Tomb Raider: Beginning Wu Xie was badly tricked

Chapter 200: The Jade Figurines of “Compassion for Women” (revised, two-in-one)

The fat man shouted angrily: “Damn, snakes again? Why are you fighting with these snakes?”

But no matter how angry he was, he still had to do his best to break the armor and kill the snakes. Otherwise, they would be entangled with these jade figurines endlessly.

The more he fought, the more depressed the fat man became. He saw several times that the jade figurines passed by Chen Wenjin without attacking her.

It was as if they couldn’t see her and directly treated her as transparent. When they passed by her, they ignored her.

“It’s really weird. These jade figurines only beat men and not women.” The fat man couldn’t help complaining.

And after the efforts of several of them, many jade figurines were also knocked down by them.

Several people also gathered together. After hearing what Fatty said, Chen Wenjin also spoke:

"It was the smell on my body that protected me. The ones who controlled the jade figurines were those black-haired snakes. They could smell the smell on my body, the smell of the elixir they had taken."

"The jade figurines are a human wave tactic. There is no way to fight like this. We have to find another way out quickly." Chen Wenjin said this anxiously.

It was at this time that Fatty understood the whole story. He thought it was really so weird that these jade figurines could smell the smell of men and women! It turned out that it was the elixir of the Queen Mother of the West.

"No need to look for it. I still have detonators on me. I'll go blow up the door..." Fatty said while staring at the surroundings and the jade figurines that were still moving towards them.

Fatty was about to pull off his backpack when he was stopped by Wu Xie: "It's useless, Fatty. No matter how powerful your detonators are, you can't blow up the bronze door."

Wu Xie had observed when he came in. The bronze door was so heavy that it was impossible to blow it open. If it was a stone door, there might be some possibility.

"This won't work, and that won't work. What should we do?" With their flesh and blood, they simply couldn't resist these jade figurines for long, and they would be exhausted sooner or later.

Since Wu Xie said that it couldn't be blown open, it must be true with a high probability.

Wu Xie's eyes shifted to the star disk.

The eyes of the others also shifted with him, and they all looked at the star disk, waiting for Wu Xie's answer. And Wu Xie did not disappoint their expectations.

"If it doesn't work to blow up the bronze door, you can try to blow up this star disk..." Wu Xie reminded Fatty.

"Is there a road under the star disk?" Fatty was puzzled.

"You will know if you try it. Hurry up, we will cover you." Wu Xie said, and several of them moved forward to attack the besieged jade figurines, creating a good condition for Fatty.

Wu Xie and his men guided the jade figurines to retreat while fighting, trying to stay away from the star disk to avoid being affected by the explosion.

Fatty took out two detonators from his bag without being disturbed, and stuffed one directly under the star disk.

Then, he walked a dozen meters further away, pulled out another detonator, and threw it directly at the detonator that was just stuffed under the star disk...

"Bang..."

There was a loud bang, and then the dust filled the air...

Not long before the explosion, Black Glasses and Xie Yuchen followed the clues left by Wu Xie and others and found the outside of the bronze door.

But there was no mechanism, and brute force could not push the heavy bronze door open.

Helplessly, the two had to find another way out, turning around and knocking on both sides of the stone wall passage they had just come from to see if they could find other mechanisms or entrances.

When Black Glasses and Xie Yuchen were checking the walls on both sides, they suddenly heard a huge explosion.

They looked at the bronze door that they couldn't push open just now.

"Is it a big explosion in here? Are they trying to blow up the bronze door?" Black Glasses said with a sigh.

"It's best if it can be blown up. To be on the safe side, let's continue on our way out!" In order to be on the safe side, Xie Yuchen still proposed to split the troops into two groups.

It would be best if they could blow the door open. If they couldn't, they could still find the entrance from their side. One more way and one more option.

As they said that, the two began to look for possible escape exits on the wall.

Xie Yuchen knocked on the wall and listened carefully all the way back to the way he had just come. Just when he was about to leave and go to the next wall.

Xie Yuchen suddenly turned back and knocked again at the place he had just knocked.

This time, after listening carefully, he really found that the echo in this place was different from that in other places. He thought it was an illusion just now!

Fortunately, after finding something wrong, he turned back again. Otherwise, he almost missed it.

After finding the place, Xie Yuchen stopped and Black Glasses continued to walk forward: "Here..."

Black Glasses came back after hearing the sound, looked at it and said: "Smash it!"

So, the two of them started to dig at that place with mountaineering picks...

Those rock walls were very hard, and it took them a long time to dig a small hole, but this also proved that their guess was correct.

Since the path was right, the two worked harder to enlarge the gap. After more than ten minutes, they finally dug out a hole that could accommodate one person...

After entering the hole and passing through a dark passage, they opened a stone door.

The two walked slowly into the stone door, carefully observing the surroundings as they walked, and found that they had entered a strange stone chamber with some strange things in it.

Black Glasses, who was walking slowly, suddenly heard a clicking sound, and the stone slabs he was stepping on suddenly sank in.

When Black Glasses and Xie Yuchen heard the noise, their first reaction was that they had been hit.

Sure enough, not long after that crisp click sound, the stone door they entered through slowly closed.

After the two discovered the situation, they ran over quickly, but it was still too late. As soon as they ran to the stone door, the stone door was already tightly closed together.

Black Glasses and Jie Yuchen looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. The back road was blocked, so we could only turn around and continue exploring forward.

Black Glasses walked to the original position, suddenly took out a lighter and lit it. After about a minute, he turned off the lighter and said: "It's okay, the oxygen is still sufficient."

After shining a flashlight around the entire stone chamber, Black Glasses spoke again: "Compared with the previous fake palace that was full of zircons and could brighten people's eyes, this place is too simple, isn't it?"

"The underground palace here is not that simple. Look at those walls. After 3,000 years, you can see that the color blocks of these murals are intact and have not faded at all. They must have used the best paints and craftsmen."

Jie Yuchen said, squatting on the ground and looking at the masonry underneath: "Look at these floors again. They have a soft luster. They are all made of the best masonry. It can be said that they have put a lot of thought into it..."

"Then she put so much thought and trouble into building three reservoirs just to hide this basement?" Black Glasses asked doubtfully.

"The underground on this level is most likely the real Palace of the Queen Mother of the West." Xie Yuchen guessed.

"Then let's first find out what this room is for? Then we can work together to prescribe the right medicine to break the mechanism." Black Glasses' suggestion was approved by Yuchen, who knew him well.

So, the two of them walked to the stone table in the center of the stone room, which was filled with some small parts and some crystal boxes. There were also some strange specimens in the crystal boxes.

Black Glasses and Xie Yuchen didn't notice at all that the jade figurine standing behind them actually moved its fingers.

The two of them had no idea that it was because someone from Wu Xie, who was not far away from them, had messed with the astrolabe, which caused the jade figurines to be activated.

Even these jade figurines that were so far away from them were also activated.

At this time, Black Glasses picked up a strange knife: "This size and model should be a scalpel."

With that said, Black Glasses handed the knife to Jie Yuchen, and said very politely: "Don't ask me why I know, don't ask."

Jie Yuchen looked at the scalpel stretched out in front of his eyes, then rolled his black glasses and walked away without saying a word.

The desire to show off the black glasses is not satisfied, as if something is not said, and the heart is not happy. He immediately followed up: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

"This is called a scalpel. Why do I know that? Because when I went to Germany to study, I learned anatomy and got a degree!"

Jie Yuchen didn't speak, just looked at the black glasses without saying a word. Under Jie Yuchen's speechless eyes, the black glasses were immediately defeated, and then walked aside to observe the crystal boxes.

After a while, the voice with black glasses sounded again: "Master Hua, this thing is quite alive! Is the Queen Mother of the West making a specimen?"

"The technology of specimens appeared after Nantang. These should be crystal coffins here, which are the same as the thousand-year-old female corpse unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha." Xie Yuchen explained.

"The potion that soaked the female corpse for thousands of years has not been completely cracked yet. Could it be that the Queen Mother of the West has already developed that kind of antiseptic potion?" Black Glasses was confused.

The two of them turned to the mural wall again and began to examine the murals on the wall.

"This human head, snake body, and fish tail, are you trying to graft? Queen Mother Xi's taste is quite strong!" Black Glasses looked at the weird people on the mural on the wall and commented.

"Dragons, birds, snakes, and insects are all spiritual animals. In Neolithic cultural sites, archaeologists have discovered a large number of jade statues in which humans and animals coexist, just like the portraits on this mural."

"In the previews of Liezi and Taiping, Fuxi and Nuwa have a human face and a snake body. She can live for a hundred years or a thousand years. This is Fuxi's longevity technique." Xie Yuchen talked eloquently about this, which shows his knowledge. The accumulation is very profound.

Black Glasses shined a flashlight on a pattern for Xie Yuchen to see: "Look at this, Xi Wangmu is experimenting with Fuxi's longevity technique."

"So this is her biological laboratory?" Xie Yuchen said in surprise.

"Eighty percent yes, and based on the climate in Tamutuo, she finally chose to raise snakes." Black Glasses nodded lightly and said affirmatively.

"But looking at it now, she probably didn't choose to use this immortality technique. Do you remember the murals on the walls of the fake palace?" Jie Yuchen asked Black Glasses.

Black Glasses nodded lightly and said, "She was wearing gorgeous clothes and met King Zhou Mu in human form."

As the two of them spoke, they moved to the other side. When they passed by a jade figurine, they didn't notice it. The knife in the hand of the jade figurine slowly turned in one direction.

Black Glasses and Jie Yuchen walked to another wall with murals and carefully observed the murals on the wall.

Looking at the murals on the wall, the two had a new round of discussion.

"This corpse-eating pill was made by the Queen Mother of the West."

Just as Black Glasses said this, Xie Yuchen took over his words.

"Then, she fed these people the corpse-eating pills for experiments."

As they talked, they turned to another wall. Looking at the mural of a figure crawling on the ground on the wall, Black Glasses said:

"I have seen this in the Golmud Sanatorium. Chen Wenjin said that Huo Ling is still not sure whether she can be called a human being. It seems that this should be Huo Ling after taking the elixir."

"It seems that Chen Wenjin and the others may have been used by someone to experiment with the method of longevity." Looking at the strange murals on the wall, Xie Yuchen had to guess from this.

"Maybe the Third Master discovered it, so he pretended to be dead and used the transparent identity to secretly investigate. He and Jie Lianhuan were in this situation today, which was also a helpless move." Black Glasses used this to comfort Xie Yuchen.

After hearing what Black Glasses said, Xie Yuchen didn't know what he was thinking and didn't speak for a while.

......

Wu Xie and his team saw the place where the big round table used to be after the smoke and dust went up. The big round table disappeared, revealing a dark hole.

"I didn't expect that Wu Xie was right. There is really a passage here." Fatty said in surprise.

"Stop talking nonsense. Go quickly. Those things are coming again." Wu Xie said, and was the first to jump into the cave. The others followed one by one.

After jumping into the cave, everyone held a flashlight and slowly groped forward. Not long after walking, Fatty saw a mark on the stone wall with his sharp eyes.

He looked at the mark and felt familiar, so he shouted to everyone to come and see: "Hey, come and see."

Wu Xie and Chen Wenjin were closest to Fatty. They came over after hearing the sound, and Wu Xie saw the familiar mark at a glance.

"I have seen this mark on the well entrance before, and this is the mark of the little brother. It should be left by the little brother when he came here before." Wu Xie did not hide it.

"Little brother, come and see." Fatty shouted.

When the young man came over, the fat man continued, "Young man, think carefully, how did you get out at that time?"

The young man looked at the familiar mark in front of him. He was sure that the mark was left by himself, but he couldn't remember anything for a while, so he couldn't help but touch it.

But he found three finger-sized holes in the inconspicuous position on the side of the mark. The little man's expression was stunned for a second.

Then, the young man stretched out his three slender fingers and inserted them into the holes. There was no reaction at first. The young man didn't believe it. These three holes couldn't appear for no reason.

It just happened to appear next to his mark, so it must be useful.

So, he increased his strength and inserted it into the hole again. After that, the fat man and the others heard a sound that made them all excited...
