Chapter Thirty-Six: Pawn Fighting
Huzi and I walked back the way we came, and he trotted and crossed the ground with a Luban ruler, looking quite funny, like a lame wild dog. I urged while running ahead, but Huzi didn't dare to refute it knowing that he was wrong. In the blink of an eye, he returned to the intersection just now, and Huzi picked up his backpack and checked it nervously for a long time, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Picking up the backpack, the two of us ran back along the line on the ground, for fear of losing Zhang Ye, we almost used the speed of sprinting with a strong flashlight, and returned to the bottom of the wall just now in less than two minutes. I took a flashlight to the roof of the shed, I don't know if I remembered it by mistake or something, it was obviously a cross wall, but now it became a straight road.
"Huzi, are you sure the line is not wrong? The road up there doesn't seem to be the same as it was before. I flipped out the map of the ancient tomb in the album and compared it, and asked the sweaty tiger on the side in puzzlement.
"Impossible, I'm running and risking my waist, just such a line along the way, how can I be wrong." Huzi hurriedly shook his head and promised me, and at the same time turned on the flashlight and shone it up. It doesn't matter if it's such a photo, he was also stunned, because the road above is indeed different. The wall of the machine that Chang Qingzi, Zhang Ye and Qin Wuye passed through just now disappeared at this time, and turned into a straight road.
According to the comparison of the map, the secret passage below is exactly the same as the tomb passage above, that is, what route is above, and what route is below. But at this time, there is a clear difference between the top and bottom, we are at the crossroads, and the top has become a straight road.
"What's going on?" Huzi asked me with a blank face, where do I know where to go? The two of us pondered for a long time but didn't come up with a reason, and finally I simply told Huzi to go directly in the direction of the main burial chamber. Zhang Ye and they must also be running in that direction, as long as they find the main tomb, they don't have to worry about not seeing him.
Huzi is like a person who is too lazy to use his brain, and he can't wait for others to make all the decisions for him. When I said this, he immediately nodded, and said to me thoughtfully: "Brother, you are right, listen to you." I didn't bother to pay attention to him, compared the map of the tomb the whole time, and walked around to the center.
The tomb road above my head now I can't tell the direction, but fortunately, I can still grasp the jade secret passage where Huzi and I are, but I don't know where the corresponding position above is after walking to the center below. As I walked, I observed the direction of the tomb above, and Huzi suddenly pulled me and whispered, "Brother, slow down, there seems to be light ahead." ”
As soon as he reminded him, I immediately asked him to turn off the flashlight, and my own flashlight was wrapped in a shirt, leaving a faint light. After about four or five seconds, my eyes finally adjusted to the change in luminosity, and I noticed that there was indeed a bright light above my head more than ten meters ahead. I was suddenly happy in my heart, there is light and there are people, it seems that the surname Zhang still hasn't gone far. I made a silent gesture, and then tiptoed forward with the tigers.
The closer I got there, the more I felt that something was wrong, because the light above my head was too dim, and there was only a single beam, which was supposed to be a person. Could it be an evergreen child? I was thinking that I had come to the foot of the light, and I was about to see who this person was, when suddenly another drop of blood fell on the jade plate of the ceiling above, and then ticked like a leaking faucet, and the bright red blood was refracted through a strange light.
The barrier of blood made it impossible for me to see the face of this person, but I could be sure that it was definitely not Changqingzi, because the body type did not match, and this person was a circle wider than Changqingzi. The man didn't know why he was so badly injured, and he stood in front of a wall, staggering and groping around the wall. I quietly changed my angle to see his face clearly, and at that moment, a strange scene appeared.
I noticed that the pattern of the tomb above my head was quietly changing, and there was only one wall in front of this person, but in silence, three stone walls slowly moved over and formed a cross. The stone wall moved as if it were on smooth water, there was no sound of the mechanism, and the person above didn't notice it through the wall, and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it, this scene was really weird.
Huzi suddenly slapped me on the shoulder, and I almost screamed in fright. I frowned and turned to look at him, meaning to ask him what he was doing, startling me. The expression on this tiger face was very ghostly, and he pointed to the mobile phone in my hand with some confusion and surprise. I looked down at my phone and didn't understand what he meant, and he anxiously clicked on one of the tomb maps on the phone screen.
The location he pointed to was a cross wall, and the location was the place where the three groups of people met across the wall just now, and Huzi was afraid that I didn't understand, so he pointed to the top of his head with a look of fear. I probably understood what Huzi meant, I compared it back and forth for a long time, I couldn't control the shock in my heart, and asked Huzi with my mouth, "No, right?" Huzi first subconsciously shook his head, and then nodded firmly.
When the two of us were raising eyebrows, the figure above finally touched the mechanism, and he pressed it against the wall, and then the stone wall began to make a mechanical sound, and slowly began to move. The figure walked past the stone wall and looked left and right, then moved to the left and saw a turn into another corridor. How similar this scene is, if the Yongdao after moving above is really Zhang Ye's previous position, then this figure actually chose the same route as Zhang Ye.
I didn't see his appearance clearly when he disappeared around the corner, blood was sprinkled with every step he took, even with his physique, it was estimated that it wouldn't last long, every second was comparable to the amount of blood of the eldest aunt, this is the rhythm of turning into a dry corpse.
Instead of following the figure above, I continued to go deeper in the direction of the tomb map, because I had something to verify. As Huzi and I walked forward, we used our flashlights to shine a flashlight on the tomb above, and the tomb wall above, which was supposed to be connected to the mountain, moved every five minutes, seemingly chaotic, but as if there was some kind of order.
Huzi began to pinch all the way from just now, rubbing his right hand around while observing the top, I laughed and asked him if he would also tell the hexagram, why didn't I see it, Huzi ignored me, with a serious face. He rarely got serious, and I didn't bother him. At this time, Huzi suddenly asked me, "Brother, have you heard of the Eight Array Diagram?" ”
"Why haven't you heard of it, isn't Zhuge Liang's formation in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" I replied without thinking. According to the record of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang created a formation. Legend has it that when Zhuge Kongming resisted the enemy, he piled up stones into a stone formation, and was divided into life, wounded, rest, Du, Jing, death, shock, and open eight doors according to Dunjia, which changed all over the world, and could block 100,000 elite soldiers.
I have always listened to this kind of thing as a mythical story, and there are five gods in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, Guan Lu, Zuo Ci and Nanhua Lao Xian. If it weren't for the appearance of these people, it is estimated that many people would regard the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a history textbook. But among the characters like Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, many of their things are also myths. For example, Zhuge borrowed the east wind, the seven-star lantern to continue his life, and the eight array diagrams. Especially the Eight Array Diagram, there are no mechanisms and no gears, just a few broken stones can make people dizzy, and they can change their orientation at all times, why don't I believe it?
Huzi looked at me with a non-mocking expression and smiled slightly, and said to me: "I know you don't believe it, but there is really such a formation in the world. Not to mention anything else, there is a formation in Luban's book called "Luban Lock Array", which describes the effect of the eight formations similarly, which can rely on the direction, magnetic field, yin and yang direction and the heavenly and terrestrial branches to achieve a living formation, and no need for any organ components to make the formation run. It's just that I'm shallow, and I haven't learned the formation and that kind of magic yet. ”
Although what Huzi told me was serious, I still retorted with some disbelief: "It doesn't matter if you haven't learned, have you ever seen someone else use it?" In other words, even if what is recorded in Lu Ban's book is true, Lu Ban was not born during the Shang Dynasty. Huzi's mouth itself is not very neat, and he wants to defend two sentences but can't say it. However, although I said this, I really believed it in my heart.
Because the two of us met several waves of people along the way, including Zhang Ye's subordinates, security teams, and even Sun Zilin who was alone. Without exception, they were all blocked by a wall, and then when they were groping for the mechanism, the pattern of the tomb above quietly changed, and in the end, the direction in which they disappeared was the same as the route taken by Zhang Ye. I started to feel a little creepy, because it was all like someone was deliberately controlled, and no matter how I went, it was the same path in the end.
The whole ancient tomb is like a circular labyrinth of circles, and Huzi and I have unconsciously turned inward three times, and we are still two twists and turns from the main tomb. At this moment, there were suddenly waves of vibrations from the jade slab overhead, and the further we walked, the more we shook, and we even faintly saw the light flickering from the roof of the shed in front of us, like a laser ball from the disco in the eighties.
It seemed that the top should have been moved, and there was a fierce fight cover, so Huzi and I scaled up our steps and ran over, coming to the bottom of the fight. There are two figures on it who are fighting desperately, and the body of one of them is as if it has a tonic disease, and its arms and legs don't seem to bend back, but their movements are extremely fast. The other stumbled a little, the bright flashlight pinned to his waist, and the flashlight swayed with the movement, occasionally spilling blood on the ceiling.
This figure is very familiar to me, it is the person who didn't see his face clearly before, this person was forced to retreat again and again by the stiff figure, left and right clumsy and took a moment at every turn, and I couldn't hold on when I saw it. At this moment, the man seemed to be out of the way, and he couldn't hide in the face of the stiff figure that was attacking, and he stomped on his horse and squatted and squatted and took a horse step. The stiff figure punched the door, but it seemed to hit the invisible wall of air. At the same time, the injured person was covered with two layers of light, one pale gold inside and one pink outside.
With these two layers of light, I finally saw these two figures clearly. It turned out to be a priest and a bronze armored corpse, and the direction in which the throne had just disappeared was obviously on my left, but now it appeared in front of me, and the tomb above actually brought people to the main tomb. What shocked me the most was that the bronze armored corpse was not far from the entrance of the robbery cave, this thing had no IQ at all, and it was impossible to turn on the mechanism, how did it appear here?
