Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 601 Shadow
It was egg-shaped, but tall enough to be human. It looked like some kind of jade. It was milky white, and under the light, it reflected a hazy luster.

Is this the so-called treasure?

I was wondering, Tofu suddenly blurted out, "I know this thing."

His words made Lu Su's eyes light up, and he immediately asked, "What is this?"

Tofu didn't pay attention for a moment, slipped his tongue in front of Lu Su, punched himself on the head very annoyed, and said reluctantly: "This thing was dug out from a place when Mu Mu was traveling... It can..." Tofu stared at the jade in front of him, showing a thoughtful look, as if recalling something, looking a little distressed.

Lu Su stared at him closely, waiting for his next words.

Tofu frowned and thought about it, and talked about it for a long time, and finally spread his hands, saying that he couldn't remember.The curvature of Lu Su's mouth became a little cold, and he said lightly, "Don't play tricks."

Tofu didn't seem to think of anything, and said angrily, "What tricks can I play now." Then, he stared at the stone and said, "Arguing and fighting, it turns out that it is such a broken stone, what's the use?" As he spoke, he kicked directly.This kick startled us a lot, what is this place?How dare you mess around like this!

But fortunately, when Tofu kicked it up, there was no movement around it.

While I breathed a sigh of relief, I also felt strange that this stone was placed here, what is the mystery behind it?Did Tofu really not remember it just now, or did he deliberately refuse to mention it?
Could it be that this stone is the treasure that the mute was referring to?

I was thinking in my heart, but Lu Su was dissatisfied. He suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged the thing in front of him, and exerted force. It seemed that he wanted to move it.Not to mention me, even Feng Guishou was taken aback and said, "Master Lu? Are you planning to transport this thing out?"

Lu Su hugged it, but the thing didn't move at all. He gave up and let go, frowning.From the looks of it, this rock doesn't seem to be in any danger.I couldn't help but tried to hug it too, only to feel that the tentacles were cold and very comfortable to the touch.

Just after hugging, Tofu suddenly let out a snort, and said, "Old Chen, don't you have a gunshot wound on your shoulder? How can you still use your strength?" Tofu's words made me stunned, I turned my head to look at my shoulder, Only then did I realize that the injury that was painful before was no longer felt.

Is it...

An idea came to my mind, and I immediately removed the outer bandage.

Sure enough, the wound on my shoulder has completely healed, and even the old wound on my body disappeared in this instant, even the scars.Lu Su stared at my shoulder, and I could clearly see the flash of excitement in his eyes. He has always been quiet and invisible, but this time, he obviously lost his composure.

Then I heard Lu Su say: "It seems that this is the thing. It is recorded in the silk script that it is used to make the magic lamp."

He suddenly mentioned the magic lamp, and Tofu and I couldn't help but be surprised. The lamp with magical power is made of this thing?It seems that the content recorded in the silk book is more than I imagined.

When I thought that the silk book was produced by Chen Ci with great pains, but in the end it fell into the hands of others again and again, I felt a little aggrieved in my heart.At this time, Tofu did not hide his astonishment, and said in amazement: "This thing makes a magic lamp? Then this is the key you are looking for?"

Lu Su didn't hide anything at this time, saying: "Just having it is not enough."

Tofu said, "Then what else do you need?"

Lu Su smiled slightly, looked at Tofu kindly, and said, "No one knows better than you what else is needed." The voice did not match his gentle look at all.Tofu was a little annoyed when asked, and said angrily: "I know what a fart, it's none of my business."

But I understood what Lu Su meant, and said, "You mean, this thing is the key to the key, but the method of using it is only known by the corpse fairy?"

Lu Su nodded slightly, staring at Tofu with a half-smile, and said: "Puzhen is just a barbarian from Yunnan, who knows a little about the art of building tombs. Haven't you ever thought about why he was able to make a magic lamp in the end?" , and even acquire a unique skill, play tricks?"

I was taken aback, thought for a while, and said: "It is said that when Puzhen traveled around the world when he was young, he had an adventure. Since then, he has acquired a whole body of skills." I suddenly understood that when Lu Su passed the materials to me, This matter was mentioned before, but not much was said. Now it seems that there is obviously a relevant record in the silk script.

Tofu said just now that this jade was dug out by Puzhen from a certain place. Presumably the origin of this jade must be related to Puzhen's experience. Things.

And if Lu Su wants to use this strange jade to achieve his own goals, I am afraid that it is not enough to have it alone, and he must have a specific method.

This method is obviously only known by the corpse fairy.

Under Lu Su's strange gaze, Tofu shrank his neck in fear, and muttered, "What are you looking at? If you look at it again, you will be charged."

Lu Su smiled and said, "Think about it carefully, or tell me, where did you dig this thing out?"

Tofu said aggrievedly: "I am me, and the corpse fairy is the corpse fairy. You ask me, how do I know. Besides, it's been more than 1000 years. Who knows where this thing was dug out from." Pause , Doufu didn't know whether it was intentional or not, so he changed the subject and said: "It seems that this piece of jade itself has some strange powers, Lao Chen, tell me, is it also the reason for the dumb thing? Could it be, It can turn one person into two? How come I don't see anything wrong with the shadow?"

As he said that, he began to observe his own shadows projected on the walls and the ground. Due to the special material, our shadows are projected around, which looks gross, similar to the images of human shadows projected on matte metal materials. Even the facial features of people are different. Can't see clearly, everyone's shadows seem to be exactly the same.

The tofu turned around, and the shadows on the wall and on the ground followed suit. Unlike the demon mirror, the size and shape of the shadows didn't change, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

Tofu finally scratched his head and cast a puzzled look at me, obviously asking: Is the dumb fooling us?I glared at him and said nothing.When a person is about to die, his words are also kind, and Wu Shui is not crazy, how could he still play with us when he is dying.

Seeing Tofu's movements, Lu Su seemed to know what he was doing, smiled and said, "Have you heard of the legend of Shouzhi Stone?"

Shouzhi stone is a kind of brownish-yellow stone with cloud patterns. It is said that if you keep it at home and water it every day, for a long time, meat mushrooms will grow on the stone. Taking it can make you live longer, so it has this name.It is often mentioned in folk ghost novels.

Tofu also knew this legend, and said: "It is said that the reason why Shouzhi Stone can grow meat cheese is because this thing is not a stone, but a kind of worm, just like coral. This stone is kept at home, and when people are quiet at night, When the moon is high, they will disperse and look for prey everywhere. After a long time, the feces excreted become what people call Shouzhi. But what is the relationship between this Shouzhi stone and the thing in front of me? Could it be Insects changed?"

Lu Su shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't know if it's a bug or not. I only know that it's recorded in the data that this thing can 'take shadows into spirits', just like the demon mirror, which cannot see light."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but be shocked, because I know the saying about appreciating shadows and becoming spirits.There is a folk saying: if the mirror is not on the head of the bed, there are no more than seven objects.In old furniture, mirrors are often embedded in large ornaments such as wardrobes, which is convenient for people to try on clothes.The wardrobe is a large decoration and generally rarely moves, so the mirror always faces the same direction.

In this way, the items reflected in the mirror are always the same.

In this case, the most taboo thing is to face the head in the mirror.Because in that way, when sleeping, the head will always be in the mirror, every night like this, the shadow will stay in the mirror, it is said that after a long time, the shadow inside will have spirituality; similarly, if there is a dressing table opposite the mirror A kind of thing that does not move all year round is more prone to accidents when it faces a mirror day and night.Therefore, there is a saying that the position of furniture decorations must be changed once in seven years.

If the piece of jade in front of me has the so-called effect of turning a shadow into a soul, then wouldn't it be the shadows of us?Did Lu Su mention the Rouzhi just now, could it be that this stone can give birth to a flesh with the help of a human figure?
As if to verify Lu Su's statement, everyone turned their eyes and suddenly found that four black shadows appeared indistinctly among the jade in front of them, and they were four human-shaped shadows.

Tofu was so startled that he almost jumped up and said, "No, can't it? Is it possible that they, they will come out as living people? That's how dumb people come from?"

If this was put two years ago, I would definitely think that this is nonsense, but in the past two years, I have experienced too many things that ordinary people can't imagine, so when I saw this jade, four things suddenly appeared. When taking pictures, for a split second, my first reaction was to not let them out!
Tofu scolded Lu Su angrily: "Damn it, you know that, and you still lit the lighter, turned it off, it's about to turn it off."

Lu Su didn't seem to be worried, but said: "This thing, like the meat mushroom grown on the stone, looks like flesh and blood, but it's actually just a pile of dross. Wu Shui, he's just a shadow, like the meat mushroom The same, with the illusion of flesh and blood, unfortunately, he has been refusing to admit it." Lu Su smiled, with contempt in his expression.

Tofu said angrily: "Everyone is dead, you still say that, you should accumulate some morals! Wu Shui is not a shadow, it is not the same as the meat cheese formed by the stool! For me, he has saved many times. The man I ordered! He is a real man who bleeds but does not shed tears!"
