Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 171 Tiger Knife Mountain

As soon as Li Yu mentioned the ghost, coupled with the scene in front of him, everyone couldn't help but speculate. Could it be that the ghost in the sea that has been passed down through the ages really has something?

I don't believe it, even if it is a witch, why did it only kill the three Fusang people and not us?There's something quirky about it, obviously not as obvious as we make it out to be.Gu Wenmin saw that I had been silent, and asked, "Do you think it's a ghost too?"

I said: "I believe that there may be ghosts in this world, but I don't think this incident was done by ghosts."

Carp was taken aback, then understood, and said, "Do you think it was done by humans? But among us, who would do such a thing? Besides, the assailant obviously returned to the water in the end, and there were only one of us." Not many, one less."

I thought the same thing as the carp before, but when I looked at the footprints of those bare feet going back and forth, I suddenly thought of another possibility.Our previous speculations all thought that the attackers were people who came out of the sea, then walked ashore, killed three Fusang people, and then returned to the water afterwards.

But is there such a possibility.

The assailant was actually among us. He killed three people first, then went to the beach to wash the blood, and finally walked back, pretending to sleep as if nothing had happened?I told everyone what I thought, and the group was stunned for a moment. Duan Fei said, "But I only have 15 minutes to bite people to death and wash the blood. Is there enough time?"

Carp continued and said: "Besides, we have been getting along day and night these days. Among us, there are not such perverted people. Even if you really hate them, if you want to get rid of them quickly, you can use a dagger or other weapons. Use your teeth To bite, it's disgusting, only a psychopath would do that."

When Tofu heard about being abnormal, he slapped his forehead, looked at me, and said, "Old Chen, did you do this? It's okay to say it, anyway, those three people are not good guys, we won't Speak up." I was thinking about the way to do it, when Tofu said that, I was almost pissed off, and I couldn't help kicking him, scolding him for not being able to spit ivory out of his dog's mouth.

As soon as I came up with this idea, Duan Fei and Li Yu questioned it, and the question they raised was precisely the crux of the matter.If the assailant was from our team, why did he do it?How did the attackers do so much in 15 minutes?Then I heard Gu Wenmin say: "If your idea is correct, then when the attacker went to the beach to wash the blood, the clothes on his body would be more or less stained with sea water, just check the clothes."

We are standing by the sea right now, the snow-white waves rushing ashore, splashing countless water splashes, everyone's trouser legs are already wet, and water stains are scattered here and there on our bodies, we can't tell the difference.For a moment, we were helpless, and we were even uneasy, one was because of the three people who died tragically, and the other was that we felt horrified at the thought that there might be such a pervert hidden in the team.I can't help but wonder, could it be that person who cut the ship's rope?

At this time, the eccentric Duan Fei suddenly gave a pause and said, "I have an idea! Let's take off our shoes and match the footprints. Whoever's footprints match will be the attacker." Since the murderer may be our teammate, Therefore, the little girl spoke more politely, only calling her the attacker, and did not directly refer to the murderer.This idea was unanimously agreed, and everyone took off their shoes and socks, and stepped on the footprints for comparison.

These are obviously a pair of men's feet, and the three women stepped on them, looking very petite.Everyone looked at the footprints, either too big or too small, either wide in the front or narrow in the back. In the end, only me was left. Who knew that when I put my feet on the top, I couldn't help but feel a sudden bump in my heart... Not too big or too small ,just.

Everyone's eyes focused on my feet, and for a while, only the sound of waves and wind could be heard, and they were all speechless.Tofu was the first to realize that he had asked me to confess my guilt earlier, but now it was at a critical moment, and he was the first to speak, saying, "It can't be Lao Chen, it's a coincidence!"

The rest of the people had different expressions, probably because I performed well on weekdays, and I didn't have any panic emotions, but looked puzzled, and obviously couldn't understand how my footprints overlapped.

At this time, Wu Sidong, who had always been at odds with me, said, "Why do you want to kill them?"

Tofu said angrily, "I told you, he didn't do it."

Wu Sidong looked at Tofu, curled his lips contemptuously, and said, "Do you have evidence to prove it?" Tofu was speechless for a while, and finally acted arrogantly, saying, "First, I don't believe that Lao Chen did it; Second, even if he did it, so what? Do you still want to kill someone? Then compete with me first. "

Ah Ying looked anxious, and advised us not to be so tense and talk about things, but at this moment, Gu Wenmin presented a strong evidence. Fortunately, she spoke, otherwise I would not be able to clear up if I really jumped into the Yellow River.She knelt down, looked at the row of footprints, then shook her head and said, "No, look around the footprints. One side of the footprint is high and the other side is low, which means that when the person walked, his lower body was a little unstable and wobbly. Therefore, the center of gravity is unified to the right, resulting in a larger footprint. The real attacker's feet should be slightly smaller than this footprint." When everyone saw it, it was indeed the case.Tofu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Sidong's expression turned ugly for a moment.

According to Wenmin’s inference and the previous comparison, there are four people who are slightly smaller than this footprint, namely Professor Lin, Robot No. [-], Tofu, and Carp. There are a total of eight men in our team. After that, half of the people were suspected, but how could these four be the attackers?
Could it be that I was overthinking before?Maybe the truth is just like what the carp said, that the hag in the sea came ashore to claim her life?

Although there are suspects, everything is blurry. You can't tie these four together just because they are suspects, right?It's just that I don't mind the death of those three people. What I really think is wrong is the murder method of the attacker. No matter how you look at it, it is abnormal. If it is a person with potential mental or mental illness, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be killed next time. Will not start with their own people.

Everyone had no choice but to put this matter aside temporarily. At this moment, the sun had completely jumped out of the sea, and the time and space island ushered in daytime.The sea breeze is relatively light today, and the fog on the sea surface is very thick, and the entire Time and Space Island is also shrouded in fog.Turning around and looking back, I saw that the three mountain peaks of different sizes were shrouded in mist, the clouds covered the fog, and the white seabirds appeared and disappeared from time to time, like a fairyland on earth.

Could it be that the fairy mountain on the sea that Xu Fu went to sea to search for was here?
After watching for a while, Robot No. [-] said: "Those three people are still there. It would be bad if their accomplices see them. Let's deal with the corpses first." We returned to the campsite and dug three large pits nearby. , put the three people who died tragically into the pit, filled it with sand and buried it. After everything was ready, everyone packed up their equipment and prepared to climb the mountain.It was supposed to have some breakfast prepared last night, but this happened just now, and three more corpses were disposed of, and everyone lost their appetites, and no one could eat it.

Time-space island is luxuriant in vegetation, with coconut trees, plantains, jurong, casuarinas, and various shrubs and wild plants growing there. The hot sun on the sea is shaded, the forest is relatively cool, and the ground is covered with sea sand. The soil is softer.As we walked forward, the terrain gradually rose and began to spread to the mountain peaks. It took us most of the day to climb to the highest point of the island and overlook the terrain.

According to Qinmuling and Hanmupo, Xu Fu's tomb will not be on the top of the mountain, but should be on the mountain.I stood on a high place and looked around, recalling some of the contents of Yang Fang's secret book in my heart. I saw that the gullies on both sides were wide open, with no shelter from the wind in front and no water in the back. It didn't look like a burial place.If Xu Fu really built a mausoleum here, where would he choose the site?
At that time, Xu Fu's abilities were limited, so the mausoleum must not be too big. At this time, the island was in front of a crescent-shaped coast, and behind it was an extended crescent back, forming a large lush virgin forest.Everyone waited for a while, and seeing that I hadn't spoken, Wu Sidong said, "Are you really good at it?"

To be honest, I'm really not good at it. With that superficial knowledge, I can't see the way at all, but if I admit it, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?So I ignored Wu Sidong, with a blank face, and observed slowly. Outsiders probably thought I had a plan in mind, but in fact, I was always recalling the contents of the cheat book in my heart.

Qin Tomb Ridge, Han Tomb Slope, Xu Fu's tomb must be in one of the three mountains.These three mountains are like knives and halberds, with a strong murderous spirit, and they are not suitable for burying people. In the Wangzi Jue of Wang Wen Wen Qi, they are also called "Tiger Knife Mountain".I looked at it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. Although I didn't show any emotion on my face, I was already secretly complaining in my heart, wondering if it's hard to give up like this?Why don't you let that kid Wu Sidong see the joke for nothing?While pondering, I suddenly remembered something.

Watching the wind and watching the water pays attention to seeing through the situation at a glance. I am in a high place, although I can see everything in a low place, but it is difficult to see the main peak where I am.I thought that since Xu Fu was a famous alchemist in the Qin Dynasty, if he was really buried here, he would definitely not be buried indiscriminately. Since he would find such a place that is not suitable for burial, there must be a reason for the incident, maybe there was something wrong at that time, and he had to do it for him. Of.

But in Wangzi Jue, there is someone article, which says the thaumaturgy of changing Fengshui. Will Xu Fu make any changes to the Fengshui here?It might not be easy to change this place of the tiger sword into Jixue.

This place of the tiger sword just lacks a guard, that is, the back mountain. If there is a back mountain rising from the ground, it can form a three-mountain guard, and the main peak we are on is like sitting on a dragon chair. And facing the sea, fully accept the spirit of the sea dragon.The most rare thing is that this peak is the highest among the three mountains.There is a saying that the big mountain gathers spiritual energy, and the small mountain produces ghosts. In this way, this mountain will be changed from "Tiger Knife Mountain" to "Wanghailong". It's a pity that this place lacks a back mountain.
