Chapter 415: Soul Ladder
After seeing the ancient temple, I hurriedly told Qiu Shasha, and then the two of us rushed to the front.
Half an hour later, Qiu Shasha and I came to the front of this ancient temple, and when I saw the tattered wooden door of the ancient temple in front of me, as well as the broken plaque on the wooden door, I had an indescribable emotion in my heart, and I was very melancholy.
Walking to the door of the temple, the two white paper lanterns that swayed in the wind were already tattered and dusty......
Pushing open the temple door, Qiu Shasha and I walked in with our legs raised, and after entering the ancient temple, I walked directly towards the open space in the backyard without the slightest pause.
When I came to the backyard, I found the thief hole that Lao Liu and the others had dug in the backyard, walked over, put down the backpack on my back, and turned it out from the inside, wearing spotlights, climbing ropes and gloves.
Qiu Shasha, who was on the side, saw that I was busy with work, and said to me with a smile:
"Thirteen, I really haven't seen it, you're learning very fast, if you let you go to the ancient tomb a few more times, I guess you will definitely be a professional tomb robber in the future."
"I said Qiu Shasha, don't take me to make fun of me, I know how many catties and taels I have." As I spoke, I slowly tied one end of the rope to a dead tree nearby.
Putting the rope down from the thief hole, I first took out a yang talisman and pasted it on my chest, and then took the candle dragon Jiufeng out of my backpack, turned my head to look at Qiu Shasha and said:
"Qiu Shasha, I'll go down first, and you will follow."
Qiu Shasha nodded and agreed.
Seeing this, I bit the candle dragon Jiufeng in my hand tightly with my mouth, put on gloves, grabbed the rope with both hands, jumped my body, and slid down a little bit towards the bottom of the thief hole.
And Qiu Shasha followed closely behind me, also sliding down the rope from above little by little.
After landing on the ground, I first looked around at the electric light of the headlamp above my head, and the entrance to the tomb was still the same as the first time we entered, the space inside was extremely narrow, except for the layers of green bricks around, and there was only a stained bronze door on the opposite side, which had been opened.
After seeing the bronze door, which was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar, I immediately walked towards it, and Qiu Shasha followed closely beside me, observing the surroundings with a wary expression, without saying a word.
The moment I walked through this bronze gate, I just stepped into the damp tomb inside, and suddenly! A strange cold wind blew out from the depths of the tomb, making my whole body tremble!
Sure enough, something is strange!
"Thirteen, be careful, there's something wrong in this tomb." Qiu Shasha, who was following me, looked around and reminded me.
After hearing Qiu Shasha's words, I nodded, gathered my yang energy into my eyes, and walked cautiously towards the end of the tomb.
The two of us walked towards the depths of the grave for twenty or thirty minutes, and gradually I realized that something was wrong...... It's as if there is no end to this graveyard!
And I had the feeling that what was originally a straight and flat tomb passage had an extra layer of steps only a few centimeters high, and it stretched down as if there was no end to it, leading to hell......
After more than ten minutes of walking, I felt more and more that something was wrong, and we must be trapped now!
What's going on, I remember the last time we came to this ancient tomb, we didn't encounter this situation, and the tomb road is not long, why did we walk for so long this time, and there is still no sign of coming to the end?
Thinking of this, I wanted to tell this question to Qiu Shasha next to me, but just as I was about to speak, Qiu Shasha said to me before me:
"Thirteen, something is wrong!"
"You noticed that, too?" I hurriedly asked.
"Yes, it's like we've entered a tomb trap, a trap that we'll never be able to get out of." Qiu Shasha looked at me and said.
"Organs? What kind of mechanism? The last time we came, we also passed by this tombway, and we didn't encounter any organs, but we saw a stone monument. I looked at Qiu Shasha and said puzzled.
After Qiu Shasha heard my words, she first squatted down and looked at the ground for a while, then got up and asked me:
"Thirteen, do you have a flashlight with you now?"
"With it." I agreed, and hurriedly took out a bright flashlight from my backpack and handed it to Qiu Shasha.
Qiu Shasha took the flashlight from my hand, and then shone it towards the dark tomb wall nearby, and as the flashlight shone on the curtain wall, I found that the light of the flashlight began to weaken slowly, as if it was about to run out......
"This ...... What's going on? I looked at Qiu Shasha and asked.
Qiu Shasha put the strong light flashlight back, turned it off, looked at me and said:
"We are very unlucky to come to one of the most mysterious mechanisms in the ancient tombs for thousands of years: the 'Soul Ladder'!"
"Soul Ladder?!" After I heard these three words, I immediately thought of the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the protagonists Hu Bayi and Wang Fatzi and the big gold tooth The three of them encountered the soul ladder in the ancient tomb, and almost trapped the three of them in it.
"Qiu Shasha, how did this soul ladder trap people? Is there a way to crack it? I looked back at Qiu Shasha and asked.
When Qiu Shasha heard my words, she first measured the steps that suddenly appeared on the ground of the tomb with her fingers, and after a while, she raised her head and whispered to me:
"The conditions for the composition of the Soul Ladder are quite harsh, but its principle is very simple, we first assume that the east is the starting point to go south, assuming that the drop of each staircase is seventeen centimeters, we put the next step of the staircase at the starting point of the horizontal plane slightly up one centimeter, such a small change is not experienced by people in the dark, then this Soul Ladder has a total of twenty-three stairs, each step is actually oblique one centimeter, a total of twenty-three centimeters up the slope, minus the seventeen centimeters of the drop, in fact, the person is six centimeters up, and then change to the west, Or slope up one centimeter, after walking the twenty-three steps actually go up six centimeters, adding up to twelve centimeters, and then turn to the north, the first twenty-two stairs are inclined up one centimeter, the last step falls directly on the starting point, because the starting point is flat, then in fact this section only obliquely goes up twenty-three minus seventeen centimeters, which is equal to five centimeters, plus the sum of the previous six + six centimeters twelve centimeters is exactly seventeen centimeters, and so on, we will never be able to finish, and we will go out ....... Qiu Shasha looked at me and explained a little bit seriously.
"Thirteen, can you understand?" Qiu Shasha looked at me with a blank expression, and I asked with an expression.
I shook my head again and again:
"It's good if I can promise not to go crazy, you understand, where do you understand?! Qiu Shasha, don't talk about the principle, just tell me directly how this soul ladder should get out? ”
Qiu Shasha looked at me and said:
"It's simple...... Close your eyes and keep going. ”
After hearing Qiu Shasha's words, I was speechless:
"Then you didn't say it earlier, you just said a lot, I didn't understand a word, and I almost made you confused......
"Hey! Left thirteen! Do you have a little conscience?! Just now, you obviously asked me to explain the principle of this Soul Ladder, I just said so much, I don't want to do my best, right?! Qiu Shasha looked at me and said angrily.
Seeing Qiu Shasha's current appearance, I hurriedly waved my hand:
"I was wrong, I was wrong, Miss Qiu, don't be like me, don't be angry, let's continue to move forward."
I turned around, closed my eyes, and slowly walked towards the dark grave in front of me......
After walking for dozens of steps, I suddenly felt a gentle blow from the back
"Qiu Shasha, what's wrong?" I stopped, opened my eyes and looked behind me, but when I saw it, I was shocked, because behind me there was only a dark tomb, and there was no one in sight!
"Qiu Shasha? Qiu Shasha ...... "I looked around and shouted, but no one answered me.
Where did she go? In this narrow tomb passage, there is no place to hide people, and Qiu Shasha's people disappeared in just a few dozen steps......
And also! If Qiu Shasha and the others are gone, then who will be the person who patted me on the shoulder just now?!!
