Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 280 Amazing Team

Zhuan Rui said: "The sixth lamp, the ghost lamp, does not refer to real ghosts, but to 'sly', which represents some strange powers, such as what we call supernatural powers, such as Superman, Spiderman... ..." Zhuan Rui made a simple analogy considering the IQ of Tofu.This 'strange' lamp actually means that people can obtain some inhuman strange powers.

The seventh lamp, the magic lamp, can only be used on the basis of gathering the first six lamps. It is said that this lamp can make people become immortals and gods.

Hearing this, I understood a little in my heart, and said, "Could it be that this team is looking for these seven lamps?"

Zhuanrui didn't answer me, but just showed a meaningful light smile. The combination of Qijun and Qihou's faces gave people a very strange feeling. He said: "The strange disappearance of Zimu Kingdom is the most widely circulated theory." Yes, it was an earthquake that destroyed the Zimu Kingdom. The city and people were buried, and the seven lamps were also buried underground. Of course, there are also sayings, it is said that these peoples from the underground returned to the underground , or return to hell. It is impossible to verify the truth of history, but this group of top players gathered together, but they are heading towards the seven lamps.

Thinking of what Jie An said before, my heart moved, and I said, "Master Wu Yan dug up a tree that grew upside down. Could it be related to Zimu Kingdom?"

At this time, Jie An happened to wake up, probably heard my words, coughed twice, and said: "You are now standing on the land that Zimu Kingdom used to be."

I looked at Zhuan Rui, and Zhuan Rui nodded.

The letter contained a lot of information. According to the letter, that weird tree was called the 'Ghost Tree of the Underworld', and it was a channel for the people of Zimu to communicate with the human world underground.Master Wu Yan accidentally dug up the ghost tree in Huangquan. What happened at that time that made him propose to the emperor to build the Yashan Palace to "suppress ghosts" is already unknown.

In short, it was very difficult for the person surnamed Bai to collect the information we know now. It took a lot of effort to even determine the location of the Zimu Kingdom site. Perhaps the relationship between Grandpa and Zhuan Donglai The time difference, those six years of vacancy, those people were just inquiring about the earth ghost clan.

It wasn't until six years later, after confirming that the Zimu country was located here, that person wrote a letter to grandpa.

When I heard this time, I had two thoughts in my heart. One is: Does grandpa also want to find the lamp?So which lamp was he looking for?Want to revive your son?Or want to live forever?Or want to gain power?The second is: This story sounds incredible. To be honest, I don’t believe that the seven lamps have such magical power. This is not Aladdin’s magic lamp. With my grandfather’s character, how can I believe such groundless things? ?

After Zhuan Rui finished speaking, I had a rough outline of the matter in my mind.

Everything originated from the seven lamps of the ghost king in the legend, and the reason why grandpa was tempted was probably because he had the mentality of giving it a try, guessing that he wanted to save his son, but he never returned.But Master Wu Yan was looking for the adamantine stone, and suddenly dug out the ghost tree of Huangquan in Zimu country. The Mountain Treasure Hall was used as a cover, and a team was left behind to guard it, including its own descendants.This group of people obeyed the precepts of their ancestors and multiplied in the mountains for generations, until someone started to attract the attention of the Yashan Palace, so Jie'an resisted.

Perhaps it was during this confrontation that something happened to Jie'an's son, which made Jie'an hate us outsiders even more.

And the key to the whole thing is that mysterious person surnamed Bai.

First of all, that person must be very famous or capable, otherwise it would be impossible to gather so many good hands, so I asked Zhuanrui if he knew who the person named Bai was.Zhuanrui said: "Before this, going back to the above, the surname Bai in the circle was respected by Bai Laosi, the master of the ghost king Chen Siyuan, but 20 years ago, Bai Laosi died long ago. At that time, there was really no one. The power is surnamed Bai."

Gu Wenmin was still quick-witted, she had been listening quietly, and now seeing us discussing the identity of a person surnamed Bai, she said softly: "Actually, Jie An must have seen that person." , how could you forget this?Everyone looked at Jie'an in unison.Due to excessive blood loss, his sallow skin looked a little blue. Zhong Gong had already given him food and water, and he had also used the best wound medicine in the team, which was fulfilling Zhuan Rui's previous promise.

When I thought of my grandfather and his group, they might have fallen for his tricks at the beginning, I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in my heart, and I could only temporarily suppress this anger, and asked Jie'an about my grandfather and his group of people Case.

Although I didn't express the deal that Jie'an mentioned before, I understand it now.They were originally guarding the Yashan treasure hall for generations, but after their son died tragically, Jie An probably had other thoughts in his heart, and he probably planned to abandon the ancestral teachings, and wanted to find the lamp that brought the dead back to life, so he wanted to partner with us, after all , Working in the underground ruins thousands of years ago is not something that an old man who doesn't know how to go to the ground can do.

Because of the transaction, Jie'an became cooperative and told the scene at that time.

First of all, the ghost fox does not completely create illusions for people. The "mirror world" it creates is a combination of reality and reality. If you use a metaphor, it can be simply understood as that it has the ability to stimulate spatial changes, such as It was impossible for the disappearing Yashan Palace to produce any physical memory, but it was produced because of the stimulation of the Yin-Yang Ghost Fox Mirror Realm.Therefore, those who died in the 'ghost hall' are real.

As for the grandfather and his party, they did not die in the ghost hall.They are all a group of experts, after a lot of tossing, they naturally saw that something was wrong with the 'Hall of Ghosts', and soon, someone found the stone tablet.That stone tablet is a boundary, just like the boundary that Zimu country prevents outsiders from entering.

It doesn't matter who discovered it. In short, Grandpa and his party did not die in the ghost hall.

They escaped, and there were a large number of them, and they did not give up.

At that time, Jie An was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was lonely and had two ghost foxes. It will no longer pose too much threat to grandpa and his group.Jie'an was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

For hundreds of years, personnel have changed, and Shangyao Village is no longer the old Shangyao Village. With the intermarriage of foreigners, economic development, and a series of changes in the times, many people have forgotten or even don’t know their mission. , just take this as a story.Strictly speaking, Jie'an is the last guardian of Yashan Palace.

And now, this guardian, also no longer exists, because he will cooperate with us.

This is the helplessness of history, nothing can resist the invasion of time.

At that time, Jie'an had no choice but to observe their grandfather's movements in secret.

Jie'an used one sentence to describe: In that team, everyone is a person with great ability, and they add up to form a team that reaches heaven and earth.They used various professional methods to locate, they were full of patience, they were courageous and resourceful, and they were almost invulnerable. After more than half a month of positioning, this group of people finally seemed to have settled on something, and began to dig holes in the ground with great fanfare. .

This time the project was very large. Since it was located in the deep mountains, there was no need to avoid people, so the caves were opened and closed. Strictly speaking, what Grandpa and the others dug was robbery caves.Robbery holes are different from ordinary burrows. This is the wisdom accumulated by generations of ancestors who dig mushrooms upside down. Through different sizes, shoveling methods, inclination angles, and combined with different terrains, the simplest but most effective Solid and practical hole.

This robbery cave is very deep, coupled with the subsidence of the Yashan Palace, many places have collapsed and mixed with the yellow mud, so there are many branches in the robbery cave, and it takes a very long time. moon.Only based on the situation of the treasure hall, can they judge the location of the ghost tree in the underworld.

Digging that tree means uncovering the mysterious veil that the earth ghosts have hidden for thousands of years.

Since Grandpa and the others had already gone to the ground, it was not conducive to surveillance, so Jie An followed far away at that time, trying to find an opportunity to deal with Grandpa and the others, but unfortunately, this opportunity never came, because Grandpa and the others disappeared just like that.

Due to following too far away, Jie An didn't know until some day that he suddenly realized that he could no longer find traces of grandpa and the others. That group of people whom he described as a group of people who reached heaven and earth evaporated like water.

Because of this, Jie'an was even more afraid of the underground palace, so he knew better that if he wanted to save his son, he might have no hope.

When I heard this, my heart sank and I asked, "You haven't told me what kind of person that leader is."

Jie An frowned, and said: "He is a very ordinary young man, very ordinary, very strange, I can't remember his specific face until now."

Zhuan Rui explained the mystery and said, "That man must have tampered with his face. It's useless even if you think about it. That's not his real face."

We didn't continue on this topic. Things have developed here, and many things have already taken shape.When the statement died, my grandfather was alone, progressing slowly, and there was no hope in front of me, so I pinned my hope on this halfway, but unexpectedly... I sighed, closed my eyes and calmed down my heart.Tofu patted me on the shoulder and said, "My condolences, at least we have made some progress, and it can be regarded as a comfort to Mr. Chen's spirit in heaven."

At this time, Jie An suddenly whistled, and a yellow-haired animal flashed through the forest and disappeared again.

Immediately afterwards, Jie An said: "The mirror world is gone, I need to recuperate, and I will take you to the ground the day after tomorrow."
