Tomb Raider: Beginning Wu Xie was badly tricked

"After I became the head of the family, I found that people from the Nine Gates for several generations were involved in a force. What happened to the Nine Gates and what was being concealed?"

Xie Yuchen was very puzzled. What kind of force could involve so many people from the Nine Gates for several generations?

"Maybe, he knows..." Black Glasses gestured to Xie Yuchen to look in the direction of Xie Lianhuan.

At this time, Black Glasses slowly stood up, looked down at Xie Yuchen and said, "For a kind person like me, the technique of forcing a confession is also first-class. How about I ask the Third Master for you?"

Xie Yuchen patted Black Glasses' feet helplessly, motioning him to sit down and talk. Only after Black Glasses sat back in his original position did Xie Yuchen continue to talk, and he was still a little obsessed with this question.

"He is not the Third Master, his surname is Xie!"

"Oh! Yes! I'm used to calling him that." Black Glasses smiled.

"However, for so many years, everyone started from the Seven-Star Lu Palace, went to Xisha, Qinling, and then to Yunding Palace, and finally came here, Wu Xie is the same."

"But you can find this place by yourself with a piece of Lu Huangbo. Although you are capable, think about it carefully! He should have helped you, right?" Black Glasses looked at the direction of Jie Lianhuan meaningfully.

Black Glasses' words also made Jie Yuchen look at Jie Lianhuan with some suspicion, wondering what he was thinking.

......

Wu Xie's side...

The three of them just turned a corner and heard someone calling Xiao Sanye, and found that it was Mop and his brothers who caught up...

"Why did you follow? Didn't I ask you to look after Sanye?" As soon as he saw Mop, Fatty couldn't help asking.

"Fat Master, don't worry, I sent someone back to look after Sanye! Besides, there is Huaerye! With him guarding, you can rest assured!" Mop explained with a smile.

"Let's go!" Wu Xie didn't say much about this, but just said two words lightly, turned around and continued to walk forward.

Wu Xie had already spoken, and Fatty didn't say anything else.

"Little Third Master has spoken, brothers, let's follow Little Third Master..." Without being scolded, Mop waved to his brothers and said proudly.

Fatty was speechless when he saw this scene. He took a few steps forward, put his hand on Wu Xie's shoulder, and looked very puzzled: "I say, what kind of shrimp soldiers and crab generals did your Third Uncle find this time?"

"You are wrong, he is not my Third Uncle." Wu Xie left with this sentence.

After that, Wu Xie and the others kept walking along those passages. They didn't know how long they walked. They came to a large stone room. Suddenly, the front was open, and several people walked in quickly.

This huge stone room feels like those circular lecture halls in colleges, surrounded by layers of circular stairs, and there are some stone figurines standing on each layer of circular stairs.

There is also an oversized round stone table in the center of the huge stone room, and there are some small things on it.

"Look, look at them all. These jade figurines are the carving art of ancient ancestors, and they are the artistic treasures of Chinese culture! Hahaha!" Fatty couldn't help boasting when he saw these things.

"Gentlemen, what are jade figurines?" Mop asked without understanding.

"It is a human-shaped figurine made of jade in the shape of a servant. Do you understand?" Fatty explained kindly for him.

"This Queen Mother of the West is good! There is a human-faced bird in the Cloud Top Palace and jade figurines in the Seven Stars Palace of King Lu. This social circle is quite wide! However, did she dig such a large palace just to put these things?" Fatty asked in confusion.

When Fatty said this, Chen Wenjin had already come behind them. Hearing Fatty's question, she slowly stepped forward and said, "This is the holy place of the Queen Mother of the West Palace."

As soon as Chen Wenjin spoke, everyone knew she was here and turned to look at her.

Facing Wu Xie's gaze, Chen Wenjin explained, "Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua stayed there to watch him."

Wu Xie said nothing and turned to look at the jade figurines again.

"Wu Xie, do you think it's true that the Queen Mother of the West has the elixir of immortality? What about everyone else? You all bring your own local specialties and come here to seek immortality?"

Fatty asked Wu Xie while walking with his arm around his shoulder, while the others scattered to check the jade figurines around.

The two walked to a jade figurine, and Fatty wanted to touch it, but was stopped by Wu Xie: "Be careful, these jade figurines are extraordinary after they are shed."

"It's all dried, what are you afraid of? Besides, it doesn't cost anything to touch it." Fatty didn't care.

"Take a closer look, these jade figurines are not good at all." Wu Xie reminded again.

After Wu Xie said this, Fatty took a closer look again and began to agree with Wu Xie: "You are right, these jade figurines are indeed a bit scary after looking at them for a long time."

The little brother was originally walking not far behind Wu Xie and the others, and he was also carefully observing the jade figurines and the lamp posts.

I don't know if he thought of something, but the young man walked to a lamp post and reached out to touch the hollow stone lampshade without warning.

The moment the young man touched the lampshade, something magical happened...

The lamp on the lamp post that the young man touched suddenly lit up, and not only that, but also many small flames separated from the flame of this lamp.

Those small flames even strangely turned into fire butterflies and flew to other lamp posts. After a while, all the lamp posts were lit up.

For a moment, the entire huge space became bright. At this time, everyone could see this place more clearly.

Everyone was very surprised when they saw this strange scene, and the fat man even exclaimed: "What is the principle of this? Why did it suddenly light up?"

"My brother should have activated the mechanism and triggered the flint on the stage." Wu Xie guessed.

"The hanging furnace, this is the alchemy furnace of the Queen Mother of the West..."

Just as he was looking around in amazement, Chen Wenjin's exclamation was suddenly heard, drawing everyone's attention to the sky.

"The alchemy furnace is suspended in the air and does not touch the ground. It collects the essence of the entire dragon vein!" Wu Xie looked at the alchemy furnace suspended in mid-air by four iron chains and said calmly.

Just when everyone else's attention was focused on the alchemy furnace hanging above their heads, a mop boy pushed his arm and whispered: "Boss, look at that..."

The direction that the boy pointed was the small ornaments on the large round table in the center.

Mop's attention was immediately transferred to the round table. He looked closely at the small ornaments and suddenly said in surprise: "Beeswax? There must be something good wrapped in it."

As he spoke, Mo Mo climbed up the round table and looked at several beeswax placed on the round table. Just as Mo Mo was about to pick up a beeswax to check, he was interrupted by a voice.
