Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Wormhole Maze
I was half frightened by his words, and I turned my head to look, only to find that the stone statue was motionless, how could it be alive as he said?
"Grandpa, I'm cowardly, don't scare me!" I said angrily, but I saw that his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water: "You take a good look at it and take a closer look at its appearance." ”
I said in my heart that no matter how I look at it, it's not all like that, will it still change? Just thinking about it, I heard the Taoist priest exclaim: "Hey! Damn, the face has changed, the face has changed. ”
"What's that?" I turned my head to look, but I saw him staring at the stone statue with a shocked face, as if he had seen a ghost, and he was busy looking at it.
At first glance, it was still the same, just about to ask the Taoist priest to see something, but his eyes suddenly saw that the face of the stone statue was moving, its original sharp-beaked monkey cheek face slowly grinned, the sharp mouth turned into a round chin, it looked like a laughing Maitreya Buddha, but that smile looked extremely evil.
I thought I had seen it wrong, so I rubbed my eyes vigorously, but found that no, the face of the stone statue was indeed moving, and in the blink of an eye, the rest of the stone statue seemed to have become different from just now.
Cold sweat broke out in an instant, and the hair on his body exploded, and at the same time, the Taoist priest pointed to several stone statues around him and shouted: "Damn, it's not just that, these are also moving." ”
I don't need to look at it to know that what the Taoist priest said is true, these stone statues seem to be really alive, I damn it, but how can this stone carved thing move?
I immediately thought of the mechanism, but then I denied it, no matter how delicate the mechanism is, it can only control the changes of the stone statues, but now these stone statues have even changed their appearance. What the hell are these things? Sun Monkey, will he be seventy-two fucking changes?
Thinking about it, I don't know what to do all of a sudden, I finally know why I can't get out after walking for so long, this is completely a constantly changing labyrinth, if it weren't for the old man's sharp eyes to find the clues of the stone statue, I'm afraid that we won't know that we have lost our way until we die.
The old man looked around, and told us not to panic, saying that the stone statue had only changed its appearance, so that we could not perceive that we had lost our way, and that it had not actually changed its position. What really lost us was the distribution of the statues.
At this time, the Taoist priest said: "Then in this case, we might as well make our own reference points, and then use the good reference points as the mark to march in a straight line, if it is just a trick, we will definitely be able to get out." ”
I think the Taoist method is feasible, I usually like to watch some survival programs, and I can use this method to get out of the predicament when I get lost in the dense tropical rainforest, which is similar to our current situation, maybe it is feasible.
The old man didn't think so, saying that there was such a simple answer, and ridiculed the monk as a Taoist heir but didn't know the formation, saying that we were trapped in a maze.
The Taoist priest didn't believe it, and said that if it was a formation, he would have seen it, and I told them not to fight, wouldn't it be better if they tried it?
It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't necessarily see it when you made a mark, but the light of our flashlight was the best sign. I turned the flashlight in one direction and told the Taoist priest to go straight, I stayed where the old man and I were, watching the Taoist priest slowly walk to the end of the light, I was just about to tell him to stop, but I found that his figure disappeared at once.
My heart sank, and before I could think about it, there was a sudden movement behind me. The old man reacted very quickly, turned around and grabbed it with a smooth movement, and at once he grabbed the thing that made a sound behind us.
"Oh, it's me, let go!"
"Why are you here? You're not ......."
I was stunned for a moment, the Taoist priest also didn't know why, said that he was walking, and suddenly saw a black area in front of the flashlight that was different from other darkness, he just touched it, and immediately pierced it, and then he was caught by the old man inexplicably.
"Darkness different from darkness?" I shook my flashlight and looked around, and I did find several areas where the beam could not pass through, one of which was less than five meters in front of us, like a wall coated with light-absorbing material, and it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see.
We cautiously stepped forward, and found that it was not a wall, but a black vortex like a space warp, slowly turning, and the flashlight shone on it, completely swallowed up without a trace. Since this thing is completely integrated with the surrounding dark environment, it is difficult to find clues without careful observation, and I am afraid that we have encountered it more than once before.
Remembering what the Taoist priest said, I tentatively walked into the whirlpool, and there was no change in front of me, but I had already appeared next to a stone statue of the Taoist priest seven or eight meters away.
Now I was completely stunned, and suddenly understood the reason why we got lost for no reason, not a trick, not a formation, but a portal! Damn, something that only exists in the movie actually made me meet it in reality, and it's fucking incredible.
Seeing that I had disappeared, the Taoist priest and the old man also walked into the whirlpool, and sure enough, they all appeared beside me out of thin air.
The Taoist priest was so shocked that his mouth grew and muttered to himself: "I have long heard that cultivation has reached a certain realm, and the power of space can be touched, and Taoism also has a legend of supernatural powers that shrink the ground into inches, Lao Tzu didn't believe it before, but now, even if I tell me that there is really an immeasurable heavenly venerable, I also believe it." ”
I prefer to believe that this is a spatial wormhole effect than the metaphysics that the Taoist priest said, but is this thing naturally formed or artificially created? If it's the latter, then it's too terrible, what kind of technology can control the power of space, you must know that with today's human technology, it is completely impossible to touch the skin of this field.
Of course, this is just my guess, after all, this thing is too shocking.
We searched carefully and found more than a dozen whirlpools suspected to be caused by the wormhole effect, so we marked them with a pile of rubble, and then avoided the whirlpools and walked in a straight line, and finally walked out of the stone henge.
I still don't know why the stone statue can change form, but I feel extremely lucky to be able to get out of the stone statue maze unharmed.
The Taoist priest glanced back at the stone statues, his expression still puzzled, so I asked him what was wrong.
"Don't you think it's too easy for us to get out of the maze like this?"
I said in my heart that you were completely cheap and obedient this dog's day, so I scolded angrily: "What's the matter, you're not happy to come out, don't you have to be trapped in it half to death to feel normal?" Damn, are you sick? ”
"You're fucking sick." The Taoist priest scolded unhappily, "Think about it, these strange stone statues are standing here, they can't just be people who come in for entertainment, right?" If this is a means of defense, you have seen it, as long as you are careful, once you find those whirlpools, it is only a matter of time before they come out, who can such a thing prevent? ”
