Chapter Seventy-Two: The Second Floor

Unknown things are always more frightening, and the danger of suddenly approaching and moving away makes Zhang Xiaosheng very confused, and he has the heart to ask the calf, but looking at the calf's confused gaze, Zhang Xiaosheng's words can no longer be said as soon as they reach his mouth.

"This ancient tomb is really disturbing, if it weren't for the problem with my cultivation, I really don't want to get involved in this matter. Now not only is it separated from everyone, but there is also a danger that will come at some point in the shadows, neither advancing nor retreating, how would this be good, if only those who built the tomb would leave a map. Zhang Xiaosheng thought to himself, thought of this, shook his head again, and then said self-deprecatingly: "If there was really a map, the people of the General's Mansion would have found it a long time ago, and it would be the turn of a few of us to come to the tomb to practice." Besides, even if there is, it must be very hidden, and how can it be discovered by yourself!"

"No! Speaking of hiding...... Zhang Xiaosheng's mind suddenly flashed a spiritual light, "Maybe there is really a map!"

Zhang Xiaosheng had two patterns in his mind, that is, the patterns on the walls around the hall when he entered the second floor, and the patterns after the changes when the hall turned. The two patterns swirled and danced in Zhang Xiaosheng's mind, and finally gradually overlapped together, with the overlap of those complicated patterns, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared, and black lines gradually appeared in those complex patterns.

Although these lines are still twisted and criss-crossed, they are particularly prominent in those complicated patterns, and they are incompatible with those patterns, and they seem to be forcibly integrated into them, which can be distinguished at a glance.

Gradually, those complicated patterns dissipated, and finally only those black lines remained in Zhang Xiaosheng's mind. But these lines are too complicated, and it is difficult for Zhang Xiaosheng to see the information inside.

"If only it were simpler!"

Thinking like this, the black lines in his brain actually moved, many black lines gradually became blurred, and a winding black line was highlighted.

"What's going on? These black lines can actually understand their own thoughts, it's amazing!"

There was no time to sigh at the magic of these black lines, Zhang Xiaosheng's eyes were completely attracted by the black lines.

"Sure enough, the shape of the black line at the beginning is exactly the same as the route he walked on the second layer" Zhang Xiaosheng is almost certain, this line is the map of the second layer, carefully observe, the black line in his mind gradually enlarged, Zhang Xiaosheng found many familiar symbols around this black line, it can be seen that these characters and the symbols he just found on the wall have the same origin.

"Is it ?......?"

On the black line, I compared my current position, and sure enough, there was a familiar character marked there, which I had seen on the wall just now, but it was still a core character on the wall.

It seems that this is the case, these characters should represent the various dangers we will encounter, and the meaning of these characters must be related to the type of danger we encounter. ”

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng turned back to Xiao Niu and said, "Let's go, let's move on, remember to follow Uncle Shi!"

Now that he had the map, Zhang Xiaosheng no longer hesitated, beckoned the calf and started to set off.

Zhang Xiaosheng carefully walked along the black path in his mind, although he didn't know what danger the characters on the black line represented, Zhang Xiaosheng still cautiously chose other paths. Next to those signs marked with danger, there are often many paths, one of which is safe, although the safe path requires many more distances, but Zhang Xiaosheng still chooses the safe path in line with the principle of being careful.

Facts have proved that Zhang Xiaosheng's choice is correct, although the speed of the two has slowed down, but along the way, except for the occasional encounter with some vampire bats, the two have not encountered other dangers. In this way, he slowly approached the central hall on the second floor, and according to the black line, all the paths would eventually converge here, and according to Zhang Xiaosheng's speculation, the passage to the third floor should be here.

Along the way, although Zhang Xiaosheng held on to a hope, he could meet other people by chance, but although the result was disappointing, it was also expected, and now Zhang Xiaosheng and the two were about to approach the center of the second layer, and they still didn't see a single figure.

"It seems that we can only wait for them in the hall!" Zhang Xiaosheng said in his heart.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiaosheng really wanted to look for the big army, but according to the map, the more back they went, the more branches the road became, and if they rushed to find them, regardless of whether it was dangerous or not, it was the road that made Zhang Xiaosheng big, and there was no way to judge which one they would take. In that case, it is better to wait for them in the hall, and whichever path they take, they will surely meet in the hall at the end, unless they are all destroyed.

Although he was not sure about the others, Zhang Xiaosheng knew that Bei Mingyi would definitely be safe and sound, and those illusions might confuse him for a while, but they would definitely not bother him. What's more, there is also the eldest lady of the martial arts family who has a circuit map, Wang Dakui, who has a mysterious background, and the others are also not weak, although they will encounter some dangers, but most people should be fine. All you have to do is wait in the hall with peace of mind.

Turning the last corner, Zhang Xiaosheng and the two finally walked out of the second layer of the maze, and a hall could already be seen at the end of the passage, Zhang Xiaosheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately he found the line, otherwise the two would not know how long they would have to walk around before they could come out.

This hall is somewhat the same as the one on the first floor, but it is a little different. The same thing is: the area of the two is roughly equal, the surrounding is also inlaid with glowing night pearls, the surrounding walls are also made of irregular stone bricks, the narrow gaps between the stone bricks are dyed black, criss-crossing one by one, forming a more complex pattern, the dome is as neat as ever, all the terrazzo white stone bricks fit neatly together, and the light from the surrounding night pearls is softly scattered around.

However, in the center of the hall there is no big tripod like the one on the first floor, but instead there is a circular platform with a concave center in the shape of a round basin. The round platform is carved with strange symbols, and there are lines linked to each other, which seems to form an unknown formation. There are small pits evenly distributed in the lines, and when you count them carefully, there are as many as thirty-six, which is twice as many as the first layer.

Eight stone gates of the same size are evenly distributed around the hall, each of which leads to a road, representing a total of eight paths leading to the hall.

Zhang Xiaosheng and the two walked into the hall from the second stone door on the left, Zhang Xiaosheng looked around, and saw that everyone had not yet arrived, and it seemed that he was really the fastest.

Carefully observe the patterns on the surrounding walls and imprint them into your mind, which is related to your own safety on the next floor, and you must not be careless.

After a while, Zhang Xiaosheng deeply rooted these patterns in his mind, and then found a corner with the calf, meditating to recover his strength, while waiting for everyone to arrive......
