Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 76

After I pushed down the tofu, I didn't care about anything, grabbed his collar, raised my hand and gave him a slap.

At this time, Feng Guishou also chased after him. It is estimated that Tofu and I are now covered in rotten flesh and crawling with bugs. It is disgusting enough. He looked disgusted and did not come to help.It is estimated that this slap stunned Tofu, he didn't respond, and I stood up with his collar slipped.I was also shocked by his abnormal behavior just now, and now I subdued Tofu, my heart was relieved, and I immediately found out that something was wrong with him.

Tofu's eyes were staring straight, and the corner of his mouth was bleeding when I slapped him. His dark eyes were staring at the entrance of the cave without blinking, as if he was fascinated by something.

I couldn't help but think of the sound that came from the cave just now, and my heart skipped a beat. I raised my hand to cover Tofu's eyes, and yelled in his ear.In the past, there was a saying that if you were fascinated by some mountain spirit and ghost, as long as you haven't lost your soul, you can cover your eyes and shout the other person's name in your ear to wake you up.

Unexpectedly, it was really alive. After shouting, I saw Tofu trembling all over his body, as if he was frightened, he jumped up and shouted: "I was scared to death, I was scared to death." Looking at his rolling eyes, Sure enough, he has come to his senses, and it seems that many folk methods are not groundless.

I couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and asked anxiously, "What happened to you just now, kid?"

Tofu looked a little ugly, took a step back, uncharacteristically, turned a blind eye to the pieces of meat sticking to his body, stared at the inside of the cave instead, and said: "There is something inside, I can't tell what it feels like... I can't control it at all, just want to Run inside. This feeling is terrifying, can't you feel it?" He said, looking at me and Feng Guishou with a somewhat terrified expression.

Feng Guishou and I looked at each other, shook our heads, and couldn't understand Tofu's words.

His face was pale, and he didn't look like he was telling a lie.

I couldn't help wondering, what was he afraid of?
I don't know what this strange octagonal cave in front of me is used for. The entrance of the cave is full of corpses, piled up very high, and there is dripping black water between the corpses.I couldn't help but come up with an idea: Could it be that these corpses outside all floated out of this cave after the water rose?

Could it be that the back of this cave is actually a burial pit?

In the past, when the living were buried, the corpses had a specific location after death, instead of just throwing the corpses in the tomb and placing them wherever they wanted.

According to the structure of the tomb, the orientation of the sacrificial pit is also different.Most of the people buried were slaves or people of low status. In ancient times, the left was respected and the right was humble. Therefore, the most common burial pit was on the right side of the tomb.If the cave in front of us is really a burial pit, then the left side of it may be the tomb we are looking for.

After I explained my thoughts, Feng Guishou nodded slightly, and said: "The real good things are all placed in coffins. We have to find the main tomb where the coffins are placed in order to get the Eight Carp Doujiao Zhenhai Stone. Those Ghost puppets, most likely they came out of this cave, Wei Nanjing and the others may be in there too, it seems we have to go in."

When Doufu heard it, he shook his head like a rattle, and said, "No, I won't go, and I won't die." You will never lose the chain at this time, what's going on now?
Before I could ask, Tofu seemed to know what I was thinking, and said hoarsely: "You don't understand this feeling, I can't move forward."

Feng Guishou was a little impatient, and said: "Manly man, don't delay in doing things. If you dare not go in, just stay outside."

I knew that there must be something wrong with Tofu. He was usually timid, but when it came to a critical moment, he was absolutely unambiguous.At that time in the civil official's tomb, if Tofu hadn't picked up the shovel and slapped the head of the Qing corpse, I don't know what would have happened.Why are you acting so fearful now?

What exactly was the feeling he was talking about?Why can't Feng Guishou and I feel it?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help thinking about the curse again, my heart sank, and I thought: Could this be some kind of hint?Like that stick of incense, is it an ominous sign?These few thoughts rolled around in my mind, and I had already made up my mind, so I immediately took off the mahogany bead in my hand, handed it to Tofu, and said, "Put it on."

Tofu was taken aback, and said: "Old Chen, this is given to you by your grandfather. You are usually very precious. No, I can't take it."

I said: "Take it, this thing saved my life in the backflow river, I hope it can save your life too." The ominous feeling became stronger and stronger, and I had a strong feeling that the tofu would probably die. accident.Could it be that the curse is at work again?Did grandpa also feel threatened by himself to the people around him, that's why he took grandma to the countryside?

After handing the things to Tofu, I gained some confidence and said, "If you really dare not go in, just wait outside." As I said that, I turned my head and prepared to call Feng Guishou to enter the cave together, but who knew when When I looked at the cave again, my heart suddenly throbbed like being hit by a heavy hammer, and an indescribable fear rose from the depths of my heart.

I'm not for the faint of heart, but the fear is indescribable.

Under the powerful beam of light from the searchlight above our heads, the corpses on the periphery of the cave were covered with a layer of golden yellow, and drips of liquid flowed freely.Although I felt dizzy before, I didn't feel the same way now.In my eyes, those corpses changed in an instant. They were no longer a pile of rotten flesh, but seemed to be able to get up at any time.

In an instant, I understood why Tofu was so abnormal just now. There seemed to be a strange power inside the cave. After I took off the mahogany beads, that power was transferred from Tofu to me.The first time I saw it, I was covered in fear deep in my heart, and I didn't even know what I was afraid of.

I can be sure that this feeling didn't exist just now, could it really be related to the hand beads?Could it be that there is really something evil in this cave?Tofu didn't have an object to ward off evil spirits before, so that's why it was affected?
Tofu didn't notice that something was wrong with me. He took a deep breath and said, "Although I'm not skilled, I can't let you take risks alone." Tofu and I were a little in the way, so we entered the cave by ourselves. Tofu glanced at me and said, "That feeling seems to have disappeared again. Maybe it's because I'm really too timid...Let's go, we can't let the surname Feng's old boy saw the joke." Saying that, Tofu followed into the cave.

I couldn't help but smile wryly, and said in my heart: You are not afraid now, but I am terribly afraid.

The kind of fear gushing from the depths of my heart is something I can't control at all.Seeing that Tofu's figure had already submerged into the cave, my face was almost covered in cold sweat.In addition to fear, I still have a feeling of not admitting defeat. I am very unwilling to be manipulated by that kind of fear. I cheer myself up in my heart, thinking that I must find out the thing that hides in the dark to make trouble, otherwise I will really lose it. I pinch myself as a soft persimmon.

Thinking about it this way, I suppressed my fear and followed behind Tofu, and the three of them entered the cave one file at a time.

Rather than walking in, it is better to climb in, because the broken corpses at the entrance of the cave are piled up to a height of half a meter.People walk on it and step down. Some corpses are relatively soft, and they can step directly into the cavity, bursting out a pool of yellow-green liquid. People walk unsteadily on it, and use both hands and feet. The tactile feeling of stroking a wet corpse is like Not to mention how disgusting it is.

This cave is not very long, the three of us arrived at the end not long after, and we saw a large rectangular pit.

The length of this pit is about 20 meters away, and the depth is immeasurable. The pit is full of wet corpses as if fermented, and some of them have green hairs like mold. When the light shines on them, those corpses, some The mouth was open, some limbs were twisted, making people shudder, and the smell was so strong that people almost fainted.

That's right, that frightening aura came from this buried corpse pit.
