Tomb Raider: The comprehension is against the sky, and the achievement is indestructible

Chapter 18: Millennium Mystery, Immortality

Just as the mechanism of the jade bed was activated and the arrows were suddenly shot out, Su Mo suddenly leaped to the young man's side, drew out the Frost Moon Sword and directly chopped off the arrows in front of him.

The young man looked at Su Mo in shock, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

If it weren't for Su Mo, he would have been shot by an arrow at the very least.

The mechanical arrows found in these ancient tombs usually carry a deadly poison. Even if he has Qilin blood, he would be unable to recover after being hit by the arrow and the poison.

"Thank you!"

The young man was very frugal with words, and only said two words: thank you.

But there was a bit more respect and gratitude towards Su Mo in his words.

As a member of the Zhang family, he found the Ghost Seal not only to protect the Queen Mother of the West and the ultimate secret, but also to find many of his own memories. That's why he pretended to chase the fat man before and wanted to get to the Hydra cypress tree first. It was not that he deliberately deceived Su Mo.

Su Mo had helped him once in the waterway, so he no longer had any doubts about Su Mo.

What's more, Su Mo saved his life again at this moment!
At this moment, the fat man suddenly jumped up from under the jade bed.

The female corpse in white gauze somehow turned into someone lying on her back with her hands wrapped around his neck, tightly around his neck like a silk thread.

His eyes were full of madness, and he suddenly pounced on Uncle Wu who was standing beside him.

Uncle Wu was startled and quickly jumped aside, cursing:

"Fatty, you're crazy!"

The fat man made strange noises but didn't answer and continued to pounce on him.

Uncle Wu hurriedly ran around the jade bed and came behind Su Mo and the little brother:
"This fat guy is crazy!"

As he spoke, the fat man had already pounced in front of Su Mo and grabbed Su Mo's neck with both hands.

Just as he stretched out his hand to Su Mo, Su Mo grabbed the female corpse's hands on her neck.

Click!

The female corpse's hands that were wrapped around the fat man's neck were instantly broken by Su Mo, and then she was pulled off the fat man and thrown onto the jade bed.

The female corpse fell on the bed and was about to rise again when Su Mo suddenly stabbed it in the heart with a sword, piercing it through.

A thick corpse smell gushed out from its wound, and then its body quickly dried up and wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon its skin became yellow and wrinkled like dry leaves.

As the corpse gas leaked out of the female corpse, the fat man gradually woke up, but there were two blue bruises on his neck caused by the female corpse.

If the hands had been untied from his neck later, he would have been strangled to death by now.

Su Mo used the Taiyin visualization method to carefully look down at the bronze fox-faced corpse and the female corpse, but found that there was no sign of corpse pills on their bodies, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

These two corpses do not seem to be zombies in the common sense, so there are no corpse-breeding pills.

Although they have been dead for thousands of years, they can still release the circular light technique when triggered by living people, which is very strange.

The fat man glared at the female corpse with gritted teeth:
"Damn it, this female Zongzi has really taken a fancy to your fat uncle, and she wouldn't let me go!"

Uncle Wu couldn't help laughing and said, "Yes, she wants to keep you here to live together, but the owner of this fox face might not agree. How about you two duel again?"

"Come on, I think you two are a good match!"

Although the fat man was repeatedly humiliated, he refused to give in. After replying to his uncle, he lowered his head and used the bronze key that he had taken out of the female corpse's mouth to poke at the eight-layer treasure box.

After the bronze key was inserted into the keyhole and turned twice, the eight-fold treasure box made a slight clicking sound and then split into eight petals in the middle.

But it was empty inside!

The fat man couldn't help but feel a little disappointed:

"Fuck! This female corpse is held in my arms like a treasure. I thought there was something good inside, but it turns out to be empty!"

The young man and Uncle Wu couldn't help but look disappointed when they saw that the eight-layer treasure box was empty.

They originally thought that the Ghost Seal was in the Eight-Layer Treasure Box, but it turned out not to be here.

However, Su Mo turned his gaze to the Hydra cypress behind him.

The female corpse on the jade bed was probably King Lu Shang’s beloved concubine.

And this bronze fox-faced corpse should be Tie Miansheng who helped King Shang of Lu seize the tomb of King Mu of Zhou.

This Lu Palace was actually not originally the tomb of King Lu Shang, but of King Mu of Zhou!

According to legend, King Mu of Zhou rode a chariot with eight horses driven by Zaofu westward to Mount Kunlun and met the Queen Mother of the West.

In the Yaochi Lake, Queen Mother of the West entertained King Mu of Zhou warmly. Before leaving, Queen Mother of the West gave King Mu of Zhou an elixir of immortality.

However, this elixir of life has side effects. After a certain period of time, he must use special methods to put himself into a dormant state, otherwise the corpse-eating bugs in the elixir will enter his brain and turn him into a mindless creature like a walking corpse.

The forbidden women in the underwater tomb of the South China Sea and the Golmud sanatorium are the products of the transformation after the corpse-eating pills entered their brains!
If he suddenly stops dormant after entering it, he will turn into a bloody corpse.

Only after dormant in the jade figurine armor for a period of time, shedding his skin every five hundred years, and undergoing several rebirths, can he be reborn to offset the side effects of the corpse-eating pill!

King Mu of Zhou lived to be 105 years old and died of natural causes. There are many different opinions about where he was buried.

In fact, he was not dead, but hid himself in a jade figurine to sleep for a long period of dormancy, and his real tomb was located in the Palace of Prince Lu!

During the Warring States Period, there was a King Lu Shang in the State of Lu. Once, while robbing a tomb, he killed a giant python and found a ghost seal in the snake's belly. He was able to command the ghost soldiers and from then on helped the State of Lu fight for many years and established great achievements.

Then, King Lu Shang met Tie Miansheng, who told him that in ancient times King Mu of Zhou had a jade armor that could make people immortal after wearing it.

King Lu Shang then searched everywhere for the tomb of King Mu of Zhou, and finally found the Western Zhou imperial tomb in this mountain. He then freed King Mu of Zhou who was hiding in the jade figurine armor, turned him into a bloody corpse, and then suppressed him in a stone coffin.

Then he killed all the people involved in the incident, leaving Tie Miansheng and his beloved concubine buried alive on the jade bed, and then he prepared to put on the jade armor himself and enjoy the power of immortality on behalf of King Mu of Zhou!
In the original book, the guy said that the person who actually wore the jade armor instead of King Mu of Zhou was Tie Miansheng.

This man was proficient in the art of Qimen Bagua, Feng Shui and divination, and could be considered extremely wise. The reason why he instructed King Lu Shang to steal the tomb of King Mu of Zhou was so that he could achieve immortality.

After King Lu Shang untied the jade armor on King Zhou Mu and King Zhou Mu was suppressed and turned into a bloody corpse, Tie Miansheng killed King Lu Shang, put a bronze fox mask on his face, and left the round light technique on him and his concubine.

But no matter whether the bronze fox-faced corpse on the jade bed is Tie Miansheng or King Lu Shang, the real coffin is not here, it can only be in the Hydra cypress tree!
