Chapter 85
Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Shen Anran opened his mouth to explain: "This passage is indeed straight, but we have not been walking on this passage all the time, but unconsciously, we have walked to another passage. Although it seems that we are always moving forward, before we know it, we have turned many corners. Therefore, there is a detour back to the original point. ”
Yan Linglong was puzzled: "How is this possible, Shen Gongzi, if we go through other passages, how can we not know at all?" ”
Shen Anran said: "This is the magic of this passage. We have indeed gone to other passages, but we don't know that the reason for this is because this passage moves. Shen Anran glanced at everyone, looked at the passage again, and continued: "I just asked you to go again, just to confirm your speculation. The results now prove that our assumptions are correct. In this ancient building, there is more than one such passage, according to my speculation, there should be four such passages. Moreover, these channels all rotate in different directions with certain regularities. The passage we are standing in under our feet is actually a mechanism. There should be three more such passages, and each passage is exactly the same, they are controlled by the mechanism, and they rotate very smoothly and carefully according to a certain law and speed, because this rotation is very smooth and the speed is constant, so we people in it cannot immediately detect it. Every once in a while, the two passages in these passages will come together and become a straight passage, and then we will go from this situation to the second passage. When we get to the second channel, the two channels are staggered again, the second channel is docked with the third channel, and so on, until the last channel docks with the first channel, and we are at the starting point again. The reason why there is nothing in front of this passage except this everlasting lamp is that we are afraid that after we have something, we will find that we have been walking on the same road. Moreover, only then there is nothing, and the channel does not arouse our alarm in the process of rotation and docking. ”
After Shen Anran's words, some people understood, some people didn't understand at all, and someone asked, "What kind of docking?" What rotation? You mean to say that this whole building is a mechanism? How is this possible? How could it be so exquisite? ”
Ye Qianhuan said: "This entire ancient building is indeed an organ. I think that the passages in this ancient building should be arranged in a phalanx, and there are upper and lower levels. These passages dock perfectly with a certain direction of rotation and speed as we pass through them, stay for a while, and then stagger them. That's what it looks like now. It makes us feel like we've been walking endlessly in a straight passage, but in fact, we're just going around in circles, but we don't know we're going in circles. Such a mechanism may seem like a fantasy, but it is not completely impossible to make it. Ye Qianhuan said this, also looked around, and sighed: "The person who made such a trick is indeed a genius who has not been encountered in a hundred years. ”
Meng Yuanfa said: "Since it is a docking through the guò organ, it must be impossible to achieve no seams at all, we will be able to find a place for docking along the road, and maybe we can find a way out!" ”
Shen Anran nodded and said: "Indeed, although the design of this passage is very exquisite, as long as we are careful along the road and look carefully, we will be able to find the docking point, and we may be able to find a way out." ”
After Shen Anran finished saying this, the Pavilion Master of Tianxiang Pavilion had already walked forward without a look, and the three Dharma Protectors next to her began to arrange for the disciples to pay close attention to the walls and the ground in order to find the docking point.
As soon as Meng Yuanfa saw Tianxiang Pavilion acting like this, he naturally would not fall behind, and immediately arranged for everyone to look carefully while walking forward.
The group walked for a while, and Shen Anran pulled Ye Qianhuan to walk in front. Because Ye Qianhuan had been a thief before, he had always observed these things more carefully than ordinary people. So, she soon noticed an anomaly in the wall. She pulled Shen Anran over to take a look, and determined that this was indeed the interface of the two channels.
"Shen Shaoxia, what are we going to do then?" Liu Changsheng of the Qingshan faction asked.
Shen Anran looked around and said, "Wait." ”
"Wait?" Liu Changsheng was puzzled: "Just wait?" ”
Shen Anran said: "It's not that we just have to wait, but we have no other way than waiting." ”
Indeed, now they have nothing to do but wait. According to Shen Anran's speculation, the channel will stop rotating for a period of time after docking, and then it will continue to rotate, so now they can only wait here for the channel to continue to rotate and stagger to find an exit.
The waiting process was long and difficult, Ye Qianhuan and Shen Anran sat down. Ye Qianhuan walked for such a long time, and he only felt tired. Shen Anran pulled her into his arms and said softly: "When you're tired, lean on my shoulder and rest, don't worry, I'm here." ”
Ye Qianhuan leaned on Shen Anran's body, shook his head and smiled: "Where can I sleep in such a place?" She looked down at what Shen Anran was painting on the ground, and wondered, "Xianggong, what are you drawing?" ”
Shen Anran replied, "I'm drawing a diagram of this mechanism. Although this is a docking point, it is not always possible to find a way out. If we can't find a way out here, then we may have to continue to look for other points, so I will draw a simple diagram of these passages first, so that it can be more convenient for us to find the exit later. ”
Ye Qianhuan nodded and said: "This master who designed the ancient building is indeed powerful, if he designs some mechanisms in this passage, I'm afraid we will lose a lot of people here this time." ”
Shen Anran said: "He didn't design a mechanism in this passage, but just confused us like this, I'm afraid he wanted to give us another chance." Shen Anran sighed lightly: "Give us a chance to survive." ”
The road ahead will certainly be more dangerous than it is now, do you want to continue to move forward?
Everyone waited for about a stick of incense, and suddenly someone shouted, "Look at the passage ahead!?" ”
Ye Qianhuan immediately got up and looked at the passage, only to see that the passage in front of him began to change little by little, and the original passage gradually disappeared. Everyone hurriedly rushed over to look, and saw that a tunnel gradually appeared on their ground, and the tunnel led to the invisible bottom.
Ye Qianhuan only heard Shen Anran say: "It seems that the luck outside is not too bad." The entrance to the dungeon was found. The entrance to the tunnel is getting bigger and bigger, but the passage is still rotating, Shen Anran picked up the torch in his hand and said, "The entrance to this underground palace has not been around for a long time, we have to enter the underground palace as much as possible." After she finished saying this, she looked back at the people behind her and said, "There must be many dangers under the underground palace, everyone must think carefully, if you turn back now, it will be too late." You just need to wait at each interface, and you can always wait for the exit. She continued to say this, but there was no movement behind her. No one had any intention of leaving.
Finally got here, and now someone is telling them that this is just the entrance to the underground palace, who wants to give up the treasure in front of them and leave?
Seeing this, Shen Anran didn't talk nonsense, picked up his torch with one hand, and pulled up Ye Qianhuan with the other, and took the lead in entering the underground palace, and the disciples of Tianxiang Pavilion also rushed ahead, and they followed Shen Anran into the underground palace with almost no hesitation. Seeing this, the people behind hurriedly followed.
Ye Qianhuan and Shen Anran walked in front, only to feel that there was a gloomy feeling in the underground palace. Ye Qianhuan thought, just now they were still on the ground, but looking at the way they looked now, they should have reached the bottom. That's why you feel eerie everywhere, right?
Everywhere the firelight went, the walls were nothing like before, and some murals began to slowly appear on the walls. Ye Qianhuan followed behind Shen Anran and began to carefully observe the murals on the wall.
The paintings are very delicate, and you can see that the craftsmen who painted them put a lot of thought into it. Ye Qianhuan looked at it all the way, and at first there was no connection between each one, but in the back, the murals slowly began to have a certain connection with each other. The further you go, the greater the connection between the murals, and in the end, which ones are connected seem to tell a story.
