Tomb Raiders Fake BG "Soul of the Sword"

I thought some kind of monster would come out, but I didn't expect it to be a small rice dumpling.

Let's call this thing 'it' for now.At this time, his head was hanging down, his weed-like hair covered his entire face, his two arms were hanging outside like two dead branches, his charcoal-black skin was tightly attached to his bones, if it wasn't because of the white clothes covering him , it is estimated that what is in front of them now will be a living skeleton covered with skin.

Seeing that the way forward and backward was blocked, it stood still and became quiet.One person, one soul, one zongzi were in a stalemate for dozens of seconds.Suddenly, it rushed towards the direction where Ajiu was.

However, Ajiu is not a vegetarian either. She dodged sideways, stretched out her hand to grab its hair, and at the same time tripped it to the ground, and stepped on the neck of the thing fiercely, and its throat burst out "哟——— —'The voice is like painful □.

Zhang Qiling looked at Ajiu with no expression on his face as he restrained the zongzi twice, without moving his eyelids, as if he knew he didn't need to make a move from the beginning.

Ajiu raised her head and asked with her eyes what to do with the thing under his feet.Zhang Qiling picked up the flashlight, went to squat down in front of it, and took a photo.The thing seemed to be sensitive to light, and it hunched sideways to get away from the flashlight.

Zhang Qiling brushed the thing's hair away with a flashlight, and under the light of the flashlight, a terrifying face leaked out of the hair.

The face seemed to have been splashed with strong acid, half of the skin from the bridge of the nose to the right forehead was gone, and yellow pus flowed from the right eye.The remaining half of the face was also a kind of charred brown-black, and it looked like a crumpled piece of paper when it was unfolded again.

"Tsk. What a disobedient brat!" Ajiu frowned dissatisfiedly, stepped up the strength of her right foot to restrain the tumbling guy, and said to her master, "Hurry up if you want to do it."

Taking another look at the messy hair, Zhang Qiling stood up and drew out the ancient black gold knife and raised it slowly.

Just as he was about to cut it off, the thing suddenly stopped moving. After a few seconds, there was a shock, and the joints of the whole body twitched, like a toy that had been cut off and suddenly restarted.In order to break free, his body has been twisted out of shape, and he keeps making "cluck, cluck, cluck" sounds.A dry hand stretched out from under the white clothes, pulling Ah Jiu's ankle to one side.

Ajiu was caught off guard by this sudden blow, she couldn't stand still and fell forward.

She yelled in her heart that it was not good, this corridor is too narrow, Zhang Qiling is in front of her, falling straight like this will definitely trip him, it would be bad to let that guy run away after a little delay.So she gritted her teeth, reluctantly turned sideways to make way for Zhang Qiling, who stepped forward at the same time, grabbed Ajiu's arm with one hand, and let go of the black knife in the other hand, flying straight ahead, viciously It pierced the zongzi with a sharp knife, and there was the sound of the tip of the knife piercing the brick.

The thing struggled a few times before dying, and gradually stopped moving.Ajiu looked at the corpse, then at the big hand holding her arm, and stabilized her figure.

"Thank you."

Zhang Qiling let go of her hand silently, and went forward to remove the knife from the ground.All of a sudden, the black blood and corpse water in the corpse were brought out, splashing a corner of the wall, and the putrid smell spread rapidly in the air.

Looking at the blood-stained knife, Ajiu was a little surprised, thinking how much effort Zhang Qiling had used, that only a quarter of the knife's blade hadn't gone into the bricks.

He wiped the blood off the blade and put the knife away, then turned his head to motion for Ah Jiu to pick up her bag and continue on her way.

This time, they found the entrance to the tomb easily.

There is no door at the entrance of the tomb, only a threshold and a door frame.After crossing the [-] cm high threshold and entering, Ajiu was stunned.

The room was empty.

Empty tomb? ?How is it possible that there will be zongzi in the empty tomb?

Zhang Qiling's back was also obviously stiff, and he quickly walked forward and looked at the stone room.Its area is not large, only about [-] square meters, and the bricks on the floor and walls are the same as the outside.He squatted by the wall and groped for a long time, his eyes lit up, and he moved a stone slab.

Behind the stone slab is a small robbery hole.

<<<<<

Ajiu finally crawled out of this damn narrow robbery hole, got up and patted the dust off her body, seeing Zhang Qiling standing in front, she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Why..." The words froze before the words came out.The moment she turned her head, Ajiu suddenly had the urge to draw a knife and split the tomb in half.

This room seems to be not far from the room they entered just now, and the scene is exactly the same as the room just now.The only difference is that there are four pillar-shaped lampstands standing in the center.

Zhang Qiling struck a match and lit the four oil lamps, and the orange light immediately illuminated the small tomb.Only then did she confirm that the owner of the tomb didn't seem to be playing with them.

On the ground between the four pillars, there is a disc with a totem painted on it!

Ajiu stepped forward and bent down in front of the disc, stroking it with her slender fingers, only to realize that it was not a painting, but the precise lines were engraved on the floor.And the blue bricks in this position are also different from the square bricks in other parts of the tomb. It looks like a ring is set outside the ring, and the center is a whole round brick.The strangest thing is the shape of the totem on the disc. At first glance, the lines on it are extremely complicated and intricately tangled together, but it is impossible to tell what is carved on it.

So far, both of them understood what kind of institution this was.

"Heh, is there a puzzle after the maze? The master here is really charming." Ajiu raised her eyebrows: "Do you have a clue?"

Zhang Qiling pinched his chin and stared at this pattern for a while, then he thought of something, took out the four key bricks from his bag, and made a "Tian" character.When Ajiu saw the graphic, she smiled meaningfully.

Those four bricks made out a glutton with its mouth wide open.

Not a dragon, not a phoenix, not a unicorn.

Taotie, a monster from the "Shan Hai Jing", has a sheep body and tiger teeth, eyes in the armpits, and is extremely greedy.The taotie face pattern is also a common pattern on bronze wares.

You must know that gluttony does not represent auspiciousness or wealth, and it has no effect of calming the soul.

From ancient times to the present, it has only one symbolic meaning, greed.

Is it just a hobby of the owner of the tomb to carve this totem in the tomb, or does it have some meaning?

The next work is very simple. Zhang Qiling half-knelt in the center of the disc, turning the ring-shaped masonry with two oddly long fingers, and glanced at the pattern made of 'keys' on the side from time to time. When the outermost circle stopped, there was a loud noise.Ajiu felt the earthquake under her feet twice, and the disc where Zhang Qiling was on sank slowly.

He got up and took a few steps back, jumping to a safe area.

After the disc sank a palm deep, it moved aside.A wide stone staircase emerges inside.

"Why do you still have to go down?" Ajiu was puzzled. Although it was halfway up the hill, they had already descended to a depth of more than [-] meters. Now there was a passage, and they still had to go down.

Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, and took the lead with a flashlight.Ajiu shook her head helplessly and followed.

Compared with the roads we walked just now, this stone step descends suddenly. Although it can't be said to be straight up and down at [-] degrees, it is really steep and mysterious.The further you go down, the stronger the dizziness in the corridor.Her intuition told her that the gathering places of those wraiths were right below.

Is the owner of the tomb planning to build his own tomb all the way to the underworld?

At the end of the steps was a stone wall. After Zhang Qiling walked to the end, he turned right and entered a small door. Seeing this, Ajiu quickened his pace and chased after him. As soon as he turned around, he almost bumped into the person who stopped in front.

"What's the matter?" She poked her head out from behind Zhang Qiling, and her eyes suddenly opened up. It was very different from the narrow space everywhere before. The reason for stopping was that a few centimeters in front of his shoes was a rectangular pit.Inside the pit was a coffin.
