Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 450 Ghost City

The ghost market has a long history in the folk, and it also appeared in the ghost novels of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that on a specific day, dead ghosts appear collectively, forming a market between ghosts and ghosts, and a ghost market appears. A place often means that many people died there.

According to legend, if a living person accidentally enters a ghost market, he must abide by three rules, first: do not make a sound; Inseparable; Third: You can't stare into the eyes of ghosts, otherwise they will find you are alive.

At this time, in front of Tofu is a gloomy ghost market. The ghostly green lights illuminate the faces of those ghosts, not to mention how terrifying it is.But at this time, the corpse fairy didn't stop at all, and walked straight into the ghost market.

Tofu subconsciously wanted to stop it, but he only opened his mouth and remembered the taboo about the ghost market, so he didn't dare to make a sound. He just stayed there anxious and scared, and secretly scolded the corpse fairy for being too greedy. There are so many soft rice dumplings in the place, what if the corpse fairy steals the chicken and loses the rice?
The tofu is struggling, but the corpse fairy doesn't stop at all, stepping into the ghost market, it's like strolling in a garden, without any intention of eating, it seems that it is really just passing by.This ghost market is very 'lively', very long, and bustling with people. Seeing that the figure of the corpse fairy is about to disappear, Tofu becomes anxious, thinking that this place does not know the way, and there is another ghost market ahead. If the immortal is lost, then it must not be frightened to death.

Speaking of which, I have to say that people are such a strange thing. In fact, in many cases, things that look ugly and scary are not necessarily dangerous, while things that look beautiful are not necessarily safe.Tofu is alone now, subconsciously relying on Shixian, but he forgot that Shixian is actually a super big rice dumpling, but it doesn't look so scary on the outside.

Seeing that the corpse fairy was about to disappear, Tofu looked anxiously at the dark woods around him, and finally he could only grit his teeth, lower his head, and only look at the part of the chin of those soft rice dumplings, which was not atmospheric. Dare to pant, and hurriedly chase after the corpse fairy.

At this moment, he is still carrying Ouyang Xuan on his back, and he has been carrying Ouyang Xuan for a long time, and he is already exhausted. Can use some rough methods to wake her up.Guessing that Tofu has also figured it out, knowing the gap between himself and Ouyang Xuan, so he completely gave up, and No.20 Bachun is sold out.

The corpse fairy didn't walk fast, so Tofu caught up with him within a few strokes. As soon as he got next to the corpse fairy, Tofu felt a sense of security, heaved a sigh of relief, and followed the corpse fairy forward.Now that he had a backing, he became more courageous. While thinking about why the corpse fairy didn't eat these soft rice dumplings, he secretly looked at the situation in the ghost market.The faces of these soft zongzi are very vague, but it can be vaguely seen that they have high noses and deep eyes, wide faces and wide mouths, which have the features of Mongolians. As for the clothes they wear, they seem to be wrapped in cloth. The special clothes worn at the time.

The ghost market was very quiet, with a gloomy wind blowing from time to time. Tofu looked at it for a while, afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to look more. He just concentrated on following the corpse fairy. Looking far away, he didn't know how long the ghost market was.

At this moment, in one of the locations of the ghost city, Tofu suddenly found a building.

This building seemed to have appeared suddenly, and it looked eerie in the miserable green light. Most of the parts were shrouded in darkness, and it was impossible to tell how big it was. Only an open stone door could be seen, and the door was open. There are 'people' coming and going.

Tofu has a rich imagination, thinking that this ghost is coming in and out, could it be the gate of ghosts?Could it be that this door leads to the underworld?He couldn't help but take a second look, and saw that there were many strange animal patterns carved on the door, the lines were as bright red as blood, very eye-catching, and there was something squatting directly above the door.

Tofu looked at it carefully, and couldn't help being shocked, thinking: Isn't this the Humuduo engraved on the Shenmu square ear plate?How did it appear on the door?Could it be that this is not the gate of hell, but...

Before Doufu could think about it, suddenly, he felt the person on his body move, and then Ouyang Xuan's voice sounded next to his ears: "Where is this place..."

Tofu froze, turned his head, stared at Ouyang Xuan's hazy gaze, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.At this time, the 'people' coming and going in the ghost market and the 'people' who set up stalls stopped their movements at this moment, and then they raised their heads, and their blurred faces turned towards the tofu and the tofu. people on their backs.

And Ouyang Xuan also woke up at this time, saw the situation in front of her clearly, and suddenly burst into a scream.

"Ah!" Tofu covered her mouth, put her down abruptly, and pushed her in front of the corpse fairy.I don't know what happened next. For a moment, there was a strong wind, there was a sound of crying and howling, and countless twisted ghost shadows rushed towards him.

At that moment, Tofu had no way to resist. He squatted on the ground suddenly, closed his eyes, held his head in his hands, and trembled all over.

After shaking for a long time, but did not see any other feeling, finally Tofu couldn't help but opened his eyes.

There is no ghost market around, only a forest, the only difference is that the forest is not so dark.Tofu looked at the watch on his wrist: five o'clock in the morning...it was the time when the sun was rising and dawn was breaking.

Perhaps it was because of the dawn, at that moment, the ghost market disappeared.

Tofu sat slumped on the ground, her legs were shaking all the time, while Ouyang Xuan guessed that she saw a group of ghosts jumping at Tofu, she couldn't bear it, and she fainted from fright again.Tofu shook on the spot for a long time, then took a deep breath, got up from the ground, without saying a word, grabbed the corpse fairy's face with both hands, and scolded the corpse fairy bloodyly: "You bastard turtle, you don't know what to do!" Eating, why break into the ghost market? Huh? Is it fun? If you don’t fight for three days, you’ll go to the house to expose the tiles. If you don’t fight today, you’ll have a smile on your face, and you don’t know why the flowers are so red!” said The end is punching and kicking.

What is the corpse fairy?After beating the tofu, she hugged her hand and screamed, finally realized that she was no match for Shixian, so she carried Ouyang Xuan on her back to find the way.He climbed up a tree, stood on a high place to judge the general direction, and then found the right direction and ran back.During this process, Tofu suddenly discovered something not far away.

That thing was a big rock.

You know, in such a desert terrain, it is very difficult to have such a big rock.

Some parts of the big rock were buried under the sand, and the exposed area was yellow. Obviously, it had been exposed to wind and rain for a long time, and the surface was mottled. Tofu felt strange. How could there be stones in this place?So he leaned up to have a look, and suddenly saw that this big rock was arched, a bit like a C, and the interior may have been less exposed to wind and rain, so some traces could be seen vaguely, and some carvings were carved on it. The strange shape of the animal text reminds Tofu of the "Ghost Gate" that he saw not long ago.

Hearing this, Zhang Wen interrupted Tofu and said, "Where this ghost city appears, there must be a large number of dead people. The remaining big rock is probably the building you saw in the ghost city."

Tofu said: "No, I thought so too, and there was a Huduo squatting on that building. I thought it was probably what Zhuanrui was looking for, so I rushed back without stopping." Er said, while waving to the silent Zhuan Rui, he said, "Don't thank me too much, please call me Red Scarf."

Zhuan Rui raised his eyebrows, this time he didn't ignore the tofu intentionally, and with a slight hook of the corner of his mouth, he said, "This time I will credit you."

Zhong Gong said in a low voice: "Master, it seems that we have to go to that place to have a look."

I said: "Finally there are clues, we must go, but we have to let the injury slow down first." Tofu tossed all night and was very tired, but because we were seriously injured this time and had limited mobility, Tofu held on We set up the half-pitched tent, moved our new camp a little further away from the pile of dead yellow tigers, divided up the medicine and food, and then retreated into the tent to sleep.

Zhong Gong said with a smile: "I can't tell. He is usually lazy and slippery. It seems that he can't do this, and he can't do that. I didn't expect this time to be quite good." I smiled and said nothing.In fact, it’s not that you can’t do tofu. His philosophy is that those who can do more work.If you know everything, then you must be a hard worker. To put it bluntly, he is just being lazy.

Now, except for him, we are all injured, and he can't do it even if he wants to be lazy. Although his movements are slow and messy, fortunately, he has settled us injured.In this way, everyone recuperated in place for a few days. During this period, in order to prevent any danger, Tofu kept patrolling around with a gun on his shoulder.

Ouyang Xuan was not so excited anymore, but she covered her face with a windproof scarf, probably because she didn't want Zhuan Rui to see her appearance.Zhuan Rui comforted her a few words, and said a few words that were neither salty nor light, such as that she would not dislike her appearance, which moved Ouyang Xuan to tears.

Tofu also woke up from this unreliable relationship. He occasionally looked at Ouyang Xuan, and just muttered silently: "What's so good about a yin and yang face? Why don't you care about your appearance? It's deceiving when you hear it, silly girl, why not?" Just believe it. Old Chen, I just realized now that women are fools."

I nodded and said, "Yes, they know they have been cheated, but they still fight for the one percent possibility. Why, do you want to wake her up?"

Tofu shook his head and said, "Stop talking sarcastic words, I've already figured it out, No. 20 Eight Springs, the past is the past, I believe, my real wife is still waiting for me in the future, I want to let Make yourself stronger and protect her in the future!"

I laughed secretly in my heart, and didn't hurt his self-confidence. I closed my eyes and rested for four days. Our wounds were scabbed, and our actions were fine. According to the plan, we will go to investigate the place where the ghost city appeared tomorrow.I don't know how Zhuanrui treats others, but at least he treats me with the utmost benevolence and righteousness. I can only hope that tomorrow will be rewarding, and I can solve Huyuduo's matter for him earlier, so as to avoid pain.
