Chapter 25: Lost (5)

"What's wrong?" The old man said suspiciously.

"As I said before, the reason why there is light in the stone chamber and no light in the passage is because the builders of the labyrinth wanted us to ignore what was going on in the passage." Zuo Qingcang walked over to a long name lamp and continued, "I was wrong. ”

"What they really want to hide is what they see in front of them." Looking at the ever-bright lamp in front of him, Zuo Qingcang used a dagger to pry open the lampshade outside the lamp, looking at the scene, his face showed surprise.

In this position, which has been ignored by the two of them, in the lampshade of the ever-bright lamp, the light emitted is not such a fire at all, but a strange electric light, or ...... Lamplight.

A silvery liquid surrounds the lamp, a liquid conductive metal that propagates electric current.

"Actually, if you think about it, there is a big problem. What kind of fuel can keep the lamp lit and even burn for more than 2,000 years? Zuo Qingcang said slowly: "Before the earthquake, shouldn't this maze be sealed, if the combustion needs to consume air, then how do these lights keep burning until after the earthquake, until now?" ”

Zuo Qingcang looked at the ever-bright lamp in front of him, and thought silently in his heart: 'Is this liquid mercury?' I really didn't expect that, although I thought that there was a problem with this lamp, but I didn't expect that they were actually powered by electricity, and the so-called fuel is actually a conductive medium......

Just when Zuo Qingcang was thinking this, a trace of confusion suddenly flashed in his eyes, and there were signs of ignoring, or forgetting the problem of the ever-bright lamp.

'It's weird! ’

While thinking like this, Zuo Qingcang's right hand had already moved first, and the sharp dagger was like a lightning bolt in the night sky, bringing up an afterimage, which had already turned the lamp in front of him into two.

Not only the lamp in front of him, Zuo Qingcang's brain was in a trance, and he almost didn't remember what was wrong with the ever-bright lamp in front of him, and the only thing he remembered was that he must destroy all the lights in front of him.

Whew!

In the eyes of the old man, Zuo Qingcang seemed to be crazy, holding a dagger and destroying one after another ever-bright lanterns. The old man rushed up and grabbed his arm to stop him.

"What are you doing! It's going to be completely dark. ”

"Get out of the way!"

Zuo Qingcang ignored him, and continued to destroy all the everlasting lamps one by one, until the last everlasting lamp on the wall was also cut off, and the entire stone room fell into darkness again, only the night pearl in the arms of the two of them still glowed faintly.

In the darkness, the two of them each squatted down with their foreheads on their foreheads, as if some piercing scream was churning in their brains, and after a moment of sharp stinging, the two slowly opened their eyes.

"Hallucination...... Is it because of the relationship between these ever-bright lights? The old man muttered.

"Not bad." Zuo Qingcang rubbed his forehead, which was still a little tingling, and said slowly: "In fact, ordinary people come to a labyrinth, and after seeing the dark corridor, they will not want to extinguish the only light source in the stone room. This is a psychological hole.

But what really matters is the illusionary abilities that these lanterns possess when lit, which not only traps us here, but also makes us subconsciously ignore them. ”

This is the reason why Zuo Qingcang felt that he remembered something every time he went to the stone room and saw these lights, but he couldn't remember what he remembered. He was curious about the lantern as early as the beginning, but because of the neglect of the lantern, he didn't delve into it.

Until continuous thinking, constantly stimulating his memory, and under the reminder of the old man, relying on amazing perseverance to solve the everlasting lamp.

Of course, there were still some speculations, and Zuo Qingcang buried it in his stomach and didn't say it.

'The Taoist priests of the Western Wei Dynasty were already able to use electricity? Is this illusion a magnetic field created by an electric current to affect the human senses? ’

"Even in the most advanced army in the previous generation, this weapon is probably only on the basis of concept drawings, and the Taoist priests here can already be used to build mechanisms......

The next two people relied on the faint light of the Night Pearl to carefully investigate the surrounding stone chambers that had fallen into darkness.

But after some investigation, the old man's face was already slightly disappointed. Because even if the lights are dimmed, the surrounding building structure still does not change in the slightest, it is still the same size stone chamber, and it is still four passages in different directions.

"Isn't the illusion still unresolved?"

"Nope." Zuo Qingcang touched several scratches on the wall, and said lightly: "The illusion has been lifted, and here are the marks we left before."

Looks like this illusion works ......"

Next, the two of them passed through the stone chamber, destroying the lantern in it to dispel the illusion, and then made a mark through guò, and little by little began to build the structure of the entire labyrinth. Without the interference of illusion, the simple stone chamber labyrinth is naturally no longer impossible to crack.

In the investigation of Zuo Qingcang and the old man, they now have a total of forty-nine stone rooms, which are divided into three floors, each with a different number of rooms. Because of the illusion, they have actually been going around in circles among the forty-nine stone chambers.

So, the reason why the previous corpse monsters came to the thief cave is because the illusion did not work, is it because the structure of the human brain and their organs is different? ’

And just like this, the labyrinth, although difficult, may not be able to trap the tomb robbers. Sure enough, because of the earthquake, I am afraid that some of the mechanisms in this maze will not continue to operate. ’

Zuo Qingcang was not wrong, because of the earthquake, the spiritual power operation route in this maze was destroyed, and many Dao organs could not continue to operate. If it is fully operational, there is Dao interference inside, and the stone chambers and passages outside will even change, and there are countless killing traps.

If Zuo Qingcang and the old man were to face the labyrinth faced by the tomb robber team that was fully armed and had dozens of Taoist priests at the beginning, they might not survive a day at all.

While Zuo Qingcang was thinking about some details in the labyrinth, he and the old man had already arrived at the last stone room in the labyrinth, except for the way they came, this last stone room, there was only one passage left, obviously this was the exit from the labyrinth.

"It's finally out, and to be honest, I'm desperate at the last minute." The old man sighed, "I thought I would starve to death in the end and be eaten by corpse monsters. ”

"Just out of the labyrinth." Zuo Qingcang's expression was still as cold as ever: "Next, I don't know what I'll encounter yet, don't relax." ”

As he spoke, the figures of the two had slowly walked into the passage until they had completely disappeared into darkness.
