Now Xiaoxue stood on the spot, lit a candle, and tied the rope firmly around her waist. The position where Xiaoxue stood happened to be the first stone step with an irregular gap. Using this stone step as a reference, she took action.
It would be more convenient. Wu Jie was not sure whether it would work. Anyway, whether it worked or not depended on this last move. He was about to start, but was suddenly pulled by Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue took Wu Jie's arm and said to him:
"Husband, what if the rope breaks? You have to be more careful. We still have to live together for the rest of our lives. If something goes wrong, run back quickly and don't show off."
Wu Jie thought about it for a while but still felt a little uneasy, and then told Xiaoxue: "Xiaoxue, if you are scared, just close your eyes, don't look at anything, don't think about anything, I have everything. Just stand here and don't
Move, I'll go down from here. If you walk out of these broken stone steps, I'll use a rope to pull you out." Xiaoxue said: "It's okay, just don't worry, if there is any danger, just whistle, I will get you out no matter what.
Pull it back."
As long as the rope connecting the two people can exceed the distance of the twenty-three steps, this cycle of ghost steps should be able to be broken. Thinking of the imminent escape, both of them could not suppress the excitement in their hearts, Xiaoxue stayed where he was.
, Wu Jie pulled the rope and walked down. He held a rope made of coils of silk in his hand, and released a little rope with every step he took. When he went down to the twelve steps away from Xiaoxue, Wu Jie looked at a large rope in his hand.
Although he knew it was enough to tie up the rope, he still subconsciously calculated the distance and found that only half the distance was left. The rope was enough. Wu Jie silently counted the number of steps under his feet. As long as he exceeded the twenty-third step, he could return.
The strange Xianghun Tomb, can we really go back to where we were? At this time, it seemed that we suddenly became unsure again. There was endless darkness in front of us. The further down we went, the faster Wu Jie's heartbeat became, fearing that his expectations would get worse.
The greater the disappointment, the greater the disappointment. But we have come this far, so we have no choice but to bite the bullet and continue downward.
Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, the irregularly shaped mark appeared on the steps again, but the steps below have no end. It’s really a ghost. Wu Jie bites the bullet and continues walking. No matter what, he has to reach the rope.
Until there is no more.
The rope in his hand was getting shorter and shorter... Wu Jie was feeling frightened and was about to turn back. He didn't want to go any further. At this moment, he suddenly saw a little light appearing under the steps. Wu Jie walked down quickly, getting closer and closer.
Jin Yue was more surprised. There was a person standing below him, with his slender figure facing away from him, and a candle lit at his feet. The light Wu Jie saw above was the faint light emitted by this candle.
As he got closer, Wu Jie found that the person was clearly Xiaoxue who should be on top of him. She was standing on tiptoes, constantly looking down. After seeing clearly that it was indeed Xiaoxue, she felt extremely discouraged for a moment. It seemed that this method was the best one.
No, I had to walk over and said softly to Xiaoxue: "It still can't work, my wife." Xiaoxue was unprepared. Even though she was very powerful in reality, she was startled and rolled down the stairs. Wu Jie hurriedly reached out to hug her.
He grabbed her waist. Fortunately, Wu Jie's level was high enough and he used all his strength to prevent her from rolling down the stone steps.
"Honey, you scared me to death!" After seeing clearly that it was Wu Jie, Xiaoxue, who was limp in his arms, patted Wu Jie gently and said. Wu Jie held her in his arms and sat on the steps, untied the rope around his waist and said to Xiaoxue:
"No chance. It seems that our judgment is absolutely correct. This step is the chaotic zone on the edge of the Ghost Tomb. The space theorem does not exist on this step. It seems that we have to make another plan."
Originally, he wanted to say a few words of comfort to Xiaoxue, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out. In fact, he was also very upset now, and he really needed someone to say some words of comfort. This shabby twenty-three steps was really a waste. Damn it! No matter how generous the chaos is, it is still just a game. There is no reason why players can’t find a solution?
"Twenty-three, twenty-three." This number seemed to have been seen somewhere. Wu Jie reached out and touched the irregular mark on the stone steps, as if he suddenly caught a floating piece of water while struggling alone in the vast sea. Wooden board... After he thought about it, he slapped his thigh, which startled Xiaoxue. Wu Jie said to her excitedly: "I'm really dizzy. We were all blinded by this ghostly step! In addition to the chaos at the edge of the ghost tomb, Zone. It should also be a mechanism in the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, a strange trap designed with Yi Shu!" Since I saw "The Book of Changes" when I was learning formations from Mr. Liu, Gai Juechu Tai Chi produced Liang Yi, Liang Yi Yi gives birth to the four images, and the four images give birth to the Bagua. Therefore, the division of people into the east and the west is the theory of two rites, and the division of people into four places in the east and four places in the west is the theory of the four signs: Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, and Li. Kun, Dui is the theory of Bagua, which is the principle of nature created by the great way of heaven and earth.
At that time, Wu Jie was just out of curiosity, because one of his formation books contained the word "Escape", and the words "Escape" in the volume were all traps. China has admired Yi Shu since ancient times, so the strange situation they are in now The layout of Xianghun Tomb should also be inseparable from this method. Perhaps the inclusion of the real cultural essence of various countries into the game is another highlight of the game Chaos.
Wu Jie had studied it in detail. Now that he thinks about it, this twenty-three-story stone staircase seems to have a scientific name in reality. It seems to be called "Suspended Soul Ladder". This design principle has been lost for thousands of years, and many mathematicians have and scientists are obsessed with this. Some believe that this is a kind of digital hypnosis, deliberately leaving a mark or digital information to confuse the practitioner, while mathematicians believe that this is a digital model with a complex structure. When you are in it, you can see it. There is only one staircase, but it actually extends in all directions. The irregular-shaped mark is a trap. The mark is actually gradually deviating on the steps. In addition, these steps and stone walls may have been smeared with an ancient secret recipe - light-absorbing paint. , it makes it even more difficult to identify the direction. Once people pay attention to information such as signs, it will cause errors in logical judgment and lead people to think that they are walking in a straight line. In fact, they will go on a forked road without knowing it, and go in circles. In the end The sense of direction is completely lost. The steps are very small. It may be designed to give people the illusion of height difference, which makes people see it in vain!
Just like Zhuge Liang's Eight Formation Diagram during the Three Kingdoms, a few stones can trap Lu Xun and others with no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. Although there are only eight characters left, it is already so complicated and mysterious, let alone the formation. When the Western Zhou Dynasty was recorded in the Dharma book, there were still sixteen characters left in the world, and they were even more unpredictable. This kind of "hanging soul ladder" that seems extremely complicated in modern times was the most popular hexagram calculation and number calculation as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty. In that era, the ruling class had complete control over these secrets, which were no less than the top state secrets today. The hanging soul ladder may not always have twenty-three steps, but the number of steps to go out can be deduced based on this number. Unexpectedly, this Western Zhou Dynasty There is such a powerful trap in the Ghost Tomb. No wonder the wealthy people promised such attractive rewards when accepting the mission.
Most people who don't know the secrets of this will undoubtedly be trapped to death if they enter these stone steps. However, this time they encountered what Wu Jie has learned. Today, let's see his method of separation from the end of the world. Wu Jie did not bother to explain it in detail with Xiaoxue.
The secret was just to tell her to do what she did. Then she pressed the "Escape" scroll in the book of formations, used gravel to form the Eight Diagrams in a decent manner, exchanged twenty-three for Ziwu, and calculated the number of steps. It took a long time to figure it out.
This ghost stone staircase is cleverly designed using a natural cave. It is actually not very big. If there is a large group of people, the hanging soul ladder will not play any role at all. But there are only one or two people, and they cannot take into account the width of the hanging soul ladder. It is easy to get deep.
If you are stuck in it, unless you have enough lighting equipment and light a row of candles on each stone step, otherwise you just want to look for the diamond-shaped marks on the steps, which means there is no life or death. In addition, the materials of the stone steps
It is very hard, and it is difficult to make additional marks on it without sharp tools. No wonder the task level has reached SS level.
But if two people light candles, line up horizontally, keep a certain visual safety distance in the middle, contact each other every time they go to the next step, and go down slowly, if they see a fork in the road, they will do the entire step.
It took several hours to mark the steps, but there was still no way out. So Wu Jie and the others followed the plan and drew a sketch on the steps with their swords, marking each step on the map. If
When they encountered a fork in the road, they marked it. Sure enough, they found a hidden fork in the road not far down the road. They made big and obvious marks on the entire step, recorded it clearly in the picture, and then continued on.
.As we continued to stop and go, the recorded map became larger and larger, and indeed it was criss-crossed, like a huge butterfly wing shape.
Not long after, there were finally no more steps under their feet, and the two of them had returned to the huge stone coffin with a human face. This time it took a long time, and Xiaoxue might be very angry in her heart, so she just arrived at the human face.
Next to the stone coffin, Wu Jie couldn't help but take out her weapon and slash at the stone coffin. "Boom" The cover of the stone coffin with a human face shattered under her fierce attack. Seeing that she had finished venting, Wu Jie was about to pull him out.
As she continued to look for "ghosts", Xiaoxue screamed: "Ghost!..." Wu Jie was shocked when he heard this, and quickly looked towards Xiaoxue, only to see her covering her eyes with one hand and pointing in the distance with the other.
Looking at the place where the human-faced stone coffin was placed, Wu Jie looked towards the gesture, only to see a pair of skeletal hands slowly protruding from the human-faced stone coffin with the cover broken.
