Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 109

We have been staring at the bottom of the water, only to see that the bottom of the water is dark, and the jade bridge sinks in the depths, disappearing and disappearing, where is there anyone?Feng Guishou couldn't help saying: "Are you delusional?" Gu Wenmin probably felt a little trembling in his heart, rubbed his eyes, looked under the water again, and said to himself: "It's strange, why didn't you disappear? Am I really delusional?"

In fact, I still have confidence in Gu Wenmin's eyesight. For some reason, her eyesight is better than all of us. When I was at the bottom of the cliff at the Ghost Gate, I could always spot any disturbances in advance.The rest of the people may not have taken her words to heart, but when I thought of all the things before, I couldn't help but be more careful, and said to everyone: "This bridge in the water looks really weird, it must have something to do with the layout here, if you want to find a way to For the road to the golden coffin, it seems that we must first figure out what is going on with this 'water snake swallowing a phoenix', we have to go into the water to have a look."

Tofu immediately stopped me, turned his head and said: "You still have injuries on your shoulders, do you want to infect them or what? I don't think you should go into the water. It's up to me and Lao Feng." Being lazy, when the critical moment came, it was my brother who knew how to keep warm and stopped me from diving into the water.

After all, Tofu winked at Feng Guishou again, obviously telling him not to idle.It was not easy for the surname Feng to refuse, so the two put down their equipment bags, and one of them brought a dagger. After taking a deep breath, they jumped into the icy groundwater and swam towards the depths of the bottom.

At first, the shadows of the two Tofu could be seen clearly with the help of the searchlight above our heads, but they dived deeper and deeper, and the light could not penetrate such a deep water layer. Finally, the figures of the two were submerged in the darkness, and they were no longer there. Can't see any movement.

The water surface became calm again, and the few of us turned on the lights and paid close attention to the movement in the water.

I know that tofu's breath-holding skills can reach the sky in 3 minutes in the water, which is the level of normal people. Feng Guishou has been trained in this area, and Lu Su said that it is not a problem for him to hold his breath for 5 minutes below.

According to our estimation, regardless of whether we can find anything below, at most three to five minutes, the two people will come back one after the other, so we counted in our hearts, and every sixty counts is 5 minute, whoever Zhi Zhi counted four reincarnations in a row, but no one came up.Lu Su's calm expression became a little more serious, with sword eyebrows clustered together, he lowered his voice and said, "Things have changed."

I can't wait, this water is different from doing other things, people can't live without oxygen, and the tofu has been underwater for 4 minutes, and I don't know if it's drowned. What happened to the person underwater, he explained to Gu Wenmin and told them to wait, and brought a dagger and a movable steel pipe, ready to go into the water to catch the person.

I took a deep breath, and when I was about to jump, I saw a huge shadow suddenly appearing in the water.Damn, that looks weird, like a giant octopus.It quickly came towards the surface of the water, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be two people hugging each other, and the other had four limbs and a cloak. The eight hands and eight legs together looked like the tentacles of an octopus at first glance.

"Pfft...!" Feng Gui came out of the water with his face flushed, and put his arm around Tofu's neck. Tofu picked up the stone and started spitting water. The old man kissed, I'm sorry for my future wife... Cough cough, let me die, don't stop me."

I pulled the tofu out of the water and said, "Don't worry, you will die after you make it clear."

Tofu had obviously been drowned and couldn't speak well, so I looked at Feng Guishou and asked him what was going on.

Hearing Tofu's complaints, Feng Guishou was also furious, his face was distorted, and he said, "You think I'm willing to talk to you, damn it." He wiped his face hard Only then did we tell us about the underwater experience.

After the two of them entered the water, they both headed straight for the underwater jade bridge. Unexpectedly, the jade bridge seemed very close, but it was like a mirage. There must be something wrong with the bridge, like a trap that attracts people, full of evil everywhere.

Tofu is not stupid, he just likes to talk nonsense, but when it comes to the critical moment, his brain is still very shrewd, and when he sees something is wrong, he immediately pats Feng Guishou on the shoulder and gestures to return.

Feng Guishou turned his head and looked at the jade bridge below. After swimming for so long, it was still the same distance as before. It was not too close or far to attract people's hearts. At first glance, it was evil, so he nodded, turned around and followed Tofu to return .Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them started to swim upstream, they suddenly felt that their legs were being pulled by something. When they looked down, their scalps were numb in shock, and the tofu even choked on water.

It turned out that the jade bridge, which was far away before, had reached the soles of the two Tofu's feet in this moment, and the situation was as if they were standing on the jade bridge.

This jade bridge can actually move by itself!

But at this time, what held the two people's feet was a pair of hands, a pair of black hands.Those hands grew out of the jade bridge, one on each side, grabbing the feet of the two. What's even more troublesome is that there was a blurry human face printed on the underside of the jade bridge, like people gathered in it. Like a ghost, the outline is actually very similar to Ren Ling.

The two struggled violently. Feng Guishou was okay, but tofu was not good. He was not as good at holding his breath as Feng Guishou, but now he choked on another sip of water. I poured it into my stomach, and I rolled my eyes so much that I was about to drown alive.In desperation, Feng Guishou struggled and gave mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration.He knew that the thing inside the bridge was definitely not a human being, and it might be useless to use a dagger, so he pulled out the horn and stabbed it randomly, but he didn't know where it was stabbed. The thing let go, and he ran up with the tofu.

While talking, Feng Guishou took a sip of groundwater to rinse his mouth, his face was ashen, and said: "That is a demon bridge, I am afraid I will be caught in the water." While talking, he hung the buffalo horns back to his waist.

Tofu spit out a stream of water, and he came back to his senses, and said, "I see that the face on the bridge looks very similar to Ren Ling. Do you think she has become a water ghost?"

Lu Su muttered to himself, "A bridge that can move...could it be..." He hesitated for a while, and whispered three words: "Liuhun Bridge."

Gu Wenmin had obviously heard of this thing before, and said in surprise: "You also believe in such things?"

I've never heard of Liuhun Bridge, and Tofu was even more confused. He asked, "Miss Gu, what kind of riddle are you two playing? What is Liuhun Bridge?"

Gu Wenmin explained that this is the name of the Kanto, and the folks also call it "Suoming Bridge".

There are many dry bridges in Kanto. The so-called dry bridge means that the water in the small river is dry. For more than half of the year, there is no water in the river. This kind of bridge is only useful when the water is rising. Most of the time It's just a decoration, which has something to do with the geographical environment of Kanto.Therefore, few people walk on this kind of bridge, and if people don't walk, other things will naturally walk.

It is said that the formation of Liuhun Bridge has a lot to do with Fengshui. There used to be a village in the east, west and north of the Guan, which was located in a barren area with no mountains on all sides. There was only a black stone peak in the west and far away. Long canyon.There is fog in the middle of the stone crevices all the year round, and when it is dark, the fog turns black.

There has always been a folk saying that the gate of ghosts, the so-called gate of ghosts, naturally refers to the place where ghosts have to pass through after death to reach the underworld.If there is such a place nearby, when building bridges and paving roads, it is very taboo to build bridges or roads into high arches.

High arch is a kind of bridge. There are straight bridges, vertical bridges, low arch bridges, high arch bridges, and curved bridges. It is said that ghosts cannot climb high bridges. If the high arch bridge blocks the road, then the ghost will have trouble getting through that place, what should I do if I can't get through?Naturally, they were left on the bridge. Once they came and went, the bridge became a ghost bridge.If a person walks during the day, nothing will happen, but if he walks at night, ghosts hitting walls, pulling feet, and blindfolding all go into battle, which can drive people crazy.

Generally, when building bridges and paving roads, people have to ask Mr. Fengshui to look at the terrain and Fengshui first, but the traffic in that small village is inconvenient. Without Mr. Fengshui, a high arch bridge was built facing the ghost gate of Heishifeng. Since then, the village has been restless. A lot of things happened on the bridge, and many people died. Later, when the economy improved, the road was repaired, and the bridge was blown up, nothing happened.

This is also the origin of the Liuhun Bridge. This place was originally a fierce place where snakes and phoenixes were swallowed by water. It was very dark, and a very high jade bridge was specially set up, which happened to be a bridge for leaving souls. Suzuba was killed by the bridge, not to mention the flying corpse after death, the ghost also became the foundation of the bridge, specially killing people.

Tofu gasped when he heard this, and said, "No wonder Miss Gu was pushed down by that girl Ren Ling on the bridge. Wait... Could it be that the ghosts in the Liuhun Bridge like to harm women? Let's do it too." Got off the bridge, why are you alright?"

Gu Wenmin said: "This bridge is actually a yin bridge. Women are very yin, so they harm women. But it is said that there are only three kinds of people, and Liuhun bridge is not harmful: one is full of righteousness, and has never done anything wrong. People, as the saying goes, one is to suppress evil spirits, but there are too few such people in this world; the second is people who have magic weapons to ward off evil spirits, and the third..." Gu Wenmin spit out a few words slowly: "They are people who are about to die. .”

Tofu was dumb, and said: "A person who is about to die?"

Gu Wenmin pursed her lips, and said slowly: "When you cross the bridge, Mr. Feng has horns, you have mahogany beads, and Mr. Lu has a precious sword. Only she has Chen Xuan. I can't figure out why." She pointed Refers to the woman surnamed Ren.

Tofu was surprised: "Could it be that she and Lao Chen are dying?"

I slapped Tofu, and said lightly, "Shut your crow's mouth and don't harm me, because I am righteous and respected by gods and ghosts."

Tofu was taken aback for a moment, and then he said, "You're kidding me..."
