Notes on Tomb Raiders of Liu Bowen's Descendants

Chapter 49
"The shadow guard of the mausoleum, I have only heard it from the old man before. This is a terrifying thing. Its greatest ability is that it can mobilize the shadows of all the things in the mausoleum under the moonlight...

"According to the way of yin and yang, sunlight is shadowless light. During the day, the shadow guards have no effect on protecting the tomb and harming people. But at night, the shadows cannot be harmed, so it can be said that they are invincible.

"According to the records, I'm almost certain that the old man who was caught in the shadow guard's phantom has definitely lost his life. Without this opponent, all we have to do is wait and wait."

Cyclops put the diary in his hand back into the newcomer's box and returned without success last night. On the way, he signaled the little man to ask the newcomer named Zaramu about the shadow guard, but Zaramu seemed to be hesitant. Reluctant to speak.

"Hey," the little man sneered twice, "Why does he still want to play with us? So what if he doesn't say anything, if he has a few glasses of wine, he will still submit obediently. Hey, you are still wise, boss, even in his usual If you like to keep a diary, you can notice it."

Cyclops nodded gloomyly, "Latier, you are very smart, but you are usually too sharp, and you rarely pay attention to some subtle things. You know, the best way to see a person is to start with the details."

"Boss is right, you are right." Lattier nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Boss, now the old man is probably dead, and no one will hinder us anymore. Look, let's think about it." How can I get things out of the shadow guard?"

The one-eyed dragon snorted through his nose, pointed at Zalamu who was intoxicated, and said, "You still have to ask him about this."

When Yi Lin woke up in the morning, he felt top-heavy. He put his head under the faucet, and after a quick dash, he woke up quite a bit, but the pain in his temples became worse and worse.He rubbed his temples with his fingers, and then hurried out the door. According to what Lao Li said yesterday, construction should start early this morning. Yi Lin knew that these decoration teams sounded good on the surface, but when they really did it, he really wanted to do it. Only by supervising can you put your heart in your stomach.

When he arrived at the store, Yi Lin realized that the store door was wide open, but there was no one in the room.Lao Li and his subordinates did not start working in full swing at all, and the materials on the ground looked extraordinarily messy, obviously someone had turned them over.

Angrily, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number left by Lao Li. After two beeps, the other party turned off the phone.This time, Yi Lin didn't want to call anyone, so he simply locked the door of the store and went to the decoration company to ask for an explanation.

But which decoration company has experienced many battles, Yi Lin poured a glass of water, and then sent a beautiful little girl to deal with this problem alone, but after the little girl seemed to listen to what he said seriously, she was filled with righteous indignation and said that she would contact him immediately. Old Li, we must deal with the matter to the end.As a result, I went there for a few hours after making the phone call. At noon, Yi Lin bought a lunch box and decided to fight here for a long time. Maybe it was because of his firm confidence. I don't know where he went to fool around last night, and was arrested by the police. Now he is trying to find a way to get him out. Yi Lin is required to wait patiently and guarantee that it will be dealt with within three days.

After leaving the decoration company, Yi Lin thought of the decoration materials in his shop.The storefront lock is simply a decoration, no one is looking at it at night, if you lose it, it is your own loss.Originally, I didn't have much money, so I couldn't bear such a toss, so I didn't go home at all, bought some porridge, and went to the store to watch the night by myself.

The night in the north comes quickly, and it seems that in the blink of an eye, night has already fallen.Yi Lin opened the store door, moved a stool and sat outside, staring at the passers-by in a daze.In the sky, a bright moon has appeared on the sky. The moon seems not far away from people, and it looks bright and soft.

Yi Lin was taken aback when he saw the moonlight. Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar?How the moon is so bright.He took out his phone to check, and sure enough, it was the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, which made Yi Lin feel a little terrified. This is a traditional ghost festival.According to the old man, after twelve o'clock in the evening, strangers are not allowed to go to the streets, lest they encounter ghosts walking in the night.

Thinking wildly in my heart, a group of young people walked over from the street jokingly and jokingly.He must be a fashionable young man, somewhere to play around at night, Yi Lin stretched his waist, a little envious of the free and easy of these young people, but suddenly his eyes froze on the ground - behind a few young people, there was no place on the ground that should have been supposed to be. The long shadow trailing behind.

Those with shadows are people, and those without shadows are ghosts.Thinking of this statement, Yi Lin felt his scalp go numb. In a blink of an eye, the pedestrians on the road became strange to him. No one had a shadow behind them. Yi Lin immediately saw that their faces were cold and ferocious. It was not a group of evil spirits can be anything.

He almost scrambled back to the store and closed the store door heavily.Yi Lin's heart was beating violently, and he was cursing the fat landlord who was always smiling. No wonder he rented the house to himself so cheaply. It turns out that this ghost place is obviously a dirty place.

"Amitabha, Buddha of Infinite Life, Guanyin Bodhisattva..." Yi Lin called out all the gods he knew, and now he ran out to go home. He didn't have the guts, so he could only ask the gods to bless him, so that the night will be safe and sound.

"Damn, why are there so many ghosts here!" Cyclops said with a frown.For these shadowless ghosts, a murderer like him is not afraid. He doesn't know how many people kill people, and on top of that, gods and ghosts are afraid of evil people. He just finds it strange that there are so many such things coming out.

Zaramu shook his head and said, "Head, it's not a ghost. You're mistaken. There is an old Chinese saying that 'when you see the moon when you see the moon', it refers to this situation. The Chinese believe that every hundred years, there will be one or two On the Ghost Festival of July, the moon is in the right position of the head of the people, so there is no shadow for everyone on this day. Of course, in Qimen, it is called evil day, because people have no shadow, and there will be some dirty things mixed in it. Take the opportunity to make trouble."

Cyclops pulled a passerby and touched it.The young man originally wanted to yell twice, but when he saw the one-eyed dragon's murderous eyes, he was frightened and fell silent. "It's a human, almost bluffed me." Cyclops said angrily.

He shouted to the young man, "Get out! Get out!"

Seeing the one-eyed dragon like this, the little man quickly echoed, "Yeah, why is there such a ghost..."

As the voice fell, Zaramu smiled coldly and said, "Why, don't you think this is a bad thing? It's really..." As he spoke, the corner of his mouth twitched, obviously contemptuous of the little Latieer.

Hearing what the little man said, Cyclops suddenly burst out laughing, "Okay, that's good, this thing is really wonderful! Damn it, Changshengtian takes care of us too much!"

Latier was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. He also wanted to understand what Zaramu meant. Now the biggest obstacle to them getting that thing is the shadow guard of the mausoleum, and in the night of this month, there are no shadows at all. In other words, the Shadow Guard of the Mausoleum is equivalent to not existing.

Thinking of this, he suddenly regained his energy.He seemed to think of the scene where he got the things and returned to the country to exchange rewards. Hehe, with countless banknotes and beauties from all over the world, Latier fell into a deep obsession. He didn't see it. There was a hint of disgust and murderous intent.

The three of them continued to walk towards the store in a leisurely manner. According to the custom, it is estimated that after nine o'clock, there will be no people on the street, so it is best to go in at that time.In ten minutes or so, the three of them came to the street corner where the store was located. Latier was the most anxious and looked in the direction of the store.

"Changshengtian! How could this be? Isn't that the damn old man last night?"

Hearing what he said, Cyclops looked over quickly, and sure enough, standing in front of the store was the skinny old man who looked like a skeleton, with the black cloth bag on his back.

"Damn, why isn't he dead yet?" Cyclops glanced at Zaramu, his doubts clearly visible.Zaramu didn't panic, and said with a smile: "This old man must have some skills of his own to find this place. There are some strange people in China who are as skilled as our spirit witches. It's not surprising that they can save their lives."

Latier made a gesture of wiping his neck to the one-eyed dragon, which meant that no matter what, kill the old man.Just as he quietly drew out his bright dagger and was about to go there, the door of the store suddenly opened.

Yi Lin was disturbed by the knock on the door, he curled up behind the material, trembling a little.He wasn't sure if what he would see when he opened the door was a ghost or a zombie like in the movie.But the sound of knocking on the door was unhurried, as if playing a game of cat and mouse with him.

If it goes on like this, the person knocking on the door will definitely break in. Yi Lin suddenly remembered that ghosts seem to be unstoppable by walls and doors.Knowing that it would be useless to go on like this, even though he knew it would be of little use, he still grabbed a plastic steel stick with one hand, walked over slowly and opened the door.

His character was so good, the moment Yi Lin opened the door, the stick fell to the ground with a "dang".The image of the old man looked like a living zombie, and he grinned at Yi Lin, his stiff muscles made the smile distorted and stiff.

"Damn it, two people." Lattier stopped in his tracks. He knew that if he couldn't kill these two people at once, the patrolling police or others would probably spoil the plan.

Cyclops looked at Zaramu, he wanted to test whether this novice had any way to excel.Zaramu smiled and said: "There is no need to use knives and guns. Killing someone is a serious case. I am afraid that if the city is tight, we will not be able to escape. In fact, two people can easily solve it, just use stun bombs."

As he spoke, he took out a silver ball from his waist, about the size of an egg.This is a weapon that circulates underground. It mainly emits strong light and irritating chemical gas when it explodes, causing the opponent to be dizzy and unconscious. "You have been prepared." The more the one-eyed dragon looked, the more he felt that this newcomer was pleasing to the eye and had a pleasant face, and a smile appeared on the face with only one eye left.Zalam nodded and said: "No matter when, there is nothing wrong with being more prepared."

Yi Lin took a few steps back, and the old man followed him into the house.Yi Lin asked with a trembling voice, "You...who are you...what do you want...to do?"

The old man tried his best to put on a pleasant expression, but it really made Yi Lin even more frightened.At this moment, Yi Lin suddenly saw a shining object flying in from outside the house, falling on the ground, and then a strong light like the direct sun shot out from the object, and a large amount of fog gushed out. He felt that His whole body was weak, his blood seemed to be boiling, his brain felt dizzy, and he fainted softly.

Amid wild laughter, Cyclops walked out of the store and handed something to Lattier. It was in his pocket and looked round and round like a bead.La Tie suddenly felt that this was the boss's trust in him, and straightened up a lot.

The three quickly disappeared into the night. In the northern outskirts of the city, there were cars waiting there.

In the store, only the unconscious Yi Lin and the old man were left.The shop door was blown open by the wind, and even the old man's limp body on the ground seemed to twitch slightly.
