Tomb Raiders Notes

? Hearing what he said, Leng Tang also looked into the water. The water was dark and muddy, and the visibility was very low. Even with a lamp, he could barely see a shadow below.The blind man went to Leng Tang's side again, lay down on the edge of the pool, and said, "There's a big thing down there."

"Can you see what it is?"

"It feels like a..."

Before he could finish speaking, the water in the Tai Chi Pool suddenly began to churn, forming a vortex on each side, and then the water level began to drop rapidly until there was no water at all. At this time, they saw that there should be something under the water. Nothing but a horrible bottomless pit.

The two were stunned, looked at each other, and neither spoke.

Suddenly, a small life caught the attention of the blind man.

Along the edge of the pool, a bug-like thing climbed up, but it wasn't exactly a bug. It seemed to be some kind of aquatic creature. It was brown, and its body was almost transparent. It was in the shape of a cylindrical finger, about five centimeters long, with one end There are suction cups, and there are several long tentacles at the other end. When they get up, they arch and arch all over, which is very disgusting.

When the blind man saw it, he looked into the water again, his expression changed, and he said to Leng Tang, "Have you seen this thing before?"

Leng Tang also saw it, and couldn't help getting goosebumps on his body. He nodded and said, "It looks like a hydra, but how can a hydra be so big, the biggest one is only one centimeter. I'm not sure about this."

"That's right, it looks like this is a place to raise hydra." The blind man smiled slightly.

"What?" Leng Tang looked at him in surprise.

"When I was studying anatomy, I saw Hydra, which looked similar to this one, except that this one was a bit bigger. As for this Tai Chi Pool, it was probably built to raise these Hydras. Otherwise, with the power of Hydra itself, it would be impossible to Survival in this kind of environment. Also, I heard a rumor from my ancestors, 'It's called 'Ying Fei lives in Liangyi, and Liangyi grows and grows.'”

"I only know that 'liangyi produces four phases, and four phases produce gossip'." Leng Tang didn't quite believe him, so he said with a smile.

"Girl, it seems that Master Hua of your family didn't teach you any ancient things. Let me tell you, although this is a rumor, it is still meaningful." The blind man said to Leng Tang very seriously.

In ancient times, Taoism divided animals into five insects, namely Ying, scales, hairs, feathers, and kun.Insects refer to insects and aquatic animals with shells, such as shellfish, crabs, turtles, etc. Among them, the tortoise is the head of the beetle; the feather insect usually refers to the bird, and the phoenix is ​​the head of the feather insect; the caterpillar especially refers to the beast, and the unicorn is the caterpillar. The head of scale insects; scale insects refer to fish, lizards, snakes and other animals with scales, including winged insects, and dragons are the head of scale insects; The meaning of cover refers to humans, frogs, earthworms, etc.The "ying 虺" mentioned here is a hairless bug, and it is still a gnat. A gnat is a kind of dragon, which can be regarded as an infancy.

"'Ying 虺 live Liangyi', Ying 虺 here refers specifically to Hydra. The ancients regarded Hydra as a kind of 虺, and Liangyi is Tai Chi. As for the longevity mentioned in the second half, no one knows whether it is true or not. .” The blind man explained.

"Is there such a saying? That is to say, raising hydra in the Tai Chi pool can have the effect of longevity?" Leng Tang stared at the black blind man with wide eyes in disbelief, like an ignorant little girl.

The black blind man smiled and said: "At least people in ancient times thought so. I think it is impossible to live forever, but it may be a highly effective method of embalming. Look at that female corpse, it is still the same after so many years." It is hard to avoid the suspicion that she is still alive."

Leng Tang nodded and said, "So, what they are looking for is actually these bugs."

"Perhaps they want to test this method. You know, those people have gone crazy for their ridiculous purpose." The blind man said disdainfully.

Yes, regardless of whether the matter here has anything to do with the Zhang family's secret, as long as they hear that there may be a secret of longevity here, they will definitely try their best to dig it out. Although their strength is partially divided, they are advancing for this secret. There are still not a few people, and their combat power is very strong.

Blind Man and Leng Tang came here to find the so-called secret of longevity that those people were looking for, and then destroy it.The other party has spent so many years and so many generations in order to find the secret of the Zhang family, and they have not reached the goal until now. If they discover the secret first at this time, they will be more convinced that the secret is related to the Zhang family. Stimulants, a hope, will definitely promote their subsequent actions.

Because, just before they set off, the blind man found an important clue, Shen Zhu, formerly known as Zhang Zhengqi.In this way, they will definitely carry out another sweep against the existing families of the Old Nine Sect, forcing them to repeat the mistakes of their predecessors.

The secret under Lengtang's apartment has been discovered by them. If they don't find the rubbings, they will be alert immediately. They will either die or come back here again. Either way, it will not be good for the Xie family, so The blind man must strike first.

Soon, a large amount of water began to emerge from the deep hole of Taiji Pool, until it filled both sides, and even overflowed, but what is surprising is that this time the water is completely opposite to what it was just now, ice water They switched places with the hot springs.

The blind man nodded and said, "It seems that the way to raise Hydra is to alternately use hot and cold water as culture medium."

"Ha, wouldn't the hydra suffer a lot, and they have to go through the test of ice and fire every once in a while, it's really hard for them." Leng Tang couldn't help laughing.

"It should be more than that. I'm afraid the composition of the water is also strange, which is why the polyps grow so big. But it doesn't matter. As long as we destroy this place without leaving any traces, they will have nothing to do."

"It's just how to destroy it? We have to find the key to achieve fatal destruction." Leng Tang looked around.

"Water, water is the key. The structure of this Taiji pool is very peculiar. It can draw water of different temperatures without interfering with each other. As long as we find the water source, we can destroy it in one fell swoop. Otherwise, even if we blow up here, the water source will still gush out. , as long as there are polyps still alive, then this place may continue to operate. I calculated, it took about half an hour just now before the new water will flood up, and we have half an hour." The blind man took it out of his bag A safety rope was attached, one end was stuck on the stone, and the other end was tied around the waist.

"No, it's too dangerous to go down, such a deep hole, what if the time is up before you get to the bottom, no, you can't go down." Leng Tang grabbed the blind man and stopped him.

The blind man turned his head and smiled at her, and said, "If I don't go down, should I let you go? I don't need a light down here, can you do it? Be good, little girl, don't worry about me. Don't worry, I have a fluorescent watch. If time doesn't allow, I will let you go." It will come up, just control the rope on the top and meet me." After finishing speaking, he bit the black dagger with his teeth, loaded the bullet, stuffed the gun into his right waist, adjusted his glasses, and finally pointed at the cold Tang smiled and said, "Brother, I'm going."

In the past, Leng Tang would have scolded him, but at this moment, Leng Tang was very confused, just watched him go down with a frown, pulled the rope by himself, and put one foot on the edge of the pool, he was right , the black blind man's special skills are not possessed by Leng Tang, and she can't stop the blind man, so she can only do what he says.
