Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

Chapter 204 The Underground Light

"Just talk about it, it's a big deal, I promise I won't care about you." I leaned on his shoulder coquettishly, and said coquettishly by the way.

Brother Qi Ling saw that my persistent energy might be in the wrong place, so he turned his head slightly helplessly and said: "You have two months, if you dare to lose weight, I will punish you in my own way."

"Yo~ You mean to threaten me? Could it be that I'm so easily threatened?" I curled my lips speechlessly, a little dissatisfied, but I didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"Did you hear that?" Seeing that I didn't reply, Brother Qi Ling threw another sentence.

"I heard it!" I waved my feet and replied a little perfunctorily.

"Well, eat well." He added solemnly.

"Actually, to be honest, without you by my side, I have no motivation to cook. The main reason is that I don't have that mood, and I don't know who to eat the dishes I cook." I hugged his neck tightly, saying that I didn't realize it love story.

Brother Qiling paused after hearing this, but didn't say anything.

I thought he would be a little moved, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of reaction. This reaction is naturally a bit disappointing to me.Since he didn't express any opinions, I could only shut up as if I was being sentimental.

Brother Qi Ling was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "...you continue to talk!"

"What are you talking about? Isn't this all over?" I was confused by him.

"Keep talking, you can think whatever you want, I like to hear you talk." After thinking about it, Brother Qiling held my hand tightly and continued to walk forward.

It was as if I had been swallowed with honey suddenly, and my whole body was so sweet that I was very happy in my heart.My habit of chattering when I have nothing to do, and his habit of not talking, to a certain extent, they are complementary, right?It's rare to get his approval, isn't this the legendary perfect match?

"Hey, don't you think it's noisy?" I said with a smile.

"..."

"When you were in love, you said that to make me happy. If it takes a long time in the future! Maybe you will just avoid it."

"..."

"Right?" Perhaps the journey was really boring, and I also wanted to tease him, so I couldn't help but relax my words.

"I don't think so, there's nothing I can do. Let me correct you, we've already gone through the marriage ceremony in the clan, so you're my wife, so there's no such thing as a relationship."

"Ah! Last time that counts? Isn't it too hasty? Besides, people say that getting married is the happiest time in your life, but I'm so..." At this point, I realized that I seemed to have made a slip of the tongue, so I quickly stopped .

"That incident in my heart has already festered into a wound, and the wound has scabbed into a scar. Even though I understand the difficulties of the two of them at that time, I can't let go of the pain after all, and I don't even have the courage to recall it."

Hearing this, Brother Qi Ling lowered his head. After a long time, he sighed and said softly, "I'm the one who failed you."

Seeing him like this, I was a little stunned.Besides, it was not my wish to make the atmosphere like this, so I hugged him tightly and coaxed: "It's okay! It's been so long! Ma'am, I have a lot of adults, so I won't care about it with you."

However, Brother Qi Ling didn't answer any more, just hurried on his way, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

I lay on his back and started to feel uneasy, and I cursed myself in my heart: "I'm really convinced of this crap!" At this moment, that strange green light lit up at the right time, and slowly, it covered the surrounding area again. There was a faint green light.I put away the light source in my hand, and with this green light, it is also feasible to travel.

"Where do you think this light source is? It's so weird that it turns on and off. When I saw it from outside the ancient city, I thought it was a time-saving energy-saving lamp arranged by the ancients!" I giggled and found a spot for myself. topic.

However, this topic did not arouse Brother Ling's interest.I had no choice but to bite the bullet in embarrassment and continue talking: "At that time, old man Qi also said that the layout here is excellent, and the wisdom of the ancestors is amazing. He also said that it is a pity that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. What a dragon's lair But he was trapped in Youdu, what do you mean by his words? What is trapped here? Could it be that there are really dragons in the world?"

"..." Brother Qi Ling continued to remain silent, and I wondered if he had closed his hearing and didn't listen to what I said at all.

"Stop it... put me down!" I patted his shoulder with a bit of a bad tone.

Brother Qi Ling stopped, but he didn't put me down, but asked: "What else did he say?"

When I heard him answer the words like this, I realized that he was actually listening, and most of my anger disappeared for a while.Then he recalled: "He said that things are still there, no matter how many years have passed, they belong to him or something! It's probably like this, do you know what it means?"

Brother Qi Ling ignored me, thought for a while, and then asked: "Are you tired, do you want to take a break?"

I just felt like my brain was hit by a sudden blow. After I told you so much, it’s fine if you don’t answer, and you still play tricks on me?

"I'm tired, chatting with you, sooner or later I'll get sick from boredom." I complained desperately in my heart.

Brother Qi Ling saw that I didn't answer, so he continued to move forward, and said as he walked, "Dragon, of course there are. These are snake-shaped monsters, some have horns, and some have no horns. It is said that snakes shed their skin and become pythons." It takes 500 years to turn into a jiao, but only a thousand years to turn into a dragon."

"You mean, have you seen it?" After hearing what he said, my interest was immediately raised.

"I've seen it before." He said in a very flat tone, but in my guess, he seemed to have seen the shadow of a sword.

"Did you not only see it, but also captured it? Beat it? Killed it?" I kept asking curiously.

Brother Qi Ling shook his head, and said helplessly, "It's not easy to meet, but it's even more difficult to hunt and kill. Don't say that it is a creature that can run and fly. The dragon lin and claws alone Incredibly hard."

"So, it is the king of the species, invulnerable?" I wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with the back of my hand.

"It can be said that, but everything in the world is mutual generation and mutual restraint. If you want to evolve into a truly invulnerable, you have to hide your weaknesses."

"Specifically?"

"Have you ever heard of Ni Lin?"

"Yes, I have!"

"It is said that there is an inverted scale at the lower end of the dragon's throat. Once it is touched, it will definitely be attacked by it. At the same time, this place is also the only weak point of its whole body. It is almost certain to die with one blow. But This location is relatively hidden, if you want to find it, you have to venture close to it, and you will have a chance to find it when it really diverts its attention."

"Well, you know a lot." Hearing this, I couldn't help but praise.

"The spread is unbelievable, just listen to it as a story." Brother Qiling leisurely told the ancient story in a very steady tone. I can completely understand that he is trying to appease my little emotions. ?

However, it has been some time since we both returned to the ground of Wangcheng. Why don't we see Mr. Qi and the others chasing after us? Could it be that we are not actually their target, and the attack on me was just incidental?The real purpose - is it him?

"Do you know who saved me before you just now?" I looked around to make sure no one was following me, so I asked Brother Ling in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, he only snorted coldly, and said casually, "Think for yourself."

"I think it's not impossible, but I really can't figure out some things!" I yelled at him.

"Don't worry, it's just a matter of time." After saying this, Brother Qi Ling just kept silent.We passed through the main hall in the royal city and entered the central area.The corridor is several times wider than the previous one, and it is full of stone figurines.

"Put me down! I want to see." I patted Brother Ling on the shoulder again, motioning him to put me down.

He didn't hesitate this time. After letting me touch the ground lightly, he lifted the bag on my back.I lit some light and carefully observed these figurines. What is surprising is that they are all in a single shape, all lying on the ground with their hands clasped in front of their chests.It's like praying, and it's like worshiping.An inexplicable emotion surged in my heart, and I always felt that the scene in front of me was a bit familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before.

"The carving process is relatively rough. It should be because iron smelting technology was not invented at that time, and the tools were limited, so the facial expressions of these stone figurines were relatively vague. However, they have a common feature, that is, the direction they are facing. It's the unified direction." After speaking, I propped up my knees and struggled to get up.

Seeing this, Brother Qi Ling quickly reached out to help me.I raised my head and looked at him, and the two of them turned to the direction where the stone figurines were facing. There was a raised platform with neat stone steps built on it.

"Come on, let's go over there and have a look." I pulled Brother Ling, ignoring my foot injury, and walked quickly to the base of the platform.I was attracted by a smooth bluestone slab.

I saw that it was full of dense ancient characters, because the content was completely beyond my cognition, so I couldn't answer it at all.

"Do you know what is written on it?" I looked up and asked Brother Ling.

He shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand either.

It's a pity that all the tools I carry with me are in my bag, and I didn't take them down, otherwise I can go back and study one or two.Just as I was thinking, the green light dimmed again, so I had to take out the flashlight and prepare to turn it on again.

At this moment, a bright light suddenly shot in from above and was casting on the stone slab, reflecting the characters on it extremely clearly.Brother Qiling and I were astonished by this sudden turn of events, and at the same time turned our gazes upwards.

About tens of meters above, a hazy black shadow flashed past, and this beam of light was projected from there.What the hell does this happen?

Brother Qi Ling stared at where the light came from, and after a while, he said, "It's a crystal slab that reflects the sunlight from the bottom of the water."

"Wow, if it is true as you said, the wisdom of the ancients in building according to local conditions is really amazing. Moreover, issues such as waterproof and collapse prevention must also be considered." I couldn't help but admire what I saw.

"Your legs are inconvenient, wait here for a while, I'll go up and have a look." After speaking, Brother Ling quickly climbed up the stone steps without waiting for my reaction.

I stretched out my hand to let the sunlight shine on my palm. Although there was no warmth, it was such a miracle that I was able to touch the sunlight in the king city at the bottom of the lake. No one would dare to believe it.What was the builder thinking?According to reason, isn't yin house the most taboo of yang?

Seeing that Brother Ling had already climbed to the top, I couldn't suppress my curiosity any longer, and quietly followed.In fact, the foot injury didn't hurt much anymore, but I was a little tired, and it really took me a lot of effort to climb these steps.When I finally climbed to the top, I found that there was a round platform about a few meters in size above the platform. Several stone figurines stood on the platform, holding a half-sized pottery in both hands.Bowed and looked down.I poked my head out and took a look in the middle of the platform, only to see a large sunken hole inside, dark and unfathomable.

The author has something to say:
