The sixth sense must exist, but it will manifest differently in different people. For example, Team Cao's intuition about the mystery case is far beyond ordinary people, and almost without any physical evidence, they can guess eight or nine. And Liao Huansheng's judgment of the dating of antiquities, especially what is hidden in the catacombs, is shocking accurately. Of course, for me, if there are ghosts around, I can't feel it.

And now I have this strong feeling, but the strange thing is that the soul bell did not move at all, and it was smeared with Tianmu water, and I still didn't find anything in the tunnel.

Sun Ping began to continue crawling forward, saying as he crawled: "Old Chang, Team Cao, they didn't go down a few minutes earlier than us, why didn't there be any movement in the cave at all? Could it be that the sound was absorbed by the coal seam?"

After about ten minutes, we finally climbed to a more spacious space. This is obviously what Xiao Lei said on the walkie-talkie, where the tunnel was blocked by Dai Mine Chief.

It can be seen that Dai Mine Chief and his men were actually in a hurry to block the entrance of the cave, and they just found some gravel and wet soil to fill the roadway, and they didn't even have time to tamp it, so they hurriedly evacuated. Xiao Lei and the others should not have spent much effort to clear these blockages and re-dig the roadway. Sun Ping took out the walkie-talkie and shouted a few times, but there was no answer, and in this underground world, the walkie-talkie seemed to have completely lost its effect. He lay down at the entrance of the cave again and shouted a few times to Team Cao, but there was no sound except the deathly silence.

Why did Xiao Lei and Cao Team go in in two groups, and they did not arrange for someone to pass on the news to us, nor did they leave any marks at the entrance of the cave? Cao Team still has extenuating circumstances, and they did not allow us to come down, so naturally there is no need to leave markers, Xiao Lei has always been a careful and rigorous person, which is a bit strange.

I used a flashlight to shine on the soil and rocks that Xiao Lei and the others cleaned up, and found a dark and shiny stone, picked it up and looked at it, it should be the coal essence jade that Director Qi showed me, but there was no water urchin in it, and the surface was a little rough, but at least it proved that we were not far from the destination.

But my ideas are clearly overly optimistic. The next tunnel was much wider than the previous one, and the height could allow us to bend over and walk upright, which was obviously much faster, but after walking for more than ten minutes, we still had a deep black tunnel in front of us, as if there was no end. To add insult to injury, we ran into a fork in the road.

There were no markings, no footprints, there was almost no difference between the tunnels on both sides, like carved out of a mold, and it seemed too unwise for the three of us to divide into two roads at the fork in the road, so I briefly discussed it with Sun Ping and decided to go along the fork on the left side first.

"Chang, something is wrong, why do I think we have walked this road?" After another few minutes, Sun Ping stopped in the tunnel, looked around and muttered.

It is true that without any references, it is easy to feel that we are going the wrong way in the tunnel, and we kind of regret that we didn't leave some markings on the road to check our current path. But what I can't figure out is that if this tunnel was excavated by Mine Manager Dai and his team in order to restart the sealed test shaft, and it is a passage connecting the shaft and the outside of the shaft, then where did the fork come from? Isn't digging a fork in the road an extra move?

"According to the time we left, we should have arrived at the equipment platform that the miners said we were talking about, and we saw the shaft, how could it be that we haven't arrived yet? No, Lao Chang, come and see. Sun Ping took out a brick-sized machine from his backpack, shone it with a flashlight, and beckoned me over.

"It's a force depth gauge, I've never used it before, but you see, isn't it 74 meters old?"

Listening to Sun Ping's words, I couldn't help but be shocked, and looked at the data on the display, and sure enough, it was seventy-four meters. I hurriedly used a flashlight to shine a picture on the four walls of the tunnel, which was no different from the previous tunnel.

"Old Sun, have you noticed, when did this tunnel start to become one person high?" I asked him. I noticed that we were busy on our way just now, and before we knew it, our half-bowed body was now able to stand up straight, about twenty centimeters away from the top of the mine.

Sun Ping scratched his head and thought about it carefully. "I really didn't pay much attention to it, I think it was after the first fork in the road, before I hit the fork, I knocked my head down. ”

I hurriedly took out the yellowed rice paper from my pocket, unfolded it, and looked at the ghost talismans in deep thought. Sun Ping and Xiao Tian came around and helped me shine a flashlight, not understanding what I was looking at.

"Lao Sun, I kind of understand that this tunnel is not at all as Lao Qin speculated, it leads to the shaft of the test mine, so we always thought that we only walked down twenty or thirty meters deep, because there is no comparison of depths, in fact, we have reached the lowest level of the mine. "I picked up the drawings, pasted them on the stone wall of the tunnel, and said to them.

"So where the hell are we?" Sun Ping couldn't quite accept my judgment, and couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

"I only have a bad guess, we continue along the road, about a hundred to one hundred and fifty meters away, and if we come across a three-way junction, then my guess is unfortunately true. I put away the drawings, and Sun Ping and Xiao Tian were already walking forward quickly.

More than a hundred meters later, Sun Ping, who was walking in the front, stopped, turned around with a complicated expression, and behind him, there were vaguely three dark holes, all of which were exactly the same in height and width.

"Old Chang, could it be said that we have already entered the fire gathering array of the five directions?" Sun Ping seemed to realize something, and his voice trembled a little.

"It's a matter of course, I've read a few miscellaneous books about Longgang Taoism before, and I've also talked to some strangers, and I probably know that the original Longgang trapped words are all stone formations, and it seems that the highest base is only half a person high, after all, it is not used by trapped people, and the corresponding magic weapons are arranged on the stone wall, but I ignored it, this is underground after all, how can there be such a large space for array?"

"It turned out that the Taoist priest of Longgang was actually digging a roadway, using the tunnel as a wall, and the yin and yang were reversed. ”

Listening to my words, Sun Ping nodded, but seemed to realize something immediately, and asked me puzzled: "Lao Chang, if it is really a five-party fire array, what is the purpose of Dai Mine Chief and the others digging the tunnel directly into this array? This array should not lead to other places? Even if there is an exit, it leads to the mine in the Ming Dynasty, which has long been sealed, is it possible that Dai Mine Chief and those people are ready to hide in this array? Or are they going to pass through this array and go through the sealed Ming Dynasty mine?"

I shook my head, "This doesn't matter now, the key is that Xiao Lei, Cao and the two groups of people are inside, they must not have found the equipment platform and shaft, and they have been walking into the formation." If the stone wall is on the formation wall, you can climb the formation wall, overlook the whole formation, determine the position to enter, and then go out over the wall. But now with the laneway as the formation wall, we may not be able to transfer out of the formation map, what should they do with the Cao team?"

"Lao Chang, are you sure there are any faceless ghosts locked up in this formation? Cao Team and they collided, will there be any danger?" Sun Ping asked me with a gloomy face.

"I'm afraid there are no ghosts in this array, and this array has no effect on the things inside, we can only hope to find them as soon as possible, and the chemical protective suits will work. I straightened up and was about to move on, but Oda grabbed me.

"Uncle Chang, you said above that there is a living gate in this array, is it referring to this symbol? Oda said, pointing to a crescent-shaped symbol in the outermost circle.

I nodded at him, and Xiao Tian immediately said with some excitement, "Uncle Chang, there are two shengmen on this map, if we are now at this three-way crossing, then one shengmen is in the upper left of us, about five hundred meters away, that shengmen should be connected to the exit of the Ming Dynasty mine, but one kilometer above the right, there is another shengmen, where does this lead?"

Xiao Tian pointed to the formation diagram, and I noticed that on the edge of the rice paper, there was indeed a half-moon sign that was not very obvious.

"Xiao Tian, the birth gate in the formation diagram does not refer to the door that people can pass through, maybe it is an everlasting lamp, maybe it is a living water source, it is possible, it is relative to ghosts. ”

"Uncle Chang, and you see, if the symbol indicates the place where the magic instrument is placed, then it can only be in the tunnel, which actually identifies the spatial location of the tunnel. But the central part of this array is probably an irregular circle, judging from the distance we actually walked down the shaft, there are at least three or four hundred meters in diameter, and there are no magic weapons, what is this? Why does this array have to be placed around here?"

"Xiao Tian, those ancients didn't understand standard cartography, and they couldn't do it so accurately, maybe it was just a wall, maybe there was nothing. Sun Ping shook his head, took the flashlight and continued to carefully follow the three forks in the road, hoping to find traces of which way Xiao Lei and Cao Team went. I have a strong interest in Oda's ideas, and I can find some subtle clues, and there will definitely be corresponding inferences later.

"Oda, keep talking, it's kind of interesting. I patted him on the shoulder.

(There are four types of karmic vision.) What are the four things? The so-called unconsciously grasping the cause of the appearance of the mind, the beginningless time to take the cause of the void and the habit of the void, the knowledge of the nature is the reason, and the joy of seeing all kinds of colors and the cause. Great wisdom, with this four edges, Alaya knows like a waterfall and flowing water, and he is born to know the waves. For example, the same is true of the eye, and so is the remnant, in all the roots, motes, pores, eyes, etc., the consciousness is transferred or suddenly born, such as the image of all colors in the mirror, or gradually. Like a fierce wind blowing the sea, the heart of the sea is also blowing, and the realm wind blows the waves of all knowledge, and the waves are endless. Great wisdom, because of the appearance of the work, is neither one nor different; karma and life are deeply bound to each other; it is impossible to know the self-nature such as color, and the five senses are transformed. --Ranga Sutra)
