Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 16 Savage Ditch Blood Bodhi
Early in the morning, Xiao Ran was awakened by the barking of dogs outside.He hurriedly got up to wash and went out, and saw that Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang had already got up, and they were playing with a few big dogs in the yard.

Three of them were obviously larger in size, with big heads and round eyes, shiny hair and pointed ears, and their barks were loud and loud, which was more like a liger-like roar rolling out of their chests than other hounds' "owwow".

No wonder Hu Bayi said that three mastiffs can tear a human bear to pieces.

There was a young girl standing at the door. She looked young, but there was a heroic spirit in her brows that boys of her age seldom had. She was carrying a shotgun and talking to her father Swallow.

It seems that this is Yingzi, who really lives up to his name.

Xiao Ran couldn't sit idle, so he hurried over to help load the vinegar bucket, crowbar, black donkey's hooves and other things into the carriage, and the group set off in a mighty manner.

Yanzi's father sent several people to Tuanshanzi all the way, and repeatedly told her: "If you can't find it, don't try to find it, come back earlier!"

Along the way, Yingzi led the dog to lead the way, the fat man was in charge of leading the carriage, Hu Bayi was carrying a shotgun and Xiao Ran was behind him, it really felt like learning from the West.

Hu Bayi also told everyone a lot of Fengshui knowledge and the evolution of tombs, while Yingzi told everyone about the evolution and allusions from Pengyue Valley to Dead People Valley and then to Yeren Valley.

Passing by the top of a small hill, Hu Bayi pointed out to others the magnificent scene of "Nine Dragons Covering Jade Lotus" on Niuxin Mountain.

It's a pity that an earthquake has completely destroyed the structure of Niuxin Mountain. Not only has the mountain cracked, but the original Kowloon has also been split and reorganized into five or six waterfalls, and one or two of the waterfalls have so little water that they have turned from dragons into snakes.

Nine Dragons Covering Jade Lotus has completely become a defeat. It can be seen that at least in the matter of Fengshui, most of the human calculations still have to depend on the natural calculations.

Looking at the small square-like green tents at the foot of the mountain, and the busy little black dots, Hu Bayi sighed: "At any rate, those treasures come from the people, and go to the people to complete their historical mission." gone."

Under the arrangement and command of Yingzi, the group ate game and tasted mountain delicacies, just like an outing.Although the three big men were occasionally reprimanded by Yingzi like a little adult because of their playfulness, especially the fat man often deliberately made troubles for her, which made the whole journey full of cheers.

After walking in the mountains for about a week, I finally arrived at the legendary Pengyuegou.Hu Bayi holds a compass in his hand, and according to the sixteen-character feng shui secret technique, he confirms that there must be a large tomb in Pingyuegou, but it needs the moon to rise to confirm, so everyone had to camp and rest first.

Everyone set up camp, set fire to boil water, and the hounds brought back a musk deer, which can be used as today's dinner.While others were discussing the topic of musk, Achilles Jiugui suddenly spoke.

"Old Xiao, 300 meters to the west, dig five inches south of the tree, there is a good thing!"

Xiao Ran picked up a shovel, walked to a thick old tree according to Yau Jiu Kuo's instructions, and started digging.

The fallen leaves under the tree were very thick, say five inches, but after digging the leaves and the soil for nearly a foot, Xiao Ran saw a few dark brown amber-like things in the soil.

"What is this? Isn't it Papa?" Xiao Ran was full of disgust.

"I don't know...have you heard of Bodhisattva fruit? It relieves asthma, relieves cough, replenishes energy, and has the effect of warding off evil spirits and calming the nerves, but those are ordinary products. If the growth roots are different, they will have different effects, such as these few. The first one is the rare blood Bodhi, which grows in..."

"Boss Xiao! What are you doing here by yourself? Yingzi said he was afraid you would get caught in a big smoke, so let me come and see you." Fatty's loud voice came over.

Achilles Jiukuo suddenly said seriously: "Old Xiao, I asked you to persuade this fat man to dispose of Jihui Dan, did you forget? Don't let him come over!"

Hearing that it was rare for him to be so serious, Xiao Ran had to pay attention to it, turned around and waved at the fat man: "It's nothing, Fatty, I'm here to dig a hole and shit, it's nothing!"

After finishing speaking, he hastily buried the blood bodhi again, turned around and walked towards the fat man.The fat man glanced at the place where Xiao Ran dug a hole, he laughed and went back with Xiao Ran to help clean up the dinner.

Today's dinner was grilled venison in a salt bowl. Both Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang seemed full of thoughts, the difference was that one chewed slowly and the other wolfed it down.

After dinner, Hu Bayi took a few people to the Savage Ditch to inspect the terrain and determine the location of the ancient tomb.He looked at the moon in the sky with a compass in his hand, muttering a lot, like Kong Ming setting up a seven-star formation, and finally identified the largest tomb, and left a mark to decide to start work again during the daytime tomorrow.

Back at the camp, Hu Bayi told everyone the common sense of inversion.Xiao Ran closed his eyes and meditated while listening, and suddenly remembered the matter of Xue Bodhi in the afternoon, so he asked Yi Jiuyu: "What is the origin of Xue Bodhi that you are talking about?"

"The blood bodhisattva just now grows on living creatures with spirituality. They use the blood of living creatures to grow themselves, and can also drive living creatures to obey their own orders, and slowly occupy the consciousness of the host. In the end, the host will become half-dead, even In the state of death and life, it will drive the host to bury itself and completely become its nutrient..."

"Good man, listen, it admits this by itself, you must be careful! Sooner or later, the old man will bury you too..." Yin Yang mirror suddenly interrupted.

"You yin-yang slave with a long face and short knowledge, get the hell out of me when I'm talking to Lao Xiao! It's true that I will let Lao Xiao smash you one day!"

"Stop arguing and get down to business. What do you mean, there are living creatures under that blood bodhi? Is it a human or something?" Xiao Ran asked.

"It can't be considered a living thing. Moreover, the size of the blood bodhi is also related to the size of the host. Those few are almost as big as pears, and the host is definitely not small. That's why I said don't let that fat man bring Jifei Dan close , otherwise something big will happen..."

Hearing this, Xiao Ran remembered that he still had to remind the fat man to destroy that crap.You can turn your head, but there is no trace of the fat man.

His heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked Hu Bayi: "Where is Fat Master?!"

Hu Bayi was taken aback for a moment, and said, "He said he had eaten enough to eat at night and went to find a place to shit..."

Thinking of the look in Fatty's eyes in the afternoon, Li Ran yelled in his heart that it was not good, so he hurriedly asked Hu Bayi and Yingzi to get up and look for Fatty, and the two had no choice but to follow Xiao Ran with a shotgun in their bewilderment.

When he was about to run to the big tree, he saw the fat man digging a hole with a shovel from a distance, and then looked carefully at the ground with a flashlight, with a confused look on his face.

Xiao Ran walked up quickly, and the fat man looked embarrassed: "Boss Xiao, I... I'm also here to shit... What the hell is this..."

Xiao Ran looked at the ground, the fat man dug deeper than him, there seemed to be some long black and brown hairs on the roots of the blood bodhi, and there was also a faint rotten smell.

Other than that, there were no other abnormalities, and the surroundings were still a peaceful scene with few stars and a bright moon.

It seems that there will not be any big troubles like what Yasujiu Kuo said.Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the fat man: "We thought you were trapped in a big smoke bubble, so we came to you quickly..."

Just as he was talking, the tiger, the biggest mastiff, suddenly bent down and stared at the ground behind the fat man. The other two mastiffs also bared their teeth one after another, and the other hounds also became restless.

"Good man! There is... corpse aura!" Yin Yang Jing also said at the same time.

Xiao Ran saw that the ground behind the fat man suddenly stirred, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull the fat man.

But he was still one step too late, the ground split open suddenly, a huge object rose from the ground, and even the big tree beside it was shaken tremblingly.Fatty couldn't dodge in time, he was thrown to the ground by this blow, knocking Xiao Ran into a stagger.

A strong stench of corpses instantly filled the surroundings, and the hounds barked fiercely, in exchange for a roar that made everyone's eardrums hurt.

Yingzi's flashlight shone on the giant, and her eyes widened in shock: "Oh my god, this is... a human bear? No, what is this thing?!"
