When a catastrophe is approaching, it is one thing to be awe-inspiring and fearless in desperation, but as long as there is still a glimmer of life, no one will be resolute and have to wait for death. Chu Menglin also listened to the young man's command, the three of them stood in a row in front of the mark, holding each other's arms, and every step they took reported the number of steps together: "one", "two", "three", after walking five steps, the three of them stood still, and the young man stepped aside and said: "Next, I count 'six', you take the left foot first, and the right foot does not have to follow." Six!" Visually measuring the distance they took out in one step, estimating the length of half a step, finding the right position, turning to the right, the torch pushed forward, and sure enough, he saw that in front of him was a swarthy hole, which was located between the cracks in the wall at the blind corner of the sight.

The young man walked out of the small hole, looked left and right, and saw the carved dragon stone pillars on both sides, and one of the dragon's heads was still stained with blood, and knew that it was indeed the entrance when he came, and said happily: "It's done!" Re-entered the road, and commanded the two to stand in the direction he was facing, so as to turn back to the original perspective.

Duoduo was discussing the mysteries of Yongdao with Chu Menglin: "I heard that far away in the ancient tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there is a kind of mechanism called 'Soul Ladder', every twenty-three steps is a reincarnation, you can't go up or down, and you can't go up or down, and you are constantly spinning in place, which should have something in common with this principle. But it's a flight of stairs, so what is it here?

Chu Menglin muttered: "As soon as the Soul Hanging Ladder is said, I have also heard that it is not a supernatural phenomenon, but an ingenious mechanism arranged by using the Nine Palaces Bagua Technique, which can be arranged with very simple props to make people dizzy. I remember when I went to Shadowless Mountain Villa to get the Soul Tears, a few old guys used this formation against me, and the courtyard was full of big stones......"

The young man said happily: "Yes, yes, the Shadowless Mountain Villa was completely wiped out by the Shadow Demon Sect and razed to the ground, and this matter was widely spread in the rivers and lakes. If you were able to set fire to the village later, you would definitely know how to break this formation! Hey, little girl, you are hiding it deeply. ”

Chu Menglin's heart was empty, and the young man praised himself, although it was rare, he didn't dare to take the opportunity to boast. It's not that the skin is too thin to speak, but because he recalled the situation at the time, Jiang Yanchen said afterwards: "If it weren't for my reminder at first, you would still be trapped in that stone formation, calling the heavens and the earth unspiritual, but I was afraid that you would be so annoyed that you would stomp your feet and cry." And she was indeed trapped in the formation and couldn't move an inch, so anxious that she jumped her feet and swung her sword and slashed indiscriminately, until Jiang Yanchen secretly popped out the broken pebbles, paved a trajectory around her, and marked the route completely, so that she was able to break out of the formation, only to say that "remind" was already lifting her. The formation that could be broken in the past suddenly won't be broken now, and then boasting about it will be self-inflicted, in order to cover up this leakage, I had to say: "What are you anxious about? I still haven't had a chance to understand, the old guys are afraid of trouble...... Thinking that no one will be afraid of trouble and afraid of death, he changed his words: "The old guys are clumsy, we all attacked the main hall, and only then did we see them piling up stones in the garden." ”

The young man secretly felt funny: "When you get to the main hall, you should always pass through the garden first, do you see them moving stones, so you deliberately avoid them, so as to make it convenient for others?"

Duoduo was well-informed, and after hearing her mention the old story of the Shadowless Villa, after a little thought, he figured out what happened. He had been on the battlefield with Jiang Yanchen to kill the enemy, and he had long admired his skill and resourcefulness in his heart, but he was unwilling to say words of appreciation from his mouth. On the contrary, Chu Menglin's identity as a subordinate of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect was not revealed to the young man in advance, and he was not surprised when he learned about it, which made people even more suspicious.

For a while, the three of them pondered and thought about it, and after a good time, the young man said: "Have you ever heard that if you let a person walk forward blindfolded, what he wants in his heart is to walk in a straight line, but when he actually walks, there will be a deviation. Chu Menglin said: "I've heard of it, but I haven't tried it, so what?

The young man said, "I haven't tried it, so let's try it." However, things are different, and the rules need to be changed slightly. He took out a rope from his cuff and said, "You don't have to be blindfolded, hold the rope to the wall and tighten it, hold the end of the rope, and keep moving forward, and I will observe from behind, and act accordingly, trying to find the right place to turn the corner." ”

Chu Menglin said angrily: "Liar, right? How can you see this? Why don't you leave yourself?" The young man also said angrily: "I told you, I want to find the correct position in the rear, if I walk with a rope, will you find a position?" Otherwise, you wouldn't have to say, 'How can you see this?' Hehe, if you don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"

Duoduo got along with the young man as he grew along, and slowly saw some ways, knowing that although he liked to talk back, he was just a slippery nature, but in fact he was a shrewd and capable person, not like Chu Menglin's unwarranted fault-finding. said: "You are by him." ”

Chu Menglin's eyes flashed gloomy for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay." He glared at the young man and said indignantly: "If you find it, tell me immediately, if you fail, see if I don't settle accounts with you!" The young man shouted from behind, "Hey, slow down, remember that the rope must always be attached to the wall!" and said to Duoduo, "My lord, one person is not as good as two, and you can help me keep an eye on it, and see where the rope is suddenly ...... It's not straight enough. ”

Dordor nodded, and the young man consciously explained: "This is the same as the principle of 'the authorities are obsessed', only by substituting another tangible and qualitative object into it, as a bystander, can we see the mystery. The young man said, "Enough, absolutely enough, haven't you seen it?" Actually, we were just trapped in a very small area, and we didn't have any signs and didn't feel anything, and then we didn't count the number of steps? ”

At this time, Chu Menglin's figure had disappeared, and the rope within the range of the firelight was still stretched straight. The young man said, "Go, follow." "Hold the top of the rope with your right hand and move forward slowly, then alternate your hands so that the rope remains the same.

After walking about eight or nine steps, the two of them saw at the same time that the rope in front of them was slightly concave inward, and since it was taut and forward, it must be the wall itself that was concave inward. The young man said happily, "This is it!" After speaking, his whole body was pressed against the wall, and his eyes were level, and he saw that from that place, every few steps, the rope was concave deeper, forming an arc that was flat to the right, and the angle change was very small, and when he stepped forward, he would see a straight line. So he said, "My lord, please take about three steps forward and help me draw a vertical line on the wall." ”

Duoduo took three steps as he said, pressed the stone tablet against the wall, and said, "Is this here?"

The young man squinted his eyes and exclaimed, "No, no, it's too much......! It's getting closer, a little bit forward...... A little more...... Hey, well!" he unleashed the rope and ran forward, explaining, "The wall should have been straight forward, but now it is concave in an arc that leads us to the right by confusing our eyes. The drawing tells us to walk on the straight, turn to the left, and it does the opposite. Because the drawing is never wrong, it says to the left, it must be to the left, this road has just revealed the seedlings that lead people to the right, that is, it is deceiving people, because it shows the first signs of the right, that is, the correct position in the drawing that should be facing left. Knocked on the wall and said, "As I expected, it is really hollow!" clenched his fist and struck all the way from the left side of the vertical line to distinguish the boundary between virtual and real, and made a few marks up and down with stone chips, took out a Luoyang shovel, dug it up at the base of the wall, and pretended to ask casually: "Find the right position, don't you need to try to inform Miss Chu?"

"Since this mechanism is a dead loop, when she takes a full number of steps and goes around in a circle, she will turn back here, and there is no need to bother." ”

The young man smiled and said, "That's what the adults said. I've been curious, I don't know what is the relationship between you and Miss Chu? I am honest, she is very, special, and extremely good to you, which is good and detached from the equality between lovers, but it is different from the maid's respect for her master, and it is clearly out of the love of men and women. If it is reasonable to say that she loves you so much that she loves you, your attitude here is completely confused, as if you don't care about her at all, and don't want her to die, but you still don't care, as long as she is still panting. Curiously, both of these attitudes come from the heart, not out of shyness. I guess below, could it be that you have a big event, or something very important, which is closely related to Miss Chu, and you can't do without her? Ashamed, ashamed, I am really confused, and I can't guess for a long time. ”

When Duoduo heard this, his heart sank, and he thought to himself, "This man must be really thoughtful!" Although the young man was humble and "did not know the point", he was actually to the point, and he barely said what it was. He always hated the idea of being seen through by others, and said sharply: "Don't you think you are too lenient?

The young man was buried in his work and did not answer, and Duoduo also felt that his tone was too harsh, and he only hoped that he would not be suspicious, and wanted to say a few kind words to ease the atmosphere, but he did not want to be condescending to a small tomb robber. It happened that Chu Menglin walked around and walked back from the other side, and was about to settle accounts with the young man, scolding him to vent his anger, but saw him holding a Luoyang shovel, digging a wall in sweat, and a small pile of soil had accumulated at his feet. walked up and looked at it, and said in disbelief: "You...... Is this a find?"

The young man didn't raise his head, and said, "Nonsense, otherwise I'll be in a hurry and shovel the soil? Isn't it fun to planing the wall? Do you want to have fun?" Chu Menglin threw the rope and said angrily: "I told you a long time ago, tell me when you find it, why do you have no news as if you died violently?"

When the young man heard her word "command", his heart was slightly stunned, and he sneered: "I didn't tell you, you haven't come back in a good way? Or pull the rope? This place is deceiving, who knows what is on the other end of the rope? If you pull back a headless female corpse and let me give her back that face on the wall, it's scary, isn't it?"

Hearing him laugh and take the blame off for himself, Duoduo felt a lot more relieved. Originally, since he dared to say it, he was not afraid that Chu Menglin would find out, but before he found out her life experience, he didn't want to make her angry.

Chu Menglin said angrily: "You're deliberately scaring people again......! Why do you always scare me? Isn't it funny?" the young man laughed, "Yes, it's funny, I used to live in the country, and I was the most adventurous with a group of sworn brothers, and I spent all day crawling around the village, and I practiced my courage very much. Although there are many ghost stories circulating in the mountains, we are not afraid to listen to them for a long time, so in order to have fun, we will make up some ghost stories by ourselves. It's a pity that I scare people, all of them are wooden faces, and only when I mention it to you, I get the biggest reaction and the most interesting. As he spoke, he stabbed a few more times with a shovel in his hand.
