We don't know why this happened, but we did speed up a lot, and we reached the top of the cave in no time.

After coming out of the cave, the sky was completely dark, the moon above was covered by thick clouds, the light was very dim, the seventh master wanted to raise a bonfire, but was stopped by Liu Yuan, he told us that once we lit the bonfire, the people in the ancient city would find us, and it would be even more difficult to get there.

Just like that, we spent the night in a pitch black environment, fortunately the terrain here is very high, except for a few birds flying over, there is nothing else, as soon as the day dawns, Liu Yuan returned along the same way, our group stayed on the top of this ghost cave, holding a telescope to look around, about three or four disappeared, Wang Chuyi suddenly shouted, "I'm here!" Look, it's not far from there! ”

Wang Chuyi stretched out his finger and pointed, a few of us hurriedly ran over, picked up the telescope and observed, sure enough, we found a small scale of ancient city, the houses in the ancient city are all old buildings with blue bricks and green tiles, because we are now in a position that is much higher than the ancient city, so the whole picture of the ancient city can almost be seen roughly, only to see that there are many lanes in this ancient city, it is very complicated, all the buildings are almost identical, there is no obvious difference, see this, I already have the answer in my heart, This ancient city seems to be built in the style of a labyrinth, relying on visual deviation and direction deception, no wonder Liu Yuan said that ordinary people can get in and can't get out.

After looking at it for a long time, the seventh master looked gloomy, sat down on the ground slowly, put the telescope aside, and said, "No, I always feel that something is wrong." ”

Wang Chuyi and I opened their mouths almost at the same time and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The seventh master thought for a while, and said, "Our goal is the ancient tomb, not this ancient city, I originally thought that the people living in the ancient city should be the descendants of the tomb supervisors of the Qing Dynasty, and I wanted to judge the location of the ancient tomb, but this ancient city is too big, and the specific location of the ancient tomb cannot be determined at all." ”

As soon as the seventh master's words fell, Huzi, who was observing with a telescope on the side, also walked over slowly, and said, "In my opinion, this ancient city is not simple, not only is it very strange to build, but this ancient city is also full of organs. ”

As soon as Huzi said this, the seventh master immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly asked Huzi where the organ was.

Huzi opened his mouth and said, "The buildings of these ancient cities, the cornices and corners, are symmetrical to each other at every corner, every six buildings, the corners will be connected into a Z-shaped line, plus the windows on the second floor of the building, although the shape is different, but the overall structure is almost the same, absolutely implying the mechanism, if I guess right, this ancient tomb should be under this ancient city!" ”

Huzi this is a word to wake up the dreamer, the ancient tomb is under the ancient city, this sentence can be described as a shock, we were silent for a while, each was thinking about what Huzi said, according to his train of thought to speculate, during the Qing Dynasty, those tomb supervisors have been staying here in order to wait for orders, in order to prevent forgetting the specific location of the ancient tomb, simply build a village on this ancient tomb, it is not impossible.

This ancient city was built so mysteriously, it can be seen that the original builder was a master who knew a lot about feng shui and mechanism mathematics, and it was very likely that he was the head of those tomb supervisors back then, in order to avoid the news of the ancient tomb leaking out, the ancient city was deliberately built in accordance with the way of the nine palace gossip, so that people can enter and exit, forming a natural labyrinth, and the trespassers will be completely trapped in the ancient city.

After this inference, the Seventh Master and Wang Chuyi also agreed with Huzi's statement, we agreed that this ancient tomb is just below the ancient city, no wonder when we first arrived in Liu Yuan's village, the people there were unwilling to take us to the ancient city, it seems that the problem is here!

Thinking of this, the Seventh Master immediately put down the sitting mark of the ancient city and prepared to set off directly to the ancient city to check.

Originally, we were going to go back the same way, but looking at the deep entrance of the ghost cave, none of us wanted to turn back and walk aside, so we simply followed the slope on the west side of the ghost cave, using our existing equipment, plus the climbing rope as an aid, and slowly descended, the location of this ancient city is on the northwest side of this ghost cave, as long as we can go down from the slope on the west side, we will soon be able to reach the ancient city.

Before we acted, Wang Chuyi also deliberately drew the whole picture of the ancient city with simple lines, so that when we walked into the ancient city, we would not get lost.

I think for Liu Yuan, who has no equipment and only relies on two hands to climb, our equipment can be said to be luxurious, and soon went down to the foot of the mountain along the west side of the ghost cave, and as soon as his feet touched the ground, he found a very secret path, this road is very narrow, only about twenty centimeters, but depending on the degree of tamping of the soil, I am afraid that someone has passed on this road all year round, otherwise it will not be so obvious.

At this moment, we suddenly heard a high-pitched mountain song, someone must be approaching!

"Hide!" The Seventh Master waved his hand and motioned for us to separate the two sides and hide in the woods.

After waiting for about 20 minutes, I saw a middle-aged man, carrying a flat burden, walking on this path, the middle-aged man was still singing mountain songs while walking, and most of the daily necessities were placed in the flat burden.

Seeing this, we all understand in our hearts, this person should be the person in charge of purchasing from the outside world in the ancient city, seeing him also passing by this path, I am inexplicably happy, it seems that we have come to the right place, this path is the only way to enter the ancient city!

We lurked quietly, and after the middle-aged man walked away, we came out of the woods again, and the seventh master waved his hand and whispered, "Follow quietly!" ”

In fact, it can't be regarded as tracking, because in this dense jungle, there is only this deep path, at the beginning of the period, I thought that as long as I followed this deep path, I would definitely not be wrong, but this idea was quickly rejected by the Seventh Master.

The seventh master told me to keep an eye on the middle-aged man in front of me, and I couldn't relax at all, this path is so obvious, if we can really reach the ancient city by walking all the way, then why did Liu Yuan take us to walk so far through mountains and rivers, crossing the river and climbing the cave.

After the seventh master's dial, I realized that this road is not simple! It is likely that just like the ecstasy road we encounter in the ancient tomb, if we don't pay attention to it, it is easy to go to a fork in the road, and thus enter a dead circle, and never find the ancient city!

Sure enough, just after we followed the middle-aged man for a distance, he suddenly turned his head and glanced back, he turned around in advance without warning, very suddenly, if it weren't for the fact that we were all wearing camouflage clothes all the way, and the distance that followed him was also well controlled, otherwise he would have found out, it seems that this middle-aged man is on guard, he should have been followed before.

Just when I was wondering, suddenly the man squatted down suddenly, and his whole body almost seemed to be about to kneel on the ground, but before his knees touched the ground, he stood up again, let him take a step forward, and I could never see him again!

The middle-aged man suddenly disappeared from our sight, which surprised me very much, and I hurriedly rushed out of the woods, ran to the place where the middle-aged man disappeared, and observed it carefully, and did not find anything suspicious, the path still stretched forward, but the middle-aged man could no longer be seen on the road ahead.

So I learned from the man's actions before he disappeared, and I did it again, I thought I was quite good at imitating, but when I finished all the man's movements, there was still no change in the road in front of me, and I couldn't see anything strange.

"Huzi, let's see, what's going on!" I tried several times, but there was no result, and I remembered that Huzi was now very knowledgeable about the mechanism of Qimen Shushu, so I called him over.

After Huzi walked up to me, he circled around me and said, "That's where he disappeared?" ”

I nodded again and again, and then showed Huzi the man's actions before he disappeared, and after Huzi finished reading, he smiled slightly and said, "Pediatrics, wait, I will be able to break this mechanism immediately!" As he spoke, Huzi took a step back, and was about to try to break the mechanism, but was pulled by the Seventh Master.

"How sure are you that you can break this obscuring mechanism?" The expression on the seventh master's face was very serious.

Huzi thought for a while, and said to the Seventh Master, "This kind of small mechanism is not difficult, I am 100% sure that I can break the mechanism and enter the ancient city!" ”

The seventh master nodded, and then waved his hand at a few of us, signaling us to follow him into the dense forest, after walking for dozens of meters, the seventh master said, "I just read the sketch of the ancient city drawn by Wang Chuyi, I probably know where the entrance to this ancient tomb is, we can't go in now, if we go in now, we will definitely be discovered, wait for dark, it's easy to do!" ”

As soon as the seventh master said this, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, so I hurriedly asked, "Seventh master, where is the entrance to the ancient tomb?" Why didn't I see it? ”

The seventh master smiled slightly, opened the sketch of the ancient city drawn by Wang Chuyi, pointed to the southeast position on the sketch, and said, "What are the seven circles here?" ”

I recalled it carefully, and said, "It's a well, I remember when I looked at it with a telescope before, there were many people around this well, and it seemed that they were all queuing up to fetch water, and seeing the orderly manner of these villagers fetching water, I am afraid that this ancient city has its own set of systems." ”

The Seventh Master nodded, and said, "Like this kind of ancient city, since it is built in the deep mountains and old forests, it is necessary to solve the problem of eating and drinking first, and the water source is naturally the top priority, when we used a telescope to observe on the ghost cave, I found that they began to come out one after another to draw water, seven wells, six are full of people, only one well, almost no one approaches, and according to my Bagua Ancient Compass calculation, the dry well that no one approaches, the yin is very heavy!" ”
