Chapter Ninety-Five: Psychological Questions
Yuan Xiu followed and looked at the white bones on the ground, and when his eyebrows sank slightly, Twilight Qing pointed to the ground.
They left out the earth.
It's not that the white bones on the ground are missing, but the green bricks under the white bones.
Ordinary people will think of the antiques on the multi-treasure grid in the study, and the inconspicuous carving on the wall in the secret passage. The same is true for them, when they see the stone gate at the end of the road, the first thing they think of is the green sculpture on the wall, they have explored everywhere, and they have not even let go of the top of their heads, but they have forgotten their feet.
Yue Kill and Meng San looked at their feet, and without saying a word, they began to move the bones!
The bones were moved to the stone gate on the side of the temple gate, stacked in one place, more than ten zhang of the corridor, the blue bricks were exposed, the oil lamp was shining, and it was cold.
The four of them took a look at the green bricks on the ground first, each green brick was the same, and they didn't find any news of opening the stone door, but at a foot away from the stone gate, Moon Kill knocked on the green bricks on the ground.
Knock! Knock!
Twilight, Yuan Xiu, and Meng Sanqi turned their heads, and they all heard itβempty!
Not only was the green brick empty, but there was an empty sound under the four surrounding green bricks, but there was no news of the opening of the mechanism, so Moon Kill took out a dagger and pried open a green brick. When the green brick was opened, the four of them retreated, guarding against a sudden killing move from below, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement under the green brick, only the oil lamp hanging on the wall swayed, and there was a whining sound in the corridor.
Wind?
The four of them glanced at each other, hurried over to look under the green bricks, and did not move for a long time.
After a while, Meng San scratched his head, "What?" β
He wanted to finish scolding the eighteenth generation ancestor of the master of this underground palace!
I saw a new dark passage faintly visible under the green bricks, and the oil lamp hanging on the wall clearly illuminated a downward stone staircase! Moon Kill pried the four green bricks open, and the stone steps were completely exposed, enough for the two of them to descend side by side.
There is a road under this green brick, what is the stone gate at the end of the road?
Decoration?
"Damn! It was put on the table! Meng San scolded, annoyed.
Twilight shook her head and smiled, a little admiring. The master of this underground palace is really well versed in people's hearts, and they have indeed been put together.
There is a road, there is no fork in the road, there are two stone gates in front and back, one is in, and the other is not out?
Anyone who saw the stone gate at the end would think it was an exit, and they looked for the mechanism to open the stone door, but they never thought that the real way out was at their feet. The green bricks on the ground were covered with bones, more than a dozen feet of road, hundreds of bones, whether it was bad luck or trouble, no one wanted to move, but the four stone bricks were being covered under the bones.
The killing machine of this road is not a mechanism, but a psychology. They went through the mechanism of the front hall, and came to this road after nine deaths, and they all thought that there was a mechanism, and carefully probed, and when they saw the stone door at the end, they carefully looked for the mechanism that was opened. The stone carvings on the walls on both sides are beautiful, meticulous and gorgeous, the jade plate held by the fairy, the wat board in the hands of the hundred officials, and even every jewel on the emperor's crown they have explored, more than ten zhang of Yongdao, the walls on both sides, have been checked back and forth several times, and even they themselves do not know how much energy and time have been spent. If she hadn't found the missing bricks by moving the bones, they might have been trapped here by themselves, dying of hunger and thirst.
Twilight Qing is a little regretful, she hasn't solved the psychological problem for many years, how good it would be if the owner of this underground palace was still alive, I really want to see it.
Her smile was a little melancholy, and Yuan Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he turned his head. This seems to be the first time he has seen her smile, the young man half-bowed his head, the smile is shallow, like melancholy, like nostalgia, slightly soft, but he sees loneliness and loneliness. At that moment, he suddenly felt that the underground palace was deep and dark, and she stood alone, as far away as this underground palace, as if it was a thousand years apart, and would disappear at any time.
Yuan Xiu's heart suddenly emptied, and when he reacted, he had already pulled Twilight's hand, "What are you doing standing behind?" Come here! β
Twilight Qing was stunned, Yuan Xiu was also stunned, and the soft touch in his palm came, and he reacted at this time, as if he was burned, and shook it off.
Although his hand was shaken off, the surprise did not go away, as if he was startled by himself.
"The general isn't a broken sleeve, right?" Moon Kill couldn't bear it anymore and asked coldly.
"Hey! Why are you talking? Meng San was not happy, he couldn't get along with the moon kill along the way, but the general didn't allow him to quarrel, so he had to endure it. Now this kid bumped into himself and was looking for a quarrel, "Didn't my general just touch General Yingrui's hand?" Are you still afraid to touch it? β
"Huh!" Yue Killings smiled, "Have you ever seen a man touch a man's hand?" β
"I've seen it!" Meng San replied without blinking, "Aren't my family's generals and Yingrui generals becoming?" β
"Shut up!" The words of the same voice came from the mouths of Twilight Qing and Yuan Xiu.
The two glanced at each other, Yuan Xiu turned his gaze away, Dui Qing had a cold face, no longer paid attention to people, and went down the stone steps first.
The moon kill followed, Yuan Xiu and Meng San walked behind, the light in the corridor gradually disappeared overhead, and in the darkness Yuan Xiu walked down the steps, his eyes fell on the young man in front of him accurately, and his starry eyebrows were shrouded in haze.
Could it be that he has been in the army for a long time, and it is time for him to settle down on his family?
But when he thought of Sheng Jing, he felt more troubled, and when he took a deep breath, he was slightly stunned.
The air is a little humid!
This is the depths of the desert, and the dampness underground means that there is a dark river! Here the underground palace is about 100 miles away from the Sangzhuo Divine Lake, the Sangzhuo Divine Lake has not dried up for a hundred years, because the lake is connected to the Cave Dark River, this Dark River extends in all directions, and there are many tributaries, so it is called the Cave by the grassland Hu people.
If this place is connected to the dark river, they may have a way to get out!
Yuan Xiu had just given birth to this thought, and the first moon kill lit the oil lamp on the wall under the stone steps, and saw that the dark passage where the four people were located was built with bluestone on all sides, and the moisture could be smelled in the dark passage, but the dark river may not be able to see the dark river, and the dark river was separated, at least not in front of him.
There is a dark road in front of you, and three forks in the road appear in front of you!
The four of them lit the oil lamps on the two walls of this dark passage, and saw the three forks in the road clearly by the light, Meng San couldn't help but scold: "The owner of this underground palace is really the Emperor of Siam, and the master will also scold his ancestors!" β
The other three people didn't say anything, but their faces were cold, and they saw three forks in the road in front of them, the middle one was clean and wide, and the two bones next to it paved the way, but the bones on these two roads were no longer neatly arranged like the road above, and they were falling in a mess, and some of the bones were broken, and they looked like they had been killed.
"Maybe this time it's dragging us along, so that we can think about it here for a few days, and simply starve to death!" Meng San negative airway.
"He's not going to play the same tricks." Twilight re-emphasized, "This time, these two bone paths have a mechanism. β
As she spoke, she walked to the left, squatted down to look at the white bones on the ground, and said, "The bones here are broken by more than a dozen limbs outside, and the tibia, fibula, femur, and even the pelvis, coccyx, and lumbar vertebrae are fractured!" The fracture became worse the lower the limb, and several corpses had comminuted fractures in the lower legs. It is inferred that there is a crushing mechanism on the road. This can also be inferred from the death posture of these bones with their feet facing outwards and their feet facing inward. There are crushing mechanisms on this road that drive people to flee, but they are not slow, at least faster than people running, presumably roller-type mechanisms. This organ should have two axes, hanging above this road, and it will rise after rolling for a while, so the most tightly crushed part of these bones is the calf, and the thigh, pelvis and lumbar vertebrae are relatively light, indicating that the organ rises while crushing. β
After saying that, Twilight got up and went to the road on the right, squatted down to take a closer look, and said, "The corpses here are scattered in a curve, a few dead on the right, a few dead on the left, and then look inside, it's the same, it's very regular." Most of the corpses leaned against the wall, the temporal or facial collapsed and fractured, and there were multiple parallel arc-shaped bone fissures at the edge of the concave, which was a typical mechanical injury caused by a spherical blunt instrument. β
"As for the middle road, there are no bones, maybe there is no mechanism, maybe there is. With the temperament of the owner of the underground palace, if there is a mechanism on this road, he did not give us a hint like the other two roads, which can only explain one point. Once we see the corpses on this path, we quickly make a choice, either choose this path immediately or abandon it immediately. Then the game will be boring, his purpose is to make us use our brains to think, less thinking about one way, it will be much more boring. So there are either no mechanisms on this road, or there are. If so, it will kill more than the right and left ways. β
Twilight spoke quickly, and the three paths were finished in the blink of an eye. Yuan Xiu wanted to avoid her and have less contact with her along the way, but he was still unconsciously attracted by her and sighed. He sighed not for her speculation on the mechanism on the left and right roads by autopsy, but for her speculation on the middle road.
"It's really not a road to go." Yuan Xiu looked into the depths of the road, in the endless darkness, there were some rustling sounds, there was something on the road, very similar to a snake cave, or other poisons. He doesn't know how to perform an autopsy, but as a martial artist, his ears are not bad.
Moonkill nodded to Twilight, apparently hearing him too.
The mechanism is easy to hide, the poison is difficult to prevent, if you enter this way, I am afraid they will not be able to get out.
As Twilight speculated, the killing opportunities on this path were much stronger than those on both sides.
"In that case, go this way." Twilight walks to the right, the path where the orb trap is located.
"Why?" Meng San was puzzled.
"On the left is a crushing mechanism, which does not crush people to death, only half of them, and the lumbar vertebrae are fractured, so they can only paralyze on the ground and wait for death. The right mechanism can't dodge, it's a big deal to hit the head, die on the spot, and suffer less! Twilight said flatly, she would rather choose the right side.
Meng San was cold, looked at the road on the left again, shook unconsciously, and moved to the right.
Yuan Xiu and Yue Kill also had no opinion, the four of them chose the right road, and before entering, Du Qing said: "The round ball is the size of a human head, the speed is quite fast, and the distribution is dense. β
The three of them looked into the depths of the road, nodded, and only chose to believe her, and no one asked why. Anyway, she has a reason, and she can't understand it even if she asks.
No one asked, and Twilight didn't say much, the four of them walked into the road, walking slowly, Yuan Xiu and Yue Kill were two masters in front, looking in all directions, listening to the eight roads, just walking to the first pile of bones, and suddenly a heavy wind came overhead!
The wind had an iron smell, and before it arrived, it seemed to have a strong wind pouring into his ears, and several strong winds were blowing in front of him at the same time, Yuan Xiu and Yue Kill shot at the same time, pushing Twilight Qing and Meng San behind him backwards!
The two were pushed out, and Yuan Xiu and Yue Kill hurriedly retreated, and the iron balls that fell on the road were all bright. The two of them thought of going together, and only then did they enter and walk in front, both in order to probe the mechanism first, touch the mechanism first, let those iron balls fall, and then find a gap and take Twilight Qing and Meng San to gallop over with light skills.
Institutions are dead, but people are alive, so that the plan is better.
The shot was quite smooth, Yuan Xiu turned around and asked, "It's not hurt, right?" β
"Nope." Meng San touched his sore head and got up from the ground.
Yuan Xiu and Yue Kill's faces suddenly changed! Meng San was frightened by the sudden change in the faces of the two, thinking that Twilight Qing had fallen, and immediately looked back, and when he turned around, he gasped and his face changed.
Behind was the road where the oil lamps were still lit, but there was only a cold light on the road, and there was no one else.
Twilight is gone!
