Tomb Raider Live: Take the Stars to Touch the Gold

Chapter 82 You've Lived Too Long

Before Yang Ling and the others saw his movements, his hands had already grabbed the corpse's neck and lifted him out of the coffin. There was a scream from the corpse's throat, and it kept shaking.

All this happened so quickly that Yang Ling couldn't react at all, Poker Face said coldly to the corpse: "You've lived long enough to die."

With a burst of veins in the hand and a sound of bone bursting, the limbs of the corpse trembled non-stop. With the last kick, the skin quickly turned black.

They all stared at him dumbfounded. For a moment, no one knew what to say. They saw him throw the body on the ground, as if the jade figurine was nothing but rubbish. Yang Ling grabbed him, "What the hell are you doing?" Who is it? What kind of hatred do you have with King Lu Shang?"

Poker-face looked at Yang Ling for a while, and said, "So what if I know?"

The fat man said unconvinced: "What's the reason for this? We worked so hard to get down to this tomb and finally opened this coffin. If you strangled the corpse without saying a word, you should at least tell us the fucking truth." One sound!"

Poker Bottle turned his head and looked at the head of the blood corpse on the jade bed with a very sad expression. He pointed to a purple jade box at the back of the painted lacquer coffin and said, "Everything you need to know is in there." in the box."

Purple jade is amethyst, which is generally used to make amulets and evil spirits. Few people use it to make boxes. This box seems to be dug out of a whole piece of purple jade. It is very rare. Purple jade is not good at pondering, so this box There are no patterns on it, only a gold border is inlaid on the cover. Judging from its position, it should be used as a pillow for the corpse.

Generally, jade pillows are already very precious, and purple jade pillows are even more valuable. I am afraid that the emperor at that time did not have this kind of treatment.

Yang Ling and the others carefully took out the box and put it on the ground. The box was not locked. When I opened it, there was a roll of golden silk inlaid inside. The fiber of this thing was inlaid with gold thread, and it was very well preserved.

A few people unfolded it and saw that from the left it read "Book from King Ming Gongshang", followed by densely packed small characters.

Fatty seemed to be more interested in the jade figurine than the silk book. He couldn't understand it, so he mumbled a few times and ran to study the jade figurine. Poker bottle pulled out the knife from the tree and lay down on the side On the side of the jade bed, silently staring at the corpse of King Lu Shang, his eyes blurred.

Yang Ling and Zhong Hao sat next to him and carefully read the words on the silk script.

With Yang Ling's level, he can only understand some fragments, but by connecting these fragments together, one can see a general idea. The things recorded in this book of King Minggong Shang are simply unimaginable, if it is not because of so much experience Weird things, Yang Ling really can't believe that such things still exist in the world.

Next to the line of writing in the Dishu of King Minggong, there is a line of small characters, which is a preface written by himself. There are only a few lines of words, and all the major events from his birth to death are written in the back. If they are all translated, I'm afraid it will take ten days and a half months to figure it out, but fortunately, Yang Ling can understand the two most important things.

The first thing is how King Lu Shang got the ghost seal. The silk script was relatively brief, so Yang Ling sorted it out and read it out.

He inherited his father's official position at 25, and dug ancient tombs for the army of the Lu State, and gave gold to pay for the army. Once, he entered a tomb of unknown age, and there was a giant snake lying in the coffin. He didn't move. King Lu Shang was very courageous. He thought that the giant snake lying in the coffin must be a monster. He chopped up the snake with one knife and forcibly ordered the snake to be disemboweled. A purple gold box came out.

When Yang Ling saw this, he couldn't help being taken aback, wondering if the box he put in his bag was cut out of the snake's belly?

Seeing that Yang Ling stopped talking, Zhong Hao said impatiently, "Don't stop, keep talking!"

Yang Ling couldn't think about it, so he had to regain his senses and continue reading.

King Nalu Shang didn't pay much attention to the box, he thought it was swallowed by a snake, and when he was sleeping at night, he dreamed of an old man with a white beard and asked him, "Why did you kill me?"

King Lu Shang was very violent at ordinary times, he often killed people, and he forgot when he killed, and he didn't know who this old man was, so he said, "If you want to kill, kill it!"

The old man suddenly turned into a giant snake to bite him. Who knew that King Lu Shang was so fierce that he cut the snake with a knife in his dream, and then stepped on it to chop off the snake's head. Suddenly he begged for mercy, saying that his body had already been killed by him, and if his soul was killed by him again, he would never be reborn, and if he let it go, he would pass on two treasures.

Treasures can make him an extremely personable minister. Although the military officer who robbed the tomb at that time was under the direct management of the emperor, his status was very low, and King Lu Shang regarded himself as very high. This condition was very attractive to him, so he agreed.

The snake told him how to open the purple gold box in its belly, and also taught him how to use the treasure inside. After listening to it, King Lu Shang "knows the beauty of it", and felt that this matter was just a matter of life. Ying Tian knew that it should not be passed on to the world, so he chopped off the snake's head with one knife.

Seeing this, Yang Ling couldn't help smacking his tongue. King Lu Shang was too cruel.

At this time, the fat man ran over and asked, "That treasure must be the ghost seal, and the other one has never been mentioned in ancient books. Could it be this jade figurine?"

Yang Ling signaled him not to worry, and continued to look down.

After King Lu Shang woke up, he tried the method in his dream, and he opened the box, but he never wrote what treasure was inside. Don't let others know about the matter, so he killed the followers he brought along with their family members one by one, even the children who had just reached the first month of life were not spared.

Yang Ling took another breath when he saw this, and thought that King Lu Shang must have some psychological problems, otherwise how could he be so cruel.

The fat man said: "How could he kill so many people by himself? He must have used that treasure. I'm so anxious. Please see if there is anything written below it?"

Yang Ling scolded: "Why the hell are you talking so much nonsense, go clean up your jade figurines!"

The fat man grinned: "Okay, I don't want to interrupt, you fucking read it faster, your intestines are itching!"

Yang Ling ignored him and continued to look down.

For the next few decades, relying on those two treasures, he was invincible, whether it was war or government affairs, he was invincible in all battles, and he was brilliant. The emperor thought he was too old, so he removed his military power, and let him only need to fight instead of military affairs, which actually demoted him.
