The Most Thrilling Tomb Tour: Tomb Raider

Chapter 7: The Living Dead (1)
I ignored him and carefully observed the strangely dressed man in front of me.His nose is hanging, his eyes are lightly closed, his cheeks are rosy, his skin is like jasper, and his white eyebrows are full. If the fat man hadn't stretched out his hand to check his breath, he would have confirmed that he was a dead person, as if he would wake up at any moment. Damn, I think the so-called "he-haired and child-like immortals" by the ancients are just like this, right?
Not counting these, the most eye-catching thing is the purple gold crown with silver hair around his head.To say that it is a Zijin crown is just a false indication of the ancients' preference for a certain crown, and it does not mean that this crown is made of Zijin.But this one on his head, I can't even think of it.The frame made of plain white lotus flower edges is covered with a thin layer of silver-like net, and a small golden seat on the top of the crown is inlaid with a bright sapphire. It is exquisite to the extreme, which is amazing.

The fat man hadn't noticed the hair crown yet, and he was touching his body, making a "tsk tsk" sound.I would have thought he was gay if he hadn't acted like an absolute dude.I hurriedly called him to stop, lest he touch this jade-faced corpse that might only be found in myths and legends.

I saw that the corpse was wearing an even more rare and exotic costume.Its style is the same as that of the ancients, but the material is something we have never seen before.To put it bluntly, this material is like a flawless white feather, covering his body in a dense manner.The softness of these "feathers" has never been seen before. I just sneezed with my hand covering my nose three feet away from it, and they floated up under the influence of these fine air currents, as if the corpse Will fly anytime.

"What kind of clothes are these?" the fat man asked me, and Xiang Ru also looked at me puzzled.

"I don't know either, but I think if the 'Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes' that the ancients called really existed, it would probably be this, maybe not as good as it!" I thought for a while and said.

"Neon clothes and feather clothes" is a kind of costume worn by court dancers in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that it was introduced from the Western Regions during the prosperous Kaiyuan period.Bai Juyi once wrote in his "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song": "Thousands of songs and dances are countless, but the neon clothes dance is my favorite... The dancer Yan Ruyu doesn't wear other people's customary clothes." It can be seen that the old man wearing such rare clothes has an absolute history. No small matter.

I couldn't help admiring this exquisite and peerless ancient corpse with Xiang Ru, and said something to Xiang Ru, which can really sum up the situation: "This thing only exists in the sky, and it's rare to hear it in the world. !” I couldn’t stop applauding from the bottom of my heart.

"Ha, it's easy for me to find your little master! So you are here! I said grandson, come and see, this is the bead we are looking for, right?" It's a trick, adding a "small" in front of my surname is not counted, but also adding a "zi" at the end, making Xiangru laugh non-stop, it's really pissing me off.

"You're still 'Pan Dongzi'!" I wanted to say that in a tit-for-tat manner, but looking at the ping-pong ball-sized bead glowing blue in his palm, I said something to beautify him, He froze there for a moment.

The bead was crystal clear, with a hint of light blue, and it could be seen that there was something like a wisp of green smoke inside. The fat man held it in his hand, emitting a faint blue light that was captivating.

"Where did you find it?" The three of us were stunned for a long time before I reacted and asked the fat man.

"This can't trouble your little master, what kind of brains are we, right?" Before the fat man answered, he must first "heroize" himself with brazen words, and then said: "Just now I saw his mouth slightly A tiny slit, I knew there was something good inside, so I quickly pried it open, and this guy was exposed. Hehe! It really took no effort at all!" said the fat man proudly.

He was right, and if this bead was the one his cousin's friend asked for, then we might as well say so.Because I thought that we would have to go through many obstacles and return empty-handed, but now I think it was just a little bit of effort and footwork when we came here.

The fat man handed me the bead for me to take a closer look, while he himself went to pull the purple gold crown from the head of the ancient corpse in front of him.Seeing this, I hurriedly stopped him: "Wait! Do you know who this is?"

"I don't care who he is? Isn't he Qin Shihuang?" The fat man asked me instead, and even Xiang Ru laughed at him with his brains.

"Your Qin Shihuang looks like this. Besides, did I tell you that he is Qin Shihuang?" I said dumbfounded.

"I don't know that you are your young master? Tell you, I have read two of this book!" Fatty said this with a little modesty, and then said: "There is a book that said that Qin Shihuang sent a man named Xu Fu Is your kid going to the East China Sea to seek immortality? I guess he is seeking immortality!" After saying that, he pointed at the ancient corpse in front of him.

What he said reminded me that just from the clothes, it is impossible to tell what era he is in.Because after Qin Shihuang unified the world, he only stipulated the color of clothing.He believes that in the Zhou Dynasty, "fire is better than gold, and color is red." Then Qin Shengzhou took the virtue of water, and his color was black.Therefore, it is inaccurate to place him in the Qin Dynasty based on the strange costumes on this ancient corpse. The degree is like a living person. To put it bluntly, he is simply a living dead person, so it is even more difficult to determine his age.

This ancient corpse was preserved until now because of this clear orb in its mouth.The ancients liked to contain some biyu, orbs, etc. in the corpse, thinking that this would help preserve the corpse for a longer period of time.During the period of the Republic of China, there was a warlord, Sun Dianying, who robbed the tombs of many Qing emperors and the Empress Dowager Cixi, and stole countless treasures. Was it because of a priceless luminous pearl that people dubbed it the "Tanglin Thief"?Want to talk about tomb robbery?The most famous one should not be Cao Cao, but him.A small luminous pearl kept Cixi's body intact for decades until it was pried away by that guy.Such a big orb, which kept the corpse of the living dead intact until now, must be the water-avoiding orb in the eternal legend. Who knows how many years he has been dead?

But the story that Fatty told came from "Historical Records.In "The Chronicle of Qin Shihuang", there is such a thing.According to legend, there are three fairy islands in the East China Sea, Fusang, Yingzhou, and Penglai. Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to take three thousand boys and girls to visit these fairy islands in a big boat, hoping to find the medicine of immortality.But since ancient times, who has never died? !When he was about to die, he was still brooding over this matter, and simply set his position after death to face the east. In order to show the majesty of his Vega and the sea, the ancient emperors always faced the north and the south, and the south was the most noble.However, because Qin Shihuang never forgot about Xu Fu and the others who went to the East China Sea and never returned, he orientated his mausoleum to the east-west direction, which shows his obsession with seeking immortality.

There is also a legend that said that after Qin Shihuang pacified the world, he visited the east and met a dead body drifting in the East China Sea.The appearance of the corpse was estimated to be comparable to that of the corpse in front of him. Qin Shihuang saw that his face was peaceful, and he followed in the sea but did not touch any water on his body, so he decided that he was the fairy in the legend. The body was released back into the sea.

I might as well speculate boldly according to Fatty's logic and imagination. If this legend is true, then the corpse in front of me is likely to be the immortal worshiped by Qin Shihuang in this legend!Or he is—Xu Fu!
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, I just wanted to take this peerless orb in front of me and hurry back to do business.But the fat man didn't take it seriously after hearing my analysis, and still wanted to pick the purple gold crown.

"Let's go quickly!" The ominous premonition came from all directions, and I hurriedly stopped him.

"What are you panicking about? Are you scared when you meet an old rice dumpling?!" I heard the meaning of "Zongzi" the fat man said.But I think that Chinese people always pay attention to "the death of a person is the greatest", that is to say, since a person is dead, he should not be disrespected to him. Besides, we can go back to do business with this jewel in our hands. Snake Tunxiang "Isn't it? !
I got into an argument with the fat man, and Xiang Ru persuaded me back and forth.

"Cuckoo"!
Suddenly, many huge bubbles burst out from the pool next to it, like a bottomless spring gushing with spring water.The blisters were getting bigger and bigger, we were all stunned by the sight, stopped arguing, and stood there in a daze.

"puff"!When the ground hit the ground, a huge jet of water spewed out from the pool, rushed to the roof of the cave, splashed down and drenched us like drowned rats.

"Look!" Someone yelled, I wiped my face and looked, do I still need to look?After the water column passed, the bottom of the pool "crashed" and turned up a big wave like the sea, and suddenly a huge monster climbed out, standing in front of us like a mountain!

This dark brown guy has a cow-like head, but this one is not known how many times bigger than a bull's head.There are some lumpy sarcomas growing on the head, and a thick and long horn grows on each of the two huge sarcomas at both ends of the head.Carrying a hard armor-like shell on its back, it is covered with rock-like edges and corners.

It may be that our quarrel just now was too noisy, so that we quarreled out of the bottomless pool. He was staring at us, the uninvited guests, with two big fireball-like red eyeballs. We breathed out bursts of damp chill.

"What is this guy?" The fat man asked me, poking me.

"I don't know, it looks like a giant sea turtle, a giant sea turtle!" I've seen quite a few hundred and eighty-pound sea turtles, but this is the first time I've seen such a terrifying and hideous behemoth.Not to mention that I have never seen such a thing, I believe there will not be many people in the world who have seen it. The "several people" I am talking about refer to the corpses lying on the road when I came here.A thread gradually became clear in my mind, but I didn't have the time to think about it so much. Seeing that the giant tortoise was not friendly, I quickly pulled Xiang Ru and Fatty who were standing there in a daze, and ran away.

Unexpectedly, this giant tortoise reacted very quickly. We just ran around the water pool to the entrance of the cave, and it swept us away with its huge tail that lay behind the entrance of the cave. I pushed Xiangru and Fatty aside, However, he was hit by his tail and fell back to the ground, his chest was filled with unspeakable pain.

Xiangru and Fatty wanted to come forward to save me, but the giant tortoise turned around and bit Fatty and Xiangru with its big mouth bigger than a blood basin, and my heart was already in my throat.The fat man dragged Xiang Ru back a few steps at a fast speed, the giant tortoise bit the rock covered with crystals violently, and the whole cave trembled with a "boom".

The giant tortoise may have become angry from embarrassment, and suddenly raised its neck as thick as a big tree and let out a long roar. The low and loud roar made us cover our ears immediately, and the rocks on the top of the cave were shaken and fell, and the big mouth came out. A gust of wind blows towards the face with a stench, which makes people want to vomit.
