Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 366: Cultivation ([-])
366 Chapter 366 Cultivation ([-])

The more Wu Xie thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. It was actually a very common thing for a legend to disappear in history, but it was a little too weird for just one legend to disappear like this. This kind of forgetting was very unnatural. , even a little deliberately, he felt that there must be something fishy in it.

I looked at the map and suddenly asked my brother: "Did the drawings change the direction just now so that they can be seen to have the same pattern as Banai? And some things are reversed?"

The little brother paused and said, "Yes."

I said, "If that's the case, the shape of the pattern in this picture and the shape of Banai's plan are very much like looking into a mirror."

Wu Xie suddenly asked: "What did you say?"

I looked at him and repeated, "Look in the mirror."

Wu Xie suddenly realized something and muttered: "Look in the mirror...mirror image..." and then fell into deep thought again.

I think that the loss of legends here and the phenomenon of copying in villages must be related to the need to hide the secrets of the Zhang family, and there must be a big conspiracy involved.

Everything here is copied like looking in a mirror. There are mirror images and conspiracies. I have heard of a saying called "mirror image conspiracy", which is a common trick in Japanese mystery novels. Perhaps Wu Xie also thought of it. got this.

The core part of this conspiracy is concealment. Isn't it the secret of the Zhang family that needs to be concealed here?

If this is indeed a "mirror conspiracy" and assuming that the current Banai Village was copied by Wang Zanghai, then the thing is that the emperor wanted to get the method of immortality and secretly ordered Wang Zanghai to investigate. In the end, he investigated the earliest Yao village here. It is the village that is now silent at the bottom of the lake.

They wanted to get the things here, so they had a detailed understanding of the village in advance. They investigated the information in the Yao Village at that time, including the local living environment, customs, historical legends, and even the interpersonal relationships between the villagers.

After collecting this information, they conducted detailed analysis and research. When the time was right, they first killed the villagers in the Yao Village and occupied the Yao Village. In order not to make people suspicious, for the sake of truth, and for the sake of someone to guard this place, they Some people were arranged to imitate the characters, words and deeds of the villagers based on all the village information collected previously, completely replacing everyone and everything in the village.

According to what Wu Xie said, if you want to copy an identical village to achieve this level of similarity, you must carry out accurate planning and measurements before the original village is submerged. Wang Zanghai's arrangement is completely in line with what Wu Xie said.

They occupied the original Yao Village, and then rebuilt an identical village nearby according to the original Yao Village. After perfectly replicating a fake Banai Village here, they destroyed the original Yao Village.

The fake villagers moved into the newly built Yao Village. They acted as the original villagers, living in the new village and guarding it.

The village and the villagers are exactly the same as before, just like the image reflected in the mirror. Such conspiracy events have been carried out in history for more than a hundred years, or even longer. In the end, even these imitators almost forgot their previous purpose and thought that It is the indigenous residents here that lead to the current situation.

The legend of the burning of the old stockade has been passed down, which means that this incident did happen, so the original stockade was not only the large area left at the bottom of the lake, but that part was deliberately left behind. There must be something else to say.

In short, the meaning of this is to hide the secrets here. Either Wang Zanghai created all this and wants to monopolize the secrets here. The real village will generally not be discovered in the mountains, and they can still use it for research, or The Zhang family created a replicated village and replicated people in order to hide this place, but I still think something is a bit strange.

Wu Xie gradually figured out the matter, that is, Agui's village was fake, built specifically to prevent others from discovering that the real village had disappeared.

This can also explain why there is a legend that a fire burned down the old village. The villages at that time were certainly not all on the slopes of the canyon. There were many sporadic buildings in the villages in the mountains, which were distributed far away from the village. These villages were surrounded by water. If it cannot be flooded, but it must be destroyed, it is possible that wildfires were used. In order to cover up the traces of wildfires, this statement was finally used.

He knew that behind this trick was an extremely bloody conspiracy. All the people in the village would have been massacred, and the murderers might have pretended to be villagers, lived in the fake village, and carried out their plan. This conspiracy happened a long time ago In the past, a few years later, something happened in the jade mine, and then the village was flooded.

Just as Wu Xie was about to drink something to get some air, he heard the fat man say "tsk", pointing at the picture and asking him: "Tianzhen, look at it like this, what image did you draw?"

I watched the fat man use a pen to black out some places on the map he drew, as if he had discovered something. Soon Wu Xie came over. The fat man held up the map and said, "Look, what does this look like."

Under the sun, the floor plan drawn by Wu Xie became mottled. After a little processing by him, the floor plan of the entire village turned into the shape of an animal, and it clearly had eyes and claws. The more I looked at it, the more I became aware of it. Familiar, he blurted out: "Qilin?"

The fat man murmured: "It's getting more and more fun."

The hairs all over Wu Xie's body stood up and he was stunned.

I said directly: "Brother, this picture looks very similar to your tattoo."

Wu Xie said: "It's indeed very similar." Holding the picture, he stood next to the dazed boy and said to him: "Quickly! Take off your clothes!"

Seeing Wu Xie's eager look, I couldn't help but feel happy. The little brother was stunned for a moment and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Wu Xie showed him the picture in his hand and kept explaining it to him, but the little brother didn't seem to understand it very well. I said to him: "Brother, he means to see your tattoo and confirm the picture." Is the shape on it the same as the shape of your tattoo?”

The little brother said lightly: "Oh." He let go of me and slowly began to take off his shirt.

Wu Xie looked at the little brother's grinding movements and felt anxious. Seeing his expression, he looked like he wanted to kick him over and immediately stick to him for a look. He looked straight at the little brother and said: "Menyouping, can you hurry up?" I smiled and said to him, "Brother Wu Xie, it's useless for you to hurry."

Wu Xie said "Ah". He didn't seem to have reacted yet. He waited until the younger brother took off his clothes before he remembered and said, "Damn, I forgot about your tattoo. It's usually invisible. What should I do?"

I said: "You have to meet certain conditions before you can see it."

Wu Xie hurriedly asked his brother: "What's going on with Menyou Ping?"

The little brother said slowly: "This kind of tattoo is made with the juice of a prickly plant. It is usually transparent and will turn black only when the body temperature exceeds a certain temperature. In ancient times, Miao people often suffered from damp heat disease. This kind of tattoo Can be used to detect children's body temperature.

When the body temperature exceeds a certain temperature, intense exercise or excitement, tattoos will appear. Due to different concentrations and different sensitivity to temperature, only extremely violent fighting can make all tattoo patterns appear. "

Wu Xie said "Oh", and the fat man immediately said: "Well, let's just look at the little unicorn. We don't have to explode them all. It doesn't have to be too intense. Girl, I'll leave this to you. Hurry up."

I thought I heard it wrong: "What? How should I do it?"

The fat man came close to me, and made an extremely exaggerated expression on his big face towards me. He closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and said "um" at the same time. I immediately knew what he meant, and my tongue was tied and he said: "This, this, this ...I, I, I..."

The fat man patted the little brother gently and said, "Brother, come on."

The little brother was stunned for a moment, reached out and touched my head, and pulled me to sit on the edge of the bed. He asked me to sit down. He knew that I was nervous and shy, so he blocked me with his body to prevent them from scaring me. .

He gently held my face and looked at me affectionately. I blushed shyly, thinking to myself, it’s broad daylight, and it’s in full public view. My mind was no longer online in an instant, and I was racing. Panting, the little brother whispered: "Close your eyes." Then he tilted his head and kissed her.

After I closed my eyes, I felt a little limp and weak after a while. He
I felt dizzy, not to mention raising his body temperature, and it felt like I was about to be cooked.

I don’t know how long later, my brother held my hot face with his hands and put his forehead against mine. I gradually opened my eyes and saw that the tattoos on his body had indeed emerged. He hugged me and sat next to me while panting. .

The fat man and Wu Xie on the side walked over with strange smiles. The fat man said: "What am I talking about? It's good to have a girl here, she can arouse him in no time. Otherwise, I have to find hot water bottles all over the world to slow him down." Cover it slowly."

Although Wu Xie wanted to see the unicorn pattern, he couldn't help but put aside his eagerness for the time being. He looked at us and smiled as if he was watching the fun.

I turned around stiffly, facing the little brother and looking at his tattoo. They quickly came to us.

The fat man said: "Damn! This is a great trick! Why didn't I know this when I cheated before?"

Wu Xie spread the map aside and began to look at his tattoo and the map carefully.

The fat man pointed to the direction of the path beside the tower and said: "Look at the location of this ancient building. If Banai is the same as this village, then the location of the ancient building at the bottom of the lake happens to be where the tall wooden building is. On, what if I stick it on my little brother..."

I whispered: "It's the eyes of Qilin."

The fat man said "Yes".

Wu Xie thought, "Oh?", looked at it carefully, compared it and said, "It's true, the fat man is really careful."

The fat man chuckled, and Wu Xie said, "Does this have any profound meaning?"

The fat man said: "The most obvious thing that can be determined is that, little brother, you must have something to do with this."

Wu Xie made a "cut" sound and said, "Isn't this nonsense?"

The fat man shook his head and said: "No, this is of great significance to us as a guide. We used to just estimate that there might be some clues here, but now we can be sure. Let me tell you, estimation and certainty are two completely different things. concept, our practices will also change in the future.”

Wu Xie nodded and said, "That's true. Moreover, things in this village have just begun. We have a lot to do."

The fat man looked at Wu Xie and said: "This matter has some clues, and there is no need to be so anxious. Anyway, the village cannot suddenly disappear again. We must continue to stay and conduct a systematic investigation. In addition, the surrounding villages must also be investigated one by one. Go ask around and see what you can find out. This is a long process. I think I have to stay here for a long time. I will sort it out and go back to bring some things over first, and then I may stay here permanently." As he spoke, he grinned at Yun Cai: "Girl, we have been getting along for a long time!"

Yun Cai also smiled, but I saw her eyes unconsciously looking towards the little brother.
