The Dark Game of Tomb Raiders Notes

After I entered the house, I saw not only my grandparents, but also my second and third uncles.The second uncle is not very talkative, and the third uncle is just the opposite of him.On weekdays, my third uncle and I are the closest. He not only taught me some hunting skills, but also taught me to identify the direction and so on.We even secretly took out the fine wine collected by grandpa and drank it together. When we were discovered, grandpa wanted to punish us, and it was third uncle who resisted alone.

I saw that the elders in the family couldn't help but feel a little nervous. I kowtowed to my grandparents and saluted my second and third uncles according to the rules.Grandpa nodded and said, "Zhong'er, offer incense sticks to our ancestors."

I was slightly taken aback, and realized that my grandfather didn't officially let me into the "Wu family" until today, and they didn't fully accept me when they left me.With mixed feelings in my heart, I lowered my head and said, "Yes!!"

When I respectfully worshiped the tablet of my ancestors and put the incense in the incense burner, I realized that the tablet was written "Wang Gong XX".I involuntarily glanced at my grandpa, who nodded and said, "Zhong'er, grandpa has something to tell you today. Our Wu family was originally surnamed Wang. We were convicted for offending the imperial court. We were ordered to exterminate our family by the dog emperor 40 years ago. I am the only one left in the whole family who escaped by chance. After I escaped, I entered this forest because I was avoiding hunting, and I found this place by chance.”

I listened with my head down, as if I was hearing a story in an opera.

At this moment, grandpa said: "Zhong'er, although you are not a direct bloodline of my Wang family, you are not only raised by my son, but you have become a family with us in the past few years. Today, grandpa According to the rules, I will give you a new name with the ancestral surname——————Wang Zanghai.”

"Zhong'er, no, Zanghai thanked Grandpa." I looked up at Grandpa, saw his solemn expression, then lowered my face and asked, "Grandpa, why did our Wang family get convicted?"

The room was silent, and after a while I heard Grandpa say: "Zang Hai, get up and talk."

"Yes." After I answered, I stood up and looked directly at Grandpa.

Grandpa stroked his beard with his hand and asked, "Do you know what the kings of all ages want most? What are they most afraid of?"

After thinking for a while, I replied: "Longevity, death..."

The kings relied on violence and war to win, each said that he was the right man, and made the subjects kneel down and shout long live.If there really is a "true son of destiny", how can there be so many dynasties?Moreover, no king in history has lived to be over a hundred years old, let alone "Long Live".

People's desires are endless, and of course they hope to rule longer and farther after they have a country, so from "Qin Shihuang" to "Tang Taizong", whether they are "tyrants" or "Mingjun" are constantly pursuing the way of longevity.

Grandpa nodded, and then said: "Yes, the founding emperor of this dynasty is also the same. In order to find the method of longevity, he will spare no effort. He secretly organized a group of people to study various ancient books related to longevity, and Organized an army to search for various places with longevity legends. The ancestor of our Wang family was one of the researchers who participated in the research of ancient classics. My grandfather made a major discovery 60 years ago—————— A tribe of immortals hidden in the depths of Changbai Mountain was discovered."

"The tribe of the Immortals??" My heart skipped a beat when I heard this.

"Those long-lived beings, both men and women, have the appearance of heaven and man, and they can also control birds and beasts. When my grandfather saw them, he thought he had met a god." When the grandfather said this, his tone suddenly turned cold, "Who knows that they are not as good as beasts?" Heartless people!!"

After hearing this, I felt chills down my spine, and my grandfather continued: "It is said that the tribe of the Longevity has a rule for dealing with intruders from outside, and let the heavens decide the life and death of outsiders. They gave the ancestors two appearance coins according to the clan rules. The same pills came up, saying that as long as he takes one pill, he will be let go. But one of the pills can give you longevity, and the other will die immediately. It is up to him to choose." Grandpa continued: "The ancestors just chose longevity. pill."

I couldn't help but interjected when I heard this: "Is the ancestor really immortal?"

Grandpa nodded slightly: "After taking the medicine, the Longevity Tribe let him go as agreed, and his appearance did not age anymore."

Just when I was wondering, Grandpa closed his eyes and said after a while: "After the imperial court knew about this, they sent people to force him to reveal the location of the Longevity Tribe. The ancestors once promised not to reveal the location of the tribe no matter what, so they were ordered He was under house arrest in the palace. The Emperor Dog sent people to gather all the members of the Wang family and moved them to a hidden place to isolate themselves from the outside world. Twenty years later, the Emperor Dog suddenly sent troops to surround the Wang family and killed everyone..."

I couldn't help but let out an ah when I heard this, an inherently familiar sense of terror filled my heart.I seem to have heard and experienced such a thing...

I shook my head and said, "Are those immortals deliberately framing the ancestors?"

Grandpa nodded slightly and said: "They know that once the imperial court learns that he has the secret of longevity, they will definitely not let him go!"

I felt a chill in my heart, the immortal who was shocked by the world to be a heavenly man actually had such a vicious heart.Thanks to the ancestors of the Wang family, in order to keep their secrets, they got along with the whole family...

But why did the emperor destroy the Wang family after 20 years?I'm a bit confused...

"Grandpa, why did the dog emperor wait 20 years before attacking the Wang family?" I asked.

Grandpa shook his head, "No one knows." Grandpa stood up and said to me, "Zanghai, take off your shirt."

I was slightly taken aback and took off my shirt as I said.At this moment, grandma brought a box, and after opening it, there were some silver needles and medicine bottles inside.

Grandpa said to me: "Zanghai, kneel down."

I knelt down as I said, and I saw my grandfather holding the silver needle above his head and praying to the ancestral tablet: "Wang Zanghai is the sixth generation descendant of my Wang family, and now we are holding a coming-of-age ceremony."

After praying, Grandpa picked up the silver needle and stabbed it on my back.I gritted my teeth to resist the sharp pain. After about three hours, Grandpa finally took the silver needle away and said, "Li Cheng."

Then he stretched out his hand to support me and said, "Zang Hai, you have the totem of my Wang family on your back, and you will always be a part of my Wang family."

I was in so much pain that tears filled my eyes and I said, "Yes, Grandpa."

Grandma pulled me to a large bronze mirror, and I saw nine winding dragon-shaped patterns tattooed on the front and back of my right shoulder and right waist and abdomen...

No, no, that's not nine dragons, but nine snakes...

Such a bewildering blue-black light...
