I don't care about talking to the big gold tooth and the fat man about the mystery, just tell them to follow me to do it, and now according to the principle described in the "Sixteen Characters Yin Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" in the "escape" character scroll, the gossip with glutinous rice is decent, and the meridian is exchanged for twenty-three, and the number of steps is calculated, but how difficult this I Ching gossip is, and I don't have the talent for this, although I know some principles, but I can't calculate it at all.

My head is big several times, the more I calculate, the more confused, it seems that I am really not this material, my heart is anxious, I can't calm down at all, no one can help at this time, the fat guy counts the money is OK, although the big gold tooth is shrewd in business, but the number of mathematics is not his specialty.

In the end, I said to the fat man and the big gold tooth: "Let's not waste this brain, since we know that the principle of this soul ladder is to use the change of the high bottom drop, with a special reference to let us go around in a circle, it is easy to deal with, I think we have stupid tricks, or just roll down." ”

The fat man said, "Old Hu, aren't you quite sure that you can deduce it?" Why did you change your mind again now, is it not enough for the brain system? I said I'd get down, but what if I can't get out? Can you guarantee that you will be able to get out? ”

I said to the fat man, "yes, weren't you going to get down just now?" After such a moment and then it faltered again? Getting down is victory, listen to me. "But as soon as I blurted out the words, I immediately lost my confidence, the hanging soul ladder of this ghost tomb in the Western Zhou Dynasty is very strange, and this road is not feasible.

At this time, the candle around us burned to the head again, this small candle bought in Gutian can burn for more than an hour at most, the big gold tooth is afraid of the dark, and quickly found a candle and wanted to light it again, but then suddenly said: "Hey, Master Hu, I remembered one more thing." ”

The fat man said: "Lao Jin, why do you always come here, what is there to say at once, don't be so surprised?" ”

The big gold tooth said: "I'm really scared today, now this brain has just eased up not long, I used to hear our old man say this kind of mechanism, but it's not the same, it's a straight road, the same as the maze, how to look at it standing in it is a road, in fact, I also know an old man, he is not upside down, but he has an ancestral Sui Dynasty "Shengong Spectrum", I want to buy it, he didn't shoot, but I have seen this book, that mentioned this kind of dungeon maze, there is a picture on it, It's like the Arabic numerals of 8 are entangled, I wonder if that kind of maze is the same as the soul ladder we are in now? ”

I said to the big golden tooth: "I also know that kind of maze, and the principle is similar to this, but each place is adapted to local conditions, according to the different terrain and landforms, the size and form have changed, and you must be able to deduce the hexagram before you can get out, but the problem is that we don't know." ”

The big golden tooth said: "I haven't heard of the Soul Hanging Ladder, but I heard the old man say that this kind of soul hooking puzzle has rarely been used since the Zhou Dynasty, because the method of cracking it is very simple, and it can't trap people at all." ”

When the fat man and I heard him say this, we didn't pay attention to the words of the big gold tooth, how to crack such a complicated maze?

The big gold tooth said: "In fact, it is not difficult to say that it is broken at all, this kind of place is to use reference objects to make ghosts, every distance, always seem to be intentional, as if unintentionally make a mark, once you pay attention to these marks, you will be led to deviate from the wrong direction, the steps are repaired at an angle different from usual, the horizontal flute is slightly inclined down, and some places are flat, some places are high, which distracts the attention to the change of angle, and the change in the sense of weight and balance is not easy to detect, but it is easy to walk out with your eyes closed." ”

The fat man said to the big gold tooth: "Oh, what a waking dreamer, let's go down blindfolded, without counting the steps or looking at the mark, maybe we can hit out." ”

I don't think this method is feasible, what the big gold tooth said, is a more stupid way, although this kind of soul ladder is mainly to use visibility to confuse people, but the height difference of the steps is also very mysterious, it is absolutely impossible to walk by feeling, the scale of this "soul ladder" is not clear to us, God knows how long it is in total, and we have been tossing on the "soul ladder" for so long, up and down I don't know how many back and forth, go down with your eyes closed, donkey years and horses can go out?

But why can't the damn be helpless, thinking of the annoyance, I couldn't help but smash the stone wall next to me with my fist, and suddenly thought, by the way, this kind of soul ladder is only used to deal with tomb robbers who fight alone, there are three of us, we can't use the length, we can use the width.

I thought of the way to the big gold tooth and the fat man said, he nodded again and again, this is really a way, because the width of this step is more than ten meters, a person in the middle, only care about finding the crescent mark on the ground, in a pitch black, so that you can not see the stone walls on both sides, unconsciously led by the mark to deviate from the direction, into the fork of the road, if you stick to the side of the wall to go, it is not a thing, then it will also be rolled into the figure 8 path, even more no sense of direction.

But if all three people light candles, lined up horizontally, two of them stick to the middle of the stone wall on both sides to keep a certain visual safety distance, and contact each other every time they go down the next step, so go down slowly, and mark the whole step when they see a fork in the road, and use it for a few hours, where there is still a reason why they can't get out.

So the three of us walked according to the plan, drew a sketch with pen and paper, marked the no layer of steps in the map, if we encountered a fork in the road, we made a clear mark, first use glutinous rice, no glutinous rice with cigarettes, sure enough, we went down not far, we found a hidden fork in the road, we were on the whole step, with glutinous rice and cigarette butts to make obvious marks, recorded clearly in the map, and then continued to move forward, so keep going and stopping, the recorded map is getting bigger and bigger, sure enough, criss-crossed, the most powerful section of the place, is the intersection of the two vortices.

This "Hanging Soul Ladder" is the use of natural cave ingenious design, in fact, it is not big, if it is a large group of people, "Hanging Soul Ladder" does not play any role at all, but only one or two people, can not take into account the width of the "Hanging Soul Ladder", it is easy to fall into it, unless there is enough lighting equipment on the body, every other layer of stone steps, are full of a row of candles, otherwise just want to find the crescent-shaped mark on the steps, that is, there is no life and death deeper and deeper, in addition, the material of the stone steps is very hard, there are no sharp tools, It is difficult to make a separate mark on it.

Although the stone steps are gray, they are obviously smeared with a secret material, which can actually have the effect of absorbing light, thinking of the wisdom and wisdom of the ancient Chinese people, it is really breathtaking, and it is not convincing.

In fact, there are many such secret recipes, secret materials and other things in ancient China, but they are all monopolized by the royal family and nobles, not used to build bridges and pave roads to improve people's living standards, but are used to consolidate their own dominance, or to design the mausoleum of the royal family, at that time, these secrets have always been the privilege of a few people.

Extrapolating from the scale, we had drawn about two-fifths of the way to the map, and at last there were no more steps under our feet, and we had returned to the temple, where the coffin with a human face was still standing quietly in the southeast corner of the temple.

I looked at my watch, we tossed on the "Hanging Soul Ladder" for four and a half hours, it was now about three o'clock in the afternoon, since nine o'clock in the morning to eat the last meal, I haven't eaten anything, my stomach is so hungry that I thought I entered the thief hole, and I touched the Ming Instrument in the Hades Temple and left, who would have thought of these many twists and turns, and also met a "mound ghost" in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Although it is the fine tradition of our army to be good at fighting unprepared battles, it is obviously not suitable to use this set in the industry of fighting a war, and fighting a war relies on courage and wisdom, while fighting a war is more important than a sober mind, rich experience, perfect technology, sophisticated equipment, and adequate preparation, all of which are indispensable.

The tomb bricks in the middle of the ground of the Hades Temple were opened and piled aside, where was the robbery hole we came into, and it was found that the bottom of the robbery cave had become the bottom floor of the ghost tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which was the tomb road leading to the burial ditch.

It was pitch black all around the temple, and I lit a candle in the southeast corner of the temple out of habit, but this was the last one we brought into the tomb, and the small flames of the candle were burning straight, bringing a small light to the ghostly underground palace of the tomb.

The three of them looked at the candles on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief, for the rest of their lives, they were extremely proud in their hearts, and they couldn't help laughing relatively loudly, and I said to the fat man with big gold teeth: "How about it, in the end, it depends on my old Hu's ability, this kind of small place, where can we be trapped." ”

The fat man said: "The credit of me and Lao Jin is also great, without the two of us alone, can you go down, where is this, you start to inflate yourself." ”

I laughed, but laughing and laughing, suddenly I felt that something was missing, and I couldn't laugh anymore.

Where did the two big white geese that they had been leading go? I was in a hurry to leave the "Soul Ladder" just now, and I didn't pay attention in my hurry, so I asked the fat man, "Didn't you let you lead the two of them, why are they gone?" Did you forget it on the Soul Ladder? ”

The fat man swore to the sky: "Absolutely, absolutely brought back to the Hades Temple, just now I was happy, and I let go, *** Where did I go in the blink of an eye?" It shouldn't be too far, let's split up and look for it, it's not easy to catch if we run far. ”

The two big white geese that ran away, if they were in the Hades Temple, it was already extremely difficult to find, if they ran to the magnificent front hall of the grand building, then there was nowhere to find it, the key is that we have few people, and there is no large-scale lighting equipment, where to find it in the dark.

Without geese, you can't get rid of the siege of the ghost mound, this temple is so big, where can you run to? We were just about to look around, when we suddenly heard a strange sound from the stone coffin with human faces, which suddenly appeared in the empty and silent underground palace, and pierced the ears and bones.
