Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 264
Most people have this experience, that is, we can clearly recall the appearance of people around us, but when recalling our own appearance, it is relatively vague.The human skin grew on my face before, although I have looked in the mirror a few times, but because I look at myself, the specific impression of the human skin is very vague. On the contrary, it is Tofu and Gu Wenmin, because the two People have a close relationship with me. After my face was covered with human skin, they would inevitably look at me more out of worry or other psychology. Naturally, the face of that piece of human skin will be clearly recorded by them, so Tofu just now That's why he suddenly said that.

This kid spoke a little thoughtlessly, which made me misunderstand him and thought he was talking nonsense again.

At this moment, when I calmed down and observed carefully, the blurred portrait of the human skin in my memory was immediately equated with the person on the mural who was dismembered by ghosts.

In an instant, human feet, eyeballs, human skin, these things kept flashing in my mind, and finally they all converged on this mural. I suddenly had an idea: Could it be that what is painted on this mural is not an illusion? , but real events?Could it be that the dangling human feet, peeping eyeballs, and human skin on my face I saw before belong to the people in the mural?

Obviously, I was not the only one who thought of this, and everyone's faces changed. After a while, Tofu spoke first. He couldn't hold back his words, and asked, "You say, is the thing painted on it true?" ? Could there really be a group of ghosts dismembering their corpses?" No one answered him. In fact, Zhuan Rui's handsome and ugly face had already darkened at this moment.

A group of ghosts divided into corpses.

What does this picture mean?Is it a warning?

If we continue to stay, will we end up like this?
Gu Wenmin shook her head and said, "It's too cruel. What did the people above do wrong to be treated like this?"

Tofu shrank his neck and said, "Ghosts harm people, do you still need a reason?"

Gu Wenmin's beautiful face sank, and she said: "I think that although there are ghosts, they are rare after all. It's too bizarre to divide a group of ghosts into corpses. Could it be that this is just a symbol, and the people on the murals are actually ghosts? Was it artificially dismembered?" Her words were artificially dismembered, and in my ears, I suddenly remembered something.

In Grandpa's notes, there was a record of a kind of "game", called the double-corpse land evil game.This is an extremely insidious trick. According to legend, it comes from an evil religion in the ancient Western Regions. The so-called double-corpse land evil is most commonly used in yin and yang houses.The so-called yangzhai refers to the dwelling of living people in a narrow sense, and refers to all ground buildings in a broad sense.The yin house refers to the residence of the dead, which is naturally the catacombs.

We often talk about mausoleums. In fact, tombs refer to the parts buried under the soil, that is, underground palaces, while mausoleums refer to buildings on the surface, such as the Ming Tombs of the Qing Dynasty. There are countless palaces built on the ground. The palace servants who are in charge of serving the dead ancestors prepare meals, baths, clothes and other matters for the souls of the non-existent tomb owners every day in accordance with the rules of death as life.

The two corpses are an extremely sinister trick, that is, a man and a woman are divided into corpses, and the parts that are separated are buried in five directions of the building, and then raised with secret techniques to form a double corpse. The owner of the tomb keeps watch.It is said that the men and women who are victimized by this game will not be reborn forever, and will suffer from dismemberment day and night.

If this game is used in the Yangzhai, it is a technique to harm people, the living people who live here will suffer great disasters, even if they visit here, they will not be guaranteed to die.

What Gu Wenmin said just now reminded me, my heart skipped a beat, and I said: Could it be that this is a two-corpse situation?I told everyone about the doorway here, and seeing Tofu sympathized, he said: "Then this couple died too badly, hey, but there are only men on this mural." I said: "In the past, men and women were more concerned Right, the left is superior and the right is inferior, the picture here is a man, presumably the picture on the opposite side is a woman." In order to verify this idea, we immediately went to the opposite side, and as expected, on the opposite wall, what we saw was a Dismembered woman.

Zhuanrui glanced at me, then looked at me, and said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. We have finally gained something. Now that you know the way, it will be easy. We will follow your instructions on what to do next." .”

I gave a wry smile and said, "I don't know much about these two dead bodies, but one thing is for sure, the man and woman who were dismembered are already eyeing us. We can't rush, we have to think carefully." countermeasures."

At this time, I heard Tofu say: "Then are we in the yin house or the yang house now?"

I didn't expect him to ask such a question, and it really stumped us for a while.According to the architectural specifications of the Yashan Palace, this is naturally a Yangzhai. Even though it is said to be a place for ghosts and gods to come and go, it still belongs to the category of Yangzhai.It's just that the Yashan Treasure Hall obviously no longer exists, and the place we are now, from a superstitious point of view, is a ghost ship-like spirit formed by the Treasure Hall over time, and from a scientific point of view, it is the memory of objects, then it Is it still a mansion?
Seeing that I couldn't answer, Tofu rubbed his chin and said, "I think there is something wrong with this matter. Let's not care whether it is a Yang Zhai or a Yin Zhai now. When it was built, it must have been a Yang Zhai. According to what you said, there are two corpses in the Yang Zhai." The bureau is designed to harm others, so who is it harming?"

Gu Wenmin tilted her head and said softly, "Of course they are the ones who entered this treasure hall."

Tofu asked: "Why don't people enter this treasure hall?"

Gu Wenmin was momentarily stopped by the question.

Zhuan Rui seemed to have thought of something, clicked his tongue, and suddenly smiled, but his disfigured half of his face happened to be facing me, so this smile made people panic, and seeing Zhuan Rui's eyes burning, looking at us, Said: "Because this treasure hall is a place for ghosts to come and go, ordinary people are forbidden to enter."

Tofu's thinking became active, and he said: "Since this is a place where ghosts come and go, why do you need to set up a place where two corpses come and go?"

Suddenly, an answer came out, and Gu Wenmin lost his voice: "Could it be that the legend about the Yashan Palace is false?"

This question and answer is actually a set of very strict speculation.Everyone is not a fool, and suddenly understood.

I sorted out the context of the whole matter, and analyzed: "That's right, the saying that the Yashan Palace is a place for ghosts to come and go is likely to be a cover fabricated by the builders at that time to cover up the truth. Behind it, there must be other secrets hidden, so we set up a double corpse to protect it."

Zhuan Rui regained his composure, and said sinisterly, "It seems that Chen Siyuan, the ghost king, came here because of this secret."

Tofu looked smug, as if I had discovered something amazing, and everyone came to praise me. After a while, seeing that we didn't pay attention to him, he immediately looked disappointed and said, "Did you forget something?"

Miss Gu has been with us for a long time, and she has a perfect understanding. When she heard the words, she slapped her forehead and acted suddenly enlightened, and said, "Ah, yes, it is thanks to Xiao Dou that you can discover the truth. You are so smart, you are worthy of being an artist." After being held in such a hug, Tofu was a little flustered, with a smirk on his face, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "It's a small thing. Okay, everyone, don't waste time, um, we should think about how to deal with this evil situation of two corpses. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at me, and I could only confess everything I knew.

The situation of the two corpses in the earth, borrowing the energy of the earth to nourish the tragic death of the twin corpses, and according to the different water and soil in each place, the nourished twin corpses have different abilities. To solve it, you must dig out the parts of the corpses scattered in various places, gather them and burn them. , Only then can the earth's evil situation be broken.Tofu heard the words and asked: "After the two corpses are broken, can the male and female corpses be reborn?"

I shook my head, thinking that this grandpa didn't write it on it, and said: "Theoretically, it's like this. Whether we can be reborn or not is out of our consideration."

Tofu glanced at the woman who had been quartered alive on the wall, and immediately said: "We have to break the situation of the two corpses, not only for our own safety, but also for this pair of men and women who died tragically. Old Chen, tell me!" , what to do next."

I said, "Look for the scattered corpses."

Zhuanji asked, "Where can I find it?"

"The layout of the building or the underground palace is different, so the location of the burial is naturally different. We must first figure out the layout of the entire Yashan Palace before we can know where we are looking." Of course I know, this is a bit nonsense, because we can't even get out of this hall now, let alone find out the specifications of Yashan Treasure Hall.

I'm afraid that as soon as we leave this hall, we will be killed by that poisonous snake and those two corpses.Before, a piece of human skin covered my face, what will come next?No one can imagine.

For a while, the situation reached a stalemate, and things returned to the original point. If we want to proceed with the next action, we must first find out the reason. Why are poisonous snakes and human skin lanterns afraid of this side hall?There is a saying in old age that no matter how powerful ghosts are, they all have a common weakness, which is the fear of facing their own death.

For example, a person who died by jumping off a building turned into a soft rice dumpling, it may be very powerful, but if one day, it happens to see someone jumping off a building, then this scene will arouse its memory of death, making the 'ghost' This intangible and intangible thing also gave birth to fear.

Of course, these are just some rural sayings, and it is not known whether this is the case.
