Volume 8 Vertical and Horizontal Chapter 592 Eighteen and a Half Steps
The dungeon should have a very good vent, the air here is quite good, and Hu Wei regretted it a little before, and didn't bring candles or anything like that, but now it seems that there is no need to worry.
"There seems to be no road here. Hou San muttered quietly beside Hu Wei. His voice trembled a little, obviously stiff, and he was still very scared in his heart.
Fear is different from fear of death, many people go to the battlefield, and they are not afraid of death yesterday, because they are prepared, even if they are facing death, they already have a score in their hearts and know what they will face. People are often most afraid of those unknown things, such as the present, no one knows what is in this underground palace and what they will face. If you want to say that you are not afraid at all, then not many people can do it.
He snorted and turned his gaze around. This was already the end of the passage, and the water was flowing through the crack in the top of the passage, and it was obviously not the place they were going, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't squeeze in.
"Boss, don't you feel cold on your vest. "Hou San is a little suspicious, always feeling that there are eyes behind him, or something to look at him again.
"Relax, it's no different from a normal house. It's just a little bigger, do you think he'll have anything?"
Hu Wei looked at Hou San's nervous appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little better. Although when he ran the rivers and lakes with the master before, they had not yet fallen to the point of robbing tombs, but he really had some contact with that kind of people, plus he had even done it before pretending to be a ghost and scary people, and when he had no money to live in a hotel, it was even more common to sleep in a mass grave, and he was really not afraid of this.
"But I just feel cold in the back. Hou San and Ben had no way to relax, especially when he remembered that Hu Wei said that this was likely to be the tomb of the Bauhinia Dynasty, he felt a straight hair in his heart.
"You're not wearing pants underneath, of course it's going to be cold. Hu Wei slapped Hou Sanyi and said, "Look for it, there may be a road there." β
was beaten by Hu You, but Hou San was not so scared and looked for it in front of those stone walls. In this passage, in addition to being invisible underwater, the places that can be seen are all stone walls, and there are not so many places that can be replaced, and it saves trouble.
Hu Wei ignored Hou San, Hou San can be regarded as a master in this regard, there is really a channel, he should be able to find it.
The painting on the stone wall is very exquisite, and Hu Yu's gaze naturally falls on it. Looking, watching, Hu Wei found a problem.
"Wait three, come here, hurry up. Hu Wei greeted Hou San.
"Boss, what's the matter. Hou San trotted over, with a wary face. Out of a physiological response to self-preservation, he is now in a state of maximum defense. It's like a frightened pig that resists the danger of a qiΔ with all his might at any time.
"If you look at these pictures, it seems to be a serial story, telling a story. Hu Wei pointed to the painting on the stone wall and said to Hou San. A person's judgment may be a psychological factor, and more affirmation can increase more affirmation.
"When you say that, it's a bit like that. Hou San observed for a while and agreed with Hu Wei's opinion.
"I didn't understand what he was drawing, though. β
After all, Hou San has studied less, and he has been living in the mountains since he was a child, and he has only come out to see the world in the past few years. In terms of similarity, he is much worse than Hu Wei. After all, if you don't have much knowledge, your likeness will naturally not be rich enough.
"You don't look at the whole picture, try to demarcate this villain as a demarcation, look at it piece by piece. Hu Wei told Hou San the skills of looking at pictures.
Three looked at it a few more times, and there was no interest. In the outside world, there are big dramas and beauties, so he doesn't think that there is anything to see in this picture underground. Even if he's some kind of comic strip, so what.
Hu Wei watched Hou San go to the entrance again, ignored him, and looked at the painting there alone. There are women, generals, and horses in the painting, which looks very much like a comic book, but there is no text explanation, and it is really not very understandable what it wants to express. I only know that these stone carvings have a certain age.
"Boss, there's a way here. Hou San shouted over there, waking Hu Wei up from his contemplation, and also distracting some of the things that had just come to his mind.
Quickly walked to Hou San's side, and sure enough, he saw a small path that appeared there.
"It's an event gate. Hou San explained.
"Go in and have a look. β
Hu Wei carefully observed that there was no danger, and walked in first. ,
"It's going down again, and it's going to lead somewhere. Hou San didn't know what to think of, so he shrunk his neck in fright, and hurriedly followed behind Hu Wei.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the stone steps were still all the way down, Hu Wei stopped, Hou Sanyi didn't pay attention, and almost bumped into Hu Wei.
"Boss, why did you stop?" asked Hou San strangely.
Hu Wei's face became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "This is not right, according to our speed, we have walked for so long, at least down to the ground for nearly 100 meters, why haven't we reached the end yet." β
San exclaimed, and said hurriedly: "Are we getting lost in the formation?" β
"Don't be surprised. Hu Wei snorted, and Hu Wei was also a little nervous because of his old tense trouble.
After thinking carefully for a while, Hu Wei said: "Let's count the stone steps and go down, if we can't walk five hundred steps, we will go back." β
"Do whatever you say, I'll listen to you. "Hou San has no opinion at all. Of course, if you have to ask his opinion, he must be thinking that he doesn't care about anything and leaves this ghost place first. But he knew that Hu Wei would not agree.
After discussing with each other, the two continued to climb the stairs. The sound of footsteps echoed faintly all around, as if it could be heard far away.
"Boss, I have a question, I just found out, can you ask. About two hundred steps down, Hou San said weakly.
"If you have something to say, you can say it. Hu Wei replied angrily. This candidate three, the reaction underground, is much worse than usual. He hadn't cowered so much before.
"No, that, I just want to know, there are no lights here, and there is no sky, why is it so bright. β
"Huh?" Hu Wei stopped. Hou San is right, there is no light source here, why is it so bright.
Hu Wei's eyes can see at night, and he has long been accustomed to seeing things in the dark, so he doesn't pay too much attention to this light problem. But Hou San's eyes are no different from normal people, how can he see a qiΔ here without hindrance.
No, it just seems a little weird here, and we can't go any further. As for not going any further down until you go back to where you came in.
After thinking about it again in his heart, Hu Wei decided to reflexively go back. People sometimes like to be angry, and they must go to the wall before turning back, Hu Wei is not like that, as long as he finds that he can't do anything, he will think of other ways.
To survive in the rivers and lakes, the emphasis is on flexibility. If he always drilled the horns, he was afraid that he would not be able to live now.
"General Hongye, General Ximen, it's already dark this day, I think you might as well go back to the house to rest first, I'm watching here, as soon as there is any situation, I will immediately send someone to inform you." Chen Dali came to the women of Hongye and persuaded with a little discussion.
It has been more than half a day since Hu Wei went into the water, and Hongye, Ximen Yufeng, Ouyang Narcissus and other beauties have also been here for most of the day. At this time, even Ouyang Shuixian, who was the most energetic, lazily drooped his little head and leaned on Hongye's side.
Momiji looked at the people around him, and then at the sky. Indeed, it is not good to keep a night here, not to mention the problem of strong wind. The news that their legion leaders were guarding the river day and night alone would have an impact on the stability of the legion.
"Okay, then we'll be back, and here we will be General Lao Chen. After careful consideration, Momiji decided to take everyone back first, even if she knew, even if she returned to the house, she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
"Sister Momiji, I don't want to go back. You let me wait here for my brother to come back, okay? Ouyang Narcissus took Hongye's hand and said coquettishly.
Hongye pinched Ouyang Shuixian's little face and said, "That's not good, Rou'er is Brother Hu You's baby, if you let the wind here blow sick, Brother Hu Wu will scold Sister Hongye." Let's go, go back to take a shower, get a good night's sleep, and we'll come back tomorrow. β
"Yufeng, Jinfeng, let's go. Yueyue, tonight, you will stay in the Shuaifu for the time being. β
Momiji unknowingly, she has become the head of the eldest sister, she said so, and the other girls didn't say anything anymore. Even the youngest Avril is the queen of the empire, and they can be different from ordinary daughters.
Chen Dali sent a team of people to escort Hongye and his party back, and then he breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Momiji themselves may not know how loud they are to sit here and wait, and how loud it will be to the soldiers. When the soldiers saw them from afar, they really didn't even get out of the atmosphere. ,
"It's over, it's over, boss, it looks like we're going to have to explain it here this time. It's all my fault, if I hadn't come down, you wouldn't have come to this place of hell. In the dungeon, Hou San sat on the stone steps, complaining to himself.
They had walked up and down the stone steps several times, but not only could they not find the way down, but now they could not even find the way up. The stone steps seemed to hang in the sky, and they didn't go up or down.
"A bit ambitious, a guy who has no future. This is a big thing, you have to die or live. I sue you, things haven't come to that point yet. Besides, whether you can't get down or not, you can't influence my decision. I'm going to come down, what does it have to do with you? β
Hu Wei said a few words, and then ignored him anymore. What the hell is not a ghost, Hu Wei will not believe it. In his opinion, now they can't find a way, and they have nothing to do with those ghosts and gods, but they have regained some kind of tricks. As long as the mystery is solved, there will be no problem.
The key is how to solve the mystery.
Hu Wei thought about it and calculated it again in his mind. These stone steps, whether they go down or up, cannot be endless, this is a certainty. And now they can't walk the stone steps no matter how they go, and the biggest possibility is that they have walked into a loop. This happened when I went to check the alien nest on a cold rainy night, and they seemed to have walked for three days, but in fact, they had been spinning in the same place all the time.
Yes, you should try this.
Hu Wei thought, stretched out his hand, and tore off a piece of cloth on Hou San's clothes.
"Boss, what are you doing, I don't like to play with tyrannical chrysanthemums. Hou San was taken aback by Hu Yu's movements, he no longer had pants, and if he had no clothes, he would be naked.
"You think so. Do I need you for something my woman?" Hu Wei scolded, fixed the torn clothes on the stone steps, and said, "Let's go, let's see if we can meet this cloth again." β
In fact, it is okay for one person to sit still and the other person to go up or down alone. But it's easy to separate two people. In this kind of place, light yì can not be separated casually.
Hou San still didn't quite understand, but Hu Wei had already gone downstairs, and he had to follow. This time it didn't take much time again, and it took less than a minute to walk, and the strip of cloth appeared in their eyes again.
"Boss, what's going on. We are going down, and this strip of cloth should be on top, but how can it be in front of us. β
"Leave it alone, let's turn around and look up. Hu Wei didn't immediately express any opinions or explanations. Turn around and walk up.
After another minute or so, the strip of cloth reappeared, this time on the stone steps above.
After two positive and negative realizations, Hu Wei has already reached a preliminary conclusion. It's clear that they're really stuck in a loop.
"Boss, how can this be. Hou San felt a chill in his heart. The air all around seems to be getting colder.
"The man who built this place is a master. Hu Wei sighed and said, "No wonder you can't finish this road." It turns out that we are in a maze. Ha, that's interesting, that's interesting. β
Hou San asked weakly: "Boss, do you know what is going on? It means that we can get out, do you know how to get out?"
Hu Wei spread his hands and said: "There must be a road, but it just depends on whether we can find it." The prize found is life. Can't find our ......."
"Just die here. "Hou Sankou said.
"Not bad. Hu Wei nodded with satisfaction and continued: "But the chances of us dying here are not great. β
"Why?" asked Hou San.
"Because I'm an immortal bird. He was killed in this way, and how can he mix it up after that. β
Hou San couldn't figure it out, everyone was dead, and what else was there to mix. But things have come to this point, and he is single. The whole person is a lot more energetic.
Under the command of Hu Wei, the two of them separately tested the length of the ladder as a progression.
"It seems that the problem is here, going up is nineteen steps, going down is seventeen steps but they are all back to the original place. Hu Wei said while thinking.
"Boss, what do you say? Hou San also hardened at this time.
Hu Wei shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry about it first, if you want to play with your life, there is a chance." Now what we're encountering is technical stuff. If force is not good, the head is useful. The fact that there are different levels up and down and that they have the same end shows that there is a problem on one of the ladders. If we want to get out, we must first locate the eighteenth staircase that has disappeared. β,
Hou San felt that what Hu Wei said was quite reasonable, although he didn't understand it very well, but he felt that Hu Wei already had a way, and asked, "Then how do we find the eighteenth step?"
"It's the rope. The body and eyes can deceive, but the length of the rope cannot deceive. β
"But we don't have a rope. Hou San reminded.
Hu Wei smiled and said, "You don't, I have." β
Hu Wei said as he reached into the cup, and when he took it out again, he already had a bundle of straw rope in his hand.
Hou San looked at it with some glare: "Boss, such a bundle of rope." How did you put it in your clothes?"
Of course, Hu Wei is not in the clothes, but the rope is in the ring. However, he didn't plan to explain this to Hou San, and handed the end of the rope to Hou San.
"You take this head, go down, and when you see me, stop. β
When Hou San grabbed the rope and appeared in front of Hu You, Hu Wei asked Hou San to pull the other end of the rope and walk in the opposite direction.
"Okay, that's pretty much it. Hu Wei cut the two ropes separately for comparison, and sure enough, the two ropes were not the same length.
"Come on, let's solve this mystery of him. β
When the huge dungeon real body appeared in front of Hou San, Hou San couldn't help but be surprised.
Resplendent and splendid, huge and magnificent, this place is completely indistinguishable from a royal palace except that it cannot be seen from the sky. As for the question of why it is so bright underground, there is now an answer. This whole zenith, inlaid with night pearls, can not be bright.
"Boss, how did you do it, how did we get out?" Although it was a personal experience, Hou San still didn't understand how they got from those nasty stairs to get here.
This qiΔ seems to be very natural. He just pulled the rope as Hu was instructed, walked in circles, walked straight, and came out.
"This is a legend about the eighteenth and a half steps. I forgot about the specific story. Hu Wei laughed. He didn't forget the story, and the storybook in the ring recorded this story. He also saw the phrase 'eighteen and a half steps' in this storybook sent by Taishi Gong. It's just that he doesn't want to sue SΓΉ Housan, there are some things, the less people know, the better.
"Whatever, if only he could come out. Hou San just asked casually, in this regard, to the point that there is no strong desire for knowledge, Hu Wei said that he forgot about it, and he will forget it.
Hu Wei sighed: "The sky is full of pearls, and the handwriting is really big enough." Let's go, let's see, what other surprises there are. This is the wealth accumulated by the Bauhinia Dynasty for thousands of years."
