Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 86

Gu Wenmin was stunned by me and Doufu's robbing for money. She seemed not as angry as before. She pursed her lips and said, "You guys are poor. What happened just now?" Seeing the result, Tofu changed the subject and immediately said: "You ask us, but we still want to ask you? How did you save our two brothers? Isn't this mirror a treasure?"

I also felt strange, thinking to myself, why we can't see our own body, but can see it through the mirror?Could it be that there is something strange about the mirror in Gu Wenmin's hand?
When Tofu asked, Gu Wenmin looked a little puzzled, and shook his head, "Where is the treasure? This is just the vanity mirror I carry with me." The mirror is round, but it is the size of a child's palm, and there is a handle underneath. I took that thing from Gu Wenmin's hand and looked at myself a few times, there was nothing weird about it, it was obviously a very ordinary mirror.

Gu Wenmin was also confused, looked at the two of us and said: "You two big men, why are you so interested in this mirror, Xiao Dou, tell me, what's going on?" I didn't say a word, and continued to study , Changing the angle to look around, looking for the mystery, Tofu explained to Gu Wenmin after hearing the words.He's not stupid either, he had some things he shouldn't have said, so he slapped a haha ​​and got confused. He just said that the two of us accidentally bumped into the scene where Ren Meimei murdered Lin Fatty, and then accidentally discovered the crack next to the Shenquan, so he went After coming here, he encountered the change of the corpse pit outside, and was trapped in the mural again.

When Gu Wenmin heard this, she didn't know if she had any doubts. Her slender eyebrows frowned slightly, and her voice revealed doubts. She said, "Is this mural really that powerful?" She couldn't help but stare straight at the mural on the left, He seemed to be thinking about something, and then he suddenly realized, and said: "Ah, I understand what's going on. There are no ghosts in this mural. It's a psychological hint. Have you heard about the ' The legend of Zijinyi?"

I was a little dazed and shook my head.But Tofu nodded, and said: "I've heard of it. This Zijinyi has a lot of background." I was quite surprised, thinking that Tofu, who usually plays games or doodles with a pen, when did he become so knowledgeable?Then he asked: "Then tell me, what is Zijinyi?"

Tofu was very proud, shook his head, and read: "The poem says: the chaos is not divided into chaos, the vastness is indistinct, and no one sees it. Since Pangu broke the majesty, it has opened up a clear and turbid distinction. Overwhelming all living beings to look up to benevolence, and to invent all things to be good. If you know good luck and master Yuan Gong, you must read "Journey to the West: The Legend of Shi'er"..." I heard him read halfway, and I couldn't help but feel a desire to beat him to death. I didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so I could only sigh: "Little Dou , if I remember correctly, the poem you read is the opening poem of Journey to the West, right?"

Tofu said: "Yes, it's Journey to the West. You have a good eye. In Journey to the West, there is a queen of some country who was snatched by a lion spirit to be his wife. A fairy gave the queen a piece of clothing. Zijin clothes, monsters can't get close, so they kept the queen's virginity until she was rescued by Monkey King."

I was speechless for a while, so I could only shake my head, comfort myself in my heart, and say: Forget it, forget it, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and I can no longer have hope for Xiaodou's IQ.

Unexpectedly, I hinted in my heart that I haven't finished it yet, but Gu Wenmin nodded and praised: "Xiaodou is right, what I want to talk about is exactly this purple gold dress." I was taken aback, seeing that Gu Wenmin was serious, She didn't even open her mouth. In my image, she is not an unreliable person. Since she said so, she must have a reason.

Gu Wenmin went on to say: "This purple-gold garment is actually not just fabricated in Journey to the West, but has its own content. According to legend, this purple-gold garment is a treasure made by a shaman in ancient times." , wearing it, anyone who approaches or touches the shaman will die from severe pain. But although it cannot be touched at close range, the clothes are useless for long-distance attacks. It is said that the shaman was later killed by People murdered with poisoned arrows, and Zijinyi disappeared."

I said, "Then what does this shaman's purple gold robe have to do with these murals?"

Gu Wenmin nodded, pointed at the strangely shaped figure on the mural, and said, "The one painted on this mural is the image of a shaman. As you have said before, Princess Gegeer in the tomb was originally a The princess of Tatar, and Tatar, is the place where shamanism prevails. In fact, the purple gold clothes are not inherently capable. According to legend, many strange patterns are drawn on their clothes, and the colors are also very special. In fact, these colors and patterns are intertwined Together, it can have some kind of influence on people's subconscious mind, hallucinations, or other things. If I guessed correctly, the reason why you felt that you were dragged into the wall by the ghost in the mural, and you couldn't even move, Not being able to see one's own body is actually a psychological suggestion, which was hailed as a kind of witchcraft in ancient times. Presumably, this witchcraft was used in this tomb passage to prevent tomb robbers."

When it came to the word "tomb robber", Gu Wenmin seemed to be referring to something, which made me wonder, could it be that she has guessed our true identities?
Hearing the words, Tofu showed a look of sudden realization, then shook his head and said, "No, no, according to your statement, anyone who has seen the murals will be affected, so why are you okay?" Gu Wenmin also shook his head when he heard the words , said: "Of course I have something to do, otherwise I would not have seen a pair of ghost hands sticking out from behind, so I must have been affected. I think, maybe it is really because of the mirror, it helped me."

The three of us couldn't speak for a moment.From ancient times to the present, mirrors are divided into water mirrors, stone mirrors, bronze mirrors, brass mirrors, and now glass mirrors.They are used in different ways. It is said that in addition to illuminating people and objects, mirrors can also illuminate ghosts and suppress evil spirits. In many tombs, ancient objects such as bronze mirrors are buried with them, and some are even placed on the top of the coffin, which means to deter the tomb owner. The ghost keeps it from coming out to make trouble.It should be because it is said that the mirror was made by the Yellow Emperor, so it has divine power attached to it, which can reflect all the illusions in the world.

Perhaps it was this mirror that saved us.

The three of them figured out the reason for this tomb passage, and they settled down in their hearts. I thought to myself that this place is not suitable for staying for a long time, so I called the two of them to the place where Feng Guishou was before. After the mechanism, the mechanism did not close automatically again, and there was a downward ladder in front of us.

Looking from above, the stairs are very narrow, and the black holes do not know where they extend, and the width is only enough for one person to walk forward.We turned the searchlight into it, but we saw the head only a few meters away. It turns out that there are many bends in the staircase, and we don't know where it leads.However, according to the previous speculation, you should be able to go directly to the tomb from the back of Feixian's tomb passage. I think the general direction is not wrong. Immediately, I went down first, leading the way, followed by Gu Wenmin and Tofu.

After parting, Gu Wenmin obviously had a lot of things that he didn't understand, so he immediately grabbed onto the matter of Xiaomei Ren, and said as he walked: "You said that she killed her companion at that time, and then ran away without a trace. , has she not entered the tomb after such a long time?" I remembered what Feng Guishou said, and explained: "She did not come in. However, from her tone, she seems to have a back, Fatty Lin If she's dead, she can't do anything alone, she must be waiting for her back army. We can't let this national treasure fall into her hands, we have to fight quickly before her reserve army arrives and goes to the tomb. "

The thought in my heart is that since Gu Wenmin is here now, I can’t drive her away. Why don’t I get the Eight Carp Doujiao Zhenhai Stone first, and then find a way to get rid of her when the time comes to a safe place? The sky is big, I don’t believe it She can still really chase after me and tofu.While talking, the winding stairs had been walking for an unknown amount of time, when a dim yellow halo suddenly lit up in front of him, like the light of a candle.

Who would light a candle here?Could it be Feng Guishou?

I smiled in my heart, thinking: Enemies have narrow roads, you are unkind, so you can’t blame me for being unrighteous, then I turned my head and said to Gu Wenmin, "Lend me the gun in your hand." The two shotguns were abandoned by Tofu and me Outside, after all, in a fight, cold weapons are more effective than gun barrels, but guns are naturally more effective against people.Feng Guishou didn't have a hot weapon on him, he only needed a gun, and I'm sure he begged his grandpa to sue his grandma.Damn it, if you dare to bully me, even if tofu is a cat, do you really think that I am also a cat?
