Tomb Raiders Fake BG "Soul of the Sword"

In the depths of Changbai Snow Mountain, time and seasons are almost constant.If she hadn't checked the almanac before departure, Ajiu, who was in the vast white world, wouldn't even know that it was autumn.At this time, she was sitting curled up in a cave, wearing the mountaineering suit that Zhang Qiling put on her forcefully before leaving, orange flames were jumping in her black pupils, and the ancient black gold knife lay quietly on the side.

She didn't know how long she had maintained this sitting position, and the fire light in front of her eyes gradually dimmed as time went by.It's very quiet here, so quiet that you can only hear your own breathing.So when she heard a rustling sound not far away.She knew that that person was back.

Turning his head sideways, Zhang Qiling, who was full of travel and dust, sat down diagonally opposite her: "It seems that the sky is about to change outside, we may not be able to move for the time being."

She nodded, and seeing his tired expression, she asked, "Have you dealt with everything?"

His eyes flickered, and he replied, "Yeah."

She was silent and looked away.

A few days ago, Zhang Qiling was going to leave the ghost seal that she had been keeping since he lost his memory and brought it out of Qixing Lu Palace.She knew that he was going to hand over this ghost seal to someone else.And this person is probably Wu Xie.

Zhang Qiling said that he would guard behind the bronze gate for ten years.She guessed that within five years, Wu Xie would bring Yuxi to look for him.

The bonds between people are incredible things.

fetters...

She suddenly thought of something, turned her head and asked: "Zhang Qiling, what do you want to ask me that day in the meteorite of the Queen Mother of the West?"

Zhang Qiling was taken aback for a moment, looking at Ajiu with a somewhat perplexed gaze.

"It's nothing, if you don't remember..."

"Who did you see through me?" He asked back.

"Huh?" Ajiu was baffled by this question that didn't make sense.Zhang Qiling suddenly narrowed the distance with her, and his breath that rushed towards her made Ajiu back away, but it seemed that the other party did not intend to let her go, and slowly forced her over.

"20 years ago, you were in Yunnan Jing'er Palace... No, it's not just that time." She just stared at him in a daze.I have never seen Zhang Qiling's fiery and deep eyes, tightly grasping my own eyes, unable to look away.

"Whose shadow do you see in me?"

The problem that was planted in the bottom of my heart 20 years ago quickly grew and blossomed.

He didn't like her looking at him that way.He would rather that her eyes never rest on him, but he resented the expression of looking at others while clearly staring at him.

She looked at Zhang Qiling's eyes from surprise to low, and pulled out a wry smile.Then she stretched out her hand, gently pushed Zhang Qiling, and opened the distance between them.Ajiu adjusted her sitting posture, raised her head and thought about something.

"Let me tell you a story." The expression on her face was very relaxed, Zhang Qiling didn't speak, and quietly listened to her narration in a hoarse voice.

"From ancient times, there has been a distinctive family line. They have different blood from ordinary people and enjoy an extraordinary life span. Their main job is tomb robbery. There is an excellent blacksmith in this family. Once he Went with the rest of the family to a tomb that was associated with their ancestors, from where he brought back a sacred stone. He spent many years casting that sacred stone and black gold into a knife with a sharp blade The speed was almost second to none at that time, but the weight of the knife was not something that ordinary people could use freely. So before the knife maker died, he dedicated this unique knife in the world to their patriarch."

"I don't know when, this knife has become one of the symbols of the patriarch of that clan. Every time there is a change of generation, the previous patriarch will pass this knife to the new patriarch and take over from him to manage the entire family."

"This family gradually began to expand its power, and gradually became involved with political disputes. During the Yuan Dynasty, Genghis Khan expanded his territory on a large scale. At that time, the patriarch was a general under the Khan. He attacked the Western Regions with a knife, which is what you are now The said European territory, and bloodbathed several cities with that knife."

"The grievances and hatred of the people who were massacred were attached to the knife like a curse, and the patriarch and his team were wiped out soon after. Terrible deaths—accidents, disease. Those within the family thought it was the curse of the knife, until the new chief found a way to contain the evil spirit."

"He needs a complete and healthy soul to suppress the other souls inside. The souls of ordinary people can't meet this requirement, so in the end he put the target on his own daughter. The patriarch used Gu to separate her soul from her body, Seal it into the blade."

"That poor woman is me." Ajiu's eyes were like a calm lake, as if she was narrating something completely unrelated to her.She took out the hair tie she found in Zhangjialou's own coffin, fiddled with it, and threw it to Zhang Qiling.

"The process of separating my soul from my body was very painful. I would rather they give me a knife. But my cries and pleadings were not heard by anyone."

"'I' didn't want to die. So at that time, I hated the Zhang family and 'Zhang Qiling', and I wanted to give back everything they gave me!... But as time went by, I gradually began to forget, those things Hatred and obsession. Maybe it's because I have merged with the soul in the blade. Until one day, I forgot my name and where I came from. The only thing left in my memory is "I It's the fact that it's a black gold ancient sword."

"And then I met that guy."

Zhang Qiling held his breath, he saw that Ajiu's expression softened, and there was a faint smile on his lips, as if he was missing something.He didn't know how to describe Ah Jiu at that moment, but he knew very well that her gentle expression at this moment did not belong to him.

"That person was killed by the Zhang family." Speaking of this, Ajiu's fingers tightly stuck to the arms around her, and her eyes were like icehouses, full of hatred: "The opinions between him and the elders have emerged. Fork. He wants to announce to the world the secret that the Zhang family has guarded for many years. Although I still don’t know what the secret the Zhang family is guarding, the conservative elders will certainly not allow anyone to eradicate the foundation of the Zhang family. , They used his wife as a bait to lure him into the shortlist, and wiped out him and his supporters, the Zhang family."

"He said he wanted me not to hate—well, I admit that it's all an excuse now, an excuse to get away with my own weakness. I choose to forget everything about him, sleep in a knife for a hundred years and never return, I don't think there will be another 'master' of mine until your blood awakens me."

"Listen. You are neither the daughter of the head of the Zhang family, nor the black gold that slaughtered the city, you are you." Zhang Qiling said, he stretched out his hand to pinch Ajiu's chin, and turned her face to him: "Jiu, if you say Give you a chance to let you become a human again, would you like to?"

<<<<<

It was dark outside the bronze door, only the flashlight in his hand left a glimmer of light. In this huge space, it was like a star in the dark night.

"Zhang Qiling, is there a signal flare?"

A flare lit up in mid-air, allowing Ajiu to clearly see the pattern on the bronze door.The pattern on the door is very complicated, because the door is too tall, which makes the pattern look small and delicate, it looks a bit like many slender snakes climbing on it.

Even if it is a hundred-year-old knife, seeing such a miracle also makes me feel small.

Thinking of her incompatibility when she approached the bronze door last time, just as Ah Jiu was about to enter the blade, Zhang Qiling in front turned around and stuffed something into her hand.Looking down, it was the hair tie that was thrown to him in the hole just now but forgot to return.

"This is made of the material used to make hexagonal soul-suppressing bells. Wearing it next to your body will help you keep your soul intact." Zhang Qiling explained.

Ajiu silently put it into her pocket, and it was impossible for Zhang Qiling to miss the snake eyebrow fish engraved on the surface of the hairband.Of course, she should also know that this is something Wang Zanghai left for her.

Wang Zanghai...

She glanced at the bronze door for the last time, she didn't know much about Li Jian's old friend.But it was such a person who almost ran through all of Zhang Qiling's actions.

The architect of the royal tomb, the secret of the bronze gate, the enemy of the Zhang family...

[Why is the girl not good at Phoenix, but only loves Qilin? 】

[The time is ripe.The fate that has been entangled for a hundred years is about to enter the final chapter.Everyone will inevitably be involved in this torrent of ending.You, me, Zhang Qiling...no one can escape. 】

[It is a scroll. 】.

[The branch of the Zhang family, the family tree of Chessboard Zhang. 】.

"Ah..." She thought of something in a flash of inspiration. At this time, the lights went out and everything returned to darkness. At the same time, there was a loud bang and the melodious sound of horns came from the depths.

This voice is borrowed by Yin soldiers.Ah Jiu turned her head and saw Zhang Qiling holding the ghost seal.He has summoned Yin soldiers and opened the bronze door.

"Let's go, Jiu. What you want is right here."

He had no hesitation, no fear.For the first time, Ajiu became interested in his ideas. Why did he do this, for Wu Xie?For himself?Or is it to fulfill the obligation as the head of the Zhang family?

The Zhang family's ancestral training is to guard the secret behind the bronze door.Later, the Great Buddha summoned the old nine gates and made an agreement that the family would send representatives to guard the gate every ten years.In fact, the Old Nine Gates may have had a prototype a long time ago. Ajiu remembered the neat rows of wine jars she saw in the basement of Huo Ling's house 20 years ago. Wu Xie and the others also saw them in the domain of Queen Mother of the West. the same thing.Has the Huo family explored the secret of longevity like the Zhang family?Or is it the same for other sects, and the "Changsha Old Nine Gates" finally formed is not accidental, but premeditated?

They followed the horse-faced soldiers into the bronze gate.The inside of the door is no longer pitch black, but some places emit a faint blue cold light, and their surroundings are basically surrounded by thick fog, and only the back of the Yin soldier can be seen within the visible range.

The last time Zhang Qiling entered the bronze gate, Ajiu was sleeping in the blade, this time she could really feel everything behind the gate.The spiritual power that diffused from the depths was ethereal and sacred. This kind of feeling couldn't be called good or bad. It was a bit like the Qinling Mountains that I had been to before.

"This is the root of longevity, Queen Mother Xi, Tie Miansheng, Wang Zanghai, Zhang Family, Lao Jiumen...everything comes from here..." Zhang Qiling muttered to himself.

"Actually, Queen Mother Xi's 'Longevity' experiment can't be said to have failed completely." Ajiu said: "After she found the meteorite, she practiced the elixir and made the jade figurines. Even though the purposes are different, the existence of these two items is for the same purpose ——'Longevity'."

"Prolong life and preserve corpses from decay." Zhang Qiling was stunned.

"Yes." Ajiu nodded: "The so-called longevity may not mean immortality at all, but prolonging life and ensuring that the bones will last forever with a young posture after death. From the results, Queen Mother of the West succeeded, and the Zhang family is the best example. .”

"You mean that the ancestors of the Zhang family were the experimental products under the Queen Mother of the West? In fact, the Zhang family has existed since the time of the Queen Mother of the West?"

"It looks like you didn't find any useful information from the Zhangjialou." Ajiu shrugged: "This is just my guess. Otherwise, why would the Zhang family practice intra-clan intermarriage even if their offspring will suffer from soul-destroying disease?" ? The medicine changed the blood and physique of the original people, and only through intermarriage within the clan can they maintain their 'longevity'. And the elixir must have been mixed with the fragments of the sky stone, and the material for casting my blade also has the same ingredients."

Zhang Qiling frowned, as if he was thinking about something, it was unclear if he was listening, Ajiu continued to speak.

"Later, the Queen Mother of the West gave up the 'Longevity' plan for some reason, maybe she had already obtained longevity, or she experienced something that made her think that longevity was meaningless... Then she destroyed all the pills that made it successful medicine, and then disappear forever in the world."

"Afterwards, someone discovered the secret of the Queen Mother of the West and started a new study on longevity. The elixir that Chen Wenjin and the others took back then may have been a semi-finished product researched by later generations."

"And the other most important point in the study of longevity by the Queen Mother of the West, isn't it here?"

That day in the Xiwangmu Meteorite Cave, they were brought into the illusion created by Xiwangmu respectively.There, she saw the ghost of the Queen Mother of the West, and Zhang Qiling must have also seen the secrets about Changsheng and the Zhang family.

I don't know when the Yin soldiers walking in front disappeared without a trace, and the fog gradually faded away, allowing Ah Jiu to see this space clearly.This place looks like a huge stalactite cave. Irregular stalactites hang down from the zenith, and there are many blue light spots on it, like a galaxy, which should be bugs in the dormant period.

And there is a stone platform that they want to make artificially at the place they are facing, and the top of the stone platform is a huge spar.Seeing Zhang Qiling stepping up the stone steps step by step, Ah Jiu hurriedly followed.When she went up, she found that it was a natural coffin.The material of the spar is somewhat similar to crystal, its shape is very irregular, and it is filled with white flocs. The coffin wall is very thick, as if a coffin was made by hollowing out the middle of a big stone.

What really suffocated her was the person lying in the coffin.

The long black hair was scattered aside, and the sleeves and scarf inlaid with gold on the black background made the skin paler. The woman folded her hands on her chest and lay peacefully inside.

Like an exquisite doll.

Ajiu felt her whole body froze there, unable to move.She looked at the face in the coffin that was indistinguishable from her own, and her brain stopped thinking: "She..."

"She is Zhang Ziyao. No, it should be Zhang Ziyao's body." Zhang Qiling glanced lightly at the girl who was not breathing in the coffin: "In fact, your father still felt guilty about you, so he buried 'you' here. As you just said, this is indeed another important point of the Longevity Plan of the Queen Mother of the West. Behind this bronze door, time is still. Maybe he hopes that one day in the future, you can find your own complete body, Be the original Zhang Ziyao."

"I asked you just now, Jiu." He took out the black gold ancient knife and handed it to the already sluggish Ajiu: "The black gold blade recognizes blood, the unicorn blood you inherited from your father is still preserved in this body, as long as you Let the blade be stained with your blood, then your soul that was sealed inside and belongs to Zhang Ziyao should be liberated."

Then, you can get real freedom.

He lowered his eyes.

This should be our end too, Nine.

He didn't know how much time passed during the still time.I just feel that every moment is as long as a century. In the end, I only heard Ajiu exhale.

"Zhang Qiling, have you brought a lighter?"

He gave her a puzzled look, took out the lighter from his pocket and threw it to her.In the next second, Ah Jiu pressed the lighter, took a deep look at the person in the coffin, and then——

The small flame drew a perfect parabola in the air, fell into the coffin accurately, and boiled with a bang.

Zhang Qiling looked at what happened in front of him in disbelief, and the face of the person in the coffin gradually disappeared into the fire.He opened his mouth, but only called out the name of the person in front of him: "Jiu..."

"Heh." Ajiu's whole body's nerves relaxed, and when she turned around, what Zhang Qiling saw in her eyes was still her.

With a majestic smile, confident, and a little nervous Ah Jiu.

"As I said, I am no longer Zhang Ziyao."

God knows how much she wanted to find this body.But even if there are thousands of wishes in his heart, it has become meaningless at this time.

For a hundred years, that flickering wish was buried in an inconspicuous corner of my heart.

[I want to find myself. 】

Time is really the scariest thing in the world, it can take away your memory and your obsession.

"Now I'm just Ajiu, your sword soul."

Now, isn't that good?Father, Li Jian...

My wish is fulfilled, I have nothing to worry about.

"You are the last 'Zhang Qiling'. After you die, I will return to the blade and sleep forever until it disappears, so..."

She put the knife by her side, the point of the knife touched the ground, the sword pointed at Zhang Qiling, and knelt down on one knee.

——I am here because you were born, and I am trapped by you.

——In the following time, we will always be by your side and accompany you through the three thousand weak waters.

——If you are tired of the world one day, then I will go to the underworld with you.

The king is my master, and I am the king's blade.

God bless my lord, always be with me forever.

The author has something to say: Do you still remember the bottle Ajiu XX asked?If you have any questions about the plot development of this article or any other questions, you can post them here.A certain nine would also like to ask by the way, how much is within the acceptable range for the customization?We start full-text revision for customization.If you find bugs or typos, please point them out without hesitation!

☆, postscript

After going through ups and downs, this article has traveled a long distance for a year and a half, and it is finally over!

Here I would like to apologize to all readers.I promised to end last year's summer vacation, but it dragged on for more than a year.At the same time, I would like to say thank you to the readers who have been inseparable from a certain work and this article after delaying the manuscript for so long.

To be honest, when I first started writing this article, I never thought that I would write so many words and it was over! (I originally expected the number of words to be 11W, and now the number is almost doubled.)

Originally, I planned to open up a new hole in Ajiu's life experience and Li Jian's various new pits, and let the imagination go wild, and complete the whole story from various inferences.But the more I write to the end, the more I find that I can't write that kind of pure originality with tight thinking. My personal knowledge is not rich enough, and my writing skills are limited. As a side story, Zhang Nei interspersed some small things about getting along with Li Jian, and left the rest for everyone to YY.

As for other feelings about writing this article, please refer to 'Written in Front' for details.There is my original intention for writing this article, and I am glad that my thoughts have not changed over time, so until the end, this article did not become a real romance novel.I can watch my brother's bg, but to be honest, I really can't hold back if I write about my brother and his sister's love.I also fulfilled my promise not to collapse my little brother and third master in the copywriting ==. (Personally, I feel that my brother is not bad. I have turned my young master into a Tucao emperor. But when I said 'hard work', I didn't mean 'completely'. ←←.)

Also, please don’t be fooled by the protagonists in the text: Ajiu, Zhang Qiling, putting the younger brother’s name on it is purely to make up numbers, in fact, the only protagonist in this article is Ajiu ←w←.Reorganize the relationship between the protagonist and the supporting role in this article, the protagonist: Ajiu.Supporting role: Zhang Qiling.Hidden protagonist: He Jie.Hidden hero: Li Jian.Special invitation: Little Third Master.The rest, no matter how many scenes there are, are just extras ←←.

Li Jian and his wife Di Tang, just to commemorate my unfulfilled Li Chui.

In fact, Ajiu's life experience and experience can neither be regarded as sad nor happy.Whether it is Li Jian and Wang Zanghai who met in the previous life, or Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie who met in this life, it is Ajiu's luck to know them.

As for another important original character of this article: He Jie.After reading the last chapter, I'm afraid everyone knows who this hidden boss is, right?I set him as the person who burned the hidden tomb downstairs of Wu Sansheng. I hope Sansu and everyone will not blame him.Because I feel that the tomb will be burned down, so that only Wang Zanghai's descendants will keep the secret.As for who is buried in the tomb, I don't want to give an absolute answer.Whether He Jie's feelings towards Ah Jiu are good intentions or malice, in fact, I have to say, there are both.Getting close to Ajiu is just a cover, his real target is Bronze Gate and Zhang Qiling.He Jie was willing to help Ajiu enter the Zhangjialou not only to ask for Zhang's family tree, but also because he wanted Ajiu to find the headband, which was left to Ajiu by his ancestor Wang Zanghai.He Jie participated in the largest tomb robbery event in history. He found the hair ring in Zhang's tomb but didn't bring it out and hand it to Ajiu, because he didn't want to reveal his identity in front of Ajiu.The Zhang family and Wang Zanghai are in a hostile relationship. He Jie didn't believe that Ajiu would keep his background in front of Zhang Qiling, but in the end Ajiu guessed it.

As for why you asked him why his surname is not 'Wang', please refer to Zanghaihua for details, which mentions why Wang Zanghai's descendants changed their surnames.

Well, I admit that a lot of foreshadowing in this article was useless in the end, and the ending was very hasty. I can feel that I am making a little progress after writing 20 words. But there are various loopholes and flaws. I also hope that my future writing can gradually climb to a better level.

Total downloads: 54, total hits: 74680, total book reviews: 856, current favorites: 573, article points: 15,535,224... Every time I see these data, I feel so happy that I faint.I never thought that so many people would like this article (it is incomparable with other big articles, but this is a breakthrough for me), which is also an important pillar for me to insist on finishing this article.

I don't know what to say to you other than thank you.

About customization.The editor told me that a copy could be printed, and I just wanted to print it out to give myself a result and an explanation.I didn't expect to mention it casually in the article, but there is a relative who wants it, so I am so happy. 'Bottle Ajiu XX asked' will be included in the book as a side story!

Finally, love you, wherever you are in the world.
