Chapter 24: Lost (4)
"Take a break." Zuo Qingcang beckoned the old man to sit down together: "You are too nervous, if you continue like this, both your energy and your body will be consumed faster than before." ”
"It's normal for me to be like this, and when I encounter such a desperate situation like you, I don't have any expression, I think it's strange." The old man retorted. However, when Zuo Qingcang saw that the old man still had the heart to refute like this, he knew that the other party's mental condition was not too bad.
Looking at the dim light around him, Zuo Qingcang comforted: "Don't worry, our food is enough to last for two months, enough for us to crack the secret of this labyrinth." ”
"Is it really enough?" The old man said with some irritation: "But until now, we have no clue, and we don't even know what the principle of this labyrinth is. ”
"At least some possibilities have been ruled out." Zuo Qingcang said: "I just thought about it, if this labyrinth is to be built to the scale of hundreds of rooms we have encountered so far, it means that it has continued to extend underground, and it is likely to be some kind of three-dimensional structure, and these rooms and passages may move up and down, left and right. ”
"That's not worse." The old man said, "And how big is this project?" Maybe we really fell for some kind of illusion, or maybe there was some kind of spatial Dao formation hidden here. ”
"Let's try again." Zuo Qingcang said: "Anyway, we still have a lot of time, maybe after a dozen more rooms, we can see the mark." ”
When he heard Zuo Qingcang say that we still have a lot of time, the old man really hated itchy, and he couldn't imagine where Zuo Qingcang, a young man, got so much patience.
Then the two of them said a few more words, and after resting for half an hour, they continued to explore. Although in the dim ancient tomb, the old man's spirit was still tense and irritable, but with Zuo Qingcang's company, and Zuo Qingcang always looked so calm and confident, his mental state deteriorated much slower.
Three days later, the number of rooms explored had reached four hundred and fifty-two, but everywhere they passed, they were still the same rooms, the same passages.
"Damn it!" The old man's eyes were bloodshot, he hadn't been able to sleep all night yesterday, and the passages around him were like the gates of hell, devouring the souls of everyone who passed by.
is also because of his poor state, the degree of exploration between the two of them has been greatly reduced. In fact, they have given up the possibility that the whole labyrinth is changed through guò mechanisms. After all, even if all the rooms are the same, judging by the number of rooms they pass by, if it is a change in the mechanism, the number of rooms is at least thousands.
"It must be an illusion!" The old man said with some nervousness: "Ghosts hit the wall, have you ever heard of ghosts hitting the wall!" We must have been going around in circles these days, and all the marks we made were erased. ”
"Calm down." Seeing the old man's appearance, Zuo Qingcang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Relax, you sit down and rest first." ”
"It's useless, we can't get out." The old man smirked: "Those tomb robbers, there are dozens of Taoist priests, and even they are trapped here, how can we get out." With that, he burst out laughing nervously.
Zuo Qingcang frowned, and the next moment a hand knife had already smashed into the opponent's neck, and the oxygen supply to the brain was insufficient in an instant, making the old man faint immediately.
"You'd better get some sleep first."
The old man hadn't slept for 3o hours, and his nerves had been tense for too long. In this case, perhaps a good night's sleep will help him relax.
And Zuo Qingcang looked at the stone room in front of him, and began to think about what the old man said before.
'Hallucinations......
"It's very possible, but in Taoism, if you want to use illusions, you need to use medicine by external means, images, sounds, movements, words, and internal means, and you can use telekinesis directly......
Zuo Qingcang recalled that the old man had taught him about Taoism for more than half a year. Unlike true martial arts, Taoism is about seeking external forces and visualizing the created field to influence the external elements. And this field or fluctuation of Zuo Qingcang's speculation is called telekinesis by cultivators in this world.
The impetus of the telekinesis was very weak at first, and the impetus of most cultivators was probably not as strong as that of a baby's hand. However, as a special field, or wave, telekinesis is almost pervasive, and it can accomplish many things that ordinary people cannot do, helping Taoist priests to cast spells.
'The strongest illusion is to directly modify the senses of others with telekinesis. Zuo Qingcang touched his chin and thought, "This is a bit similar to the brain releasing special electromagnetic waves, creating a special magnetic field that interferes with other people's brains. All in all, a special kind of illusion that can only be performed by humans at the moment. ’
In this labyrinth, it is obvious that there are no human beings, so is it still some kind of external object that is creating illusions for us? ’
Zuo Qingcang didn't know that this was the first time that he had carefully observed every part of the entire stone chamber, but he still hadn't been able to find any clues.
'No superfluous images, no unreasonable structures, no dark rooms, no secret passages, no sounds, and no special smells. ’
So what is it that is interfering with our senses? ’
Zuo Qingcang kept thinking, recalling all his actions since entering the labyrinth, looking at the dim light in front of him, he always felt that something, something important, had been forgotten by him.
'What the hell is it?' ’
Two hours later, the feeling that something had been forgotten but could not be thought of was still slightly bothering Zuo Qingcang, and it was at this time that the old man on the side covered his neck and slowly got up.
"Your hands are too heavy, if it weren't for the fact that I have also practiced martial arts, I'm afraid you will break your neck this time."
"Are you feeling better?" Zuo Qingcang glanced at him and said.
"Hmm." The old man nodded, with a hint of doubt on his face: "Do you think the lights in this room are a little strange?" ”
"Lights?" It was as if something suddenly exploded in Zuo Qingcang's mind, he stood up with a brush, staring at the everlasting lamp on the wall with his eyes, and muttered, "Finally remembered, is this so?" ”
