Chapter 469: Intuition
"It seems that this river is a test of our observation." Looking at the ice submerged in the water, Lao Gu smacked his tongue vigorously. Ice is less dense than water, and under normal circumstances, ice would float on the surface of the water and expose about a tenth of the surface of the water, but we watched it sink. "Xiao Shen, go see if the door we come in can be opened, and bring some metal weapons."
"Yes." I answered, stood up and was about to walk over, but I saw that the big man had already run over with a smoke, and in the sound of "rumble", he dragged the stone door open, and then, he ran in with a large pile of weapons and placed them beside us. I can't see that this guy is full of work.
I picked a random all-metal spear and threw it into the river, and with a "poof", the spear pierced through the water, sank some distance under the action of inertia, and then bounced out of the water like a plastic block forced into the water, and slowly floated downstream on the surface of the river.
After determining that the law of the river was the opposite of the ordinary water, the matter was much simpler, so we found four large shields, put them together in the shape of a boat, tied them together with ropes, and then still not at ease, tied all kinds of heavy weapons to this shield boat. The shield boat entered the water, and sure enough, it did not sink, so Jing'er, who had a rope tied to her waist, jumped down first, and after making sure that it was okay, Lao Gu and I also jumped down one after another.
As for the big man, instead of letting it follow, we left him a bottle of water and a few compressed biscuits and asked him to wait for us here. After all, this big man is so deferential now because of his fear of the hook halberd in my hand, or the fear of Ran Tianwang, once we fall into any danger, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not fall into the well. However, Jing'er seems to have a very good impression of the big man, when the shield boat left the shore, she turned around and threw a piece of chocolate to the big man, and made a "eat" action, does the little girl prefer this burly type?
This river is really magical, the three of us have a lot of equipment, if we get an ordinary boat, we have to worry about sinking, if we don't build a ship, we have to leave a person there to see the equipment, it is basically impossible to swim across the river with the equipment on our backs, now to the good, the heavier, the more the boat floats up is really inadvertently a great help to us.
On the surface of the river, Jing'er kept asking Lao Gu what was the reason for this phenomenon, and Lao Gu could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, although there would be all kinds of strange things in the ancient tomb, but this phenomenon that broke our common sense of physics, he couldn't explain it. It can only be said that the wisdom of the ancients is sometimes not comparable to modern people.
Paddled with two small shields as oars, we soon reached the other side of the river. I carved a few holes in the wall with a hooked halberd, inserted a few weapons into it, secured the shield boat with a rope, and went ashore.
This tomb road seems to be relatively clean, and Lao Gu used a short spear to knock in front of him as he walked, but there were no mechanisms along the way. Soon, we entered another stone room. This stone chamber looked the same as the previous one, and the door we entered was facing another stone door.
As we stepped into the chamber, the door closed again, and darkness plunged all around. It was so weirdly dark, the light of the wolf's eye flashlight didn't seem to hit anywhere outside of the bulb itself, and even the fireball I threw could only see the flame itself, and I couldn't see anything illuminated.
"Jing'er, Lao Gu, don't panic, follow me. I gave a low command, but no one answered me in the darkness. No, it's not that no one answered me, it's that my voice didn't come out at all! In such an empty stone room, there should be an echo of speech, but I didn't hear any echo, is it that the sound is cut off like optical fiber? I stretched out my hand and swiped in front of and behind me for a long time, but I didn't touch Lao Gu and Jing'er, is it not only the light and sound that are cut off, but even the place where we are is cut off? Those two people were clearly within my reach. I lifted my foot and tried to walk around to feel if the two of them were there, but as soon as I lifted my foot, I put it down again.
I've just entered this chamber now, and I still have an impression of what I've seen, and if I move around, I'll lose my sense of direction completely. It's okay to touch the walls...... Wait, what about the walls! I swept the halberd behind me, but I didn't feel the feeling of the halberd touching the wall. I've just walked in the door, and it's not far from the wall behind me.
What's going on!? Calm down, calm down, be sure to calm down. Lao Gu said that these are all tests that we have experienced, first it is qualification, then piety, force, and then observation, so what is the test now? What is the test in a strange environment where there is no light at all, and even the sense of hearing is useless? Is it a sense of direction? And, what is this quirky space? The wall behind me is gone, can I think that I am no longer at the doorway I was at the beginning?
Yes, it must be like this, from the moment we stepped into this stone room, the stone door closed, and the surroundings fell into darkness, we have already arrived in another dimension, or in some illusion, and if we want to leave here, we must find a way to get out of this space or illusion.
If it's a fantasy, it's much easier for me. "Heaven and earth are natural, the filth is scattered, the cave is void, Huang Lang Taiyuan, the eight directions are mighty, so that I am natural, the Lingbao talisman, the nine heavens, Gan Luo Tana, the cave gang Taixuan, the demon binding the evil, killing the ghosts, the Zhongshan God Mantra, the beginning of the jade text, recite it again, but the evil prolongs the year, according to the line of the five mountains, the eight seas know, the demon king binds the head, guards my Xuan, the ferocity dissipates, and the Tao lasts forever. Haste as a law! Chi! "After the Pure Heaven and Earth Divine Curse, the darkness around me did not change in any way. Is it not effective enough?
"The realm is born from the heart, and the devil is broken from the heart! Duh! "After the Demon Breaking Pure Land Curse, the darkness around him still hasn't subsided. Isn't it a magic illusion? Or is my mana not enough to break through this illusion?
"Cousin...... Professor Ku...... Where are you......" Faintly, I seemed to hear Jing'er's voice coming from all directions.
"Jing'er, where are you?" I asked out loud, but my voice still couldn't seem to get out. What should I do? Do you want to walk around? No, no, you can't be like a fly without a head. Jing'er's voice can be heard, most likely because she has escaped from this dark illusion. But without Lao Gu's voice, Lao Gu should still be trapped like me.
"Cousin...... Professor Ku...... Can you hear me? You guys...... Just walk towards the door...... That's it......" Jing'er's voice was still ethereal, but it showed me the way.
The biggest difference between Jing'er and our two men is not the gender, but her eyes. Jing'er is born with yin and yang eyes, and it is impossible for ordinary illusions, blind eyes, and the like to trap her, she must have found her way out of this stone room after discovering that we were missing, and then she could guide us there.
So, just follow what Jing'er said, keep moving forward, in the direction of the door. One step, one step at a time. I am constantly adjusting the direction of my progress while walking, when people walk with their eyes closed, they think they are walking in a straight line, but in fact, most of them will deviate to the left, which is the so-called scientific explanation that the blind man first talked about when he explained to me when he hit the wall. It's just to keep correcting the angle, or to calculate the distance from the beginning, and then deflect it a certain angle to the right before walking.
One step, two steps, three steps, when I was about to take the thirty-seventh step, a strong sense of danger rose from my heart, and I hurriedly withdrew my foot, that is, at the moment of retracting my foot, the flashlight appeared in my field of vision.
It turned out that I had already walked out of the stone chamber, and in front of me was a large pit that had almost cut off the tomb passage, more than two meters long, and under the pit, all of them were sharp knives pointing up to the sky. I'm standing on the edge of the knife pit, and if I don't retract my foot at that step, I'll have fallen into the knife pit to make dumpling filling.
"Cousin, you're so good, you're the last one to come out, tsk." Jing'er's voice came from the right, and when I looked sideways, she and Lao Gu were sitting on the edge of the pit, looking at me with interest. Isn't it, Lao Gudu came out earlier than me?
"I said Jing'er, you are murdering your brother, since you told me to go straight forward, why didn't you tell me there was a knife pit in front of me." The corners of my mouth twitched, this girl, can't she be sincerely waiting to see me make a fool of myself.
"I said it, why didn't I say it, but you didn't hear it inside, Professor Gu and I have been talking here for a while, and you didn't hear it, but Professor Gu also complained to me about this after he came out, there should be something doing something." Jing'er pursed her lips full of grievances.
"Okay......" I have to say, these things made by the ancients, alas, are too incredible, I used to think that walking around the tomb would be like the tomb of Luckdetai, and it would be OK to fight a few games, but now it seems that the real ancient tomb is not like that at all.
"In this level, the test should be perception, not only the intuition of finding the way, but also the intuition of danger after coming out. Fortunately, Xiao Shen, you have passed. Lao Gu sat on the ground and said with a smile.
"Uh, but old Gu, why did you come out earlier than me?" I didn't ask the second half of the sentence "Why didn't you fall in", alas, I thought I was the strongest, but it turned out that I was the last one to come out under Jing'er's reminder, tangled.
"Oh, you said that, we are inverted, the sense of direction is professionally trained, as for why I didn't fall into the pit, it's because in order to avoid the danger caused by the terrain, I crawled out, and I will only exert force when my hands are pressed, a knife pit, of course I can't pit me."
Well, you guys won......
