Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 399
The words left by Bai Zhanji are really unbelievable, but this is not the time to care about this, so I diverted my attention and began to observe this big drum embedded in the air.The drum surface is white and blue, rough to the touch, not like common sheepskin. At this moment, I suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something hidden behind the drum skin, and the projection of the thing on the drum surface formed a There was a faint shadow.

Is there something else hidden in this drum?Did Bai Zhanji discover this in the first place, and that's why he put down the lock, only to be plotted against?Thinking of this, I pulled out the dagger, plunged into the drum, and cut the leather on the drum.After a while, I made an L-shaped opening on the big drum. I lifted the drum skin and looked inside.

When the light came in, on the other side of the big drum, there was a human figurine curled up in a ball. The human servant couldn't see his face and was wrapped in a black cloth. The only thing that attracted the attention was the human figurine. Around the neck, a metal object was hung.When I took a closer look at the thing, I suddenly felt trembling all over, because what was hanging around the man's neck was a black iron-like hollow ball.

This...how is this thing exactly the same as the magic lamp in the tomb of the Earth Ghost King?
A series of questions flashed through my mind. I said that Lu Su had been searching hard for the so-called key, hoping to reveal the hidden secret of the magic lamp. Could it be that these magic lamps are related to Puzhen?What does the thing on this person's neck represent?Why is it placed here?

I stared at the black lamp hanging around its neck, and asked the tofu above it to pass me an iron pusher.This thing was originally used to open stones, with a curved hook at the top. I extended its length with a movable tube, and soon reached the black lamp on the neck of the corpse. I pulled it hard, and the black lamp went up. The connecting rope broke at the sound, and with the pulling force, the corpse fell down at the sound, fell down violently, and fell on the wooden drum, and there was a bang sound, and fell to pieces in an instant.

The sound reverberated in the drum, and it vibrated in circles. I only felt that the sound was getting louder and louder, making people's ears and hearts numb, but there was no intention of stopping.I quickly pulled out, ignoring the sight of the black light in my hand, and hurriedly climbed up the rope.At this time, the sound of the drum reverberated, and even outside, one could hear the sound of the drum reverberating round and round.

At this moment, Tofu had searched Bai Zhanji all over, and placed the found items neatly on the ground.

At first glance, they were all small objects, and there was no trace of the silk book map. It was estimated that this thing was either not on Bai Zhanji's body, or it had been taken away after his death.When Tofu saw me coming up with a magic lamp in his hand, he couldn't help being shocked and said, "Where did you get it?"

I told the following situation, Tofu said: "Is this thing real or fake? No wonder Lu Su will cooperate with the mute. It turns out that this place is related to this magic lamp." At this time, the sound of the drum became louder It got bigger and bigger, and with the vibration of the sound, the countless big drums on the ice, as if they all sensed something, started to ring in unison.

The sound of a drum is still within the acceptable range, and the sound of thousands of drums in unison is a bit unbearable, and I even feel the ice under my feet tremble.At this moment, Tofu exclaimed suddenly, pointed to the position of the cave roof, and said, "Look quickly." Looking in the direction of his finger, he saw the ice cone hanging from the cave roof, which was slightly thinner and had already Unable to stop the vibration of this voice, they broke off one after another and smashed down.

I suddenly realized that the inside of the drum was [-]% connected. One beat made thousands of drums ring. Destroyed by this sound!

I couldn't help gasping for air, and said to Tofu: "It's a trick, hurry up, run into the ice cave." This ice cave is the only passage, because of its rectangular structure, the sound will not be transmitted too deep, just run Go deep into the ice cave to avoid danger.

Tofu and I didn't care about the corpse of the white chicken. We carried the equipment on our backs and ran in with our feet. The lamp drew a low parabola and was thrown back, and landed on Bai Zhanji's body.

I hurriedly picked up the tofu and said, "Can you be more successful?"

Tofu scolded his mother and said, "Damn, I don't know what's going on, I feel like something tripped me just now."

I looked down and saw that the ice surface under my feet was extremely smooth. There was nothing I could stumble on. I thought it was Tofu making excuses for myself, so I ignored it. I was about to turn around and take the black lamp back, but I saw the white chicken lying on it. The corpse on the edge of the drum body began to slide down with the vibration of the drum body. Before I could get close, Bai Zhanji's body, together with the black lamp, fell down.

My heart skipped a beat, and when I looked down, I could vaguely see the body of Bai Zhanji, lying on the ice in a strange posture. As for the black lamp, it was too small to be seen.At this moment, ice picks kept falling down, and I couldn't turn around. I could only blame Tofu for dragging my feet while running deep into the ice cave.

After running to the depths for a certain distance, the deafening drumbeat suddenly became much quieter, and the ice cave in front of us was also as tall as a person at the beginning, and began to widen radially, and we could see very obvious artificial traces.

The searchlight in our hands is still the one that the mute had left before. It has been used for a long time, and the power supply is relatively weak. The range of the light is not far. , At least a hundred meters away, that is to say, this ice cave is already a hundred meters long.At this time, at the end of the light, a door suddenly appeared.

This is the first time we have seen the tomb door since we entered the Xuanbing tomb. Before that, just like what was written on the stone tablet, we had hardly encountered any obstacles such as the tomb door. Puzhen used the natural maze As well as the weird mechanism that was placed, it made us a group of people play around.

Staring at the door that suddenly appeared, I couldn't help becoming vigilant, and when I got closer, I realized that it turned out to be a yin door.

What is the vulva?

Presumably, most people have seen the kind of paper people, paper horses, and paper houses burned for the dead. In some places in the countryside, wealthy families will use bamboo sticks at the entrance of the corpse hall during the mortuary period after death. Paste a fake door with paper.When the living people come to pay homage, they stand at the door. This door is called Yinmen, which is equivalent to the door of the house of the dead.

The vulva in front of us is like this, but it is not pasted with bamboo sticks and paper, but chiseled along the Xuanbing. The surface is painted with a layer of black, I don’t know if it is black paint or something else. At first glance, it seems that the gate of hell stands in front of us.

However, the Yinmen only have the doorway, so there is no blocking effect, except for a frame and a high ice threshold, there are no other objects.

The yin gate has been spread for a long time, and it is impossible to verify where it came from. However, it is generally seen during the mortuary and funeral, and it is rare to see such a yin gate built in the tomb.Tofu stared at the gloomy door and said, "I feel like I'm going to step into another world."

I said: "From the moment we fight, we have already entered another world." This is the world of the dead, and the living come here for their own interests, and they fight with the dead in an underground world.

This Yin Gate is the gate of the dead. I guessed that the real owner of the Xuanbing Tomb would show up soon, so I ignored saving the light source, adjusted the light to the maximum, and stepped into the Yin Gate with Tofu.Behind this vulva is a small ice cave, the head can be seen at a glance, once I stepped in, I saw countless figures spinning around in front of my eyes.

Seeing so many people in this kind of place is frightening to death, but when you look carefully, it turns out that there are many ice sculptures, posing in various poses, painted with paint, and lifelike. When the lights are turned, the light flows with them, and in the blink of an eye , I thought these people were also moving.

Looking at the shapes of these people again, it suddenly became even more strange. I saw two of them squatting facing each other, with a stick between them, and each of them held one end of the stick, as if they were working. Like playing some game.

Not far away, there was another figure in the shape of a woman, holding a round object in his hand, making a throwing motion, like a game, or some kind of ritual.

Doufu lamented how well the woman carved, and took a closer look. Suddenly, Tofu paused, backed away as if seeing a ghost, and shouted: "Oh my god, I thought she was throwing a hydrangea." When it comes to recruiting relatives, what you are holding in your hand is not a hydrangea, but a human head!"

head?

My heart moved, and I took a closer look. Sure enough, what this woman was holding was a very small human head, presumably the head of a newborn baby, and the outer layer was covered with ice, so we didn't see it before.

A head-throwing woman?
Is this some kind of evil ritual?
Who is the owner of this mysterious ice tomb?
