Tomb Raider: Invincible Double Pupil, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 127 Ghost Seal, Seven Star Suspected Coffin

Wu Sanxing was the first to notice that something was wrong with Wu Xie.

"Wu Xie, what's wrong with you?!"

"Uncle San, it smiled at me again!"

Wu Xie pointed at the puppet.

Wu Sansheng walked over, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and took the puppet down from the stone pillar.

Then he carefully examined the puppet in his hand, not missing any detail.

Finally, he even took out a knife and scratched the puppet, digging out a large piece of sawdust.

"how come?!"

"These children are indeed carved from wood, and their clothes, shoes, and facial features are all painted with colorful paints."

“They’re puppets!”

At this time.

Zhang Qiling, who had always seemed to be a transparent person, suddenly said: "In fact, the function of these puppets should be to induce hallucinations and lead people into a fantasy world."

Wu Xie immediately asked back: "Then why aren't we affected at all?!"

"that is because……"

Zhang Qiling pointed to a stone pillar in the center of the tomb. The stone pillar was slightly larger, but it was empty and there was no puppet on it. If Zhang Qiling hadn't pointed it out, no one else would have noticed it.

"The core object that triggers the hallucinogenic effect has been taken away!"

"Well???"

Wu Xie looked at the empty stone pillar with a puzzled look.

"How do you know that the core object is placed there? How do you know that the item has been taken away? Maybe it was empty in the first place?!"

Zhang Qiling sighed slightly and did not answer him.

Pan Zi was obviously annoyed, and he came close to Wu Xie and whispered, "Master San, there are footprints on the floor tiles next to the stone pillar."

Wu Xie was stunned.

Then, the young face that still looked childish suddenly turned red.

Because he also noticed the floor tiles next to the stone pillar.

This tomb is very old and the floor has long been covered with a layer of dust. Unless one is very skilled at walking on snow without leaving any footprints, one will inevitably leave footprints if one walks on it.

It was as if there were countless footprints under their feet.

There is a row of footprints on the floor tiles next to the stone pillar.

Again, if you don’t look carefully, no one will notice.

"Someone came in before us?!"

Wu Xie screamed.

Wu Sansheng's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Could it be that someone has already reached this ancient tomb? !

Xu Feng walked to the stone pillar calmly, stared at the footprints on the ground for a while, and then said: "Don't worry, these footprints are very fresh, that person should have just left not long ago."

He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Could it be that guy?

"Could it be that group of people?!"

Wu Sanxing asked.

He was talking about the group of people who followed him on the way here.

Xu Feng shook his head: "It shouldn't be. Since that group of people followed us, it means they didn't know where the destination was. They definitely wouldn't get ahead of us, unless they directly dug a tunnel and got ahead of us."

"And there should be only one person like this guy!"

"one person?"

Wu Xie was surprised: "Xu Feng, are you saying that someone went down to the tomb alone and dug a tunnel ahead of us?!"

"Ok!"

Xu Feng said: "We have come all the way here, and none of the traps have been triggered. This means that this person is either a trap master who knows how to crack the traps or not to alarm them, or that person is not following the same path as us and has dug a hole directly in front of us."

Wu Sansheng had the illusion that someone had eaten his cabbages first.

He said bitterly, "Let's go! Let's catch up and see who it is that can get ahead of me, Wu Sanxing."

Several people followed the footprints and left the tomb.

Behind the tomb chamber is another tomb passage.

But the tomb passage is very short.

They walked a few steps, and suddenly, Pan Zi's flashlight shone towards the top of the tomb passage.

"Third Master, Little Master Xu, look!"

Wu Sansheng and Xu Feng looked up.

I saw a hole at the top of the tomb passage.

"Is it a robbery hole?!"

Wu Xie exclaimed.

"Damn it, someone really got ahead of us!"

Wu Sansheng said gritting his teeth.

Pan Zi stood on tiptoe, checked it, and said, "The tunnel is very new, it must have been dug not long ago."

"Let's chase!" Wu Sansheng said in a deep voice.

The five of them quickened their pace and continued forward.

Soon, they reached the end of the tomb passage, where there was a stone gate.

At this time, the stone door was half-open, and it was obvious that someone had already entered.

On both sides of the stone gate, there are two statues, which are two evil ghosts, covered in black.

One held a ghost claw in one hand.

One of them held a seal in his hand.

His eyes fell on the seal, and his heart suddenly moved.

Guixi!

Uh... of course, that doesn’t mean the seal held in the hand of this evil ghost statue is the ghost seal.

Rather, it represents the Ghost Seal.

It is said that the Ghost Seal can summon ghost soldiers, and King Lu Shang used the Ghost Seal to steal countless treasures from countless tombs.

His heart moved and his eyes fell on the ghost claw again.

"Anything that can be put together with the Ghost Seal should not be a vulgar thing, right?!"

"What is this ghost claw?"

Wu Sansheng just glanced at the evil ghost statues on both sides and ignored them, but hurriedly walked into the stone gate.

Xu Feng didn't think much about it, walked at the end, and followed into the stone gate.

Inside the stone gate is another tomb chamber.

But there are no more flame stone lanterns in this tomb.

They could only rely on the flashlights they had for lighting.

However, the walls of this tomb seemed to be made of a light-absorbing material, so even with a strong flashlight, it could only illuminate about three or four meters. Areas farther away were completely dark.

Even Xu Feng's night vision eyes could not see through the darkness.

He could only turn the flashlight and look around as best he could.

then……

He found seven coffins.

"Seven-star coffin?!"

"Have we reached the tomb of the Seven Stars Coffin so soon?!"

Xu Feng was secretly shocked.

He wasn't the only one who saw it.

Wu Sansheng and the others also saw it.

Wu Xie even said in surprise: "Why are there so many coffins?!"

For tomb robbers, coffins mean wealth, but also danger.

Especially the scene where seven coffins are placed together in a strange way.

Even a fool can see that this place is not simple.

So Wu Sanxing warned immediately: "There's something wrong with these coffins! Don't touch anything!"

Since he said so, others naturally wouldn't move.

Wu Sansheng walked cautiously to the coffins and carefully observed their positions and order.

"Look, there are seven coffins here."

"They are placed in a certain order and position, not in a random arrangement."

Wu Sanxing said.

After observing for a while, it seemed that nothing strange happened.

Wu Sansheng raised his foot and slowly walked towards the sarcophagus closest to the crowd.

Others also came over.

This sarcophagus was completely different from the one they had seen not long ago, and it was covered with inscriptions.
Wu Sanxing and Wu Xie were studying the inscriptions again.

Xu Feng glanced around calmly.

"Is that guy hiding nearby, just like in the original story?!"

He glanced around.

Because the light was too dim and Xu Feng didn't dare to search too aggressively, he didn't find any trace of that guy.

"Xu Feng! Take a look at this inscription, what does it mean?!"

Wu Sanxing suddenly shouted.

"Oh well."

Xu Feng agreed and moved closer.

After looking down for a while, he said, "The text above records the life of the owner of the sarcophagus, but strangely, it is not talking about King Mu of Zhou, but another guy named King Lu Shang."

"It is said that this King Lu Shang was originally a vassal of the State of Lu. He had a ghost seal that allowed him to borrow ghost soldiers from the underworld, so he was invincible in battle and was named King Lu Shang by the Duke of Lu."

"One day, he suddenly asked to see Duke Lu, saying that he had borrowed soldiers from the underworld for many years, and now there were little ghosts in the underworld rebelling, so he had to go back to the underworld to repay the favor of the Lord of the Underworld. He hoped that Duke Lu would allow him to return to the underworld to report. Duke Lu approved the request at that time, and King Lu Shang kowtowed and passed away."

"The Duke of Lu thought that he would come back, so he built a mausoleum like this for him to preserve his body, hoping that he would continue to serve him when he returned."
