Purple Zombie has finally been subdued by us, and now we have managed to get out of the maze.
It is easy for the walking corpses to get in, because they are guided by the blood of the earth dragon, but it is very difficult to get out again, and they do not have the wisdom to find a way out.
The Night General stood on the wall of the Ten Thousand Flowers Array, and in a deep voice told us what it had just discovered. The design of this mausoleum is simple and crude, it is a completely symmetrical building, the center is this kaleidocarpus, and the surrounding area is divided into four corridors, southeast and northwest, each corridor has roughly ten burial chambers, we enter the corridor due south.
As soon as I said that, I realized that something was wrong.
Things will never be so simple, if this mausoleum is really as General Night said, then this is not a private mausoleum at all, but a cemetery.
But all the mausoleums must be divided into three, six, nine and so on, that is, there are always a few important people who are buried in the main burial chamber.
And if the design here is really as General Night said, everything is symmetrical, and there are a total of forty burial chambers of the same size in four directions and four corridors, then the question arises: are these people exactly the same status? Could it be that this mausoleum was built by their fair AA crowd fund?
If that's not the case, why are all treated exactly the same?
Such strange mausoleums may exist in modern society (if you can afford land), but in ancient feudal societies it is absolutely impossible.
When I said this, everyone frowned and shook their heads.
The red scorpion played a good role in experience guidance at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "I have encountered this situation before, and there is only one reason why this situation happened, and that is that we are not entering the real Shen Ling. β
"Oh?" Uncle Xin frowned and asked, "What do you say?" β
The red scorpion said: "It is very likely that what we are entering now is only the outer space of Shen Ling, and the real Shen Ling is actually under or inside this mausoleum, that is to say, there must be a secret passage leading to the real Shen Ling here." β
"Secret passage?" Uncle Xin looked puzzled: "Where will the secret path be?" β
"This is going to trouble General Night to find it, it can fly, it's easier to find." The red scorpion knew that his luck today was not good, and he would be unlucky in everything, so he didn't give himself a job.
The night general croaked: "Lao Tzu is not a native master, he knows the secret way of a fart!" "βThis old bird has a temper at critical moments.
Uncle Xin is also worried now, seeing the team members he brought die one by one, but now he hasn't even found the real Shen Ling.
At the critical moment, Uncle Xin gritted his teeth and pleaded: "General Night, I know that you are a master, the one-eyed dragon and the earth dragon are dead, if we return in vain, the two of them will die in vain!" β
General Night poked his head and pecked the inside of his wings, and said, "Lao Xin, I admire you as a person, and I am definitely willing to help you, but in the current situation, it is unreliable to rely on a big crow like me to find a secret path for you......"
Uncle Xin sighed helplessly, and I asked, "General Night, are you humble or telling the truth?" β
General Night glared at me: "Of course I'm telling the truth, didn't Lao Tzu say it, after becoming a crow, the brain capacity has become smaller, and it is almost half of the mentally retarded...... Damn, although the crow is the smartest among the birds, it still doesn't have enough brain capacity......"
I looked at the panda and I whispered, "Well, if you stay here, I'll look for it, and maybe I'll find it." β
The panda hurriedly said: "I will go with me, we are used to cooperation." β
Uncle Xin shook his head: "If you want to go, you can go together, you can't be separated, the reason why I let General Ye go is because it can avoid the attack of the walking corpses." β
The night general croaked: "Forget it, I'll go, you've said everything you have to say, can I still go?" β
After saying that, General Ye flapped his wings and flew, and in the blink of an eye, he entered the Ten Thousand Flowers Array. I can't help but admire the wisdom of General Night, although this guy keeps saying that he is brainless, but in fact he is not, it accurately judges the possible location of the secret passage.
Because the mausoleum we are in now is completely symmetrical, and the ancient designers were often obsessive-compulsive, they would not build the secret passage in a completely random position, in the symmetrical figure, the position of the secret passage is either on the axis of symmetry, or on the center of symmetry.
After sending General Night away, the atmosphere at the scene fell silent.
Uncle Xin suddenly asked me in a low voice: "Xiao Yang, I remember that there seems to be a master of Xuanmen in Jiangsu who is also called General Ye, is this one?" β
Uncle Xin is well-informed, although he is in Yunnan, he also knows the things on the southeast coast.
Uncle Xin and I have experienced life and death, and our relationship is not bad, but I didn't tell the truth: "There is also a night general in Jiangsu? Maybe it's a coincidence, this bird shouldn't be that one. β
Uncle Xin didn't doubt it when he heard this, and said abruptly: "I don't know why it turned into a bird, in short, I feel that it is a strange person with affection and righteousness." β
Affectionate and righteous.
General Night is indeed such a person, if it weren't for sacrificing his life to save me, not only would he not be reduced to a crow now, but he might have recaptured Nanjing from his traitorous apprentices.
Alas, it's all fate......
At this point, I suddenly noticed that Ersa, who was usually very talkative, seemed to have become silent, and considering the picture of him putting down his sleeve when he asked about the corpse poison before, I suddenly felt that things were a little weird......
A not-so-good thought welled up in my mind.
"Ersa, are you alright?" I asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, Isa felt like he had been electrocuted, and his whole body bounced up.
"It's fine! Of course it's fine! Issa's answer was a bit of a silver tael here, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that his answer was too violent.
Uncle Xin is a veteran of the rivers and lakes, and he can see at a glance that Ersa's current state is not normal, so he hurriedly asked: "Ersa, tell me the truth, are you ......?"
"No, Uncle Xin, why am I lying to you?" Elsa suddenly began to become impatient, and this revealed that he was by no means without trouble.
Uncle Xin is an old Jianghu, and he knows that the unity of the team is more important than anything else, and since Ersa is unwilling to say, he is afraid that there will be no good result if he asks forcibly.
And the red scorpion is even more refined, and at this time, he just rightly said: "Forget it, there shouldn't be anything, let's think about entering the lower space for a while." β
Isa escaped, but his face became more and more ugly. Uncle Xin looked worried, but he didn't want to ask. The situation is awkward.
Panda and I couldn't say anything, because the current team was too fragile due to the death of the two team members, and the slightest friction could ruin the whole team.
Silent. Now there is only silence.
The Night General is an efficiency faction, and it only took him half an hour to get back here. The returning Night General was in a state of great emotion, and it told us that there was indeed a secret passage in the Ten Thousand Flowers Array.
However, this is only good news for it, and the Night General, the crow, always seems to be a bearer of mixed blessings. The good news is that the secret passage in the Ten Thousand Flowers Array has been discovered, and the bad news is that there are walking corpses around the secret passage now.
The Earth Dragons had died in the center of the kaleidoscope, and the Walking Corpses had found it with the smell of blood, but when they found the corpses, they stopped moving, and they all stayed outside the entrance to the secret passage.
General Night tilted his head and said: "Originally, there were eight walking corpses, let's kill one, and there are still seven left, you can figure out whether you can do it, anyway, I'm not responsible for fighting." β
After losing two generals, we only have five combat strength left, but even if we take down a walking corpse, we will need at least two or more people.
In this way, it seems that there is no chance of winning at all.
At the critical moment, the red scorpion suddenly had the desire to go home: "Otherwise, let's ...... Looking for an outlet? β
Since it is a symmetrical building, the exit is probably not far away, and it must be much easier to find the exit than to find a secret passage.
However, Uncle Xin stood up and said resolutely and coldly: "No, if you don't complete the task, the team members will die in vain, you can go by yourself if you want to, I will go to the secret passage!" β
Looking at Uncle Xin's resolute side face, Panda and I fell silent......
