Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

Chapter 24 The Mysterious Wizard

"Damn it, look at Fat Brother's clothes being ripped off by that female ghost," he said, raising the tattered pieces of clothes hanging on his arms.

"What's going on here?" Wu Xie asked Poker Bottle.

Poker-Face's face was terribly cold, he didn't answer, he just kicked against the wall, quickly snatched some lamp ash from the noise of the lamp, and frowned deeply, then fell into deep thought.

We didn't dare to disturb him, and everyone was silent for a while.

"The lamp oil is mixed with dementor bones, which are made of human bones that were extremely resentful and died. Just engrave a spell on it, grind it into powder and add it to the lamp oil. It will evaporate in the air with the burning of the lamp, and you can smell it." People will naturally imagine the most feared thing in their hearts and put themselves in this danger. If they don't wake up in time, I'm afraid the person in the hallucination will also die in the terrible scene they created. In other words, if If we couldn't wake up just now, then we would really die." Poker-Face said calmly.

"Then why did we wake up again?" Wu Xie asked.

"I think if it wasn't because all the dementor bones in the lamp were burned out, it was because Zilin smashed the magic staff to make the spell invalid." Poker Fing gave me a flat look, without any emotion.

I'm a little disappointed, at least I should be praised for saving a group of people once by mistake!

"Damn it, the fat man is really being cheated. Since the lid of the coffin is automatically opened, let's not be stunned. Let's see what good things are there!" The fat man got up and patted his clothes. Just go to the coffin.

I also leaned over curiously.

Wu Xie said, "Fatty, do you still want to fix your northern faction's false trick of lighting candles and then opening coffins to touch gold?"

The fat guy chuckled and said, "Hey, now the owner of the tomb owes me a set of good clothes. I'm here to collect the debt from him. As a debt collector, I can't be so polite, and since they are so enthusiastic, they opened the door by themselves." , just search it, and take what you have.” After speaking, he climbed up the coffin and began to grope.

I have been unable to figure out, if it was just a hallucination, then what kind of force was used to open the lid of the coffin, my face still hurts as if I had been slapped hard, and I can't think of a reason That’s all, I shook my head. This journey has completely overturned all kinds of atheism and materialism in my heart. Whether I can accept it or not, there are indeed many things in nature that science cannot reasonably explain.

"Zilin, don't be in a daze, come and see where your smashed dharma staff is here?" Wu Xie stood beside the coffin and beckoned me over.

Taking a closer look, there is really a pile of broken sapphire and turquoise fragments next to the dry male corpse inside.

My heart tightened, and my doubts deepened.

Poker-Face patted me lightly on the shoulder and said, "Not everything in the world will have an answer, don't think too much, it's important to find your father quickly."

"Yeah." I smiled and nodded at him. His comfort at this time was very useful to me, and I am grateful that he reminded me of what is the most important thing at the moment.

"Uh...can you guys flirt later? Sister, I need you to come and do me a favor." The fat man seemed to have touched nothing from the coffin of the male corpse, and jumped onto the coffin of the female corpse. If you have scruples and don't want to do it, you can only turn to me for help.

"What's the matter?" I felt a little funny seeing his embarrassment, and walked over quickly.

"I feel that men and women don't kiss each other, and she's been dead for thousands of years. It's not good for a man like me to do something to her!" The fat man said with a wry smile.

"Damn! Fatty, don't be so hypocritical. The female corpses you touched were not a thousand, but eight hundred. I didn't see you so graceful when you beat someone just now." Wu Xie on the side couldn't help but murmur.

"Comrade Tianzhen, I have always been very gentlemanly towards ladies, and she didn't seem so beautiful just now!" Fat Brother said innocently.

"Beautiful?" I leaned over curiously, the female corpse in front of me was lifelike, it was really beautiful, and it felt astonishing, it was completely different from when the corpse was picked up just now, maybe I was so scared that I couldn't use my reason to look at it The face naturally feels extremely distorted and terrifying, and now she is lying quietly, with long eyelashes covering the eyelids, with a deep outline, the facial features are very delicate, the complexion is fair and delicate, as if blown to pieces , better than mine, it doesn't look like a dead person at all, it seems to be asleep. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it was the corpse of an ancient person thousands of years ago. In comparison, the female corpse of Mawangdui What's the point!

"This... is really very different from that female ghost just now, and why does she look like she just died, while the male corpse is almost waxed into a mummy?" I asked suspiciously.

"That's right, so there must be some great treasure on it, so that its body can last for a long time." The fat man nodded firmly, and then waved his hand to me, motioning for me to come forward and touch his body.

"Please, how could I do that." I rolled my eyes at him, shook my head, and refused.

Fat Brother stared at me helplessly, then turned to Wu Xie and said, "Naive, why don't you go up?"

"I have an injury on my hand, so I can't move the corpse!" Wu Xie raised his arm and made an excuse at will.

Look at Poker Bottle again, he is leaning indifferently on the edge of another coffin, looking at us with a half-smile.

The fat brother glanced at Poker Bottle, and after all, he still didn't dare to command him. Wu Xie and I laughed so hard that we almost felt internal injuries.

"Oh, forget it, Fatty, I won't do anything anymore." He finally gave up and rolled over from the coffin, and sat down depressed.

I saw that he was upset and suddenly couldn't bear it, so I endured the fear and approached the female corpse from head to toe. I didn't see any funerary objects in the coffin except the corpse. I couldn't help but wondered. When it comes to time, no matter what, you will also wear one or two pieces of personal jewelry! "Just as I was looking east and west, I suddenly saw something engraved in the opened lid of the inner coffin.

He couldn't help saying to them: "Come and see, there is something in this cover."

"What?" Fat Brother was overjoyed, thinking that I had found the treasure, he quickly came over, and Poker Bottle also came over, and he and he struggled to remove the stone slabs of the inner and outer coffins and then turned the lid of the inner coffin on the ground.

We took a closer look and found that it seemed to be a painting, a very weird painting.

What the painting seems to describe is a towering mountain with a big cave inside. In the middle of the cave sits a tall and thin man with a dharma staff in his hand. A large crowd surrounds the mountain The people climbing up with weapons are not dressed like ordinary people, because they are dressed like well-trained officers and soldiers with long arrows, bows and spears in their hands. I don't know if they want to climb into the cave to catch that tall and thin man.

Looking further down, their goal was indeed aimed at the man in the cave, because they immediately surrounded the entrance of the cave and set a big fire outside, but a strange thing happened, the fire did not burn into the entrance of the cave, but inside It was as if a gust of wind blew up and burned the fire to the group of people outside. The group of burned people rolled down from the mountain one after another, causing countless casualties, and then caused a forest fire, burning the whole mountain red.

I am very curious about the fate of that tall and thin man, but in the chaotic face painting, his figure has not appeared again. Looking down, there is a stunning beauty dancing gracefully in a magnificent palace. Two rows of people were sitting on either side of the hall, pushing cups and drinking. In the center of the hall sat a bearded man, wearing a red robe and a crown. The top of the crown was still shining with a dim yellow light. What is it.

Sitting beside him was a tall and thin man with a dagger in his hand, he should be the one in the cave just now, the fire really didn't burn this man to death, on the contrary, he was sitting beside the supreme monarch at this time , it seems that at this time, he has already taken power.

Afterwards, the banquet seemed to be over, the crowd receded, the king in the center was embraced by dancing beauties into the inner hall, and only the tall and thin man was left alone in the huge hall, holding a wine glass and drinking to himself. The following scene made the four of us horrified He was horrified, and saw that tall and thin man also entered the inner hall staggering from side to side, he didn't even have legs, but gradually disappeared behind the bead curtain with his long tail dragging behind him.

Seeing this, the fat man let out a "hiss", took a breath, and he used a slight

Pointing to the painting with a trembling hand, he said, "Damn it, this man is a monster."

We looked at the oily face at the same time, and saw that his face sank and quickly ran to another coffin. We also followed, looked inside the male corpse, and did not see the long line in the painting. Tail, my heart is a little more settled.

Poker-Face signaled to Fat Brother to turn over the lid of this coffin. Sure enough, there was also a painting. Looking at this painting, our faces all turned white, and I was even more shocked as if I fell into the ice cave , stammeringly said: "This... If this guy is not a god, he is really a monster."

There are four people in the painting, dressed very strangely, we looked at each other in dismay, shit, there are four of us!Perhaps the imagination of the ancients could not imagine how people would dress up thousands of years later. This point can be ignored, but the content of this painting is really shocking, because it is more like a deduction. The scenes from the entrance of the robbery cave to the opening of the coffin are all drawn on it, like a movie playback.

We were so shocked that we couldn't utter a word, and Poker Face's face was even more gloomy and terrifying.

After a while, Fat Brother asked tremblingly: "I'm afraid there are really gods buried in this tomb, what should we do now?"

Wu Xie patted him on the shoulder seriously and said, "Fatty, don't be alarmist. Besides, if you are really a god, how can you die?"

I nodded to express my agreement, and said calmly: "It is said that in ancient times, there was a very mysterious set of divination and calculation. Guiguzi in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang in the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang in the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Bowen in the early Ming Dynasty, etc.," I said a lot in one breath, but I also wanted to convince myself to reduce my fear a little.

"That's too evil. Even if the mechanism in this tomb is designed by him, he can predict what kind of problems the tomb robbers will encounter when they come in, and how they will react to deal with it, but how could it be possible that even us Everyone knows?" Fat Brother asked me back.

I smiled calmly and said, "Brother Fat, have you ever heard a story that after Liu Bowen of the Ming Dynasty helped Zhu Yuanzhang to rule the world, he was very dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms. It means that no matter how powerful you Zhuge Liang are, you can only stand up to the Three Kingdoms, but I, Liu Bowen, can rule the world. Why do people in the world treat you better than me in terms of evaluation and reputation? Later, the more he thought about it, the more angry he was, and he simply dug Zhuge Liang’s tomb. He vented his anger and said: "Even if you Zhuge Liang are so smart and amazing, I'm afraid you can't predict that your grave will be dug after your death." When you were overwhelmed, you suddenly tripped over a stone tablet, and there was vaguely written on it "Liu, the boy of later generations." Ji, please retreat quickly, and I will not hold you accountable. "Liu Bowen was frightened out of his wits at once, so he knelt down and kowtowed to make amends, and then repaired Zhuge's tomb, offering incense and worshiping it like a god." At the end, I said that since Zhuge Liang could calculate that there would be Liu Bowen 1000 years later, maybe there would be one in the Zhou Dynasty Maybe even such a god-man!

The fat brother looked at me with half-belief and didn't say anything.

At this time, Wu Xie suddenly let out a "Huh", and then said, "There are still paintings here," pointing to the side of the coffin.

We leaned over, and Wu Xie pointed to the two pictures above, and said: The first picture roughly means that four people put the coffin lid on, and then evacuated safely, and the other picture shows that the four people did not put the coffin lid on and then... Then fell into hell. "Wu Xie said while looking at us in horror.

Poker bottle frowned again, he didn't speak from the beginning to the end, he didn't know what he was thinking.

These two pictures are like a multiple-choice question in front of us, but the answer is either life or death.

Fat Brother swallowed, he seemed to be really scared, he said tremblingly: "Then we must choose the one that will be covered and evacuated safely, since the zongzi in this tomb is better than Zhuge Liang, then we will Of course you can't beat him."

At this time, Pokerfing said coldly: "I'm afraid no matter how you choose, the result will be hell."
