Chapter 24: The Windmill Labyrinth, Necrophile (7)
Only then did he nod and said, "I see, kill two birds with one stone." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "The crowd was busy asking why. Nangong Yu explained: "The designers of the labyrinth were afraid that someone would forcibly dig up the fake door with tools, so they installed a metal layer inside. If my guess is correct, the twelve stone gates on the 'windmill' are equipped with this metal layer. Lao Zhangtou frowned and said: "That means it's all dead ends, it's impossible for us to get out?" Nangong Yu smiled: "No, the twelve gates of the 'windmill' can all be dead doors or trap doors." This designer should be a good observer, he added a command when designing the 'windmill', and every time we open the mechanism, it will affect the position of the flap, just like we open a stone path twenty-four times in a row, and then open it twelve times in a row, and each time the sequence is recorded by the 'windmill', it will not exit to us. That is to say, it is guessing our psychology, calculating which slate we will open next. Because we only have a 1 in 12 chance of failure, the probability of failure is higher, and that number of times is enough for the windmill to 'analyze' our next plan. ”
Everyone was dumbfounded, and Xiao Zhang exclaimed: "I heard that the imperial tomb was stumped, but I didn't expect it to be so fantastical, I would like to believe that it was a ghost hitting the wall." Could it be that the 'windmill' has become a refinement? Is it comparing intelligence with us?" Nangong Yu said: "It's not that complicated, it's like eating wine and guessing coins, and the guessing master can figure out the opponent's habits after a few rounds, and even guess what he will do next time." The same goes for the 'Windmill', which only adjusts based on the route and number of times we open the trap. I believe that the designer must have a 'cracking order', for example, after the mechanism is completely closed, the upper slate opens three times, the lower layer opens once, and the middle layer opens four more times, and the exit will appear, but we don't have this order, so we can only fight luck. The scary thing about this mechanism is that even if you can see through it, it won't necessarily be broken. ”
Lao Zhangtou muttered: "Then how is the conversion of the trapdoor realized?" Nangong Yu pointed to the tomb door and said: "This door can be retracted, when the real tomb door appears, it will press this door to the ground, it is usually sealed, and it will be unsealed as long as the mechanism is activated." ”
Everyone understands this, but the question also comes, how to fight this "guessing" mechanism. Lao Zhang said: "In this way, this labyrinth can't trap us for a lifetime, and one day we can get out." But we only have two days left for food, and the water is about to run out, and if this 'windmill' is too smart, or if we are too unlucky, we will probably be trapped for a long time, and we may die of thirst and starvation. Even if we find a way out at that time, it is impossible for our physical strength and spirit to continue to move forward, and to put it bluntly, we are still walking around the edge of the tomb, and we have not even seen the accompanying tomb. ”
Tan Mian said: "Is there a way to see the real way out?" Nangong Yu shook his head and said: "We don't know who the designer is, so we can't guess his character, so we can only gamble on luck." All of us write a 'upper, middle and lower' opening order, and then press and execute it after it is scrambled, so that there is no psychological guess, we don't know which one will be driven next, and the 'windmill' can't guess. Wei Mei sneered: "If I were the one who designed the mechanism, I would design it so that only the correct opening sequence can open the real door, and the wrong one is the door of death, and there will never be a way out." Nangong Yu nodded and said, "There is such a possibility." "If that's the case, then we spend a long time and effort looking for a long time, to gamble on a one-twelfth chance, it may still be a dead end, we don't even know right or wrong, when is the head?" In my opinion, it is better to use explosives to break the door, no matter what mechanism is triggered, it is up to fate." ”
Nangong Yu said: "Although I don't know who the designer is, I feel that he will give us a glimmer of hope." With the intelligence he had to design the 'windmill', it would have been a no-brainer to design some traps that would have killed us in the tomb. But aside from the fire toad that came in unexpectedly, we haven't encountered a deadly mechanism yet. What is certain is that if we try to force our way through the tomb, we will inevitably trigger a deadly mechanism. Xiao Jiu's kicking and breaking the coffin is an example, not to mention that you want to go directly to blow up the tomb door. No one knows what is outside the door of the fake tomb, and what if it is also a dead end? Our only chance to survive is to follow the rules of the designer's game to crack it, and there is only one way to live. Yu Mei said: "Then what is the reason why he didn't kill them all?" Nangong Yu: "I can only guess." He was a smart man and loved talent. This mechanism is a question he gave to future generations, and he hopes that someone who is equally smart will see through and crack it, and this smart person will be his bosom friend. Yu Mei laughed and said, "Then are you his bosom friend?"
Nangong Yu smiled and said: "Only his mind and knowledge of organ learning are already admirable." Wei Mei said: "It seems that he has really found a bosom friend, then we will give it a try according to your method, if we can't find a way out after two days, we can't sit still, how about fighting with gunpowder?"
Nangong Yu suddenly smiled: "In less than two days, we can go out today, I have already thought of a way." Everyone's eyes lit up and their expressions were a little excited. Xiao Mei smiled: "Sure enough, it's a bosom friend, let's talk about it." Nangong Yu said: "The method of shuttling through the upper and lower three floors is currently only through the slate mechanism, which can only be activated one at a time, and the other slate slabs must be protected in a closed state, which only has a 1 in 12 chance of success, if we can enter and exit the three layers without passing through the slate, we can try three lines at the same time, then the chance is 1 in 4." Xiao Zhang immediately understood, and said with great joy: "We can make holes in the stone road, each layer of stone is not thick, and it will be built soon, leave this to me." Nangong Yu said: "When digging a hole, remember to hit it behind the stone slab, if you hit it in front, it may destroy the mechanism that connects the stone slab to the 'windmill'." Xiao Zhang said: "I understand, I went to work." ”
With hope, there is spirit, and everyone started to steal holes, and in less than half an hour, the upper and lower floors were opened. Nangong Yu sighed and said, "You can start gambling on luck, life and death depend on this one." They began to keep trying, this time from the middle level, and every time Zhang activated the mechanism, they climbed up and down through the robbery hole to inspect the three burial chambers.
Perhaps they really didn't deserve to die, and while trying the third round, they opened the tomb door in the upper chamber. At that moment, everyone cheered loudly with joy, and even Tan Mian, who was not smiling, breathed a long sigh of relief, the feeling of being reborn was as if he had just been released from death row, as if he had forgotten that they were still in the ancient tomb and had not yet approached the center of the royal tomb.
After the tomb door was opened, he entered a closed space, illuminated it with firelight, and saw that the position was higher than the tomb, and there were several stone steps at the edge, and after walking down, he found that there were two parallel tomb doors in the same place, the middle door was facing the tomb, and the south door was lower, and it was necessary to walk up several steps. They immediately understood that these three gates were the three gates of the stone path, and any of them could become trap doors, and the end point was this tomb.
The tomb was four times the size of the fake tomb, with walls covered in colorful frescoes and permanent lamps in the corners. Lao Zhangtou glanced at the ever-bright lamp and said happily: "This is a specially refined fire oil, which is like mud when it is not burned, and can be stored for thousands of years, as long as it is melted, you can hold the lamp." So they melted the oil and lit the wick with fire. The burial chamber lit up immediately. The strange thing is that there is no other thing in the tomb except for a coffin of golden silk nanmu, and there are no funeral goods.
Lao Zhangtou frowned and said, "It's strange, someone has already been here, and the funeral goods have been taken away." Tan Mian asked Zhu Shuang, "Could it be your people who did it?" Zhu Shuang shook his head and said, "I don't know." Tan Mian said: "As long as the Fire Dragon Ball in the main tomb is still there, it doesn't matter." Lu Zhongjing said: "They must have other ways to enter the tomb, in case they take the Fire Dragon Ball away in advance, won't our hard work be in vain." Tan Mian smiled: "The Fire Dragon Ball is not just to be taken, at most, they just move the treasure." Lu Zhongjing and He Qiuhua glanced at each other, thinking that if we can't share the treasure, what is the point of us here.
