Chapter 184: Qimen Dunjia
Although Umbrella Shishuai didn't understand why Chen Ziyang suddenly became so ruthless, but according to his understanding of Chen Ziyang, he knew that the reason why Chen Ziyang did this must have his own deep meaning, so he didn't say anything, not to mention that this plan is also more suitable at present, although it lacks a trace of human touch, but it is full of rationality.
In fact, Umbrella Shishuai's guess was not wrong, the reason why Chen Ziyang had to use the soldier's corpse was because this corpse was indeed more suitable, and partly because he wanted to see if this corpse had the same tattoo on Xiao Na's arm.
Since Wang Lele was hit by the ghost and fell to the head, Chen Ziyang has been thinking about Xiao Na, and his only impression of Xiao Na is the tattoo of the dragon head pattern tattooed on Xiao Na's arm that was pierced by a shovel through the skull.
This tattoo has a hideous face and a strange appearance, so Chen Ziyang thinks that this may not be a random tattoo, no one will tattoo such an ugly thing on the body, but it may be the symbol of Xiao Na's organization.
It just so happened that there was such an opportunity for him to verify it, so he wanted to see if this was the case. If this is the case, it is better to stay away from people with such tattoos in the future, and don't fall for them again.
Because the team is trapped in this dungeon, all the resources are very precious and cannot be replenished by the outside world at all, so if you want to use this corpse as bait, then Xiao Na will definitely ask the people under her to unload all the equipment on this soldier's body, even his clothes.
Just as Chen Ziyang guessed, Xiao Na ordered the two team members to take off the things on the soldier's body, and also took off his outermost warm suit, at this time, Chen Ziyang saw that the soldier's chest showed half of the pattern, this pattern he had already memorized in his heart, and he would never admit it, and officially half of the tattoo pattern was exactly the same as Xiao Na's arm.
It seems that his guess is correct, so if you see this sign in the future, you will quickly slip away, Chen Ziyang thought in his heart. I don't know what kind of organization it is, why it uses such an ugly tattoo as a symbol.
Xiao Na's team carried two simple stretchers, which were simply composed of six steel pipes and a piece of canvas. When disassembled, it doesn't take up space at all, and when combined, it forms a movable stretcher.
Four of the steel pipes had four wheels at the bottom that allowed the stretcher to be pushed on the ground, and Shawna had the soldier's body tied to such an improvised stretcher. At the same time, a flashlight was tied to the soldier's body, so that the flashlight was always on, and the flashlight was directed in the direction of the team, so that everyone could observe, and at the same time, a long rope was tied to the back of the stretcher for easy dragging.
After everything was ready, Chen Ziyang pushed the stretcher forward along the passage. After waiting for a few minutes and seeing that nothing had changed, the team moved forward and continued to push the stretcher forward.
In this dark passage, the flashlight on the stretcher is particularly conspicuous, as long as the beam changes slightly, the person standing behind can see it clearly. It wasn't until the flashlight shook suddenly that everyone became nervous, because they had finally found the first boundary of this transformation channel.
Seeing that his method was effective, Chen Ziyang put his mind at ease, and then quietly observed the changes in the channel, and recorded the conversion time and conversion method of the channel in detail, and made marks on each converted channel. In this way, by the time the team returned to the mountain space full of bats, a full day and a night had passed.
Over the course of one day and one night, the stretcher triggered a total of three traps. But because of the distance, none of these organs did any harm to everyone. At the same time, every time the stretcher shook, Chen Ziyang would quickly pull the stretcher back to prevent it from rotating with the passage to other places.
Starting from the passage that everyone set out from that would not change, until in this mountain space, as Chen Ziyang expected, they passed through two passages that would change. One of them is a cross-shaped four-way channel, while the other is a bagua-shaped eight-channel concatenation, and the rotation time of the two channels is also different.
After several calculations, everyone finally returned to the mountain space where they had first entered. Ignoring the principle of these channel shifts, the team's primary goal now is to find a place to get out.
Previously, Chen Ziyang estimated that since a large number of bats can gather here, then these mountains must have an outlet for these bats to go out to find food, otherwise, so such a large number of bats would have starved to death, so in this mountain space, or near this mountain space, there must be a passage out.
Although the purpose of Xiao Na's team's trip is to unearth the treasures in the Bohai Palace, at least they must ensure that everyone in the team is alive, and if they die in the treasure pile, these treasures will have no meaning to the dead.
Therefore, the primary goal now is to find a way to retreat, so that you can find the treasure with peace of mind, and even if you can't find the treasure, you can retreat with your whole body, so that you will have a chance to come back and complete the mission.
This time, in this mountain space, everyone did not dare to use flash grenades recklessly, but carefully searched for the ground around this mountain space. Because of the ample preparation this time, everyone found that the ground in this mountain space can indeed rotate, but the speed of rotation is not very fast.
Before, because the people of the team were attacked by a swarm of bats, no one noticed the rotating ground, and when the ground rotated in a circle, Chen Ziyang's sketch had already been drawn, just as he thought, there were eight passages in the entire mountain space, which were located in the eight directions of the eight trigrams.
Qimen Dunjia, it shouldn't be so simple, right? Chen Ziyang thought. Qimen Dunjia is divided into open doors, rest doors, birth doors, wounded doors, Du doors, Jingmen, surprise doors and death doors, the original meaning of Qimen Dunjia put into a formation, the birth door is the exit, the death door is equipped with a mechanism, and the other six doors go out, it is a new Qimen Dunjia.
But this kind of formation doesn't work here. While Chen Ziyang was studying, Xiao Na had already led the people to find the passage more than thirty meters long when they first entered, and at the end of the passage was the huge bronze door that was closed deadly.
Although she returned to the starting point again, Xiao Na's heart was extremely happy. After all, he was not lost in this strange dungeon, if it were not for Chen Ziyang's whims and practice, just the rotating passage of these three floors would have trapped everyone in it and starved to death.
"How? Comrade Wang Dawei, if you don't go up and catch a bat to satisfy your hunger, otherwise our dinner may not be enough for you, and you still have to supplement some protein. Seeing that Chen Ziyang was studying the way forward, Yang Lei began to tease Wang Dawei, and the scene where Wang Dawei ate bat meat and disgusted Chen Ziyang really made him angry.
Wang Dawei, who was following Yang Lei to do the marking system in the nearby passage, ignored Yang Lei, but focused on the work at hand. There is too much bat droppings on the ground in this space, but fortunately, the area on the ground is relatively large, and the edges of it are not covered with bat droppings.
At the same time, because this mechanism has been activated for a long time, when the ground rotates, all the debris accumulated at the junction has been turned away, and a clear circular square boundary is exposed to the ground. Xiao Na's team members are marking all eight passages around the edge of the square, so as not to lose their way when they encounter the ground spinning again.
Chen Ziyang was studying with Xiao Na, and he told Xiao Na about Qimen Dunjia. Although Xiao Na doesn't know Feng Shui, she still understands such a popular knowledge of Qimen Dunjia. Chen Ziyang had already used the compass to determine that the direction of the gate to enter was exactly the location of the Shengmen, so which of the other eight passages should be taken?
According to common sense, if Qimen Dunjia wants to go out, he must take the direction of Shengmen, but the direction where Shengmen is located is precisely the entrance of the underground palace, which means that there should be a correct route in the other passages, and there is only one possible way. Of the other six, it's either the kind of rotating channel, or the traps and stuff.
For safety reasons, Xiao Na did not let the team members enter the other seven passages for inspection. In addition to the passage that the team members entered before, there are still six passages that have not been walked, and it can even be said that even if it is the passage that they entered before, because there are two layers of rotating passages in it, it can also be said that it extends in all directions, and there are several ways to walk.
So Chen Ziyang is also confused now. Cracking this kind of mechanism has nothing to do with the dragon point.,The correct way to move is completely set according to the preferences of the people who designed the mechanism.,There's no basis for this.。
The stupidest method that Chen Ziyang could think of was to walk through each passage once, and then draw a detailed map of the entire dungeon, even including the connection of all the rotating passages. Although this method is stupid, it is the solution that cannot be solved now.
However, this method took too long, and the food carried by the team may not last until that time, even if you really eat bat meat like Wang Dawei, you can persist until the map of the entire underground palace is drawn, and the mechanism in the passage will also kill these people.
The previous crossbow bolt mechanism had already scared everyone into a cold sweat, and if it weren't for Hu Bo's wit, everyone would have been there. There's also the kind of smoke and dust mechanism before, and I don't know if that kind of smoke and dust is harmful to the human body, but it's not a good thing to think about. If it hadn't happened that the smoke and dust had been turned into a spin in the passage and turned somewhere else, these people might have been tricked.
Xiao Na has been cheering him up by Chen Ziyang's side, and although these encouragements have given Chen Ziyang a lot of confidence, they have also caused him some trouble. Wang Dawei is now seeing that several of them are becoming more and more unpleasant, and he is jealous, and he is trying to find trouble with a few people. In Yang Lei's words, Wang Dawei can now smell the sour smell on him from afar.
In fact, Chen Ziyang really wanted Xiao Na to arrange for someone to remove all these bat droppings on the ground, so as to see if there were some gossip patterns and other things left on the ground in this mountain space that could indicate the direction of progress.
Because according to his estimates, since this underground palace is a hidden treasure, it will definitely leave some clues about the direction of progress for the later treasure hunters, although in the eyes of outsiders, these clues may not be useful, but after understanding the structure of this mechanism, judge it, and can also get some hints from these clues.
However, Chen Ziyang also knew that his idea was pure, more than a meter thick bat feces were spread all over the square, and it was not an overnight thing to get rid of, and after countless years of accumulation, these bat powder were pressed one by one, and the hardness of the layer next to the ground was even about to catch up with the stone, this method he could only think about, but it was impossible to achieve.
After studying for a long time, after dinner, Yang Lei came to Chen Ziyang's side and said, "Er Yang, are you okay?" Don't embarrass a few of us, where are all your Maoshan Master skills? ”
That's right, Maoshan Land Division! An idea popped up in Chen Ziyang's heart, empathy! Isn't it Feng Shui, although I can't find the right way forward now, but from the perspective of the builder, maybe there will be a breakthrough.
So Chen Ziyang imagined himself as the builder of this underground palace, and carefully recalled that the various designs of the mechanisms in the passage were to confuse others. The ground that will quietly rotate without knowing when, as well as the rotating passages, are nothing more than making people lose their direction. In other words, the correct way to move the channel must be related to the direction.
There is no way to go to the door of life, and the most unlikely way to go is the door of death, which is one of the most basic laws of Qimen Dunjia. However, this is a treasure hidden in the underground palace, in order to hide, and do not want the person who strays into it to find the right direction, then the most unlikely way forward may be the right direction.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang patted his thigh and said to Xiao Na: "Death, let's go from death." ”
After explaining her thoughts to Xiao Na, Xiao Na also nodded and agreed, anyway, it is not a way to go on like this, just use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, the big deal is to return to the original point and start again, go through each passage one by one, if you can't do it, you can live by eating bat meat, the good news is that bat meat is available.
In the worst-case scenario, Xiao Na also considered that even if the mountain was exhausted, she could use the flashbang to wake up the bats overhead again, and then look for the cracks in the mountain through their flight direction, and then find the exit.
