Tomb Raider: The Fox's Ways to Seducing the Kirin

At the foot of the Qinling Mountains, in a homestay——

"No, Tian Zhen, didn't you say that you would keep an eye on your Third Uncle during this period of time and not come out? How come you can't sit still in less than a week? Why are you running to this broken place again?"

The fat man supported his elbows on the table, and used the chopsticks in his right hand to accurately pick up the last peanut from the plate in front of him and put it into his mouth.

Wu Xie had no appetite at all. He just leaned woodenly on the back of the chair, tapping his hands on the table from time to time, and sighed softly: "Alas, I don't know what I was thinking. I thought that Third Uncle is in the hospital now, so I can be quiet for a while."

"Who knew this map would suddenly appear in my shop? I asked my uncle, but he didn't know anything about it and kept telling me not to come."

The fat man finally cleared the food on the table and let out a long breath: "Then why don't you listen to your third uncle? If you want to know the origin of this silk book, I'll ask you about it. It's not too late to make plans later."

Wu Xie looked at the place where they were and realized that it was not a good place to talk. He just laughed dryly twice and didn't say anything else.

It was not until he returned to the guest room from the lobby that Wu Xie took out the silk book from the inner pocket of his clothes and placed it on the table together with the map he had drawn.

"Take a look for yourself." Wu Xie did not point it out directly, but just made a gesture to Fatty, and then he stepped aside a few steps to allow Fatty Wang behind him to come closer.

Fatty Wang looked at Wu Xie, then at the map on the table. For a moment, he had no idea what Wu Xie wanted him to look at.

After all, this silk book looked like a collection of scribbles, and it was the first time he had seen it. Even if he could see a hole in the picture, it was still confusing.

Wu Xie looked at Fatty's puzzled look and realized that Fatty had never seen the previous rubbing, so naturally he didn't know what this one was about.

Wu Xie had no other choice but to take out a pen from his pocket and mark the map he had drawn: "Do you remember what I told you last time?"

"what?"

"That's when I came here with Lao Yang, and my childhood friend died in there."

When Fatty heard this, he nodded in confusion. He didn't quite understand why Wu Xie wanted to bring up the past. After all, this was not a good thing for him.

Wu Xie saw Fatty Wang nod, and then he continued to tell the rest of the story: "After I returned, I received an email from... Lao Yang."

It was also the first time that Fatty heard such an absurd thing in real life. After all, if it happened in Douli, it might just be a simple supernatural event, after all, the place was filled with so much yin energy.

Just thinking about what Wu Xie had just said, Fatty Wang couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

"It's really strange that there is another door next to the crooked door. Are you sure it was sent by him and not a prank by someone else?"

Wu Xie shook his head: "Everyone who went in that day died, and those experiences were only known to him and me, no third person."

"At first I thought it was the materialization of the bronze sacred tree that brought him back to life, but now that I've seen this silk book, I know that both he and I were wrong. The most fundamental thing underneath is what determines this materialization."

"I don't know if what I'm going to do next is right, but I have to come here to restore everything to its original balance. Only by figuring out what's inside can I truly solve Lao Yang's problem. After all, I can't completely believe the email he sent me."

"Once his body becomes abnormal again due to the weakening of his materialization ability, he will definitely do it again, and more innocent people will be implicated."

Fatty Wang does not have as big ambitions as Wu Xie. Although he is a bit worldly and cannot understand Wu Xie's actions which do not benefit him at all and are fraught with danger, since he has recognized Wu Xie as his brother, he will accompany him to carry out the action even if he does not understand.

Seeing Fatty nod, Wu Xie returned to the topic: "Look at this place, it's where we met Zhu Jiuyin back then. At first I also thought that Zhu Jiuyin was something we imagined, but now it seems that's not the case. He showed up to protect that place."

"We have to go here and find this thing. At the same time, we can also see why those people hiding behind handed this silk book to me."

Fatty Wang grinned and put his hand on Wu Xie's shoulder: "Since we really want to go, then Fatty will definitely accompany you, even if it means going through fire and water, Fatty will accompany you!"

When Wu Xie heard Fatty Wang talking to him, he couldn't help but smile for the first time in the past two days.

"Okay, then it's a deal. We'll go into the mountains early tomorrow morning. I know which way to go, so we can get in faster."

"Okay, of course it would be even better if there were some treasures in there that Fatty could get some of."

"Yes, yes, there must be. When you find it, it will all be yours."

"It's a word."
