Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 13 Zongzi Language

013 Chapter 13 Zongzi Language

Dakui had already dug a large hole underneath and cleared out a large brick wall. His third uncle told Wu Xie to be obedient when he went down and not to run around or touch things. Wu Xie agreed simply.

We held flashlights and descended from the robbery hole to the inside one by one.The little brother asked me to walk in front of him, and he walked at the end of the line.As soon as we entered, we saw Da Kui knocking on the wall with his hands.

When the younger brother saw it, he shouted: "Don't move." The younger brother's eyes were so sharp that Dakui was startled. "

The little brother walked forward quickly, stretched out two fingers, placed them on the wall, and touched along the cracks of the bricks for a long time before stopping.

"There is an anti-theft mezzanine here. All bricks must be taken out. They cannot be pushed in, let alone smashed!"

Pan Zi touched the wall and said, "How is it possible, there is not even a crack, how could it be possible to squeeze these bricks out?"

The little brother touched the wall again and found a brick. He suddenly used force and pulled the brick out of the wall.He carefully placed the bricks on the ground.

"Look," he pointed to the back of the brick, "this wall is full of alumic acid used for alchemy. If it is broken, it will be poured on us instantly."

Wu Xie asked stupidly: "What will happen?"

The third uncle looked at him: "It will be burned immediately, even the skin will be gone."

Wu Xie was so scared that he quickly touched his face. Seeing him like that, I couldn't help but smile. His little expression was so cute.

The little brother asked them to dig a 5-meter vertical well, then took out an injection needle and a plastic tube from his bag, connected the needle to the tube, and put the other end into the deep pit.The red-hot needle was carefully inserted into the wax wall. Immediately, red vitriol flowed into the vertical well from the other end of the pipe.

Soon, the wax wall turned white, and it looked like everything inside had been drained away.

The little brother nodded and said, "Okay!"

They immediately started moving bricks, and soon they moved a hole in the wall that could allow a person to pass through. The third uncle observed the environment inside, put his head in and smelled it, and then waved for us to follow. One by one they got in.

They said this is the north side of the tomb and is the auxiliary tomb chamber.On the ground are whole stone slabs arranged in a Bagua pattern. They are small in the middle and large on the outside. They are engraved with ancient characters. They are surrounded by eight extinguished lanterns. In the middle of the tomb is a four-legged square tripod. On top of the tripod, there are inscriptions on the top of the tomb. With the sun, moon and stars.

I took a quick look and found that this scene was indeed the one in the painting. On the south side of the tomb facing us, there was a sarcophagus. Behind the sarcophagus was a walkway that seemed to be going downwards.

The third uncle looked at the words on the ground and said to the younger brother: "Brother, look at these words and see if you can tell who is buried here?"

The younger brother shook his head and said nothing.Although I remembered that the Lu Palace was above this and the Western Zhou Dynasty Tomb was below, but the fact that I had read the guide in advance in the dungeon cannot be told outside. And if I were asked, I didn’t understand the meaning at all, so I’d better keep silent for the time being. There should be no problem with being a little transparent.Try to stay as close as possible to the little brother.

They lit up the ever-burning lantern, and the entire tomb lit up. I felt much more comfortable instantly. Otherwise, it would be so dark and spooky that I, a coward like me, would be a little bit unable to move my legs to be honest.Wu Xie was also looking around nervously. Everyone else was looking at their own things. The younger brother seemed to be staring at the big coffin.

At this time, Pan Zi actually climbed up to the cauldron to see what was inside.Suddenly, he cheered: "Third Master, there is a treasure here!"

They all went over to look at the cauldron. I wasn't interested in these things. It didn't matter whether I looked at them or not. The main thing was to follow my brother.They said that there was a headless mummy in the cauldron, its clothes were all rotten, and there were some jade jewelry on the body. Pan Zi was so rude that he took it off and put it on his hand.He immediately jumped into the cauldron to see what else was underneath, but it was too late for the younger brother to stop him. He looked back at the stone coffin, but luckily there was no reaction.

The third uncle scolded: "You boy, this tripod is used for offering sacrifices, you want to be used as a sacrifice?"

Pan Zi chuckled: "Third Master, I'm not Da Kui, don't scare me." He took out a large jade bottle from inside, "Look, there are really a lot of good things, let's see what else is there?"

In my opinion, this tripod is the "rice bowl" of big rice dumplings. You said that this elder brother is also a veteran, why is he so careless? This kind of old monster who has not seen a few fresh meats in thousands of years likes fresh meat like you the most. Why are you delivering the sacrifices yourself? Then he said, "Brother Pan Zi, don't move around. It's very dangerous."

While talking, I pulled out the special communicator for the administration. It is driven by spiritual power, does not require electricity, and is not afraid of magnetic field interference. The signal is very good.In order to look normal, it looks like a Bluetooth headset.The great translator, Green Peacock Shang Li, was selected to connect us.As soon as the connection was connected, I heard the third uncle shouting next to me.

The third uncle said: "Stop messing around and come out quickly!"

When I saw that the little brother's face had turned pale and his eyes were fixed on the sarcophagus, I knew it was over... I was in trouble this time.At this time, I heard a "clucking" sound. It was the little brother talking to the big coffin.

I said to him in the lowest voice: "Shang Li, Zongzi language, please translate." I made very little movement and almost didn't open my mouth.

"What period?"

"Is this also divided into periods?"

"Yes, there are differences in the grammar of ancient Zongzi."

"This should be from the Western Zhou Dynasty." Seeing his terrifying expression, the third uncle pulled Pan Zi out.Suddenly, the little brother became silent.There was no sound at all in the tomb. After an unknown period of time, the coffin board suddenly turned upward and began to shake violently.It was quite scary... My little heart was so frightened.

Then an eerie and chilling sound came from the sarcophagus. This was the live version of Zongzi Language. It was really shocking. This was surround sound. It was much more sinister than the thing in the corpse cave. I felt nervous when I heard it. I almost jumped out of my skin, a cold air rushed up from my back, and I stood beside the little brother blankly.

Seeing this, Da Kui sat down on the ground in fright.Wu Xie's feet also softened, and she almost sat down.The third uncle has seen the world after all, although his feet started to shake, he didn't fall down.

After hearing the sound, the little brother looked very ugly. He knelt down on the ground and took a heavy bite at the coffin.When Wu Xie and others saw him, they immediately imitated him and knelt down and kowtowed.

Wu Xie called me in a low voice: "Xiao Xun, Xiao Xun."

The rice dumplings were so noisy that I couldn't hear him clearly, so I ignored him.I kept looking at the little brother. As soon as the little brother knelt down, I was even more sure that this was probably King Mu of Zhou in the story in the book. I quickly asked Shang Li: "They all knelt down, what should I do?"

"You are Qilin, don't worry about him, just keep an eye on him. This zongzi says I am..."

"Stop! Speak plainly to me." Then Shang Li stared at him.

"He is King Mu of Zhou."

The little brother raised his head, looked back at me with a puzzled look, turned his head and made a series of strange noises, as if he was chanting some spell.

The third uncle broke out in a cold sweat.

Wu Xie said softly: "Isn't he talking to it?"

I quietly asked Shang Li: "What are they talking about? You are the translator."

"Oh, it's okay. The two of you are negotiating terms, and they're going pretty well. The guy will tell you later."

"Brother Li, you are teasing me again, right? I asked you to be more straightforward, but are you too simple?"

"Don't you mainly want to know the result? The boy will tell you later. But Da Zongzi recognized you but didn't identify you, so the boy may doubt your identity."

"No, this is really not good news. I haven't figured out how to recognize him yet. How did he recognize him?"

"It should be your eyes. It seems that your abilities are starting to recover. It's a good thing for you that the phoenix unicorn eyes have awakened."

No wonder the little brother looked back at me just now, but ignored me: "Then the little brother also saw my eyes just now, and it's even harder to explain. He hasn't thought of me yet..."

Shang Li felt that this was not a problem and said lightly: "There's nothing to say about it. Just tell him who you are. It's his business whether he thinks about it or not."

"Is it that simple?"

"You think it's too complicated."

Thinking about it, the previous reorganization of the memory fragments should be the beginning of my unique basic abilities being restored.Because I have the glass beads, I am a unicorn with the power of the Phoenix. After my rebirth, many basic skills are now lost. What I am mainly recovering now are the abilities of mind, perception, prediction, and healing. This ability is very important. , at least in this environment, I feel a little confident, but I still can’t control the degree of recovery, but it’s better than nothing.

It’s just that the eyes will change color when the spiritual power is used, because it is the power of two divine beasts. When using the power of the Phoenix, the eyes are mainly red, and when using the power of the Kirin, the eyes are mainly gold. When using both powers at the same time, the eyes are a mixture of red and gold, but specifically In fact, I have never looked at it seriously. Whoever deals with a monster has time to look in the mirror and see the color of his eyes...

After a while, the sarcophagus finally stabilized and stopped shaking. The little brother kowtowed again, then stood up and said to us: "We must leave here before dawn. Don't touch anything here. The Lord is extremely powerful, if he releases this, even the Daluo Immortal will not be able to escape."

After finishing speaking, the little brother looked at me coldly. He has never looked at me so coldly these days. It's quite scary...I suddenly felt like I was dead...I think it's scarier than Big Zongzi. Big Zongzi It was just nervousness, but he acted as if I had made a mistake.I disconnected from Shang Li while everyone was not paying attention, but after disconnecting, I became more and more uneasy.

The little brother pointed to the passage behind the coffin and said: "Go gently, don't touch the coffin!"

We are still in the same order as before, with the third uncle at the beginning and the younger brother at the end. According to what the younger brother said, we all passed carefully. The tomb passage is sloping downwards. There are inscriptions and some stone carvings on both sides of the tomb passage.

It was pitch dark along the way. After walking for about half an hour, we saw a burglar's cave. They were looking at the cave and making various assumptions. I secretly looked at my brother from time to time, secretly feeling worried.

The third uncle looked at it and said: "This hole was dug in a hurry. It doesn't look like it was made to get in, but more like it was made to get out."

Pan Zi said: "They didn't go out the way they came. It seems something must have happened."

The third uncle thought for a while and said to us: "Since someone has waded through the thunder for us, we don't need to be so mother-in-law anymore. Let's go in."
