Tomb Raider: Beginning Wu Xie was badly tricked

Chapter 27 Desire for Immortality

Wu Xie had to admire Chen Pi A Si's scheming.

At the same time, he was more alert to Chen Pi A Si.

Don't think that he can be underestimated because he is old.

After all, the old saying is good, the old ginger is still spicy.

Without revealing any key information, it can arouse people's curiosity and desire to explore the secrets.

It makes people willing to escort him.

Fortunately, the people on their side are firm, otherwise they would have been fooled by him and rushed up all at once.

Wu Xie pretended not to see Chen Pi A Si's intention.

In his heart, he also had some guesses about Wang Canghai's behavior.

Wang Canghai has set foot in many ancient tombs, including the Qixing Lu Palace, the Xisha Seabed Shipwreck Tomb, and the Queen Mother Palace.

And he designed so many things to lead everyone to the Yunding Palace.

It is definitely not as simple as immortality.

Wu Xie felt that Wang Canghai was playing a big game of chess, and those who found the Yunding Palace based on clues might all be chess pieces on his chessboard.

Of course, Wu Xie was very interested and wanted to reveal the answer himself.

Or he wanted to play chess with Wang Canghai to see who was the chess player and who was the chess piece.

And the Wang family hiding behind, I don’t know how many of the Nine Gates or their teams they have infiltrated.

The Wang family is like rats in the gutter, too good at hiding.

One day, Wu Xie also wants to root them out, which is also his responsibility.

But Wu Xie didn’t think about it further now, anyway, he would stop the enemy and cover the water.

Strong strength is not afraid of all conspiracies and plots.

After shaking off the thoughts in his mind, Wu Xie looked at Chenpi A Si, waiting for his next words.

"Come and look at the words on the mural, and then look at this snake-browed bronze fish, can you see anything?"

Wu Xie was also curious about the third snake-browed bronze fish, so he took it and took out a magnifying glass from his bag to take a look: "Jurchen text?"

"Yes, it seems that your uncle has put a lot of effort into you, and he can tell it at a glance."

"Can you translate it?"

"Not bad, I used to help my family make rubbings, and I am also very interested in ancient texts, and I often look up some ancient books and materials..."

Wu Xie carefully looked at the fish scales on the snake-browed bronze fish. After magnifying a small piece of fish scales with a magnifying glass, he could actually see a lot of words on it.

"After the war between Dongxia and Mongolia, they hid in the mountains and forests. The emperor emerged from the ground, his body was not human, he hoped to live forever, and coexisted with gods. The throne was passed down for fourteen generations, and he died after a hundred years."

"This..."

"Tian Zhen, what you mean is that the emperor of Dongxia is not human?"

"Of course not, the emperors in ancient times were self-important, didn't they all call themselves the real dragon emperor, were they dragons?"

"No, did you hear it clearly? 'The emperor emerged from the ground, his body was not human', which means that the emperor of Dongxia crawled out of the ground, his body was not human at all, this sentence should be understood in this way, right?"

"It is right to understand the literal meaning, but this is only Wang Canghai's one-sided statement. Whether the records in his snake-browed bronze fish are true or false, only he knows."

"That's right, who knows if he has any conspiracy, whether he deliberately set this trap for everyone to jump into." The fat man hit the nail on the head.

"Let's not talk about other things first. Do you feel that the words on the snake-browed bronze fish and the murals seem to echo each other?"

"Especially, are 'Seeing longevity, coexisting with gods' similar to the sacrificial pictures on the murals?"

As Wu Xie and Chenpi Ah Si speculated, everyone roughly understood one thing.

That is, "The emperors of Dongxia Kingdom were not human beings, but monsters that crawled out of the ground. But this monster can live a long life."

"That's why there is the phrase 'coexisting with gods'!"

"Damn! Naive, do you have to make it so fantasy?" The fat man felt more and more incredible the more he listened. Why did it develop more and more towards fantasy?

"Then what do these murals tell? They are full of centipedes, so many sacrificial scenes, and they talk about emperors and so on."

"Could it be that the emperor of Dongxia Kingdom is the product of the hybridization of centipedes and humans??" The fat man was disgusted by his own idea. How could the emperor of Dongxia Kingdom be a centipede?

Could it be that the people of Dongxia Country can't even tell the difference between a human and a centipede?

How is that possible?

They are not collectively blind!

"Do you have to be so strong?"

After the fat man finished speaking, everyone saw his eyes full of shock and even more weirdness.

No one expected that this fat man would say something so shocking.

In order to prevent the fat man from saying anything shocking again, Wu Xie decisively chose to change the subject.

"This mural roughly describes the development history of Dongxia..."

"The development of a country is inseparable from wars. There must be victory and defeat in wars. Dongxia is the defeated party."

"After the first emperor of Dongxia was defeated, he fled to Changbai Mountain to avoid the world..."

"Then is the emperor of Dongxia really not a human?"

"I see a lot of sacrificial content on this mural, and the emperor of Dongxia is so young!"

"But the strange thing is that the emperors on the fourteen murals seem to have the same appearance. Is it deliberately painted like this or is it actually the same person?"

"Is it true that after every sacrifice, he can gain special energy and become younger, or even immortal?"

"Isn't it true what is recorded on this snake-browed bronze fish?"

Although the fat man doubted the authenticity of the record on the snake-browed bronze fish, human nature made him curious.

"Impossible, if it was immortality, it would be impossible for the son to live only fourteen generations, and the Dongxia Kingdom would not be destroyed in the end."

"Besides, if the Dongxia emperor could really live forever, it would not be difficult for him to unify the world."

"But living for fourteen generations is also a miracle among miracles! It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a demigod!"

"Fourteen generations, add up to hundreds of years, right? Even if it's not immortality, it's super longevity. I really want to see the secret of the Dongxia emperor's longevity."

Chenpi Ah Si's suggestive words aroused everyone's inner desire for longevity.

Others were also shocked by these hundreds of years.

What followed was an extremely fanatical look in his eyes, and his breathing became a little heavier.

According to the average age of humans in today's society, it is around 90 years old, which is already very long-lived.

But the Dongxia emperor's hundreds of years are conceivable. Who doesn't want to live longer? ?

Wu Xie looked at the people besides them, and the others seemed to have used some kind of fantasy.

He couldn't help but shook his head with a bitter smile.

Chen Pi A Si knew how to grasp people's hearts, and he could easily stir up the most primitive desires in human hearts with just a few words.

As long as people have desires, they can be fearless of any difficulties and dangers.

It must be said that Chen Pi A Si's calculations were very loud.

No one noticed that a faint light flashed in the depths of Chen Pi A Si's eyes.

"I said, why do you think so much and guess so much? Why don't you just do it?"

"Yes, Fatty is right. Regardless of whether the information left by Wang Canghai on the snake-browed bronze fish is true or false."

"Since there is such a statement, it may not be groundless."

"We can treat it as true for the time being. After exploring the tomb, we will naturally be able to distinguish the true from the false."

After Chen Pi A Si finished speaking, the whole space suddenly became silent, and everyone fell into deep thought, but what they were thinking about, it is unknown.

Wu Xie did not say a word.

Since Chenpi Ah Si likes to show off, let him show off!

It would be best if he could show off the beauty of a flower...

"Then let's go! What are you waiting for? We've finished looking at the murals, why don't you leave and drive the stakes?"

"I feel like those underworld objects are calling and waving to me, they're asking me to hurry up!"

Finally, it was the fat man who broke the silence.

"Then keep moving forward!"

Chenpi Ah Si gave orders, as if he was the leader.

Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling looked at each other without saying anything, and the two slowly walked at the back.

"Brother, what do you think this old man is planning?"

"He's spying on the secret of immortality..." Zhang Qiling narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a rare solemn expression.

"Smart..."

"But this seems to be a secret of your family or something you want to protect? You don't stop it?"

After Wu Xie finished speaking, Zhang Qiling suddenly turned his head and looked at Wu Xie.

There was obvious shock in the depths of his eyes, but it was fleeting. Wu Xie was very careful in his observation, otherwise he would not have noticed it.

"Brother, you don't need to be shocked or guard against me. I said I can help you. I have no ill will towards you."

"And we have been in and out of life and death several times. You should know my character. I am someone you can trust."

"And I also know the purpose of your coming to Changbai Mountain..."

"You want to regain your memory and fulfill your responsibilities. I can help you..."

Zhang Qiling was shocked in his heart. He always knew that Wu Xie was more mysterious and not as simple as he seemed.

But he didn't know when he actually peeped into these secrets.

Wu Sanxing probably wouldn't tell him, so he could only have investigated it himself. Being able to investigate these also proved that he was quite capable.

"Let's talk about it later!!" Zhang Qiling retracted his thoughts and did not answer Wu Xie directly.

Wu Xie shrugged!

He knew that he couldn't change his decision in a short time. After all, this guy had been used to it for decades and handled everything by himself.

"Okay! If you need me, please let me know. I will do my best..."

Wu Xie patted Zhang Qiling on the shoulder and ended the topic.

The man who made money this time did not say anything, but just nodded lightly.

While they were talking, the large group had already walked through the entire passage with murals.

The length was about thirty or forty meters.

Although Wu Xie was talking to Zhang Qiling in a low voice, he also roughly scanned the murals along the way.

They basically sang praises to their war deeds, which seemed a bit like Huang Po selling melons to Wu Xie.

Such a long mural was only about war or sacrifice, and there was no information about longevity.

While watching the murals, everyone did not dare to be careless. Who knows if something will suddenly come out from a corner?

General ancient tombs are extremely dangerous, let alone such a large imperial tomb.

"This... After seeing the murals, which way should we go next?"

"There are no traps in this passage with murals, but who knows if there will be any traps in the passage behind?"

"It looks dark and a bit scary."

"Old man, how about using your unique skills to test it?"

The fat man suddenly spoke, and after he finished speaking, there was still a slight echo in the passage, which felt like a lingering sound.

Wu Xie was about to ask the fat man to stop making trouble, how could he order Chen Pi A Si to do the work.

Before he could say anything, Chen Ping A Si responded to the fat man and even agreed with him.

"It should be so!"

"Then wait a moment, let me explore the way first..."

Chen Pi A Si said, and took out his iron beads and hit them directly at the deep passage in front.

Throwing beads to ask for directions!

The iron beads bounced back and forth in the passage, and they were particularly clear in this quiet environment.

Da Da Da...

Everyone subconsciously held their breath, waiting for Chen Pi A Si's judgment.

Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling were listening attentively...

Maybe not as accurate as Chen Pi A Si, but for masters, they can also hear a general idea.

Judging from the sound, there are no secret passages in this passage, so it is safe for the time being.

After Wu Xie finished listening, he looked at Chen Pi A Si who was still listening with his eyes closed, but he was a little confused about his behavior.

He felt that his attitude towards Fatty was a little unusual.

Could it be that he appreciated Fatty's great assist?

Otherwise, Wu Xie couldn't figure out why he was like this.

About a minute later.

"It's safe, you can pass..."

Chen Pi A Si said, and he took the lead and walked into the deep passage.

Soon, everyone passed through the passage and turned a corner, and a huge stone door stood in front of them.

Just looking at this stone door gave people a feeling of gloom and horror.

For nothing else, there were two huge statues of centipedes carved on the door, entangled, and I don't know if they were mating or playing.

In short, the two big guys together were densely packed with feet, and it looked like intensive phobia was going to occur.

There was also a feeling of nausea.

"Is this thing playing a double dragon playing with a pearl? It's so dark, can they see it?"

Everyone was a little surprised by Fatty's description.

What the hell are these two dragons playing with a pearl...

What the hell is invisible...

No matter how you look at it, it looks like two long balls of meat are having sex there.

Chenpi Ah Si ignored the fat man and fumbled around the door, looking for the mechanism.

Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling watched from behind, not saying a word the whole time.

Pan and Shunzi were like invisible men, not talking if they could.

They were all listening to everyone's discussion silently.

Wu Xie always felt that this door was a bit weird and dangerous.

The imperial mausoleum's burial mausoleum doesn't seem to be that easy to enter, right?

However, at this time, Chenpi Ah Si found the mechanism.

Without even saying hello, he activated the mechanism on the gate.

The mechanism clicked and the door trembled.

Then, it slowly moved away...

Wu Xie suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

"Oh no! There's a trap, get down..."

"Get down!"

Two shouts rang out at the same time.
