Chapter 357: Turning in circles
"You see, we're actually ...... It's like it's going around in circles. ”
The round thing also had a lid, and after lifting the lid, Mu Liaodong showed the contents to Ruoshui and Li Xian.
Wakasui was surprised to find that it was something like a compass, but it didn't quite look like a compass. Because except for a hand that can be rotated left and right, she does not recognize any of the words of the dial. It is not like the traditional Chinese characters here, but a kind of hieroglyph close to the small seal and the oracle bone inscription, and every tick has a simple and mysterious charm. It's not just a good thing, it's a priceless treasure!
"What is this?"
Even if Ruoshui cares about its "origin", now it has finally been conquered by its exquisite appearance.
"The gadgets handed down from the ancestors~ not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning~"
Mu Liaodong's face was cramped, seemingly modest, but in fact his eyes were full of nervousness. In fact, just by looking at him hiding this thing in the crotch of his pants, you can know that he treats this thing as a treasure like the root of his life. Someone just saved your life, and if you ask for it, will you give it or not? There was no way to answer this question, so he simply came to belittle, hoping that Ruoshui would not have the cheekiness to ask him.
"Look at you scared, I don't want it, just ask, haven't you seen it~"
If Shui didn't understand what Mu Liaodong's expression meant, he naturally scoffed. She is curious, and she is not so good as to be favored. What's more, it's good to be able to take a look at the things that come out of the crotch, who rarely wants them.
was teased by Ruoshui like this. Mu Liaodong himself was a little embarrassed, he smiled shyly, and then began to explain.
"It's called a compass, and it's something that my ancestors have handed down to specialize in Feng Shui. Actually, I don't know how to use it very well, the main parents died early, and they didn't have time to hand it over to me, and their second master didn't leave me anything decent. It's just such a thing, I'll keep it as a thought or something. ”
Mu Liaodong touched the lid of the compass, and a flash of sadness flashed in his eyes. If the water looks. It's not good to continue to ask, so I can only wait for him to finish grieving before continuing to ask.
Fortunately, Mu Liaodong didn't keep being so sad, he sighed softly, and then said with a straight face.
"Look. This pointer. Now we don't mean due west......"
"So what does that mean? It's not that you have to go due west to get to Tami, we ......."
"But I also saw it when I first came out of the cave, and it was indeed pointing due west. And, see as I ......."
Mu Liaodong suddenly took a few steps in front of the two, and then turned back and motioned for the two to follow him, and focused on the compass.
Ruoshui followed behind him in disbelief, but walked and walked. His face began to change. Because she found that according to the state of her own looking. It's going in a straight line, but the pointer is actually turning slightly south. In fact, there is no problem with the rotation itself, because no one stipulates that the direction of this underground mausoleum must be due west and east, or any other direction, but now it is only a little distance, and the pointer has already turned significantly, so calculated, they have been running for so long, it is very likely that they have been turning in circles in place!
It's a puzzle!
If you feel it, a layer of cold sweat immediately appears on your body. It's not terrible to go around in circles, but the terrible thing is that they don't know that they are spinning in place, if they keep spinning like this, then I'm afraid that even if they die, they won't be able to get out of this mausoleum.
"You...... You ......"
She couldn't find the right words to describe how she felt now, she could only point to the compass in Mu Liaodong's hand, stammered for a long time, and couldn't say a few words.
"Miss Xiao, haven't you noticed anything abnormal? So be it~ You close your eyes, only hold the corner of my clothes, or don't look at the nearby lanterns, just look at my compass, let me take it away, we only believe in the pointer of the compass, and soon you will find out that something is wrong. ”
Ruoshui didn't refute, nor did she emphasize that she had seen the clues, she just frowned and looked at Mu Liaodong, and then said word by word.
"Li Xian looks at the road, I look at the compass, you lead the way in front, how about it?"
Mu Liaodong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, he felt that Ruoshui's proposal would make it easier for them to find out that something was wrong.
The three of them said that it would start, Mu Liaodong immediately turned around and began to walk back, Ruoshui did not have any objections and followed, and although Li Xian's face was full of doubts, he was not a person who liked to question, he saw that Ruoshui did not have a big reaction, so he put his heart back in his stomach and followed together.
Not long after leaving, Li Xian let out a soft sound of doubt, but although Ruoshui heard it, he forced himself to keep his eyes on the compass tightly and not look at anything. This time she was pretty sure that the hands of the compass had not moved, and that they were indeed heading due east, barely off.
After a while, she felt that Li Xian suddenly stood up and said something with some stumbling.
"Do you want to continue?"
"Of course."
Mu Liaodong in front of him also paused, but he still didn't have any remorse, and even his tone didn't mean anything special, it was completely different from Li Xian's nervousness, and he was very brisk.
Ruoshui didn't look up to look up at the situation because she couldn't bear it, she felt that her eyes were about to be sore, tears were rolling in her eyes, and the basic action of blinking seemed to be the most extravagant wish now.
After such a short pause, Li Xian finally took a deep breath and took a step, and Mu Liaodong also walked away. Ruoshui felt that their speed seemed to slow down a little, but the needle on the compass was still as steady as she had been watching.
Such a slow speed did not last too long, and soon, she heard Li Xian's sudden sigh, and then, another exclamation!
"Ahh......h It's not ......"
"But look up, Miss Xiao~"
Mu Liaodong's tone was a little proud, but also a little heavy. Ruoshui raised his head, and immediately understood why Li Xian was so amazed.
It turned out that the sarcophagus actually stopped in front of their eyes. Why are you sure that the sarcophagus is the original one? Because Ruoshui also saw that the hole where they had climbed up was also in the same position before, and there was even a torch there, which was now extinguished, and it was really the one that Mu Liaodong still fell when he climbed out.
