Chapter Ninety-One: The Labyrinth of Ancient Trees

"No, Kong Sanye, what's wrong, there's a problem?" Kong Sanye's words made my heart chuckle, but I was sure that there was really nothing wrong with what I painted, it was just ugly.

"It's a bit of a discovery, but it's not sure yet, and we'll have to go a little further." Kong Sanye folded a few pieces of paper in his hand together and did not return them to me.

"Kong Laosan, what did you find?" When the archaeologist heard the conversation between me and Kong Sanye, he also leaned over and asked Kong Sanye with a curious expression.

Kong Sanye didn't answer, but just like what he told me just now, it would take a while to be sure. Although that is the case, I know that Kong Sanye must have the bottom in his heart, and he just wants to verify it more.

After a short pause, we started to move on to the next goal, the same direction as before, but this time the road was much more difficult, and many walls collapsed, blocking the way. We have to walk cautiously forward in the rocky beach.

What I'm most worried about at this time is that Kong Sanye will lead us to a dead end again. It's not easy to climb the wall here, the wall doesn't seem to explain, and the finger-wide crack is clearly visible.

Fortunately, this time it went well, and it took less than half an hour to reach the place where the target was. This time, the target was not an ancient tree, but the tree was relatively large, and the branches and foliage were not very dense, which also provided convenience for me.

I couldn't climb the wall here, and I just threw the iron claw on it, and before I could pull it hard, I saw a large stone on the wall being pulled down by me, but fortunately everyone was far away, so I didn't smash it.

Seeing this, I had no choice but to climb a tree. Luckily, the foliage of the tree is not too dense, and when you climb up, you can see the surroundings clearly. When I climbed to the height of the wall, I began to pick up pen and paper to draw.

I can also ride and draw on the wall, which is not too tiring, but on this tree, it is not so convenient, I have to hold the trunk tightly between my legs, hold the paper in one arm, and draw on the paper with the other arm around the trunk.

At first, the first one was relatively easy to draw, but the next few photos were too much of a test of physical strength. To draw a few other directions on that tree, you have to turn on the spot. I finally drew four pictures on it, and I had exhausted my physical strength, and after I came down, I threw the drawings to Kong Sanye, and my arm had no strength, so I sat directly on the ground.

Kong Sanye and the archaeological experts didn't know what to discuss over there, and there seemed to be some arguments, but I didn't have the heart to care about it now, and my arms and legs hurt a little.

"Brother Qiang, let's have a drink." Xiao Wu saw me sitting there alone against the wall, walked up to me from Kong Sanye and them, took out a bottle of water from my backpack, and handed it to me.

I said "thank you", and with that weak hand, it took a lot of effort to open the lid of the water bottle, and then poured it violently. Xiao Wu also sat down next to me, looking at the two people who were arguing with the paper on the ground.

"Brother Qiang, I think Kong Sanye is more like a teacher than a teacher, and the teacher admires him in many ways." Xiao Wu actually took the initiative to talk to me, which surprised me a little, remembering his embarrassment when we first met yesterday, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hearing my laughter, Xiao Wu turned to look at me with a puzzled face. I didn't explain, but joked with him directly: "Then do you want to worship Kong Sanye as a teacher, and also be a local mouse, if you are embarrassed, I can introduce you." ”

I said it in one sentence, so that Xiao Wu didn't know what to say at all. Fortunately, Kong Sanye over there had already beckoned us to come over, which relieved his siege.

When Xiao Wu and I walked to Kong Sanye and them, I saw that Kong Sanye had laid out all the pictures I had drawn, pointed to those pictures and asked me: "Qiangzi, these pictures were drawn by you, I don't know if the direction I put is correct, you can take a look." ”

The orientation of these diagrams is familiar, and of course I am the most familiar with it. Looking at Kong Sanye on the ground, I didn't know what he was going to do, I took a closer look and found that there was nothing wrong with the orientation of those pictures, and nodded lightly at Kong Sanye, and then looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to say something.

Just when he was in front, Kong Sanye had already seen something, and now it is the verification of several pictures, it seems that he has really discovered some rules, I hope it can help us.

"Old stubborn, will you come or me?" Kong Sanye looked at the archaeologist next to him, and it seemed that Kong Sanye wanted him to talk.

"Let's talk about it, this is what you discovered, and you say it more well." The archaeologists pushed the matter back to Kong Sanye. This time, Kong Sanye stopped talking nonsense and explained directly to me and Xiao Wu.

The building here is artificially built, as for what era and who built it, Kong Sanye did not repeat it, but directly said that this building was not a labyrinth at the earliest, but because someone put a formation here, so it became a labyrinth.

Kong Sanye pointed to the map on the ground and said to us: "Formation, it is these ancient trees, you see that on these pictures, all of them have ancient trees, and they are arranged according to the direction of the eight trigrams, Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui." Every time he said a word, Kong Sanye pointed to the ancient tree in one direction on a map, so that we could know what direction it was.

Fortunately, under the influence of my grandfather, I had read a few books such as the Book of Changes, but I also knew some, and Xiao Wu next to him was a little dazed, and the archaeologist who read it shook his head.

"In these pictures, there is only this one formation, I have seen it on the wall over there before, in this labyrinth, there will be a big tree every few rooms, and these big trees will form another formation at random." Kong Sanye picked up a pen and drew on the paper on the ground.

"Third Master Kong, what you mean is that all the trees here are actually part of the formation. After these formations overlapped, the current labyrinthine building was formed? I asked with some curiosity towards Kong Sanye.

Kong Sanye glanced at me approvingly, and continued: "That's right, it must be like this, and only in this way can we not get out of the maze no matter how we go." ”

"So, Third Master Kong, how should we get out now?" What kind of formation maze or the like, it's just something else, and the most important thing at the moment is to get out of this broken place quickly.

The archaeologist saw that Kong Sanye didn't speak, so he said: "Even if this is the case, it is not easy to break this formation, we don't know where we are now, if we break it one by one, who knows how many there are here, it is estimated that it will not be able to be broken in the next life." ”

As soon as I heard it, I felt that what the archaeologists said made sense, according to Kong Sanye, as long as there is a tree in the room of this labyrinth building, it is a formation, and even a tree may support several formations.

"Old stubborn, you can't use your brains, if you follow your method, we have to die here." Hearing Kong Sanye say this, I knew that he already had a way, and the three of us looked at him in unison.

Kong Sanye drew a circle on the map on the ground, pointed there, and said to us: "Here, this is where the formation eye of this formation next to us is located, and it may also be the formation base of several formations nearby. As long as this place is destroyed, then there will be a large paralysis in the entire formation. Plus all the formations here are basically the same, do you know what to do? ”

I listened to it in a fog, but the archaeologist understood, and said excitedly: "In this case, as long as you destroy a few formations, then a road can be revealed nearby." If you find the next formation, you can open a way. If we're lucky, three or four times, we'll be able to get out. ”

Although I didn't understand what the two of them were talking about, when I heard that I could go out, my eyes began to light up, and Xiao Wu next to me also had the same expression as me.

Kong Sanye didn't continue to talk about it, anyway, we can't understand it if we continue to talk about it, as long as we know that there is a way to get out, we are enough. Looking at the sky, it was about ten o'clock in the morning, and a few of us began to eat something here to replenish our energy, and then it was time to go out.

After eating and drinking, everyone sorted out their luggage and began to walk towards the array that Kong Sanye drew on the paper, naturally Kong Sanye and the archaeologist took the lead, and Xiao Wu and I took the tail.

It was still a tree, but it wasn't very big, but judging from the bark of the tree, it was even older than the old trees.

"Hadron, destroy this tree, no matter what method you use." After seeing the tree, Kong Sanye turned around and commanded me.

Xiao Wu and I stood in front of the ancient tree and looked at it, cutting this tree was almost my first reaction, but as soon as I picked up the knife and cut it on the tree, it immediately bounced back, and there was a gap on the short knife. It seems that if you want to cut down this ancient tree, you have to ask for Kong Sanye's dragon pattern knife.

But since Kong Sanye saw these two people, he put away the dragon pattern knife tightly, and it was almost impossible to borrow his dragon pattern knife to use it.

Since it can't be cut, then another way is used. I instructed Xiao Wu to join me in picking up a lot of dry firewood nearby and piling it under the tree. When he saw that it was almost time, he went down to the fire and burned dry wood. The dry wood burned more and more, and eventually the tree was set on fire.

When it burned for about thirty or forty minutes, there was a loud bang, and the tree fell in our direction without warning.
