Sanjiu jumped on the tallest statue of a fox, stood on top of the fox's head and looked around before jumping down, and said, "The statue arrangement is spiral-shaped. ”

I said, "Could it be that they moved their positions when we weren't looking!" ”

But it was impossible to move the heavy statue to the ground without a slide, and I had a flash of inspiration and asked, "What about those two black plates of yours?" Try them out? ”

I have seen the power of the black plate, such a useful magic weapon, Sanjiu should still have them with him on this trip to Qingqiu.

He shone a flashlight at the statue's base and said, "I'll let them go." ”

Hearing this, my face was shocked, the souls of those two hard-working women were imprisoned in a black plate for thousands of years, and they must have suffered a lot of torture before they died, and they should be let go.

And this realization made a little wave in my heart, but I quickly regained my calm, just feeling that something cold and hard deep inside me had melted into the corner.

It was an abyss of the mind that even I could not reach, and my apparent consciousness seemed to be blocked by a barrier that could not extend there, so I gave up on continuing to explore my heart and focused on what was in front of me.

There is a thick layer of ash where the ashlar base meets the ground, and I have seen four or five statues in a row, but I have not found any traces of movement.

Finally I was a little impatient to propose the use of violent destruction, but Sanjiu disagreed, saying that the consequences would be serious if the layout was changed at will, and pointed out to me the dark marks on one of the statues.

"It's blood."

The consequences of brute force obviously cost in blood, I hurriedly threw away the simple and crude thoughts, and then told him about Bai Rui's entry and disappearance, and he frowned after hearing this, but did not say anything.

Now our main task is to break out of the maze, Bai Rui is not in a hurry beforehand, but if he is here, we can at least get out of this maze smoothly, thinking that it is a bit of a pity.

People have a fixed routine for arranging formations, although they are ever-changing, they do not deviate from their origins, Sanjiu tried to crack the ordinary formation, but there is no change.

I said dejectedly: "The internal structure of this mausoleum is in vain, and it is useless to come in until now." ”

Sanjiu said: "The picture is correct, it's just that there is a lack of people." ”

When I heard this, I wondered, "Who is missing?" ”

He said lightly: "Tomb keeper." ”

I pondered it for a while, and then I understood what he meant, the structural diagram is true, but it is only the basic structure, and many details of the secret door may need someone to lead the way after entering, so it is not unreasonable, because the old village chief told Bai Rui the trick, which means that the mausoleum keeper understands all the clever arrangements inside the mausoleum.

I thought for a moment and said, "But Bai Rui is missing, if he knows all the secrets to clearing the customs, there is no reason to go." ”

Sanjiu listened to me and looked at the statues closely, and just now our attention was on where they were placed, when he seemed to notice something else.

"It's not a formation." Sanjiu came to a conclusion.

"What's that?"

"It's the things in the statues that are interfering with us, arranging them into special shapes just to deliberately mislead us into taking the time to break the formation, and the longer we stay here, the more affected we are by it."

He said as he tapped the end of his flashlight on the fox statue's belly, and then said, "It's not solid." ”

I said, "You mean it contains something that can confuse us?" ”

He nodded and said, "But it's not a hallucination, I think, it's an interference with people's ability to distinguish directions, so it's hard to detect." ”

I asked curiously, "How did you come up with the idea?" ”

He chose the smallest one among the stone statues, which was only one meter high even if the pedestal was counted, and then clenched his fist with one hand and struck the stone fox's abdomen, and then heard a 'click', and the little fox's round belly had a few more cracks, knocking off the broken stone on the surface, and a metal ball fell inside.

After picking up the ball, he replied, "I have this thing in the maze that Sanfat and I met in the back mountain." ”

If it interferes with our brains, we can't dig out all the balls in the fox's belly, and those statues taller than humans won't be as easy to get rid of as this small one.

I was struggling to do anything about it, when I saw Sanjiu's fingers hold a few silver needles, stabbing them into the top of my head with skillful movements, and then closing my eyes, and when I opened them again, I looked around, and led me in the direction I entered.

I followed him and watched him turn back, but I didn't stop it, and if the ball could confuse the magnetic field of the brain, what I saw would most likely be different from what he saw.

We walked through the fox statue group to the entrance, and he walked straight into the passage and walked some distance before pulling out the silver needle from the top of his head.

"We're back to square one."

"No, it's not the way it used to be."

He searched the wall, and near the ground, he pointed to the blank wall and said, "I marked this place before I went in." ”

I secretly praised him for his carefulness and thoughtfulness, leaving marks everywhere he walked, so that he could know whether he had gone back or not, such a simple truth, why didn't I think of it!

Sure enough, the light column of the flashlight shone up and down on the left and right sides of the wall, and the wall was clean and clean, and there was no mark.

The failure of the sense of direction makes us always regard the exit as the entrance, so obviously people will not enter before the exit, but rack their brains to study the way to break the formation.

This strange ball makes people trap themselves, if they can't see through its principle, they won't be able to get out for a lifetime, but after they are exposed, if they can't use clever means like Sanjiu to keep their brains from being disturbed by it, the result is also knowing that they are trapped, and there is nothing they can do.

"The map shows that walking through this passage is where the coffin will be kept, which is much safer than the canyon altar, but fortunately there are no strange animals."

"Not necessarily."

After Sanjiu finished speaking, he stopped, and I also stopped, waiting for his next step, there are no traps, traps, crossbows, snakes, insects, rats and ants here, what makes him alert?

He pointed to the wall and said: "The length of this road on the map is at most 100 meters, and we have already walked more than 300 meters. ”

I was shocked, yes, he has a habit of leaving marks on the road he walks, and I saw him scratching the wall with a dagger just now, but he didn't say that I hadn't paid attention to it, and the mark really hadn't been repeated!

I said, "Could it be that the map is not detailed or the conversion is wrong, but the passage is actually very long, or it is ...... Not horizontally but downward? ”

Sanjiu took out a glass ball and threw it on the ground, and the glass ball rolled forward for a while and stopped.

I didn't give up: "Maybe the slope is small so that it doesn't go unnoticed." ”

He walked over and picked up the glass ball, and we stopped and didn't continue to move on to save energy.

I couldn't stand the death and silence, so I spoke: "The old village chief said that there were several groups of people who came in before and couldn't get out, but we can see a corpse or a finger when we walk here, where do you say these people are?" ”

Sanjiu didn't answer, walked to the wall and took out a dagger, the surface of the wall was made of whole stone bars, and now he was cleaning the gaps between the stone bars, scraping the covering soil and sealing mud, revealing a little reflective thing inside.

"What is it?"

"Crystals."
