Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 431 Topaz Lingshi Cave ([-])

431 Chapter 431 Topaz Lingshi Cave ([-])

The Sixiang Jade Door was already wide open. Zhang Qiling and the girl quickly walked to the door. It was very dark inside the door. The girl immediately lit up two moon lanterns floating around her to illuminate.

Zhang Qiling held the girl behind him and looked inside. Although there was a moonlight shining on him, the situation inside the door was still unclear because it was filled with thick foam-like fog. Even with the light He couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, but at the same time he didn't feel any danger, so he pulled the girl into the cave.

As he entered the hole, Zhang Qiling raised the arm holding the knife and stuck out the handle of the knife to feel the size of the cave. He found that the place was not very big, and the handle of the knife had already touched the top of the cave without even straightening his arm. , he stretched his arm to the cave wall on one side, and the arm could not be straightened either. From this point of view, the size of this hole could only accommodate two people standing at a time, and his figure and the petite girl began to walk inside. , there is still a lot of room left.

As soon as the two of them stood firm, the four-image jade door behind them closed with a bang. This situation was very common for Zhang Qiling, but for the little girl, this movement was still too sudden. In a flash, she hugged his arm.

In this way, the two people groped and walked cautiously for a short distance in. They clearly felt that the road gradually became wider, the white fog also became thinner, and they could vaguely see a glimmer of light.

As we continue to move forward, the surrounding fog gradually disperses, and the light becomes brighter and brighter. The light around the cave turns out to be emitted from the rock wall. The light is soft and not dazzling, and is very similar to the girl's spiritual light. .

Zhang Qiling observed the surroundings and found that the top, bottom, left, and right were filled with the most special citrine spiritual stones in Qilin City. At this moment, he and the girl should have been in a mountain of citrine spiritual stones.

It was obviously the first time that the girl had seen such a large citrine spirit stone, and she said with a surprised look on her face: "This material is the only non-attributed spiritual stone in Qilin City. My spiritual stone bed has always been the only one in Qilin City." It’s made of the same material as the time-space mirror I discovered before, but I still don’t know where it comes from. It turns out that all these citrine spiritual stones are here.”

Zhang Qiling saw a cave entrance not far away that led to an unknown direction. He said, "Let's go." He took the girl and walked towards the cave entrance.

The two of them continued walking inside for a short distance, and Zhang Qiling stopped, because from here on, the topaz spirit stones under his feet no longer had the texture of natural stones, but turned into pieces of stone that had been carefully carved manually. It looks like bricks, and the spiritual stones on the top and sides of the head are also carefully carved in this way. Different from the ground, there are some patterns of auspicious clouds on it. It is obviously a corridor.

Zhang Qiling took the girl and continued to move forward. After walking for a short distance, he saw a doorway in front of him, and the corridor began to widen. The carvings on both sides changed from brick patterns to murals, all about planting. content.

When the two of them reached a crossroads with roads both front and back, the little girl tugged on his sleeve and said, "Brother, do you think this place looks like..."

"Tomb." Zhang Qiling answered before the girl could say it.

The girl said: "You have also seen it, so it must be the case. The special citrine spirit stone mountain is used as a tomb, and it is hidden so deeply. There must be something important hidden here. The dragon body exists here because he has no attributes. The carrier of psychic energy, I feel that many things with non-attributed psychic energy may be stored here, but if there is such an important thing here, then it can’t really be anything.”

Zhang Qiling asked: "Where is the dragon's position?"

The girl replied: "Go a little further, and then go down." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qiling picked up the little girl and continued walking inside.

Not far ahead, a staircase appeared in front, and a large door with a carved frame came into view. The carvings on the door frame were exactly the same as the four mythical beasts on the Four Elephants Jade Wall. There were many colored spiritual stones and various small shells around the mythical beasts. I haven’t looked at the specific astrological chart it forms, but it should be 28 constellations.

After entering, we saw an octagonal stone chamber with a vault at the top. Eight large pillars with reliefs of unicorns riding on the clouds stood at the eight pointed corners. Engraved on the vault was a Bagua. Directly below the Bagua A large octagonal platform, with a circular platform in the middle, and a Tai Chi diagram on top of the circle.

We went over to take a look and found that there were four strange grooves in the middle of Tai Chi. The girl looked at it and said to him: "Brother, the two grooves on the yin are the same size, and the two grooves on the yang are also the same size. They are the same, but the two on the yin side are much smaller than the two on the yang side. There is no other door here except the entrance, so it seems that some mechanism must be triggered."

After Zhang Qiling came in, he discovered that this place had many similarities with the tombs in the human world, but they were also very different. However, a tomb is a tomb after all, and traps are inevitable. As the girl said, this tomb obviously only has an entrance and no other doors. , there must be several levels, and this special Tai Chi diagram in front of you should be the location of the mechanism.

If I guessed correctly, this should be the tomb of the little girl’s ancestors, and also the spiritual energy treasure house left here by the ancestors. Whether it is the citrine spirit stone here or the dragon body that is being searched for at the moment, it is a healing practice for the descendants of Qilin City Lord. The treasures used must be the Lord of Qilin City and the people he trusts who can come here.

According to what Xue Feng said, the people who came here before include the two old people who have not yet met the current owners of this place, as well as the first generation Lord of Qilin City and the Lord of Ziyu Palace Zi Yan. The first generation and Zi Yan should be alone The two old men came here together. Whether one person or two people came here, what they had in common was that they all entered this place.

At this moment, I and the girl are also a combination of a man and a woman. The mechanism is Tai Chi, Yin and Yang...

Zhang Qiling looked at the groove on Tai Chi, took a step forward, put an arm around the slender waist of the girl who was looking at Tai Chi in a daze, turned her around and held her in his arms. She put her on top of the Yin attribute and said to her: "Step on it." The girl put the toes of her dangling little feet into the grooves. Zhang Qiling let go of his arms and let the girl's little feet wearing embroidered shoes completely step on the two grooves. He immediately stood in the Yang-type groove on the opposite side, hugged the girl's little body tightly, and observed the movements around her.

I saw the Bagua above the two people and the octagonal platform under their feet began to rotate. The Tai Chi under their feet was emitting a pale golden light, which was slightly dazzling, and there was the sound of friction between metal gears and chains.

Suddenly, a carved golden ball connected to a metal chain fell from the middle of his head. Zhang Qiling looked at it and shouted, "Girl."

I looked up and felt that my brother was telling me to pull the ball. I reached out and grabbed the chain on the carved gold ball, and my brother said: "One, two, three, pull."

I held his waist tightly with one hand and held his belt tightly with my other hand. The moment he shouted the word "pull" with the other hand, I pulled the chain, and with a "swish" at our feet, it was empty. , the feeling was so exciting that I, who was afraid of heights, was instantly frightened and fainted by the feeling of weightlessness.

Zhang Qiling found that the girl had fainted, and hugged him tighter. He looked down attentively. He saw a field of sparkling water. Just as he thought, there was indeed water below, but what he was worried about at the moment was the girl who had passed out. Girl, after falling into the water, she will definitely sink. She will probably choke on the water. He needs to float up as quickly as possible. In order to facilitate his movement, when he can see the river bank, he throws the knife down first and protects the girl. , he took a big breath, reached out and pinched the girl's nose, and then heard a "plop" and the two of them fell into the water.

The water was very deep and cold. When they got into the water, the two of them sank and were swept down by the current. Zhang Qiling pushed hard into the water as soon as his body became more stable, and pulled the girl to swim upstream. The girl did not wake up, and she also She didn't know she had fallen into the water. When it was time to take a breath, her nose had already been pinched. She frowned as she couldn't breathe. Just when she was about to open her mouth to breathe, Zhang Qiling held the girl's head. , his mouth immediately pressed against hers, and he blew the breath that he had held in advance into her mouth. The girl's uncomfortable expression quickly relaxed. Zhang Qiling immediately took the girl's arm again and dragged her body towards her. Float on the water.

After getting out of the water and reaching the shore, I quickly checked the girl's condition and saw that her breathing was steady and there was no sign of choking on the water. I was relieved.

He looked around to check the surrounding situation and confirmed that it seemed to be safe. He let the girl lie on the shore first, went to retrieve the Qilin Golden Knife and put it beside him, then picked up the girl and held her in his arms.

I just heard my brother calling me gently: "Girl, girl." I could still clearly feel him caressing my face, and I should be lying against him.

I felt very cold, a bit cold, as if I had been soaked in water. My clothes seemed to stick to my body. I also heard the sound of water flowing.

I opened my eyes. This place was not as bright as before. It felt like a candle was lit. It was hazy and the light was much dimmed. I saw that my brother's hair and body were wet and dripping. There was a beam of light splashing down from the top of his head, the kind that only immortals can have. I couldn't help but said "Wow" and said with a silly smile: "It's so beautiful."

Zhang Qiling looked at the girl's silly look and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He helped her sit up and pinched her little face with one hand. At the same time, he moved his body a little so that she could see what was going on behind her. The girl was stunned for a moment before she regained her composure. When we came out, the light was exactly the light coming from the place where I and my brother fell. The hole was very big, very high and far away from us, and the golden light was shining on the water.

She said "Hmm" and finally saw it clearly and said, "Oh, we fell from there, right? Who designed this door? It's too high. It's almost like a bungee jump."

Although Zhang Qiling didn't understand what "bungee jumping" meant, he didn't care what it was. He said, "Other people will fly when they come down."

The girl frowned after hearing this, stared at him and said, "I can fly too."

Zhang Qiling turned to look at the pouty little face he was holding, looked at her with a faint look and sighed.

The little girl suddenly froze, as if she had just realized that she had fainted just now because of fear of heights. Not only did she not fly, but she didn't even know how she fell into the water and how she landed on the shore. She suddenly sipped in frustration and aggrieved. He opened his mouth and muttered: "Just now...I...brother, am I so stupid?"

Zhang Qiling heard that the little girl seemed to be complaining about him, so he let go of the hand holding her face, touched her little head and said, "No."

But the girl was still in a low mood. Zhang Qiling held her face and said to her seriously and solemnly: "Silly girl, as long as I'm here, you'll be fine." The little girl's face suddenly turned red.

Zhang Qiling comforted her for a moment, then picked up the knife, picked up the girl, and looked around. The girl sensed the dragon's position again and pointed out the direction. The two of them walked along the shore in the direction of the current. It became darker and darker in front of them, and there were people nearby. The wind blew until a strong gust of wind blew over, and she said, "Brother, the entrance to the cave is over there."

But at this moment, waves suddenly began to rise in the water, the roaring sound of the water became louder and louder, and the feet began to vibrate slightly, and the amplitude became larger and larger.

Zhang Qiling frowned and shouted: "Don't look back, run!" He picked up the girl and started running towards the cave where the wind came out.
