Chapter 62: The Secret of the Passage
At this time, after Yang Lei saw clearly that the black shadow in front of him was just a passage, his nervous mood eased, and he also felt very embarrassed, and said to Umbrella Shishuai: "Old umbrella, I'm sorry, I felt a gust of wind just now, and when I looked back and saw this passage, I thought it was a ghost, I didn't hurt you, I'm really embarrassed." ”
After knowing that Yang Lei didn't mean to target him, Umbrella Shishuai was also very open-minded and didn't take it to heart, both of them were a little nervous and overly nervous by the previous events. Then he asked Chen Ziyang: "Old Chen, this place is too evil, the road taken turned out of thin air, and became longer for no reason, the engraved words disappeared out of thin air, and appeared out of thin air, and now a passage has appeared out of thin air." I don't think it's as good as ...... Let's go out first......"
Seeing that even the umbrella stone handsome, who had been a soldier, retreated, Chen Ziyang calmed down. I took a closer look at the hole that appeared out of thin air. After reading it, Chen Ziyang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized: "I now understand what it means to be a fan of the authorities, and the bystanders are clear." If the two of you hadn't walked separately from me on both sides of the cemetery, maybe the three of us wouldn't have been able to find a reason for being trapped to death by such a simple mechanism. ”
Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai glanced at each other, and they both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes. Then the two looked at Chen Ziyang together.
Under Chen Ziyang's arrangement, the two of them slowly retreated from where Chen Ziyang was. As the two of them retreated, the hole that appeared out of thin air in front of the two people slowly disappeared...... Seeing the scene in front of them, Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of shock in each other's eyes.
The two of them hurriedly walked forward again until they came to a place one or two steps away from Chen Ziyang, and as the perspective of the two people continued to move, the hole suddenly appeared again. "Optical illusion!" Yang Lei shouted in surprise.
"Yes, your two guns were not fired in vain, at least it proves that your guns and bullets can still be used, and more importantly, let me discover this secret. A simple but effective mechanism. Chen Ziyang said with a proud smile.
Seeing this, Umbrella Shishuai also understood, "Old Yang, are you saying that the No. 1 cave entrance that disappeared before also disappeared because of this reason?" So why did our direction change for no reason? There is also the word 2 that disappears. ”
"Those things haven't gone away, and I guess this hole is now the exit to Passage 1."
"What's that? Didn't we go back the way we came in the stone chamber, how did we get out of here? Yang Lei was a little confused.
"Think back to the passage we walked through before. The passage is very narrow, and it is zigzag inside, high and low, right? Before, I thought that the reason why the passage was built like this was because of the relatively large amount of work to build the mausoleum on the mountain, so the craftsmen built the passage along some rock cracks and places that were easier to dig. In retrospect, this was intentional. ”
Seeing that Yang Lei hadn't yet understood, Chen Ziyang continued: "The two sides of the passage we see now are actually not flat, but one stone wall is high and the other stone wall is short, and the high stone wall is a protruding wedge, so that on the side of the high stone wall, you can only see one wall, and you can't see the passage. But from the other side, this passage is very conspicuous. ”
"So I guess the same is true of passages 1 and 2, which can only be seen from the side of the tomb gate, and if you go back from your current position, you should not be able to see it if you don't look back. That's why we didn't see Passage 1 when we walked back the second time. The light in the tomb passage is already very weak, you can't see too far, and the passage is very narrow, even if you look back from time to time, it is likely that you will not notice or not see the passage that appears out of thin air at all. ”
"If it weren't for a breeze blowing in this passage and blowing Yang Lei, we might not have discovered this secret by now. I guess this kind of blinding method is also used in the two stone chambers, in fact, the passage we enter and the passage when we come out are not the same at all. The stone chambers are all round, and it is natural for us to turn around after we go in, and then come out. It's not that the passage has become longer on its own, it's that we're not walking the same path. The exit is not the entrance, so it's no wonder we couldn't find the 2 I carved when we came out. ”
Umbrella Shishuai heard Yang Lei's words, thought about it for a while and said: "I also remembered what you said, I looked back at the five-sided statue when I left in the No. 2 stone room before, and I always felt that something was wrong, but now that I think about it, it seems that the angle of the five-sided statue when we entered the stone room was a little different from when we went out." ”
"Well, I guess the reason why the stone statue was carved on five sides was also deliberate, so that it would not be easy for people to discover the secret of the different angles of the two passages. Even if you find a different angle like you, it's easy to be affected by the five faces and ignore it. The reason why the stone statues are placed in the second stone chamber is to attract the attention of the tomb robbers, to attract their attention, and to prevent them from discovering the secret. If both stone chambers are empty, then we will search the second stone chamber more carefully, and perhaps we will discover the secret of the passage. ”
Umbrella Shishuai nodded, he completely understood what Chen Ziyang meant, but Yang Lei was still confused, and his brain was sweating and he didn't understand. "How do you explain what we turned to?"
"Let's go in through passage 1, into the empty stone chamber, and when we come out, we actually went the wrong way, and we went through a different passage. The passages here are all high and low and turn left and right, so in fact, we came out of the current passageway, entered through the entrance on the left side of the tomb, and then came out from the exit on the right side of the tomb. So the way out of the stone chamber will be a little longer than when we entered, because we have already circled the tomb path under the tombway. This exit is on the left side of the passage, so if you go to the right from here, you will actually be in the direction of the tomb gate. It's not that the passage has long legs, but we have gone wrong. ”
Yang Lei finally understood what Chen Ziyang meant, and he still couldn't believe it. "The three of us are like three fools and let people play with us...... We have to go how people want us to go! ”
"Yes, this person who designed the tomb took into account the vision, light angle and psychology of the stinky man when designing this tomb road. If I hadn't gritted my teeth and persevered, maybe the three of us would have run out in fear after passing through the first two passages. Chen Ziyang said with a sigh.
Umbrella Shishuai and Yang Lei nodded, if Chen Ziyang didn't have to go again, they would indeed have run out of the thief hole a long time ago.
After carving a big X mark at the entrance of the passage, Chen Ziyang said: "Go, go back!" Let's see if I'm right. Without solving this mystery, there is no point in us moving forward. Chen Ziyang regained his confidence and said with confidence in his eyes.
