Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 25
I'm not a soft persimmon. If I leave this matter with someone else, I might be blackmailed by him, but I have never been a person who is afraid of things, and I curse this kind of thing. Believe it or not, I don't believe in a dead A woman with such a broken mask can have such a great ability.There must be some kind of power in this that we don't know.

So I said: "Second Master Zhao, you misunderstood me when you said this. I hate others to threaten me the most in my life. You should hand over your things obediently, or..."

The man surnamed Zhao sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and was determined to see me. He suddenly saw that I was agitated and was a little taken aback. He probably didn't expect me to be a master who didn't play cards according to common sense, so he asked: "What else?" ?”

I said: "There are only three of us in this room, otherwise I will let you walk in and go out sideways."

The one surnamed Zhao sneered, and said, "The bastard bastard is getting more and more courageous now, do you think you can get out of here if you touch me?"

Tofu spread his hands, looked at Second Master Zhao as if he was looking at an idiot, and said, "Second Master, you are wrong. If someone else really dare not touch you, but Chen Xuan is different, he is a pervert. Do you know what a pervert is? A pervert is..."

It’s okay if this kid doesn’t open his mouth. Once he opens his mouth, he will be able to make one Buddha born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. I kicked him and said, “If you don’t talk, no one will think you are dumb. You peeled the skin and put it in a pickle jar to pickle it."

Tofu pursed his lips, shrugged his head, and muttered, "See, this is a pervert. I'm such a big person, how big a kimchi jar do I need to use?"

The person surnamed Zhao was confused by the endless chatter between us, so he quickly turned back to the topic and said, "Although we haven't been together for a long time, I can tell that Xiao Chen, you are not a shy person." people."

I knew it was not good to be stiff, so I got off the donkey along the slope, and said slowly: "If I were timid and afraid, I would have starved to death 800 years ago. My father gave you something, it must be to entrust you You handed it over to my family. You have kept it private for so many years, and you still want to blackmail me? Let me tell you the truth, curse these things, I don’t believe it, if it dares to come, I have a way to deal with it. If you don’t make it clear today, you Don't go out of this door too, just have fun with our brothers."

What nonsense has Mr. Zhao not done?But the more people like this, the more afraid of death, he glanced at me and said: "The little brother next to you said you are a pervert, now I believe it."

He didn't say anything for a long time, his eyes looked at me and Tofu, and after a while, he finally took a step back and said, "I can give you things, but if you want to help me, you might as well continue to listen, because this story It's not over."

Chen Ci asked Erye Zhao to transfer the things to my grandfather Chen Siyuan, and in exchange, he told him how to enter the front half of King Juer's tomb.Zhao Erye was about the same age as my father Chen Ci at that time.Seeing the statement, he died, and led his men into the tomb of King Juer. As for the curses and entrustments, they had already been left behind.

This trip to King Juer's tomb, Zhao Erye also failed.Strictly speaking, it seems that Bai Laosi was the only one who finally entered the central area of ​​the king's tomb. No one knows what is there.

However, during this trip, Zhao Erye failed to enter the center of King Juer's tomb, but he found information about another large tomb in a tomb room.This large tomb is the tomb of 'Ghost King Yulong'.

It is recorded on a mural on a stone wall. Unfortunately, Bai Laosi who once entered here may be Chen Siyuan or Chen Ci. I don’t know which one destroyed the mural, so only one can be seen. A small half of the content, but only this small half of the content is already thrilling.

The tomb of King Juer seems to be inextricably linked with the tomb of Concubine Wan Yao in the Ming Dynasty, and this tomb actually contains information about another tomb.

What's the matter with all this?

What is the inevitable connection between the ghost king meeting the dragon, the face of the ghost, and the concubine Wan Yao?

I have to admit that old man Zhao's wishful thinking is very loud, and now, even if I don't want to help, I have to get involved, so I said: "Then tell me, why did you find me?"

"Coincidence." Mr. Zhao said: "This is called meeting thousands of miles away. If I'm not wrong, your luck this year has begun to decline, and your personality has changed drastically in the past two years. Am I right? Curse this Things, whether you believe it or not, I won't force you, you can think about it yourself, I don't ask for anything else this time, I just ask you to take my people to the tomb of the ghost king Yulong for me. trip."

After he finished speaking, Doufu and I looked at each other in blank dismay. Tofu looked a little strange, as if he wanted to say something, but he glanced at Mr. Zhao and closed his mouth again, as if hesitating to speak.

Old man Zhao is an old man, he laughed when he saw this, and said with his hands behind his back that he would go out to relieve himself, and let Tofu and I discuss it slowly.

As soon as the old man Zhao left, Tofu said, "Pervert Chen, what do you think about the matter of cursing?"

I said: "How many times have I said it, remove the word pervert. I don't believe the curse, what kind of luck decline, he must have heard Mr. Hu talking nonsense about cats, so the words were mixed with water, leading us Take the bait. You pig brain, when will you be smarter."

Tofu glanced at me, still hesitating to speak, then he took out a cigarette and lit it, and looked around.This is his habitual action. When he is nervous or wants to talk about something important, he always likes to look around. According to psychological research, most of these people are timid and insecure.

I know Tofu very well. He is a man who talks sideways and is unreliable in his work, but he is definitely a trustworthy brother.Such a serious expression is relatively rare in my images, so this time I didn't hurt him, and quietly waited for him to speak.

Sure enough, Tofu took a puff of cigarette and said, "Old Chen, you may not like to hear what I say next. In fact, I wanted to tell you these words a long time ago, but I never had the chance. Today, my surname happens to be Zhao. If the old man mentions it, then I will say it straight.”

After a pause, Tofu said: "He said that the curse of that mask can affect a person's luck and temperament. Do you remember how we met?" I couldn't help being silent for a moment, then nodded, and said : "I will remember it all my life."

At that time, my grandfather disappeared, and I ate up all the food at home, so I had to go out with the people in the village to work on the construction site.

There is a school not far from the construction site. Children of my age, when school is over, are all happy and rush out with schoolbags on their backs, while I carry reinforced concrete on the construction site.

I loved studying since I was a child, so I was very envious. Whenever I had free time, I liked to hang around the school.The reason why I knew Tofu was because he was rich at that time, but his parents were well-educated, and he didn’t have the temper of a rich young master. Instead, he was always blackmailed by some gangsters around him. I happened to meet him when I was off the construction site. The bastard beat him up and ran away.

At that time, there were many people on the other side. Although I helped Tofu, I was beaten to the point of bleeding.Fortunately, I had a lot of tofu money, and the pocket money in my pocket was worth half a month's salary, so I was sent to the hospital for bandages.We became friends after we went there, and later I would share half of what tofu had to eat and play. He was my first friend in this city, and he still is until now.

After I nodded, Doufu said: "I still remember that you are a man of integrity and righteousness. Once, an old woman lost more than 1000 yuan. At that time, you needed the money very much, but you waited there for two days. After more than an hour, I returned the money to the man."

I was a little bit guilty, I didn't understand why Tofu would revisit these old things, so I said: "What are you trying to say, don't you usually focus on hurting me? Why did you suddenly put a high hat on me today? Let’s just say it straight, don’t use this trick, I’m going to blackmail others, but don’t worry, I will never hit you. No matter how ugly you say it, it’s not like your personality to beat around the bush like this.”

Tofu breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Since you said that, then I'll just say it straight, but you can't beat me up. If you beat me up, I'll take off my clothes and jump down from here, saying you're a pervert. Dissect me."

I said: "Don't worry, my fists are only aimed at the enemy, not at my comrades in arms. Besides, if you jump from here, you must vomit blood from your mouth and you won't be able to say a word."

Tofu glanced at me, stubbed out his cigarette, and said, "We've known each other for ten years. I'm not very promising or ambitious. But you are different. I watched you walk all the way. I just met you. At that time, you were very upright, kind, virtuous, respecting the old and caring for the young, and having noble morals..."

I said: "Stop it, stop it, skip this part of the praise, and continue to talk about it later."

Tofu changed his voice and said, "But later on, you became more and more... How should I put it, do you know the villains in TV? Now you are developing in the direction of villains. Whether it is work or other aspects , Sometimes people feel very cold-blooded, and the attack is very dark. This time you suddenly suggested to me that you want to dig mushrooms to make a fortune. Don't die. Actually, I wanted to persuade you a long time ago, but..."
