Chapter 509: The Corridor of Illusions
Whether it is to hell or to heaven, as long as there is a way, we have to go.
Liu Xuyang and Xia Mengyao walked in front, Zhang Yunhao and I walked behind, and a group of seven people slowly walked towards the entrance. The passage is dark and deep, and there is a yin wind around him from time to time, as if there is nothing, like a ghost floating here, extremely gloomy. Here, people can't help but feel that this is indeed a road to hell, and we are the ghosts that lead to the soul of the earth.
The passage is stoned on all sides, flat and smooth, and relatively dry. There should be a lot of water vapor in a place like this that is closer to the water, but it is not visible here at all, which shows that the person who built this mausoleum has a very high level of knowledge in geology and architecture. And the stone walls on all sides seem to be pasted with porcelain plates, almost all of them are the same, walked for about ten minutes, Liu Xuyang in front stopped, I walked up and asked him what was wrong, he took a flashlight forward, frowned and said: "I haven't come to the end after walking for so long, have we encountered a ghost hitting the wall?" ”
"Probably not, right?" Zhang Yunhao preemptively said: "I didn't smell the ghost. ”
"It's not a ghost hitting the wall, it's a kind of ecstasy, it's a kind of ancient science, just like modern science." The reason why I am so sure is because back then, in my previous life, when I was not a general, I was just a ranger, and I encountered this situation during an expedition, and it took a lot of effort to get out of that maze.
"Ecstasy? Ancient science? Zheng Weiqi asked in surprise: "Was there science in ancient times?" ”
"In ancient times, there was not only science, but also very developed, and many inventions and mysteries cannot be understood by our current people." I glanced at everyone and said, "Don't move here, Brother Hao, you come with me." After I finished speaking, I walked back, and Zhang Yunhao immediately followed.
Zhang Yunhao asked as he walked: "Brother Dao, why are we going back?" ”
"You'll find out later." Actually, I wanted to see if this was the kind of formation I encountered back then.
After walking for about five or six minutes, a light suddenly appeared in front of him, and Zhang Yunhao exclaimed: "Brother Dao, there is someone in front!" I smiled faintly and didn't say anything. When he got closer, Zhang Yunhao shouted again: "Why are they Lele and the goddess?" ”
Yes, what we saw was Wu Lele and Zhong Ling'er and Liu Xuyang, and Zhang Yunhao and I were going back at first, it stands to reason that we are getting farther and farther away from them, but now, we are in front of them!
"How so?" Zhang Yunhao asked in surprise.
"I see!" Wu Lele preemptively said: "This passage is a circle, and we have been spinning outside this circle. ”
Xia Mengyao said: "If this is the case, then we are afraid that we will not be able to get out of this circle." ”
Zheng Weiqi immediately shouted: "Then what should I do? If that's the case, we'll die of boredom here, if not starving! ”
Xia Mengyao said: "Since this array is man-made, people can also crack it. ”
She is right, there must be a way to crack what is man-made, Xia Mengyao is the goddess of wisdom, and she will not panic or lose her discouragement at the moment of difficulty and crisis. It's about finding a way to fix it.
I took out a pen from my backpack and asked Zhang Yunhao if he had a pen, Zhang Yunhao rummaged through the backpack and took out a pen to say yes, I said, "Let's try again." ”
So, this time we walked forward, making a mark on the wall every distance we walked. As a result, unsurprisingly, we came back from the back of the group.
Zhang Yunhao hung his head and said, "It seems that it won't work, we can't get out of this formation." He glanced at us and said, "At present, we are four men and three women, there are more men and fewer women, even if one man is matched with one woman, one of them must be single......"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Lele kicked Zhang Yunhao and scolded: "Don't say frustrating words, believe in the knife, we will definitely be able to break this formation!" Zhang Yunhao looked at me and asked, "Brother Dao, do you have anything else to do?" I thought about it, looked back and said, "Let's go back this time." ”
So, Zhang Yunhao and I retreated, and as a result, we found a mystery at the junction of the marks we made. In fact, the marks we made were a bit special, not a line or a point, but a polygonal pattern. For example, I draw a triangle first, walk 10 meters to draw a quadrilateral, then walk 10 meters to draw a pentagon, and so on, when we draw about 20 sides, we go forward and find a triangle. This is the junction.
So, since there is a mark every ten meters, a total of twenty sides are drawn, and it is repeated every ten meters, it is probably speculated that the distance of this "ghost hitting the wall" is about 400 meters.
And the place that we all give up is at the junction of the triangle and the icostagon.
But even if we find this clue, we are still a little confused, what is the use of this clue?
After some thought, I decided to do another search.
We took out a slender roll of rope from the waterproof bag, which was similar to a fishing line, and this line was only about 200 meters, and after carefully digging through the backpack, we found a small needlework roll, and the needle and thread of this needle and thread were not short. So we connected the two wires together, Zhang Yunhao held one end of the rope, I held the other end, Zhang Yunhao stood still, I pulled one end of the line and walked forward. Everyone wanted to see what was going on in this "circle" we were in, so they followed me.
When the line was straightened, a door appeared in front of us, and we were relieved to finally walk out of the corridor.
"Where's the mouse?" Wu Lele asked.
I pulled the line three times, and according to our previous agreement, Zhang Yunhao would walk towards this side. However, we waited for about ten minutes, Zhang Yunhao did not come out, I pulled the line a few more times, the other end was tighter, indicating that Zhang Yunhao held the other end of the line, but after waiting for about ten minutes, Zhang Yunhao did not come out. Everyone was almost impatient to wait, and I decided to look for Zhang Yunhao.
"No way!" Wu Lele immediately said: "You can't go, who knows if you can come back after you go?" ”
"yes, you still don't want to go." Zhong Ling'er also said: "Since Zhang Yunhao is still pulling the other end of the line, then he will definitely be able to come out." ”
"But after all this time, he hasn't come out......" I said anxiously, "in case he is in danger, we will abandon him!" ”
"Why don't you let me go," Zheng Weiqi stepped forward, grabbed the line and said, "I'll go in along this line, and if I don't find Brother Hao, I'll come out along this line again." ”
Wu Lele asked, "What if you can't get out?" ”
"Why can't you get out?" Zheng Weiqi's eyes widened.
Wu Lele said: "For example, if you are walking and walking, you find that you are missing......"
"I ...... How did I find out I was missing? Zheng Weiqi's face changed slightly.
At this moment, a person walked out of the corridor with one hand on his head, and we looked at Zhang Yunhao.
When Zhang Yunhao walked in front of him, I asked him what was wrong and why he only came out now, and Wu Lele also asked: "Did you pull a tuba inside?" ”
"What's the tuba?" Zhang Yunhao hung his head and said dejectedly: "I don't know how to touch a mechanism, I fell into a hole, I couldn't climb out for a long time, and my head fell out of a bag, and I just climbed out and found the organization along this line." ”
We looked at Zhang Yunhao's forehead, and sure enough, there was a big red envelope.
"Don't do anything to the things here in the future, be careful of your head and grow your bag." Wu Lele reminded him.
Zheng Weiqi said: "What kind of formation is really powerful, we have to use such a strange way to get out, I started to think that we encountered a ghost hitting the wall?" ”
"There's a lot of stuff that isn't related to ghosts." I said, "This is not a ghost hitting the wall, but the architect has built a corridor with his unique wisdom and vision that will give humans the illusion that if you walk in, people will unconsciously walk in a circle around a large circle, no matter how good your sense of direction is, so when we use a straight rope to confirm the direction and walk in a straight line, we have to walk out." ”
"I've seen it again." Zheng Weiqi looked forward and asked, "Next, what difficult formations will we encounter?" ”
"It's shallow on paper, and I never know that I have to do it." Zhang Yunhao said: "Let's go to the front and have a look, won't we?" ”
We are now in a burial chamber, about twenty square meters wide, with a large coffin in the center of the burial chamber, and nothing else in this burial chamber.
We cautiously walked towards the golden coffin, and when we got closer, we found that it was covered with a layer of gold bricks, and although it was covered with dust, it still gave a faint golden light.
"Gold!" Zheng Weiqi was curious to touch it, but was blocked by Liu Xuyang, and said coldly: "This golden coffin is estimated to be highly poisonous, if you don't want to die, don't touch it." Zheng Weiqi's face changed greatly, and he quickly withdrew his hand.
Liu Xuyang held a knife and gently picked at a gold brick above the head of the coffin, and the gold brick flew out, and a black hole with a big fist appeared on the coffin. Liu Xuyang picked out the gold bricks around the black hole again, but found that this was a copper coffin, and there was only one black hole on it.
"How can there be a hole here?" Zhang Yunhao asked: "Could it be that the key we are looking for is in this coffin, and then we have to get it from this hole?" ”
I took out the map and looked at it, and at the location shown on the map, we were very close to the circle in the upper left.
"There's a door there." Xia Mengyao shone a flashlight in front of her, and walked over as she spoke, and we also followed, but found that the door had a secret lock that needed a key to open. There is a mural on the door of a transparent coffin with a man lying in the coffin, and the person holds a key in his hand.
Obviously, the fresco tells us that in order to open this door, we need to take the key from the golden coffin.
