Chapter 708: The reason why the jade seal was smoothed
"Dragon Qi!" Seeing the golden dragon qi faintly flowing in this section of the dragon body carving, Chen Ziyang was stunned.
When he was watching the dragons kowtowing to the treasure cave outside, Chen Ziyang looked at all four mountain ranges, but he didn't even see a little dragon energy. At that time, he was still thinking that maybe Zhang Linfu's desire to use the dragon qi here to arrange the Tiangang Bafang Great Array was about to be shattered.
But he didn't expect to see the dragon qi in this section of the dragon body carving. Although the dragon energy flowing in the sculpture is not strong and very light, it is also flowing after all.
"Is this really weird?" I didn't see the dragon qi when I was on the ground before, Chen Ziyang didn't think it was strange, after all, the Qing Dynasty has been extinct for so long, and it is understandable that there is no dragon qi in their dragon veins, but why is the dragon qi still continuing, but the Qing Dynasty has already perished early?
After taking out the compass and calculating the direction, Chen Ziyang knew that this section of stone carvings similar to the shape of a dragon's body should extend from one of the mountain ranges that formed the dragon's bow cave.
It seems that this section of the dragon's body-like carving is a device to attract dragon qi, and judging from the style of the city wall observed before, the entire treasure dungeon should be a square-like shape, located in the center of the four mountain ranges.
There is a great possibility that such a dragon body carving is not just this one, but should be four, which extend out under the four mountain ranges and reach into the underground palace, the purpose is to gather the dragon qi at the hole eye, so as to infuse it into the center of the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty.
This is the reason why you can't see the dragon qi when you look at the four mountain ranges from above the ground, that is because the dragon qi in the mountains has been attracted here by these devices, and it is locked in the dungeon and has not leaked out.
"There must have been some kind of change in the dragon veins of the Great Qing Dynasty." At the same time as seeing the flowing dragon qi, Chen Ziyang had such an idea in his heart.
This treasure dungeon is very intact and has not collapsed, so that is to say, the core of the Great Qing Dragon Vein that is protected inside is also intact and has not been destroyed, and the dragon qi is still converging inside. Such a dragon vein can definitely bless a dynasty for hundreds of years.
However, the lifespan of the Qing Dynasty is only more than 200 years, so thinking about it, there must be something wrong with the dragon veins here. However, Chen Ziyang didn't care about this matter, what he was thinking about was the problem that caused other people to have a headache, that is, where to go.
As soon as they entered the back of the steel gate, the people did not see the situation in front of them clearly, thinking that a city wall was blocking in front of them, but now several people had looked at the places they could see, and found that it was not that there was no way to go, but that there was more than one way to go.
The tall walls stood in front of the crowd, and the walls that could be seen by those in the group appeared with three alleys. The three alleys are nearly four meters wide, and the two sides of the alleys are also exactly the same walls as the outside, which is very easy to ignore at first glance, thinking that the walls on both sides of the alley are connected, a whole wall, which is why the people in the previous team did not see these three alleys.
And that's just as far as everyone can see, and farther away, beyond the range of everyone's flashlight beams, there is a long dark area, and maybe there are alleys like this, maybe there are quite a few.
"Labyrinth! It's a labyrinth! After staring at the wall-like wall in front of him for a long time, Chen Benzhong said loudly.
"Labyrinth?" The others lowered their heads and thought for a while, feeling that what Chen Benzhong said was very practical. The entire Dragon Vein Dungeon is like a huge sealed room, and the city walls in this room divide this huge room into many passages, and the scene in front of it is indeed very similar to those labyrinths in the playground.
"Hey! Isn't it a maze, what's all the fuss about, can't stop us, I'll teach you a trick, if you want to get out of the maze, it's actually very simple, that is, keep walking on the right, or keep walking on the left, you will definitely be able to get to the exit of the maze. Yang Leiting raised his chest, put on an invincible expression, and said to the others.
"Cut ......" After listening to Yang Lei's words, the rest of the team disdained what he said about experience.
"What? You still don't believe it? I'll tell you, how many labyrinths I've come out of this way, don't believe me, I ......."
"Alright, Leizi, don't be ashamed." Before Yang Lei's words were finished, Chen Ziyang whispered in his ear.
If someone else spoke out to stop him, Yang Lei would definitely have to argue with him, but the person who said this was Chen Ziyang, so he was embarrassed to continue. Yang Lei walked to Chen Ziyang's side and asked in a low voice, "Am I not right?" ”
"You're right, but you're ignoring the fact that the way you said is the way to get out of the maze, not the way to get to the center of the maze.
If we follow your method, we may indeed get out of this labyrinth, maybe there are other exits to this labyrinth, but this is not our purpose, our main purpose is to go to the center of this labyrinth, that is, to reach the place where the dragons kowtow to the treasure cave.
If you really follow your way, we may walk out from the other exits of this dungeon, and stagger the center of the entire maze, it is not difficult to do this, you only need to design the route of the maze a little, so the method you said does not apply here.
It's like a maze in the shape of a 'hui', if you really keep walking to the right, you can't get close to the central 'kou' character at all, and you will only go around the outside. ”
After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, after thinking about it for a long time, Yang Lei reacted.
"Godfather, what now? Do you divide your troops to investigate? Looking at the three forks in the road in front of him, Liu Cong asked Chen Benzhong.
"It is absolutely impossible to divide the troops, our number is relatively small, and there are probably more than these three forks in the road here, even if it is only these three, if we continue to move forward, we may encounter more forks in the road.
Dividing the troops is the next policy, after not going far, the number of people in our team will be less than the number of forks in the road, at that time we will all become alone, if we encounter danger, there is no way to take care of each other.
For today's plan, the only way to choose a way to keep moving forward is to explore little by little. I really didn't expect that there would be such a big trouble after entering the dungeon, and the designer of this dungeon is really not simple.
There are so many forks in the road, maybe only one road is correct and safe, and the other forks are likely to be arranged with heavy mechanisms, although the area of this underground palace is limited, but this section of the road is enough for us to drink a pot. Chen Benzhong clenched his fists, pounded his forehead, and said very cautiously.
"Okay, cheer up, be more careful when moving forward, put all the tricks on, if you encounter some special things, or some special patterns, maybe those things are left behind about the hints of the dungeon."
"Hint? Will there be a hint to stay here? Wouldn't that make sense in that way? Liu Cong didn't understand what Chen Benzhong meant, and asked very strangely.
"Hmph, there must be a hint about the way to move the maze, but it may not be in the maze, I just say this to remind you.
If you think about it carefully, the purpose of this dungeon is to protect the dragon veins and store a large number of treasures, and these treasures are likely to be taken out if they are placed here, but the time of taking out the treasures is uncertain.
Maybe it's a year, maybe it's ten years, maybe it's hundreds of years before the treasures in the dungeon can be taken out, and by that time, the people who probably know how to walk this labyrinth are already dead.
Therefore, the people who built this maze back then will definitely leave the way of walking the maze, and this thing may be recorded in something else, or it may be recorded in the maze, through one special sign after another, or some other patterns to prompt the people who walk the maze.
However, these clues may be very hidden, and only by knowing the specific content of the hint and the meaning of the hint can people who come here later make it possible to reach the center of the labyrinth. ”
After listening to Chen Benzhong's analysis, Liu Cong nodded, and the team members under him also understood.
"Labyrinth? Prompt? I understand......" Chen Benzhong's words also prompted Chen Ziyang. After only a few seconds, Chen Ziyang already knew where the hint of this maze was hidden, but unfortunately, this hint was likely to have disappeared forever.
The hint of the maze move should be hidden in the jade seal, and the side of the jade seal with the pattern engraved before has been smoothed, that is, the hint of the maze move has been destroyed.
The basis of speculation is very simple, the man who died in front of the steel gate carefully kept the huge pearl and jade seal in the box, these two things are extremely precious and have special significance, but on the other hand, maybe the value of these two things is not only the value of itself.
Take that huge pearl as an example, in addition to its own great value, that pearl is also the key to open the door of steel, in this case, the jade seal should also have its use.
That jade seal is boxy, and this labyrinth is basically a square shape, similar to the cross-sectional shape of the jade seal, and it is very likely that what is engraved below the jade seal is not a seal, but the way this maze walks.
This is why the deceased man had to smooth out the side of the thing carved under the jade seal before he died. In order to prevent someone from entering here by mistake, after getting the jade seal, he arrived at the center of the dragon vein with the help of the pattern on the jade seal.
I don't know what the reason is, this person chose to commit suicide here, he didn't take the pearl and jade seal outside and give it to others. And this person thought of it before he died, and perhaps later people might test the usefulness of these two things.
However, he was reluctant to destroy these two treasures of special significance, so he retreated to the next best thing, and rubbed off the things carved by the jade seal, so that he would not destroy the two things, and at the same time the relevant hints were removed, and the people who came here later did not know how to move at all.
Although Chen Ziyang thought of this, he didn't say it, even if he said it, it wouldn't help everyone, and the most important thing now is to be vigilant and carefully deal with the possible traps in the maze.
Just when Chen Ziyang was thinking about these things, Chen Benzhong took out his compass, pointed to a passage and said: "Judging from the direction, the current direction of this passage should be pointing to the center of the labyrinth, and the surroundings have already been checked, and there is no hint, let's start from this passage first." ”
Soon, the people in the team gathered together and walked forward along this passage, while Chen Ziyang asked Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai to be closer to him, in case something happened, the three of them should take care of each other, after all, if there is really a dangerous situation, the most reliable are the other two people.
This labyrinth is very large. When walking along the outside of the dungeon before, everyone walked a distance of nearly five kilometers before they saw the steel gate, if this gate was placed in the center of the city wall, that is to say, this dragon vein dungeon was a square with a side length of ten kilometers.
In such a large range, there may be countless forks in the road, and it is not possible to complete it in a short time, so the people in the team are ready to fight for a long time, and they do not pursue speed when they move forward, but seek stability.
Sure enough, just after the team advanced two or three hundred meters, a fork in the road appeared, which just confirmed Chen Benzhong's previous guess that the overall structure of this labyrinth should be extremely complex, one fork in the road after another, and the most critical point, these points may still be connected to each other.
Coupled with the fact that the walls on both sides of the labyrinth passage are featureless and look exactly the same, it is very likely that those who walk here will get lost, and after a few forks in the road, everyone may not remember where they have walked and where they have not walked.
Therefore, when advancing, Liu Cong ordered the last member of the team to mark the ground and draw a line with sharp objects, so that as long as there is a path with such scratches, the team has already walked, and this can at least avoid taking a duplicate path.
Fortunately, there are no magnets or anything like that in this underground labyrinth, and the compass can still be used normally, which makes the people in the team feel a lot more relieved. As long as the compass can be used, the team will have a general direction when they move forward, so that they will not be too wrong, and they will not get lost in this dungeon.
