Chapter 21: The Bagua Diagram

Since I arrived at Horseshoe, I have experienced so many things, and I have found that my psychological tolerance has improved a lot, although there are some things that I didn't even dare to think about before, but once I encounter them, I can only face them head-on.

I felt for the flashlight, fortunately it was not broken, my fingers skillfully touched the switch, but I didn't press it for a long time, I don't know what scary things will be in front of me when the lights come on, maybe it's a dead person, maybe it's a star-to-eye with you, or maybe there's nothing at all, everything is me scaring myself.

I slowly closed my eyes, a strong sense of pressure came to me, I had never been so nervous, everything happened so fast before, so fast that I didn't have time to think, everything was the body's most instinctive survival reaction, and now, I finally had a choice, the flashlight was firmly held in the palm of my hand, although it was now full of sweat, very slippery, but I still held it tightly, it felt like holding the switch of fate. In the dark, all the tiny sounds will become deafening, I can clearly feel my heartbeat, bang, so strong and full of vitality, I was actually moved by my own heartbeat, its desire to live is so fierce, I can no longer hesitate, I must strike first.

With a snap, the flashlight lit up, and the sudden light made my eyes very uncomfortable, I squinted, and in the white swaying piece, I vaguely saw that it was a skull that grew out of the ground, the eyes of the black hole, one was the size of a fist, staring straight at me, I trembled violently, the flashlight rang, and I rolled out, rolling towards the ghost skeleton in the depths of the darkness, I felt a sigh in my heart, oh no, I'm afraid I'm going to startle the snake! Busy reflexively covering my head with my hands, my body involuntarily shrank towards the corner, I was really scared, I was very scared, and I don't know how long I was like that, until even the sound of my breathing gradually stabilized, and the surroundings began to be quiet again.

One of my medical classmates said that the human nerve is like a rubber band, and if it is tightened for a long time, the rubber band will lose its elasticity, and no amount or less stimulation will not arouse any response from the nerves. I'm in this situation right now, my nerve endings have lost their elasticity and connection, and I don't even know why I suddenly stood up and walked towards the light source step by step, just like Schwarzenegger walking towards the devil's dragon pool step by step, calmly and calmly. With each step I took closer, the more light sources gathered on the skeletons reflected into my eyes, until I stood calmly in front of them, picked up the flashlight on the ground in a deformed posture that was not human, and the lights flickered, and I shit, what a fucking kindness, my old tears popped out at once, and it was a fucking ghost! I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, desperately resisted the urge to kiss them, and continued to beat the flashlight around, and found that this was another tomb of human ghosts, another dead loop, and even more strange, the third master and uncle were actually gone.

An indescribable excitement immediately surged in my heart, could it be that I had stumbled upon some mechanism by mistake? I touched the back of my head, and there was already a hard bag the size of an egg, but it didn't hurt, but it was a little numb, damn it, this beating was not in vain. But after thinking about it, if it was really because I happened to stumble into the mechanism in the tomb tunnel that I came to this place, then with Qiao Fuzi's ability, it is estimated that it will not take long to find this place, not to mention, I have wasted so much time before...... Thinking about it, I was a little frustrated, and along the way, I asked myself more than once, should I take this job or not? We are good errands, why should we get involved with tomb robbing? Master, how much is he hiding from us? What is the origin of the cold bench, why should he cooperate with us as such a powerful person? The more I think about it, the more headache I get, if only my junior brother was here, he has so many crooked reasons, there must be a way to tell me not to worry about it...... Thinking about it, my mind suddenly flashed, that's right, the top priority is to meet with the junior and younger brothers immediately, this is the way to get rid of the third master!

I patted my face, cheered up, found a clean place to sit down, and simply reasoned out, after coming down from the stone monkey's mouth, I met a total of three human ghost head tombs, the one that disappeared with the senior brother and the cold bench, a total of four, now suppose, the cold bench they went to if the one they went to is correct (that is, my destination), it means that the other three are wrong, so how did the cold bench judge that the one he entered was correct? Except for the frescoes on the walls, the rest of the four burial chambers are exactly the same, besides, the cold bench found the correct location of the tomb in the corridor at that time, and he didn't have time to look at the murals on the wall, so how did he do it?

This is the same as solving a functional equation, given the conditions A and B, I use A to solve the wrong answer C, and the cold bench uses B to solve the correct answer D, unless I also know what B is, I can't get the correct solution, so what is this B, what conditions are there on the cold bench and I don't, is he more handsome than me, or is his craftsmanship better than mine?

I thought about it, it's really hard to say, although there are a lot of girls chasing me in college, but the kid on the cold bench is really not bad, but his temper stinks, the shelf is a little bigger, and he can't see people in his eyes, but now most female comrades are like this, even the junior brother is so demonic, isn't it the first time they meet, they fall under someone's mountaineering pants? Well, the wind of the world is a little sunset...... As for the craft, this is even more unknown, now think about it, along the way, we have encountered many difficulties, but except for me and my junior brother, no one has shown their skills, no cold bench, no six sons of Achen, and no three uncles, are we too rash, or are they too cautious?

This is a bit of a stretch, and I pull my mind back to what the hell is this B...... Suddenly, my brain was so excited that I slapped my thighs in anger, how could I fucking forget such a crucial thing? Map! It's the map! This euphoria lasted less than three seconds, and then I wilted again, and it was clear that I didn't have a map, which means that I didn't have condition B, and my condition A was wrong, so how could I solve the answer D?

I recall that my math teacher used to teach us a conventional method, and then use divergent thinking to teach a special method, that is, according to condition B, and then deduce a condition Z that is equivalent to B, and finally get D from Z. Now, my condition B is a map, and the same thing as a map is positioning, that is, as long as I can deduce the approximate direction of each of us now, I can get the answer D.

Confident at once, I drew my dagger and the broken compass and marked our positions on the ground. First of all, our first pass is the stone monkey mouth down the Yongdao, I remember that it is due south, and according to Achen's description, they fell down from the waterfall of the Water Curtain Cave, and followed the water flow to the underground river, that is, the end of the Yongdao, that is, due north, and the tomb where the junior brother and the cold bench disappeared was probably located in the east of the middle part of the Yongdao, and the first human ghost head tomb that I entered with the third master and uncle was the northeast near the east and close to the direction of the river, and then, we went straight south along the underground river. There was no turn, and when I went up, it was supposed to be southwest opposite the northeast, and here was the second burial chamber, and now, I fell in on the wall west of the burial path...... Now assuming that the arrangement of these burial chambers is according to a certain law, then my current location should be due west. I glanced at the compass, and now it was pointing west, and if the broken compass hadn't been broken by me, then my analysis should be correct.

After all the marks were finished, I raised the flashlight a little higher, and looked at the directions of these tombs as a whole, which were due west, southwest, northeast, and east, plus the north and south at both ends of the road...... My mind flashed, and I raised my hand to make up a little bit in each of the northwest and southeast corners, if I guessed correctly, isn't this a complete gossip map?
