As soon as the word "ghost" came out, although those people were a little uncomfortable with the scene of the black shadow appearing and disappearing, they did not agree that such an ethereal existence really existed in this world, so they all closed their mouths and stopped talking.
say.
The boy inside who had just witnessed it and warned us carefully approached us and asked in a low voice, "Girl, is that thing really a ghost just now?"
Regarding this personal cognitive judgment, I did not want to explain or argue any more. I just said slowly, "The end of science is often metaphysics. You cannot believe it or not believe it."
"I'm a little convinced, but I'm scared. I just want to ask, is there just one of these things in there, or do I know how many there are?"
At the last moment, I recognized the appearance of the unlucky earth sacrificial soul. He was wearing mountaineering clothes that were very similar to ours. His facial features had also been familiar to each other. It turned out to be the first time we wanted to steal from him.
Entering the ancient tomb through the cave, I walked to the one who was blocked halfway back.
It’s not surprising at all that he turned into an earth sacrifice soul. He came here to make money with great ambitions and dreams of getting rich. In the end, he was buried alive in a thief’s cave without touching anything. It was really aggrieved. This was probably that team of people.
Inside, there was one person who received the lunch box earlier.
"Hope is gone, but I can't guarantee it. After all, we are entering an ancient tomb. I don't know whether there were sacrifices buried in it, whether they were buried alive or dead, and how they were buried."
The student asked for a long time, and after asking about loneliness, he felt no peace of mind and became even more frightened. He could only turn around cautiously and continue walking forward.
The surrounding environment remained unchanged, repeating itself over and over again. In addition, the accident that had just occurred was not a pleasant accident. People in the team soon began to protest, and various ideas began to emerge one after another.
"Is this a maze? It's like a maze. Why have we walked for so long without any change? I can't see the end in front of me. Even if I exit now, I feel like I can't find my way back. Are we going to be trapped in it?"
"
"This distance is too long. I'm afraid the entire island is not that big!"
Indeed, after walking for this period of time, just counting the number of meters underfoot, the straight-line distance is no less than 20,000 meters. It may be an exaggeration to say that the entire island is so big, but it is absolutely impossible to be such a far distance.
"Captain Liao, if this continues, everyone will be exhausted and have no strength. Keeping going like this is not an option!"
I suddenly thought of the staircase I took before that went upwards, and the stairs under the stone balls on the floor of the passage seemed a bit similar to this one. I had just witnessed the wisdom of the ancients about mastering optical refraction in the hall where the epitaphs were placed.
, gave me a weird feeling.
That is, this is not a ghost wall, but another place that uses optical and construction principles that deceive the human body's sense of direction to create a corridor that goes straight down and turns back and forth.
Lang Hongyi and I walked quickly from the back to the front, where Captain Liao and the others were, and whispered, "Those people's psychological defenses can no longer bear it. Let's take a rest here while I look around before continuing."
You still have to go, but you also have to decide how to go.
Captain Liao didn't have any objections to my words. He stopped and said to everyone behind him, "Everyone, please rest where you are for a while and replenish some food and water. We will continue after a while."
When those people heard this order, they all shut up and did not dare to lean against the walls on both sides. Instead, they sat in the center of the aisle.
Uncle Yan and Miao Miao came out from behind and sat next to us. Most of the people in the small group were here. But the honest Xiao Zhao was dragged by Gao Kun to be with Professor Chen and the others. He didn't have the nerve to come to us.
.
Captain Liao also had his own worries and whispered to me, "Sanman, what they said seems to be reasonable. This corridor is really weird."
"Not only is it weird, I also had the illusion that we have been walking repeatedly, but I did an experiment. I used the copper plates I had on me to suppress evil and hung them on the candlesticks on the wall. Those unclean things wanted to do something.
I would never dare to touch them, but I have never seen those candlesticks that I marked, which proves that we have not made the same mistake again."
"That proves that we have been walking, but why can't we reach the end?" Miao Miao also had some doubts that there really is such a long corridor here.
"Do you know the theory of the same space? It means that we are indeed walking, but we are not always moving forward, but turning up and down at the same latitude. It is very likely that we are connected end to end."
"That's not right. We have been walking for so long without turning or going uphill or downhill. How can we say this?"
Miaomiao was confused by what we said now. Fortunately, Lang Hongyi completely understood what I said. He gave a simple example.
"It's entirely possible. I understand what Sanman means. This should be a closed three-dimensional staircase, going around and over, like a snake with a curved body, connected end to end."
Miaomiao finally understood what it meant. She was a little worried, but she didn't dare to say it loudly so that others could hear it and cause panic. She came closer to me and asked, "Aren't we trapped here and unable to get out?"
I didn't answer Miaomiao's words, but took out the compass that had failed before, trying to see if it would be useful here. In this three-dimensional ladder game, only by finding a fixed direction and finding the location of the Shengmen can we find a way to find it.
way out.
But the result still disappointed me. The pointer on the compass was still the same as before, it kept wandering around without any pattern.
Lang Hongyi noticed the state of the compass in my hand and asked worriedly, "Is there any alternative?"
I pondered for a while and thought of another simple method that I could try.
"Which of you has a bowl of noodles in your bag?"
Miaomiao is a snack foodie. She immediately took out a bowl of noodles from her bag and stuffed it into my arms. She said a little embarrassedly, "I just brought one because there was no hot water down there, so I was going to chew it dry. Are you hungry?"
I’ll give it to you to eat, it might not be easy to swallow.”
I was amused by her cut-off expression, so I opened the package of instant noodles and stuffed the noodles and seasonings directly back into Miaomiao, "I just want a bowl, and I'll let you chew the noodles so you don't choke."
With the container and water in the bowl, I pulled out a needle from my body, pricked my finger as soon as I closed my eyes, and gently placed the blood-stained needle on the water.
The strange thing is that the needle did not sink to the bottom of the bowl, but floated quietly on the water. The needle tip was still slowly adjusting its direction to a position behind the preparation.
"What's the principle of this?" Miaomiao gnawed on the noodles and stared at the bowl of instant noodles in my hand with her big eyes blinking out of curiosity.
But I really couldn't explain the principle of this, so I could only say helplessly, "Just think of this as a folk remedy. It was passed down by the old man. This way you can also find Yin Qi."
In fact, what is the reason? My blood belongs to the highest yang. The principle of mutual repulsion between yin and yang is the same as the mutual repulsion between the north and south poles. Since we are looking for the location of the tomb’s true owner, it must be where the yin energy is strong, and the needle nose is naturally located.
