Chapter 1 The Problem

The children of the Zhang family looked at the hazy statue and looked at each other, and they all muttered a little.

The patriarch's admonition said, what is strange? If everything is strange, it is not called strange.

The real strangeness must be that there are different things in ordinary phenomena, whether you can understand them or not.

For example, if you wake up and find yourself in a world without gravity from where you work, it's not surprising, because you can understand that you're dreaming, or you're in the universe. But if you find that gravity is useless for everything but you in this world, it would be strange

However, the discovery of this contradiction is also an opportunity for many things, and if this is a conspiracy, this contradiction often exposes a lot of things hidden behind it.

Among the people I know, the fat man is a person who is particularly good at discovering this contradiction, and he has a very good mental advantage, that is, he doubts the rationality of everything in the first place. To put it bluntly, when he encounters anything he doesn't understand, he thinks that someone is playing with him, if it's not a person, or a ghost is playing with him.

The good thing about this way of thinking is that you always have a ready person to punch. People are such things that can't face invisible fears, but once you know that someone is playing with you, anger gives you a lot of extra strength.

Among the people who are good at finding contradictions, Zhang Haike is a person who is very similar to the fat man, these people are actually very outstanding in terms of level and intelligence, and each has its own strengths, but only Zhang Haike has the so-called "game-breaking" ability.

Many times, we say that if someone wants to design you, the time when they can crack it is usually before all the foreshadowing is buried, once the foreshadowing is buried, everything starts to start, and it is especially difficult to turn the tables.

In other words, if you have entered a trap, to break a trap that has already been completed, and you are already trapped, it takes a lot of wisdom and imagination to break the game.

The main thing is to find weaknesses in the ability to observe and how to twist the imagination.

So as soon as Zhang Haike saw something, it was lined up in the middle of the tomb, and he knew that this thing must be the key.

In this burial chamber, everything is hanging upside down on the roof, but this one thing is normal, so this thing can provide at least two clues. First, assuming that the layout of the burial chamber is a layout with a special symbolic meaning, this upright thing may be able to reverse what this symbolic meaning is. Second, if the design of this burial chamber has any effect, then this upright thing must be a very important part of the mechanism.

Unless the builders of this burial chamber wanted to play with some ultra-modern design, there was no escaping either of these points.

Several people scattered, each choosing their own movements, slowly approaching the thing, and when they entered, they saw that it was a bronze horse hidden in the darkness.

The bronze horse is only more than half a person tall, and its body is black, and it is full of protruding nails, which looks like it has a skin disease. That kind of black is different from ordinary black, the black one is a bit miserable and whitish, to put it bluntly, it is not pure black, but composed of a lot of completely different blacks. The blacks are so close together that it's hard to tell the difference, but you can see the discomfort at a glance.

Unable to see what material it was made of, Zhang Haike thought that it might be a kind of lacquerware, which had been corroded and turned into this way.

It is likely that the interior of this lacquerware is hollow, woven from dried fibers treated with vines, and then glued and lacquered.

If it was symbolic, a horse standing upside down on the roof and then turning it all upside down, he didn't think it would have any symbolic meaning. Even if the people around him think that this setting itself is related to Feng Shui, he doesn't particularly believe it in his heart. But if it's part of a mechanism, the hollow design is a big deal.

"Don't use your legs, take a tightrope and take a look. Zhang Haike said.

The so-called steel cable is a steel wire the thickness of a mung bean, and Zhang Haike has ten circles around his waist, which everyone has on their waists, and only the children of the Zhang family will use it. Because once a person reaches adulthood, the steel wire cannot bear the weight of an adult.

Several men connected the wires and pulled them into one piece, came to both sides of the horse, and pulled the ropes to let the wires pass over the horse.

In this way, people can climb on top of the steel cable, they can not step on the ground around the "horse", and they can also check all the details of the horse, and with Zhang Haike's understanding of the mechanism, he will definitely be able to find something.

A few other people looked at the stuffy oil bottle, because the steel wire itself is elastic, plus the torque, the people who pull the steel wire on both sides need great force to pull, so the people on the steel wire must try to weigh as little as possible.

The stuffy oil bottle is the youngest among all of them, of course, the soul will know, and he wanted to go up, but was stopped by Zhang Haike.

"He's too young, if he misses, we'll all suffer, I'll come, if there's something to do, everyone will take care of it. ”

This sentence is still very reasonable, teenagers, two or three years apart is the difference between heaven and earth, thirteen years old and sixteen years old are completely two concepts.

Everyone nodded, and Zhang Haike said to the stuffy oil bottle: "You go to the ground first, and then go down when it's okay." ”

The stuffy oil bottle looked at the horse, but it didn't move, Zhang Haike said it again, and the stuffy oil bottle said: "I know you won't listen to what I say, but this time you are more than lucky, you can leave a token for me, if you encounter an accident, I can take them back to your parents." ”

Zhang Haike frowned, although the Zhang family has training and doesn't care about these, because the so-called crow's mouth touches the moldy head, it is easy for people to hide some very important feelings in their stomachs and not say it, but saying this kind of thing at this time still makes him uncomfortable.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because we don't have a clue. "We don't know anything here, and even if we know more, it doesn't apply to this place, and we inevitably fall into a most terrible misunderstanding." ”

"What misunderstanding?" Zhang Haike was a little unhappy, because of the tone of the stuffy oil bottle, and because these words came out of his immature mouth.

"Although this ancient tomb is also an ancient tomb, it is completely different from all the previous ancient tombs, and all the things we have learned are useless to this ancient tomb. In other words, we are now exactly like ordinary people. ”

The words of the stuffy oil bottle made Zhang Haike break out in a cold sweat, he had always felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't find the problem, and he understood as soon as the stuffy oil bottle said it.

Indeed, the problem is that everything I have learned and seen in the past is different from what I am looking for.

Although they have always wanted to use their knowledge to set up this ancient tomb, such as the feng shui layout and tricks, they all want to bring this ancient tomb back to the level that they can control, but the fact is that all the speculations are very reluctant, the first time they have seen such an ancient tomb, all the layouts in the ancient tomb are confusing and incomprehensible.

One of their experiences, like the last of the thirty-six strategies, is that when they encounter such an ancient tomb, it is best to give up.

Can they give up? No. Another sentence of the stuffy oil bottle is also true, at this point, they absolutely do not have the courage to give up.

Sixteen or seventeen-year-old children, they don't know what it means to be a strong man with a broken wrist, they have worked hard for so long, and they will definitely refuse to give up.

My grandfather once said to me: many times, giving up is a virtue. Of course, that's not the case.

One of the children laughed twice and expressed disdain, and Zhang Haike said: "Born in the Zhang family, I don't care about this." You go up quickly. ”

Without saying much, the bottle turned and climbed up the wall and climbed out of the hole. He left, and the kid who laughed twice took a sip and said, "The little ghost is just not sensible." ”

Zhang Haike glanced at the tightened steel cable, sighed in his heart, and said, "Let's go." After saying that, he bent over and jumped, stepped on the shoulder of the other child, and got on the tightrope.

The steel rope was in vain, and the children who pulled the steel cable on both sides let out a muffled snort, Zhang Haike hung upside down under the steel cable, climbed all the way with his hands and feet, and soon reached the top of the copper horse.
