Chapter 30: The Mirage
As a result, mirages can also make it difficult for you to identify targets, estimate range, spot people, etc. However, if you go to a higher place and rise 10 feet above the desert floor, you can avoid the hot air close to the surface and thus overcome the mirage illusion. In short, with a slight adjustment of the height of the look-and-see, the mirage phenomenon will disappear, or its appearance and height will change.
Li Luant stepped on the darkness with one foot, unharmed, looked at Luan Jingjing with a smile, and looked for her hand, "You come here." β
Luan Jingjing's eyes didn't have time to look, and her expression was stagnant, "How is it possible?" How can it be? But out of trust in Li Luant, she still took the initiative to take a step, although she knew that she and Li Luant were not on the same level at all now, and if she stepped out, it was very likely that she would be crushed.
"Rub-a-"
Luan Jingjing didn't dare to breathe, but when her feet moved in the dark, she opened her closed eyes and saw that she was actually standing in the dark, and covered her mouth in disbelief for a moment, "This-I-" pointed to herself and then to her feet, showing a look of surprise and panic.
Li Luant smiled, "We were all deceived by this Fan Li, before I thought that he set up a device at the entrance of this room, as soon as he entered the door, so that non-human creatures would die once they stepped in, because he hated sharks, and even hated humans, now that I think about it, it is a big mistake, he is not disgusted with sharks, on the contrary, he must have left ancestral teachings for the mermaids before, telling them that this room must not enter, otherwise they will die." β
That's because, once these mermaids enter the room, they will become dry bones under this foundation, dying silently, and the tomb robbers who come in will also be trapped in this trick forever, immortal and forever, trapped by their endless suspicions.
Sure enough, sure enough.
Li Luant shook his head with a smile: because of preconceived notions before, those mermaids fell into the darkness and disappeared in front of their eyes, in order to create an illusion for themselves, so that the tomb robbers who stepped into it thought that the darkness was a certain death, so they no longer dared to make a big mistake, and then combined this trick with the psychological shadows and obstacles caused to the tomb robbers before, there was no way to break it.
What a clever plan! Attack the enemy first!
Bai Jiangqiu stood steadily in front of the three of them, and sure enough, he originally seemed to be standing diagonally on the wall to the left of Li Luan, and when he stepped through the endless darkness and countless strange space corridors, and came to Luan Jingjing and Li Luan, who had already converged, his figure was also constantly changing, transforming from this space to that space, the closer he got, the bigger and bigger his body became, and finally he suddenly returned to a point, completely shrunk, and stood solidly in front of the two of them.
That's right, this space that seems to have more than a hundred spaces is not what the naked eye can see, in fact, there is only one real space, which is the three-dimensional space where the three people are, and there has been no cornices and walls, several people have always stepped on the ground solidly, but someone is standing at different points, because the darkness does not dare to overcome, so under all kinds of coincidences, strange different directions have been formed.
Li Luant protected Luan Jingjing behind him, "I'm afraid of this, you Bai Jiangqiu would have found out a long time ago, if this room was such an institution, then 25 years ago, you would definitely know the reason." "But you didn't say a word, or say anything.
Bai Jiangqiu laughed and looked at Li Luant, "That's right, I do know." β
Yes, this organ, as long as people who have experienced it will inevitably be deeply impressed, maybe when they first experience it, they will panic, or it is possible that Li Reform found out that something was wrong first, but since he can solve it, then the people who are trapped with him will definitely know about it.
"Why didn't you say it on purpose? Aren't you trapped with us? β
Bai Jiangqiu didn't care, "I don't say it, naturally I have my reasons, besides, I also want to test and test how much ability you Li Green Ant has." β
Li Luant frowned, obviously not understanding the meaning of what he said.
"If your ability is not as good as your father's, then you don't have the ability to repair that deficiency, if you really have your father's ability, how can this small space trap you?"
Li Luant sneered, "I'm afraid that the test is fake, I'm afraid you took advantage of the opportunity just now, thinking that I have exposed your lie and made you reveal your true identity, you can't hide it, so you want to win our trust by being in a crisis situation together, so as to achieve your ulterior purpose." β
Indeed, whether it is the love between men and women, or the love of brothers, no matter what feelings, as long as they are spent together in a crisis, often in the end, such feelings will be extended and deepened, which is what the ancients called "adversity to see the truth", so some psychologists said that if men and women want to cultivate feelings when they meet for the first time, in order to achieve their own goals, in addition to wearing red clothes on the first date, take the initiative to run, so that they can capture your existence, so as to cause men to stay in the body in ancient times, In addition to the bloody joy and achievement brought by the nature of catching prey, it is also necessary to deliberately create a crisis environment, so that it can quickly leave an impression on you in the brain, remember you, and produce a sense of trust after the crisis, such a feeling can make him linger for a long time, and there is a large probability of forming a partner with you.
Bai Jiangqiu sneered, "Among you fools, there is finally a smart person-" Bai Jiangqiu did not deny what Li Luant said, because it was the truth, the facts were indisputable, and he approached Li Luant lightly, "Smart people are likable, but they are too smart, and they will be disgusted." β
Guessed right.
It seems that this Bai Jiangqiu really wants to use this matter to establish some meager trust among several people, and let himself and Luan Jingjing help him do something, but he doesn't know what it is.
"Those people" are really a set, in order to achieve the goal, any means will be used, it was before, and it is now, Wang Blind is one of them, and he has also wasted a lot of effort and made up big lies, and now I don't know what happened to the gold ingots.
This Bai Jiangqiu obviously knew how to go out, but he deliberately didn't say it, presumably as long as a few people were really exhausted in the end, he would inevitably take the initiative to announce the answer, and then he and Luan Jingjing would be even more obedient to him.
"Li Luant, I don't understand, you just said that this is a little trick used by Fan Li after psychological warfare, that little trick is a mirage, but mirages are often produced in the sea and deserts, and mirages are the result of refraction of light rays in different air layers with different densities in the direction of a straight line, and this is not a desert, how can it be?"
Since ancient times, mirages have been the focus of the world. In Western mythology, mirages are depicted as the embodiment of the devil, a bad omen of death and misfortune. In ancient China, the mirage was regarded as a fairyland, Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had led people to Penglai to visit the fairyland, and also sent people to Penglai many times to seek a panacea. Modern science has given a correct explanation for most mirages, believing that mirages are virtual images formed by the refraction of light reflected by objects on the earth through the atmosphere, and the so-called mirages are optical illusions.
There are many types of mirages: according to the position of its appearance relative to the original object, it can be divided into epimirage, inferior mirage and lateral mirage; According to its symmetrical relationship with the original, it can be divided into regular mirage, lateral mirage, paramirage and reverse mirage; According to the color, it can be divided into color mirage, non-color mirage, and so on.
As far as the formation of the mirage is concerned. The scorching sun in the desert in summer is at the head, the sand is scorched, because the specific heat of the sand is small, the temperature rises very quickly, the temperature of the lower layer of air near the sand rises very high, and the temperature of the upper layer of air is still very low, so that the abnormal distribution of air temperature is formed, due to the thermal expansion and contraction, the density of the lower layer of hot air close to the sand is small and the density of the upper layer of cold air is large, so that the refractive index of the air is small in the lower layer and large in the upper layer. When the light reflected by a distant higher object is constantly refracted from the denser air in the upper layer into the sparse air in the lower layer, the angle of incidence gradually increases, and when it increases to an equal to the critical angle, total reflection occurs, at this time, if people look at the reflected light in the opposite direction, they will see the mirage.
Li Luant smiled slightly, and reflexively explained, "Mirage, its essence is an optical phenomenon. The appearance of mirages is closely related to geographical location, geophysical conditions, and the meteorological characteristics of those places at a given time. The abnormal distribution of air temperature is the meteorological condition for the formation of most mirages. In places such as calm seas, rivers, lakes, snowfields, deserts, or the Gobi, there are occasionally illusions such as tall buildings, city outlines, and trees in the air or underground, which is called a mirage. This kind of illusion often appears on the sea surface of Penglai in Shandong Province of our country, the ancients attributed it to the mirage of the genus of the dragon, exhaled into the outline of the tower, so it was named. β
"Shandong Penglai?" Luan Jingjing blinked, "Isn't that just-"
"Yes, our brains think that light always travels in a straight line, but when light rays pass through the cool, dense atmosphere below, they are refracted downward, so distant objects appear higher in the brain than they actually are. Mirages often occur at sea, because the air humidity and thickness of the space within a certain range of the sea are relatively large, so that the large area of water vapor under the movement of the air inadvertently forms a huge lens system. β
"What did you forget about it above our heads?"
Luan Jingjing looked around a little strangely, "But is this possible?" Is it possible to artificially display the mirage really properly? β
Li Luant waved his hand, "As long as it is artificial, it is possible, and the ancients were very smart, not as dull as we thought, what we can't think of, but Fan Li has already figured it out." β
The candle was still burning, Li Green Ant took the initiative to go forward and extinguish one, and sure enough, after extinguishing a candle, the space that originally had more than a hundred dimensions disappeared in an instant, and the volume in the darkness was even larger.
Bai Jiangqiu's face did not fluctuate, obviously he had known these things that Li Luant said, Luan Jingjing was curious about everything that happened around him, but Li Luant did not forget his original intention.
"Since my father has already taken you out of here, you must know how to get out?"
This space formed by a mirage only confuses people's eyes, but Bai Jiangqiu wants to use it to confuse his own and Luan Jingjing's minds, which is really hateful.
Li Luant was merciless, Bai Jiangqiu raised his eyebrows, "If you go out, you can get out." β
Butβ
Li Luant took a breath: "What do you want?" β
"I said, the purpose of coming to you is just to fix the error, if you promise me to help me, I will naturally let you out."
"I don't know how to fix what you said, and you didn't even tell me what you were going to fix."
"You'll know." Bai Jiangqiu said inscrutablely, "Now, are you willing to promise me?" β
Li Luant looked at Luan Jingjing beside him, "If I promise you this matter for the sake of temporary expediency, aren't you afraid that I will regret it afterwards?" β
"You are different from others, if you Li Green Ant repents on what you promised, it also proves that our intelligence system is worse than your Snow Leopard Commando."
I don't know why, Li Luant always felt that Luan Jingjing had an urge to tear Bai Jiangqiu alive when she heard this, so she hurriedly stopped Luan Jingjing and stood up by herself, "I promise you, but I also have an additional request." β
"Oh? Let's hear it. β
Li Luant looked at Bai Jiangqiu's eyes seriously: Although this skin bag is not necessarily Bai Jiangqiu's, and this body may not be his, but this is Bai Jiangqiu standing in front of him.
"I want you to tell me, who was the other person who planned you in the Fangla Underground Palace?"
Bai Jiangqiu laughed, "Do you think I'm stupid enough to tell you this?" β
"You asked me to fix that thing, now you have to ask me, and if I and Luan Jingjing can't get out, you are also in a hurry to get out, right, otherwise you wouldn't be so impatient, and you will be in danger and trap you in this place with us." Li Luant looked at Bai Jiangqiu's expression and said eloquently, he found that Bai Jiangqiu's face was getting more and more ugly, and sure enough, he guessed correctly.
Bai Jiangqiu said viciously, "Even if I tell you, it's useless." β
"If it's useless, why can't you say it?"
It was necessary to use his power now, because his father-
Bai Jiangqiu gritted his teeth, "If I tell you a lie, you will be helpless." β
"Whether it's a lie or not, I can naturally tell, you just need to answer my question."
Damn it.
Bai Jiangqiu was sullen for a while, "That person, you also know it, it's Xu Weihang." β
It's Xu Weihang.
Li Luant was shocked by this news, and cross-examined, "How is it possible, that Xu Weihang-"
"Dead?" Bai Jiangqiu sneered, "How have you ever seen him die with your own eyes?" β
"But you saidβ"
"I executed that Zong Yuan in front of you, but Xu Weihang-" Is Bai Jiangqiu's words true or false? That's right, Xu Weihang's death is not something to watch, it can't be distinguished, and there is no way to verify it, such a thing is really pinched in his own sore spot, no wonder this Bai Jiangqiu said it so calmly, the reason is that it already takes a lot of time and energy to confirm whether this is a lie or not, no matter whether the final result is true or false, it doesn't matter.
"Then Xu Weihang is obviously the son of a wealthy merchant Zongyuan, when did he join you?"
"I only promised to answer you one question, I didn't promise to answer you a bunch of questions, and now that the questions are finished, do you still count what you said before?"
Li Luant took a deep breath, "Make a number, as long as we can get out, I will naturally do my best to help you." "Although it is seeking skin with the tiger, it is ready to shoot and has to be sent.
Bai Jiangqiu ordered Li Luant and Luan Jingjing to turn around, but when the two of them squatted down, they didn't know what they were doing, they only heard the sound of "scandium scandium", a wall that was originally good at the end, suddenly like an elevator, "clattering" rose up, falling layers of ash, and just opened a small crack, Bai Jiangqiu was like a mouse, quickly drilled out.
Bai Jiangqiu left quickly, but hit his head on the person facing him, raised his eyes in disbelief, and looked at the person in surprise, "How is it possible?" It's you? β
How are you still alive?!
"Boom-" the man smiled grimly, "as if you don't want to see me here, I'm still alive and well, are you surprised?" β
As soon as the door opened a small crack, Bai Jiangqiu quickly got out like a mouse.
Running backwards.
Li Luant and Luan Jingjing looked at each other and smiled, but they were very excited in their hearts: they were finally able to go out, they had consumed at least two days here, and there were only three or four days' worth of food and water left.
The giant gate is rising, Li Green Ant is in front, Luan Jingjing is behind, the eyes of the two move with the rise and fall of the giant gate, but at this moment, Luan Jingjing pulled Li Green Ant's sleeve, and wanted to say something, a very strange, as if being stared at in the dark, the feeling of being stared at by someone surged into Li Green Ant's heart, the giant door "clanged" and opened completely, Luan Jingjing was suddenly pulled away by a huge force, and a short knife was across her neck.
The place I encountered was a huge golden hall of prayer like a lamp tower, its shape was huge, and the murals carved on the wall were all white marble. There are 18 lampposts neatly arranged on both sides of the lamp tower, 9 are evenly set on both sides, and are composed of the square seat of the pot door, the round seat of the lotus, the octagonal stone pillar and the Yanglian tray, and the height is 3.4 meters. The stone pillar carving can be divided into three parts: the lower part of each side of the pointed arch niche, the relief carving in the niche will be musical, of which seven sides or kneel or sit on the lotus seat, play the flute, pipa, pan flute and other musical instruments, one side is the dance posture music of the long practice of hand-held.
Passing through a rectangular corridor in the middle, not far in front of you is a lotus platform with a golden Guanyin. Looking up, you can see the inscriptions on the top of your head and on the left and right sides of the heart of Prajnaparamita, the Burning Lamp, the Knowing Lamp, and the name and official title of the sponsor. The preface and eulogy are in regular script, and the cursive script is interspersed.
The upper part of the stone pillar is carved with a double-layer pointed arch niche, and a Buddha statue is carved in the niche, a total of 16 statues. There are two kinds of Buddha statue hairstyles: high meat bun and snail bun, both of which have lotus petal head light. The costume can be divided into several kinds such as shoulder robe and right robe. The Buddha seat is an octagonal or circular seat, and the sitting posture is mostly sitting, there are also good stumbling seats, stepping on lotus flowers, and the Buddha statue mudras are different from each other, saying that they are fearless, meditating, etc. The Yanglian tray is engraved with two grooves, and the center is a circular shallow hole.
The stone lamp carving technique seen by the eye is fine and rigorous, and the style is solemn and simple, which is a typical feature of the Spring and Autumn Period at a glance.
"Jingjing!"
Li Luant stopped looking at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him when the stone door opened and closed, but he was a little frightened for no reason, this person didn't know why, the skin seemed to be torn open by some sharp claws, as long as it was exposed skin, there was no good meat, especially between the neck, and it was covered with black fish scales.
It's fish scales!
Li Luant suddenly thought of the corpse of Su Jiu that he saw in the ancestral hall, wasn't it exactly the same as this person?
Could it be that he was scratched by those black fish spirits, but he survived because of all kinds of adventures?
Who is this man?
"You let go of her, who are you?!"
Luan Jingjing's chest trembled a little, as if he was frightened by the sudden movement, the man's face was festering, but the black scales were getting denser and denser, his face was bloody, and when he saw Li Green Ant, his heart was full of hatred.
"Don't you recognize me? Li Green Ant, you should keep your eyes open and see who Lao Tzu is?! β
The man gritted his teeth, Luan Jingjing's face was pale, and no one expected this variable that suddenly appeared, Li Luant looked at it for a long time, because this person's face was seriously ulcerated, so he really didn't see the true identity of this person for a while. But he turned his gaze to the knife, which was connected by an iron ring, and although the handle of one knife was still in the man's hand, the other knife was still hanging down, ready to spew venom at any time.
This knife, Li Luant remembers, seems to be-
Double-knife slaughter door.
Double-knife slaughter door.
"You're a two-knife slaughterer!"
Tu Men laughed, and his hoarse voice broke through the sky, "I was finally recognized by you, Li Luant, when you and this woman were running for your life in front, did you ever think that I would survive the day when I slaughtered the door with two knives?!" β
"How is that possible? Aren't you dead? I've seen you with my own eyesβ" Luan Jingjing shouted in disbelief, looking at the faces of the people who were close at hand, and felt sick in her heart.
Tu Men raised the left half of his face hatefully, and said in a contemptuous and vicious tone, "I almost forgot, except for this kid, there is another person, she doesn't want me to live, it's you, Luan Jingjing, I remember that this kid called you like this, do you think I deserve to die?!" β
Luan Jingjing was difficult, "The situation was critical, if we didn't run for our lives, we would also die, and time has changed, if you were in that situation, you might not have come to help us, after all, wouldn't that mole be abandoned by you?" β
"Haha, what you said, little girl, Lao Tzu is indeed such a person, but the problem is that Lao Tzu survived, but now your life is in Lao Tzu's hands."
