Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 76

The tingling pain from my hand drove me into a state of madness. I didn’t know where the strength came from. I grabbed the leg of this little thing and threw it to the ground desperately. The little thing let out a scream, and then became more and more crazy Counterattacking, I speeded up and threw it to the ground even faster, until the head burst open, and blood and a stream of thick liquid splashed out at the same time...

Finally, the little thing didn’t move, and boldly poked it with his fingers, but it still didn’t move, its protruding eyes were still staring fixedly, and they didn’t close. Looking carefully, it turned out that it had no eyelids, probably the same as a fish’s eyelids. Same, I won’t close my eyes, I finally relaxed, sat down on the ground, panting, looked up, Lao Jiu was still fighting with another one, maybe it was the death of this one The little thing was stimulated, and the attack of that little thing was extremely fierce. It stretched out its claws and attacked Lao Jiu's eyes. Several times, the sharp claws brushed against Lao Jiu's eyeballs, and everyone who watched felt thrilled .

Lao Jiu's skinny body avoided several times lightly. Seeing that I was still sitting on the ground, he couldn't help shouting: "Ge, why don't you come over and help?!"

Nearly collapsed, I struggled to get up and glanced at the oxygen tank on the ground. I made a plan, picked it up and hit the little thing that was jumping freely in the air. With a "boom", the little thing The thing was hit straight, Lao Jiu was out of breath, and gave me a thumbs up, this is not the final result, Lao Jiu took out a knife and stabbed the little thing in the head with a knife!

Now it's really over, I let out a long breath, and looked around vigilantly, lest a few more would come out, our current strength is not enough to deal with any situation, Lao Jiu also sat down on the ground: " The lifeblood of these little things is in the head, not the heart."

Yes, all those hit on the head will die immediately, but those hit on other places can still move. I hit a shock zero, no, there is another one!
Just now, one of them was just shot in the leg by me. Now, I looked around at the corpses on the ground, and it was gone...

"What's the matter?" Lao Jiu recovered first, walked over and asked.

"One is missing." I said, "I don't know where it went."

Lao Jiu walked up to the dead one and pressed its body with his hands: "So soft, so soft, the bones are about as thin as a toothpick, looking hard, I didn't expect it to be so soft, no wonder it can disappear in an instant, just like a mouse Similarly, as long as there is a gap, you can drill anywhere, Lin Tianyi, come and have a look?"

I waved my hand. They looked like babies. Seeing their miserable state, my heart began to twitch inexplicably. Thinking of my madness just now, I was also afraid for a while. When people are eager to save their lives, the instinct to burst out is too terrifying. Taking a breath, I was a little disappointed in myself, but at the same time I was a little glad that I was still alive, let out a long breath, and said: "It doesn't matter, that little thing can go wherever it should go, anyway, it will suffer Injured, the situation is not much better."

Lao Jiu nodded with his chin, indicating to me to look at the coffin. I turned around and saw that the coffin was exactly the same as the catacomb in the desert. I rubbed my eyes. Yes, it was exactly the same. Look, it is clear now that there is also a coffin on the round platform below. The shape and size of the coffin are exactly the same as those in the desert!
Immediately, I regained my energy and walked towards the coffin. When I got closer, there was also a fresh scent of sawdust. Lao Jiu took a look and said, "As expected, people from the Qinghu Society have come up, and the coffin nails have been removed."

This is how the coffin lid was gently covered on the coffin. Lao Jiu picked up the coffin lid. The person inside was also wearing a white robe. The corpse was dry, but there was no smell at all. His death was very peaceful, and his hands naturally moved. It hangs down on both sides of the body, and the skin looks fuller than that of the desert. Due to the loss of water, it is naturally shriveled. The eyes are closed, and the mouth looks loose. There are no obvious scars outside the white robe. , because it is a mummy, there is no way to judge his age.

"It's exactly the same, Lin Tianyi." Lao Jiu thoughtfully, quickly untied the robe on the mummy, and then said in doubt: "No, it's not exactly the same, the ribs of this mummy are not broken, nor is the chest cut open , There is no problem with the heart, unlike the one in the desert."

In the mummy in the desert, not to mention all the ribs were broken, the chest was also cut open, and the heart was separated from the body. Tao Ran analyzed the wound, the heart was artificially torn out, and the ribs were broken before he was alive. All kinds of incredible things. .

"The same white robe." I murmured, and my heart moved. We ignored the white robe last time we were there, and the same mourning clothes appearing now, can't it be a coincidence?
I checked the white robe carefully, and found a logo on it, and Lao Jiu also moved his head over: "All the stars support the moon."

That's right, it's a pattern of stars arching the moon, "six stars and a moon, the moon refers to Xiang Yu, and the six stars refer to six counselors." I said, "the pattern on this clothes still has a meaning. , Lao Jiu, what do you think?"

"I think the problem is serious." Lao Jiu began to search around in the coffin, not even letting go of the important parts of the mummy. He found the broken jade at the same place last time: "There is nothing, we are going to open it this time." The water is floating."

It suddenly occurred to me that there was a jade pattern on the back of the coffin lid last time, that is, the pattern on the broken jade. I hurriedly checked the coffin lid on the ground. One suffered in life and suffered in death, and this one passed away peacefully, much calmer.

Lao Jiu stepped aside dejectedly: "Could it be that Qinghu will take it away? It doesn't make sense. Why do they want to smash Yu's idea? It doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense."

As long as the Qinghu Club is involved, Lao Jiu will be much older. The matter of the Qinghu Club is a big stone on his heart. It is difficult to relax. Lao Jiu put his hands on his hips and looked around. There is nothing else, clean and tidy, in this case, there must be a reason for letting yourself sink to the bottom of the sea.

"Old Nine, don't be depressed, I think we can dig deeper into this person's identity." I said.

"It's useless, look here, there is no stone carving, no inscription, we don't know anything except the pattern on the white robe." Lao Jiu said: "Just knowing that he is one of the six counselors is not enough. "

"No, the county annals, we need to check the county annals again." I said, "If you can go out, this person can do such a big project under the sea, he must be rich and mobilize people, this place used to be a barbarian Such an event is considered a big event, and it may be recorded."

Nanyue was classified as a land of barbarians in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and such a place is easy to search. Lao Jiu's eyes lit up: "That's right, Lin Tianyi, your calmness really helped a lot."

After such a psychological comfort, Lao Jiu was much more relieved, and asked, "Aren't you in pain?"

Of course the hand hurts, but I just didn't care about it just now, but now I looked down, and a piece of meat was bitten off the back of the hand!

Lao Jiu rummaged around, and there was really no medicine to deal with. We took off our diving suits and threw them where we dropped them just now. For safety reasons, although we brought oxygen cylinders, we had to resurface. I can't do it without a diving suit. Now that the situation here has been clarified, I just need to find the way out. Lao Jiu tore off a piece of my clothes and bandaged the wound for me: "Be patient, go out and solve it."

"It's okay, this kind of injury is nothing." I just said casually: "As long as it is not poisonous, it will be fine."

Lao Jiu's face sank, and he said seriously: "I dare not speak now."

I stared at the tightly bound hands, smiled wryly, and said, "This coffin is not a gloomy wood, how can the corpse not rot?"

Lao Jiu smiled: "I have an idea, I can confirm it first, have you heard of the corpse flower?"

"I've heard of this thing, and some people call it stinking corpse konjac, and some people call it corpse fragrance konjac. This kind of flower is the largest flower in the world. After the corolla unfolds, the reddish-purple flowers will continue to bloom for a few days. , the smell of corpses will also increase sharply. When the flowers wither, the plant enters the dormant period again. And it emits a smell like a rotting corpse. According to people who have seen it with their own eyes, it is a It’s a very showy plant, but it doesn’t grow in the east, it’s said to be found only in Sumatra.” I said, “What does this have to do with the incorruption of this corpse?”

"In fact, this thing is not only found in the West, but also in the East." Lao Jiu said: "I heard that the place where it grows is in a coffin made of Kunlun Shenmu. When it blooms, it will have a strange fragrance, which makes people feel Illusion, so many strange people plant a living plant in the tomb of strange people, and use it to prevent theft. However, if the withered petals are ground into powder and swallowed, it can produce a strange effect, making the corpse not rot, but it is extinct. Yes, I have been robbing tombs for so many years, and I have never encountered them once. I have never encountered powder, let alone alive. I doubt that these two corpses are not decomposed. Is it related to corpse flowers? , that's normal, but the powder is not as good as live embalming, so it can only achieve the effect of mummy."

This is the first time I heard this kind of statement, and I was very surprised: "Corpse flower, its flower language is to die, which is really appropriate. But it is amazing enough to die without decay. It would be nice to see a living one someday." .”

Lao Jiu shook his head: "It's better not to see him."

I looked at this mummy and wondered what would happen if the stomach was opened now. As soon as this evil thought came out, I shook my head. They are all dead for thousands of years. What are you thinking about?

Lao Jiu woke up from some judgments: "By the way, this is probably the end, we have to find a way out now, why do I feel that something is missing?"

I smiled slightly: "Yes, there is something missing."
