Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 131

What Zhuan Rui said, the thousand-year-old tortoise and the strange black lamp, are indeed bizarre everywhere, but what does this have to do with the pattern in his hand?Could it be that what Tofu said was because of the connection between his ancestors and shamanism?
What happened to him in the tomb that made him not only disfigured, but also so persistently looking for clues to this pattern afterwards?
Following Zhuan Rui's narration, I gradually understood what happened, and I couldn't help being secretly startled for a while.

At that time, two of Zhuanrui's subordinates took out high-pressure guns, aimed at the swollen clothes on the ground, and fired. The thing immediately turned into a fireball. Unexpectedly, the next second, the fireball suddenly bounced up and jumped onto one of them. .The clothes on the man burned instantly, and he rolled on the ground in pain. Since the man was still holding a high-pressure gun in his hand, when he fell to the ground, the gun just hit Zhuan Rui's face. If Zhuan Rui hadn't dodged quickly at that time, I'm afraid I can't even keep my left cheek.

The high-pressure musket is so powerful. With that spray, Zhuan Rui only felt that he had entered hell, and fell to the ground in an instant, losing his sanity in pain. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and put out the fire quickly when he fell to the ground, but the face on the right It was completely ruined, and under the severe pain, he didn't last long before passing out.

When he woke up, there was only one subordinate left beside him, that is, the person who was standing not far away as the bodyguard, named Zhong Gong, and the other subordinate had already been charred.

Zhuan Rui remembered that before he fainted, that subordinate had already extinguished the fire on his body, how could it be burned into a piece of coke now?
Although being disfigured is really a big stimulus, for a person like him, being disfigured is not a big deal. He doesn't rely on his appearance for a living, and he won't find a job because of his disfigurement. After being angry with him, Zhuan Rui quickly calmed down, and asked Yan Gong what happened afterwards.

It turned out that after the thing in the clothes attacked another person, it immediately rushed towards the fainted Zhuanrui. Zhuanrui, a big man, fell to the ground again. At the critical moment, even if he wanted to save him, it was too late. In desperation, Zhong Gong threw himself on Zhuan Rui's body, protecting Zhuan Rui's chest to head, and prepared to resist temporarily, but the burning pain did not come, but when he turned his head, it was another subordinate, who did not know when, Picking up the iron rod that Zhuan Rui had dropped on the ground, he went over and pierced the thing with a rod. The round ball pierced the iron rod, just like a roasted egg in the Northeast.

People in the Northeast are especially good at eating. There are many mountains and mountains there, and there are many delicacies, such as "red grilled bear paw", "three delicacies deer antler soup", "white grilled monkey head" and so on.

Roasted Maodan is a famous snack in Northeast China, but the material sounds a bit tongue-in-cheek. It refers to the egg during the hatching process. The hatching is forcibly stopped. After the eggshell is peeled off, there is a half-developed chick embryo inside, half Egg and half chicken, the taste is very unique, it is estimated that most people dare not eat it.But now, due to the large supply in the market, many street vendors use fake eggs, mix dead chickens with rotten eggs, and freeze them overnight in the refrigerator to pretend to be dead eggs.

There is a folk street in Shenzhen that also sells them. I went back to try new ones. Tofu felt that eating Maodan was too cruel, so I refused to eat it. I ate three skewers in one go. I was sent to the emergency department for food poisoning that night. I didn't dare to eat it either.

However, he said that the subordinate used an iron rod to string up 'hairy eggs' to save Zhong Gong and Zhuan Rui. He was complacent, but suddenly his expression changed, and he saw that the black ball that was strung up did not seem to feel any pain at all, and even went towards the iron rod. Walking up, he was face-to-face with that person in an instant. This time, the sky thunder set off the ground fire. The person was burned and rolled all over the ground, screaming and screaming, but the black ball couldn't get off.

Seeing his companion turned into a Burning Man, Zhong Gong took out the pistol from his waist with tears in his eyes, sent the burning companion away with the first shot, and hit the black ball with the second shot.When the shot was fired, the black ball did not respond. It was not until the fire was extinguished that it was discovered that only the corpse of the companion remained on the ground.

After listening to the process, Zhuan Rui only felt a surge of anger in his heart, and what was more, he remembered what he saw in the eyes of the pair of holes. Those things made Zhuan Rui, who was fearless, fearless.

What exactly did he see?Not only the curious tofu, even I can't help but guess.

What is death?

It's a pity that during the process, Tofu and I each asked about it once, but Zhuan Rui didn't answer. Every time he asked this question, his eyes looked enigmatic, half profound, half terrifying.

Perhaps, it was because of what he saw in that hole that triggered what happened later?

Zhuan Rui had a lot of subordinates, but Zhong Gong and the dead man had been with him for a long time, and they were also trained by him. It is said that raising a dog still has a three-pointed love, even if Zhuan Rui is a bit cold-hearted and cold-blooded, At this time, I can't help but feel sad.

The two were silent for a while, and Zhuan Rui cheered up again. At that time, his face was severely burned, so it goes without saying that he was in pain. Grind it into a powder and sprinkle it on the face, wrap it with gauze, only one eye was exposed, and stood up holding the iron chisel.

Just thinking about the situation at that time, I feel admiration, thinking about whether I can stand up if this happened to me.

Burns are no worse than knife wounds or gunshot wounds. Anyone who has experienced it knows that burns are the most painful of all traumas.When doctors rescue severely burned patients, they will immediately administer anesthesia, because the pain is likely to cause painful shock and death.To fight against pain, it is not enough to have the courage, but also to have the perseverance beyond ordinary people.

At this time, the top of the head is still intact. Directly opposite the main tomb is a sealed stone door. According to the structure of the tomb, through the stone door, you will enter the "main hall" of the tomb. There should be burial rooms on both sides. Going forward is the entrance to the tomb, which is usually blocked by a natural stone.

Now there are only two paths.

One is in the main tomb, anti-robbery hole to get out.

The second is to go through the stone gate and walk to the entrance of the tomb.

Tombs pay attention to survival from death, and the place of burial must be a place where vitality circulates, which is called "Qi" in Feng Shui.

Whether it is the living or the dead, they have to live in a place with air, and if there is no air, they will die. People live in livestock and animals, and corpses live in ghosts.Therefore, in the tombs of the Central Plains, there will be an opening to connect the air, the lower part is grounded, and the upper part is connected with air. This place is called "shengjing" in jargon.

Experienced tomb robbers, if they encounter an ancient tomb built with copper walls and iron walls, and cannot drill the robbery hole in, they will dig the robbery hole down and use a roundabout method to drive the robbery hole into the well. It is often the weakest position in the underground palace tomb.

Which path should I choose?

To find the living well, one must go through the stone gate in front of him, but although there is no mechanism in this tortoise tomb, it is extremely strange, and the longer the delay, the easier it is to make mistakes.

After thinking for a while, Zhuan Rui decided to steal the cave from the previous position on the spot.

This job was done by Zhong Gong. With a vigorous Luoyang shovel dance, he quickly pierced through the top of the tomb.The two were overjoyed and ready to dig out the soil, but at this moment, Zhong Gong went down with a shovel, and a lot of liquid splashed out of the soil, and then a black thing was shoveled down.

The liquid was blood red and exuded a strong fishy smell. Zhong Gong was shocked and picked up the thing that fell on the ground.After a lot of fighting, I still couldn't help itchy throat when I saw that thing, because it was a half piece of scalp that Luoyang shoveled off!
There are people in the soil!

Who is it?
The three of Zhuanrui had dug a hole from this position before, and they encountered nothing but stones along the way.Now not only did the robbery hole disappear, but when he fought back, he even dug someone!How could this be?
In the dark tomb room, it seems that because of those tortoise shells, the tortoise shells have become steamy. The tomb room that can be seen at a glance is filled with dark fog, and the penetrating power of the light is very weak. When you look up, you can only see a The round thing was dripping with blood, revealing the red and white skull inside.

Zhuan Rui settled down and gestured to Zhong Gong, and the two immediately started digging for things in the soil.A moment later, the man was dug out. It was a man, his body was covered with dirt, he fell to the ground in a headlong posture, his neck fell to the ground, and there was a cracking sound instantly, and he was twisted aside in a strange posture.

Zhuan Rui took a flashlight to see that the man's face was covered with mud, and he couldn't tell his face.

Zhong Gong wiped the man's face with his hand wearing a corpse-touching glove, and soon, the man's appearance was revealed.

When Zhong Gong saw it, he immediately opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word.Because the person in front of him is Ma Lao Si.

Ma Laosi is the name of the subordinate who was burned to death just now.

Tofu gasped, swallowed, and said, "You're telling a ghost story, right? Isn't Ma Laosi burned to charcoal? How did he appear in the soil? You even peeled off his scalp up.

When I heard this strange situation, I also felt a cold air coming from the back of my neck, as if Ma Laosi was standing behind me, let alone that feeling.

Zhuan Rui's expression was still lukewarm, and the handsome and ugly faces on the left and right seemed to show two completely different expressions.One is indifferent and deep, and the other is full of evil.I seemed to see through the protruding eyeballs on his right face, the two people in the dark tomb, who were panicking at Ma Laosi's body.

The degree of weirdness of this matter is indeed beyond my expectation.I finally understood what Zhuan Rui said at the beginning of the sentence, which really exceeded the tolerance of ordinary people.

Why are things like this?

How did the burned Ma Laosi appear in the soil?

And Zhuan Rui mentioned a detail, that is, Ma Laosi, who was dug out of the soil, had no injuries on his body except for the scalp that they chopped off with a Luoyang shovel.

Not a single trace of burns.
