Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 179

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to that golden melting face, Xiao Ran quickly raised his leg and kicked it against the wall, loosened his hand and released it, and jumped behind the golden man with a somersault.

The golden man stood up slowly, pulled out the knife on his head and threw it at li xuan with a wave.Xiao Ran turned sideways hurriedly, the blade flew past his clothes and was nailed to the ground.

The red light on the knife disappeared, and he heard Guan Shandao scold angrily: "You idiot! Just leave me alone! What were you hiding just now? Why didn't you stab you to death!"

Xiao Ran took out the Guanshan knife and put it back into its sheath, and saw that the dent on the top of the golden man's head was healing little by little.

"Tsk tsk tsk... This lunatic really turned himself into a golden corpse, but it's a pity that he can't wait for the fire, so he can only turn into a living dead, and he will always be half dead." Achilles Jiugui sneered.

Xiao Ran was shocked and said: "This is that Xia Qiusheng? His so-called Golden Corpse Pill of Immortality is actually turning himself into a golden corpse by alchemy?"

Yarrow Jiukuo said: "I told you, there are many ways to achieve immortality, and there are corresponding costs. The more eager for quick success, the heavier the price. Like him, even if he succeeds, he will always be A piece of gold can neither ascend to immortality nor experience the pleasures of ordinary people. Although you can live forever, you can still feel the pain of injuries and illnesses. In fact, you will suffer forever and never enjoy happiness. Do you want this kind of longevity?"

This is the first time Xiao Ran heard that the so-called longevity has such an ending.Xia Qiusheng, the golden corpse in front of him, seems to have lost his basic sanity. I don't know if he is still awake and sees himself like this, will he regret the so-called immortality.

But right now, there is really no way to send him away completely. We can only hope that there is some mechanism inside that can open the stone gate.

Fortunately, the golden man in front of him, or Xia Qiusheng could not hear, but could only see the light.Xiao Ran lightly jumped to the back of Xia Qiusheng's side, and shone a flashlight on the stone bed on the other side.Seeing a light ahead, Xia Qiusheng stomped after him while roaring.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xiao Ran rushed to the outside of the wooden door and joined Liu Shengli and Xu Er.Seeing the two of them huddled by the stone gate and looking at each other, Xiao Ran asked: "What are you two doing?"

Liu Shengli picked up a broken wooden handle, while Xu Er pointed to the wall.

Beside the stone door, there is a metal groove that has been smashed into a depression and deformed. It seems that the original position of the wooden handle was completely scrapped by the pill furnace cover that flew over just now.This is different from the broken switch outside, even if Xiao Ran pointed his fingers, it couldn't be solved.

"Xiao...Xiao Gang, can't we...can't get out..." Xu Er asked tremblingly.

The biggest crisis now is not to find a way out, but to close the stone door, and the air in the alchemy room will be exhausted slowly.Xiao Ran hastily flipped through his bag, thinking that a dead horse should be a living horse doctor, at least find out if there is any medicine that can lower the heart rate, maybe it can save some oxygen.

The notebook of Xia Qiusheng fell on the ground, Xiao Ran took a photo with his flashlight, and saw that on the last page, there were four lines of words that he hadn't had time to read clearly just now.

"Holding the crown and taking the shoes, sweeping the shoulders left and right. Stepping with both feet, looking for another cave."

Xiao Ran pondered over these few words, his crown on his shoulders... He suddenly thought of something.

At this moment, a strange cry sounded not far away, Xia Qiusheng probably saw the faint fire outside the wooden door, and was touching it.

"Go in first, and it's over if he gets stuck in here."

The space between the stone door and the wooden door is too small, once Xia Qiusheng and the three of them share this room, the three of them will be torn apart.

As long as it is related to escape, Liu Shengli will never be left behind.As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, he rushed back into the stone gate like a loach, looked at Xia Qiusheng who was walking over, and shrank back to the collapsed stove with a "ouch".

Xiao Ran took the torch in Xu Er's second hand, pushed Xu Er in, and followed him into the stone gate at the end.

The two of them almost walked close to Xia Qiusheng, Xia Qiusheng saw the torch in Xiao Ran's hand, raised his hand and patted it.Xiao Ran bent over and rolled, Xia Qiusheng's heavy golden hand slammed down a wooden door, making a "click".If it was a person who was photographed just now, it is estimated that the brains have burst.

Xiao Ran took the opportunity to rush to the stone bed, watched Xia Qiusheng get up and rushed towards him again, and shouted at Liu Shengli: "Go on!"

The torch drew an arc in the sky, and Xiao Ran also took the opportunity to shrink aside.Xia Qiusheng turned around awkwardly, saw the torch in Liu Shengli's hand, and rushed towards Liu Shengli again.

Liu Shengli didn't react for a while, and was a little frightened when he saw the half-human, half-corpse with gold on his body rushing towards him.Xiao Ran shouted to him to avoid, but he didn't respond at all.

In a crisis, a stone bullet flew towards Xia Qiusheng's head and was deeply embedded in it.Xia Qiusheng shook his body and froze in place for a while, holding the stone bullet on his head with his rough fingers.

Xu Er on the side put away his slingshot, leaned over quickly, and pulled Liu Shengli aside.

"You two throw torches to lure him away, and I'll find a way out! Liu Shengli, be smart!"

Seeing that Xu Er had rescued Liu Shengli, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed to the stone bed with a flashlight, and carefully inspected the hidden bookshelf on the stone wall.

The four formulas on the last page of Xia Qiusheng's Notes should refer to the order of the nine palaces.If you find an institution related to the ninth house, you can find a hidden location, at least you don't have to be in the same room with this living golden corpse that can't be destroyed.

So his idea was to let Xu Er and Liu Shengli use torches to lure Xia Qiusheng away in turn so that he could use the flashlight.

He looked back at the two of them, and saw that Xu Er and Liu Shengli seemed to have mastered the trick. When either of them held a torch, he would throw the torch before Xia Qiusheng approached, and he would get out of the way in advance.

Fortunately, Xia Qiusheng was mentally handicapped and extremely heavy, otherwise these two would not be enough for him to play alone.

Xiao Ran checked the bookshelf with a flashlight in peace of mind, there were sixteen neatly arranged bookshelves, but he took down all the broken books and waste volumes, and he didn't see any mechanism hidden in any of the boxes.

If it's not a bookshelf, then it can only be...

He then shone the flashlight on the shelf where the alchemy was placed. There were also sixteen grids on it, and perhaps nine of them corresponded to the Jiugong mechanism.

Xia Qiusheng turned his head just as the flashlight was on.Xiao Ran was startled, and quickly turned off the flashlight, but Xia Qiusheng just shook his head, and went to chase the torch again.

Xiao Ran rushed to the shelf, carefully watching Xia Qiusheng's gaze, and carefully looking for any possible marks on the shelf.

The flashlight scanned the corner of one of the racks, and there was a simple six-handed and four-legged figure drawn there, which was the same as the shape on the copper lump that opened the underground secret passage of Xia Niang Temple.

He hurriedly followed the edge of the shelf carefully, and sure enough, he found three other six-handed and four-legged figures.These four patterns lock exactly nine grids.

Xiao Ran was overjoyed, and carefully inspected the nine grids, and sure enough, he found an inconspicuous round stone button on the wall behind each grid.

Next, as long as you press these stone buttons in the order mentioned in the formula, you should be able to open a certain secret door.

He was about to reach out, but he heard heavy footsteps behind him, and Xu Er and Liu Shengli shouted at the same time: "Be careful!"
