Chapter 43 There is no cave

I saw Yang Zhan suddenly exerting force against the stone wall, but except for the roaring sound, the stone wall still stood still. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Yang Zhan didn't care about this, and continued to slap at the stone wall, but it was still to no avail. Bursts of sound could be faintly heard outside the mountain, and the women in Tsing Yi guarding the door were faintly frightened.

"Sister, don't be afraid, the labyrinth is made of mountain stones, even if that person is skilled, he can't help this stone wall. A woman in Tsing Yi said proudly.

What the woman in Tsing Yi said is true, this labyrinth was originally hollowed out of a mountain, and the stone wall inside itself is part of the mountain, how can the palm force break it?

Yang Zhan tossed in the maze, but he was also tired and out of breath.

At this moment, a voice came from the maze, and it turned out that it was time to deliver food. Yang Zhan looked around, except for the stone wall, there was no trace of anyone, but it was also very strange. But soon a basket tied to a rope hangs from the air, containing a simple bowl of food.

Yang Zhan had repeatedly hit the stone wall before, consuming a lot of physical strength, and now he was already hungry, so he didn't hesitate to take the meal and devour it. But Yang Zhan only took the first bite, and he had no appetite anymore. It turned out that there was not a drop of oil and water in the meal, and there was no salt in it.

"The people of this Xiaoyao Palace really don't eat the fireworks of the world. Yang Zhan sighed in his heart.

Just when Yang Zhan was frowning, he saw that the basket was collected by the rope volley. Yang Zhan looked up, and couldn't help but feel a surprise in his heart. It turned out that there was a hole above the side of the labyrinth, and from here the daily meals were transported in baskets.

"There's a hole in there, maybe you can get out. Yang Zhan said overjoyed.

But when Yang Zhan flew to the entrance of the cave, he was disappointed again. I saw that the entrance of the cave was very narrow, only enough to accommodate a basket, and although the stone walls on both sides of the cave were not too thick, there was a sleeve made of fine iron fastened around it, which could not be opened by the power of the palm.

Yang Zhan stretched out his hand again and patted the area around the cave entrance, but found that the stone walls around him were much thicker, and they were definitely beyond the reach of manpower. The entrance to the cave was set so exquisitely that Yang Zhan was really disappointed.

"Since this is a place to imprison others, naturally there will be no opportunity to take advantage of it. Yang Zhan said helplessly.

Although he couldn't get out of this hole, with it, Yang Zhan could finally see the outside world, and perhaps this was the only benefit of discovering it.

Yang Zhan retreated from the entrance of the cave, although he had no appetite at all, but in addition to this bowl of rice, there was only a pool of water left in the maze to drink, so Yang Zhan patiently ate it in a big gulp. The labyrinth is so quiet that you can almost hear your own heartbeat, and in such an environment, people usually have only two reactions: one is fear, and the other is adaptation. Yang Zhan just belonged to the latter, and after he finished eating the bowl of rice, he rested against the stone wall in a daze. The quiet and cool environment is the most suitable for sleeping, and Yang Zhan felt comfortable as soon as he lay down, and then fell asleep deeply.

I don't know how long I slept, Yang Zhan suddenly got up in a hurry.

"I must not waste my time here. Yang Zhan said vigilantly.

Looking around, the labyrinth was still dim, and there was no trace of the passage of time at all. Yang Zhan couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, because if he stayed in such an environment, he was afraid that several years would pass before he knew it. Thinking of this, Yang Zhan couldn't help but climb to the small hole to look at it again, after all, only there could he feel where the time was.

The scenery outside the entrance of the cave is the same, except that the light is dimmer than before. Yang Zhan looked at the rice bowl on the stone again, and then he was relieved.

"It turns out that today has not passed. Yang Zhan said with a sigh of relief in his heart.

Yang Zhan then secretly had a plan in his heart: first, he wrote down the number of times he delivered food at the entrance of the cave, so that he knew how long he had been in this labyrinth; then he began to find his way in the labyrinth, although it was difficult, but if he didn't look for it, he would only wait for death; and finally, he would often go to the entrance of the cave to see, so that he could always perceive the outside world and not be assimilated by the dark environment of the labyrinth.

Yang Zhan then tried to find a way around the waterhole, but the road either returned to its original place after a stone wall or was dead. Yang Zhan finally found a path that could go further, but when he turned back, he had no direction at all. If it weren't for the guidance of the sound of dripping water in the waterhole, Yang Zhan didn't know where he would go.

Yang Zhan was very depressed in his heart, thinking that he was going to die here, there were a thousand unwilling, and in a fit of anger, Yang Zhan smashed all kinds of palms on the stone wall. There was a rumbling sound from the stone wall, and a few pieces of rubble peeled off.

Yang Zhan looked at the stone wall intently, as if he suddenly remembered something, and turned around and left. I saw Yang Zhan check the stone walls he had hit with his palm one by one, and sure enough, he found that there were stones on it that had been shaken off by the force of his palm. Yang Zhan stopped again to listen to the sound of dripping water in the waterhole, and then laughed happily.

It turned out that Yang Zhan wanted to take the sound of dripping water in the waterhole as the origin of the direction, and then hit the stone wall and gravel as a mark, and only took one trace along the road where the sound of dripping water walked, and if it couldn't go, he would take one more trace when he came back, and make a mark on behalf of the direction. In this way, a lot of wrongful paths can be reduced.

It's time-consuming, but it's the only way to get out. There were suddenly bursts of sound in the labyrinth, and the woman in Tsing Yi guarding the door outside the maze only said that Yang Zhan was trapped inside and went crazy, and over time she got used to it.

Yang Zhan concentrated on finding a way out in the cave, but the structure of the maze was really complicated, and he finally returned after several attempts. Yang Zhan had no choice but to sigh softly, lamenting that he was unlucky today. But he was determined to try every path in the maze, so Yang Zhan didn't have time to be discouraged at all, so he immediately went to find a way out.

Yang Zhan kept encountering a dead end, and kept returning and looking for it, and finally tried to find a way that could go very far, although at the end of the road was a wide stone wall, not the stone chamber he saw when he entered.

Yang Zhan was surprisingly happy, because it turned out that this method worked, and he only needed to investigate in four directions, southeast, northwest, and would definitely be able to find the way to the stone chamber. Moreover, the side of this labyrinth with a hole does not need to be explored, because it is so close to the mountain and obviously not where the stone chamber is located, so the workload is a little smaller.

Yang Zhan then retreated to the waterhole and looked in other directions. Although most of them still encounter walls from time to time, with the successful departure just now, Yang Zhan is full of confidence. I don't know how long Yang Zhan has been in the labyrinth, and I don't know how many times he has walked the wrong way, until he felt hungry and returned to the waterhole, he lay down tiredly.

Yang Zhan looked at the shiny hole and hoped that a basket of food would come down, but he didn't see it for a long time. At this moment, Yang Zhan recalled the white-flavored food that he disliked, and could only laugh bitterly and laugh at himself: "Yang Zhan, Yang Zhan, you are now a prisoner, and you are still so picky." ”

Saying this, Yang Zhan felt much more relaxed. Since the basket of food has not come down from the entrance of the cave for a long time, why don't you go to the entrance of the cave to see the hour? Yang Zhan then climbed to the entrance of the cave and looked out, but saw that the clouds were rising outside the cave, and the white dew was desolate, and it was already the next morning.

"Turns out I've spent another day here. Yang Zhan repentantly said.

Indeed, Yang Zhan has been searching for a full night since he started exploring the path yesterday, but the cave was originally dim, and he couldn't tell the difference between morning and night.

Yang Zhan was about to come down, but suddenly found that on the opposite cliff, there was a white shadow dancing. Although it was a little far away, she vaguely recognized Yan Qisu who helped her intercede in the hall that day, and she was getting up early to practice swordsmanship at the moment.

I saw that in the thin white mist, Yan Qisu fought with a sword in the wind, sometimes swimming lightly, sometimes flying in the air, and the white gauze and white scarf suddenly blended with the white dew, like a fairy, it was really wonderful. Yang Zhan felt that there was no murderous aura in her sword moves at all, but that graceful posture of flowing clouds and waters seemed to be as elegant as dancing.

Just when Yang Zhan was looking at the obsession, Yan Qisu suddenly stopped, and then turned around and left straight. Yang Zhan stayed at the entrance of the cave for a while, but he didn't see her come out to dance the sword, so he had to climb down in disappointment.

"The swordsmanship she danced was really beautiful. Yang Zhan said silently in his heart.

Reading and reading, Yang Zhan fell asleep peacefully. After a lot of effort last night, it was time to take a good rest. Yang Zhan dreamed all the way to the scene of Yan Qi dancing with a sword in the wind, which was exactly the same as what he had seen before.

"Deliver food!" Suddenly, there was a shout from outside the cave, which woke Yang Zhan up.

Yang Zhan recalled the scene in the dream just now, and only felt guilty and uneasy in his heart.

"Since I promised Yukikage that I would go back to her, I should have no distractions. Yang Zhan couldn't help but slap himself as he spoke.

"Are you going to eat, are you going to eat?"

Yang Zhan was already a little hungry at the moment, how could he let the food in his hand be taken away? Yang Zhan stepped forward to grab the basket, took out the food, and put yesterday's bowl into it.

The food was still free of oil and salt, but Yang Zhan felt that it tasted much better than before. Maybe he's hungry, maybe he's used to it, maybe he's just in a little better mood today.

After eating, Yang Zhan was afraid that he would forget, so he hurriedly carved a scratch on the wall, representing another meal from the entrance of the cave.

"It's morning, and as long as I watch the entrance until dark, I can make sure how many times a day they're delivering, and then I know how many days I've been here. Yang Zhan said silently in his heart.

It was right to do so, because he couldn't keep a watch at the entrance of the cave all the time, so he couldn't know how many days had passed. Only this regularly delivered meal can calculate the date.

After Yang Zhan finished eating, he couldn't sleep anymore. Because he remembered that it was early in the morning from the entrance of the cave, and he had to maintain the habit of doing things during the day and resting at night, otherwise even if he went out one day, he was afraid that he would not be used to it. Thinking of this, Yang Zhan hurriedly looked for his way again. But this time, Yang Zhan did one more thing than yesterday, that is, after looking for it three times, he went to the entrance of the cave to take a look at the scene outside, so that he could know the time sooner or later.

It wasn't until the scenery outside the cave was dark that Yang Zhan stopped today's work, and then carefully calculated: I received two meals today, one in the morning and one at dusk. Today, I found a total of two paths to the cliff.

Yang Zhan thought about it like this and fell asleep peacefully. I don't know how long I slept, Yang Zhan woke up, and hurriedly climbed to the entrance of the cave to see the time, but saw that the sky outside the entrance of the cave was slightly bright, it should be very early. Yang Zhan was about to come down and squint for a while, but he vaguely felt that between the vast white mist, there was someone dancing on the opposite cliff. Although he couldn't see clearly this time, the change in movement couldn't escape Yang Zhan's eyes.

"It must be the young palace master. Yang Zhan said silently.

Yang Zhan couldn't help but look at it again, but it was still white in front of him, and he was somewhat disappointed.

"This young palace master is really diligent, and he has come to practice his sword so early. Yang Zhan read silently again.

But as soon as I finished reading it, I regretted it again.

"What does it matter to me whether she practices swords or not? Yang Zhan, you just have a lot of things. Yang Zhan scolded secretly.

Yang Zhan then retreated from the entrance of the cave and silently swore that he would never go to the entrance of the cave again in the morning. But as soon as he retreated from the hole, he felt so bored that he couldn't even lift his spirits to find the way. And the scenery outside is so fascinating, Yang Zhan can't help but climb back to the entrance of the cave, and naturally he can see the scene of Yan Qisu's light posture on the opposite cliff. This look was always fascinating, and it was not until Yan Qisu left that Yang Zhan climbed down regretfully, scolding himself in his heart.

When a basket hangs down from the hole, it means that a new day has arrived. Yang Zhan quickly finished eating, and then began to find the way again. In the next few days, Yang Zhan really avoided going to the entrance of the cave in the early morning to watch, naturally he had a lot less thoughts, and finding the way became smoother. According to Yang Zhan's feeling, he should have found all the roads that could be circumvented in the north, there were four in total, all of which lingered and reached the thick cliff.

"From tomorrow onwards, I will look to the east, and when I have finished looking in the east, I will look to the south, and I will surely find a way out. Yang Zhan thought in his heart, and excitement arose.

The maze but the scene in the east is completely different from the north, there are many fewer dead ends, but there are more forks in the road. In terms of layout, I am afraid that it is much more complicated than the road in the north. Yang Zhan didn't care about this, but continued to find it according to the previous method. After a few back and forth, Yang Zhan suddenly saw that there was a mark he had written on the wall, and then he understood: although the road here is passable, it is criss-cross each other, and after going around in a big circle, he actually returned to the same place. Even though the walls were full of markings, they were useless.

"How can this be?" Yang Zhan said in disbelief.

But that's just the way it is. Although this labyrinth has four directions, the interior has already been designed extremely ingeniously at the beginning of its construction, and naturally it has also taken into account the possible escape methods of the people trapped inside, but Yang Zhan has not given up yet.

Yang Zhan had no choice but to retreat and silently think of a better way.
