking, the blind man handed Xiao Ran the black gold dagger, a wooden repeating crossbow and a square mirror inlaid with gold on all sides and a sapphire color on the surface.

After Xiao Ran took these things, Bei Jiuguo admired: "These guys are no worse than that brother..."

"Besides, this mask and animal skin clothing are also good things. If your clothes are ruined like this, try changing them into something!"

Xiao Ran no longer held back, and took off his clothes in front of everyone until he was left with only a pair of underwear that partially exposed his buttocks. Yingzi turned around with a blush on his face in embarrassment, while the others snickered.

The animal skin vestments are extremely warm and can keep out the cold even better than military coats.The moment Xiao Ran put on the mask, he suddenly saw humanoid and animal-shaped spots of light up and down the entire hall, still flying and swaying.

He was so shocked that he quickly pushed the mask to the top of his head, calmed down and put it on again. Only then was he sure that this mask could allow him to directly see the floating soul.

"I'll tell you how to use these artifacts..."

The blind man stepped forward and whispered a few words, and Xiao Ran memorized the usage of different artifacts.But despite being grateful, he still had some lingering doubts: "Hei... Well, you did so much just because my mother asked you to do it? Don't tell me that you care about flesh and blood, family ties, and blood is thicker than water. And it stands to reason We’ve already played ten servers, right?”

The black blind man thought for a while and smiled: "There is really no need for me to hide it from you. Let's put it this way, he is not the only one who is trapped in this time and space and repeats it again and again."

Xiao Ran said in shock: "You also... wear..."

The black blind man didn't say anything and continued his words: "The ultimate place that controls time and space is like a passage and a door. There is more than one. I also came here by chance. I thought it was quite new at first, but I don't know why, it suddenly started happening again and again. of repetition.

"Just for fun, I started to investigate slowly. I don't know how many cycles I investigated, and I found out about your second uncle. I roughly figured out how the world works, and I also realized that I can't change anything. So I just made do with it. Anyway, to me, it’s not interesting anywhere.

"But until this time, many things in this world suddenly changed, so I felt that maybe some major changes were coming. And at this time, the people from Qigezhuang suddenly contacted me, who was far away, through many connections. Relatives no matter how far away they are, asked me to send them something.

"At that time, when I first met you, you were still young and half-crazy. You probably didn't have much of an impression on me, so I started helping your parents deliver fragments of the Witch King's Seal to places that ordinary people couldn't go. , to protect you and to protect the temporary peace of this time and space..."

"It turns out...it turns out to be you..."

Xiao Ran thought of what his second uncle had said before, that his father had found someone to help deliver the fragments, and it turned out to be a blind man.No wonder there are traces of Heixiazi in so many places, and when they first met in Jingjue Ancient City, Heixiazi seemed to have known him for a long time.

The black blind man looked at Xiao Ran's surprised face and said with a smile: "Otherwise? Who do you think it could be? I have my own means to investigate the affairs of this world, and I also found that your appearance may represent some major turning point, so I also want to Get involved and have something different.

"For me, repetitive time is not much different from endless time. Just like this time someone asked me to go underground to help you, and next time someone may ask me to go underground somewhere else to help others. Who.

“Destiny always repeats the same drama.

"I brought Bei Jiuguo out from another Ultimate. I stuffed it into the bag of the prodigal son in the south, and he packed it up and sold it to you. Dialogue between Ultimate and Ultimate is easier than between people and Ultimate. Also. I gave this copper stick to your father. I thought I could help him, but I didn't expect that it would end up in your hands. It was God's will.

"I'm a little tired of watching this drama, so I want to lend you a hand to see if I can make any breakthrough. If you succeed, I can leave from here; if you fail, the big deal is that I will continue to repeat it and find new ways. Or maybe you can rest from now on. Are you satisfied now?"

Xiao Ran looked at Hei Xiazi's grinning face, and this time he really couldn't find it annoying anymore.

At this time, another earth-shaking vibration came, and everyone present had to find something to hold on to. The group of pigeons dispersed in shock, with only a few remaining around everyone.

When the shaking stopped, the black blind man tightened the corners of his grin and said seriously: "Time is running out, your... second uncle? He started messing around with it. If he destroys the sundial, this The world is over. The only one who can stop this now is you."

"It turns out that thing is called an empty dial... Can I bother you with one last thing?"

Xiao Ran stood up and jumped on the spot, feeling extremely light.The blind man frowned slightly: "I can't get involved in the next battle..."

"No, I want you to help me take them out safely." Xiao Ran said.

The fat man was the first to stand up and yelled: "That won't work! Brother Xiao, even if we don't defeat Dou'er this time, we can't leave you behind. Either we follow you, or you follow us!"

Yingzi nodded repeatedly after hearing the fat man's words: "Yes, yes! I can't abandon you!"

Hu Bayi came over, patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder and said, "Brother Xiao Ran, although I don't understand what you just said, I understand a general idea. Is there some kind of conflict between you and your second uncle? I don't care. Is it your family matter or something about ghosts and gods? I can only say that it all depends on you. If you think we can help, we will definitely work with you. If you think it is not appropriate for us to show up, then we will be here, nowhere. Go ahead and wait until you’re done.”

Hu Bayi's words cheered up Da Jinya, who was originally looking embarrassed, and quickly added: "Master Hu is right, if not, we will wait for you. Anyway, it will be a burden for us to go..."

After that, he touched Liu Shengli with his elbow. Liu Shengli wiped away his tears and said, "Manager, I don't know what happened between you and the second uncle. Anyway, I have to take you back this time!"

Xiao Ran felt his nose was a little sore. He calmed down and said with a smile: "You all listen to me and wait for me on the ground first. I promise to get everything back on track. Let's go back to Zhaojing to cook the mutton! "

Seeing that Xiao Ran had made up his mind, the few people had no choice but to turn around and follow the blind man back the way he came.
