Chapter 21: Round Sky and Place
Chapter 21 The sky is round and the place is round
"Oh, that's what Master Bai said. Isn't there a door? Let's find a way to open it. Maybe we can find a way out." Jiang Qianfeng's thinking was no different from that of ordinary people. He said it was as if the car must reach the mountain.
It's as simple as having a way.
Bai Wuyan laughed and said, "I feel like this talismaned door is a trap and can't be opened at all. You see, the two doors are integrated. There seems to be a gap in the middle. It's almost like they are in the middle."
The pattern carved on the wall is just a fake door, just a hoodwink."
Yao Jingli also took a closer look at the door on the wall and agreed with Bai Wuyan's judgment, so he changed his mind and asked: "In the direction you are going, have you found any place where there may be a way out?"
"What we found on both sides was similar. They were both dead ends, with only one rock wall dripping with mountain spring water." Jiang Qianfeng answered first.
Yao Jingli couldn't help but feel discouraged after hearing this, but she still didn't want to give up any possibility, so she said: "Then let's walk along the stone gate in both directions to see if it is connected to the rock wall you mentioned. There is something in between.
There isn't any passage or secret passage."
Others also felt that there was no better way at the moment, and thought they could explore again. This time, everyone did not split up, but walked to the left along the stone gate. Not long after leaving the stone gate, the stone wall on the right changed.
It has become a natural rock mass with no artificial traces, and some mountain spring water has begun to drip down.
At this time, Bai Wuyan suddenly suggested: "If you walk down like this, you won't know where you are going. If the rock wall is all one piece, if we keep walking, we might end up back the way we came. Otherwise, we should just follow the path.
Let’s go to the straight groove on the inside. If we guessed it correctly, if we see it as a straight groove from both directions, then there must be a point where the two straight lines intersect. Let’s find that point first, and then check the corresponding nearby ones.
Rock wall."
This guess was quite convincing, so everyone followed Bai Wuyan's suggestion and found the linear groove, and continued to explore to the left along the linear groove. When everyone was finally approaching the end of this linear groove, they found another
A straight groove meets it, forming a square right angle.
Bai Wuyan asked everyone to rest and wait here for a while, and started from a right angle to explore the boundary again. As expected, the boundary here is also the same dripping rock wall, but this one shows a natural arc, and can be seen
The top of the rock wall sloped inward. Seeing this, Bai Wuyan guessed that this was an internal canyon in the mountain. It was simply a natural cave. In this case,
It should be difficult to find an exit from the surrounding rock mass, so Bai Wuyan had no choice but to return in frustration.
When Bai Wuyan and the others met again, he still couldn't help but wonder. There were obvious traces of human existence here. The stone bridge, the stone gate and the grooves on the ground. Could it be that this was just an altar? But the wandering soul had obviously already
I feel that there is a tomb from the Wei and Jin Dynasties here. Where is the entrance?
Just when Bai Wuyan was still at a loss what to do, Yao Jingli suddenly said: "Oh, by the way, Brother Bai, I suddenly have a guess about the issue you were arguing about before." Yao Jingli suddenly had an idea.
"Well, let me know what you think."
Yao Jingli straightened her dress, slowly squatted on the ground, and gestured with her fingers on the ground while saying: "Brother Bai, when you mentioned the intersection of straight lines and grooves just now, I have been thinking about it, and now your statement has been verified.
, then my association may be true. If we look down from the top of our heads, the straight grooves under our feet just form a square half-frame, and aren’t the runes we just saw on the wall also square?
and a circle, so I wondered if there would be another half of a square border. But you said that the other side is an arc groove, which probably constitutes a half of a circular border. I thought about the same thing. Now we
Will there be another half of the circular border here? Think about it, this does not conflict. If there is a corresponding circular border here, it should be on the inside of the square groove. Why not verify it first?
?”
After hearing this bold conjecture, Bai Wuyan seemed to be struck by lightning. The ancients paid attention to the round sky and the square. It was definitely impossible that the square groove in this place was only half. How could he not notice it?
Bai Wuyan was stunned for a moment, and immediately pulled Yao Jingli to explore inside the right angle. Suddenly when they came to a place, a faint smell of kerosene floated under their feet. Bai Wuyan leaned down to take a closer look. It turned out that this
As Yao Jingli had guessed, there was a narrow arc-shaped ditch next to it, which was filled with kerosene. Jiang Qianfeng must have been too hasty in finding the way, so he just stepped over it without paying attention at all.
Before Bai Wuyan could react, Yao Jingli, who had also discovered the situation, had already taken out the fire seal and ignited the fire oil ditch. The flames spread in arcs to both sides.
The fire gradually grew stronger, and finally became stable. The fire extended to the other side of the stone bridge, illuminating the entire space in this area at once.
Jiang Qianfeng saw the fire and rushed over. He ran and shouted: "Master Bai, suddenly there is spring water pouring in from the groove here. Should we go to the other side to have a look?"
Bai Wuyan couldn't help but think after hearing this. It seems that igniting the flame triggered some mechanism, so water was introduced into the groove. Wait a minute, the fire here spreads to the other side. The same thing happens if this side is concave.
If there is water in the groove, it will definitely flow to the corresponding arc groove on the other side. The blending of water and fire will form a complete round sky. It is incredible. Thinking of this, everything seems to become gradually clearer.
So Bai Wuyan said to Jiang Qianfeng who was running over: "Let's go directly to the stone bridge and have a look. Since there are dead ends everywhere except the way we came from, will the way out appear at our feet?"
