Tomb Raider: Beginning Wu Xie was badly tricked

Chapter 52 True and False, False and True

Wu Xie’s face still needs to be given. After all, thanks to him, their group was able to arrive at the mausoleum safely.

“Okay, let’s eat something, take a rest, and replenish our energy...”

After all, this is just a side hall, and it is still far from the main hall!

While eating to replenish their energy, everyone looked at the side hall they were in.

Nothing special, just some relatively large decorations!

Of course, there are also some bottles and jars.

Such large things cannot be moved.

Generally, good things or major things will be in the main hall.

Unless the things in the side hall are very precious, there is no need to waste time.

About 10 minutes!

Everyone has rested for a while.

So, they roughly sorted out their equipment and headed to the main hall...

“Huh? Why is it so quiet?”

All the way down, it was unobstructed, there were no dangers or secret passages, it was a bit abnormal.

Coming from the tomb of the burial companions, there were many traps along the way. It didn't make sense that the imperial tomb would be so peaceful!

It was not like Wang Canghai's character at all.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal!

"Is this a trick? Do you want to relax everyone's vigilance again? And then come to kill with one blow?" Everyone couldn't help wondering.

"Maybe! No matter what, we must remain 120,000 points of vigilance, and we will block the enemy and cover the water with earth."

Everyone remained highly vigilant all the way, but nothing happened until the main hall.

"Is this... the main hall of the imperial tomb? Are you sure you are not in the wrong place? Where are the funeral objects of the fat man? Why are there none?"

"Is this Wannu King so stingy? Or did the old man Wang Canghai take them away?"

"Tian Zhen, come and see if there is any hidden mechanism here to hide the real coffin?"

As soon as we arrived at the main hall, the fat man's ghost howling sounded.

The reason is simple, because the main hall is empty, let alone the coffin, there is not even a decent funeral object.

Not to mention Fatty, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

For the time being, they didn't figure out what was going on.

Without Fatty's explanation, everyone started to walk around.

After all, this place was too weird and abnormal.

Not to mention the imperial mausoleum, even if it was an ordinary tomb, the main tomb chamber would not be so clean.

It must be hidden.

Everyone had this guess.

Wu Xie certainly thought it would not be so simple.

The legendary mysterious Yunding Palace would definitely not be so simple.

I had expected this a long time ago, so I was not too surprised.

The expressions of others were more or less strange, and only Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling, and Chenpi A Si were as calm as before.

No one could tell what they were thinking.

Wu Xie stayed on the pillar in the center of the main hall for a long time, so long that everyone noticed his strangeness.

"Little Third Master, what are you looking at? So fascinated?" Pan Zi was closest to Wu Xie, and walked over curiously, and then he also found the four words on the pillar and murmured.

"Xuanwu Rejects Corpses? What does this mean? Who carved it here? Is there a mechanism here?" Pan Zi asked four soul-searching questions.

Everyone gathered around when they heard Pan Zi's words, and also saw the four words on the obvious carvings on the pillar.

"Xuanwu Rejects Corpses? Could it be what is mentioned in the Burial Sutra?" Fatty was a little shocked.

"Sure! Fatty, I didn't expect you to have read the Burial Sutra! Then do you know what Xuanwu Rejects Corpses means?" Hua Heshang couldn't help but tease Fatty.

"Tsk! Fatty knows a lot! What about the Four Books and Five Classics, astronomy and geography? Fatty has dabbled in them. Are you impressed? Don't judge people by their own strength."

"So Fatty is so powerful! Then come and explain it to everyone!" Hua Heshang knew that Fatty was bragging when he heard that Fatty was bragging, and he started to argue.

"Ahem, listen carefully..."

"The Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Land! It is the worst, cheapest, and most evil place with the worst feng shui. Those buried in such a place will suffer for their descendants..."

"According to the saying, the royal tomb of King Wannu should be buried in a place with excellent feng shui! How could it be buried in such a place?"

Everyone was confused when they heard the fat man's serious words. They looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe what the fat man said.

"Grandpa, is what the fat man said true?" Hua Heshang could only ask Chenpi Ah Si for advice. He suspected that the fat man was fooling them.

"That's right! That's what the little fat man said."

"The Xuanwu corpse-rejecting land is a very bad Feng Shui pattern. People or objects buried in this Feng Shui may undergo unexpected corpse transformation."

"This kind of Feng Shui pattern is generally used by those Taoist priests with bad intentions to take crooked paths and raise corpses."

Chen Pi A Si said so much in one breath, and after a pause, he continued: "This kind of Feng Shui land appears here, which is a bit tricky..."

Even an old man like Chen Pi A Si said it was a tricky matter, which proved that it was a bit difficult.

Everyone was suddenly in a dilemma and had no idea for a while.

"Tian Zhen, what do you think?" Fatty asked Wu Xie. After all, in his eyes, Wu Xie was smart and could think of many things at a glance.

Wu Xie rolled his eyes speechlessly, what do I think? I look with my eyes, stand and look, sit and look...

Otherwise, how can we see it? Lying down and watching?

"Innocent, why are you looking at me like this? Did I say something wrong? Fatty, I'm so scared!"

The fat man noticed that Wu Xie looked at him strangely, and he always felt uncomfortable in his heart. After thinking about it, he shouldn't have said anything wrong just now, right?

"According to my observation, although this is a place of great misfortune, it is also a place of great auspiciousness. Good and bad fortunes depend on each other, yin and yang depend on each other, and misfortunes and blessings depend on each other..."

"...Uh! Naive, you mean that there is an excellent Feng Shui pattern hidden in a dangerous place?"

The fat man was confused, but he could barely understand the general meaning.

"Absolutely! The person who carved these words probably wanted to tell the people who came after him that the road is under a dangerous place..."

In fact, Wu Xie came to these conclusions based on the judgment of the 16-character Feng Shui secret technique.

"In other words, if we want to find the real tomb of Yunding Tiangong, we must set foot in the so-called dangerous place?"

"Well, that's understandable!" Wu Xie nodded lightly.

After listening to Wu Xie's words, Chen Pi Asi also fell into deep thought. He felt that the Wu boy's analysis was very reasonable. He had just made a mistake.

"Then what are you waiting for? What the hell, look for the mechanism, find the entrance! Fatty, I can feel the underworld weapon in Yunding Heavenly Palace calling Fatty."

Fatty was the most anxious. After listening to Wu Xie's analysis and knowing that they had found a way, he wanted to immediately rush to the real mausoleum of Yunding Tiangong to find his treasure.

"I think I know where the agency is."

When everyone was looking for the entrance to the mechanism, Wu Xie suddenly said this.

This caused everyone to look at Wu Xie, waiting for him to reveal the secret.

After Wu Xie said that, he didn't say anything else, nor did everyone look at him.

Soon, they discovered that Wu Xie's eyes had not moved away from the pillar engraved with 'Xuanwu Shu Zhi'.

I just said I found the mechanism, but now I keep staring at the pillar. Could it be...

The fat man's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask: "Zhenzhen, the mechanism you mentioned is on this pillar?"

"If my guess is correct, it should be it." The person who carved the letter directly marked the mechanism for them, so as not to waste time looking for it.

After listening to the conversation between Wu Xie and Fatty, everyone gathered around with suspicion.

I walked around the pillar, it was all bare, and I didn't see anything special except for some carvings.

Where is the agency?

"Isn't this just a big pillar? Where is the mechanism?"

"Look at the connection between the pillar and the ground..." Wu Xie reminded.

As early as when he guessed that the pillar was activating the mechanism, Wu Xie had carefully observed it and found that there was a small gap where the pillar connected with the ground.

Everyone also followed Wu Xie's guidance and really saw something unique.

There are some subtle traces at the connection between the pillars and the ground. If you don't look carefully, you will really miss them.

That's what's left when the column rotates.

Seeing this trace, everyone understood that just turning the pillar should be enough to open the mechanism.

"Then what are you waiting for? Come on! Old Pan! Come and help me." The fat man said, greeting Pan Zi, and then the two of them hugged the stone pillar.

Slowly started to spin...

Click click click!

The sound of the machine starting up sounded!

The agency is really here, which proves that Wu Xie's analysis just now is correct, the entrance is at the bottom.

However! Before the smiles on everyone's faces could rise, suddenly their feet were suspended in the air and they all fell down like dumplings.

It’s a bit surprising!

"Fuck..."

"grass!"

Within a few seconds, there were several thumps! They all fell to the ground, making it difficult for people to guard against them. Fortunately, the terrain was not high, otherwise some of them would have suffered.

"Your uncle, who is sitting on the fat uncle's belly? Get off quickly..."

Wu Xie took advantage of the darkness and stood up silently, standing aside as if nothing had happened.

After that, some cursing voices sounded.

"Nah! Why are you so cheating without even reminding me..."

"Damn it! That little old man Wang Zanghai is so insidious. He actually set up such a way to open the door. By the way, why did people in ancient times like to do this? Fatty, my August 15th door almost broke into pieces."

"Damn fat man, just be satisfied! Fortunately there are no traps down there, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as being thrown down."

"That's right!" The fat man put down the hand that was rubbing his butt, and he was also a little happy at the same time.

Fortunately, there are no sharp thorns or a nest of poisonous insects, snakes, and ants underneath. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Don't rejoice too early. Take a look at what's going on around you first!" Wu Xie said quietly in the darkness.

Although the flashlight fell to the ground, it still had some light.

The hazy light was enough for everyone to see clearly the environment they were currently in.

They were surrounded by some horse-faced mercenaries. I bet they fell into the pile of these buried mercenaries.

Moreover, these mercenaries acted very strangely. They were all facing their direction, and the sword tips in their hands were also pointed in their direction.

At first glance, it suddenly felt creepy.

"This...this, are we a sheep in a tiger's mouth?" Everyone suddenly understood their situation.

"These...are just some statues, can't they...?"

"Don't have any fluke mentality, they will definitely turn into corpses..."

Before the fat man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Xie.

Everyone thought of what Chenpi Ah Si and Wu Xie had said about the Xuanwu corpse-rejecting place.

Looking at the statues again, they were shocked and gasped!

"Think about those centipedes and those strange birds with human faces, and get up quickly to prepare for fighting...and escape!"

However!

As if to meet the occasion, after Wu Xie finished speaking, there was a sound of something breaking around.

This sound seemed to explode in everyone's mind, and even Wu Xie was stunned.

"......."

"What's going on? It's real!"

"What are you waiting for? Run! Are you waiting to be besieged?"

"Run..."

Originally, there were some people sitting on the ground who didn't react. After being shouted at, they also got up and ran.

Just as they rushed out, the cracking sound behind them continued to sound, and even footsteps could be heard...

Damn! They really all survived.

Wu Xie and the others really analyzed it correctly.

They still want to let people live, either a centipede dragon or a human-faced strange bird, and now there are a group of horse-faced mercenaries.

They always want to make dumplings for them, but these are all zongzi!

It seems that there are quite a lot of them. If they are surrounded, it will be a bit difficult to escape.

And judging from the current situation, there are too many zongzi, even if they use black donkey hooves, it will not be enough to fill their teeth.

When these zongzi caught up, Wu Xie saw Zhang Qiling's black gold ancient knife backhandedly chopped at those zongzi.

The result! There was no damage to those zongzi.

It was because those zongzi were wearing a set of armor made of unknown material.

According to Zhang Qiling's strength, if there was no armor, the zongzi might be chopped in two by him.

These zongzi have an extra layer of armor, which is equivalent to an extra layer of protective color, so it is not so easy to deal with them.

In addition, these zongzi are originally thick-skinned and have weapons as assistance, which makes it even more troublesome to deal with them.

Gangsters are not scary, but gangsters with culture are scary!

While dealing with these zongzi, Wu Xie searched everywhere for a place where they could leave these zongzi behind.

Then he heard some water sounds, proving that there was a river not far ahead of them.

"Run quickly, run up along this moat, these zongzi are weird, don't fight head-on..."

Everyone has been escaping from death all the way, and it is not the first time to face this situation, and they have already developed some experience in escaping.

Everyone shook off the chasing zongzi while dodging and counterattacking, and also looking for a way out.

After all, such a tug-of-war is not good for a long time.

They are flesh and blood and will definitely be tired, but these zongzi are unconscious and they will probably be fine if they run until the end of time.

This is the gap!

They are incomparable to mortal bodies!
