Which way should we take first? Lin Peiyao asked again.
Zhan Chen replied: Let's start with the path on the left first, and then try one by one clockwise and mark it. In this way, we can even outline an aerial view of the entire maze.
Then let’s act separately, it will be more efficient, Kong Mengjia suggested.
Zhan Chen immediately objected: No, this will cause obstacles in our connection, and we don't know whether there is a mechanism in this maze of reincarnation. If we act separately, we will easily lose our way and become separated, so
We cannot be separated; on the contrary, we must try to stay together.
Kong Mengjia nodded and praised: Zhan Chen, you are so thoughtful.
Let's get started right away.
So, Zhan Chen and others began their journey of exploration, and they began to explore a way out as planned.
But we got off to a bad start right away. We encountered several dead ends and had to turn back. We even went very far on one path before we found out that it actually didn't work, and we wasted a lot of time.
However, repeated attempts and hard work finally paid off, and they gradually began to penetrate deeper into the maze.
However, just as they were struggling to find a way out, new changes came unexpectedly. Zhan Chen and others suddenly heard loud rumbling sounds coming from behind them. They couldn't help but look back. That scene shocked everyone.
Everyone was shocked.
It turned out that a wall right behind them was moving at this time, quickly cutting off their retreat.
What's going on? Lin Peiyao asked in shock.
Zhan Chen's face darkened and he said: I'm afraid we are in big trouble and this maze will change on its own.
Isn’t it unsolvable what to do? Lin Peiyao asked.
There must be a solution, and if we are to reach the temple, we must find a way out.
So what else should we do?
There's nothing we can do now. We know too little about this maze. Let's try it around first. Zhan Chen said, not sure.
Humph, there is nothing we can do in the end, Lan Jianmei sneered.
Zhan Chen was really worried at this time. Hearing Lan Jianmei's cynicism, he was a little annoyed, but he still forced himself to hold back his anger. There was no need to argue with this unreasonable woman now. The top priority was to find a way to break through.
.
In the next three months, Zhan Chen and others explored the maze, but it seemed like an unsolvable puzzle, because every once in a while, the maze would always change, and after each change, all paths
Just follow the changes, and the time and energy they spent before were wasted, because the old experience can no longer be used, and to get out of the maze, they can only start to explore new methods.
This maze is like a huge quagmire, making Zhan Chen and the others sink deeper and deeper. Gradually, they can't even find their way back. What's worse is that restlessness is growing in everyone's heart, even in the end.
The optimistic Kong Mengjia began to lose his temper often.
What should I do? Time is passing day by day. Unknowingly, more than half a year has passed. There is not much time left for me. There are only more than two months left before the final opening of the temple. In such a short period of time,
Can we get out? Zhan Chen thought silently.
Now he has long passed the stage of anxiety, because he knows very well that anxiety cannot solve any problems, and there must be a way to solve this maze, but he has not found its rules.
By the way, are the changes in the maze of rules really chaotic? No, I have to be quiet and analyze the clues we have so far. Maybe the key to breaking the situation is already in my hands. Thinking of this,
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in Zhan Chen's mind. He immediately stopped, caught the flash of inspiration, and fell into deep thinking.
Seeing him stopping again, everyone was curious and stopped following him.
Kong Mengjia was about to step forward and ask him, but was stopped by Lan Jianmei at the side, and couldn't help asking: Senior sister, what's wrong with you?
Lan Jianmei replied: Didn't you see that guy Zhan Chen was thinking about the problem? Maybe he found some clues.
Oh, senior sister, how did you know? Could it be that you are the roundworm in his belly? Mengjia teased.
Lan Jianmei gave her a hard blow, which made the latter rub her forehead in pain, and asked with a look of grievance: Senior sister, what are you doing?
Lan Jianmei's cold mouth slightly twitched, revealing a hint of a doting smile, and replied: I'm telling you to talk nonsense. She paused and said: Don't look at this guy Zhan Chen. Although he is not a good person, he has a good mind.
Even so, there were several times when the problems we encountered were not all solved by him.
Senior sister, I think you look at people through colored glasses. Apart from Zhan Chen, who is not very talkative at ordinary times, he is the best in terms of looks and strength. I think only a man like him is worthy.
A genius like my sister
Okay, you still dare to talk nonsense, be careful I don't beat you to death. Lan Jianmei just wants to stretch out her jade hand and teach her little junior sister a lesson.
At this moment, Zhan Chen suddenly raised his head and said excitedly: I thought of it
One word startled all the three women, and they asked in unison: Zhan Chen, what did you think of?
I thought of a possible way to crack the secret realm of reincarnation. Zhan Chen's eyes shone with wisdom, and his mouth showed excitement.
Tell me quickly, what is it?
Zhan Chen did not answer their questions directly, but asked: Remember carefully, how often does the maze of reincarnation change?
The three women were lost in thought, but Lan Jianmei was the most thoughtful and answered first: "About an hour."
The other two women immediately said with certainty: It is indeed an hour.
Zhan Chen then continued his analysis: You recalled well. I have carefully compared the time. There are twelve hours in a day, and the Secret Realm of Reincarnation changes once every hour, which means it changes twelve times a day.
Zhan Chen, I don't understand, what does this have to do with cracking the maze? Knowing the number of changes, isn't there still no solution? Lan Jianmei couldn't help but ask.
Zhan Chen smiled slightly, as if he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand, and said: That's good, we might as well do the experiment.
What test
First, determine what time it is now.
It's Yinshi now, what's wrong?
Now we will first walk forward for a distance of 500 meters, and then everyone must remember the conditions along the way, and then we will return here.
Zhan Chen, is there any truth in this? Lin Peiyao asked.
You should do as I say first. Anyway, at least for now, I still don't have a clue on how to get out, but as long as I do this experiment, maybe everything will become clear.
Everyone had no better way, so they had to do what Zhan Chen said first. After coming back, they even drew out the route they took.
After the Yin hour passed, the maze changed as expected, and at Mao hour it looked completely different. So Zhan Chen asked people to walk through it again and draw a route map for the Mao hour.
At Chen time, Zhan Chen asked everyone to repeat the above activities again.
After several times, everyone got a little bored. Lan Jianmei was the first to break out and asked: Zhan Chen, what are we going to do next? Do you want us to go again at this time?
Zhan Chen smiled and shook his head and said: That's enough.
So what do we do next?
wait
when to wait
Wait until tomorrow.
Is there any point in doing this?
I'm not sure yet, I'll know when the time comes.
Humph, I refuse to tell you. I really don’t understand what kind of medicine you are selling in your gourd.
Zhan Chen did not answer her question, because everything was based on his own speculation, and it was useless to explain to them at this time.
When the time comes, let the facts make it clear. Now, all he can do is wait, wait for the day to pass, and wait for the moment when the truth comes out.
He simply sat on the floor and began to recharge his batteries. Seeing this, the three girls had no choice but to let him break the pot. It turned out that they wasted a lot of time on this maze.
Time flies by so fast, and one day has passed in the blink of an eye. When time reaches Yin again, the layout of the maze begins to change as usual.
At this moment, Zhan Chen suddenly opened his eyes and stood up from his seat.
At this time, the three women also stood up after him, and Lan Jianmei even asked: Zhan Chen, it's time for you to reveal the answer to the mystery this time.
Zhan Chen said: I want everyone to witness
He took out the layout plan of Yinshi that he had drawn before, and started walking five hundred meters according to the layout plan, while the three women followed him.
However, their expressions became more and more exciting, because they discovered that the route they took yesterday was exactly the same as today's.
Zhan Chen then said: Everyone, let’s wait for another hour to see if today’s maze route map at Mao hour is the same as today’s.
The three girls looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all nodded. They had vaguely guessed what Zhan Chen was thinking.
When the time came, they started from the same place and groped forward for a distance of 500 meters. As a result, excitement was written on everyone's face.
Because it turns out that the layout of yesterday’s maze was the same as today’s
Then Chenshi tried it again, and the results were exciting.
At this time, the conclusion is ready to come out. Zhan Chen concluded: Everyone should be clear. The three experiments fully demonstrated that although the maze is changing every hour, there are only twelve total changes.
Zhan Chen, you are so powerful. How did you guess it? Kong Mengjia asked happily.
Zhan Chen smiled slightly and said: The main reason why I can guess the answer to the riddle is that yesterday I suddenly remembered the name of this maze, the Maze of Samsara. In fact, the Zhenwu Taoist had already told us the method of solving this maze early in the morning. The word reincarnation.
Doesn’t it just tell us that the changes in this maze are cyclical and repeated?
It was only then that the three women suddenly realized that this was the case.
Now that he knew the principle of this maze, there was only one thing left to do, and that was to get out of here. This time, Zhan Chen was finally full of confidence.
