Tomb Raider: Beginning Wu Xie was badly tricked

Just as he was talking about the horror of being possessed by the Chi Gu mask, he immediately saw a huge mask.

Fatty's eyes widened, and he pulled Wu Xie over, pointing to the side of the place he had just occupied: "Face! There is another human face there!"

Wu Xie looked back suddenly, but was stunned.

They had just entered a passage, and then there were some murals carved on the stone walls of the passage.

Those murals extended all the way to the depths of the passage.

Fatty might have been scared by the mask he just mentioned, or he was too focused, causing him to subconsciously think that the faces on the murals were the faces of the people just now.

"It's okay, it's a mural!" Wu Xie said, walking and looking.

Unknowingly, the murals were finished, and the passage was also finished.

Except for Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling, Fatty and Lao Yang were confused and didn't know what the murals meant.

Not to mention Fatty and the others, Wu Xie was confused at first and could only guess.

"Tian Zhen, what does this mural mean?"

Wu Xie didn't answer, he looked at Zhang Qiling.

"Brother, do you understand?"

Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling. Although there was no change on his face, Wu Xie was sensitive enough to catch the change of his mood for a moment.

Maybe it has something to do with what he is protecting!

After reading those murals, Wu Xie knew the general idea by guessing, but he just wanted Zhang Qiling to talk more.

However, Zhang Qiling was still the same Zhang Qiling, with a very unique personality.

He just said two words and didn't speak again.

Really Zhang Qiling!!!

"Eternal life..."

"What? Eternal life? What is painted here is the secret of eternal life?"

The fat man couldn't believe it!

But Lao Yang was excited and his reaction was very strange.

"What's going on? Xiao Tianzhen, is there really eternal life? Do you believe it?"

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. Anyway, those murals depict a story about eternal life."

Although he said so, Wu Xie's face was not very good.

So, Wu Xie roughly sorted out the content he understood from those murals and narrated it in the simplest and most understandable language.

The general meaning is:

In ancient times, there lived a mysterious ethnic minority tribe in the Qinling Mountains. The living conditions were difficult and the natural environment was harsh.

Humans could not fight against the power of nature, and they would definitely not be able to fight against heaven.

Therefore, the mortality rate in the tribe was very high, some died of illness, some died of old age.

People died every day, of course, the probability of death from illness accounted for at least half.

The ancestors of the tribe could not bear to see their relatives die, and they also deeply believed that the soul still existed in the world after death.

It just existed in another way.

Therefore, the ancestors of those tribes used the bodies of those deceased relatives to raise Gu.

The Gu raised was Chi Gu!

While they raised Gu with the bodies of their relatives, they also raised some monkeys.

Then they carved the appearance of their dead relatives into masks.

After the Chi Gu was raised, it attached to the mask, and then the Chi Gu masks were attached to the monkeys' faces and fostered as hosts.

In the eyes of those ancestors, these were their relatives, but they were immortal in another form.

Wu Xie paused here, and Fatty and Lao Yang felt creepy.

"Damn! Since ancient times, hasn't the dead been the most important and should be buried in peace?"

"What on earth were these ancestors thinking? Why did they think of using the bodies of their loved ones to raise Gu? Don't you think it's a bit cruel?"

Fatty felt terrified after listening to Wu Xie's story.

Although it is said that there will be no feelings after death, it is still creepy to think that your body is used to raise that disgusting Gu.

"But it's not right! After a long time, those monkeys will die too!"

"In the end, it's still the same result. Those so-called relatives parasitized by Gu will still leave."

Lao Yang couldn't help but question when he heard this kind of immortality. Is this immortality?

If this is immortality, who dares to want it? ?

It's hard for him to be so excited just now, thinking that it is really immortality!

"Did you listen to half of it? Didn't you hear Tianzhen say that they will look for the next host after the host they parasitize dies!"

"Do you understand what I mean? As long as they want, they can parasitize indefinitely..."

The fat man couldn't help but confront Lao Yang.

Don't think he didn't see it. When Xiao Tianzhen talked about immortality just now, his pair of bright eyes were obviously not good.

"What the fat man said is right. They can parasitize indefinitely. As long as there are animals or humans close to them, they will become their parasitic hosts."

"This is also what the ancestors of the tribe called immortality."

After listening to Wu Xie, everyone felt their scalps tingling.

Superstition kills people! You can't rest in peace even after death.

"If you die, you die! Can't you still reincarnate? Why do you still engage in this so-called immortality."

So stupid!

"Then...what's the matter with those monkeys being able to laugh like humans? Could it be that there is really some soul parasitizing?"

The fat man said half-jokingly.

"Do you think it's possible? Young man, believe in science." Wu Xie laughed and scolded.

"As for why those monkeys can make human-like laughter, maybe there is something special about those masks! I am not sure."

This kind of immortality makes people feel too incredible.

Fatty and the others were still digesting, so no one spoke for a long time.

In fact, Wu Xie omitted part of the story.

The reason why the ancestors of those tribes pursued immortality was because they needed to protect something from generation to generation.

But what they were protecting was not drawn on the murals.

Wu Xie and the others were now standing at the last few murals.

The murals were divided into two sides, as if they were confronting each other, as if it was a war.

The two figures on the murals were very distinct. One side was dressed simply, which should be the ancestors of the tribe, and the other side was wearing armor.

"Hey! Judging from the meaning of this painting, it seems that the ancestors were seriously injured! Judging from the meaning of this painting, they seem to be protecting something, right?"

Fatty might not understand the ancient characters, but he could still roughly understand the words describing the paintings by guessing.

"And the description in this painting, the group of armored people who hurt those ancestors seemed to be invulnerable."

"But... the next painting says that this group of invulnerable monsters were injured by some strange power..."

"Little naive, is it what I said?"

Wu Xie didn't quite understand those paintings at first, but after Fatty's words, he seemed to suddenly understand...

Guardian? Invulnerable?

And when he met Uncle Tai's group, the little brother mentioned the Bu Yan Qi.

It should be the conclusion drawn from the Hemu Collection.

The Bu Yan Qi mentioned should be the mysterious treasure hunting team of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Combined with these murals.

Wu Xie seemed to understand something.

It is rumored that the mysterious treasure hunting team of the Northern Wei Dynasty was wearing copper helmets and iron armor, so they were regarded as invulnerable monsters by the ancestors.

They should have found the things that the ancestors of the tribe guarded.

But in the end, they should have been injured by the things that the ancestors guarded when they were in action.

So, the mysterious treasure-hunting troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty suddenly disappeared in the Qinling Mountains?

What kind of mysterious power does that thing have? It can actually kill an entire elite force...
