I scratched my head and said, "Second uncle, can you put it simply?" ”

The second uncle sighed and said: "Actually, what I mean is that the phantom jade chalcedony is a catalyst to induce illusions in our brains, in other words, because what we want most is to go out, so our minds will have the illusion of seeing the exit channel, but if what we want most now is food, maybe there will be an illusion of seeing roast duck, do you understand when I say this?" ”

The three of us nodded, "Second uncle, it's a good thing you didn't become a teacher!" ”

Shi Tao was convinced by the second uncle's statement, "Zhuo Lao's analysis makes sense!" ”

The second uncle gave me a blank look, ignored me, and continued: "I was also inspired by the records left by the Tan family. We just saw that all the stone walls were full of streamers, and according to their experience, the Tan family encountered such a situation on the third day, but we were one day ahead of them, which shows that we were also affected by the Tan family's records, and we predicted this situation in our minds in advance, so this hallucination will appear under the influence of phantom jade chalcedony. This shows that we are not only influenced by our own thoughts, but also by other people and the external environment, and those illusions will also change according to the situation in our minds. ”

I looked at the second uncle, "Actually, I've thought about all these situations, but does this help us go out?" ”

The second uncle glared at me, "You thought of it?" Thinking of a fart, you kid almost got hit twice! ”

I can't help but be a little embarrassed when the second uncle says this, but the second uncle is right.

The second uncle softened his tone, "Use the phantom jade chalcedony to induce the intruder to produce illusions, this is also a kind of mechanism, we must be clear about how they work, in order to avoid being hit again!" ”

I nodded convincingly, this ginger is indeed old and spicy!

Kong Xue said: "Second uncle, did you think of something?" ”

The second uncle nodded, "Actually, it was what you just said that reminded me." ”

"Me?" was said by the second uncle, Kong Xue herself was a little surprised.

"That's right," said the second uncle, "you just said that this place is like a trap. Yes, I think it's a trap here, but it's a bit too big to make such a trap just to trap intruders, and the cost and cost of building such a trap is a little too great. Unless back then, phantom jade chalcedony was as common as granite. ”

"It should be unlikely," I said, "if the ground is full of phantom jade chalcedony, then in winter, you won't have to swallow people everywhere, and run crazy people all over the ground!" ”

The second uncle said: "If this is not the case, then there is a special meaning here, I think its meaning is related to the strange pattern of Shitai Mountain in the middle!" ”

Kong Xue's face changed, "Do we have to unlock the secret of that pattern before we can get out?" ”

The second uncle shook his head, "That's not what I meant, this place should have been specially set up to keep the secret of that pattern." And the purpose of Tan Da's family coming here back then should also be for this pattern. ”

I frowned, "So what secrets are hidden in this pattern?" ”

The second uncle waved his hand, "We can ignore what is hidden in this pattern for the time being." And what I want to say is that at this time, the four of us should not have been confused by the phantom jade chalcedony, at least we haven't gone crazy yet! ”

I smacked my lips, "Second uncle, if you don't get to the point quickly, we're going crazy!" ”

The second uncle glared at me again, and then said, "Putting aside all the distractions, the current situation is that we are in a huge trap. And all the traps have a way to close or crack, and if there is something important in them, then the builder will definitely leave a way or method for himself to enter and exit. Let me ask you a question, what would you do if you wanted to trap a person inside the house? ”

I thought about it for a moment, and immediately blurted out, "Lock him in the house!" ”

The second uncle clapped his hands, "This is the key!" Do you remember that when we entered here, it was all the way smoothly, but this does not mean that the mechanism was closed at that time, it is more likely that our activities outside caused the mechanism that was originally opened to close, and I think the opening of this mechanism is its normal. The intruder's trigger closes the trap and the entrance and exit are revealed. Only in this way will we smoothly enter this so-called trap. This mechanism is not like the one we encountered in the ancient tomb of the island, it is lethal, and it can be closed and restored to its original state by itself. And the purpose of the mechanism here is to trap the intruder, so it must not close on its own, but since it is to protect the secrets here, there must be a key point that can close the mechanism, if the key to this mechanism is not inside, then it must be outside! ”

Hearing the second uncle say this, my heart couldn't help but feel cold again, "Second uncle, you said so much as if you didn't say it, even if the key to cracking the mechanism is outside, then what's the use?" None of us can get out! ”

The second uncle's face became a little ugly, "Yes, this is indeed a problem, I think the reason why Tan Da was able to go out back then was because someone finally picked him up, maybe it was the one who killed him!" ”

I smiled wryly, "If someone could open the exit outside, I'd rather he was the one who came to kill me!" I turned my head to look at Shi Tao and the second uncle, "Can you find someone to come and pick us up?" ”

Shi Tao's expression froze, then he shook his head with a wry smile, and the second uncle reached out and touched my head, "You kid has a fever?" This deserted place, where can we find someone! ”

Suddenly, I remembered someone, "That's right! There's Dawut out there! Can we call him over! ”

Shi Tao's eyes lit up when he heard my words, but then he seemed a little hesitant, "We are already far into the ground now, can Dawut still hear it?" ”

The second uncle shook his head very resolutely, "Unless Dawuti is a good ear, it is impossible to hear it!" ”

I spread my hands, "It's called buying gauze to make a raincoat." ”

Kong Xue asked curiously, "How do you say this?" ”

"!" I fell to the ground all at once!

In the vast Gurbantunggut Desert, outside this sacrificial hall, except for Dawut in the ancient city and the Tang family who have already entered the royal city, I am afraid that there will be no one else within a radius of a hundred miles! Dawuti will leave on his own after a few days, and the only hope I can think of now is that the Tang family will repeat the mistakes of the four great families twenty years ago, and then turn to the ancient city where we are, and then they will be able to find us.

Not to mention that this is not very likely, even if they come back here, I don't know how long it will be before, maybe we will die a long time ago! At that time, he will be laughed at by the Tang family. Even if we can live to wait for their arrival, it can't rule out the possibility that we will die at the hands of the Tang family!

At this moment, I suddenly miss modern society very much, I miss modern communication tools very much, how I wish I could make a phone call for help at this time! Even if it's a call to the police! But let's not say that there is no signal in the depths of the desert, but even if there is, we go so deep underground, it is useless to have a signal. But how can we connect with the outside world today?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, this thought was like a lightning bolt piercing the night sky because of a bright light in the dark night, and I thought of a way to get in touch with the outside world, this method still has a certain possibility, but there is only one thing, that is, I want to contact not people! But as long as the contact is successful, we have a great chance to get out!

I made up my mind, I suddenly jumped up, looked at the other three people excitedly, and startled the second uncle and them, because this feeling of escaping death was too excited, I couldn't speak for a while, and it was difficult for me to laugh at them.

When the second uncle saw it, his face immediately changed, "Damn!" Zhuo Ran is crazy! Hold him down and let him run into the stone wall! ”

I waved my hand again and again, but before I could explain, I was stumbled on the ground by Shi Tao and pressed hard. I was so shocked by this fall that I couldn't speak for a while, Kong Xue was so frightened that she cried, "Zhuo Ran, what's wrong with you, you must not be fine!" ”

I hate this in my heart! I just thought of a way to survive, but I almost died at the hands of my own people! I slowed down for a moment and said with all my strength, "I'm not crazy!" Brother Tao tapped, I, I thought of a way to get out! ”

The three of them glanced at each other, Shi Tao let me go, I rubbed my aching shoulder, and looked at the second uncle resentfully, "I really doubt that you are my second uncle!" ”

Kong Xue ran to me and looked at me, "Zhuo Ran, you're okay!" ”

I smiled, "I'm fine, I'm just a little excited!" ”

The second uncle asked eagerly, "Eldest nephew, you just said that you thought of a way?" Tell me about it! ”

I snorted at him, and then said, "We just deduced that the entrance and exit here are normally closed, and it was because we touched the mechanism when we walked down that the entrance and exit were opened, and we successfully entered this trap, right?" ”

The second uncle nodded, "That's it!" ”

I continued: "But when we came down, we didn't feel that we touched any mechanism, which means that this mechanism is designed to be very easy to trigger, as long as we walk down, it will be triggered, and you won't even feel it." So we just have to let anything come down from the top to open the entrance. ”

The second uncle frowned, "What your kid said is all nonsense, the problem is not this, the problem is that no one will come down from there at all!" ”

I smiled slightly, "Second uncle, when considering problems, you must use divergent thinking, and those who come down are not necessarily people!" ”

"It doesn't have to be people?" The second uncle pondered my words and muttered for a moment, "Then what do you mean?" ”

I stretched out my hand to the second uncle, "Second uncle, take out your baby!" ”
