Chapter 23: Nine Palaces
When I saw the ground under my feet, I couldn't help but gasp. I didn't even see such a nine-square grid. If this was a trap, I might have already lost my life as soon as I came in.
Immediately, I thought of the two straight characters and one straight character with only three strokes carved by my mother. Is there any connection between the straight characters and the nine-square grid under my feet?
Thinking of this, I walked to the edge of the straight character and sat down. To me, this straight character must have its subtleties, otherwise my mother would not carve something here for no reason. She must have wanted to record something.
thing, but if she really wanted to record the clues to the exit in the form of these regular characters, my mother would never carve them on the ground.
After all, Uncle Zhao planned to kill my parents. If the traitor sent by Uncle Zhao had not returned, he would have followed him into this place. If my mother really left the clues to the exit here, then
Isn't it equivalent to being willing to be someone else's guide and showing them the way?
In my memory, my mother is definitely not this kind of person. She has always taken revenge. I must have left this behind to confuse everyone's eyes.
Thinking of this, I stood up. Before, Da Zhuang had always seen me thinking about something and didn't bother me. But now when he saw me standing up, he quickly asked, "I said, Comrade Xiao Ke, are you thinking about how to get in?"
Is there a way to find a place? Tell me quickly."
I looked at Da Zhuang. This guy really regarded me as a god. There were fishmen behind these two walls and a strange deep sea in front. How could I know how to get out right away? Besides, my mother spent seventeen days on it.
I didn’t go out until three days ago. I’m afraid I won’t be able to figure out a way out in seventeen years.
Immediately, I asked Da Zhuang and Hai Xiang for three items with a certain weight. Da Zhuang had nothing but smoke and fire, while Hai Xiang took apart the waterproof flashlight he took out of the package.
I picked one up, divided it into three sections and handed it to me. I shook the disassembled flashlight in my hand. The weight was just right.
Then I asked Da Zhuang and Hai Xiang to walk with me to the corridor. When I asked them to go to the corridor, Da Zhuang immediately became unhappy, "What's the matter? You want to leave? Comrade Xiao Ke, if you want to leave,
Mr. Zhuang, I won’t go back with you right away. If we finally get here and leave so soon, wouldn’t it be in vain?”
When Haixiang heard what Da Zhuang said, he also agreed and said yes, and threatened to get something with Da Zhuang before going out.
After hearing what Da Zhuang and Hai Xiang said, I suddenly said helplessly, "Let's go? Do you think we can go back if we follow the original path? The mermaid must still be guarding the sea outside, and if we go out, we will definitely be eaten.
Come on, I asked you two to follow me to the corridor because I wanted to try to find a way out. Do you two want me to accidentally trigger the mechanism and end up dead in there?"
After listening to my words, Da Zhuang immediately pulled Hai Xiang into the corridor. Seeing them entering the corridor, I also entered the corridor and stood at the entrance of the corridor.
I am going to give the few orthographic characters left by my mother a try, but I have to test them with something. In this way, even if the trap is caught, it will still be an object rather than a person. If I try it myself, I will probably die without knowing how.
Da Zhuang saw that I was holding a three-section waterproof flashlight and didn’t understand what I was going to do. He immediately asked, “Comrade Xiao Ke, what can you try with just these few sections of a flashlight? You don’t want to exercise.”
Exercise, and then try to see if you can throw this flashlight into the sea across the way?"
When I heard Da Zhuang's words, I glanced at him and thought that he was not doing the right thing.
As for the three-section decomposed flashlight in my hand, I also have a use for it, otherwise I would never waste such a waterproof flashlight. After all, this is also our current resource. For the three orthographic characters, I used strokes to form numbers, which are
five, five, three
The floor of this ear room is paved with nine stone surfaces of the same size, forming a nine-square grid. I know a lot about the nine-square grid. It is said that it was invented in the Tang Dynasty, but I don’t know the dynasty where it actually originated.
, after all, after passing the Rakshasa Demon Palace, I no longer believe in history so much. After all, the winner is king. Only the winner can write history. Everything that conflicts with it will be deleted. This is the authority of the winner.
Looking at the nine-square grid in front of me, I recalled the clues left by my mother. If I want to open the exit, I must follow a rule, otherwise the so-called exit will not appear. And this rule must be three numbers. The clues left by my mother should be
I want to tell others that it is 553, but I don’t have much hope for this number, because I know my mother’s character very well. He will definitely think of Uncle Zhao and others coming in, so he should set up such a puzzle. Uncle Zhao and others themselves
Guess, I can plot against them then, but what my mother never expected was that I would come in afterward.
I held the three-section decomposed flashlight in my hand and prepared to throw it according to the number. I immediately threw it to the second stone brick in the middle row, because that position represented five, and then I threw another one to the stone brick.
flashlight, which represents the two positive characters in front, that is, 五五. Then I threw the last flashlight towards the third stone brick at the top, and only heard a soft sound of "dang", and then
No sound
Just when I thought I was wrong, I heard a "click" sound, as if I had heard that sound somewhere before. I immediately shouted "Get down quickly" and immediately I lay down on the ground.
I fell to the ground, and at the moment I lay on the ground, I only heard a whistling sound in the ear chamber. I squinted my eyes and looked towards the ear chamber, and suddenly I saw clear green shadows in the ear chamber.
Passing between the two walls, a big gust of wind blew up in the ear room.
Looking at the howling wind, I actually got some rusty smell from it. I guess the things that shuttled in the ear chamber must be arrows. This place is at the bottom of the sea, so it must be very humid, so those arrows should be caused by the sea.
Rust, coupled with the age, has caused the rust smell to become very strong
After a while, the whistling sound stopped, and then only a 'click' was heard. The small hole that had appeared on the wall suddenly disappeared, and the wall became very bright again, and no trace could be seen at all.
Seeing that the mechanism stopped, Da Zhuang stood up and said, "Damn it, how did this happen? What happened to you kid? Why did you shoot so many arrows? If we were in there, it would have happened by now."
persimmon"
Hearing Da Zhuang's words, I shook my head, "I did this test based on the clues left by my mother. I guess my mother wrote down the rules for triggering the mechanism to deal with those who are interested." At this point, I mentioned the three clues that were left by the interested people.
