Chapter 788: The Ghost Strikes the Wall
In fact, this is not just a little rare, but particularly rare, after all, the history of Chu to the Song Dynasty has spanned thousands of years, during which after countless dynasties and wars, civilization has also made great progress, and the wizards of Chu can be passed down, and they can also have the strength to create such a magnificent tomb, which is really unlikely.

But then again, the facts are in front of them, and they can't afford not to believe them.
As an archaeological expert, Lu Wenle attaches great importance to this male corpse, so he is very worried about the destruction of the environment, which will lead to problems with the corpse, and hurriedly wants Meng Zitao to cover the coffin.
Except for this male corpse, Meng Zitao did not find anything special from the sarcophagus, but he had not seen the back of the coffin, so he turned the coffin lid over, but then, he was stunned.
It turned out that there were also some portraits painted on the lid of this coffin, and it was not any other portrait, it was the portrait of the Nine Sons of the Dragon, which was very similar to the statues of the Sons of the Dragon he obtained.
In addition, there are also six golden inscriptions engraved on it, "Nine dragons, the sun rises", which is somewhat inexplicable.
"What does this mean?" Lu Wenle muttered in surprise.
Meng Zitao came back to his senses from his surprise and said in his heart: "Does this sentence mean that after obtaining relevant things, you can soar in the day? ”
Although Meng Zitao has the ability to ascend in the day, he is an immortal, is there really an immortal in this world? He found it difficult to imagine, so he felt that this "day-rising sun" was probably talking about something else.
At this time, I heard Lu Wenle say: "Zitao, do you mean that after getting something related to the nine sons of the dragon, you can become an immortal?"
Considering that the six statues of the Son of the Dragon in his hand were likely to be quite extraordinary, he shook his head and didn't say much: "Maybe, didn't the ancients all want to become immortals? Moreover, this is still the tomb of a wizard, and it is normal to want to become an immortal." ”
Lu Wenle agreed and said: "What does this mean, it won't be clear in a while, let's go out first." ”
Meng Zitao re-closed the lid of the coffin: "Then let's check if there are other passages in the room first, and if not, go to the passage on the right." ”
"Good ......"
Tightly, the two of them searched carefully in the stone room, did not let go of every corner, and indeed did not find any more mechanisms.
In that case, they can only enter the passage on the right and hope to be able to get out.
Considering just in case, Meng Zitao brought some water and compressed biscuits when he went down to the cave before, and before entering the passage on the right, they first filled their stomachs to replenish their strength.
Meng Zitao checked Lu Wenle's wound again, and when he saw that the recovery was relatively normal, he began to set off.
When they were in the stone room, they didn't feel that when they entered this passage, Meng Zitao and Lu Wenle both felt a cold water with an earthy smell blowing, and they didn't feel it at first, but then it became colder and colder, especially Lu Wenle's face was even paler.
Worried that Lu Wenle's body would not be able to stand it, Meng Zitao handed a small bottle to Lu Wenle: "Senior brother, take a sip, this is medicinal wine, which invigorates the blood." ”
Lu Wenle didn't hold it up, took the bottle and took a sip, only to feel that a fire dragon that was not too strong stretched from his throat to the dantian, and he felt that the cold was forced out of his body, and his body was a lot more relaxed.
Lu Wenle sighed with emotion: "This is a good thing, where did it come from?"
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "This is my own match, I will give you some when I go out, it is still very good for my muscles and bones, but I can't drink more." ”
"Thank you so much. "Lu Wenle spends at least half of the year in the field archaeology, and there are still some minor physical problems, and this medicinal wine is perfect for him.
"We don't have to be so polite. ”
Meng Zitao smiled, saw that Lu Wenle was much better, and proposed to move on.
The two walked for a while, and found that the stone bricks of the alleyway had changed, and on the wall on the right, there were permanent lights.
Meng Zitao carefully observed the surroundings, and found that every once in a while, an identical lantern appeared on the wall, and after walking for a while, he felt that something was not right, and he stopped and pondered.
"What's wrong?" Lu Wenle hurriedly asked.
"Senior brother, we've been walking for so long, do you have the feeling that you've been spinning in circles?" Meng Zitao replied.
"Are you saying that we encountered a 'ghost hitting the wall'?" Lu Wenle also reacted immediately, and his expression was a little shocked.
Meng Zitao said: "It's not so much a ghost hitting the wall, it's a feng shui formation. ”
"Makes sense, but if that's the case, what can we do?" Lu Wenle looked around and found that the surrounding scenes were all the same, and it was easy to have the illusion of spinning in place in this environment.
In addition, although Lu Wenle is an archaeological expert, he is also well-informed, but what he usually encounters is basically a normal situation, and when he encounters such a thing, he is completely blind, and he doesn't know how to solve it at all.
Meng Zitao thought for a while and said, "It's still a simple way, make a mark." Let's see. ”
"Good. ”
Meng Zitao used the sword to make a mark under the ever-bright lamp as he walked, and when he drew to 49, the two found that there was a big "1" under the ever-bright lamp in front of them, and they had returned to their original positions.
"It's really a ghost hitting the wall!" Lu Wenle's eyes widened, he had carefully remembered the steps he had taken just now, and he felt that he was walking in a straight line, but if it was a straight line, how could he have walked back to his original position?
I believe that many people have heard of legends such as ghosts hitting the wall, but at most they are only regarded as after-dinner conversations.
The same is true for Meng Zitao, but with his experience of going to Shaokang's tomb, he knows that he can't panic now, and only by being calm and sober can he better solve the trouble.
As mentioned earlier, in fact, the ghost hits the wall because of the markers in some places, which is easy to confuse. Because people recognize the direction of the main landmarkers on the ground, when these signs sometimes cause illusions, that is, to give people wrong information, in this way, they will feel that they still have a sense of direction, in fact, they have lost their way.
When a person gets lost, if he doesn't stop and keep walking, then it must be an instinctive movement, and coming out is a circle. So don't panic at this time, concentrate all your attention, find a way to identify the direction, and if you are in the wild, you can find the North Star location.
But the two of them are now underground, so they can only use the compass.
Meng Zitao took out the compass, and the result was also expected by him, only to see that the needle of the compass kept moving, obviously disturbed by the magnetic field.
"I figured out how to do it. Lu Wenle was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Let's go the opposite, and if we go backwards, we will walk out." ”
Meng Zitao felt that this method would not work, but he didn't say anything, and he tried to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
So, the two of them walked back, and after walking for a long time, they found that they had returned to their original position, Lu Wenle looked dejected, he was a little depressed because of a series of things, and now his heart was even more desperate.
Meng Zitao persuaded: "Senior brother, don't worry, you think, this maze is also man-made, there will always be a way to get out, otherwise wouldn't the builders be trapped in it?"
Lu Wenle was right to think about it, after it was built, he had to try to see if it had any effect, if he couldn't get out, there would definitely be bones here.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Zitao, this kind of thing can only rely on you, I am dark-eyed, and I am not good at all." ”
"Let me think about it. Meng Zitao pondered for a while, and a thought seemed to flash in his mind, but the key point was that he couldn't remember, so he raised his head, and then he noticed the ever-bright lamp on the wall, and suddenly patted his thigh and said, "I know." ”
"What?" Lu Wenle looked at Meng Zitao, waiting for his next step.
Meng Zitao said: "Zhou Yiyun, 'The number of Dayan is fifty, and its use is nine out of forty. And that one is the variable, and here is where the vitality lies. There are 49 everlasting lanterns we have found now, and I think the mechanism may be on the 50th everlasting lantern. ”
"So what are you waiting for, let's find the 50th everlasting lamp. Lu Wenle really didn't want to stay here anymore, and couldn't wait to find the lamp, but immediately he stopped again: "Where can we find this lamp?"
Meng Zitao thought for a while: "I think the clue is still on these 49 lights, let's find it." ”
There is no other way, now I can only use this death method, and then, the two of them carefully checked each lamp, but they did not find any clues, and as time went by, even Meng Zitao was a little impetuous.
It took a lot of time to check all the ever-bright lights found, but the two of them didn't find any clues, and Lu Wenle sat on the ground with his butt in a very depressed mood.
Meng Zitao was also a little depressed, but he was not good at showing it, at this time, the electricity of the miner's lamp was almost used again, he changed the battery, and after turning it on again, he suddenly made a new discovery.
"Senior brother, look there!"
Lu Wenle looked in the direction pointed by Meng Zitao and found that there was actually a permanent lamp projected there, and at this time, the direction of the miner's lamp in Meng Zitao's hand was one of the permanent lights.
Lu Wenle hurriedly walked to the everlasting lamp to check, and found that it was not much different from other everlasting lanterns, but the strange thing was that when Meng Zitao illuminated other everlasting lanterns at the same angle, there was no corresponding projection.
Now is not the time to think about this, Lu Wenle walked to the projection side, checked the wall, but found no special findings, and pushed the wall hard with his hand, but there was still no response.
Meng Zitao walked over, he also pushed the wall hard, as soon as he came up, he used eighty percent of the force, and the effect was obviously different, and immediately there was a clicking sound, and the wall began to turn.
A two-person wide exit was revealed on the wall, and Lu Wenle laughed excitedly: "Haha, I can finally leave this ghost place." ”
Meng Zitao was also very happy, but at this time, there was a warning from his intuition, and another fishy wind was blowing, so he hurriedly shouted: "Senior brother, be careful!"
Before the words fell, he hugged Lu Wenle and jumped to the side, jumping several meters away, and before Lu Wenle could react to what was going on, he saw a snake head with his waist thick appeared in front of him.
"Snake ...... Snake, what a big snake!" Lu Wenle was frightened when he saw the huge tongue spitting out the letter.
Meng Zitao secretly screamed "Oops", you must not be excited when you encounter a snake, this is easy to attract the attention of the snake, if it is an ordinary snake, it is nothing, but this snake is obviously not ordinary, it regards itself and its senior brother as prey.
Sure enough, the giant snake sensed the two of them, drilled directly out of the exit of the wall, and pounced on the two of them with lightning speed.
Seeing the giant snake rushing towards him, Lu Wenle was so frightened that his scalp was numb, and his hands and feet were no longer obedient, at this critical moment, he still had to rely on Meng Zitao, holding Lu Wenle and flying behind him quickly, and at the same time he also pulled out the ten thousand sword.
Meng Zitao said ruthlessly in his heart: "This ten thousand swords can even kill the dragon, see where your broken snake can be arrogant!"
The animal's perception of danger is very keen, and the giant snake can also perceive that the ten thousand sword in Meng Zitao's hand is not easy to provoke, and it is a deadly threat to itself, so that instinct is driving it to dodge.
But the two live prey in front of him made it reluctant to give up, and it fell into a dilemma for a while, so it simply set up a snake formation.
Meng Zitao knew that this giant snake was very powerful, and its movements were very fast, so that he did not dare to act rashly, once the fight started, he was confident that he would not be injured, but he could not guarantee Lu Wenle's safety 100%.
As for the giant snake, it also knew how powerful Meng Zitao was, so it obviously didn't dare to attack Meng Zitao at will, so it stared at Meng Zitao stubbornly, constantly spitting out snake letters, looking for a good opportunity to attack Meng Zitao.
After a confrontation like this for several minutes, neither the giant snake nor Meng Zitao moved, but Lu Wenle next to him couldn't stand it because he was frightened: "Zitao, let me go, we won't be able to please if we go on like this, you move quickly, escape first, leave me alone!"
Lu Wenle was desperate in his heart, this giant snake was more than six meters long, and its body was thicker than a bucket, although it was shorter than the python in "The Disaster of the Python", he felt that it might be even more powerful.
Although the giant snake did not attack now, he still believed that with Meng Zitao with a sword in his hand, he could not fight the giant snake at all, and no matter what, the two of them could not escape the fate of falling into the belly of the snake in the end.
Meng Zitao laughed: "Senior brother, haven't you seen my skills, let's eat roast snake meat in a while." ”
Lu Wenle thought that Meng Zitao didn't want to flee alone, and he was a little moved in his heart, he didn't want Meng Zitao to miss the opportunity, if they were all buried in the belly of the snake, he would be sorry for Meng Zitao.
"Zitao, you are still young, you must seize the opportunity to escape, if you can escape from the ancient tomb, remember to tell my parents on my behalf, it is my unfilial piety, I have not fulfilled the responsibility of my children, tell my wife and children, I love them!"
