Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 256 Dreams and Reality

256 Chapter 256 Dreams and Reality
My brother, Wen Jin, and I have been in the meteorite cave for three days. I thought, since I’m not allowed to use my spiritual power, it’s enough to just eat what I have in my bag for the next few days. Anyway, I’ll get the antidote in a few days. After the samples are developed, can we ask the brothers and sisters to bring the supplies directly, so that they will not be discovered?

Climbing up this hole is really exhausting. My whole body is full of energy. I have to get myself stuck in the hole and then climb up bit by bit. In the process of climbing, I can't control every muscle in my body. My head was shaking, as if I had touched a switch. Maybe I was not using the right force, and my legs cramped. Fortunately, there were many holes in the rocks. I quickly grabbed the stone wall. This was better than my brother who asked me to practice climbing trees. But I was much tired. Although I was not very skilled in flying because I was afraid of heights, it was better than being sore all over. Fortunately, there were larger holes along the way for us to rest temporarily.

I was about to get close to the center of the meteorite, but I couldn't describe how panicked I was. I could feel that it was definitely not the panic caused by rushing to climb the rock wall. I always felt like there was a voice telling me, no. I asked the little brother to get closer to it, and the voice became clearer and clearer, and it sounded very familiar... I think this may be the voice of my heart.

Later, when we were resting, I formed a small ball and huddled in his arms. Unknowingly, I felt myself floating up. When I looked down, I found that I was sitting on a colorful cloud, facing somewhere. Fly away.

The surroundings are very bright, as if under the sun. This is the inside of a stone cave. The stone walls are black and green, and there are many round holes on it, large and small. The inside of the hole is also very deep. From a distance, The entire stone path is full of holes, as if it has been eaten by insects, but why does this look so much like the scene in a meteorite cave?

I have always made a clear distinction between reality and dreams. Moreover, in such a confined space with no lights, how could it be as sunny as broad daylight? What’s more, this place looks like a scene inside a meteorite cave, but... what is this? What kind of dream...

The direction I flew in was bright and white, and there seemed to be mist, but the brightness was a bit too high to look directly at.

I squinted my eyes, covered them slightly with my arms, and looked outside from time to time. Suddenly I found that there seemed to be something flying up and down in the white mist. Suddenly I thought, it couldn't be another purple spirit seedling. Bar……

I got closer, and the brightness there never diminished. I couldn't open my eyes at all, so I had to lower my head slightly. After a while, I suddenly felt like I had rushed into foam. It was very dense foam, soft and cotton, and I bumped into it. In an instant, I shrank up, and the thing spread out as soon as it touched my body.

After passing through the foam, the brightness dimmed and I could open my eyes. I looked up and saw that I was in a cavity. I looked around. There were many patterns on the stone walls here, which I had seen before. The pattern on the bronze door can only be understood by my little brother.

Not far away, in the center of the cave, there is a mummy dressed in rich clothes and surrounded by broken meteorite fragments. This costume is the same as the female mummy on the throne of the altar outside, but the lower body of this one is a whole piece. The snake skin looks like half human and half snake.

Looking at this mummy, I feel cold all over. This is probably the Queen Mother of the West. Hiding here probably means she wants to be reborn. I am a little curious, is this snake skin a decoration or is it growing on the body... Although it is in a dream , but I still didn’t dare to go and take a look.

Suddenly, purple spiritual seedlings floated over, getting closer and closer to me...

I thought about it. Although the things that appeared in the dream of the purple spirit seedling were somewhat different from reality, they were all real. Then if the three of us went to the center of the stone, there might really be such a hole, and there would be this hole inside. The Queen Mother of the West is neither a human nor a snake.

The purple spirit seedling came closer to me little by little. I raised my hand and said to it, "Wait a minute." This thing was spiritual, and it stopped as expected.

Although I stopped it, I didn't know what to ask it for a moment, "Uh... you, do you know anything else here?"

I saw it fluttering and began to change. Gradually it began to get bigger, and then turned into the outline of a girl, with long hair, a bun that was not too big, a hairpin, and something like It was in ancient costume, and she was about the same height as me. It changed a bit suddenly, and I looked at her with my eyes widened.

I saw her raising her hand and stretching her arms to point to the top of the cave. There was a huge cocoon on it. On the outside of the cocoon, there were layers of debris-like things. There was quite a lot. I looked at it in confusion. To the Lingmiao girl, because I don't know what it is, but I think she should know.

She gradually lowered her arms and lowered her head as if she was depressed. I asked her, "Is that something bad?" She did not respond.

I asked her again: "Will he hurt my brother?" She turned to look at me, but because she was just a silhouette, her movements were difficult to understand, but I thought she would react if she did.

I asked her again: "Then it will be fine if I don't let him see this?" The Lingmiao girl shook her head.

Xin asked, is the thing here so powerful... I asked her: "You mean, this thing is very important to him, but it will hurt him?" This time she nodded.

I was completely confused by this nod, because it meant "It's a blessing, not a curse, it's a curse that cannot be avoided." I muttered, "Then I can only let nature take its course."

The Lingmiao girl walked up to me and held my arm, and I seemed to really feel a pair of warm little hands holding me, and said to me in the same voice as mine: "In life, there are always A little helpless, what is supposed to come will eventually come. Having you by his side this time is better than him fighting alone every time.

The affairs of his family are very complicated, and what we can know is not complete. The things inside know everything, but we can't touch them. The things inside are more than 4000 years old, and they are from the same era as the bronze door. of. "

I said, "The bronze door? Are there really Chi You's fragments inside?"

The Lingmiao girl did not answer the question. She continued: "I only know that the things inside can talk. Only Zhang Qiling can understand what he said."

"The talking fragment, isn't it just a head inside..." Thinking of this, I shook my head and said, "No, no, it must be more than just a head. A complete person may not be able to be resurrected here, and a head certainly can't be resurrected." , this popular symbiosis, I can’t guarantee that there is something else inside.”

I looked at the Queen Mother of the West under the cocoon. She was already a mummy and probably wouldn’t shed her skin. There was also a person waiting to be resurrected in the cocoon. The pile of skin around the Queen Mother of the West was more than the skin on her chest. Wasn’t it all in the cocoon? The one who faded.

Miss Lingmiao said: "Maybe only he knows what it is specifically. Well, it's time for you to go back. He will be worried about you."

I looked at her and said, "What about you?"

The Lingmiao girl said: "Of course I'm going to where I should go. Are you ready?" I just said "Huh?", and she overlapped with me in a "swish" and started following me. Feeling dizzy, he said helplessly: "Here we go again...", then his eyes darkened and he fell down.

Outside the dream, I kept listening to the little girl in my arms mumbling something. He put his ear close to my lips and listened carefully. The little girl said some vague words, and he tried to wake her up. Me, I had no reaction.This situation has happened before, but this time it seemed quite peaceful. It seemed that I didn't encounter anything scary in my dream.

I don't know how long it took, but the little brother felt that the little girl's body temperature gradually returned to normal. After a while, she also had a reaction, woke up, and looked at him with sleepy eyes.

For three days, Wu Xie has been guarding the entrance of the cave where we disappeared. His mood is very complicated.

During this period, he tried to enter the cave more than once, but failed.The best time was when he climbed up ten meters with all his strength. His calves were shaking like chaff. He thought to himself that this hole was really not a passage that ordinary people could climb.

Wu Xie thought about it. The third uncle's group of guys must not dare to go deep. Moreover, in the past few days, the mop has urged him to leave several times, saying that these two people may have died inside. Since it is impossible for us to go in, then It was better to save some energy and dry food to prepare for going out. Wu Xie was too lazy to pay attention to him.

The only one who might be able to get in was the blind man, but he never showed that intention, thinking that he probably felt that he was not sure he would be able to get out if he went in, and in the past few days, he had been picking on Xiaoxun when he had nothing to do.

Xiaoxun is also very worried. He hasn't woken up since he was beaten by the blind man. He wants to take a look, but the blind man said that he doesn't need to keep an eye on him.

The atmosphere in the camp was dull and strange. He still couldn't accept that this would be the result of all the hard work to get here. He could only think about what was going on here.

He could understand why Wen Jin untied the rope by herself and came all the way. Her words were very fatalistic. Her life in the past few years was simply indescribable. It was possible that she had this idea. Maybe she found something inside that was not Wu Xie was desperate for a solution to her corpse transformation and chose to end her life, especially the smile before she left, which made Wu Xie feel that she might have planned it long ago.

What he didn't understand was why the stuffy oil bottle didn't come out. He just felt that something must have happened inside, maybe because the tunnels inside were winding and twisting, forming an endless maze. The more anxious he became, no matter whether he was awake or asleep, there was only one image in front of him, that is, the deep hole.

On the fourth day, the Qilin City communicator in my bag, something similar to a Bluetooth headset, rang, and Yu Jing's voice answered. She said that a sample of the antidote had been prepared, but the effect was unknown. I thought Then don't delay, just ask them to come to this cave to find us.

Xuefeng and Liyue stayed behind to protect Wu Xie and the others.Chi Yan, Bai Hao and Yu Jing quickly teleported in with their equipment and people, avoiding Wu Xie and others.

Chiyan Baihao entered the cave with a smile, and Yu Jing followed. They brought me a bag with a lot of food in it.

Wen Jin said that she planned to build the cairn in the cave where the archaeological team was, but it sounded like she was explaining the funeral... I asked my two brothers to go to the cave to help her prepare.

Yu Jing handed the bottle of medicine to Wen Jin and told her that it was difficult to completely cure the poison. The poison had been deeply integrated with Wen Jin, but it might not sleep forever like those people, but the time was uncertain. Of course, it's possible that nothing will change. After all, the antidote was developed in a hurry and there was no clinical trial or anything like that. I talked about it a lot and reminisced about the past, but I couldn't remember it at all.

While they were chatting, I sat aside with my little brother. I quietly turned the little spirit seedling into the silhouette of a girl in costume. She also talked to me and some important content, and she ran to I told him everything I could think of about my worries about him, but he just protected my little head and listened quietly as usual.

The mop group of people outside the cave began to complain non-stop. Wu Xie was already in a very bad mood because he was worried about us. Even though he felt that what the mop said might be right, he almost got into a fight with them several times.

Wu Xie was in a daze while waiting and almost collapsed. His uneasiness and anxiety became more and more serious. Seeing that there was no movement in the cave, he began to wonder whether Wen Jin and his brother had never existed at all. But Turning around and looking at Xiaoxun on the ground, I felt that it must be my wild imagination. Xiaoxun was really there, so how could they be fake.

Wen Jin took the medicine and we observed it for a few days, but we really couldn't see any effect. Her small cairn was also prepared and an exit was made for him. This time he can get in. If he really wakes up, he can still get in easily. come out.

On the sixth day, Mop took his people away as expected. Originally they hoped to rely on our experience to take them out, but now they are obviously unwilling to waste their time in this situation. In their view, even if the younger brother and Wen Jin Not dead, he will be dead in a few days.

The black blind man patted him, meaning to let him go, but he refused. The black blind man said, "Then the little girl will be left to you two."

The fat man said: "Oh, you were beaten and you didn't wake up for several days. You have to be responsible at least. You just left like this. This is your apprentice."

He sighed and said: "You will wake up sooner or later, probably soon. If I took him away, woke up halfway, didn't see his little brother, and came back again, I might as well stay here." You guys are waiting together. It’s done. I’ll leave now too. Take care and see you next time.” He took the things and left without looking back. He waved his hands and left. Only Wu Xie and He were left outside the cave. Fatty and my little clone.

They took away a lot of food, especially the mop group, which was definitely more than the average portion, but Wu Xie was too lazy to argue with them.

Fatty also tried to persuade him in the past few days, but Fatty knew Wu Xie's temper and had no choice but to stay with him.

You two looked at me and I looked at you, just looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes, waiting, but the two big men still felt awkward watching you staring at each other. The fat man said: "I'll go over and take the little girl." Get it here, don't be so pessimistic, my little brother can get in and out of the bronze door, so maybe it's okay." He said while walking towards the clone of me.

Wu Xie took a piece of their clothes and spread it on the ground. The fat man put my clone on the clothes. Next to them, he rolled up the towel in the bag to use as a temporary pillow, and covered me with another piece of clothes. .

After repairing for the past few days, I still plan to continue going in. This time we will continue to move forward together.
