Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 246

246 2Chapter 16 is so angry
Wu Xie said that the road here is a corridor shaped like "fei".

I see that those people with bad intentions don't know the situation here, so I guess they won't dare to act rashly for the time being, so we will be careful and ignore them for now.

We took our equipment and started to move forward carefully, and soon a cave appeared in front of us. There were stairs at the end of the tunnel, which were built along the wall of the cave and spiraled down.

The miner's lamp was no longer working at this point, so the fat man immediately fired up the flares. As expected, the third uncle was careful and prepared several types of flares. The fat man took out a low-altitude flare specially used in caves. When he loaded the bomb, the little boy Brother reached out and covered my eyes.The fat man then fired a shot, and a fireball flew into the darkness with a "swish", and soon it bloomed, and the cave was illuminated brightly.

The fat man wanted to illuminate the blind spots around him, and then fired two more rounds. The fat man dropped the shell and wanted to load another round. Wen Jin held him down and said: "No matter how rich your family is, you are not the one to use it like this. Besides, It’s already bright enough, but if it gets brighter, we won’t be able to see it, and our eyes will be burned out.”

When the fat man heard what the "eldest sister" had said, he looked at it and saw that it was bright enough, so he gave up.

I couldn't resist the strong light. After the brightest stage passed, the little brother gradually let go and let me adapt to the light.

As the light shrinks, the surrounding situation gradually becomes clearer, and the surrounding scenery appears.

Wu Xie looked at it and said, "This should be the deepest point at the bottom of Tamutuo City. This cave was dug manually. It's too high up here and you can't see the top of the cave clearly."

I looked around the cave and found that the surrounding area was artificially built one step at a time, much like terraces or stadium seats, layer by layer, circle by circle.

Each level is densely packed with black, bloated statue-like things, and there are no empty seats. Although I don’t know what these are, I always feel uncomfortable looking at them, because I went there before. In places like this, you can always see scenes like this. Things deliberately arranged like this are almost all ancient corpses.

Wu Xie looked at it and said: "These... details can't be clearly seen, but they seem familiar. It may be some secret statue, or a totem unique to the royal family."

I murmured in a low voice: "You have also noticed that this arrangement can't be a corpse or something. Why does it look like a humanoid to me?"

The fat man asked quietly: "Humanoid? Statue? What on earth is that? Can you tell?"

Wu Xie shook his head and said: "I can't tell the specifics, but this pattern makes me feel that these statues may not really be made of stone, but may be specially treated corpses. This may be the corpse cave of the royal family. The status The lower-ranking royal family will be buried here and left to dry naturally in the shade, waiting for me to take a look."

As the flare fell, Wu Xie followed the light and looked underneath. He pointed to us and said: "Look at the stone disk at the bottom, and there are dozens of strange shapes and different sizes around it." Bronze vessels, but they all look very round." He looked at the surrounding rocks again. There was no obvious place to continue and said, "It looks like we have reached the end of the road here."

The fat man looked at it and exclaimed: "This Xiwang Mother Clan might as well be called the Mole Clan. They really like digging holes. They dug such a deep place under the imperial city. What is the purpose?"

Wen Jin said: "This may be the holy land of the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, a place where the royal family of the Queen Mother of the West conducts secret activities. They may hold some extremely secret rituals or practice some kind of religious practice here."

I squinted my eyes and looked carefully, but gradually I felt that the black things in front of me looked more and more familiar. I pulled the little brother and said to him: "Brother, the black human-shaped things and the bronze vessels, I Why do I suddenly feel that these things look like the ones I saw there..." I looked up at him and saw that his eyes were staring at those things. I shouted, "Brother? Brother?" He didn't seem to react at all. Yes, what should I be thinking about? I pursed my lips, looked at him, and said to myself, let him think first.

At the same time, I heard the fat man say: "Fuck, this holy land is too shabby. It's really disappointing. These queens are also careless. What are these bronzes? And these stone carvings are... Oh my God! Xiao Wu, look at what these stone sculptures are!"

This time, Wu Xie was startled by him and complained: "Can you please stop being so surprised?"

At this time, the flare fell to the ground, but it was still burning, and the lighting range was greatly reduced. Wu Xie had to lift the miner's lamp to shine it. After taking a closer look, he said, "Holy shit!" He couldn't help but gasped. : "The "stone carvings" surrounding the cave wall are not stone carvings at all, but rows of jade figurines!"

At this moment, the little brother also groaned, which shocked me. He was obviously greatly stimulated. He must have thought of something terrible, and his brows were furrowed.

Intuition tells me that my brother must have thought of some ancient family affairs, and it must be related to these jade figurines. It seems that he has remembered the purpose of these things here in ancient times?If he puts the corpse of the Cock King in his head and then stuffs it into jade figurines, then those jade figurines are his ancestors who were used by Queen Mother of the West for experiments?That's why he had that look.

However, since there are so many jade figurines here, there should be no shortage of corpse dragon kings. The number of these seen in front of me is huge, many times more than what I saw before. The danger index here has suddenly risen to... I It’s so much that I don’t even dare to think about it… I’m already breaking out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.

I heard Wu Xie whisper: "There are so many jade figurines here, is there a living corpse inside each one?"

I thought to myself, I don’t know if it’s a living corpse or not, but if the contents inside accidentally spilled out, then it would be a real bloody corpse, and not touching them would be the best choice.

Fatty had always been interested in jade figurines, and now he hugged the wall and lay down on a staircase.Wu Xie was afraid that he would get into trouble, so he grabbed him and said to him: "Hey, if you want to go down to see the lowest level, you don't need to exert any effort."

I said "Oh" a little. I originally wanted to say that I really wanted to go. How about not going?But I knew it was all in vain and they wouldn't listen, so I sighed helplessly.

Wu Xie noticed that I seemed to want to say something but didn't say it, but he didn't ask me.

I quickly followed them down the stone steps. At the last step, the fat man jumped up to a jade figurine, raised a miner's lamp to shine it, and saw that inside the jade figurine was a completely dried mummy. They I looked around and looked through the gaps. Although I couldn't see the details clearly, I was sure that there was a mummy inside each jade figurine.

My head was a bit blurry. There was this big pool, and I felt like I was frozen. I was holding my little brother tightly with my little hands.

The fat man said: "It seems that the eldest sister is right. This may really be the place where they practice. Damn it, are these dry things the immortals under the Queen Mother of the West in Chinese mythology? This is not even close. It’s too far.”

Wu Xie looked at those things and said, "But these jade figurines are a little different from those in King Lu's Palace. The corpses inside the jade figurines in King Lu's Palace are still alive, but these seem to have become mummies."

The fat man said: "That's because of time. This cave should have been dug when the Western Queen Mother Kingdom was at its peak. That should have been 5000 years ago. After such a long time, anything with moisture has been dried." As he said, The fat man reached out to touch the black jade figurine shell. The little brother immediately grabbed his hand and said, "Be careful."

Wu Xie hurriedly said to him: "It's better not to touch this thing. Didn't I say at that time that if the time is wrong, the jade figurines will be very serious after they come out of their shells."

The fat man said depressedly: "I just want to touch it, let me keep some memories, okay?"

Wu Xie said to him: "Fat man, don't forget your pain as soon as you feel better."

I muttered in a low voice: "It's just that the scars have healed and they have forgotten the pain. They are all the same." The fat man said "Yes" sincerely, tilted his head and looked at me and said, "Little girl, you have something to say." , let’s talk about him.”

I glanced at him, stood there stiffly and muttered, "It's all the same."

The fat man smiled and said: "Little guy, this is a shame for us. Believe it or not, let your brother deal with you."

I looked up at my little brother, who looked down at me. I looked at him and blinked, then lowered my head and fell silent.

Wen Jin was attracted by those bronze vessels at this time and walked towards them.

Upon seeing this, Wu Xie immediately followed him, and was surprised to find that these bronze vessels were extremely huge, with strange shapes, and were taller than him. For a moment, he couldn't tell what they were.

The traces of use on these bronze vessels were obvious, and they all had astonishing decay. He murmured to himself: "If this cave was a place used by the Xiwangmu clan to practice or perform religious rituals, then these things should also be related to the practice and religious rituals. relation."

At this time, Wen Jin murmured: "Oh my god, this is the alchemy room of Queen Mother of the West, and it actually exists."

Wu Xie looked towards her and saw that Wen Jin had already reached the edge of the huge stone rock in the center that looked like a millstone.The little brother pulled me up and followed them.

Soon, we saw that the thing was a stone astrolabe, with dots arranged all over it, representing the stars in the sky, and each dot was represented by an ugly dark green stone. of.

I knew at a glance that these were corpse pills...Wu Xie also recognized them at a glance. He didn't seem to expect that there were so many here, and he looked a little surprised.

At this time, a strange voice came from behind and said: "What is this? The elixir of life?" followed by a whistle, we looked back and saw that the mop and a few guys were already following us.

I suddenly had an ominous premonition... and suddenly became nervous.

Wu Xie immediately felt that his head was heavy, shook his head and said: "This is a poison that will kill you immediately if you eat it. You must not touch these pills, they are extremely poisonous."

The man said: "Of course I won't eat it. Isn't it just a look?"

Wu Xie said sternly: "No, you can't touch anything here."

At this time, the ugly faces of those guys were revealed. They were very interested in this. When they heard what Wu Xie said, they muttered a few words, and one of them lit a cigarette and said, "Who do you think you are? Be more disciplined."

His words were obviously full of contempt for Wu Xie, and he didn't take him seriously at all. Wu Xie pretended not to hear and ignored them.

At this time, the surroundings suddenly lit up again. The previously burning flares were extinguished one by one. The fat man fired two more. He looked up and suddenly shouted: "Look here."

We all looked up and saw that the flare was at the highest point, illuminating something hanging from several chains on the top of the cave. More than a dozen chains were in a divergent shape, like a spider web. One side is embedded in the stone, and the other side is connected to the thing. The thing is pitch black, like a huge black ball.

The flares fell immediately, and the cave was plunged into darkness again.

Someone nearby said to himself in surprise, "What is that?"

Wen Jin was shocked and said: "This is a suspended furnace. Oh my God, this hole must be the cave of the Great Feng Shui Wanshan Dragon Mother. This is the highest state of the alchemy room and the highest state of the alchemy furnace. The alchemy furnace does not touch the ground. Collect the essence of the entire dragon vein."

The fat man said, "Come on, take a closer look." He put on a high-altitude signal bomb, followed by another. I closed my eyes reflexively and turned my head to my brother's arm.After a while, he looked up slightly. This time, the flare hit the edge of the black ball and exploded. Now he could see it very clearly. It was a carved bronze spherical vessel. It was huge and bigger than any other one here. The bronze vessels are all three times larger.

Wu Xie said: "This is connected with those iron chains, and it looks like a giant wolf spider waiting in the center of the spider web."

Wen Jin immediately said to the fat man: "Don't launch anymore. I don't know if there will be anything flammable inside the furnace. If it explodes later, we will be bombed by bombers, and no one here will survive." "

The fat man sighed and said, "It's a pity I can't go up to see it, otherwise maybe the elixir of life is on it. Let's eat a dozen and go directly to the moon. I don't know how Chang'e is doing recently."

Wu Xie patted the fat man and sighed: "You finally showed your weakness, Marshal Tianpeng, no wonder your figure looks so familiar to me."

The little brother has been silent, just looking around, holding me tightly, I don't know what to say.

Human beings have never stopped exploring immortality, and are extremely persistent in it. No matter what age, there are always people who take the risk to find and try. Being able to have immortality is like opening the door to a new world for them. of.

People in the world of gods and demons have immortality, but how many of them give up immortality to find friendship, family and love that they think are more precious, and do not want to be alone for the rest of their lives.

Human beings have these emotions, but they are obsessed with immortality. They go to places like this one by one to die, but they can't get immortality. Instead, they go to see the King of Hell one step ahead. What is the saying "no work, no die"?

So what if I get immortality? For this reason, I watch the people and things I value and cherish around me move away from me one by one, leaving myself alone, lonely and lonely. Isn’t this sick?

Sure enough, there is nothing to ask for, and what you don’t get is always the best. It’s so strange. I don’t understand the principle of contentment and happiness. I shook my head while thinking about it.

At this moment, an idiot actually wanted to get the elixir, and he laughed and said: "Little Third Master, do you really think you are the master? Times have changed, and people don't care about seniority anymore." After that, he I dug out an elixir, shined it with a flashlight, and looked carefully.

The face of the guy next to me changed instantly, and I heard him softly shout: "It's over."

In an instant, my head felt like it was exploding. I stared at that person. I really wanted to get rid of him to avoid harming everyone, but I guess it was too late. I am a person who never curses people, but at this moment, I suddenly felt really sad in my heart. I was very angry and really wanted to scold him. If eyes could kill him, I would have killed him instantly.
