Tomb Raider: Beginning Wu Xie was badly tricked

Chapter 203 Finally meeting the Queen Mother of the West... (two chapters in one)

But he was frightened by the fat man's words and backed away.

"Touch it, there must be no poison on it..."

When the mop was frightened and flinched, the boy suddenly said two words without thinking: "Leave a message!"

But anyone who has been with the little brother for a long time knows what he is talking about, and he has always been looking at the words on the stone tablet.

"Message? Who gave whom a message?"

"Xuan Nu's message to the Queen Mother of the West." Chen Wenjin was also looking at the stone tablet, which was an explanation to a few people.

"In that case, the owner of the coffin we just met is Xuannv." The fat man stood on the platform and looked down.

"Look at the face on the top. When we looked at it from below, it looked extremely scary, but now when we stand on the platform and look at it, we feel that the face has an unusually gentle smile." Wu Xie motioned to others to look at the face. turntable.

"This Xuannv has left her most gentle side to the Queen Mother of the West!" The fat man sighed with emotion.

But Mo Mo was confused and couldn't help but ask: "Who is Xuannv?"

"Xuan Nu is the legendary protector of the Queen Mother of the West. She is not only a special envoy to the Queen Mother of the West, but also a general who knows the military arts well. In today's terms, she is the head of the guard regiment." Fatty rarely explained.

"Well, Fatty, what is written on the stone tablet?" Momo also wanted to know what important things were written on the stone tablet they were all looking at.

The fat man couldn't understand the words on the stone tablet. When he was asked this question, he couldn't help but get angry: "Why do you have so many questions? You have a hundred thousand whys?"

Being scolded so loudly by the fat man, I was immediately frightened to take off my clothes and didn't dare to say anything more.

"What is written on the stone tablet is probably the parting message that Xuannv left for Queen Mother Xi! Xuannv knew that she would not live long, and she was afraid that no one would protect Queen Mother Xi's territory after she died."

"She turned her coffin into a mechanism and continued to protect the Queen Mother of the West after her death." Chen Wenjin explained roughly while looking at the words on the stone tablet.

"This Xuannv is really very affectionate towards the Queen Mother of the West!" When the fat man said this, he inadvertently spotted something strange on a stone slab right in front of the sitting person from the corner of his eye.

The fat man squatted down and looked at the semi-fan-shaped stone: "This is a mechanism? But why is the mechanism set up here?"

"The mechanism is here. If a person sitting there stands up, wouldn't it trigger the mechanism?" This was what the fat man was confused about.

"It's a trap, but it may not be lethal. Xuannv will never harm Queen Mother Xi! It's even less likely that Queen Mother Xi will set a trap for herself."

"I guess this mechanism should control the coffin below." Wu Xie expressed his guess.

"Fat man, get up and let me give it a try..." Wu Xie stepped on the half-fan-shaped stone slab after the fat man stood up.

Only a slight click was heard, and the fan-shaped stone slab immediately sank, and no other noise was heard after that. Everyone else looked around to see if any mechanism had been activated.

"Wu Xie was right, it's Xuan Nu's coffin. It's so powerful, all those long insects have been removed."

Fatty had been reminded by Wu Xie in advance and had always paid attention to Xuannv's coffin underneath. He was the first person to discover the changes in Xuannv's coffin.

"So, if you activate that mechanism, the blood-sucking worms on Xuannv's coffin will take the initiative to withdraw. This mechanism should be specially designed by Xuannv for the Queen Mother of the West." Wu Xie guessed.

"Great, we are safe." Mop said happily. Thinking of what just happened, he was still frightened.

While others were discussing Xuannv's coffin, they all returned to the 'Queen Mother of the West' who was sitting cross-legged...

The fat man also came over and looked at the 'Queen Mother of the West' sitting cross-legged on the ground and said with some confusion:

"Do you think this person is... still alive? If you say she is dead, then what else does she do? If you want to say she is not dead, isn't the Queen Mother of the West studying immortality?"

"Could it be..." The fat man seemed to have thought of something and walked forward slowly. Somewhat nervously, he reached under the man's nose.

The fat man wanted to test whether this person was really dead or fake. After trying it, the fat man breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll tell you what! After all, he is a fake."

At this time, the little brother took off a Double Dragon Jade Pendant from the man's neck and handed it to Wu Xie. Wu Xie reached out and took it. He knew what the little brother meant.

This dragon-shaped jade pendant may have a life-saving effect in special times. Sometimes you can just do it without taking action!

At this time, Chen Wenjin, who was checking the situation around, came back. Looking at the Double Dragon Jade Pendant in Wu Xie's hand, a trace of anxiety flashed on his face: "These are not what I am looking for."

"What exactly are you looking for?" The fat man wondered.

"I don't know exactly what it is, but it's definitely not here. There's no time. I'm out of time."

Chen Wenjin said, and walked quickly to the other side, which was behind the stone tablet, and others quickly followed.

As soon as I stepped down the stairs, I heard Chen Wenjin's somewhat excited words: "This is the ultimate secret of the Queen Mother of the West, and this is my end."

"Your end point is the stone ceiling of Queen Mother of the West?" The fat man was a little surprised.

"This is not an ordinary stone, this is a heavenly stone." Chen Wenjin retorted.

"What sky stone? Aren't these all meteorites..." The fat man didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't react until he finished speaking.

"Oh my god, it's killing me, it's so big? You see, such a big meteorite fell from the sky, and it is estimated that this basin was smashed out by it!"

"This is not an ordinary sky stone, it is a meteorite jade..." Chen Wenjin shouted excitedly.

"Meteorite jade? Such a big piece of jade?" Mop exclaimed, does this mean that they are going to get rich?

"Don't think about it, Mop, although it is called jade, it is not made of jade. Besides, even if it is really jade, it is so big that you can't take it away."

The fat man seemed to know what Mop was thinking, and directly shattered his little thoughts.

"There are records of meteorite jade in ancient books, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big piece in the Queen Mother's Palace."

Wu Xie was also very curious about what was in the meteorite jade. It was said that the Queen Mother of the West entered the meteorite jade, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.

"What I'm looking for must be in the meteorite jade." Chen Wenjin said, and wanted to move forward, but was stopped by Wu Xie.

"I know you want to go in, we can't stop you, but you must be careful." When Wu Xie said this, he stuffed something into Chen Wenjin's pocket while no one was paying attention.

Chen Wenjin was so excited that she didn't notice Wu Xie's little move at all.

At this time, the fat man handed Chen Wenjin a rope: "Take this, if there is any unexpected situation, just pull the rope and we will pull you out..."

Chen Wenjin accepted the fat man's kindness, took the rope and jumped onto the entrance of the meteorite jade, and ran up...

Others watched her back disappear at the entrance of the meteorite jade...

......

On Xie Yuchen's side, they were still looking at the mural on the mural.

"Look at this person's clothes, which are exactly the same as the one on the mural in the fake palace. It should be King Mu of Zhou."

"He is in the fake palace and the real palace. What did King Mu of Zhou do to the Queen Mother of the West? Why did the Queen Mother of the West value him so much?" Xie Yuchen was confused.

Black Glasses said two words lightly: "Emotions!"

"Emotions? In this legend, the Queen Mother of the West did meet King Mu of Zhou, but how true do you think this legend is?" Xie Yuchen didn't quite believe this statement.

"Seeing is believing." Black Glasses gestured to Xie Yuchen to look at the murals on the wall. These are the best evidence.

After all, no matter how smart a woman is, once she has real feelings, her IQ is often at zero.

"But this Queen Mother of the West is also a ruthless character. Looking at her reluctant expression, it seems that she has real feelings." Black Glasses said as he looked at the expression of the Queen Mother of the West on the mural.

"If the Queen Mother of the West has real feelings for King Mu of Zhou, she should tell him her longevity technique. Do you still remember the expression of the Queen Mother of the West who looked back every three steps on the mural of the fake palace? She should be looking forward to meeting King Mu of Zhou again." Xie Yuchen guessed.

"Eight horses travel 30,000 miles a day. King Mu, why don't you come back? Unfortunately, he never came back..." Black Glasses sighed with some unclear expression.

"Don't worry about the legend anymore, this thing is the key now." Xie Yuchen saw that he didn't get a response, and looked at Black Glasses in confusion.

But Black Glasses looked thoughtful, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Xie Yuchen pushed his hand: "Hey! What are you thinking about?"

Black Glasses came back to his senses after being pushed, and instantly put away the thoughts on his face: "Nothing."

"It seems that this thing is the ultimate secret of the Queen Mother of the West, and it is also what I am looking for. I guess Wu Xie and Chen Wenjin's goal is to find it." Xie Yuchen looked at a mural on the wall, and he didn't know what it was painted on.

Black Glasses was also looking at the painting, but he couldn't figure it out: "But what is this?"

Black Glasses' words made Xie Yuchen speechless for a moment. After all, he didn't know what it was, so he could only change the subject: "Let's go! Let's go find Wu Xie and the others quickly."

Xie Yuchen and Black Glasses came to a wall without murals and looked at it. Black Glasses looked at some squares on it and said: "Zodiac grid."

Xie Yuchen was also observing this strange wall: "This is a man's head, this is a woman's head, a man's upper body and lower body, a woman's upper body and lower body."

"Are you just playing a puzzle?" Black Glasses asked with a strange look on his face.

"Can the bricks of these two heads... move?" Xie Yuchen asked back. If you want to do a puzzle, you must move some bricks.

After hearing Xie Yuchen's words, Black Glasses deliberately stepped forward and pressed the squares of the two heads, and found that they didn't move at all: "It may take some time."

At this time, the jade figurine that was originally standing on the side moved, no longer the slight trembling of fingers before.

Instead, he turned the hilt of the sword and raised his head quickly. The sound was quite loud in the quiet space, which alarmed Black Glasses and Jie Yuchen.

The two turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, and saw the jade figurines walking towards them. Black Glasses couldn't help but curse inwardly: "This Queen Mother of the West really lays eggs as soon as she finds a nest, making it hard to guard against!"

Looking at the three or four jade figurines coming over, Black Glasses smiled at Jie Yuchen: "Huaer Ye, let's divide the work!"

"I'll deal with the jade figurines, you do the puzzle..." Jie Yuchen only left this sentence and went to meet the jade figurines.

Black Glasses smiled and said: "Simple."

Then, he turned around and began to think seriously about how to put those puzzles together.

After Jie Yuchen fought with those jade figurines for a few times, he found that they couldn't be killed at all. Until he knocked a jade figurine to the ground, and a black-haired snake crawled out of the broken armor.

Only then did Xie Yuchen realize that it was these black-haired snakes that were controlling these jade figurines. He immediately realized that as long as he killed these black-haired snakes, he could immediately eliminate the jade figurines.

So, just as Jie Yuchen finished solving the three jade figurines, three or four more came from around the corner, and one even wanted to attack the black glasses.

Jie Yuchen swung his knife and stabbed it into the back of the jade figurine, then kicked it to the ground.

After killing the jade figurine, Xie Yuchen turned to look at the black glasses: "Can you hurry up?"

"I'm looking for inspiration! Thinking requires meditation. You have to take your time and don't rush." ​​Black Glasses took his time. As he spoke, he motioned for Xie Yuchen to look behind him.

"Watch your back." Black Glasses warned, then turned around to observe the zodiac signs.

Looking at those patterned black glasses that were only half a body or only half a head, he muttered to himself: "That's wrong! Although I don't know much about these ancient costumes, I can still tell clearly whether they are male or female!"

"It is the Queen Mother who studies the method of immortality through the symbiosis of humans and animals. This is a very remarkable thing, and she should take it very seriously."

"Perhaps the mechanism that opens the door is to create a symbiosis between humans and animals, so these bricks should be a cover-up."

Black Glasses nodded as he spoke.

But Jie Yuchen, who had been fighting the jade warriors to death, saw black glasses standing motionless in front of the zodiac wall.

Xie Yuchen couldn't help but ask: "Are you here for tourism?"

"Young man, don't be impatient. I have already thought of a way." Black Glasses still said calmly, without any sense of urgency.

"If you think of a way, just do it quickly!" Xie Yuchen really couldn't stand his nagging look.

"I have thought of a way, but I don't know what to put together!" Black Glasses said helplessly.

After Xie Yuchen finished solving the last jade figurine, his eyes glanced at the small crystal coffins on the table.

"Try this..." As Xie Yuchen said, he kicked two small crystal coffins in the direction of the black glasses.

And Black Glasses also caught the crystal coffins one by one with sharp eyesight and quick hands.

Black Glasses held the crystal coffin, looked at Xie Yuchen who was walking over, and said helplessly: "Master Hua'er, you should help me get one!"

"Isn't this here?" Xie Yuchen walked to Black Glasses and reached out to take a crystal coffin.

Black Glasses looked at the specimen on the crystal coffin, then turned around and glanced at the zodiac grid on the wall, then directly stuffed the crystal coffin into an empty groove under the woman's head.

The crystal coffin fit perfectly with the grooves of the Zodiac, and was the same size. It was embedded in with just one click.

Black Glasses turned around and took the crystal coffin from Xie Yuchen's hand, which was a specimen of a snake's tail. Black Glasses embedded it into another groove below the one he had just placed.

Then, the black glasses looked at the Zodiac again, recalling the murals he had seen before, and murmured to himself: "The woman has the head of a human and the body of a snake. The man has... the head of a human and the body of a centipede."

Black Glasses said, then turned around and walked towards the two remaining crystal coffins beside the stone platform, and Xie Yuchen followed suit.
