Chapter 85: The Strange Slope of King Wei's Valley
"your stinking!" Niu Gang generally can't say that other people, so he can only take Han Debang's goods to open the knife: "There is a fucking line, when we fought just now, his second uncle had already broken it, pull it down!" ”
"Strange ball! There is no line and no other pins, what is the situation? Could it be that I saw a ghost in broad daylight? Old Ghost Su also scratched his head.
"Otherwise, I'll wait and see." Cao Longxuan stared at the round shells of the three "electric wolf turtles", and saw that they rolled up for a while, and after they reached the array on the slope, they slowly stopped and did not move.
"No, we have to wait, it's not too late for us to study and then go up, go up rashly, some problems are not straightened out, and then encounter mechanisms, traps or other monster attacks, it is difficult to get out." Bai Yunfei denied Cao Longxuan's idea.
When Cao Longxuan heard him say this, he actually nodded, naturally he thought that what Bai Yunfei said made sense.
Bai Yunfei asked everyone to rest at this position on the edge of the cliff first, and he walked back and forth in the open space between the cliff edge and the Bagua Diagram Array, sometimes standing and observing, sometimes squatting down to aim, sometimes lying on the ground to watch, and sometimes superimposing the ten fingers of his hands together, making a small pane in front of his eyes, raising his arms flat and measuring.
From time to time he walked up to the ramp, patting the masonry roads, knocking on the carved railings on both sides, and sometimes sticking his head out to look out.
Sometimes I simply walk into the trees and grass on both sides of the ramp and grope for observations.
In short, without entering the area of the trap that he thought might be dangerous, he basically studied the ramp and then walked back to the edge of the cliff to watch from a distance.
"Yunfei, how is the research?" Cao Longxuan, who was sitting on the ground resting, was a little impatient and began to ask.
Bai Yunfei didn't answer his question, still staring at the ramp in front of him and the edge of the Bagua Array composed of dense trees on both sides of the ramp, pondering, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes nodding.
Other people are not very interested in this kind of thing, but Lu Wuyang is different, he sat in the crowd, watching Bai Yunfei before and after, tossing inside and out, he was already itching and eager to try, and now seeing Bai Yunfei coming back, he still couldn't solve the mystery with a contemplative expression, so he greeted him, wanting to follow the study.
"Brother Bai, what kind of fame have you studied?" Lu Wuyang asked.
"I think it's weird." Bai Yunfei's expression was focused, and he had no distractions.
"What's weird?" Lu Wuyang didn't know where his doubts were.
"You come with me." Bai Yunfei asked Lu Wuyang to follow him, and then walked towards the ramp leading to the Bagua Array.
Bai Yunfei walked up the ramp, and from time to time he stomped on the road with his foot, and the masonry was hard and solid, without any hollow feeling below.
The two of them cautiously and gradually approached the place where the shells of the three "electric wolf turtles" were resting, and gradually struck with iron drills, without triggering any mechanism, and then stabbed the shell of the "electric wolf turtles".
The heavy shell of the "electric wolf tortoise" dangled and rolled back and forth like a pendulum, white clouds
Fei and Lu Wuyang knocked on the ground masonry around these turtle shells, and did not see anything abnormal, so they had the courage to move these turtle shells left and right.
"Brother Bai, what do you want to do?" Lu Wuyang never understood what Bai Yunfei was going to do, so he asked directly.
"Although this monster is dead, it looks like it is very heavy, but in fact it is like a tire, it can be easily pushed, let's push one by one, push it down the slope to see what happens?" Bai Yunfei explained.
Lu Wuyang cooperated with Bai Yunfei to push a turtle shell and pushed it down the slope.
The other people who were sitting in the distance resting also got up at this time and walked up the ramp to see what Bai Yunfei was going to do.
On the bricks and stones of the map array on the ramp, it was originally very easy to push the turtle shell, but at this time, it was obviously difficult to push it down, so that Bai Yunfei and Lu Wuyang, who were pushing the turtle shell, had to exert more strength to push the two turtle shells down the slope.
Seeing two people pushing down is more laborious than pushing flat on the ground, which not only surprised everyone, but also made it difficult to figure out what mysterious reason caused this situation.
"Is it really the anti-gravity phenomenon caused by an alien meteorite like in the movie?" Li Yulan was the first to raise questions.
"Maybe it is." Wang Ziming guessed.
"No, it won't." Bai Yunfei pushed hard while refuting the conjecture of the two of them.
"Here, help us push these two turtle shells down the slope." Bai Yunfei greeted everyone.
Everyone didn't ask why, because everyone believed that since Bai Yunfei did this, he must have his thoughts, and instead of watching the excitement here, it would be better to make a contribution, maybe the truth could be revealed sooner.
Wait until everyone pushes the two turtle shells down the slope, and then Bai Yunfei asks everyone to hold the two turtle shells still, and everyone goes around behind the turtle shells, that is, away from the direction of the Bagua Array.
"Let go of one first, and don't let go of the other yet." Bai Yunfei admonished.
So Niu Gang and the turtle shell pushed by the others let go of their hands first, and Bai Yunfei took the opportunity to lie on the ground, his eyes looked at the ground in contact with the turtle shell, staring closely and not relaxing.
Everyone didn't know what Bai Yunfei was going to see, but they found that the turtle shell that had just let go of his hand that had been pushed to the bottom of the slope moved silently!
After rolling slowly, this turtle shell actually got faster and faster, and continued to accelerate, rolling directly to the bricks and stones of the map array on the ramp, until it rolled to the surface of the masonry map, it slowly stopped rolling, and finally stopped, stopping on the ground full of weeds in the cracks of the masonry, shining with the light of the brown and yellow turtle shells, which made people look unbelievable and did not understand the point.
Just when everyone was puzzled and full of question marks in their heads, they heard Bai Yunshu shout: "Release!" ”
Everyone understood that he wanted everyone to let go of the second turtle shell and observe the movement of the second turtle shell, so everyone let go of the hand holding the turtle shell.
I saw that just like the first turtle shell, the second turtle shell slowly began to shake after everyone let go of their hands, and finally turned into a roll, and gradually accelerated, and finally rolled onto the bricks and stones of the array above the ramp, and rolled again
After a certain distance, he crashed into the trunk of a dense forest tree next to the masonry road in the Bagua Diagram and stopped.
"Yunfei, have you found any clues?" Cao Longxuan saw that he had been tossing and turning for a long time, and he didn't know if he had found some answers, so he asked Bai Yunfei.
"Well, as far as I can guess, there is a clear optical illusion here, and through some artificial construction, combined with the surrounding trees, the land, the masonry pavement, and the carved railings on the slopes and on both sides of the ramp, it gives the illusion that it is an uphill slope, but it is actually a downhill slope. Of course, this is just my guess, and it is possible that my guess is wrong. Bai Yunfei explained.
"Downhill?"
"What?"
"You're not confused, are you?"
......
Everyone was surprised to have different opinions, all of them doubting Bai Yunfei's judgment.
Bai Yunfei smiled helplessly, summoned everyone to squat down, and looked at the array on the ramp.
"Look, if we lie on the ground and try to keep our eyes on the ground to look at the Bagua Array in the distance, we will have a feeling that the ground of the Bagua Array is about the same height as where we are. Of course, this may also be a delusion, because after all, we don't have advanced instruments to measure altitude in our hands, and we can only estimate it with the naked eye, so all the phenomena we see may not be accurate. ”
Then he pointed to the ramp and the carved railings on both sides of the ramp and said:
"When people do all the positioning and orientation activities, they always have to look for some reference. And this section of the ramp leading to the Bagua Diagram Array is between two gentle slopes. Looking forward from the direction of the clearing in front of the cliff, you are faced with the ramp and the Bagua array above. And from the side of the Bagua Diagram Array yearning for our current direction, it is the intersection of the road in front of us and the open flat land. In addition, the surrounding slopes are full of sloping soil slopes and vegetation, and there is not a single horizontal plane that can be used as a baseline. This kind of topography and landform is easy to cause visual errors. ”
Then he pointed to the carved railings on both sides of the ramp and said, "If we, or other people who have broken into this Wei Wang Valley, are unconsciously looking for a reference, for the ramp, the only thing that can be used as an equidistant scale here is basically these carved stone railings. ”
Bai Yunfei continued: "Why do these carved railings that have no practical meaning for the ramp be erected here? It feels like those handrails that people use to go up the stairs when they go upstairs, but here you can see that they are carved stone pillars at equal distances, and there is no coherence between them, so there is not much point in being used as handrails. ”
Bai Yunfei took a few steps forward, led everyone to the carved railings of these ramps, pointed to the carved railings and said:
"I just made a vertical line out of thin grass hanging from small stones, and after careful observation, I finally found that each carved fence was not perpendicular to the horizontal plane, but was inclined about 5 degrees in parallel. The illusion was thus strengthened. In life habits, people always regard the columns of the railing as vertical. A horizontal pavement, if the pillars are all inclined to the left, people will feel that it is one
a downhill road with high left and low right; On the contrary, if the pillar is tilted to the right, people will feel that it is an uphill road with high right and low left. Now, when the slope is not large, no one thinks to suspect that the carved fence is crooked, and naturally thinks that it is the road that is slanted. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Yunfei squatted down again, and everyone squatted down with him. He pointed to one of the carved railings and said:
"In addition to the angle of the carved railing, what can lead people to go astray is the method of setting up the carved railing. You see, there is a short uphill slope at the beginning of this ramp, and then it slowly turns downhill. Everyone thought that if the carved railings were all at the same height, the lines at the top of each carved railing would naturally be able to accurately depict the undulating condition of the road. The mystery of this weird ramp will also be seen through at a glance. ”
As he spoke, Bai Yunfei pointed to several carved railings and said:
"Here, however, the height of the carved railings varied, and the only criterion by which the ancient designers determined the length of each carved railing was that their respective sisters had to be in a straight line. In this way, the truth that the ramp goes downhill first and then uphill is blinded by the pillar sister who brushes the brush. People will subconsciously mistakenly think that the movement of Sister Pillar is the trend of the road. As a result, a large subsequent downhill would be mistaken for a continuation of the first short uphill section. ”
"In other words," Bai Yunfei concluded, "what we see is an illusion, it looks like it is uphill, but it is actually downhill, so there is the illusion that the turtle shell automatically rolls up!" ”
"Oh my God!"
"How so?"
"Is this true?"
......
Everyone began to talk in amazement.
Han Debang began his self-inflicted cleverness again: "Not to mention, when I was in China before, I had heard of the 'Shenyang Strange Slope', which was also very mysterious, so now, these strange and mysterious slopes should be called 'Burmese Strange Slope' or 'Weiwanggu Strange Slope'." ”
"But what's the use of the ancients designing such a strange slope in this place?" Li Yulan raised her question.
The crowd was equally puzzled.
Bai Yunfei looked at the huge gossip array on the ramp that almost covered the entire valley floor with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "This should be an ecstasy before entering the formation. ”
"Ecstasy?"
The crowd still didn't understand.
"After falling for the Ecstasy, all conventional judgments will be self-negated, just as the normal law of gravity in nature, which is supposed to be 'water flowing downward', is denied by the illusion of thinking, and no longer believes in any of its conventional judgments. and then enter the complicated and weird gossip array, and it is estimated that it is unlikely that he will come out alive. Although Bai Yunfei's tone was flat, everyone heard the grim meaning from his words.
"his grandma, this is too lacking in morality!" Niu Gang understood the general meaning and immediately scolded.
"Vicious indeed!" Wang Ziming said.
"Insidious!" Lu Wuyang commented.
"When a person encounters a problem, especially at a critical juncture of life and death, if he even denies his own judgment, he will not be able to find a solution at all, and there is no way out, which is really a terrible thing." Han Debang couldn't help but shudder.
