Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

I gave Lao Bai a trial reading of the newly written novel, and he responded with two words after reading it for a few days.

Cliché, long-winded.

I refused to accept it and said, "Where is the cliché? Where is the long-winded?"

The white coat said: "If you want to write a novel about tomb robbery, don't write so much love and love. If you want to write a romance novel, don't make so many jokes. The romance novels that the boss recommended me to read back then were all very romantic. Innocent—”

He paused.

After a while, I said again: "The front is passable, can you stop being so foolish at the end? I have written so much, the most critical part, what did the protagonists do in the temple, and how did they get out? Yes, how could you just mention it without explaining it clearly!"

I smiled wryly.

The last part, I really don't know how to write.

The fact is that I dragged the incense burner and Zhang Rui into the temple. The temple was not big, with just one entrance door. The structure was like an octagonal pagoda, but it only had one floor.

A white jade bed was placed in the center, and after Zhang Rui and I discussed it, we thought it was the bed used for the sacrifices during the blood sacrifice.

Since Chi You is the founder of Gu, the places related to him are naturally full of various things that symbolize Gu, such as the picture of the snake formation in the Shen family's ancient house, and the Gu pillar of the Queen Mother of the West in the tomb of the Master Tongtian.After he died, his subjects used the method of making Gu to pay homage to him, and held the ritual of living Gu in the temple, leaving this kind of jade bed.

Of course, the surface of the jade bed we saw has been covered with oxide layers, and the ten jade-carved tomb pillars around the jade bed have long since lost their original appearance and become a piece of wreckage.

Zhang Rui reminded me to take out those jade wares, and I thought of the order Jiang Siye asked me to write down, and looked around for things that could be used to place the jade wares, but after scanning around, I was at a loss.

Apart from the jade bed and the remains of the ten pillars, there are no other decorations in the temple.

I panicked in my heart: "Damn, don't these few pillars...!"

"Here..." Young Master Long's expression was not good, "It has been completely destroyed."

Judging from his tone, it seemed that he did not expect this to happen.

However, unexpectedly, all this is reasonable.In the thousands of years, I don’t know how many people have been curious about this place, and they have arrived here. Maybe their bones will be branded with curses in the end, but the places that mortals have visited will always lose their original appearance, no matter how secret it is. , It can't stop the tomb robbers who are eager to spy on the treasure.

If we successfully arrange the jade objects and activate the mechanism, there is no guarantee that this place will maintain its original appearance.

It's just that someone was one step ahead of us.

I looked at Zhang Rui who was on the verge of collapse. The bleeding from his wound couldn't be stopped, and I'm afraid he couldn't last much longer.Looking at Master Long again, Master Long raised his knife and went to the entrance of the temple.

"Master Long, what are you doing?!"

Facing the Yin soldiers lined up neatly on the Shinto path, Young Master Long said in a low voice: "Since they are all going to die, then none will be left behind!"

I was taken aback.

Could it be that he wants to kill all the Yin soldiers?

Those are ghost soldiers from the gate of hell, what should be used to kill them?

Just when I thought about it, I saw Master Long cut his right wrist with a small knife. Looking in the dark, blood gushed out from his wrist instantly. Drenched the entire blade.

A strange fragrance came out of his blood, which suddenly cleared my mind a lot.

I thought to myself, how much blood does this have to shed? !

"Master!" Zhang Rui wanted to chase him out, but I pulled him back and cursed, "Zhang Xiaogua, when will you change your temper, you reckless donkey! It's all like this, why are you making a fuss! Stay here and don't move. No matter what happens, I won't allow you to mess around!"

He glared at me: "If Young Master Long dies, you will be sad for the rest of your life. I don't want you to regret it in the future!"

I stared back: "Regret and sadness are also my business, God knows if there will be a future, will it be your turn to decide my life for me!"

Zhang Rui was shocked by my roar, it was probably rare to see me lose my temper so much, and he was a little at a loss.

I also know that once his brain gets into a dead end, he can't turn it around, so I don't bother to reason with him.Leaving him behind, when I turned around and wanted to stop Young Master Long again, the Gu pictures on the wall seemed to be encroaching on my mind for an instant, poisonous things were biting and devouring each other everywhere, a dark and bloody picture , disgustingly disgusting.

At the same time, some strange afterimages gradually passed through my mind.

I actually thought of what happened in Huangyangchuan when I was a child.

That night, after my mother put me to sleep, she left the room.But I didn't actually fall asleep. Not long after my mother left, I blinked and got out of bed and went for a walk outside.

Because the archaeological team was investigating nearby, many pits around the pits were lit all night, but those lights were dazzling pale, which made people feel very bad.

I wandered around for a while, but I didn't meet anyone, and my parents didn't know where they went.At this moment, I saw a warm yellow light under a dead tree beside a certain pit, and under the light there was a figure sitting there with legs crossed.

When I was a child, I was full of curiosity, unlike when I was growing up, I was more afraid of things.I saw someone there, so I happily went over to strike up a conversation.

When he got closer, he saw a boy with the head of a radish. He was dark. I don't know if it was because of his dark skin or because he was ugly. His small face looked dirty, like a little beggar.

I saw that the vest he was wearing was also torn and old, and his trousers were also torn several times. The trousers were rolled up, revealing two thin calves, which were covered with scars from wounds and red marks of infection and inflammation. Thought he was a beggar.

I couldn't help avoiding it for a while, but then I thought it's not good to discriminate against poor and beggars.

I pretended not to care, and looked at this guy's little face with a cute and pitiful appearance. I lowered my head and looked at people through the hair that covered my face. I'm afraid the habit of looking at people like this has suffered a lot, so I was friendly. smiled at him.

When a child touches a child, the first thing is to find out who is older and who is younger.I asked him, "Hey, how old are you?"

The guy pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak.

I frowned: "I'm talking to you, answer me."

Still pursing his lips, staring at me.

I thought this guy was dumb, so I sat down beside him: "My name is Li Langyu, and I'm five years old today!"

With some pride, report your age to Dali by the way.I looked at that guy triumphantly, the black face was still the same, he was really no fun at all.

The original interest in striking up a conversation was extinguished by the silence. I looked around in disappointment, but I couldn't help but sneak a look at him. He had turned his face away, still lowered his head, and his eyes were fixed on his two little feet. Ya.In fact, looking through the light, his side profile is quite iconic, his eyes are big and round, watery like a little girl.

"Why are you sitting here?"

The guy said nothing.

"Are you homeless?"

The guy finally moved his eyes and looked at me out of the corner of his eyes.

I pretended to be good-tempered and said: "Is it true that you are often bullied? You seem to be very pitiful."

The guy ignored me and drew something in the sand with his little finger.I took a look and it was just scribbled scribbles.

I had nothing to say and said, "Are you hungry? Do you want me to find something for you to eat?"

I think beggars are always hungry, maybe this guy has been hungry for several days, it is always right to win him over with food.Unexpectedly, that guy stared at me for a while, then nodded slightly.

I happily searched for something to eat, and soon found a pile of biscuits and puffed food.I asked him what he wanted to eat, but he just stared and said nothing, so I just stuffed him with a bag of snacks.He held it and looked at it for a while, then stuffed it into his arms.

When my mouth was full of scum, he was still holding the bag of snacks.

I wiped my mouth and said, "Don't be reluctant to eat. I, I will stay here for a while, and I will bring you food later. Um——, can you wait for me here at this time every day from now on?"

The guy looked at me.

I patted him with a sense of justice: "Don't worry, with me here, I will take good care of you! In the future, um, if you want to repay me in the future, just be my wife!"

The guy's eyes were bright, and he stared at me without blinking.

My heart was throbbing so hard, I was embarrassed and pretended to be calm and said: "Do you know what a 'daughter-in-law' is? My father said that a daughter-in-law is the one who will be with me for the rest of my life! You followed me , I will not be afraid of running out of food in the future, I will marry you when I grow up, and I will earn a lot of money to support you!"

When I was a child, I always liked to brag, and I blew so much that I forgot about it after two days.

But it's not because I have a bad memory that I forgot about it.

That's right, that dark, carrot-like guy is Zhang Xiaogua.

After Zhang Xiaogua listened to my words, instead of showing a happy expression, he stared at me in a daze, and after a while he showed a frightened expression.

I suddenly realized that there was someone behind me, and when I looked back, there was a man in a black knitted hat standing behind me, with a cold face and no expression on his face.I recognize this man, he was buried in a pit, after my parents and I found out, we rescued him.

This memory has always been vague and unclear, and as the previous pictures flashed in my mind, I also remembered those places that I felt vague.

During the day, Adou helped the archaeological team save someone.But things were completely different from my original memory after that.

I did see him rushing into the pit to save people, but because the scene was too chaotic, my mother quickly carried me back to the hotel.

These memories are not only confusing and contradictory, but also make me feel that they may have been tampered with, which makes it impossible for me to remember clearly at that time.

As I was being shocked by this, other images came to my mind.

The time shifted to the day of the Zhang family's funeral.

I was a little confused that night. I saw Zhang Rui's besieged situation at Zhang's house during the day, and I was always worried.After tossing and turning, unable to sleep, he went to Zhang's house.

After drinking with Zhang Rui, Fourth Master Jiang killed him, and we sent the drunk Zhang Rui to bed, then continued drinking and chatting.The conversation was almost over, and when I was about to leave, I saw a white figure swaying from the verandah of chaoshou.

I was a little drunk, and when the night wind blew, I woke up a lot, but I still couldn't see clearly, thinking it was a ghost.Jiang Siye said: "It's a human being."

Fourth Master Jiang's tone was cold, as if he recognized who that person was.Soon, I recognized it too.

Knowing who the visitor was, he couldn't help being embarrassed: "Censer, why are you here?"

The incense burner glanced at Fourth Master Jiang and me, and finally fixed his eyes on Fourth Master Jiang.He didn't say a word, and he threw Jiang Siye to the ground with his first hand. He shot the man secretly, and then smashed his elbow to the base of the ear. Jiang Siye passed out without even a chance to shout. .

I stared at the incense burner in a daze, and I really felt that he was very scary at the moment.He also looked at me coldly: "Since you miss him until midnight, why don't you tell me, don't you think about it, if I wake up and find you are gone, will you be worried?"

The incense burner had a cold expression, but his eyes were filled with sadness.I wanted to comfort him, but couldn't find words to refute.

He looked out blankly, and frowned deeply at the night: "I'm very afraid, very afraid that you will remember everything that is true."

I was puzzled: "Xiang Lu, I see that you have serious concerns. What are you afraid of? Why can't you tell me frankly about many things?"

The incense burner stared at me without saying a word.This memory also disappeared later, because he used hypnosis on me. When I woke up, I was already in the hotel room. He was sitting on the window sill looking at the lonely moon. His figure was as pale and lonely as that moon.

Thinking of all this, I then figured out why he and I arrived in Changsha, day and night without thinking about food and drink, with more and more worries day by day, and finally fell ill.

I rushed out of the temple, and there was a remnant outside. The turbulent Yin soldiers suddenly calmed down, bowed down to me one by one, and finally fell down as if they had lost their souls.

The incense burner was already in a mess, and after the Yin soldiers surrounded by him fell down, his figure came out and caught my eyes.

With loose long hair, the light of the knife pierced through the air, cold and glaring.

However, that person was like a leaf in the wind, and his emaciated body was as thin as paper.

His eyes looked over, deep and desolate.

"Your Gu seems to be completely unraveled. Have you...remembered?"
