Rain Chapter 15 The end of the road is a glimpse of the key
In the girl's confusion, Fang Tai explained: "It seems that the stone ground under our feet is not a whole piece, nor is it fixed, it will rise and fall with the movement of people.
"When I got to the place where I first triggered the trap, the whole ground around it began to tilt and sink, and the trap activated. After passing through the silver wire array, when you go somewhere between the two traps, the original sinking ground rises again, and the ground behind it slopes down again, triggering the second trap.
"But the sinking and ascending are very weak, and we have gone so far that the projectile at the second mechanism has begun to roll.
"I suspect that with each step, the ground will tilt imperceptibly for no more than a minute, and it will take about an inch or so to trigger the mechanism. We are three feet away from the steps, and it will take fifteen or sixteen steps. In addition, the fire was dim, and most of your and I attention was on the stone wall, so naturally we didn't notice that the ground would move. ”
The girl only felt incredible, and said with wide eyes, "What a skill! It is possible to cut such a large stone and reassemble it tightly, and it is necessary to install a mechanism under the stone weighing tens of millions of pounds...... This, this, this is too unbelievable......"
Fang Tai also sighed: "It is rumored that the Qin Dynasty has reached the point of reaching its peak, and the wooden kite made by Mozi is small and exquisite, and can fly in the sky for three days and three nights; The puppeteers made by Yanshi can dance and pour wine, just like real people; In the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, the sun, moon and stars rotate, and the mercury rivers are endless......
In later generations, only the records of wooden oxen and flowing horses remained, and Zhuge even the crossbow did not appear in the world, leaving only waterwheels, booms, bed crossbows, ladders, running stones and other things used by the world.
"It's a pity that those rumored technologies have slowly dispersed and disappeared in the change of dynasties for some reason. Nowadays, I can only get a glimpse of the scenery of that era from books, and I can't imagine it. ”
"I know that the predecessor of Youlong Villa, Renyi Villa, was once famous in the rivers and lakes for its tricks, and it is said that it was inherited by the Mo family back then, and it was also built by the ancestors of the Liu family when I wanted to come to this underground palace." The girl remembered the history of the Liu family, and couldn't help but think of a section, "If you can create such a subtle trap, you may have done countless things in the eight directions for decades, not to mention dominating the rivers and lakes, it is easy to dominate one side." Why is there only one broken box left until now, and the old man Liu suddenly gave up his ancestral business in his life, but practiced his fists and feet. It's puzzling. ”
Fang Tai also shook his head, he only knew very little about the forces in the rivers and lakes, although he was a little curious about the situation of the Liu family, but he didn't know the reason behind it.
After all, it has only been a day since he intersected with Liu Yuqi, and if these circumstances are related to the secrets of the Liu family, he is embarrassed to ask.
The girl suddenly remembered something again and asked, "Huh?" Hunting, what did you just say 'the end of the road'? Could it be that this is the name of the organ here? ”
Fang Tai thought back to what Fang You had described and said: "I once heard an elder say that the technique of 'the end of the road' was passed down by the Mo family in the Qin Dynasty, and it was commonly used in the tunnels and labyrinths of the city, which were divided into two types: 'the end of the road' and the 'end of the road'.
"During the Warring States period, Zheng Zhuang Gong was dissatisfied with his mother, and swore that 'he was not as good as Huangquan, and he would not see each other', and when he regretted it, he asked the Mo family to build a secret passage. Zheng Zhuang Gong and his mother, accompanied by the minister's guards, entered the secret passage, obviously everyone thought that they were walking on the flat ground, but by the time the mother and son met, they were already under the nine lands, and they used the method of despair.
"This technique allows people to ascend and descend unconsciously, and I can perceive the secrets of the ground from the rolling of the projectiles, and this secret passage can also allow people to go up or down without knowing it, so I can infer this. The Liu family also used this desperate technique as the key to triggering the mechanism, which is indeed extraordinary. ”
The girl said curiously: "The end of the road, the end of the road...... The trick of despair, while interesting, is nothing more than a misleading trick, not to mention that it is not very ingenious. So what is the end of the road? Is it ever recorded in history? ”
Fang Tai shook his head: "I haven't heard of an official record in the history books. However, the art of the end is more common in the world than the poor road, and you must have heard of it by another name, girl. ”
"What is it?"
"Ghost, hit, wall."
Fang Tai said solemnly, but it startled the girl.
The dungeon was dim and unknown, cool and damp, and extremely silent, and the girl shivered when she heard the ghost words, pinching Fang Tai's clothes and not daring to look around.
"Hunting, you...... Don't scare anyone! Ghost...... Ghost Hit the Wall...... No, isn't ghost hitting the wall a ghost-catching spell? How did it become a trick? ”
Fang Tai couldn't help but cry and laugh when he saw the girl's panicked appearance, and he didn't think that this girl who dared to steal other people's heirlooms was afraid of the rumors of ghosts.
After thinking about it, Fang Tai coaxed her: "Where is the ghost in this world...... My master once said that if there are ghosts in this world, they will also be transformed by death. If you are not afraid of people, don't you have to be afraid of people when they die? ”
"Huh? Still, can you think like that? It seems that there is some truth to it...... It's all because my brother always used some ghosts to scare me when I was a child......"
"That's natural, we are both martial arts, and we have killed many evildoers before. As the saying goes, ghosts are afraid of the wicked, although we are not evildoers, but there is always a bad spirit, where is the fear? ”
"Hmm...... That's right...... Yes, if there are ghosts...... I can't take care of you, when the time comes, I'll write off our accounts, don't blame me......"
The girl said coquettishly, and Fang Tai couldn't stop laughing.
"Hmph, looking at you like this, I guess I can't count on ...... Aren't I just afraid of ghosts, what's there to laugh at...... Come on, you're still laughing! ”
The girl's face flushed from the joke, and she turned around angrily and ignored Fang Tai by the neck.
"Girl...... Don't be angry, girl, I'm ...... I really didn't know anyone was so afraid of ghosts, haha...... Burst! I've traveled with Master since I was a child, and it's common to sleep in the wilderness, and I've also been in lonely graves, and I've never taken these things seriously, don't be ......surprised."
Seeing that the girl was still turning her back to herself, Fang Tai, who didn't know how to coax the girl, had to change the topic bluntly.
"Ahem, yes! Girl, you just said that the technique of 'the end of the road' is not ingenious, so do you know how incredible things can be done once the 'end road' and 'end road' are united? ”
He saw the girl's shoulders swaying, and knew that he had touched an itch in her heart, and then said: "This 'end road' technique is similar to the 'end road', which can make people unconsciously follow the road to the left and right. If the place is large enough and the shielding on both sides is high enough, it can even make it impossible for a few people to walk out for a day, so it is called 'ghost hitting the wall'. It is rumored that the eight-array diagram arranged by Zhuge Kongming in Fengjie used the technique of 'the end of the road' to almost trap Lu Xun to death.
"If the two techniques are combined, adjusting the direction of the road bit by bit, and then covering up the hidden intersection through light and shadow, then the person who is going forward will be unconsciously misled by the eyes and go to the place where the owner of the agency wants.
"I lost my direction, I didn't know what I was going from, I didn't know what I was going from, I couldn't find my whereabouts. When you enter the 'end of the road', it is as if you are really in a desperate situation, and it is difficult to escape as if you are ascending to heaven. ”
The girl was finally distracted by Fang Tai's remarks, turned around and said worriedly: "That's bad! If there is such a technique in this underground palace as you said, we probably won't be able to get out! Alas, it's all my fault for being careless, thinking that I could catch it, but I still underestimated the heritage of this big family of rivers and lakes, and I even got into a ...... of you."
Fang Tai smiled: "Girl, don't worry, since I know the heel of the 'end of the road', I am not afraid of it, you follow me closely!" ”
The girl was impressed by Fang Tai repeatedly. From the beginning of the outstanding archery of the Orion, to the delicate young man, to the same hatred of the enemy, the ancient and modern handsome, Fang Tai left a deep impression on her.
Now he is mysterious and secretive, and he is full of confidence to believe in him.
What kind of secret does this hunting man have?
The girl looked at Fang Tai's calm expression and couldn't help but calm down.
"That'...... Then it's up to you......"
I couldn't help but soften a little softer when I spoke, and I was no longer as coquettish and willful as before.
In fact, Fang Tai is also the first time to see this "end of the road" technique, although he has listened to Fang You's narration before, and he doesn't know the real thing, but the principles and tricks have been learned by himself.
Since it is a method of using light and shadow to affect vision, it is not a problem under one's own heavenly eyes.
Previously, it was also because of the unfamiliar environment for the first time, and the attention was affected by the silver wire array and the projectile array, and the changes in the ground were not observed.
Then as long as you keep an eye on the road after that, these changes in distance and size can no longer escape your eyes, let alone those hidden secret doors.
Fang Tai looked at the two traps just now, thinking about what kind of traps he would encounter next.
Suddenly, a sentence crossed his mind, which made him excited, and hurriedly asked the girl: "Girl, do you know what the eight hidden weapons of the Bafang Wind and Rain Box are?" ”
"Uh...... I've only heard of it too. Wind and rain in all directions, light silk, jumping beads, showers, smoke and rain, and wind, smoked wind, golden wind, and Shuo wind, were the first hidden weapons in the rivers and lakes decades ago. We've all seen the Wind Blade, this other ......"
The girl's eyes lit up, and she pointed in the direction of the silver wire array and asked Fang Tai, "Wait!" Could it be ......"
Fang Tai nodded and said, "Yes, I guess that in this underground palace is an enlarged Bafang Wind and Rain Box!" ”
