Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

Manninken

We were plunged into darkness again.

"There is still a piece of candle in the bag, but it's too late to light it now, let's run." Fat Brother gave an order in the dark, and we followed his footsteps and ran.

I just heard "Ouch", after the fat man screamed, I also felt that I didn't step on my foot firmly, fell to the ground, and rolled down "grrrrrrr". It turned out that this is a very steep slope!Fortunately, there was no serious injury, just a little scratch on the hand.

"It seems that there is no light source. We can't see clearly in the dark like my little brother. We need to make a torch!" Fatty said while lighting the lighter.

"Oh my god, what is this?" He stood up suddenly screaming, and took out a long human-like skeleton in his hand.

"That's a human leg bone!" Wu Xie leaned over to inspect it.

"This... this is still there, this... is all there!" I saw the white bone on the ground through the light of the fire, and my whole body felt cold.

"Damn it, where are there so many corpses?" Wu Xie cursed.

"Whatever, just make some torches, hurry up, those corpses are afraid of fire, we have to hurry up." The fat man took off his coat as he said, wrapped it around the severed bone, lit it, and instantly burst into flames Thick smoke rose, and Wu Xie took off his clothes and picked up a bone from the ground to make a torch as usual. This is the first time I have seen a human bone make a torch, and I was so shocked that I couldn't say a word.

Wu Xie stuffed the finished torch into my hand and wanted to take off the T-shirt inside. I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't take it off, use this one on me!" Although I was unwilling to give the clothes to me, there was nothing I could do at this time. I handed the clothes to Wu Xie, and he quickly made another torch.

The three were burned at the same time, although the smell of smoke was choking, but the sight was much better. When I looked up, there was a large area of ​​this kind of white human bones on the surrounding ground. The scene was comparable to the pictures of the Nanjing Massacre.

"It seems that this is an ancient mass grave!"

"Have we returned to the chariot and horse pit in King Li's tomb before? I panic when I think of those fierce ghost fireflies." I couldn't help asking.

"Whether it's back to King Li's tomb is not sure yet, but it's definitely not the chariot and horse pit before. First, the area here is much larger than that. Second, there are only human bones here, and no chariots and horses. Thirdly, there is no ghost firefly here, at least not yet." Wu Xie analyzed the dark surroundings with a glance.

"You two, don't be chatty, run, don't be in a hurry anymore." Fat Brother urged impatiently.

The rustling sound was close in front of me, and I took advantage of the firelight to illuminate the dark area, and I was so fast, like a mouse, that my feet were so soft, Wu Xie couldn't help saying that he took my hand and ran forward go.

That thing surged up like a raging flood and surrounded us. The fat man wiped the sweat off his brow and shouted, "Zi Lin, please sprinkle some more blood! Look at your stuffed bottle of precious blood!" Can you scare away these corpses!"

"No, Zi Lin has already bled a lot just now, if she sprinkles again, I'm afraid she won't be bitten to death by the corpse, she will lose blood and die first." Wu Xie yelled at him.

"I can't control that much now." I took out the knife and changed my hand and cut it a few more times. My hand was numb and didn't feel very painful. I threw the gushing blood at the group of corpses, but The corpses didn't run away like the blood dripping from the leech, but they seemed to smell the blood to make them even crazier, and they crawled to our feet in a short while, everywhere on the shoes, I felt There was a piercing pain in my foot.

Wu Xie and Fat Brother were also crawled on a lot, and they yelled in pain. At this moment, I really felt that we were going to die here.There was another burst of pain in my hand, and I saw a huge corpse biting the flesh on my arm. I shook it hard twice and failed to shake it off, but the torch was thrown away. As soon as the torch hit the ground, it suddenly jumped up There was a burst of fire, and then it burst into flames, and the fire became bigger and bigger.

It turned out that these bones are so flammable, I yelled at them: "Hurry up and burn the surrounding bones."

The two of them hurriedly followed suit, we kicked the bones under our feet to the side, and built a wall of fire around us. When the corpses saw the flames, they didn't dare to approach them any more, and retreated one after another.

I burned the knife red and branded it on the carcass in my hand. The thing loosened its claws and fell to the ground. I kicked it into the fire with a disgusting kick. Suddenly there was a burst of revenge.

"Haha... Hades won't accept us! The corpse oil on these bones is still fresh, it burns better than dry firewood." The fat man actually laughed.

"What a joke! Fatty, when the whole area burns up, we will be surrounded by fire. If we don't burn to death, we will be roasted into mummified corpses. Hurry up and find a way to get out." Wu Xie roared.

Fat Brother's expression changed, then he nodded wildly, and shouted: "Damn, I almost forgot." As he said that, he pulled out a passage at the root of the fire wall with the tip of a gun, and a large area around the fire wall had been burned. Brother still cared, he pulled those burning torsos to the sides one after another, and forced a way out.

I saw that his hair was almost burnt, and felt distressed. He put his backpack on his head and rushed over. We staggered out of the fire and made a bloody path. We couldn't tell the direction, and there was almost a sea of ​​​​fire around us. , illuminated the entire tomb, the group of corpses ran away long ago, and those who did not escape were burned to death, their corpses were all over the ground, and there was a clicking sound when stepped on.

"It's here" the fat man suddenly roared, and he disappeared. Wu Xie and I ran over to have a look, and saw a sewer-like thing with a width of more than one meter on the edge of the pit. What a great way out!The fat brother probably has already jumped down, and Wu Xie and I didn't hesitate and jumped straight down.

The road below was sloping and high, we knocked down all the way and fell heavily on a rock, almost had a concussion, and even our vision blurred, I managed to fall directly on Wu Xie, he was caught by me below Almost vomited blood.

The fat guy who came down first had already lit the torch again, pulled us up, pointed to the place where we fell, and said, "That should be an altar, and the hollows on both sides should be blood, and the blood goes straight to the ground." In the big pit, the ancients believed that blood is a very vital thing, a special sacrifice that can control life and death. If the blood is dedicated to the gods, the ancients believed that blood has a soul, and it can maintain the life of people or animals. , Once blood is lost, it means injury or even death. It seems that there is a kind of magical power. The blood used as a sacrifice includes human blood and animal blood. The blood is sprinkled on the ground or stained on the branches. <Zhou Li. Da Zongbo >Using blood sacrifices to the country, the method of blood sacrifices is to pour the blood and wine used for sacrifices on the ground and seep into the ground. People think that the gods can enjoy them as soon as possible. In this way, the living people will be blessed, and the blood of those sacrificed above should be It's all flowed here, you see there are some dark red and dark red dried blood stains in the blood." The fat man pointed, and my scalp was numb when I saw it, the ancient rulers really regarded life as an ant!

"It's impossible for these human sacrifices to be killed by the Zhang family. After all, they are just a tribe that has moved. It is impossible to find so many human sacrifices and kill so many people to be buried!" I dare not I believe that my own ancestors committed such a serious crime, and I also refuse to believe that I am a descendant of such a vicious clan.

"Don't worry! This can't be done by the Zhang family. I guess it has something to do with King Zhou Li." Wu Xie narrowed his eyes, patted my shoulder and said this reassuring word.

I saw that his vision hadn't recovered yet, so I helped him sit down against the wall.

"Naive, you said that this mass grave is related to King Zhou Li, so have we returned to King Li's tomb?" Fat Brother asked suspiciously.

"This is not clear yet, and we have to go further, but what is certain is that maybe the tomb of King Li and Zhang Jiazu's tomb are connected to each other. Otherwise, how could the group of camouflage uniforms go up there?" Wu Xie leaned against the wall and gasped weakly.

"By the way, when it comes to that group of people, I have always had a question, why did they die in that passage in the end? If they went up from the Zhang family's grave, shouldn't they take some of the treasures they saw? But they But turn a blind eye and only focus on running for their lives? What kind of power prevents them from being greedy even when they see the treasure?" I asked anxiously.

"Could it be that there is something more terrifying in this tomb that scares them into stupidity?" Fat Brother said a frightening answer.

"Please, we haven't seen anything here, it's nothing more than terrifying!" Wu Xie smiled lightly, as if comforting us, and his courage was like breaking a jar.

Think about the mystery of their incorruption. My parents’ corpses seem to have the same problem. If there is a magical power here to keep the corpses incorruptible, then the wizard in the tomb of King Li, the ancestors of the Zhang family and those on our heads Why is the corpse of a human animal already turned into a mummified corpse or a pile of bones, and why is my blood sometimes useful and sometimes useless?What I encountered from stepping into this tomb was far beyond my imagination. I shook my head, smiled wryly, and said, "This time I really hurt you! Come with me through this muddy water."

The fat guy patted my head and said angrily: "Little girl, what are you talking about? I just love the thrill of being in the tomb. I feel uncomfortable after two months. If I have to choose again, I will still come, after all, I still have a relationship with that dead ghost of King Zhou Li! The most regrettable thing is that night pearl, alas~ what a pity" said the fat brother and beat his heart twice, and it seemed that his heart ached again.

I shook my head helplessly, and sat next to Wu Xie, suddenly felt itchy on my face, touched it with my hand, and I was startled when I touched it, and I wiped off a bunch of black things from my face. He gave Wu Xie a look, and asked, "Is it because you haven't washed your face for a long time?"

Wu Xie smiled and said: "That's your skin that was burned by the high temperature! It's like being exposed to too strong sun at the beach or after electric welding. The epidermis is burned, and it will be fine if you peel off a layer."

He spoke very calmly.

The fat guy couldn't calm down, because the hair on his head was almost burnt, only a few hairs were still curled, and his face was black and red, just like an African.

He sat down dejectedly, and cursed: "His grandma, Fatty is really unlucky this time, he has made such a ghostly appearance, how can he hang on to girls when he goes out, he has lost all image."

These words made Wu Xie and I couldn't help laughing, as if his previous image could attract a girl.

I leaned over and said, "Don't be depressed, fat brother. I'll introduce you to a girl when I get back to Hangzhou. What do you like?"

Fat Brother smiled at me and said, "Be naive and be cute."

I'll go, my speechless face darkens, thinking this old man is secretly in love with me and Wu Xie!This is the rhythm of confession!

Wu Xie spat, and scolded: "Fatty man, my master must only like women, Zi Lin is already bored, so don't make up your mind."

Fat Brother rolled his eyes at him, and said with a smile: "Cut, you guys are too narcissistic. I'm talking about really innocent and lovely women. I really can't communicate with you. But naive, I have a good one in my new store in Hangzhou." The girl seems to be a good match for you, why don't you go back and have a look around with her, after all, you are not young anymore!" Fat Brother said seriously.

Wu Xie's head shook like a rattling drum immediately, and he cursed, "You old pervert have such good intentions, it's not because you sneaked in and asked you to be responsible, you want to push it to me!"

"My uncle, I regard the kindness of the fat man as the liver and lungs of a donkey. Do you like it or not, be careful to be a bachelor for the rest of your life, don't say that the buddy didn't help you." The fat man was really angry when he saw it. He leaned against the wall with a snort, and lit the gun. cigarette.

I'm used to the bickering between these two stinky men, so I don't try to persuade them, it'll be fine anyway.

Wu Xie suddenly sighed and said, "Let's talk about it if we can get out alive!"

As soon as I heard it, my heart fell into a bottomless abyss.
