Chapter 522 Find the Eighth Layer
Mu Qinghan was not in a hurry to go down.
Chi Wenxuan said that the newcomer could only go down to the fourth time at most, and the reason why he was so sure that Mu Qinghan guessed that there must be a reason for this!
Although the stairs coming down were spiraling down, this did not prevent Mu Qinghan from drawing a simple map in his mind.
The staircase spirals downwards into seven branches, and with the addition of the one under his feet, the staircase leads to eight directions.
Xiang Hui said that there are many doors on each floor, so it can be speculated that these stairs actually lead to eight different entrances.
"These doors should be the problem, newcomers don't know the secrets, so they can only go down to the fourth floor at most. β
"Eight entrances... From the distribution point of view, they are east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest. Mu Qinghan frowned, "According to Fuxi's innate gossip, Qianwei is the sky in the south, Kun is the earth in the north, Kan is the moon in the west, Li is the sun in the east, Xun is the wind in the southwest, earthquake is thunder in the northeast, Dui is Ze in the southeast, and Gen is the mountain in the northwest. β
Mu Qinghan is naturally very familiar with gossip!
It's just that the question now is, which door should I choose when I find the direction of these eight doors?
"Yanjing is buried deep in the earth, Kun is the meaning of the soil, it seems that the Kun position should be the main position, all the way to the south. However, this tower is inverted, that is, the meaning of the reversal of the universe, then it should be taken as the ground, that is to say, it should be the main position of the Qian, and it should go to the north. β
Mu Qinghan glanced at the north that represented the cadre position, and the route Xiang Hui and the others took just now should be in this direction.
In this way, Xiang Hui and the others may also think so. β
From this point of view, Mu Qinghan's initial inference was correct, the doors on each floor of the Yanjing Fallen Tower were not opened casually. Opening that door directly determines how many floors you can eventually reach.
And Xiang Hui and the others obviously chose to go through the door of the dry position.
Mu Qinghan frowned, his inference about the position was not wrong, but he still felt a little problematic.
In other words, since Xiang Hui and they could think of it, then others might also think of it, but why did no one still be able to go down to the eighth layer?
Chi Wenxuan had no intention of mentioning it before, and now no one has even found the door on the eighth floor!
The biggest possibility is that Xiang Hui and their choice is wrong.
On the other hand, there are actually two algorithms for the eight directions corresponding to the eight trigrams, one is the Fuxi innate gossip that is positioned by heaven and earth, and the other is the acquired gossip that is based on water and fire.
Yanjing upside down tower heaven and earth upside down, this is almost a clear indication, heaven and earth upside down, the most appropriate positioning is to position heaven and earth, then it should be based on Fuxi innate gossip to calculate the direction.
In fact, using the direction calculated by Fu Xi's innate gossip, one can take a person to the seventh layerβthis is already the best result so far.
But it's only to the seventh floor, and it's hard to get in!
So no one has tried the gossip the day after tomorrow? Someone has definitely tried it! Since this road is not working, someone must find another way.
But the problem is, there is still no one who can make it past the seventh layer!
Mu Qinghan couldn't think of how to choose for a while, but sharpening the knife was not a mistake for a woodcutter, so he was not in a hurry, he simply sat on the ground and thought.
After pondering for a moment, Mu Qinghan's gaze was suddenly attracted by a small thing in front of him.
This is the camera he just threw away, and he doesn't want others to know his exact location, just leave a radio and GPS to report safety.
At this point, the camera is lying on the ground, facing the overhead...
When Mu Qinghan raised his head and looked at the top of his head, the whole person was suddenly stunned.
Overhead is the old gymnasium of Yenching University, which contains many training rooms.
However, although these cultivation rooms are relatively concentrated, there is no rule, and the orientation of the first-level cultivation room with the best effect is in the southeast direction, not the cadre position, nor the kun position.
This made Mu Qinghan suddenly wake up.
Now he was almost certain that the aura in the cultivation room must have come from this inverted tower, according to the reason, the strongest aura was either the dry position or the kun position, but the first-level cultivation room was in the southeast direction.
Mu Qinghan stood up, "Ordinary martial artists don't know the existence of aura, so they can't imagine that the direction of the inverted tower can be deduced from the direction of the cultivation room, but the strongest aura is actually in the southeast direction, no wonder people can't find it." β
Judging the direction through the distribution of the cultivation room, it is true that only Mu Qinghan can do it, in the eyes of others, they at most think that the effect of the cultivation room comes from the formations in the cultivation room, but they don't know that these formations only have the effect of gathering aura, and the direction of the aura-filled is naturally more than the aura gathered.
Mu Qinghan recalled the route down, walked back a few floors, and walked along the branch road to the southeast of Yanjing Fallen Tower.
"There are tens of millions of people who have come here to explore, not to mention tens of millions of times, and they haven't found the entrance to the eighth floor, so it seems that there must be articles below. β
At this time, Mu Qinghan had already lost touch with the big army, but he didn't want too many people to see him.
The steps continued downward, until a stone door appeared in front of Mu Qinghan, Mu Qinghan shone the side with a flashlight, and to his surprise, he couldn't see the adjacent stone door!
This discovery really surprised Mu Qinghan, the flashlight of the Martial Arts Club is a strong photoelectric flashlight, and the wick is imported from the United States, which can illuminate a distance of 300 to 500 meters!
In other words, the octagonal Yanjing Inverted Tower, each side of at least more than 500 meters! This is only a conservative estimate, the light can only shine 500 meters, does not mean that this distance is only 500 meters, a thousand meters is possible!
But in any case, even if calculated according to the side length of 500 meters, this Yanjing inverted tower buried deep in the soil is definitely a behemoth!
The steps are disconnected from each other, and there is no corridor around the perimeter of the tower, which means that once you choose which path you choose, you will only end up with the corresponding stone gate.
Mu Qinghan no longer looked at the surrounding situation, and shone the flashlight at the stone door in front of him.
The stone gate was closed, there was no mechanism around, Mu Qinghan found that there were still handprints left between the two stone gates, and immediately understood what was going on.
Those who break into the tower need to break open two stone doors with both hands to enter the first floor.
Mu Qinghan pinned the flashlight to his waist, broke open the stone door with both hands, flashed, and entered the first floor of the Yanjing Fallen Tower.
After Mu Qinghan just entered the stone gate, the stone gate slammed shut.
Mu Qinghan took the flashlight and began to check the situation on the first floor.
In this layer, there was no one! Or rather, Mu Qinghan didn't see anyone for the time being.
There are treasures on each floor of the Yanjing Fallen Tower? It's a pity that Mu Qinghan doesn't think that after so many years, there are any treasures on the first layer that is the easiest to enter, and his goal is very simple, that is, to keep going down.
"It's such a big place, I don't know where the stairs to the second floor are. Mu Qinghan raised his flashlight and began to walk towards the center of this floor.
In a typical tower, the staircase is most likely in three places, in the outer corridor, on the inside against the wall, or in the middle of the tower.
There is no passage on the outside of this tower, and when Mu Qinghan came in, he didn't see a staircase by the wall, so the staircase is most likely in the center of this floor.
The pillar of light formed by the strong flashlight in Mu Qinghan's hand swayed left and right in the empty and dark fallen tower, and the echo formed by his footsteps was the only sound in this silent place.
The area of this floor should be very large, but Mu Qinghan didn't go far before he found that he was blocked by a wall in front of him.
After going around the wall, Chu Mo roughly understood the structure of the wall.
The walls of this wall are like a slightly smaller octagon in an inverted tower.
On this wall, there are eight gates evenly distributed.
Mu Qinghan shook his head, obviously, this was another choice.
The Yanjing Fallen Tower is not only amazingly large, but also more like a labyrinth inside, which is extremely complicated.
Mu Qinghan had already determined that each time he chose a different door, the area he entered was different, just now he chose the door in the southeast direction, and now he has to choose one of the eight gates, which is equivalent to choosing one of the 64 possibilities.
In this way, although there are more than 200 people in the Martial Arts Club, there are only 45 teams in total, and the further down you go, the less likely you are to encounter other groups.
The route Mu Qinghan chose was based on the intensity of the aura, and he didn't know if this choice was correct, but since he chose it this way at the beginning, he didn't think about what direction was wrong later, just follow the aura.
Interestingly, the direction of the strongest aura this time was not the southwest gate that he was facing when he entered, but due west.
The west door, the handprints on the door, and the smooth stone surface of the door all show that the way to open the door is to force the door open.
"The first door just now requires about 500 catties of strength to open, and I don't know how much force is needed for this door. β
Mu Qinghan put his hands on the crack of the door, slowly strengthened, and when it was about 1,000 catties, the stone doors on the left and right sides slowly moved to both sides, and the door opened!
"The power required for the second gate has doubled?" Mu Qinghan said indifferently.
Behind this door, there is a flight of stairs that leads to the second level.
Although the structure of the fallen tower is extremely complicated, Mu Qinghan has never encountered any danger, and the poisonous beast that Chi Wenxuan said has not encountered a single one, and it is estimated that it is because of this that Xiang Hui and they will rest assured that they will let the newcomers come down to explore.
After descending to the second floor, Mu Qinghan quickly discovered an octagonal wall, and the direction of the aura was northwest.
On the third floor, the same hall is like a matryoshka doll, layer upon layer, and each time it goes deeper, it approaches the center of the tower.
This is the fourth door that Mu Qinghan opened, and the strength required to open this door has climbed to 4,000 catties!
After Mu Qinghan entered the fourth floor, he turned around and looked at the stone gate behind him.
"No wonder you have to form a team, it's not that there is any danger in the tower, if you break into the tower alone, you need at least a grandmaster-level powerhouse to open this door. β
At the beginning of the Taiji Shield, the limit of Mu Haotian and the others was about 100 times the gravity, about 15,000 catties, but it did not mean that they had 15,000 catties of strength in their hands, and they could open the 4,000 catties stone gate with their bare hands, and they needed at least one layer of Ascending Cloud Grandmaster.
Of course, Mu Qinghan's physical strength and internal strength explosion far surpassed those of ordinary martial artists, and this gate did not stump him.
After going down the stairs, Mu Qinghan had officially entered the fourth floor, and he had already gained 800 points.
At this time, it had been more than two hours since Mu Qinghan entered the fallen tower, and along the way, Xiang Hui was communicating with the leaders of each group through radio.
Xiang Hui's team was the last to enter the fallen tower, and every time he went down to the floor, he would notify the other teams on the floor to ensure the safety of each team.
"Inform me again, we are now on the fourth floor, have all the rookie teams been safely evacuated?39 to 44 team leaders, you can report on the progress of the group. β
"President, Group 39 is on the first floor, we haven't found the entrance to the next floor for a long time, and we are now evacuating. β
"Group 41 has completed the evacuation, the exploration floor is the third floor, and we have not found the entrance to the fourth floor. β
"Group 44 is being evacuated on the fourth floor, and the entrance to the fifth floor has not been found. β
"Group 40 has been evacuated, we only went down to the second floor, how did you find the entrance to the third floor? We searched for a long time, and we searched every corner but couldn't find it. β
These groups are all pure newcomer groups, and several team leaders have reported the progress of each group one after another.
The newcomer is the fourth layer, which is what everyone expected.
"President, I'm Ji Tai, the leader of the 43 group, and now our group has entered the fifth layer, and is currently trying to open the stone door to the sixth layer, but this door is really a bit heavy, we tried twice without success, everyone's internal energy consumption is very large, and now I plan to breathe for a while, and wait for the last attempt. β
In the public channel, more than 40 team leaders exploded at once.
"Yes, yes, I actually went down to the fifth floor for the first time. β
"It's really not easy, the strength and luck are quite good, they should have thought of the direction of the entrance, if they chose the four gates on the east half at the beginning, then they couldn't even find the entrance to the second floor. β
"yes, it's brave and resourceful. β
Some of the newcomers can understand the discussion of the old people, while others are still confused.
Xiang Hui spoke.
"What are you talking about, now that the newcomers think we are deliberately hiding something!"
Since someone has already said that the problem of orientation has been raised, Xiang Hui also has to explain it in advance.
"In this way, Group 43 is still trying to enter the sixth layer, and when it comes to such a deep place, it is already very troublesome to rescue, so let's wait for a while, and the other teams will be on standby. By the way, I would like to take this time to say a few words about the entrance to the fallen tower. β
"Everyone should have noticed that there are many entrances on each floor of the inverted tower, and some of these entrances can lead to the next floor, and some of them can't, so some teams can't find the entrance to the next floor when they get to the first and second floors. β
"I need to explain this, this is not our old man bullying the newcomer, this is the rule formulated by the martial arts club for nearly 30 years, and the newcomer's exploration must be completely left to the newcomer himself. The purpose of this is also very simple, if we blindly follow the known route, we can get points, but it is not good for us to explore the fallen tower at all. If the predecessors did not enter the deeper place, and we followed the predecessors, then we will probably never be able to find the part below the seventh layer, and the free exploration of the new people may bring new possibilities, which is what we need most. β
"So don't be unbalanced, including me, each of us came over like this, and other newcomers are also exploring under the same conditions, your results are not ideal, find the reason from yourself!"
Xiang Hui explained very clearly, since everyone is the same, there is nothing to complain about.
"It's the president, and we don't have an imbalance. The rookie team leaders replied one after another.
Not long after, news came from Group 43 that their last attempt had failed.
"Ji Tai, your performance has been very good, and now the team members are very consumed, so go back to rest the same way. Other groups, keep going!"
After Xiang Hui sent the order, Xu Weiwei suddenly frowned and reminded him, "No, we're not a group of 45, no, boss, we seem to have forgotten someone!"
After such a reminder, Xiang Hui's eyes widened instantly, yes, they really forgot about someone.
"What are you afraid of, that kid must have gone back a long time ago, even if he chose the right direction, but with his strength, he can't open the second door at all, don't ask on the radio, it's not good to hurt people's self-esteem." β
............
Mu Qinghan didn't know that he was being talked about at this time.
At this time, Mu Qinghan sat on the seventh floor to rest.
The door of the seventh layer just now requires 32,000 catties of strength, which has reached his limit, and after opening the door just now, his internal energy consumption is also huge, and he just took the opportunity to rest.
However, what made Mu Qinghan quite pleased was that Xiang Hui and the others had said that no one had found the entrance to the eighth floor until now, but now, there were two extremely heavy stone gates erected in front of him, and the height of the stone gates was more than twenty meters.
The route he chose, which eventually led him to the entrance to the eighth floor!
