Tomb Raider Live: Gain Qilin blood at the beginning

The Laughing Buddha said in a deep voice, "Accompany me to Lop Nur."

"Lop Nur? What are you going to do in that ghostly place?"

A look of surprise appeared on Lin You's face involuntarily.

You know, Lop Nur is one of the four major no-man's lands recognized by China, known as the "Sea of ​​Death".

Due to the over-exploitation of human beings, today's Lop Nur is basically an endless desert Gobi. In summer, the temperature can reach up to 70 degrees. There is no tree or bird. It is a frightening death zone.

"I have no way."

The Laughing Buddha smiled wryly: "If I don't go, then I will die."

After saying this, the Laughing Buddha turned over directly on the hospital bed, exposing his back to Lin You.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Youqing couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Because the scene in front of him was too shocking.

The back of the Laughing Buddha is covered with dense black and purple spots, as if suffering from some kind of special skin disease.

Lin You frowned slightly, and immediately asked, "Are you... sick?"

The Laughing Buddha shook his head, and said calmly, "This is not a disease, it's a Gu."

"Corpse rot Gu."

For Lin You, this was the first time he heard of the existence of such a Gu.

However, just by the name, one can tell that this kind of Gu poison is definitely not a good thing.

In other words, those black and purple spots he saw were actually all Gu worms gathered in his body!

Thinking of this, Lin You couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

Then, he asked in a deep voice, "Who put the Gu on you?"

"It's ridiculous to say..."

The Laughing Buddha shook his head helplessly: "I voluntarily accepted this corpse insect rotting Gu."

Afterwards, before Lin You could continue to ask, he continued, "In order to manage the Bronze Tree vertically, all members who voluntarily join the Bronze Tree must be planted with this corpse insect rot."

"And the Bronze Tree will give you an antidote every three months to kill a batch of Gu worms in your body and keep your body in a healthy state."

Lin You was puzzled and said: "These Gu worms exist in your body, wouldn't they have any effect?"

The Laughing Buddha smiled and explained: "These Gu insects are extremely special, and they have been domesticated by Gu masters. As long as the number does not reach a certain level, they will not cause any harm to the human body."

"It's like the roundworm in your stomach. Although it lives in your body, its harm to you is very limited."

"I get it roughly."

Lin You nodded, and then asked again: "What will happen if these Gu worms multiply to a certain number?"

The Laughing Buddha suppressed the smile on his face, and said calmly: "Then these Gu worms will continue to corrode your body, make your whole body fester, and continue to eat your internal organs, making you die in the most painful way in the world. , until you are completely turned into a puddle of corpse water."

Lin You's heart trembled, and she said in a low voice, "Very poisonous Gu technique."

"There is no way, these are the leaders of the Bronze Tree to prevent their members from betraying the organization."

The Laughing Buddha said in a deep voice, "For example...a traitor like me."

"Then how long has it been since you took the antidote?"

Lin You looked at his back covered with black and purple markings, and asked in a low voice.

"It's been a year."

The Laughing Buddha said calmly: "However, before I betrayed the organization, I secretly got some antidote, so I was able to live until now."

"But...the people who betrayed the organization with me are not so lucky."

"I saw their bodies rotting day by day with my own eyes. Their internal organs festered like rotten cotton wool. Even the blood that spit out from their mouths was black. They died one by one in front of us."

Although the Laughing Buddha's tone was quite calm, Lin You could feel the sadness contained in this calmness, just like the turbulent undercurrent in the bottom of the sea.

He didn't say much, because he could feel the pain of the other party.

The despair and pain of seeing one's companions die one after another in front of one's eyes, but oneself is powerless.

Especially, if he doesn't find a solution as soon as possible, even he himself will follow in the footsteps of these people and die miserably in despair.

"In Lop Nur, can we find an antidote to this poison?"

After being silent for a while, Lin You suddenly asked.

In his opinion, the words of the Laughing Buddha must not be illogical.

Since he mentioned Lop Nur first, and then mentioned the poison on his body, it means that there must be a connection between the two.

The Laughing Buddha nodded, and said in a deep voice: "To be precise, the solution to the Gu poison is not in Lop Nur, but in the ruins of the ancient Loulan country!"

Lin You was slightly taken aback: "The ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom?"

Chapter 128 Haven't You Considered Directly Facing Flowers...

The ancient country of Loulan.

A country that has always been shrouded in mystery.

"Hanshu" once recorded the ecological environment of the ancient country of Loulan: "The land is sandy and bittern, and there are few fields, and the fields are sent to the valleys to divide the country. The country produces jade, and there are many reeds, willows, orchids, and white grass. The people follow the livestock. Chasing water and grass. There are donkeys and horses, and many camels. They can be soldiers, just like the Rao Qiang."

At that time, the ancient country of Loulan could be called a "desert continent".

However, such a prosperous ancient country died out after only a few hundred years.

Regarding the disappearance of the ancient country of Loulan, there is still no definite answer.

Some people say that the ancient country of Loulan was invaded by the northern countries when it was weak, and the city of Loulan was destroyed and abandoned.

It is also said that a plague swept Loulan, a large number of people died, and the survivors fled one after another.

However, the most realistic guess should be due to climate reasons.

Lop Nur gradually became dry, and the surrounding temperature continued to rise, gradually becoming an uninhabitable place of death.

Under such circumstances, the ancient Loulan people had no choice but to leave their homeland, which eventually led to the complete demise of the ancient Loulan country.
