Chapter 20

Calm down! Calm down!

The candle will go out, this is her last chance, if she can't get out in the case of light, after the candle is extinguished, Lan Zui can only wait for death.

Blowing out the candles, the surroundings were immediately plunged into chaotic darkness. Lan Zui closed his eyes and sorted out the bits and pieces since He Rong Thirteen entered the passage, and he couldn't calm down his mind, and his mind was full of the female ghost and its messy words.

Who is it exactly?

Who is the rain it has been calling?

What does it have to do with her?

First sight of the garden? In the palace? Grinding autumn?

Lan Zui was sure that he had not seen a similar scene in his dream.

Wait, Moqiu!

Lan Zui opened her eyes suddenly, what if she had been circling in place instead of a ghost hitting the wall, but the passage itself was a mechanism?

Because of the continuous encounters with ghosts in the basement of the tomb, Lan Zui's mind was pulled away from the normal structure of the tomb. Isn't the most common anti-theft measure in the tomb all kinds of unbelievable traps!

Lan Zui suppressed his excitement and then straightened out his thoughts, and took out the last two glow sticks from his pocket.

With a light tap of the fingers, the glow stick slowly shimmered. Lan Zui dropped one at his feet, knocked on the other, stopped lighting the candle, and walked forward with the faint light of the glow stick.

Lan Zui walked very slowly, turning back one step at a time. The glowstick lay quietly on the ground, not moving. Lan Zui's heart was beating rapidly, and he walked thirty-three steps, and when he turned back, he found that the glow stick, which was originally unusually eye-catching in the dark, was suddenly gone.

Lan Zui immediately turned around, and according to the pace and speed when he came, he took seven steps back, and the glow stick appeared in his eyes again.

Really!

The ancients often used the principle of levers to make tombs, and the simplest and most common is the tomb flap. At first glance, the tomb flap is set up in the center of the stone slab, which looks like other stone slabs, but when the tomb robber steps on it, the flap will flip to one end due to the weight imbalance on both sides of the shaft, and the tomb robber will fall into the trap set under the flap. When the weight of the shaft is rebalanced, the flap will return to its original state.

And this channel uses the same principle.

If Lan Zui guessed correctly, the stone floor of the passage behind those lamp girls was all made of flaps. It's just that this flap is very heavy, and it is turned diagonally, and the amplitude of the flip is quite small, which is difficult to detect. When Lan Zui stepped on one end of the flap, due to the uneven weight, the corner part of the flap moved diagonally to the side, and the other end of the flap could be connected to the passage next to it.

In fact, the passage was not a straight road like Lan Zui had seen, and there was a corner point with a very small arc at every other section. The sides of the stone wall were not very smooth, the ground was uneven, and the passage was dark and deep, and it was impossible for anyone who entered the passage to be so preoccupied with the traps that might appear that it was impossible to notice the slight inclination of the passage floor and this small change in curvature.

In other words, these one hundred and eight passages are independent and unrelated to each other on the surface, but in fact, they use flaps to pass through each other inside, forming a large labyrinth. As long as one enters one of them at will, he will be trapped in it, circling back and forth on this one hundred and eight roads, exhausted to death.

From the beginning of entering the passage, Lan Zui and Rong Thirteen were afraid that they had been taken by the flip board to switch passages, and they didn't know which section they were going to at this time.

Rong Thirteen was probably delayed because of something in the middle of the way, and it happened that the two of them were between the two flaps, so they would lose their sights of each other after the flaps switched.

Although the flap design is bulky, it is very durable and resistant to wear and tear, and it can be compared to the mechanism that requires a spring, such as a crossbow bolt to maintain an unusual operating time. To tell the truth, if this kind of organ encounters the Jieling faction or official thieves, it is easy to see through the large number of people. Therefore, the designer designed so many statues and so many passages, it is expected that the tomb will not bet the risk in one passage, and will definitely disperse the action to improve efficiency and reduce the danger, but as long as the person disperses, from the beginning of stepping into the passage, the designer will be fooled.

The amount of work on this tomb is huge, and the accuracy of the projection of people's hearts is shocking. Lan Zui couldn't help but become more and more curious about the woman's identity. Hearing it mention the palace, isn't this a mausoleum?

Lan Drunk sighed softly, now is not the time for curiosity. The principle of the passage is to figure it out, and the next step that needs to be drawn up is the route out.

Thinking about it, she seemed to have been going around in circles until she met that woman. If Yi Qiē follows her guess, the many passages are coherent, and there is no need to design a roundabout at all, just because once the roundabout is marked, it will be easy for the entrant to see through.

When will a roundabout be designed?

Only there are no channels to switch, and when it comes to the edge of the trap!

As long as Lan Zui returns to the place where the remnant candle fell according to the pace and trampling position when he came, and then keeps walking along the side wall, he can escape from this labyrinth array.

It's not difficult to get back to the original point, Lan Zui is worried that she is going out, how can Rong Thirteen get it?

If it weren't for the fact that the woman had mentioned Mo Qiu by the ghost, Lan Zui really couldn't have thought of the secret of this passage. Moqiu is the current seesaw, which is also made using the principle of levers. Lan Zui has this good luck, but Rong Thirteen may not have it.

But if you go to look for Rong Thirteen, first, you don't know which section of the passage Rong Thirteen was transferred to, and second, if you go in and walk around, Lan Zui may not have the certainty to return to the boundary of the organ. In that case, even if they found Rong Thirteen, the two of them still faced only one way.

Go out first, you can keep one is one!

The glow of the glow stick faded, time was running out, and Lan Zui didn't dare to delay any longer. According to her thoughts, the channel switch can only appear in the position with a corner, and each section of the central passage has three lanes to continue, left, middle and right, and it is easy to turn into another fork in the road without realizing it. The passage at the edge of the trap is only feasible with the original path and a fork, Lan Zui only needs to determine whether this passage is the left or right passage, and then keep stepping on the edge at the inflection point, and the flap will naturally take her all the way into the passage on the edge, and finally go out along this passage.

It's complicated, but it's also simple after Lan Zui thinks about it. The glow faded halfway through, and Lan Drunk could only relight the remaining half of the candle, holding a lighter in his hand to determine the corner.

The light of the lighter flickered on and off because of the rapid movement, and if it was bright and extinguished. The heat generated by the long-term burning of the lighter almost burned off a layer of skin on the blue drunken thumb. Lan drunk as if unconscious, his heart beat like a drum.

If she can't get out again, once the lighting is gone, even if she understands the principle of this passage, it will be in vain.

When the candle positioned behind it suddenly went out, Lan Zui finally saw the end.

A heavy stone wall was blocked in front of him, and Lan Zui crawled in front of the stone wall, desperately kicking the stone wall with his hands and feet, and shouting Bai Suhe's name with all his might.

I don't know how thick the stone wall is, the sound of flesh hitting the stone wall is small and dull, and the blood stains the stone wall, revealing one blood-red mark after another. Just as Blue Drunk was about to despair, the familiar sound of chains sliding under his feet was heard, and a warm orange halo leaked into complete darkness. Lan Zui blocked his vision with his arm, and watched the light gradually widen from the line, and a blurred figure appeared in the middle of the line with the light on his back.

"Ten...... Third brother ......? "After a constant stream of fear, thinking, excitement, despair, and running, Blue Drunk was on the verge of collapse. At this moment, I saw the light and the figure again, and my spirit instantly relaxed.

Kneeling on the ground on his knees, Lan Zui felt a pair of hands hugging him, and then darkness struck, and he didn't know who was there.
