Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 90
The eyes of the four of us were immediately attracted by the three coffins above our heads, and the smoke was absorbed along the cracks of the coffins. The strange scene was like a horror movie, which made people shudder.

Tofu swung the steel rod in his hand, gulped his saliva, and said, "It seems that there are things in these three coffins, what should we do? Are you sure about three against three?"

Gu Wenmin said: "Is there really a ghost inside?" As soon as the words fell, the coffin lid on the top of the head suddenly made a bang, and slightly tilted up, as if something was on top of it.At this moment, I discovered a strange phenomenon, which made my hands and feet cold, and my mind was in chaos.

At first, I thought that the reason why the coffin could hang upside down on the top of the head was because it was nailed by something, but at this moment, the lid of the coffin was completely pushed up. It stands to reason that under the action of gravity, the lid of the coffin was lifted. After being jacked up, it should have fallen straight down, but the strange thing is that after being jacked up, it 'falls' back again, firmly covering the coffin.

This phenomenon completely violated the common sense of physics, and I couldn't help shaking my heart, thinking: Could it be that the four of us are really hanging upside down in the air?However, in this world, how could there be such a bizarre thing?

Before I could recover from this question, Tofu suddenly took a deep breath, pointed to a coffin on the right, and motioned us to take a look, only to see a white forest protruding out of there, still carrying a coffin. Flesh hands.That hand kept probing out, pushing against the coffin lid, as if it was about to crawl out.

Gu Wenmin was completely frightened, she hugged my arm and remained motionless, her lips turned pale.After all, Feng Guishou was Lao Jianghu, he took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice: "Get the weapon ready, it is coming out." As soon as the words fell, the coffin lid above was suddenly pushed away, but the coffin lid did not fall off. It was on the ground, but turned around in the air, and then stuck to the top again.

At this moment, Gu Wenmin's sharp eyes suddenly said: "Ah, look, those black things on the coffin lid!" When she interrupted me, I even forgot to look at the contents of the coffin. I saw several round, dark objects on the four corners of the coffin lid. If I guess correctly, they must be magnets.

Could it be that the inside of the top of the tomb is actually inlaid with magnets?
So it's not like we're turned upside down?This realization made me breathe a sigh of relief. Something that can be figured out is better than something that cannot be figured out.The next second, I moved my eyes to the inside of the coffin, and I saw an ancient corpse dressed in white lying in the coffin. The corpse had not yet rotted, and the skin and flesh were pale, as if smeared with white powder. The nails were waving as if they were about to come out, but for some reason, they were still unable to leave the coffin.

Seeing this, Tofu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said happily: "I see, this corpse may also have a magnet inside, so it was attracted to the top."

Gu Wenmin's expression also slowed down a little, hesitantly said: "So they can't come down?"

Tofu nodded and said, "It must be so?" Then he raised his hand at the corpse above and said, "Hello Zongzi, goodbye Zongzi."

The corpse in the coffin was extremely pale and terrifying. Although it seemed to be sucked by something and unable to get out of the coffin, my intuition told me that things were not that simple.Who built this inverted burial chamber?And why use magnets to make this pattern?The corpse in the coffin is not placed here as a display, is it?

The white-clothed corpse looked like a sacrificial person, and his status was definitely higher than those of the corpses in the sacrificial pit.

In fact, it is not a common phenomenon for corpses to be raised in tombs.As the so-called reincarnation of life and death, the ancients were very awed by death. When building a mausoleum, the peace of the deceased is above all else. If the deceased is restless after death, the corpse will change.There are many reasons for this uneasiness. For example, the last breath of life before death, the dead body will change when encountering the collision of Yang Qi of the living; another example is the difference in feng shui in the burial place, which makes the dead uneasy and produces corpse change; Something went wrong.

At this moment, it is a rare 'Phoenix Turning its Neck'. It stands to reason that Feng Shui is excellent, which is suitable for the dead to die, but why are there corpses everywhere?Could it be that there is something wrong with the feng shui of this place?
Thinking about it this way, I inadvertently thought of the lake water before, and an idea popped up in my heart: there is a spring in front of the tomb, which is the image of the earth's vitality.But time changed, things changed, geography changed, and the holy spring became a big lake, and the lake water poured into the tomb, colliding with the burial pit.From the point of view of feng shui, this is like pouring a pot of cold water on the head of the fire phoenix, extinguishing the vitality of the phoenix. Could it be because of this that the original auspicious acupoint became a vicious tomb?

Just as he was thinking about it, the lids of the other two coffins were also pushed open. Inside the coffin were also two dead bodies in white robes. Their faces were as pale as powder, and they waved their withered arms, trying to break free from the coffin. here we come.This scene looked really scary, but fortunately, none of the three zongzi seemed to be able to come down to harm us. After observing for a while, everyone was slightly relieved, but they still didn't know what to do with the strange structure of the tomb.

Gu Wenmin's eyes were rather sharp, and at this moment, she snorted and said, "Look, is there something in the coffin?" The three of us looked into the coffin, except for the place covered by the corpse, the rest The place was dark, a little blurry, and nothing could be seen.So I adjusted the angle of the searchlight above my head, and in an instant, the light shone straight into the coffin, hitting the pale face of the corpse, and the corpse suddenly seemed more ferocious.

Even if I was brave, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, I forced my eyes away from the hideous face of the corpse, and suddenly found that there was a brass mirror above the corpse's head.

It is not uncommon for ancient mirrors to exorcise evil spirits and put mirrors on top of corpses to accompany them in burial.But the mirror didn't seem to have any effect, and the corpse was still dead.When Gu Wenmin saw it, she seemed a little disappointed, and said, "It turned out to be a mirror."

Tofu smacked his mouth and said, "Otherwise, what else? These three corpses were buried with that princess. Although their bodies are dry and flat, I bet they must be male corpses."

Gu Wenmin wondered: "Why do you say that? This corpse is wearing a white robe, skinny and fleshless, and you can still tell the difference between a man and a woman at a glance?"

Tofu looked at Gu Wenmin with a silly expression on your face, and said, "Miss Gu, you are usually very smart, why can't you figure out such a simple question. The ancients said that a waiter is like a waiter, although the princess died Yes, but you have to have two concubines, right? Without two confidante, how lonely she is."

I was being made a head and two big by this weird tomb, when I heard Tofu’s remarks suddenly, I couldn’t laugh or cry for a while, and I was going to teach him that a princess’ lover can’t be called a mistress, a mistress is a country man Will call, the princess has to say Mian Shou or Mr. Lang.Before the words came out, I heard Feng Guishou said in surprise: "I understand, quickly, turn off all the light sources immediately." As soon as he finished speaking, don't turn off his own headlights first. I was a little worried that this old guy didn't immediately Instead, ask, "What do you do with the lights out?"

Feng Guishou's voice was extremely anxious, and he shouted in a low voice: "It's too late to explain, I don't want to die here, so I should turn off the lights." While speaking, he also extinguished the dancing green candle on the ground.The situation is weird at this moment, I guess he didn't dare to play tricks, maybe there was something wrong, so he winked at Gu Wenmin and Tofu, the three of them had a tacit understanding, and they all turned off the headlights, and in an instant, the entire tomb plunged into darkness.

As soon as the lights in the tomb were turned off, the surroundings were so dark that one could barely see one's fingers, and when one thought of the three pale old corpses with teeth and claws on the head, one's scalp felt numb, and there was a chill in all directions.Tofu couldn't bear this atmosphere, Gu Wenmin's warm fingers pulled my left sleeve nervously, he held my right arm directly, and said tremblingly: "How do I feel, this lamp once Mie, it's a bit gloomy. Old Feng, what kind of riddle are you playing, what happened?" I was on the left and right, as if being entangled by a koala. That sense of unease.

In the darkness, apart from Tofu's voice, there was only the sound of the three corpses above hitting the coffin.

"Bang—bang bang!" The sound was very hollow in the tomb.

Feng Guishou's breath was a little short, and he said slowly: "I know what this is, it's a 'ghost mirror'."
