Chapter 17 Take the initiative
Yang Xueli immediately asked, "What is the 22nd year of Zhenguan?"
"I know, I know!"
The big gold teeth finally had the opportunity to show their performance and immediately said excitedly: "The heavenly stems and earthly branches are in the year of Wushen."
Yang Xueli said with some doubts: "Are you sure?"
"Of course, sure, Mr. Hu, if I say it wrong, I will die here today!"
Although Big Gold Teeth was swearing, Hu Bayi subconsciously looked at Zhao Shucheng. Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Yes, Master Jin is right."
Following Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi, they rotated the armillary sphere together. After landing on Wushen, the three tracks quickly turned, and the entire tomb also rotated. It took about half a minute before the rotation stopped.
Hu Bayi said: "No, it's not here. We should have missed something."
"The new book of Tang says that Li Chunfeng's armillary sphere instrument has three layers inside and according to the standard foundation, why do you have two tracks?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "This third item corresponds to the twenty-eight constellations."
As Zhao Shucheng said that, he found another track hidden and aimed at the corresponding constellation. Only then did the tomb room calm down.
But soon everyone discovered something was wrong. Yang Xueli pointed to the ground and said, "What is that?"
Zhao Shucheng glanced at it and said, "Everyone covers his mouth and nose, or uses towels and clothes as gas masks. This is mercury."
I saw mercury flowing on the ground, climbing up to the pillars, and even slowly appearing on the top of my head, presenting pictures.
"What?"
"These are twenty-eight constellations, which means let's choose one of these twenty-eight."
Wang Kaixuan was confused when he heard this and said, "Choose one of twenty-eight, how do you choose this? I obviously want to kill us directly, but I still asked us to choose an answer before we die."
Zhao Shucheng was happy and said, "Fatty, we don't die so easily. Besides, choosing one of the twenty-eight is not a casual choice. I have already chosen it just now, Dousu, where is the Shengmen."
The fat man was a little unbelievable. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the sound of the mechanism turning from the tomb. The door just now closed directly, but another tomb door opened.
"Is this still a trap?" Fatty Wang said hesitantly: "Li Chunfeng is still a Feng Shui master. This mechanism looks one after another, and it is almost like a master of the mechanism."
"Let's go, this is not the end, but it looks like the starting point. According to Li Chunfeng's style, there are mechanisms below."
Several people walked through the tomb door and came to a row of stairs. Both sides of the stairs were empty, as if they were in a passage in the abyss.
"Master Hu, where is this place? Why is it so dark? Look at the two sides, is it deep?"
Wang Kaixuan looked down at the bottom, and his feet were a little weak. After all, the bottom was pitch black, and the flashlight could only shine one or two meters below, and the rest could not see his five fingers. He was a little afraid of heights, but now he was even more panicked when he saw this and dared to stand in the middle of the stairs and walk forward.
Hu Bayi also frowned and looked at both sides of the passage. It didn't look like an abyss, but why was it so deep? If there was really an abyss below and how did the ladder be trimmed? It couldn't be flat at the beginning, but then hollowed out the bottom? What a large project volume? Li Chunfeng could really build such a large project by himself?
Zhao Shucheng threw down something casually, but he didn't hear any movement for a long time. The others became even more nervous and said, "My mother, is it so deep?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is not an abyss below. The reason why it looks deep is just to use our visual illusion."
Seeing others looking at him with some confusion, Zhao Shucheng said: "The bottom is not as deep as you imagine. It is just light-absorbing paint, which makes people look unfathomable. The purpose is to make us mistakenly think that this is an abyss, and the only passage we walk in the abyss, so we can't think whether this passage really exists, or even is that long."
"If I'm not mistaken, the layout here is the Soul-Suspension Ladder."
Fatty Wang and others asked curiously: "Soul Ladder, what is this?"
Hu Bayi looked at Zhao Shucheng in shock and said, "Master Zhao, are you sure it is the soul hanging ladder?"
Fatty Wang looked at Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi in confusion and said, "No. Lao Hu, what did you tell Mr. Zhao about the soul-suspending ladder? What exactly is it? Apart from being a little taller, I don't think there is anything terrifying?"
Hu Bayi glanced at Fatty Wang and said, "The Soul-Suspended Ladder does not mean that there are ghosts and gods, but rather a strange mechanism, just like a ghost hitting a wall. If there is no way to crack it, the people who come in will keep walking here forever, forever."
Fatty Wang didn't expect Hu Bayi to say so seriously, and said nervously: "Since you know what kind of soul-hanging ladder, there should be a way to crack it? Old Hu, Mr. Zhao, we can't die here, we haven't enjoyed life yet."
Zhao Shucheng said speechlessly: "Fatty, a small soul-suspending ladder, do you think it is difficult for me and Lao Hu to be together?"
"You guys are waiting here, I'll talk about it again."
Zhao Shucheng is actually very curious about the Soul-Suspension Ladder. After all, you don’t encounter such a wonderful thing in life, and it would be a pity not to experience it.
As Zhao Shucheng walked towards the front, although the others didn't know what Zhao Shucheng was doing, they stood obediently and waited for Zhao Shucheng to come back.
But two minutes later, Zhao Shucheng appeared from behind them, which scared Wang Kaixuan.
"Master Zhao, why are you coming from behind?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "This soul-hanging ladder is indeed interesting. If it weren't for someone with a heart, it would be difficult to find the problem."
"No, Mr. Zhao, what's going on? Tell us about it." Da Jinya asked anxiously.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This Suspension Soul Ladder, also known as the Penrose Ladder, is a very famous geometric paradox. When you walk forward or backward, you will never end. On the surface, you see people walking upward or downward on the stairs, but in fact you keep spinning on a horizontal plane."
"I just counted it. From the beginning of my departure and until I returned here, there were 384 steps in total. On the surface, it seems nothing, but if you follow the algorithm of the Zhouyi Bagua, Tai Chi produces two yin and two yin and four yin and four yin and eight yin and eight yin and eight yin and eight yin and eight yin and eight yin and eight yin and six yin are generated in total, which corresponds to these 384 stairs."
"Looking at the steps under our feet, each step has less obvious changes in light and darkness, and you can also simply distinguish them by yin and yang. Dark colors are yang and light colors are yin."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "But there is the simplest solution, which is a method that ordinary people will never use."
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng led his group to the front. When he walked a downhill road and was about to start uphill, Zhao Shucheng jumped directly into the abyss next to the stairs without waiting for the others to react.
The others were not prepared and were startled by Zhao Shucheng's actions. They immediately looked down nervously. Wang Kaixuan even shouted: "Master Zhao, why are you so unconscious? What should we do if you leave?"
After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng couldn't help looking at the above in disgust and said, "Fatty, what's the matter? What can I do? If you can't think about it, I won't be able to think about it. You can get down too, it's not high here, and the way out is here. But you must jump from where I got down, as it's not safe elsewhere."
When the others heard Zhao Shucheng's voice, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and they were really worried that Zhao Shucheng would be unable to think about anything.
Since they knew that Zhao Shucheng had nothing to do, they naturally jumped down, and they were still a little nervous. But after they really jumped down, they realized that it was indeed not high, only more than two meters. If it weren't for the darkness below, they would have discovered the problem long ago and jumped down directly.
Of course, if you can't find the right position and jump directly, you may jump directly into the real abyss on the side, which will kill people.
After several people met, Zhao Shucheng took them for a while, Wang Kaixuan said, "Master Zhao, have you taken the wrong path? Isn't this still a soul-suspending ladder?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and pointed at the front with a flashlight, saying, "Fatty, what have you seen?"
"What? Either a step or a step, what else?" Wang Kaixuan said indifferently.
But Yang Xueli said: "No, there is no light-absorbing material here, you can see a long distance, and we have already walked out."
Wang Kaixuan and Da Jinyashang were relieved and followed Zhao Shucheng forward. After three or four minutes, they reached the end of the steps and entered a cave.
Wang Kaixuan saw the situation in the cave and said, "No, are we back? Why do I feel like we are back in the mysteries?"
Da Jinya said, "Okay, Fatty, it's good enough for us to get out of it. Even if we return to the mysteries, it's better than being trapped in it."
However, soon everyone made new discoveries. They painted some paintings on the rocks of the cave, including the layout of the soul hanging ladder and the schematic diagram of the mechanism of the tomb above, which looked like the armillary sphere had been laid flat.
Now everyone was even more sure that there was a soul hanging ladder in it and the tomb chamber was moving slowly, so it gave people the feeling that the exit had disappeared.
However, they did not delay here for too long and continued to move forward for a while. At a fork in the road, Zhao Shucheng discussed with Hu Bayi and chose one of the roads and walked over.
After a while, the group walked out of the cave and came to a huge cave. It looked like a huge square and was filled with stone pillars.
At the end of the square, more than a hundred meters away from the entrance of the cave, you can see a temple-like building.
The others were very happy to see the palace and thought that this was where the palace was located, so everyone finally found it.
Zhao Shucheng looked around and said, "Be careful, this is another territory with black faces and black faces. Or it can be said that we have arrived at the bottom of the black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and black faces and
When the others heard Zhao Shucheng say this, they couldn't help but look around nervously, but didn't see the black-faced cave, and said, "Master Zhao, have you guessed wrong?"
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "That's right, and it's already here!"
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng pulled out the long sword from his backpack and stared at the back of the group. The others were also shining with flashlights, and then he saw a huge spider walking out from behind.
If the spider before was more than one person in size, this one was the size of a car, and even with its claws caught on the rocks on the ground, leaving small holes.
"Master Zhao, why is this spider so big? What should we do? It would be great if there was a gun, and it would definitely be able to kill it." Wang Kaixuan said nervously holding the engineer shovel.
Hu Bayi also took out the engineer shovel nervously and said to Zhao Shucheng: "Master Zhao, let's go together this time!"
Zhao Shucheng looked at Shirley Yang who took out the Vajra umbrella and said, "Okay, you three can protect yourself. Such a big spider may all become a spirit. I don't want to save you when I deal with it myself."
Zhao Shucheng carried a long sword and walked towards the direction of the black and black man. He was alert all the way to avoid being entangled by its spider silk. If such a big spider is really attacked with spider silk, Zhao Shucheng cannot guarantee that he will not be entangled, and it will be difficult to break free at that time.
The spider seemed to feel that Zhao Shucheng was not easy to mess with, but he did not choose to retreat, but instead rushed towards Zhao Shucheng.
Zhao Shucheng naturally didn't say anything nonsense. He flew directly under the spider's body, and used a sword to cut the spider's belly, making it impossible for him to spray the spider's silk hard.
The next thing was much simpler. When facing the attack of the spider's eight legs, it seemed like it was playing. It easily cut off the spider's eight legs, leaving it stuck in place without moving.
When Hu Bayi and others saw Zhao Shucheng deal with the big spider, they immediately said excitedly: "Master Zhao, it's so awesome!"
Zhao Shucheng said: "This is nothing. Let's hurry up and enter the Nether Palace. After a while, other spiders will notice that they will catch up, and the danger will be great."
Hu Bayi and others nodded and said, "That's true. When we enter the Palace of Underworld, we don't have to be attacked from both sides and can resist the attacks of these spiders."
Zhao Shucheng knew that things were not that simple. Not to mention whether there were traps in the Nether Palace, these spiders probably would not approach the Nether Palace, but would only stay outside and wait for Zhao Shucheng and the others to come out.
However, I didn't tell Hu Bayi and the others last time that it would be of no benefit to make them feel scared. After getting the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, it would not be difficult for Zhao Shucheng to lead them to a bloody path.
