The sparkling and illusory blood-colored jade platform carries a certain carrier of the soul, refracting the red halo, forming a strange picture of the intersection of light and shadow.

When I woke up again, there was a dormitory in front of me, with endless emptiness and haze mottled with quaint and old space years, only a crystal coffin lying quietly in the center.

On the top of the hall wall, there are two snow-white cranes, and on the snow-white walls on both sides are clusters of vigorous stone carved pines and cypresses, and the steps lead to the high platform where the crystal coffin is held in the center, and the overall environment is very clean and elegant, like a fairyland room.

Take a few steps forward and climb the steps, the warm jade steps reveal a faint temperature.

"What about them?" Zhu Beichen was shocked and reacted very quickly, "I'm dreaming again, where is this?" ”

The material of the jade steps costs a lot of money, and it is hard to imagine how noble a person who enjoys such a privilege after death is alive, and all the light sources in the room come from the holy crystal coffin on the high platform.

Inside the coffin lay a plain-clothed woman, her form lifelike, her skin could be broken by blowing, and a thin mask of cicada wings covered her facial features.

Zhu Beichen guessed that the hostess lying in the crystal coffin must have been an extremely beautiful woman before her death, and the dreams she had always had in reality would be confirmed one by one, this time she wouldn't come here inexplicably, and the person lying inside had something to do with herself?

Under the mask, his deep eyes flickered, and he almost thought that he was confused, and then he saw that the corpse had indeed opened his eyes, and he just lay flat and stared directly at the space at the upper end of the dormitory.

She twitched her eyes a few times, adapted to the light around her when she recovered, and then turned her perspective to stare at Zhu Beichen stiffly and rigidly.

"Don't be afraid!"

The woman's jade lips were bright red as if they were smeared with blood, and she obviously didn't open her mouth, but the voice of the woman speaking came from Zhu Beichen's ears very clearly.

"Huh?" Zhu Beichen couldn't say a word for a long time, and he had goosebumps all over his body.

The woman seemed to know that he would react like this, and said in an extremely flat tone: "Let's make a deal?" ”

"What~~ What a deal?" He wiped a cold sweat on his cuffs, and what he feared most was that he would have to deal with this kind of conversation when he knew it was a dream.

The voice was so close that it was like speaking close to the root of the ear.

"Let me out, there's what you want in the place where I'm imprisoned?"

"You know what I want?" His eyes lit up, and he instantly came to his senses.

"An ancient book contains all the mysteries of the world. I can tell you that it's under the 'Ancient City Buried in the Sand', and if you help me, you can get her." ”

Suddenly, the vision went dark, and the crystal coffin and the dormitory fell into the boundless dark abyss together.

"Hey, then how can I let you out, you can say something."

……

In the Hades Temple, the jade platform was completely soaked in blood, and the eight corners corresponding to the table of the Eight Immortals gradually appeared blood-red eight ancient characters.

Han Qingxin swept his eyes coldly and asked in a condensed voice, "What do these words mean?" ”

"The eight gates represented by the ancient texts, although the words are different. But I think it should be the eight words of rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, shock, and door, which represent the eight doors of reciprocation. ”

"It's not that the blood dripping into Beichen can open the bracket, what does it mean now?" She had a slight suspicion that there were many doubts about Shichima's behavior, such as why he had never explained why he was here, why he knew about the mechanism of the Sun Tomb, and even knew about the existence of Morichiten.

There is indeed a bracket on the Eight Immortal Jade Table, which protrudes from the surface of the table relative to the font of the Eight Gates of Life and Death, presenting independent character blocks.

"The eight doors are reciprocating, and they can be moved, but this ancient bracket is cleverly designed. Do you see the path on the countertop? Slide the tile to the center and move it in the other direction. To put it simply, it is to exchange the direction of the word block, and there is a correct combination under the jade platform, and the door will open if you move it correctly, otherwise it will touch the mechanism. Shichima analyzed that he speculated that this was the layout based on common sense, and it could also be wrong.

"One by one, you will always try the right solution." Han Qingxin said.

It stands to reason that today's combination locks can be inferred an infinite number of times to find the correct number, and her method is a viable idea.

July sighed, shook his head, and said, "You can think like this, the wisdom of the ancients will not be stupider than ours." Each block has only one chance to move, and once it is moved, the block will lock up, giving you no chance to move again. ”

In other words, all hypothetical scenarios have only one chance to try, and one mistake can trigger an unpredictable outcome.

Purely from the point of view of probability, the first block of words has seven positions that can be moved, of course, there is also the possibility of standing still, and the method of calculating the movement in turn is as many as 8 geometric progressions.

The fat man was silent, listening to the footsteps in the tomb with his ears pricked up, "It seems that ~~ It seems that a large group of people are rushing to us, and if we wait, we will be swallowed alive." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the severed limbs of the seven rooms. He had seen the horror of that kind of thing, and the roots of his teeth were starting to tremble.

"Whew" Zhu Beichen, who fell to the ground and fell asleep, took a breath and woke up.

"Let me try, maybe I can unravel it all at once." He swung his wrist and a white cloth wrapped around the wound.

His mind was slightly dizzy, his saliva moistened his dry throat, and he struggled to stand up with one hand on the ground.

"Are you awake?" Han Qingxin asked with concern.

"Next time you want my blood to say hello to me directly, don't stun me and take it yourself, it's not good."

After speaking, he didn't care about the reaction of the seven rooms, and focused on the words on the table of the eight immortals, and sighed secretly: Is it over? These characters are weird, and they can't even tell which one is the one who is closed and which one is the living door, and how to move them.

He asked himself that he was also involved in Qimen gossip, but the problem was that he had to be literate first, wouldn't he be blind if he moved around like this?

"Are you sure?" Seven asked with skeptical eyes, "If you make a mistake once, there is no way back." ”

"Do we have a way out now?" Although he didn't know what it was chasing Shichima around, the power of that thing was imaginable, otherwise Shichima wouldn't have broken an arm.

Zhu Beichen pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, pressing his hand on a word, which piece he chooses is actually the same for him, and he doesn't know them anyway.

But as soon as he moved the word block to the center of the jade platform, he thought about it for a long time and didn't see any forming ideas, and then moved another word block to the center, and when he was about to swap them, his arms were numb like an electric shock.

"If you change it like this, you will trigger the mechanism and die without a place to bury."

It was that voice, the female voice he was extremely familiar with, and there was indeed a crystal coffin under the Sun Tomb, and Zhu Beichen was finally convinced now.

In the center is a circular groove, which can only allow three blocks to be moved here at a time, and Zhu Beichen tried it and found that the blocks could not leave the table.

"Jing to Du, this is the piece in your hand, move to the northeast corner of Dumen, Du to the door of death."

He broke out in a cold sweat, his mood was indescribable, and he hurriedly looked around, there was no fourth person in the empty temple.

Where is the woman hiding? Why can she see my every move?

Zhu Beichen looked at Han Qingxin and the others again, and it seemed that none of them heard this voice.

Time was pressing, so he had to choose to believe her, otherwise he would die horizontally and vertically, his hand left the Jingzi block, and touched the Du character again.

Qijian was startled and held down Zhu Beichen's hand: "Who taught you to walk like this?" ”

Zhu Beichen also retracted his hand by Qijian's voice, and began to hesitate: "Isn't it right to go like this?" ”

"Do you see if these words resemble the couplet behind me?" Seven understood the moment the font appeared, and the key to solving the problem was actually on the couplets on both sides of the jade case, "I know you also paid attention to that couplet, didn't you think that it might be hinting at the order of arrangement?" ”

He didn't say that a few people wouldn't pay attention at all, and at a glance, 8 of the 9 characters on the left side corresponded to the 8 characters on the jade platform, and there were also 8 characters on the right side that were exactly the same, but the last word could not be explained.

The order of the eight characters on the left and right ends is completely out of order, "According to the correspondence on the couplet, the word you are holding now should be interchangeable with another word, not this." Qijian explained, which is why he repeatedly asked Zhu Beichen to be sure.

Now the most difficult thing is Zhu Beichen, whether to follow the prompts of the couplet to move the block, or ......

What to do? What to do? The footsteps are getting closer!

Zhu Beichen was anxious in his heart, and the eyes of the three of them also made him feel extremely pressured, and his every move carried the fate of the three of them.

"Don't believe anything you see!" The female voice reminded Zhu Beichen in her heart.

He frowned and thought for ten seconds, suddenly realized, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Hehe, if... I'm the designer of the tomb, guess what I'd think! ”

Zhu Beichen no longer hesitated, and decisively completed the first round of swapping according to the woman's instructions.

The machine bracket clicks in correctly and gives a "click" prompt, and anyone who understands the principle of the gear door lock knows that it is the sound of alignment.

Qima was puzzled, why this guy was so sure, and he secretly pinched a cold sweat for him, "Why?" ”

"The ancients were very vicious, they were all psychologists! It's a shame that we can't read these words, otherwise we'll fall deeper. If it were you, would you lock the door and hang the key by the door? Figured this out, everything is clear. Zhu Beichen said proudly.

Everyone had a look of waking up from a dream, and they secretly said that it was dangerous.

The ancients really figured out the hearts of the people, and if you follow the steps of the couplet, you will step into a dangerous place from which you will never recover.

Conversely, the presence of couplets can also disrupt the game-breaker's thinking and interfere with the correct mode of thinking.

The fat man still reluctantly asked, "What if there are multiple solutions to a problem?" ”

Zhu Beichen cursed in his heart when he heard this: "Your sister, it's to the point." If it's so commonsense, how do you want me to go on when you say that? ”
