Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 319
After the coffin cover was opened, the layout of the coffin was revealed in front of our eyes.

Tofu and I were surprised that there are only four grids in such a large coffin chamber, and the coffin is placed in the center of the coffin chamber.

As I said before, the inner and outer coffin chambers are used to store funeral objects, and are generally divided into many grids. The more things to be buried with, the more grids there will be. Similarly, the outer and outer coffins will be larger.But the coffin in front of him is big enough, but there are only four grids inside.

The one near the top has a black honeycomb-shaped stone inside. At the honeycomb-shaped entrance, countless things can be vaguely seen crawling.Because the light was very close at this time, the thing crawling inside was very clear. It was a kind of thick-haired worm, densely packed, and the scalp was tight.

I realized at once that this might be the larva of one of those flying insects.

On the left side of the coffin chamber, there are several black objects. When I saw them, my heart was out of control, because they were a few hollow and exquisite balls the size of a fist.

They are the seven lamps I saw on the murals.

But something is wrong, the number of lights is not enough.

Two were missing, and there were only five lights in it.

On the top of the lamp, each has a different figure shape.The figure presents an inverted triangle, with a character engraved on each face, presumably representing the identity of the lamp.But these words are the same as the words on the wall before, and we don't know any of them.There should be someone he knows in Grandpa's team, otherwise he wouldn't have written that translation.

Tofu was surprised and said: "Two are missing, probably Lu Su and another person took it away. Tell me, which two did they take away?"

I shook my head, stared at the remaining five lamps, and said, "Wrong, you overlooked a very strange question. Let me ask you, if it were you, which lamp would you take?"

Tofu thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his head, showing a look of sudden realization, and jumped up and said, "Damn it, I'll definitely take it all away, who would think too much of such an awesome thing!"

Miss Gu is also beside us at this moment, her voice is a little weak, and she said: "Yes, this is a very strange question, why did you take two away?"

Tofu rubbed his chin and said, "Could it be because I couldn't carry it at that time?"

I shook my head and said, "Believe me, if the power of these seven lamps is real, even if you throw away your baggage, clothes, and everything, you won't throw them away."

Tofu speculated again: "Could it be that the legend about them is false? That's why I didn't take it?" I didn't say a word. Now, maybe this is the truth, and I don't have those seven abilities at all.Thinking about it, I know that that power is indeed too perverted. If it really exists, it would be a terrifying thing.After Tofu finished speaking, he reached out and randomly picked up one of them.Inside the hollowed-out sphere, there is a small sealed ball. There are many square patterns on the surface of the small ball, and there are several wicks around it to reveal the appearance of the lamp, but they are all made of iron.

In other words, this is a light-shaped thing.

Tofu couldn't guess which lamp it was, so he held the lamp and experimented: "Magic lamp, magic lamp, please grant me a wish. I want to live forever." What he made was the wish of giving birth to a lamp.I was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether to interrupt him or not.

After Tofu finished speaking, he scratched his head again, and said, "Longevity can't be tested for a while now." Then he continued: "I want to stay young forever... Hey, it seems that this can't be tested now."

Tofu said again: "I don't think there will be any disease."

Gu Wenmin interjected, "It seems like I can't try this."

Tofu scratched his head in embarrassment, and said shyly: "You can try this out, you don't understand." Then he turned around, and heard a rustling sound, apparently unbuttoning his pants. After a while, Tofu became angry Turning around, he said, "Neither! Go on."

He jumped over the dead light, pointed at the corpse in front of us, and said, "Make it come alive." Still no response, Tofu said again: "I want to be able to fly like Superman."

Still no response.

Tofu curled his lips, threw the 'ball', and said: "The proof is over, there is no magic power at all." These oddly shaped lamps are ordinary, and the black appearance is dull and old. It seems that the theory of magic lamps is only It is exaggerated and exaggerated.However, since these seven lamps can be contained in the coffin, even if they don't have any supernatural power, they probably have their own uniqueness.

At this time, our eyes moved to the right, where a long and narrow wooden box was placed, a bit like a knife box or sword box used to hold weapons in ancient times.

The box had some traces of corruption, and the copper lock seemed to have been damaged by the previous group of coffin openers. Tofu opened the wooden box, then took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "It's so fucking cool, it's a bronze handle. Big knife." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take the knife out of the box, but just halfway through it, a voice suddenly sounded behind us: "Don't touch it!"

It's Zhuanrui!
Everyone turned around, and it turned out to be Zhuan Rui and Zhong Gong. Tofu was so startled, he let go of his hand, and the knife returned to its original position.

Tofu said in surprise: "You are here, it's not a coincidence, you will regret coming in this ghost place after a while, you can come in, you can't get out of this place."

Zhuanrui and the others were in a panic, and even had bloody wounds on their bodies.He didn't respond to Tofu's words, but hurried between us and said, "This knife cannot be moved."

Tofu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Lord, you can't do this, you are so rich, and you still want to grab it from us. This knife belongs to me, and no one will give it to you."

On Zhuan Rui's handsome and ugly face, there was a very strange expression, like shock, like anger, and more, it was an inexplicable meaning, which made me a little vigilant.He ignored the tofu, but fixed his eyes on the knife in the wooden box, and said, "Do you know what this is?"

Tofu said: "Knife, ancient bronze knife, good thing." Although Tofu doesn't know how to palm, he knows the basic material. Bronze ware, the year is there, and it can't be lowered.

Zhuanrui looked at Tofu meaningfully, and said, "If you knew what kind of knife it is, you wouldn't want it." I sensed something was wrong, and said, "What do you mean? Is there something wrong with this knife?" Then, Zhuan Rui talked about the origin of the knife. After listening, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one dared to touch it again.

There are two most striking features that distinguish this knife, first: the knife does not have a sharp edge.Second: There is a dream map on the blade.

The so-called dream map is a subtle pattern, very abstract, it is nothing if you look carefully, but you have to scan roughly to see the mystery. We tried to glance up a few times, and we found the dream map.On the top, there is a person wearing a cloak lying on his side. The position above his head seems to show his dream. In the dream, there is a sleeping person. Similarly, that person is also dreaming, and then handed up one by one. At the end, there is a mess of patterns.

The first time Zhuan Rui entered the main tomb, he saw the knife in Tofu's hand. Naturally, he saw the pattern on the blade, and suddenly remembered the picture of Youmeng, so he immediately stopped it.

What's so special about the dream map on this knife?
It is said that this knife is related to Bao Gong. When Bao Gong punished rape and eliminated evil, he encountered ghosts and ghosts. When he was helpless, he had a dream one night. The person who holds this knife will immediately fall asleep with three souls, and leave the body with seven souls, and will never be able to wake up.

When Bao Gong woke up the next day, there was indeed a knife on the bedside, just like in the dream.He immediately took the knife to find the evil spirit, threw the knife away, and the evil spirit fell to the ground after following suit.

After subduing the evil spirits, Baogong thought that only he could move the knife. If someone else accidentally held it in his hand, wouldn't it harm the innocent?Thinking about it this way, he buried the knife together with the evil spirit and disappeared from sight.

After listening to Tofu, he was surprised and said, "You mean, this thing is Soul-Suppressing Dream Knife? Hey, why haven't I heard of it? Besides, isn't that knife buried? Why is it in this place again... ..." Before he finished speaking, Tofu was startled, looked at the coffin in the middle of the coffin, and said in surprise: "Damn it, it can't be the evil spirit that Master Bao buried here? Old Chen, my history is not very good. You do the math."

I calculated the time in my heart, Baogong was from the Northern Song Dynasty, about 1000 years ago, this time coincided with the time when the Earth Ghost King existed. up?No, since it is to bury evildoers, why build such a magnificent underground palace?Besides, in the Northern Song Dynasty, Bao Gong was not considered a high-ranking official, neither had the right nor the financial resources. What is going on?
Tofu also said: "There must be something wrong with this legend. This place is clearly the mass burial place of the Earth Ghost Clan. Could it be possible that Mr. Bao wiped out the entire Earth Ghost Clan?"

Zhuan Rui said nonchalantly: "The rural story is bound to be untrue. If you don't believe it, you can try it."

Tofu does not believe in evil, so try it if you say it. I have also tried the magical lamps that were blown just now, why didn’t I see any movement?The ancients liked to exaggerate, and they reached for the knife after speaking.At this time, Zhong Gong said coldly: "Let the contents inside out, you are responsible." Tofu is timid, coming and going quickly, Zhong Gong hesitated when he said this, and looked at me , showing a look of begging for help, and obviously said: Brother, quickly find me a step down.
