Volume 1 Tanglin Tomb 15 Eight doors and four rooms go back and forth, and the sieve of the nine palaces is troublesome

"As the saying goes, Jimen can't be defeated by Jimen, and the murderer can't afford to be killed. Earthquake, Xun two palaces are wood, now is the sixth month of the lunar calendar, belongs to the four seasons, wooden prisoners, the door of Zhongping is fierce, and the fierce door is prisoner but Zhongping! ”

"What does it mean that June is the four seasons? Isn't there only four seasons this year? Leng Ye asked curiously.

"In the ordinary calendar, there are indeed only four seasons in a year, but in Qimen Dunjiaxue, according to the five elements, the year is divided into five seasons.

The first month, February is spring, and it is woody; April and May are summer and belong to fire; July and August are autumn, which belong to gold; October and November are winter, and they belong to water. The remaining March, June, September, and December are called the four seasons, which belong to the earth! Mu Chen explained briefly, and then arranged, "I'll take the lead with Leng Ye, Miss Qin, Gongzi Qin, you take care of the old man, go to the middle, and the three of you will be responsible for the aftermath." ”

The oldest old man Qin was first burned by the fire, and then he fell again, and he had fallen into a coma, and his employer was not there, so at this moment, Mu Chen gave orders, but no one felt that it was inappropriate.

Mu Chen first asked Qin Gongzi to observe and test it, and after making sure that there was no hidden weapon in the passage, he stepped in. After all, this is an ancient tomb, so it is better to be careful in every move.

I don't know if it's because the craftsman cut corners to save trouble, or if Guo Pu likes the simple style, the two-meter-wide passage is still bare, and there is nothing.

"Gongzi Qin, why is there nothing in this tomb? When I watch a TV show, isn't there usually some mural in this kind of passage? Leng Ye asked.

"Not all tombs have murals, but it doesn't seem to be normal here." Qin Gongzi replied.

"How is it not normal?" Mu Chen asked.

"I can't put it into words, it's just a feeling. I haven't been to the tomb a few times, and I don't know much about the tomb except for the mechanism. If Grandpa was awake, he would have been able to see it. ”

In this tomb, there was a lot of pressure in his heart, and as soon as Qin Gongzi said that something was wrong, everyone suddenly became more vigilant, and the string in his head collapsed tightly, for fear that something would happen.

was cautiously walking forward, and Leng Ye suddenly spoke again, "Alas, how long have you and Yan'er known each other?" ”

Mu Chen frowned, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" ”

"I think she likes you!"

His sudden words made Mu Chenlei's feet weak, and he almost fell on his head. The country behind should be the same, obviously the footsteps are a little chaotic.

Mu Chen gave him a big roll of his eyes, "What the hell are you smoking?" ”

"I didn't have a convulsion, if she didn't like you, why did she just say that she should protect you?"

“······” Mu Chen didn't want to deal with him. Isn't it obvious why protect yourself! Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the people here now, if they talk about the value of force, I'm afraid that even Miss Qin is better than themselves, after all, people don't need to be picked up when they jump from the thief hole.

Also, since Yan'er has been eyeing herself for a long time, she naturally has to make good use of it, this is just the beginning, and of course she can't let herself die easily.

"Well, don't you really think?"

"Shut up!"

"Jiangshan, did you say?"

“······” The eyes of the country look at the mouth, the mouth looks at the heart, and does not answer.

Leng Ye thought he had found a big gossip, but no one paid attention to him, so he was a little depressed, so he simply went to the fence by himself. At the same time, he was secretly worried about Mu Chen, and being favored by this woman was not necessarily a good thing.

As he spoke, the passage came to an end, and in front of it was a horizontal passage, and the ends did not know where it led.

Qin Gongzi checked it first, and there were no mechanisms on either side. In this case, it has nothing to do with strength at all, it can only rely on luck. Mu Chen casually chose a direction and marked it. In this way, if there is any danger ahead, at least you can return to the original position. After walking forward for a while, another fork in the road appeared, Mu Chen ignored this fork in the road and went straight forward. Now that they have been separated from Yan'er, the remaining people must not be separated again.

But I didn't expect that this passage came to an end, and it was actually a dead end. Mu Chen had no choice but to turn back, mark the number 2 at the fork in the road, and then walked in.

When they reached the end again, everyone was shocked, isn't this the tomb that just came out!

How so? One way to go out, and another way back, no one should be bored enough to get this kind of mechanism, right? Mu Chen hurriedly took out the Qimen Dunjia plate and looked at the direction, no, this is not the previous room! If the original burial chamber was divided into four rooms, marked as 1, 2, 3, and 4, then it was in room 4 before, but now it is room 2 in front of it, more precisely, it should be -202!

I went out from the Zhengong Wound Gate in the east, but I came in from the Gengong Shengmen in the northeast, so does it mean that these rooms are actually connected? If that's the case, then if you turn around two more times, won't you be able to enter the -203 where Yan'er and them were before?

However, if this is the case, it also means that these rooms may be in an endless loop! Unless you can find an upward path, go back to -104, and find a way out of the original thief hole, you will most likely be trapped here.

Mu Chen shouted twice, but no one responded, so he told everyone his thoughts and asked everyone to wait here for a while. If it is really a dead loop, then Yan'er and they will soon return to a certain room, and when the time comes, they will shout a few words and let one side wait, so that the two teams of people will not be able to see anyone here.

But I didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement in the other rooms. Could it be that this is not an endless loop? Or is something wrong with them?

Mu Chen couldn't wait any longer, and was ready to go to them. The other door of this room is the Kangong Xiumen in the north, the Kangong belongs to the water, the water is dead in the four seasons, and the Xiumen is one of the Sanjimen, this passage must be very dangerous.

Fortunately, Qin Gongzi was proficient in all kinds of mechanisms, and with his help, he quickly broke the mechanisms. At the end, it was indeed a horizontal passage again, Mu Chen deliberately walked in both directions this time, both of them were dead ends, only the fork in the middle led to -201.

If nothing else, if you go out of the Shock Gate this time, you should be able to enter -203 through the Death Gate.

The passage in the direction of due north was still a dead end, and in line with the principle of prudence, Mu Chen still went to check the other end. Unexpectedly, there is an open stone door at this end!

Sure enough, there is a way out! No wonder I haven't seen Yan'er and them all the time, it turns out that when these people were going around in circles, they had already gone out.

Afraid that there would be an organ, Mu Chen didn't dare to rush in, and hurriedly called everyone over. The stone door was only pushed open one person wide, and Jiang Shan and Tang Hong pushed it again, opening it completely.

Behind, there is still a two-meter-wide tomb passage, but it is divided into two halves, half of which is a canal, and there is some turbid liquid in it.

The other half of the road is paved with three rows of stone bricks. There are many gaps in the top of this stone brick, which is divided into many small pieces, and if you think with your toes, you can know that there must be a mechanism underneath.

"Nine Palace Sieve Bricks!" Seeing this brick, Qin Gongzi's face changed greatly. He has been carrying Old Man Qin on his back, but now he speaks without breathing, and it seems that he is also a master.

"Nine Palace Sieve Bricks? Why is this name so strange? Leng Ye asked.

"This brick is built according to the principle of nine squares, and every three rows of nine squares is one nine-square. Among them, fill in the numbers, the upper nine, the next, the left three, the right seven, four, two for the shoulder, eight, six for the foot, and the middle for five. Each of the three nine palaces is a group, the single group is the positive nine palaces, and the even group is the inverted nine palaces. When walking, it is necessary to strictly follow the principle of one, three, two, six, seven, nine, eight, five, and four, and the odd numbers go along and the even numbers move in reverse. With just one wrong step, countless steel nails will shoot out from below, shooting the person into a sieve. That's why it's called that. ”

"Damn, don't you want to be so ruthless!" The cold night suddenly felt the chrysanthemum tight, uncle, shooting up from below, it was really shameless. This means that there is no dead end for this kind of mechanism, and once triggered, there is no way to escape.

Mu Chen fell into deep thought, although this way of walking sounds very simple, but when you actually walk, three or five nine-square grids are fine, once the distance becomes longer, just counting nine-square grids can be counted wrong, not to mention that each step is different. The point is that once you get to the middle of the count, you don't even have a chance to go back and count again.

"Qin Gongzi, what is the purpose of the canal next to this?" Mu Chen asked.

"I don't know, about the Jiugong sieve bricks, there are only records in ancient books, and no one has seen them in the tomb."

"Since this Nine Palace Sieve Brick is so troublesome, why don't we go into the water?" Cold Night suggested. He is the kind of person who doesn't want to use his brain more if he can put in more effort, so he naturally doesn't bother to concentrate on counting all the time.

"Although this brick is complicated, since you know and understand the Fa, nothing will happen if you are serious. The canal is different, the unknown liquid in it is not known what effect it will have on people. Mu Chen refused. In this way, I'll go to the front, mark each nine-square grid, and you can just follow along! ”

"Hehe, you still know me!" The cold night was immediately happy.

Old man Qin brought glutinous rice flour in a few of their bags, Mu Chen took it out, and began to mark the number of each nine-square grid, he only marked the bricks that needed to go, and made a mark for every three lines, and drew a positive and negative for the nine lines, so as to remind himself. This way, even if you are distracted and look around, you won't know where to go next.

This is indeed the safest way, walking for a long time, there is no mistake, the only problem is that the walk is very slow, and the spirit has been tight, it is easy to get tired. Especially Mu Chen, now his mind is full of those numbers, and they are almost stirred into a paste. At first, you can see which number each grid is, but then you need to confirm it several times before you dare to mark it.

He was crouching to mark the numbers, when someone suddenly shouted, "What's that in front of you?" ”
