[Tomb Raiders Notes] Play to the depths, enter the venue by yourself

Uncover and expose

Wu Xie took a rough look at the figure inside the cocoon, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. First, the shape of the corpse was too weird. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like a human being. Second, the height was too high. The ancient people were about 1.5 Mi Liu, the absolute length of the light and shadow of this amber corpse has exceeded two meters. He is still curled up, and when he stretches out, it will probably reach about three meters.

After watching for a long time, Wu Xie couldn't see why, and said, "Could it be a monkey? The ancient ape in the Western Zhou Dynasty was very big."

In ancient times, the deep mountains and old forests in Qinchuan, eight hundred miles away, were several times deeper than it is now. There are often legends about a monkey more than four meters tall, which was said to be a Xiongshan ghost, eating humans and animals, and was later killed. There were a few rare ones, and they were all killed as ghosts.

Wu Xie guessed in his heart, could it be something like this?

False Zhang Yan shook his head, "This kind of bronze tree, called the Tongtian Tree at that time, had a strong religious symbolic meaning. It represented an immaterial world other than the human world. Do you know how expensive bronze was at that time? With so much bronze, you can buy the entire Western Zhou Dynasty. Put a monkey on it, crazy?"

Seeing what he said with confidence, Wu Xie should know what's in it, so she asked him, "Did you know there was any information about this place earlier?"

False Zhang Yan took a breath, "According to Hemu Jishang, after those soldiers climbed up, they saw Banagji'em's body."

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment when he was told that Banaji'em, in Manchu mythology, was a huge pregnant goddess who ruled over the land.But here... Wu Xie was a little confused, not knowing what was meant here.

The other party continued: "I didn't know what it meant when I read the records, but when I saw the huge coffin chamber above it was empty, I suddenly understood what it meant to see Banagji'em's body? "

Wu Xie was even more stunned, still not knowing what he wanted to convey.

Fake Zhang Yan saw that Wu Xie still couldn't react, and said: "The root system of the banyan tree is notoriously tricky. In some places in Guangzhou, it often grows into the central air-conditioning pipes. Such a vigorous thing, in that coffin, is actually just Growing against the coffin wall, don’t you understand what this means?”

Wu Xie woke up instantly, looked at him dumbfounded, and said, "What do you mean, there was a corpse in the coffin above? That's why the banyan tree roots that grow into the coffin can't grow wantonly?"

Fake Zhang Yan nodded immediately,

Wu Xie couldn't believe it and said, "Fart, how big is this corpse, you don't fucking fool people here."

The fake Zhang Yan was not panicked at all, and said leisurely: "Don't believe it, don't you think about it, just such a pillar, can we normal people repair it?"

Seeing that Wu Xie still didn't believe it, he continued to hehe and said: "Wait a minute we go up, you can see the ratio between the person and the bronze tree on the decorative relief on the inner wall of the coffin, and you will believe it. This time, we poured this one Dou, it’s not our kind. It’s another kind of people, a kind of giant nation that once lived with our ancestors, but finally became extinct for unknown reasons.”

Wu Xie was guided to carefully recall the reliefs he saw before, and a light seemed to flash in his mind, and he said in his heart, really!When he watched it just now, he didn't notice that compared with the actual bronze tree, these people who built the bronze tree were indeed not as small as himself. The casting of the bronze tree was beside them, but it was only three times their height. times, and even the engraved hands here are realistic... The proportion above, is it the real proportion of the architectural scene at that time?

False Zhang Yan saw that Wu Xie's face was uncertain, but he was indeed persuaded, so he continued his efforts immediately, "Let me tell you, I still have a few scrolls of bamboo slips of unknown age at home, do you know what they are talking about? Xia Dao We all know how long the history of Shang was. Why is it divided so long? Do you know something about it? Because there are no historical records! My bamboo slips were written by an ancient scholar in the Western Han Dynasty. During this period, there may still be a dynasty, but for some reason, there is no record at all, you can see that even such an important thing can completely disappear in history, what is so strange about the disappearance of a strange nation?"

As he said that, he patted Wu Xie subconsciously, and started to get down to business, "Okay, don't think about it, let's see what the person in the cocoon looks like?"

Wu Xie was stunned by the other party's words, but when he realized it, the fake Zhang Yan had already squatted down, carefully pasting the surface of the amber, trying to see clearly the face of the corpse inside.

He glanced at it first, as if he still couldn't see clearly, then changed the angle in front of Wu Xie, then suddenly jumped up, took a big step back in fright, and shouted: "Is there a mistake!"

All of a sudden, the whole cocoon was shaking, Wu Xie was startled, and pushed him to stop him from retreating to her, and asked, "What did you see!"

False Zhang Yan immediately turned his head to look at Wu Xie, with a puzzled look on his face, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything after moving his mouth, and finally said: "I don't know what to say, you can go and see for yourself!"

Wu Xie used a flashlight to illuminate the position he was looking at just now. It was blurry, and he couldn't see anything unless he looked closely, so he asked the other party to stay there and walked over by himself, squatted down, and followed the angle the other party had just looked at. , slowly looked over.

I saw a face as big as a washbasin frozen in the transparent amber, and it turned out to be an old itchy face!

Wu Xie just glanced at it, and was completely stunned. An extreme chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead, almost instinctively, Wu Xie immediately jumped up and retreated, almost slipping down into the abyss on the side.

Fake Zhang Yan also turned pale, and asked after a while, "How is it? Did you see it clearly?"

Wu Xie was so frightened that he didn't listen to what the other party said later. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and only started thinking again after the other party asked again. He said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not sure I saw it. What, it's impossible!" As he spoke, he suddenly looked at the fake Zhang Yan, "You tell me the truth, where is the old itching?"

The face of the corpse had been trapped in the cocoon for thousands of years. Although the outside air was cut off, the water inside still radiated out of the body, so the whole face shrunk slightly inward and stuck to the skull, looking a bit hideous , but on the whole, it is relatively well preserved, and Wu Xie can see clearly that it is the old itchy face.Those eyes, that nose, all of them are extremely similar. The weirdest thing is that the hemorrhoids on Old Itch's face and the scars from fighting when he was a child are all there. This corpse seems to be Old Itch magnified and curled up in amber. It's like a cocoon in a corpse, which makes people's scalp numb, cold sweat all over their bodies, and they don't know what they are afraid of.

Before the counterfeit could answer, Wu Xie rubbed his eyes, slapped himself a few times, sobered up a bit, then leaned over to take a look, immediately closed his eyes and stepped back, gritted his teeth and cursed, but his heart I'm completely sure - yes, it's his face, I can't see it wrong.He couldn't help crying in his heart, life is not a novel, how could there be such a fantasy thing?What the hell is going on here?

False Zhang Yan is just old itch. Seeing Wu Xie's disbelieving and pale face, he was silent in his heart, then subconsciously handed Wu Xie a cigarette, and said, "This——you really hit a ghost, your My friend is resting in a cave outside, it’s impossible to be here, could he be a descendant of this kind of giant? Maybe their race is relatively small, so their appearance is very similar.”

Wu Xie heard that the old itch was fine, so he calmed down a bit, and shook his head, "No, that's not the problem, I grew up with him, and we also make antiques, I'm very sensitive to details, this corpse and He is too similar, the location of hemorrhoids, and scars, these things will not be inherited, this corpse is simply a copy of him, there must be something wrong with it, and it is man-made, I feel that we are being calculated by others, this The corpse cocoon must be fake, I'll smash it open to see!"

Knowing that Wu Xie might really do such a thing, Zhang Yan quickly waved his hand and said, "Calm down, Wu Xie. I thought so too just now, but look around, if you plan on us, this battle will be too big Now, although I have a bit of wealth, but I think I am not qualified to be teased by others, so I am afraid that this matter is not the case."

Wu Xie looked around and nodded. He became more and more calm and knew that this could not be the case here. At this moment, he thought of the illusion of the blue-eyed fox corpse in the Lu Palace. That illusion was also very real.It was almost impossible to tell the difference, and I immediately wondered if I had been tricked again?

He immediately asked, "I see that you have experienced a lot, have you encountered similar things before, or will there be some kind of corpse cocoon, what kind of monster, can make people hallucinate?"

False Zhang Yan shook his head: "Although the cocoon is a sinister thing, it is a dead thing after all. It is not extremely rare. I have never encountered such an outrageous thing since the inversion, and if you say it is a hallucination, I've only met that friend of yours a few times. I don't think I could see the resemblance."

Wu Xie subconsciously nodded in agreement, because only he understood the characteristics of the old itchy face here the most thoroughly. The hallucinations work by using the data of the human brain, and the counterfeit is not the same as him at all. It is also very different from himself. According to the logic, even if he got the trick, he should see a completely different scene, just like that time when he and Fatty didn't actually see the same person. He even came up with it for nothing. His third uncle.

Didn't you see the same person?Wu Xie suddenly looked at the fake Zhang Yan. Could it be that even this fake Zhang Yan is an illusion produced by hallucinations?Wu Xie thumped in his heart.

Speaking of it, this person is indeed very strange, his personality and tone are like a fat man, but his face is Zhang Yan's face. Even if he was pierced by himself, the other party did not change his voice. Could it be that the hallucination used the memory in my brain to create the image of this person?Wu Xie couldn't help thinking big in his heart, turned his head away, and stared at him for a while. Suddenly, Wu Xie realized that something was wrong again. Even if he wanted to fantasize about the cigarettes given to him by the counterfeit, he couldn't imagine it. It is impossible to imagine something that is not in the brain.

That being said, this Zhang Yan is a real person, Wu Xie was relieved.Immediately, it felt ridiculous, and began to think about how to get rid of this illusion.

False Zhang Yan? Really itching to see Wu Xie not talking, and not knowing that the other party had reasoned him as "not a human being" just now, and then came back to make things right. He took out a tape measure and measured the size of the amber while According to the predetermined guidance plan, he said to Wu Xie: "Since it happened, there will definitely be an explanation. Let's think about it from the beginning and see if there is anything that the two of us know that we don't know about each other."

The absent-minded Wu Xie felt that this was true, and he really wanted to exchange information to find the reason, so he nodded, and first told the other party how he encountered the old itch and how he came here, one by one, but it was slightly After Zhang Yan used tricks to trick people away.

Fake Zhang Yan nodded after hearing this, and said thoughtfully: "Listen to you, your two friends are actually not very fuel-efficient lamps."

Wu Xie nodded silently in his heart. He really couldn't understand the two of them, and then asked, "Then what's the matter with you? Why did you come here and pretend to be my friend to trick me?"

Fake Zhang Yan sat down, lit the cigarette for Wu Xie, and lit another cigarette for himself, "I was also entrusted with this mission. I have been squatting at Yakou for a long time. I was originally following the old Taitou, Boss Li. That group of people came in, and after you chased them away, they had no choice but to follow behind you, and then found out that you could repel Chi Gu, so they wanted to borrow you to climb the tree. At that time, only Zhang Yan was not next to you Borrowed his face. But I think your friends are very problematic"

After Wu Xie saw that he had used his own words, he wanted to bypass his own words, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, but at this time he had no choice but to continue with his words and asked him, "How do you say it?"

Fake Zhang Yan thought for a while and said: "In order, let's sort out a few strange things first, and then think about it slowly. You can see if what I said is right."

Wu Xie nodded, motioning for the other party to start,

Fake Zhang Yan said, "First, why are there such big fish in the mine? The food structure and water temperature here are completely unsuitable for the survival of this kind of fish. How did they grow to such a large size? Your friend said that they were raised by humans. , what is the purpose? And he will definitely be around all the time, where is the person who raised it?

Second, why are there intermittent fountains in the underground river? We are in a mountain, and even if there are hot springs, the temperature should not be so high, and this is not a volcanic area.

Third, you said what did your Taoist friend do when he went back halfway, and where did he go?I was behind you but I didn't find any trace of the other party.

Fourth, the Taoist said he lost his memory, did he really lose his memory?How can you know this place so well if you have amnesia, what are you doing without you all of a sudden?I also met him face to face, but he was not with you at that time, and I felt very wrong when I was threatened by him.

Fifth, we have traveled so dangerously along the way, how did your friend named Old Itch get out?The tree is so tall, did he climb it alone?Why didn't he encounter the cup worm when he climbed up?But you met?

Sixth, the most outrageous, the corpses in amber used by ethnic minorities for alchemy thousands of years ago.It turned out to be exactly the same as a tomb robber thousands of years later, isn't that the hell? "

Wu Xie just wanted to nod his head to express his agreement, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked at the other party suspiciously, "Are you really following behind us?" ?And after meeting Zhang Yan, he would rather threaten someone than come back?Why was the other party so sure that Zhang Yan couldn't come in before, and the clothes and the familiarity with them...

Wu Xie suddenly felt that he seemed to have missed a lot of details. He only felt that the person in front of him was talking nonsense, and there seemed to be another answer looming, but at the same time, there seemed to be a clue that connected everything together.

Fake Zhang Yan was startled, and nodded calmly on his face, "Otherwise, how could I know so much about you, your Taoist friend is strong, but he may not be able to find out everything."

Wu Xie looked at the other party suspiciously, put aside this doubt for the time being, and asked, "Let's not talk about this, then what is your purpose for coming here? I see you, it seems that you are not sure what is here, and you don't know where it is. where"

False Zhang Yan's face changed, "Yes, the person who hired me didn't say this, he said that as long as he really got to the place, he would get what he wanted, but in fact this is just a prevarication, boss, how could he tell people his true intentions? Woolen cloth."

"Wait, what did you say again?" Wu Xie had a flash of inspiration, as if he had grasped some important clue, and the old tickle pretending to be Zhang Yan's heart sank. Although this was indeed what he wanted to guide, his The goal has been basically achieved, but it seems that something has begun to escape his control, but he does not show his face, repeating, "He said that as long as he really gets to the place, he will have whatever he wants."

Wu Xie suddenly realized, slapped his thigh, and shouted: "I know!" Then he said excitedly, "Your boss didn't prevaricate you!"

Regardless of the bewilderment of the people next to him, Wu Xie scratched his head excitedly, and his mind was spinning rapidly; in fact, the key is the arrival of the word, that is to say, the key is not to get anything, but to go to that place first, to that place In places, nature has the power to give people what they want.

Wu Xie took a deep breath to calm himself down, then patted his face, and continued to push. Zhang Yan said before that there is nothing in this place, only this bronze tree, so, that is to say, this bronze tree On the ancient tree, is there any power that makes people get whatever they want?

He suddenly thought of the copper stick that Old Itching kept him from touching the bronze tree, the rubber gloves he gave himself before climbing the tree, and what he said, the moment he touched the bronze tree, he would turn into a sinister person. A piece of land opened up—it turned out to be such a thing, no wonder, if this is the case, as long as you want to have what you want, this is indeed a well-deserved benefit, and any benefit in the world is not a billionth of this benefit worth a penny.

Wu Xie continued to think excitedly, and what the counterfeit boss said meant——as long as one gets to this place, one's subconscious can affect the surrounding environment, making the imagination in one's subconscious become a real object, That is to say, everything you see now is made by people themselves. This bronze tree is not like this, this cave is not like this, and the corpse here is not like this.

This is the only reasonable explanation now, as long as this is taken as a premise, everything makes sense—because along the way, I have been guarding against Old Itchy and thinking that he is the last big boss, and I have always been afraid of Old Itchy's betrayal, That's why I have the old itchy face in the cocoon. This is because when I saw the face of the mummy in the amber, I unknowingly used the image of the old itchy face. This face is the fear in my heart, he is afraid The betrayal of the old itch, then materialized by the subconscious mind.Wu Xie was a little puzzled when he thought of this, but he hadn't encountered a bronze tree before?

He raised his hand subconsciously, looked at the inside of the glove, and couldn't help screaming - the glove had been worn out by a branch of the bronze tree, and he couldn't remember when it was broken.

Looking at the damaged gloves, Wu Xie thought of the old itchy again, and the old itchy came once, and he also knew the existence of this power. In other words, he still has that kind of ability in him now. When I went out, I must rely on this power to get out of trouble. At the same time, it can also explain why there are so many weird places here. If the analysis is correct, then this is now a world where subconsciousness and reality are intertwined. , What does the original shape of the bronze tree look like, and what kind of scene is it here?

And Zhang Yan, who is getting weirder as he goes to the back, is he also affected by this power?Lao You hated Zhang Yan and hoped that he would go away. That's why the other party's inexplicable indifference and injury caused him to run away and disappear?Could it be that it wasn't Zhang Yan at all, so where is the real Zhang Yan?Could it be that he still hasn't returned to the Thousand Coffin Formation?But according to the counterfeit, the other party has already come, and even threatened the other party. Did he come later?So it didn't happen?

Wu Xie thought of Zhang Yan, and became more puzzled. Why did Zhang Yan not have this ability before, or did he just not reveal it?For example, the fish might be the fear of old itches, but the patterns on the fish were actually created by Zhang Yan's imagination?So he was so sure that the fish were raised by humans.

But why does Zhang Yan repeatedly emphasize the danger, is it a... Bureau?To lie to him?

Thinking of this, Wu Xie was taken aback, but what is there to lie to?Or did Zhang Yan think that this ability was too scary so he deliberately lied to him?After all, this ability is really good at first, but it is terrifying when you think about it. Wu Xie shook his head, and first told his thoughts to the fake Zhang Yan next to him who was scratching his head and scratching his face, hesitant to speak. After hearing this, I seemed to suddenly think of something, and said, "According to what you said, just now, when the two of us fell from the top, as soon as I landed, I was afraid that you would attack me, so I immediately ran to the center of the fog. At that time, I also saw these bronze chains, but when I passed through the middle of the bronze chains, I didn't fall off. The ground was solid, but when I sneaked up on you for the second time, I stepped on it empty. There is already a hole underneath, as if the hole came out out of nowhere."

Wu Xie nodded. At that time, he really thought that there should be a coffin well below, and it might be because of this that the coffin well was created.Reminiscent of the previous Chi Gu, it is likely that someone among them was transformed by the subconscious mind. The more Wu Xie thought about it, the more inexplicably terrifying it became. Human thoughts are uncontrollable. For example, if you have this kind of power, you Go watch a horror movie, and after watching it, maybe you will find a dead body in the horror movie hanging from the ceiling fan behind you, bleeding down. For example, if you walk through the cemetery, maybe——

Wu Xie shook his head vigorously immediately, warning himself not to think about these things anymore, he pinched his hand hard, and if he continued to think about it, something might happen.

Maybe people who have been trained in psychology can control this power to a certain extent, wait, no, what subject did Lao Xie study in college?The earrings of hexagonal bells that he showed himself during the meal were said to be from the grave, but he didn't see them at all along the way, did he?

Scene after scene flashed through Wu Xie's mind, all kinds of doubts on the road, Zhang Yan who ran away inexplicably, the disappearing old itch and the extra counterfeit, this person's clumsy lies along the way, and Zhang Yan began to emphasize again and again. This is a game to lure him in... Wu Xie suddenly thought of something, turned his head and stared at the fake Zhang Yan, who is this person?Where did he get the same clothes as Zhang Yan?

Lao You, who was still wearing Zhang Yan's appearance, was also thinking about the things he wanted to accomplish to reproduce his mother, and he was so dazed that he didn't notice Wu Xie was looking at him with strange eyes for a while.

Wu Xie took the opportunity to look at his expression, his clothes, and many details on his body. He thought he was very familiar with Zhang Yan. This clothes...can it really be imitated?

Wu Xie suddenly had an idea in his heart that he felt horrified about, but he wasn't sure.

In order to verify his thoughts, Wu Xie suddenly pretended to see what he saw, waved his hand in front of him, and then made a gesture to tell him not to move, walked over carefully by himself bit by bit, and called, "That Who, don't move!"

"What?" Fake Zhang Yan was a little confused. He looked at Wu Xie nervously, thinking that something was stuck on his shoulder, and glanced to the side with his eyes.

Wu Xie walked up to him, pressed his chest, glanced at the other's shoulder, and said in his heart that sure enough, he backed away without doing anything.

Wu Xie was baffled by the fake Zhang Yan, and asked softly, "What are you doing? What happened?"

At this time, Wu Xie had basically confirmed his thoughts in his heart. He glanced at the fake Zhang Yan inexplicably, and said, "I think your clothes are very strange. Where did you buy a Taoist robe that looks so similar to Zhang Yan's?"

Fake Zhang Yan looked at Wu Xie with an expression of seeing a neuropathy, and said with a smile: "Is there a mistake, you suddenly asked me this question."

Wu Xie said softly, "There is no mistake at all. Do you know that Zhang Yan's clothes actually have hidden pockets at the slanted neckline on the chest. Other than that, they are all below the waist and thighs, which are completely different from ordinary clothes, and his clothes There are actually black handprints on my shoulders that I took in retaliation at the fire, and you are not bad at all..."

In fact, it is just copying the old itch of illusion.

When Wu Xie said this, he looked at the person opposite with a sudden change of expression, and smiled clearly, "There is another point, I suspected it just now, even though his clothes have many inner pockets with hidden buttons, there is absolutely no pocket on the belly like ordinary clothes. Where did you get those lighters and cigarettes that you just picked up casually? Huh? Or, should I call you itchy?"
