Zhou Sheng reacted very quickly and quickly turned around in mid-air. With a slight flip, he landed lightly back on the floor where several people were standing.
This change was obviously beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone looked at each other, and Liu Ruyan was the first to speak: "No one touched this box."
With the lessons learned from the past, everyone is monitoring each other this time, and naturally it is impossible for anyone to touch the box secretly without being discovered.
However, there are only the two boards close to the floor where everyone is standing.
Now that both floors have been destroyed, it is difficult for them to walk up.
The only way is to go back down to the board you just came from, and then climb up from the other direction.
Naturally, everyone was aware of this problem, Liu Ruyan said: "Then I'll go down first and let's change the road."
"Wait!" Zhou Sheng's voice stopped Liu Ruyan.
Zhou Sheng asked: "Can you reach the floor at three o'clock?"
The height of this floor is basically the same as where they are currently standing, but the straight-line distance between the two is more than two meters. Even people with strong jumping ability are not guaranteed to successfully jump to this kind of floating wood in the air.
One place.
However, Liu Ruyan replied without hesitation: "No problem."
The training that the dead soldiers underwent made their physical fitness slightly better than that of ordinary people.
Now, after Liu Ruyan received the inheritance of the wind lineage, not only her physical strength has increased, but in terms of jumping, she can also use the power of the wind to increase her momentum in mid-air.
Xiao Zhang frowned slightly and said, "Even if she can do it, we can't do it. How about we go back to the board below and go another way?"
Zhou Sheng shook his head slightly and said to Liu Ruyan: "You may need to untie the rope, jump to the board at three o'clock, and return immediately."
Liu Ruyan still answered without hesitation: "I can."
For her, the height of three meters does not make her fearful and affect her mobility. The safety rope tied around her waist is an obstacle.
"Wait a minute, this is too dangerous!" Xiao Zhang couldn't help but said.
But before he finished speaking, Liu Ruyan had already thrown away the rope, made a beautiful take-off movement, and jumped towards the three o'clock direction.
She turned halfway in the air, landed lightly on the target floor, then tiptoed again and jumped towards their direction.
This time, Liu Ruyan moved smoothly.
For a moment, Xiao Zhang even thought he was watching a gymnastics performance at close range.
No matter in terms of figure, lightness or strength, Liu Ruyan is almost comparable to gymnasts!
It wasn't until Liu Ruyan fell steadily back to the floor where everyone was standing that the chain at the three o'clock position broke, and the floor also fell down, making a loud noise that echoed in the strangely decorated tomb.
"You, did you know early on that the chain would break?" Only then did Xiao Zhang finally follow Zhou Sheng's train of thought.
Liu Ruyan explained: "The mechanism connected to this box is turned on, and its effect is probably related to gravity. Whichever floor the gravity changes, which chain will break."
If the previous two broken chains were not enough to verify this conclusion, then Liu Ruyan's experiment this time was enough to prove it.
In other words, if they cannot solve the mechanism on the box first, they will be completely trapped on this side of the floor, unable to move!
Because except for the floor under your feet, it will not break due to changes in gravity, and other boards will be scrapped no matter which board you walk on.
Xiao Zhang couldn't help but said: "Since you knew this early on, how dare you untie the rope and try it, just in case..."
"Nothing goes wrong, I know I have this skill." Liu Ruyan replied calmly.
It seems that he is confident because of his own ability, but he also seems to be just telling unimportant facts.
However, Liu Ruyan's heart was not as dull as her face at this moment, but she was slightly excited.
Zhou Sheng just asked her to do the experiment, which was undoubtedly his recognition and belief in her strength. This feeling of being trusted by Zhou Sheng has always been very useful to Liu Ruyan.
She silently made up her mind that after returning, she must work harder to study the skills of the Wind Vein and put them to more use for Zhou Sheng!
While Liu Ruyan was answering Xiao Zhang's doubts, Zhou Sheng had already squatted down and carefully looked at the treasure box in the center of the floor.
Although this treasure box is inlaid with gold wire, the main body is not metal.
He took out the unused acid and gently dripped it into the corner of the box.
A burst of white smoke rose, and a faint pungent smell spread into everyone's noses.
The material of the box is obviously different from the door just now. Although there are signs of being corroded by the acid, it has only become charred black and cannot be easily penetrated by corrosion.
However, at this moment, the floor beneath Zhou Sheng and the others suddenly shook!
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang were so frightened that they quickly hugged their heads and almost curled up and squatted down.
After all, after seeing so many floors fall, they were worried that the board under their feet would also face the same situation.
Even if the four people are connected together at this moment, there is no way to avoid the tragic situation of them doing free fall together. Junqu Pavilion
However, the expected free fall did not come.
With the sound of chains swinging, the floor under their feet began to slowly move forward.
At the same time, many floors on the field began to move under the traction of chains.
Liu Ruyan looked up and finally saw the true face of Lushan on the ceiling!
It turns out that without the mid-air floor blocking the view, there are actually countless small pipes on the ceiling!
The top of the chain is connected to a small gear. The gear slides in the pipe, like a cable car, moving the floor under everyone's feet.
This floor is more than ten meters high from the ceiling to the bottom. The pipes on the ceiling are intricately intertwined, like a maze, making it difficult to distinguish the trajectory of the floor.
However, after seeing that the box was destroyed and the chain on the floor had not fallen off, Zhou Sheng became bold and forcefully broke the lock on the box!
Lying in the treasure chest is a roll of bamboo slips, which is brown in color and bright in color. It seems to be made of good quality bamboo.
Although the outside of the box was covered with dust, the bamboo slips inside were as clean as new, and there was no trace of the fact that they had been stored for so many years.
Zhou Sheng took out the bamboo slips and opened them carefully.
The length of the bamboo slip is limited, and there is only one sentence engraved on it in traditional Chinese: "I examine myself three times every day, am I being kind to others?"
"Is this a printed version of the Analects of Confucius?" Xiao Zhang asked doubtfully.
However, upon seeing this sentence, Zhou Sheng immediately thought of the name of the original mural, "Questioning Chapter".
Could it be that this is what the so-called question chapter is asking?
