Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 83 Fei Xian
Behind this stone gate is a straight passageway made of square bricks and stones. The tomb is extremely unlucky, and the light from the lamp head cannot be diffused. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a white-faced woman standing on the right hand side, and I was terrified immediately. Lightly, I thought it was the red-clothed ghost coming again.The woman was standing in front of me on the right, with a smile on her lips and a fat and white face, which looked very strange in the ancient tomb, but she was motionless.Taking a closer look, you can see that it is not the red-clothed female ghost before, but it turns out to be the mural on the passageway.

The two of us walked to the center of the tomb passage to check. It turned out that both sides of the tomb passage were covered with murals.The white-faced fat woman I saw before turned out to be a life-size female fairy wearing a crown, wearing a rosy robe, and standing on auspicious clouds. The fairies gathered around the woman in the crimson robe, but because of the erosion of water vapor, the color of the mural was already mottled, and the paint on the face of the woman in red was peeled off, as if corroded. A very uncomfortable feeling.

Tofu asked, "What is painted on it? A group of gods having a meeting?"

"What kind of fairy meeting." I shook my head and said, "This is the 'Flying Immortal Picture'."

The murals in the tomb are roughly divided into three types. The first type is decorative murals, which can be seen everywhere.The second type is narrative murals, which are generally painted in the main tomb to record the life events of the tomb owner.The third type is the flying fairy murals in front of us. In ancient times, when people died, we like to call them "Xianqu" or "Guixi".Going to the immortals means becoming immortals, and returning to the west means going to the Western Paradise. In short, it is a kind of self-deception.

The picture of flying immortals in front of us depicts the experience of the owner of the tomb becoming an immortal after his death.Of course, the idea is good, and the implication is also good, but it is obviously all nonsense.

Perhaps some kind of psychological suggestion was at work. Once entering this tomb passage, the terrifying aura I felt before disappeared in an instant, as if the gods on these murals really had some kind of fairy power.Both Doufu and I were injured before, and now we are relaxed, the pain in the wound is unbearable, and the clothes on our bodies are also bloody and dirty.

I reckon that red-clothed ghost should not chase here, after all it is used to suppress Jiaolong, and there are so many portraits of true gods on both sides of this place, so there will be no troubles.So they called Tofu to rest, and the two helped each other to clean up the wounds on their bodies, wiped their bodies, put on clean clothes, and barely recovered their human appearance.Tofu's face was full of anger, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and cursed: "This time I am blind, and if I catch that old boy surnamed Feng, I will beat him until he doesn't even know his parents."

Our bodies are already exhausted after all the tossing and wrestling. At this moment, I just want to have a good rest, and I don't want to take advantage of the quick talk, so I said: "This place is relatively safe, let's take a rest first, as for the surname Feng, It is normal for us not to be related or to leave us alone. Don’t think too much about it.”

This kind of thing may be a bit uncomfortable for Tofu, but I have long been used to it. Ever since I met Feng Guishou, I never thought about trusting him.There is a saying that people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth are destroyed. I would be surprised if he turned around to save us.

I closed my eyes and rested my mind for a while, Tofu was also sitting opposite, he was a little guilty, pulling his hair, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In fact, I know that I should hurry up, because that Jiaolong doesn't know if there will be an accident, but at this time, Tofu and I are in a state of exhaustion, which seriously hinders my various tasks. Judgment, so I decided to take a two 10 minute break.

After closing his eyes for about ten minutes, Tofu suddenly let out a snort, as if he had discovered something.

I didn't open my eyes, and said calmly: "What's wrong?" I guess it's not a big deal, if there is any danger, he would jump up and yell instead of hey.

Tofu came to my side, patted my shoulder, and said: "Don't sleep, something is wrong, look at the footprints on the ground." Footprints?What's so good about footprints?Could something be wrong again?Cursing in my heart, I suddenly opened my eyes and looked at the ground, only to see the two rows of footprints of me and Tofu clearly left on the ground, which were the traces left by the sticky corpse oil, following the movement of the footsteps , and thus getting lighter.

It's a bit disgusting to think about it, but what's so strange about it?I moved my eyes to Tofu, and couldn't help raising my eyebrows, signaling that he'd better give me a reasonable explanation.

Tofu suddenly became anxious, and said: "I said perverted Chen, aren't you usually very smart, don't you always boast that you are from the reincarnation of Zhuge, why didn't you even notice this? Look, there are only two footprints on the ground , where did that Feng go?" I was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood.Yes, where did Feng Guishou go?We checked carefully before entering the door. This tomb passage is the only passage. If Feng Gui's hands entered the tomb passage, the corpse oil on his feet should also leave footprints, right?
Could it be that he didn't come in at all?
Tofu and I looked at each other, and for a moment we didn't understand, so Tofu swallowed his saliva and said, "Could it be that he's still outside?"

I said: "Impossible. When you come in, you can see everything around you clearly. It is impossible to hide someone, and there is no need for him to hide."

Tofu said: "Could it be that a big living person just disappeared?"

I shook my head, couldn't sit still any longer, stood up from the ground, and carefully observed the surrounding ground with the help of the headlight. There was nothing but the footprints of me and Tofu.Could it be that Feng Guishou really evaporated suddenly?This is definitely impossible, even if it is death, there should always be a corpse left behind. Then, what is going on?

After thinking about it for a long time, Tofu thought about it, gritted his teeth, and said, "Forget it, we don't care whether he lives or dies. Just do what you like and do your own thing." This is exactly what I wanted. I said in my heart: I learned a lot from a pit, it seems that this kid has learned a lesson this time, and I guess he will no longer be foolish in self-sacrifice and helping others.

Just as I was sighing that a kind seed was about to be drowned at last, there was a sudden bang at the end of the tomb passage, which seemed to be the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. In the quiet environment, although the sound was dull, It seemed to be far away, but it was hard to ignore. It immediately attracted the attention of Tofu and me, and the two of them stopped thinking about Feng Guishou.

Tofu listened attentively, but after that sound, there was no other sound. Tofu speculated: "It must be Wei Guangtou and the others. Quick, let's go and have a look." We don't want to stay here any longer. Okay, let me take the lead, holding two linked movable steel rods in one hand, similar to a golden cudgel. This thing is definitely better than a pistol in the tomb. My head went flying.

I ran a few steps ahead, and the tomb passage came to an end. Tofu and I were stunned for a moment, because at the end, there was no way to go, not even a door.I was stunned for a moment, and said in my heart: How could this happen?We are now in the Feixian tomb passage behind the ghost path. According to the layout of the tomb, behind the Feixian tomb passage should be the place where the funeral objects are placed. How could there be no way suddenly?

In front of us, the path was suddenly blocked by blue tomb bricks, just like a high wall blocking the front, I said to Tofu, "Pinch me, I think this must be a dream, it is not logical." , the construction of the mausoleum has strict rules, such as this Feixian tomb passage must be connected to the tomb chamber, and everything in front of me immediately overturned the tomb robbery knowledge my grandfather taught me, making me feel a little confused, Feeling dumbfounded.

After I finished speaking, Tofu ignored me. I thought he was also stimulated, and I turned around to discuss with him, but when I turned around, there was nothing behind me, only darkness.

What about people?

He was clearly following me just now, and the footsteps were clearly audible, why did he disappear in an instant?When I looked at the ground again, my heart skipped a beat, and goose bumps popped up all over my body.There were two rows of footprints on the ground, but at some point, there was only one row left.

The tofu footprints disappeared.
