Chapter 179: A Mountain Obstructs the Eye
"How to travel through ten palaces in an instant?" Wan Wuwei's chin almost dislocated...org
"Don't be so surprised." I said slowly, "You who know the truth may scold me for spilling coins."
"Can I scold me in advance?" Wan Wuyu said.
"Don't worry, you have to eat rice one bite at a time, even flies should not be an exception." I said leisurely, "Next, let's start explaining the link..."
(Unfortunately, Wanwuju wisely did not answer this question.)
I pasted the big map onto the wall, and I took out the bamboo pole and pointed it out.
"Look at it, suppose we are in the Golden City now, and the purpose is to go to the oasis in the middle of the desert, how should we go?" I asked a question.
"Walk with your feet? Riding a camel? Riding a mule and horse? Roll over? Carrying over?" Wan Wurei guessed quickly.
"Of course I left straight!" I announced the answer, "Will you go around Qizhou first and then turn back?"
After saying that, I drew a straight line between the two locations.
"The straight line between two points is closest. I will teach you the problem that private schools cannot teach today." I said happily, "But what if there is another condition? If we start from Golden City, we don't carry water or containers, but if we don't drink water for a day, we will die of thirst, so we must find a water replenishment point every day - assuming these rocky mountains are water replenishment points, then, if you want to go to the oasis, how should we go?"
"In other words, every time we set off, our goal must be a hydrating point within the range of our day..." Wan Wuyu frowned, his eyes kept on the map, and seemed to be very interested in this issue.
"You won't really be counting." I waved the bamboo pole, "The point is that under such restrictions, we can't go straight, and the final route we take is likely to have to spend a lot of circles and various twists."
While saying that, I used a chalk pen to connect the rocky mountains on the map.
Every time you connect, you must choose the nearest rocky mountain.
The reason for connecting like this is because I have long figured out the excavation rules of underground tunnels - the principle of proximity.
Under the limitations of the agency's technology, it is better to dig multiple short tunnels than to dig an ultra-long tunnel.
Since this is the case, the self-running demon palace, which uses underground tunnels as its action guide, will naturally walk according to the same rules.
Of course, there are multiple tunnels dug under each rocky mountain.
But based on the number of rock mountains we passed by, the direction before the Demon Palace, and the overall terrain of the Great Desert, it should be like this...
Wow, wow.
Soon, a complete self-running Demon Palace action route was connected.
As soon as the road map was finished, Wang Ziyun's eyes lit up: "So that's how it is."
"What's that?" Wan Wurei didn't understand.
"Look at this, here!" I knocked on a certain point on the map with a bamboo pole.
"Is this... a turn?" Wan Wuyu said in confusion.
"That's right, and it's a huge bend." I said, "At this point, the Demon Palace almost had to walk around the entire rock mountain before it could adjust its position to the next rock mountain."
"So what?" Wan Wuyu still didn't understand.
"Bridge, the bridge I just mentioned!" I emphasized.
"You mean... to treat Rock Mountain as a bridge, and walk on Rock Mountain faster than walk on the outer wall of the Demon Palace?" Wan Wuyu said, "But that's it, it won't be much faster."
"It's faster than you imagined." I smiled.
"How is that possible?" Wan Wuyu said unconvincedly, "The rock mountain we usually see is two or three hundred feet long. Even if it flies flat, it will take a lot of time, let alone chase the Demon Palace?"
"Of course the length is two or three hundred feet, but what about the width?" I asked slowly.
"Width?" Wan Wuyu was stunned.
"Let me explain it." Wang Ziyun stood up, "When it comes to Rock Mountain, it always feels huge, but it is actually just an illusion - due to long-term erosion of wind and sand from the northwest, all Rock Mountains have become extremely thin and long, usually no more than thirty feet in width. If you can look down from the sky, you can find that the Rock Mountain is not like a mountain, but rather a bit like a thin and narrow bridge."
Speaking of this, Wang Ziyun stopped.
He doesn't need to say anything more.
because……
"I understand!" Wan Wuyu stomped his feet, "So when the Demon Palace walked around the Rock Mountain, we saw all the rocks, which seemed to be blocked by the thick mountain - in fact, we were only thirty feet away from the Hall at that time!"
"Yes, the truth is so simple." I spread my hands and said, "As long as the light skills are not bad, I will probably have more than enough time to run a few round trips."
"This..." Wan Wuyu was about to speak, but suddenly remembered something, took several steps back, and sat down on the ground in depressed manner.
"How is it? I'm not sure if you are satisfied with this explanation?" I looked at Wan Yushen with a smile.
"Satisfied, of course I am satisfied." Wan Yushen was not surprised at all, "but, although I, Wan, had no fame, had also been given a jade plaque by the late emperor. I did not kneel down when I saw the official and did not punish me. You just want to take such a big crime on me with just a few words? Hehe, I'm afraid it's not so easy."
As he said that, he showed a white jade plaque as crystal as snow.
"This is the real thing." Wang Ziyun frowned.
"What's the use?" I asked.
"It's useless, it's just that you can't torture and confess." Wang Ziyun said, "You must have real evidence to be asked for the crime."
"Yes! Yes!" Wan Wure suddenly jumped up like a chicken blood, "Who can't talk nonsense with your eyes closed? Have the ability to show evidence!"
"Evidence? It's in his stomach." I frowned, "He must still swallow the disguised corpse of Meng Yulong in his stomach."
"But you can't torture confessions." Wang Ziyun reminded, "Unless he is willing to vomit it out, we can't do anything."
"You are the Regent, so you can't make the example?" I said.
"What he is in his hand is a jade plaque given by the late emperor, which is unbreakable." Wang Ziyun shook his head.
"It's really difficult to do this..." I held my arms, kept paced back and forth, muttering something.
"Is there any evidence?" Wan Yushen stretched, "There is no evidence, I have to go back to my room to rest."
"Let's wait!" I reached out to stop, "I have something to say."
"Tell me, let's break up after all." Wan Yushen smiled and seemed to be not worried at all.
"I said so much before, all I said were the methods of committing crimes." I cleared my throat and said, "But have you ever thought about why Wanda Guanren wanted to kill Meng Weisi and General Fei?"
Yes, why?
Everyone has this question in their eyes.
