Tomb Raiders Fake BG "Soul of the Sword"

Chapter 36 The Ancient House

All the people disappeared, just in such a short time.

Ajiu snorted.

It was still the same as when Li Sidi and the others disappeared. There was no sign of a fight in the house, and they should have left by themselves.

She went back to the West Wing to retrieve her purse, but as expected, the girls did not go back.The east wing was also empty, only the backpacks were scattered on the ground, and she found Zhang Qiling's backpack.

As expected, the flashlight, rope and other tools in his bag were gone, and he clearly saw him put them in before he left.

Just to say, Zhang Qiling definitely has a purpose in going to a place. It seems that this Huo's house is not as simple as it appears on the surface. He already knew what's here. Fortunately, she came prepared.

But in this way, Zhang Qiling should be acting alone different from other students.

Well, now the multiple-choice question gives options: one, find the students of the archaeological team; two, find Zhang Qiling.

And this choice is meaningless in front of her.

<<<<<

Finding the cellar entrance didn't take much effort.

The small warehouse next to the main building is uniquely designed and is a duplex.There is a wooden door on the wooden ladder, which is the ladder to go down when opened.

Generally speaking, cellars are not used in courtyards, but the entrance of Huo Ling's cellar is not particularly secretive. It should not be a secret room, but purely used for storing things.Fortunately, the nearby underground is not humid, and the temperature of the cellar is relatively low even in summer, so it is perfect for storing things.

Ajiu lit a candle, took the bag in one hand and took the candle in the other and walked slowly down step by step. After walking about twenty steps, she reached the end.

She fumbled on the wall for a long time but couldn't find the switch for the light. It is estimated that there is no lamp underground.So Ajiu put down the candle, and took out the small LED flashlight in the bag, which she brought from the future, and only needed one AA battery in it.

This is a small cellar, less than seven or eight square meters.

This place gave her a very strange feeling.

Not to mention the shelves placed inside and the boxes covered with cloth.This place seems to have been neglected for decades, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated.

Obviously, the courtyard above can be seen to have been renovated this year. Since the cellar is preserved, why not renovate it.

The candle on the ground flicked twice, Ajiu turned off the flashlight, and carefully held it up.

The door of the cellar was closed when he came in, and it was not difficult to tell from the flickering of the candle that the draft was not coming from there.And the wind means that the underground is connected to the outside.

She lifted the cloth covering the box, and a cloud of dust choked her upright.What surprised her was that the bottom was not a wooden box, but a shelf filled with wine jars.

Did the Huo family still have a hobby of collecting old wine?She smiled, and carefully poked open the kraft paper on a jar of wine.Suddenly, a smell of alcohol rushed into her nostrils, and the strong aroma made her feel dizzy for a while.

This jar of wine is by no means a product of recent years. This precipitated aroma should have been stored for at least a hundred years. Because it was sealed very well, there was no smell of deterioration.

This is good wine, and old wine at that.Even if you buy it, you can pay a considerable price. The Huo family must have spent a lot of money to get so much old wine.

She covered the cloth again, and before she could stand up, she felt a sharp and hard object hit her forehead.Because of the dark light, she didn't notice that there was this thing on the wall.Turning on the flashlight, it turned out to be a candlestick.The candlestick was a brass vessel covered with a green patina.

I searched the small cellar with a flashlight, and found that there was only one candlestick.She reached out and knocked on the wall, raised her hand to feel it again, and when she found a point, she squeezed the thin handle of the candlestick and turned it to the right.Before she could cry out in surprise, she felt the wall against which she was leaning turned suddenly, bringing her to the other side of the wall.

On this side of the wall, the candle was blown by the wind that turned over the stone door, jumped twice, and went out.

<<<<<

On the other side, Ajiu rubbed her sore arms and shoulders that were hit by the wall.Although I was mentally prepared, I didn't expect this secret door to be opened like this.

Pick up the flashlight that fell by his feet, fortunately the flashlight is here, otherwise this black light is blind, and he doesn't even have a lighting tool.

However, the candlestick just now didn't show signs of being pulled recently, so didn't Zhang Qiling come here?

It seemed to be a dark room, about the size of the cellar next door.The reason why the Huo family didn't renovate the cellar should be because they were afraid that this place would be discovered.

Ajiu groped around the wall that she turned over just now, but found nothing similar to a mechanism.This wall should only be accessible from one side. Once you enter, unless someone pulls the candlestick from the outside, you will be trapped here.

— Or, find another exit.

Because on the wall right in front of her, there is a square door opening, which should be a passage leading to other places.

There were gusts of wind blowing from inside, and Ajiu walked in with concentration.The sound of her walking is very soft, and her ears are always listening for the sound of a similar mechanism being activated.

But what he is walking now is not so much a passage, but a tomb passage.

——If you are still the soul of the sword, you may be able to hear the whispers of ghosts.She thought so.

It may be the intuition of so many years, even after becoming a human, she still has the sixth sense from the time of Soul Blade.She knows what lies ahead.

As expected, the flashlight in his hand found a stone gate, about one meter high.She knelt down and groped around the door panel for a while, then lay down on it to listen.

There is a mechanism under the door panel, it is estimated that it is a back arrow or something.

I don't bring any explosives now, so I definitely can't blow the door out, let alone cut the top of the door, it's too small, and I don't have bone shrinking skills like Zhang Qiling.Ajiu squeezed her chin and thought for a while, then took out the black gold fan from her bag, and put the flashlight on the ground beside her.

After getting ready, Ah Jiu carefully pushed the stone door.The stone door was very heavy, she gritted her teeth and pushed it open.At the same time as the stone door opened, the hidden arrow that was pressed in the crack of the door swished through the shackles of the string, and came straight towards Ajiu.

She was not in a hurry, narrowed her eyes slightly, turned sideways, raised her head, and calmly dodged the hidden arrows one by one.Turning around and pulling out the fan, with a ding sound, the last one was knocked down by the ancient fan.

No scratches on the clothes.

She picked up an arrow on the ground and found that it was bronze.Judging by the rust on it, it should be quite old.Thanks to such an ancient mechanism, it can still be activated now.

After making sure that no mechanism would be activated by this door, she bent down and entered.

After entering, Ajiu became surprised, and the light of the flashlight inadvertently shone on the wall of the corridor.The grey-yellow tomb wall is not a gorgeous mural, but a densely carved demon-suppressing spirit!

And this amount is abnormal.On the walls, on the ceiling, including on the floor around the corners, there are dense carvings.It is even more powerful than the scriptures in Jing'er Palace.

This aroused Ah Jiu's interest, what was buried inside?

If Ajiu is 20 years later, she will definitely not like this place.Although this kind of scripture spirit is something that suppresses demons, it will also have some influence on her sword soul.She herself would not take the initiative to contact such a place.But it didn't matter now, this human body didn't make her feel any discomfort.

She walked down this downward corridor step by step, the further down she went, the colder the air became.The scriptures on both sides remained the same, and finally when he was approaching the main tomb, Ah Jiu saw a different place by the wall.

After so many years of wind and frost, the things carved on it are no longer clear. Ajiu patted the dust on it with her hand, revealing the corner of the wall that had been carved messily.

Unlike other things carved by artisans on the wall, this was obviously hand-carved by non-professionals later.One knife after another, although it was chaotic, it revealed a very strong emotion, as if it was so engraved that people wanted to keep this sentence here forever, unforgettable.

On the wall that was inscribed with random knives, she recognized three words - 'forgive me'.

<<<<<

forgive me?

From whom does the person with the inscription seek forgiveness?Is it the owner of this tomb?

She was puzzled.

Obviously the owner of the tomb is a dead person, so what kind of forgiveness can he get from there?

Can't help but sigh.

Human beings are fragile and can never escape the shackles of emotion.

She turned to the main tomb. The square floor and curved roof followed the ancient people's idea of ​​a round sky and a round earth.The black coffin lay quietly in the center of the tomb.

The coffin was two meters high, and judging by its size, it was probably a joint burial of husband and wife.Ajiu touched the body of the coffin, it felt cold and smooth to the touch, it should be made of black jade.Such a large black jade coffin is usually used by the royal family, compared to the owner of this tomb must be very rich.

She turned around and saw an epitaph on one side of the coffin.

She wiped out part of it, and it was in beautiful italics.After trying to read a few lines, the first half is still the life of the male owner of the tomb.But the further you read it, the more it looks like an apology.A letter of apology from the hostess to the hostess.

It said that he once killed his wife and unborn child by himself in a moment of confusion in order to revive his bankrupt family business.Too late to regret, I beg my wife and children to forgive me, and I will repay you more in the next life.

"This is...?" Ajiu frowned, why is this so similar to the story of the landlord that Huo Ling told?

Before she could finish reading the following, there was a muffled sound from inside the coffin, as if something was hitting the coffin lid.
