Before I could speak, the black cloak nodded: "Sixth Master, I understand what you mean." Do you mean that we are in a mathematical paradoxical environment like the Penrose Steps? ”

Kaleidoscope nodded: "That's right." This is the kind of environment that is like Penrose's mathematical paradox. ”

Grimace frowned when he heard this: "I don't understand what Penrose is saying." ”

Black Cloak smiled and began to explain the "Penrose Steps", one of the so-called "Ten Paradoxes of the World".

The Penrose ladder is a ladder that is always up or down but never ends, and the highest or lowest point can never be found on this ladder. The Penrose Ladder by the British mathematician Roger? Penrose and his father, the geneticist Leonid? Penrose proposed it in 1958.

Grimace was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then took another puff of cigarette: "If you say that, we won't be able to get out, right?" ”

Kaleidoscope waved his hand: "Of course not, we can finally find the entrance and exit of this place, right?" ”

"Then how are we going to verify your proposition of what step now?"

"Hey!" Kaleidoscope smiled playfully. "It's very simple, when you verified the first proposition just now, third brother, you cut a hole in this wall, if we are really trapped in this place, we will definitely go back."

"No need, I'm fast, you wait for me, if I appear behind you, it means that the kaleidoscope is right." Without saying hello, he disappeared into the narrow road.

We waited anxiously, and there was a drum beating in our hearts, if we let the kaleidoscope say it right, then we are really nine deaths, even if this tomb road is not very long, the length must be about 100 meters, on the mountain wall of about 100 meters, it is really more difficult than Shu Road!

Smack......

A sound of footsteps came from behind us, and we looked back, Grimace Zhang was standing behind us, looking at us with a gloomy face, looking down at the pedometer and timer in our hands.

"Five and a half minutes, a total of five hundred and eighty-seven steps." He said in a deep voice.

"Five hundred and eighty-seven steps, how long will it take to find the entrance and exit?" The Dragon King's face was very bad, and he said in surprise.

I was also dizzy when I heard it, five hundred and eighty-seven steps, cut out the parallel position of the Penrose steps, so why we have also descended fifty or sixty meters, then how long will we have to find this entrance and exit.

"There is no other way but to find it from this corridor little by little."

I suddenly felt a chill in my heart when I heard this, sure enough, we don't have the kind of characters in our team such as "Faqiu Zhonglang General" and Changsha Jiumen, we have to find it step by step, I am more and more questioning the composition of this team, will these guys all be amateurs.

Dangdang!

We tapped step by step along the path, starting with the mark that Grimace had cut with a knife, and we took a step and tapped the walls of the cave to the left and right.

I don't know how long the irritable work had been going on, and the anger from the pain in my arm and the dangers along the way had made my mind angry, but I was just about to get angry when a worn-out text on the wall caught my eye.

praj?āpāramitā

A flash of lightning flashed through my head, as if I had been struck by lightning. I seem to be very familiar with this text, but I can't remember, what is it? Thinking of this, I whispered, "Wait! ”

Everyone was startled by my sudden words, and looked back at me with grimaces: "What's the matter?" ”

I pointed to the wall: "What is this?" ”

Grimace leaned over and looked: "P... rajna… What is it? ”

As soon as the English alphabet voice fell, Mengya and Master, the black cloak were stunned at the same time, and hurriedly looked back at this string of strange words, and looked at me at the same time, making me very weird. At this time, the kaleidoscope also came over: "What? Let me see. As he spoke, he straightened the glasses on his face and squinted at it.

“praj?āpāramitā？ This is Indian Sanskrit, which means that the other side has arrived, or to the other side. That's the language of a scripture. ”

When I heard this, my head flashed like a thunderbolt, and suddenly disappeared again, this memory, as if it had been deleted, or even that it might have been completely forgotten, but it was so familiar? I peeked at the three people on the side, and saw that Mengya's face was already like ashes, with a very terrifying expression, as if she was going to kill someone.

Grimace has nothing to do with our right or wrong, and I actually knocked on this wall with words on it, but apparently I didn't find anything.

"Ahem!" The grimace turned his head and whistled me, and I was stunned for a moment, and then I came to my senses. "Come here, look at this text, what can you remember?"

Obviously, Grimace saw the unusual behavior of several of us, and I could see that this text must have some inevitable connection with me.

I nodded, looking at the words on the stone, still confused. I clicked the wall with my hand, and nothing changed. It can be seen that this character is definitely not engraved on it in the past one or two years, and it is at least five years old. And the wear and tear on this seems to be deliberately drawn so that people can't see it, or in other words, it is to let a specific person or thing have a certain effect, and then let a specific person see it, so it is drawn up like this.

Apparently, Grimace saw that I had no clue, pushed me away, stood in front of the text, looked at it carefully, and touched the text with the fingers of his hand. After a long time, he suddenly knocked on the surface of the text again, as if he had found something, and turned around and shouted: "Give me the electric baton!" The man replied and handed the flashlight to Grimace, who turned on the flashlight and shone the flashlight on the text, and something unexpected happened.

I saw that the carved text suddenly reflected light from the gap under the illumination of the electric rod, and it was obvious that this rock was artificially blocked on it, and the inside was empty, and if you were in relatively dark conditions, you would not be able to see the clues in it.

Grimace nodded, lifted his foot, and pulled a sharp dagger from the waist of his boot, prying it repeatedly through the crack in the stone. I didn't pry it a few times before I heard a "creak", which was engraved with strange Sanskrit, and the fist-sized stone was actually pried off.

Grimace looked at the people standing behind, and a smug look appeared on his face again, he inserted the dagger back into the waist of his boots, and looked back at the gap, only to see the fist-sized hole in the black hole, I don't know how deep it is, which makes people shudder to look at. He looked at it, shone it with a flashlight, looked at it carefully, and whispered, "There's a candle in there." ”

"Candles?" Kaleidoscope looked puzzled. "Could it be that the candles used for lighting in the original tomb have not been used up?"

Grimace waved his hand: "I suspect this candle is a switch." ”

"What switch, tomb switch?"

Grimace Zhang nodded, lit a cigarette, and put it in his mouth: "Looks like I'm going to have to light this candle." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, lighting a candle is not a trouble, if there is something strange in it, or some harmful mechanism, for example, this candle is a fuse, and there is explosives underneath, then we are not buried underneath? The important thing is that the words on this stone mean "to the other side", isn't that just to send us to the western heaven, if this means that we are going to the western heaven after lighting this candle, then wouldn't we all be done playing?

Before everyone could persuade him, the black cloak stopped the grimace with his hand: "Third Master Zhang, let's consider it before making plans, in case this candle is a harmful mechanism." ”

Grimace frowned: "Do you have a better way?" ”

The black cloak shook his head, although everyone felt that it was very dangerous to light this candle, and it could be described as nine deaths. But we don't have a better way, so lighting this candle, while dangerous, seems to be the only option we have right now.

Grimace Zhang didn't say anything, took a deep puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled, took out a lighter, and went deep into the hole without the slightest hesitation.

Gaba.

Grimace flicked the lighter and lit the candle in the cavern. There was a loud click, and the cavern was suddenly lit by the light of countless candles, and we seemed to be standing on a motorized staircase and moving in parallel.
