Tomb Raiders Fake BG "Soul of the Sword"

The author has something to say: Some relatives suggested that the encounter with the third master was a bit cumbersome at the beginning, so I made a small revision and took it here to fill in the extras.

"When I came back to my senses, I wanted to tell Fatty this amazing discovery. When I turned around, I saw darkness behind me, and Fatty had long since disappeared."

The stone door leading to the opposite ear room disappeared at some point, and Wu Xie's heart rose to his throat.He tried to call Fatty a few times, but the voice just echoed in the ear room, and no one responded at all.

His current state is the most unfavorable situation for a rookie-level tomb robber - being alone.

Especially in this kind of ancient tomb with many traps, without the company of a master, maybe they don't know how they died in the end.

He tried his best to calm himself down, sat down at the base of the wall, closed his eyes and waited for the stone door to appear again, telling himself in his heart that he must keep calm, the more impatient he was at this time, the more he would dig his own grave.Ten seconds later, he opened his eyes and was stunned.

Because what appeared in front of his eyes was not the stone gate and the corridor leading to another ear room that he had been looking forward to for a long time, but a young girl in black robe and black hair.

This is the first time Wu Xie really saw Ah Jiu.

At this moment, she was standing in front of him, looking at him expressionlessly.He was so frightened that he stood up, and wanted to back up, but found that his back was already pressed against the wall.

"who?"

Wu Xie felt his teeth trembling.

Can he calm down? In this place where no one is alive, no one is dead, there is suddenly such a person who doesn't know whether he is a human or a ghost. Maybe he is a thousand-year-old rice dumpling. How can he not be afraid!

The girl still didn't speak, but just looked at him straightly, her eyes that couldn't show any emotions made Wu Xie get goosebumps all over her body.

After a while, maybe because he didn't feel any malice from the other party, Wu Xie slowly calmed down: "Could it be that you are also fighting?"

As soon as Wu Xie asked this sentence, he realized that something was wrong. The girl in front of her was wearing a black wide-sleeved robe, her long black hair spread to her waist, her skin had an unusual paleness, her black pupils were as calm as water, and she was the only one in her whole body. Where there is color, it is the dark golden pattern embroidered on the black wide-sleeved robe,

Leaving aside the discussion of how she got down without a diving suit, how can ordinary people still wear this suit now?

It's really fucking evil, is this also an illusion?

"It's really disappointing that I don't remember me so soon." Her expression changed suddenly, and the indifferent look on her face was swept away, replaced by a playful smile.

Wu Xie froze for a moment, her brain spun rapidly, searching for her recent memory, her face froze suddenly as if she remembered something.

"You, you are..."

There was absolutely no mistake, he was not hallucinating.Isn't the woman in front of him the one who sat on a branch and waved to him when he was in Qixing Lu Palace? !

"It seems that I remembered." She smiled with satisfaction.

"You...how did you come in, and at that time, in Qixing Lu Palace, you...who are you?" Wu Xie's thinking was a little short-circuited, and his words were incoherent, while not forgetting to stick to the wall, one step at a time. step away from her.

"Anyway, I saved you that day, don't you feel any gratitude at all?" She restrained her smile a little, and turned to face Wu Xie: "You really don't know who I am?"

Wu Xie settled down, looking from her head to her toes, and then from her toes to her face.Once again, he confirmed that he did not know the person in front of him.

But what is familiar...

"..."

clothing!

After looking for a long time, he finally found something strange. He was indeed not familiar with this person's face at all, but the dark golden pattern on the girl's clothes in front of him.

Although he only met it a few times, as a researcher of antiques, he is absolutely confident that he will never forget the appearance of the dragon's back.The pattern on this woman's clothes is exactly the same as the pattern on the little brother's old black gold knife! !

"Black gold ancient knife!" The word blurted out, and he was also frightened by his own thoughts.

"Oh, you're enlightened." She flicked her sleeves lightly, walked to the side of the corridor, and groped on the stone wall with her slender fingers, as if she was looking for something.

Wu Xie wiped off the sweat from his forehead, thinking that this time it's really fucking hell, not only the zongzi but also the knife spirit ran out.He thought silently in his heart, even if he was asked to work as a nanny for the third uncle in the future, he would definitely not come to Xiadou.

But no matter what he said, his ancestors have been experts in inversion for many generations. He also heard many stories from his grandfather when he was a child.Moreover, he had seen similar records in his grandfather's notes.

——The souls that are preserved in ancient tombs, temples, and other places with strong spiritual fields will slowly produce souls. These souls with powerful spiritual power can materialize after obtaining specific conditions.

"You...don't stay in the knife well, why did you come out?"

"Because it's boring," she shrugged. "I'm bored in the ground every day. I might sleep for decades. When I wake up, I'll stare at the pile of funeral objects in a daze. The chance to come out like this is very rare for me." few."

It’s hard to come out once, so what if you don’t have fun.

Wu Xie suddenly remembered that when the fat man wanted to dismantle the Yuyong, the ancient knife thrown by the younger brother was inserted into the coffin impartially, and then he saw a burst of blackness rising from the coffin near the sword body. Smoke, like burning something.At that time, I thought it was some corpse aura, but now that I think about it, could it be that this knife sucked away the aura of the corpse in the coffin.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and carefully glanced at the absent-minded Ajiu, half-jokingly said: "Your life with those precious treasures every day, how many people can't dream of it."

But it turned out to be in the tomb, no wonder it was dug out by the third uncle.

She glanced at Wu Xie with a half-smile, and shook her head: "That kind of ore is just a more gorgeous funerary object polished. I really don't understand why you humans would risk your life for that kind of thing."

Wu Xie sighed silently in his heart, you, a knife soul who stays in the knife every day and doesn't understand the world, of course won't understand, for human society, money is everything.

<<<<<

"Black knife?" Wu Xie walked to her side and squatted down.

She didn't react for a while, she turned to look at Wu Xie: "Are you calling me?"

"Yeah." Mr. Tianzhen nodded, his eyes were innocent: "The black gold ancient knife is too long, it is called black knife for short."

"That's just a code name you humans gave me without authorization." She said slightly dissatisfied: "Just call me Ajiu."

——Good earth, who gave you this name?This was Wu Xie's first reaction. In his impression, the name of such a knife with a lot of origin and value should be very gorgeous and intimidating. He didn't expect that there would be a lot of common ones called Ajiu. civilian title.

Wu Xie didn't dare to ask this question out, although she can't be regarded as a human being, she is still a girl, and it would be dereliction of duty to dismantle her as a man casually.

"Then what should we do next?" He glanced at Wu Xie.

"Huh?" Someone was dumbfounded.

"That door has disappeared altogether, and now there may be just an empty chamber opposite that stone wall—or nothing at all, and we can't find them."

"……"silent.

"Ah, that's right." Wu Xie slapped his forehead suddenly: "Ajiu, although you appear in a materialized form, the knife itself is still with my little brother, right?"

"Yes."

"I heard that the return of the spirit body to the main body will not be blocked by physical factors in the world?" His face seemed to see the dawn of tomorrow: "Then you can go back to my little brother now and tell them where it is. What about the situation?"

"I didn't expect you to know a lot." Ajiu showed an approving expression to Wu Xie: "But unfortunately, if I could do it, I would have done it a long time ago."

"……What's the meaning?"

"Hmm..." Ajiu squeezed her chin: "I came out of the knife when you wanted to get a jar from here to fish out the corpse water in the coffin next door. I thought the same as you at the time, so I didn’t notice when that stone gate disappeared.”

As he said that, he glanced at the place where the Shimen was just now: "But when the Shimen disappeared, I realized that I couldn't go back."

Having said that, looking at Wu Xie's face again, it changed from sunny to cloudy in a flash, and a drop of cold sweat still flowed from the forehead.

She walked to the wall and stroked the smooth surface: "Here, there are half-open barriers everywhere... Do you understand barriers?"

"Boundary? Uh..." He often sees it in novels and comics. It is a spell used to block or divide space.Wu Xie scratched her head: "But does that kind of thing really exist?"

"Since even I can actually exist, why can't there be an enchantment? Don't think that your so-called 'science' can explain everything." Ajiu's eyes were somewhat disdainful, but it was not aimed at Wu Xie: "Although the enchantment cannot be seen , I can’t figure it out, if the required formation is arranged in a specific space, the people in this ‘formation’ will be restricted by hallucinations or real objects and cannot get out, ghost hitting the wall is one of them.”

Wu Xie nodded and listened carefully: "Then why is it 'half-handed'?"

"Literally, the enchantments here are all semi-finished products. The people who built this place know Fengshui, and seem to have studied enchantments a little bit." She walked to the blue and white porcelain altar and squatted down, picking up an altar with her right hand: "Do you think these things Is it just to record the construction works at that time? Then why put them here?"

Wu Xie suddenly realized that precious recording materials should usually be recorded on scrolls or bamboo slips, and carefully stored near the coffin. Inside the ear chamber of the protective measures."

"Well, one is to let future generations discover his past achievements. The other is to set up a protective barrier, killing two birds with one stone."

"But... Although this kind of altar is valuable, it is not rare. Many royal tombs will be placed there as sacrifices."

"Everything in the world has its meaning and aura." Ajiu beckoned to let him go, and then handed him the long-necked porcelain bottle: "Besides, if it's just a jar, of course it won't work. Look at the bottom of this bottle .”

Wu Xie took the bottle and touched the delicate bottom of the bottle. He couldn't help being stunned by the unevenness from his fingertips.Then I got up and looked at the other bottles. Unsurprisingly, there was an engraving on the bottom of all the bottles: "This is...the serial number?"

I was attracted by the events recorded on the porcelain just now, and I didn't notice the bottom of the bottle at all.He checked the bottom of the bottle carefully again, only to find that the patterns on the bottom of the bottle were neither numbers nor Chinese characters, but somewhat similar to Sanskrit.

Ajiu stood up and looked around the stone room: "The formation of the barrier also requires many other elements, such as shape, size, number, distance from the coffin, placement, and surrounding environment...Use these factors to form a 'array', the formation The things in the ear chamber can be protected. Of course, these porcelains are not the only ones used to arrange the barriers here, probably there are similar things in other ear chambers."

Wu Xie was stunned when he heard this: "But according to what you said, if the enchantment is completed, wouldn't people be unable to enter?"

She nodded: "But there is a decisive factor here that makes it impossible to complete this enchantment."

"Elevator!" Wu Xie exclaimed.The key word 'elevator' that I heard from the third uncle is unintentionally a big mechanism of this underwater tomb, which can change the internal structure unconsciously.

"Yes." Ajiu narrowed his eyes: "The number of objects to construct the barrier and the geographical location between the coffins are very important. A slight change will affect the effect of the barrier, but the position here often shifts. As a result, the enchantment is also incomplete...Of course, it is also possible that the builder deliberately set it up like this."

"Deliberately? Why is it necessary?"

"I want humans to discover this place, but I also don't want 'spirits' to do evil here." Ajiu replied: "Even if the other corpses used as sacrifices are recovered, they can only be trapped in the stone room where they are. not coming."

"But, you just said that these porcelains are part of the enchantment that makes up this stone chamber. If you break them, you can get out?" Wu Xie hammered his palm.

"Well, it's just about this room."

"Eh?"

Seeing Wu Xie's dull expression, Ajiu sighed: "As I said just now, it is estimated that there is more than one room with a barrier, and they must be arranged in the place where they are. What's more, if you randomly place the barrier If the balance is disturbed, here... the 'zongzi' you call will cause commotion."

"So, we have completely lost the means to contact them." After listening to the explanation, Wu Xie froze all of a sudden, and the spark of hope he finally saw was shattered: "How could this be..."

"However, that's fine. With your skill, you won't be enough to stay there." Ajiu spread her hands.

Wu Xie's expression became serious: "How do you say that?"

"Did I say it, the barrier here is used to limit the range of activities of the 'spirit'." Ajiu slowly turned her head, with a wicked smile on the corner of her mouth: "That zongzi is very dangerous."
