Chapter 244: The Story of the Reverse
Judging from the results of the current attempts, if you want to leave here, in addition to defeating this Peach Blossom Mystery Beast, you can only rush out by yourself, and this Peach Blossom Mystery Beast has no weaknesses.
If he is in peak condition and has a lot of Xuanka on his body, he may not be able to do this second point.
The "fire" after the combination of the "Ling Feng Divine Pattern" can be used as a means to block the branches from approaching him, and with the Qi Rush Card and the speed of the Ling Feng Divine Spectrum, he may be able to break free directly, and the coverage of the branches is also limited, he only needs to reach the position where these branches cannot extend past, and he can successfully escape.
But he doesn't have anything now, and even if he does, he can't use the "Ling Feng Divine Spectrum" and the Ling Feng Divine Pattern, otherwise his identity will be directly revealed.
Han Xu sighed, the current situation is undoubtedly unsolvable, but he also knows that since it appears in the exam, it should not be unsolvable, unless the school deliberately sets up this dilemma, just to torture unlucky candidates like themselves, but the void door is not so neurotic, and such a design is too worthless.
Wang Baixu's face appeared in his heart, and the twists and turns played in the previous qualification exam also appeared in Han Xu's mind.
Something is wrong.
Something must be wrong.
It is impossible for the school to use the unsolvable situation as a means of examination, so there must be a way to resolve the crisis, but what is wrong?
Han Xu frowned and turned around and walked back.
As he walked back, the rattling peach grove stopped ringing like a wind chime that had suddenly been grabbed by someone, and only the peach blossoms were still flying in the air, drawing a romantic curve in the air with the cold wind.
Peach Blossom Puzzle Beast, Peach Blossom Puzzle, a puzzle that has not been solved for more than a thousand years, of course, it is not something that can be directly settled in a while, otherwise it is impossible for the Xumen School to use it as an exam question for them.
Among all the candidates in terms of strength, except for a few, there should be no one who can directly rush out, so the way to crack it should be in the way of thinking. It's just that this kind of thing is thinking, as long as you figure it out, you will open the sky and the sky, and if you can't figure it out, it will be the bottom of the abyss, and any attempt can only be broken to pieces, not to the other side.
Han Xu knew this very well, so he was not discouraged and did not despair.
On the way back, he still tried to leave the peach forest through the side of the peach blossom forest, but all of them were intercepted without exception, and it could be judged that there was no difference at all in the reaction speed of the branches, so it seems that the current situation is even more obvious: they really can't leave this peach blossom paradise by rushing this way of death, and this peach paradise is not a hole in the net, they can't escape in the hole like a fish that has slipped through the net.
Since it is impossible to run out, the first plan fails, and the second plan also fails, so what other way can you get out?
The cold continues to be full of troubles.
People are troubled and sorrowful, but time is as fast as ever, and the countdown on the electronic watch is still beating minute by minute without cherishing, with the river at the source of the peach forest winding towards the dark forest ahead.
......
The afternoon sun slowly disappeared, obscured by the clouds that covered the sky like a large lead-gray umbrella, and it seemed that it would rain if you were not careful, but at three o'clock in the afternoon, it already had a dark color that only had six or seven o'clock on weekdays.
Han Xu's face was solemn because of his contemplation, and it became even deeper.
And when he walked back, when he approached the center of the ten-mile peach forest, he raised his head and suddenly found something different - on the cliff on the left, there were dense words inscribed with black carbon ink, which was very conspicuous.
"It's ......"
Han Xu stepped forward curiously, and only after getting closer did he see clearly, each character was strong and powerful, and it seemed to have been weathered and partially decolorized, but it was not traditional but a simplified character formulated by the Federation for more than 40 years, so the history of its handwriting itself should not be too long.
This dense text is not written with other content, but one of the articles that they must learn in their night school and even in the basic cultural teaching of regular colleges and universities - "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring".
"In the Jin Taiyuan Dynasty, the Wuling people fished for their business. Walk around the river, forget the distance of the road. Suddenly, the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful. The fisherman is very different. Moving forward, I want to exhaust the forest......"
The article is word-for-word, it is the famous "Peach Blossom Spring".
He had always been very observant, and felt that it was impossible that he had just missed it, but that it appeared when it returned. At this point, Han Xu is very confident.
Of course, Han Xu would not believe that this was a hint given to him by Teacher Wang Baixu who took pity on his talent, or that this peach blossom riddle beast was stumped by himself and deliberately made an article to humiliate him...... He intuitively felt that this was the setting that the Peach Blossom Mystery Beast appeared here, and the school would make a good decision with it.
So, that's the tip?
But what is this article prompting?
There's a cave here, and after you drill through it, you'll suddenly open up and go to another otherworldly fairyland?
But......
Han continued to look up, whether it was the mountain wall or anywhere, there was not the slightest trace of a cave. This inference is untenable.
Han Xu slid his hand and touched each font, and he could also make sure that there was no mechanism hidden under the font.
The text seems to be just words, but this text is meant to explain something, so why did I have nothing when I walked by just now, and there was it when I came back?
Han continued to understand.
The article related to the Peach Blossom Mystery Beast for the first time should be this "Peach Blossom Spring", which is just the existence expressed by the Peach Blossom Spring, not the Peach Blossom Mystery Beast, but this is indeed one of the very few materials about the Peach Blossom Mystery Beast.
Then this article appears on the wall, it is no accident, it must have its meaning, but I can't figure it out for a while.
So Han continued to cheer up and continued to observe the articles on the mountain wall, trying to find any clues.
Every word, every word, even every punctuation, he read it carefully and repeatedly, keeping it firmly in his mind, only fearing that the next moment, just like the way it appeared, would disappear inexplicably, and then this might be the only clue to their escape from this paradise will also disappear.
Dozens of minutes passed, and Han Xu remembered every detail as clearly as his name, but he still didn't find any abnormalities.
"What the hell does that mean?"
Still can't figure it out.
When he came back to his senses, he turned on his electronic watch to check the time, only to realize that he had forgotten himself and did not notice that his teammates had made more than a dozen solo calls and group calls, and the above was full of reminders that the call was not connected.
When Han Xu was about to reply, Ma Ying's shout came from a distance.
"Cold!"
Han Xu leaned out and waved his hand at a shadow stepping on the petals on the side, "I'm here!"
Seeing that Han Xu was safe and sound, Ma Yingcai, who was anxious, breathed a sigh of relief, reported the situation of the other two teammates through the electronic watch, and then ran to Han Xu's front and said angrily: "Why don't you call back, it's scared us to death." ”
Han continued to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm fascinated by things." ”
"What's that?"
"Look. Han continued to pick his chin and pointed at the wall.
Ma Ying looked over curiously, looking at the strong black letters, with a blank face, "Peach Blossom Spring?"
"Hmm. Han Xu nodded.
"You wrote that?"
"No," Han Xu shook his head and crossed his hands over his chest, "The sudden appearance, I think it should be a prompt from the school, I want to see if there are any clues, so I was fascinated and forgot to tell you." ”
Ma Ying's head was tilted, and her cute short hair tilted towards the side like a beaded curtain, revealing her curved eyebrows. She stared curiously at the text on it, confused, and really didn't understand what hints it contained.
Her action reminded Han Xu of a certain girl who had died, and his heart ached coldly, and the color in front of him became much darker......
But now is not the time to remember and grieve, Han Xu regained his spirits and restrained all his wrong emotions.
"Is this article just to tell us that the monsters we are encountering now have something to do with the Peach Blossom Spring, which is the speculation we have already made. Ma Ying turned her head to look at Han Xu.
"That's not right," Han Xu shook his head, directly rejecting her statement, "When I was in the qualification exam, in addition to the Xuanka, there were also some questions about wisdom, one of which was that the teacher placed three doors in the room, which had the examination questions of Xuanka, Weapons and Martial Arts, and I needed to select the exam question of Xuanka." At first, I thought it was a blind guess, but then I found out that there were three small rooms, the first room was the existence of the door facing the examination room, and it happened to be the first, so I pushed the door in, and it was indeed the exam question of Xuanka. ”
Han Xu turned his head to look at the girl who was listening to him intently, and said: "So the design of the void door has absolute truth, for example, why the examination room is not placed in the center, for example, why there is no word on the stone wall when I walk over, but when I come back, there is suddenly one." ”
"Could it be," Ma Ying said tentatively, "could it be that someone secretly wrote it while you walked over?"
Han continued to cry and laugh, pointing to the classical font that was obviously impossible to forge in a short time: "Do you look like it? Besides, this peach blossom forest is only long, not wide, and no one can avoid my eyes when I walk around." ”
"What does that mean?" Ma Ying stomped her feet in frustration.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she said curiously: "Didn't you go over, but you came back?"
"Hmm. ”
"So, is that possible, telling us to think backwards?"
Han Xu's eyes widened slightly, as if he had suddenly looked through the cliff, the brilliance in his eyes condensed, he turned his head in a daze, and looked at Ma Ying, who was waiting for his answer with a confused face, only to feel that in his chaotic mind, somewhere suddenly loosened, just like this Wuling man who fished for a living, drilled through the cave and suddenly opened up.
Return, reverse.
When you get to the end, you need to go back. Positive thinking doesn't work, perhaps because the positive thinking is wrong, and the reverse thinking is correct.
The withered vines that were entangled in Han Xu's heart because of thinking about this question untied one by one, and the light that was bound inside spread its wings and flew out of it like a phoenix breaking out of its shell.
Han Xu laughed and said, "I know." ”
"Got it?" Ma Ying was even more confused, "What do you know?" ”
"I know, I know!" Han Xu laughed.
"You know what? you're talking!" Ma Ying shouted angrily.
"Let's go, let's go back. Han Xu smiled and said, "We can get out of here." ”
......
......
Bai Liuyi interrupted the card making, but stood up and watched Han Xu curiously as he prepared.
Wang Yanyan also squatted to the side, looking at him puzzled.
Ma Ying's curiosity was already full of almost explosions, grinding her teeth angrily on the side.
Under the gaze of the three of them, Han Xu squatted in the clearing next to the river and lit a fire.
At noon, when they were cooking, in order to prevent the smoke from flying into the sky and revealing their location, they also deliberately controlled the flames just right, and then kept fanning the wind to blow the smoke away, but what Han Xu was doing now was to deliberately make a dark fire, and then cover it with damp leaves, and a puff of smoke rose into the sky like a tornado.
Under the clouds, it still looks extraordinarily clear, and with the sky, it ignites a sense that a big war is coming.
"What are you doing here?" asked Ma Ying, confused as her toes swirled on the wet ground, a small hole in the soft clay.
"Deliberately attract people over, and then pull them into the water?"
Han Xu smiled and said, "No, if someone else comes, we can get out of danger." ”
"Someone else can get out of danger when they come?" Although she just said that she had to think backwards, she didn't understand what the inevitable connection was with whether others came or not.
"Ma Ying, what you said is right, you need to think backwards, and this thing that you think backwards is still inseparable from the Peach Blossom Spring, so the truth is not anything else, but the story is the opposite. Han Xu raised his head and looked around at the three pairs of eyes that were staring at him in unison, making him feel so uncomfortable.
"Is the story the opposite?" Bai Liuyi thought for a moment, and then had an epiphany: "What do you mean ......?"
"Hmm. Han Xu nodded, he knew that Bai Liuyi understood what he meant.
"The article related to the Peach Blossom Mystery Beast was the Peach Blossom Spring, but the real story is not what Tao Yuanming recorded, but a story that is the opposite.
To solve the current situation, we still have to start with this story.
I was thinking before,How did the person who accidentally broke into the Peach Blossom Spring,How did he come in and leave.,After all, he shouldn't have any cultivation strong enough to defeat the Peach Blossom Mystery Beast.,Otherwise, the story shouldn't have evolved into the current version.,So the real story should be what the school prompted.,It's the opposite.。
The Peach Blossom Mystery Beast is the pervert in the mouth of the king's eyes, all it wants is to trap people here to accompany itself, so if you want to get out of the shackles of the Peach Blossom Mystery Beast, the only condition is that someone can replace you, or rather, there is a group of people who can replace yourself.
So follow the prompts and think the other way around, just root
This is a crime, and because it is too bizarre and touches people's perverted psychology, he is eager to write and record it, and because the means are despicable and harm the rest of the people, he fictionalized the story into such a version that has been handed down, and it has reached Tao Yuanming's ears, and it has become the famous Peach Blossom Spring. Maybe the Peach Blossom Mystery Beast couldn't move at all, and others couldn't find it, because he made up a fictitious place for people to find in order not to be revealed, rather than being scared away by people as later generations speculated.
It is even possible that the so-called Wuling man in the article who harmed others to get himself out of danger, and then made up a story, "Han continued to take a deep breath," is ...... Tao Yuanming himself. ”
