Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 417

When old man Chen heard this, he probably comforted him and nodded his thanks repeatedly.Lu Su saw the timing right, struck while the iron was hot, and said slowly, "Old man, to tell the truth, we are here this time to ask for something, do you know about the Immortal Corpse?"

Mr. Chen's turbid eyes suddenly widened, nodded and said: "There is a record, ordinary people should not know, you...?"

Lu Su said: "To be honest, a corpse fairy just happened to appear a few days ago, and one of our friends was also taken away by it. It must have been... Hey. The few of us want to get rid of it. No matter how endangering other people, the second is to avenge your friend. We found out where Brother Chen Tiande lives, and although he expressed his willingness to help, he needs to sacrifice a treasure passed down by your family..." Lu Su said here Shut up.

Although Mr. Chen is simple, he does not mean he is stupid, and he understood it when he said this.He didn't speak, and slowly rubbed his dry old hands, as if he was thinking. The three of us didn't dare to disturb, we sat at the table and waited for Mr. Chen's reply.

After a long time, he didn't see anything from him, so Lu Su opened his mouth and said in a soft voice: "Master, this is a good thing, we don't want to embarrass you, if there is any inconvenience, please tell us, we will also help you." It's easy to discuss." This Lu Su has a pleasant face, and his expression looks extremely sincere, but there is a way in his words, saying that even if there is any inconvenience, he can discuss it again, and he did not leave old man Chen an escape route at all.

Mr. Chen didn't understand the meaning of Lu Su's words, and immediately fell into the trap.He sighed heavily and said: "Since my simple and honest son agreed to help you, it can be seen that he regards you as friends, and he must be looking for life outside, and you have to take care of him."

Gu Wenmin was a little unnatural and didn't respond, but Lu Su still smiled and said: "Rely on your parents at home and friends when you go out, it should be, don't be polite to us." This did not admit that he took care of Chen Tiande, but also Don't deny it, it's easy to misunderstand.I didn't say a word, I couldn't understand how Lu Su cheated an old man like this, but I knew very well in my heart that although this was not a beautiful thing, it was the only way.I despise him, but it's nothing more than laughing at a hundred steps.

Hearing Lu Su's words, Mr. Chen was very moved, but what he said next surprised us, he said: "Don't hide it from me, if I guessed correctly, you should be 'digging sand'." There are many slang terms for tomb robbery, and the names are different in different places. There are many slang terms, and even temporary agreements.

And digging sand is the slang term for Daodou in Xiangxi. I didn't expect Mr. Chen to see through our identities, and I couldn't help being shocked.On the contrary, Lu Su was calm and composed, with a smile on his face, and said: "The old man has good eyesight. I once heard that there is a unique skill in driving morticians, and anyone who digs sand within a hundred meters will be able to sense it. I saw it today, and the reputation is well-deserved." .”

Mr. Chen waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's not as exaggerated as the legends say." He rolled up his sleeves, revealing a black thing on his wrist, on which some weird-looking people were engraved. Face.Immediately afterwards, he went on to say: "We usually rely on this. This is called a 'mortem bracelet'. It will turn black when something with a dead body comes close. It is usually gray and white. Just look at the bracelet and you will know that the three of you often Dealing with ghost corpses in the dark. But it doesn't matter, when there is no corpse, the corpse chaser and the sand digger will not collide."

After a pause, before we could speak, Mr. Chen sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, I can take out this family heirloom, but it's quite dangerous, and you need to take risks on your own."

I heard that there was a show, and I didn't care whether it was dangerous or not, so I immediately asked, "How about an adventure?"

Mr. Chen said: "If you want to deal with the corpse fairy, you must first draw it out. The corpse fairy is different from ordinary corpse changes. Ordinary corpse transformations are controlled by fierceness, and they perceive yang energy and harm people. But corpse immortals are interesting. They harm people." Not harming others depends on one's own nature, so if a corpse fairy is in the crowd, it is absolutely difficult for you to find it, you have to wait for it to show itself, so you must use something to lure it out."

I said: "This thing, could it be that treasure?"

Mr. Chen nodded, and began to talk about the cause and effect of this treasure. After hearing this, everyone was surprised, and looked at each other for a while, feeling a little tricky.

This Chen family, if traced back to its origin, used to be a big family that refined corpses, but the history changed and the population gradually became thinner, so it declined to this day.In the practice of corpse refining, there is a saying called sacrifice, that is, the father dies and the son raises it. Of course, this kind of raising is not serving and respecting. After all, people are dead, and they can’t raise even if they want to raise them. Therefore, this raising refers to refining corpses and raising corpses. .

That is to say, when the father is dead, the son must follow the group training to refine the father's body. The body refining is divided into: walking, puppet, mourning, escape, earth, and heaven. The sky is the heavenly soldier we met before. The highest state of the world, but refining corpses is to refine corpses for one's own use, and in the technique of refining corpses, there is a separate line called raising corpses.

This method of raising corpses is naturally not as perverted as Puzhen's, and can become a corpse fairy.The corpse-raising technique of refining corpses is based on refining. The refined corpses are full of violence, and if they are not well controlled, there will be evil consequences.The refined corpses are not violent, and they are also called "life-protecting corpses" by the corpse refining lineage, implying that the predecessors protected the future generations, so the corpses of the ancestors refined and raised have been passed down among some corpse refiners. .

The corpse fairy does not show up easily, but has a habit of sucking the zongzi of other corpses to enhance its strength. The corpse fairy can fly to the sky and escape from the ground, and its sensory ability is very strong. As long as a powerful zongzi comes out, it will immediately Spotted by the corpse fairy.

The Chen family was a master of corpse refining in the early years. They once refined and raised a batch of life-guarding corpses, but the later generations withered and did not continue, but Mr. Chen knew the location of the life-guarding corpses. It is said that there is a thousand-year-old corpse king. If he can get it out, the corpse fairy will definitely be attracted.

This is the first step in dealing with the corpse fairy.

When Miss Gu heard this, she was surprised and said, "Isn't that equivalent to using your ancestor's... body?"

Mr. Chen gave up, he didn't mind much, and said: "Refinement and maintenance of dead bodies are for use, each industry has its own rules, don't take this to heart."

I said, "Then what happens after the lifeguard corpse is taken out?"

Mr. Chen said: "Borrow the thunder."

I couldn't help but hissed and didn't speak, but I couldn't help thinking in my heart: This man has a big breath, borrowing Tianlei?Can this thunder and lightning be driven by him?Lu Su also raised his eyebrows, but didn't speak.Wen Min hesitated for a while, and said: "The thousand-year-old life-guarding corpse is an heirloom? Then... where is the place to put the corpse? What danger will there be?"

Mr. Chen really didn't hide it from us. In his words: The Chen family has been passed down to this generation, and only he and his son are left, and he himself is an old bone. A person who is about to die, no matter how many things he keeps, it is useless.He pointed to a broken book on an old-fashioned table not far away, and said: "There is a passage written in that book: History will always eliminate some things. Our business will not last long. If we don't keep Just don't keep it."

Immediately afterwards, he told us about the 'Lifeguard Corpse'.

In a town not far from this village, there is a school, and the place where the corpse is placed is just under the school playground.In the past, that place was a mountain, and the bodyguard's hiding place was not too deep, probably under the house of Chen Jiazu.Times changed, the Chen family dissipated, but the life-guarding corpse did not move.And that mountain was leveled by machines in the hands of modern humans and a school was built on it. Therefore, although Mr. Chen knew the location, he had never been there.

The life-guarding corpses are refined and raised in the ground. I don’t know how many there are. Without the control of the Chen family, the corpses will not be raised. However, in order to prevent outsiders from intruding in the place where the life-guarding corpses are placed, there are some simple mechanisms inside. Most of them are poisonous. There are also refining corpses guarding it.If we want to steal the Millennium Corpse King, we not only have to find a way to get in, but also face the following risks.

After stealing the corpse queen, Mr. Chen will come forward for the next thing, which requires some secret techniques, and we laymen can't care about it.

After finishing speaking, he said: "It's up to you whether you can get the thousand-year-old corpse king out or not, and whether you're willing to take the risk."

I discussed with Lu Su and Wen Min.

Lu Su said: "It's not difficult at all, it just takes some time. Let's explore the terrain and we can go down to the robber's cave in a detour." Opening a robbery hole in a place where there is no one, and detouring underground, the project is relatively large, and it will take some time.

As for the poisonous mist mechanism inside and guarding the refining corpse, it is not difficult. No matter how prosperous the Chen family ancestors are, they will not be able to flourish, so there will not be any large-scale institutions that are too clever. Some ordinary poisonous fog and poison masks can completely block them. In addition, with Lu Su's Ghost Crying Knife in hand, ordinary corpse refining can't be done.

So Lu Su and I made a plan to seize the corpse.

During this process, I suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with Wen Min's face, and my heart skipped a beat, and I immediately understood.She is an upright person, she even gave up fighting for me, that's all right, but now she's falling down to the bottom of the school, I don't think it's a good feeling.
