Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

If Lao Tzu had a heart made of stone, he would follow his words indifferently at this moment.

But Zhang Rui's back, even an old man like me, feels terrified when he sees it.

I couldn't calm down the shock at that moment, and said, "This...what's going on with you?"

Zhang Rui was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know what was going on, he glanced sideways at me, and then turned his head: "Don't ask so many questions, just pull out those arrows first. Damn it, I don't know if it's poisonous or not."

He clenched his fists and lowered his head.

I squeezed my fists and looked down his long neck. A few strands of black hair stuck to his neck and hung down along the arc from his neck to his shoulders.

A very tough back, even a man would envy such a strong shoulder.

However, I can no longer look down.

There is a hidden murder mechanism in the tomb. In the darkness just now, that person might have activated the mechanism. It is not unreasonable for Zhang Rui to hold me down. At this moment, I saw arrows as small as embroidery needles stuck on his back. Ya, just understood his painstaking efforts.

I pulled out the arrows one by one, such a small thing has arrowheads and tail feathers, the proportions are perfect, and there are barbs on the torso, although it won't be fatal when pierced into the flesh, it is still choking.

Zhang Rui is really tough, I couldn't bear to strike, but he didn't cry out in pain.

After I pulled it out, I counted it, and there were about [-] branches. They were not extensive, and they were all on both sides of the spine, and they didn't seem to be poisonous, so judging by the number in Zhang Rui's body, they wouldn't be fatal.

But Zhang Rui's back condition is bad, that's not the reason.

On his back, from the shoulder blade down, the skin was purple red, and the edema was severe. At first glance, it looked like it was caused by years of beatings, but this large area of ​​bruises seemed to penetrate the cortex and radiate from the internal organs. It doesn't look like trauma at first glance.

The light in the tomb was dim, so it was hard to see clearly. If it was outside, the bruises of this degree would look even more shocking.

Although Zhang Rui didn't want me to ask, I couldn't help but said, "What's wrong with your back? Poisoning or something?"

Zhang Rui quickly put on his clothes again, wiped off his sweat, stroked his bangs on his forehead, showed a pair of calm eyes, and looked at me without speaking.

I said anxiously: "Don't just look at me for not making a sound! They are all old men, so let me know if you have something to say!"

I patted Zhang Rui on the arm, telling him to be more refreshed.Zhang Rui smiled, lowered his head and sighed: "Bottle, if I knew how long I can live, I wouldn't give you up to Young Master Long so easily."

I was stunned, and suddenly I was too bored to speak.

The light from the lamp was dim and pale, Zhang Rui's broken hair fell down from his forehead, his expression was hidden in the shadow.His words are also not salty: "Who do you like and who do you want to live with? I am not qualified to ask. But I often think, what if one day I am gone and you are bullied."

He smiled at me, "So I don't feel at ease handing you over to someone of unknown origin."

I suppressed the anxiety in my heart, and asked calmly, "Where did your injury come from? How long has it been?"

Zhang Rui didn't answer.

I saw that he wanted to hide it from me, so I became more and more anxious: "Why didn't you tell me? If you just leave like this, do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of your life?"

Zhang Rui sighed silently, and said, "I don't quite know how I got here."

"Nonsense!" I said angrily, "Don't try to get away with this matter today, tell me clearly, how did you get hurt?!"

Zhang Rui hesitated for a moment: "Maybe it was bitten by the corpse in King Ming's tomb, and he was poisoned by the corpse."

I froze for a moment, then thought again, it is indeed the most likely, the white coat asked if he would be poisoned by the corpse, Zhang Rui's reaction was understated at that time, and I didn't know him well, so I didn't notice it.

It was then, but it is different now.

In the inner and outer chambers of King Ming's tomb, Jiang Laoliu forced me to take blood jade, and Zhang Rui did it for me, which resulted in a corpse change.

That bite should have bit me.

Since it has something to do with me, Zhang Rui shouldn't hide it from me.

I said angrily: "Do you have to hide it from me? Do you think that when I find out, you are already lying in the coffin, so that is better than telling me when you are alive? It is too selfish of you to think so."

Zhang Rui's face was ice-white, and he didn't speak.

It's useless to be serious with him now, so I suppressed my anger and said, "Can't it be cured?"

Zhang Rui finally looked up at me: "I don't have much time to waste. Before that, I hope to find out what kind of person Long Xiaoye is. This is the last thing I can do."

Seeing his words being so indifferent, I got angry again, grabbed his collar, and said angrily: "Who asked you to do this? Nothing is more important than your own life. If you don't care about yourself, others will worry about you! You idiot !"

"In your eyes, haven't I always been a fool?" Zhang Rui smiled softly, "That's fine, that's enough. For me, that period of time is the best memory in my life. If you need anything else, just let my cursed life end here. I want to go away with peace of mind, and wholeheartedly beg Lord Yama to let me have a good pregnancy."

In the dim white light, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Those eyes were curved, and a faint smile came out of it, and I somehow remembered that line of the poem.

the river is long and tempestuous, it was like a hero.

Success or failure turned empty.

Aoyama is still there, How Many Suns.

There are many helplessness in life, the most helpless is nothing more than seeing tragedy happening right in front of your eyes, but you can't help it.

I want to keep Zhang Rui, but I understand that with his temper, unless there is a good reason to change his mind, even I can't change his decision.

This was the most helpless moment in my life. I should have said something, but in the end I could only ruthlessly say to the person in front of me: "I'm sorry, I owe you, and I can't pay it back in this life."

Zhang Rui smiled faintly: "Let's go, this is not a place to talk."

He picked up the backpack, I nodded, and the lighting tube was in my hand, so I let me explore the way first.

After walking for a while, remembering the unresolved doubt before, I asked: "You said that the person who talked to us in the dark is still in that tomb. Is it the white coat, A Zang and the independent sect? The three of them Some of them got dropped?"

Zhang Rui nodded.

I just thought of this point, just like in the tomb of King Ming, someone disguised himself as one of the three of them and entered this tomb with us.This explains why there is suddenly one more person, and then can continue to hide.As long as he doesn't remove his disguise, that's the best way to hide.

How difficult it is for a person to pretend to be someone we know, not only in appearance, but also in imitating the habitual actions of that person.I immediately thought of Jiang Laoliu in King Ming's tomb: "Could it be Jiang Laoliu again?!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I immediately vetoed it myself.The person talking to us in the dark is obviously not Jiang Laoliu, and that person is probably much more unpredictable.

As far as I know, there are incense burners who are proficient in disguise, but incense burners rarely disguise themselves as a specific person.

Zhang Ruidao: "We don't know that person, but he knows us."

I nod.The enemy is dark and we are clear, and we couldn't discuss the result for a while, so we concentrated on paying attention to the surrounding situation.

The tomb here is almost exactly the same as the previous one, the difference is that this time we saw the door opening.After passing the door opening, there is another tomb chamber of the same specification behind, and there is still a door opening at the other end.In this way, when we reached the sixth tomb, a voice came from ahead.

It was a series of clearly discernible footsteps, and someone was talking at the same time. We immediately thought that the team of the Jiang family might also be in this tomb, but then I felt strange again.

I have also been emphasizing that we have been delayed for a long time before arriving at Huangyangchuan. Why are we still able to keep pace with Jiang's team?It is the Jiang family who have the first-hand clues. They discovered the Sanskrit on Dalou, and obtained clues about the three legendary tombs from it. In order to compete against the Zhang family, they should act immediately, and the purpose should be to find Tongtian. The tomb of the leader.Why are you here?

Could it be that the head of the Jiang family has been waiting for news from Fang girl and the others, just like us, delaying until now to start acting?

Zhang Rui and I went into this tomb to find the life experience of the incense burner, so what is the Jiang family doing?

Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat, and I felt like I was dying.

In fact, the reason is all too clear.

I turned around and whispered to Zhang Rui: "So the tomb of the Master Tongtian you said you were looking for is here?!"

Zhang Ruidao: "'Tongtian Jiaozhu' is just a symbolic pronoun. I told you that Shen Qianjiu has three apprentices, and 'Tongtian Jiaozhu' refers to his three apprentices."

"You want to say that the incense burner is Shen Qianjiu's third apprentice?" I also think this possibility is very high, but subconsciously I still don't want to admit it.

There was a faint light flashing in front of us. In order not to be discovered by the other party, we stuck to the wall of the tomb.I said, "Do you want to meet them head-on?"

Zhang Ruidao: "Wait for them to leave first, we will follow them."

Brother Zhang's trick is vicious, let the Jiang family try thunder, and we can save time and effort.The praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole follows behind. Unexpectedly, we became the latter, which is a bit dramatic.

Once we have made a decision, we are not in a hurry, we turned off the lights and slowly groped along the wall of the tomb.For unknown reasons, the other party moved forward very slowly, and often stopped to discuss for a while after walking a few steps.

When I got closer, I heard their conversation, and I was taken aback.

It wasn't the content of their conversation that surprised me, but the sound of it.

There was a woman in the team, and I recognized Shen Fangfang's voice immediately!

Although there is still a tomb between us and them, we can already see what they are doing.

Holding a miner's lamp in her hand, Shen Fangfang said to the wall of the tomb: "What are these paintings trying to explain? And what is the meaning of these hidden marks in the paintings? Why are there carved marks every fifty steps?" with one."

Shen Fangfang is indeed a careful girl. If it were me, I only noticed the paintings on the wall, but didn't pay attention to counting how many identical marks there were, but she even counted the distance between them with steps.

There are various colorful paintings painted on the walls of the tomb. Zhang Rui and I also studied them at the beginning, but we had no clue.In our eyes, those colored paintings are only rich in color, more abstract than Picasso's paintings, and they don't look famous at all.

A man said: "I believe these paintings must contain important information about the ancient Dian Kingdom, but unfortunately we can't understand it."

I was shocked again, the man who spoke was Azang!

I couldn't help but look at Zhang Rui's expression. Zhang Rui was calmer than me, but he also frowned in surprise.

I whispered, "Azang is a spy! Will they be plotted by him in white coats—"

"Hush!" Zhang Rui signaled me to keep silent with his eyes.

Just then, another voice caught my attention.

The voice said: "Don't worry about those signs, let's go quickly, there is not much time."

I felt as if someone had slapped me in the head, and I almost screamed out, but luckily Zhang Rui covered my mouth in time.I blinked indiscriminately, expressing how surprised I was with my eyes, Zhang Rui said lightly: "Your shop in Changsha, it seems that no one is guarding it."
