Chapter 11: The Art of Circumvention

Li Lvyan showed an expected smile, "The Qimen Dunjia mechanism technique of the ancients is indeed well-deserved!" It turns out that what the female ghost in white said, what we have fallen into is nothing else, but a huge deception that can deceive the eyes!

"Hey - are you okay - how much longer do you have to walk - if you go any further, you'll hit your butt."

Li Lvyan waved to Wo Gua, who quickly ran back in a hurry, "What's going on, what's going on? Did you find anything?"

Li Lvyan smiled, "Now the correct answer has surfaced. The remaining problem is that we lack a pen that can write the correct answer."

At this moment, Li Lvyan and Black Glasses were selective and focused, looking for flaws in every suspicious place, but after searching for a long time, they still found nothing.

Wait, wait, Li Lvyan pressed his forehead: Why did the previous group of people have to bury the dead people in two completely symmetrical coffins? There must be a way to get out here, but they must do something before they can get out, otherwise they won't be able to get out. What is that thing?

Knowing that Li Lvyan was currently looking for a good solution in his mind, he was holding his breath, and Black Glasses unknowingly looked at Li Lvyan with admiration.

After Wo Gua understood the whole truth, he couldn't help but get angry from the bottom of his heart and kicked the wall hard. "Liu Jing is such a coward. He is so bad. He actually created such a looping technique to conceal the truth. If it hadn't been for the fat man's lies." I really couldn’t find anything when soaking in urine!”

Li Lvyan said, "In order to prevent their afterlife residence from being disturbed by tomb robbers, the ancients often went to any lengths to trap us in such a situation so that we do not realize that we are actually going in circles. In the final analysis, if If we don’t come in, this game will have no effect at all.”

That's right, what the three of them fell into was not the so-called phantom corpse monster, but the Qimen type in Qimen Dunjia, which is called the Heaven-hiding Loop Technique.

At the beginning of Qimen Dunjia's creation, there were a total of 4320 rounds. He assisted the Emperors Yan and Huang to defeat Chi You, and was awarded the title of General after the Feng. The lengthy 4320 rounds were compressed into 1080 rounds. By the time of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Shang had to march and set up formations. It was further compressed into 72 games. After being taught by Huang Shigong in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang reformed it again and became the nine Yin Dun games and the nine Yang Dun games that can find chapters and excerpts. There are 18 games in total, which include astronomy, calendar, war, The crystallization of wisdom such as strategy.

It is said that the Qimen Dunjia was taught by the Nine Heavens Xuannv in ancient times. It was initially used for marching and fighting and forming formations. Emperors Yan and Huang, Jiang Taigong, Zhang Liang, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bowen were all masters of the Qimen Dunjia. For One could not be more proficient in Qi Men Dun Jia, but later people discovered that Qi Men Dun Jia can be used to fulfill all wishes. When used in tombs, it is naturally the best insurance against tomb robbers.

Wogua looked curiously at Li Lvyan, who was looking for the headquarters, and said pretentiously, "I said to Corporal Grasshopper, the research and development of revolutionary achievements belongs to everyone. You can't follow Yuan Shikai's example and monopolize the fruits of revolutionary victory. In the end, I The party’s situation is very passive.”

It is no exaggeration to say that now that Wo Gua sticks out his butt, Li Lv Yan knows what shape he is going to poop. Seeing that Wo Gua shamelessly drags Yuan Shikai to something, he immediately dumbfounded, "It's not that Yuan Shikai has no merit at all. When China lagged behind the West for decades in historical progress, he was the first person in China to establish a Chinese police system modeled on foreign countries."

Wo Gua was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed, "Don't change the subject by playing hard to get, tell me quickly, how did you guess it right? Aren't there many people who didn't guess it right before?"

"It's simple. I clearly passed by your right, but you said I passed by your left. I thought that maybe there is a cognitive bias in this seemingly straight corridor that can cause extremely small differences. , making the trapped person think that he has been walking in a straight line, but in fact it is a circle with a very huge area but a very small arc.”

Wo Gua was surprised, "If you put it this way, if the arc of this circle is not to be discovered, the range it covers must be very huge."

Li Lvyan nodded, "Of course, in addition to the dim vision, all the bricks in this space are also arranged very carefully. Once a person falls into this space, whether he is moving forward or backward, he will always feel straight in his heart." If you use the wall as the basis, how could you have thought that the wall that serves as the basis is actually the biggest obstacle?"

In fact, Li Green Ant should have discovered something was wrong long ago. In ancient tombs, the most taboo thing for tomb owners is the sleep after death. However, there are often no ever-burning lamps that should be in the tomb in this huge space. Here. It is a nice room. Even if two lotus lanterns are found, they are just for decoration. As long as the light source is sufficient and the number of people increases, this flaw will be discovered immediately.

The weird symmetry induces people to think wildly about hallucinations. Once the intruder begins to suspect that he has fallen into an hallucination, he will quickly doubt everything he sees, and death is also expected.

Li Lvyan led the two of them to the stone chamber, looked at the coffin lying on the ground and said, "If my guess is right, remove the body. Among the two coffins, there should be a way to the outside." road."

Wo Gua quickly threw the two bones eight feet away, making Li Lvyi shake his head.

"Hey, I found it. There is a crypt that seems to be accessible."

The three of them looked over with wolf-eye flashlights, and saw a wooden board about one square meter wide and long under the coffin board. There were latches on the board. Once it was opened, there must be a way out.

The three people's faces were overjoyed at the same time. They were happy that they finally found a way to get out after struggling for a long time. Although three days have passed now, these three days have been as painful as three years.

Li Lvyan was also happy when he suddenly frowned. Wogua followed him and saw that there was indeed a bolted exit under another coffin. The smile that had been on his face suddenly disappeared.

"Two exits?"

Wo Gua was surprised, "What's going on?"

Wo Gua, who was about to open the exit and leave, was confused when he saw that the two exits suddenly appeared instead of not appearing.

The man with black glasses said in a deep voice, "The tomb owner is not so kind-hearted that he would leave two exits for the tomb robbers. Is it because he is worried that the tomb robbers will not be able to find his location?"

This sarcasm reminded Li Lvyan, who said solemnly, "These two coffins must be the biggest variable and reminder of the situation at the scene, but as you can see, under the statistical probability of such a situation, only There are three possibilities, either a way to live and a way to die, which is more likely; or Liu Jing is so kind-hearted that both ways are ways to live, but they are not necessarily the way to the main tomb chamber. It is very likely that he went out directly. Road, but among the buildings of the Han Dynasty, this circle covers a large area. We are at least on the edge of the main tomb chamber, and it is unlikely to go out directly, which means that this choice is not correct."

Wo Gua's face froze, "The last remaining possibility is -"

"Both of these roads are dead ends!"

Li Lvyan also had doubts in his heart: when he and his group finally found a breakthrough, they would indeed get carried away with the moment of joy and dive out when they saw a way out. But if Liu Jing happened to catch such a mentality, in If traps are set up at both exits, in this case, the few tomb robbers who came before us but actually got out would have died below.

Seeing that the two of them had been hesitating for a long time and couldn't come up with any solution, Wo Gua lost his temper and opened one of them at once. As soon as he touched the latch, suddenly something like a sharp knife came from under the thick wooden board. Long nails, the sound of scratching a wooden board.

"Jab pull, thrust pull -"

Wo Gua's face turned miserable, and the hand he had just stretched out quickly retracted, his whole body went limp, and he was so frightened.

Li Lvyan took a breath and looked at Black Glasses. Black Glasses obviously didn't expect such a situation and also looked at Li Lvyan.

"Jab pull, thrust pull -"

The sound of nails scratching the wooden board only lasted for about a minute, and soon disappeared, but even if it disappeared, it did not mean that it had never appeared. Wogua's face was pale, grabbing Li Lvyan's clothes, and the wolf in Li Lvyan's hand The light of the flashlight tilted and hit Wo Gua's shivering face.

"Corporal Grasshopper, just now, just now-"

Li Lvyan took a deep breath, and before he could speak, suddenly there was an extremely powerful "tuk-tuk" sound coming from under the wooden board, as if he was knocking hard on the wooden door, and each sound was louder than the last.

In rural areas, every door has a wooden door. If someone knocks on the door for something, he or she will knock it twice, and then yell a few times if no one answers the door. If there is still no answer, it means no one is home.

If you really encounter that kind of extremely violent and rapid movement, which is not a knock but like a door smashing, such a move will be impossible. Because such a knock on the door usually means something bad is going on, often with sudden life and death and violent shock as the underlying cause.

Along with such knocking on the door, it might be "Something bad happened, someone died!" or "There's a fire! Put out the fire, put out the fire!"

Most people who have stayed in rural areas will understand this truth, but now, they hear the sound of a click, which seems to announce that something huge is about to come up below. Hitting the top of the three people's hearts, Wo Gua trembled even more.

"Grasshopper, Corporal Grasshopper, this-"

Li Lvyan tried his best to calm down, "This means that at least this exit is absolutely not allowed to go out."

Before everyone could move to another exit, they heard a more intense and terrifying sound coming from under the wooden board under the other exit, as if something was trying to break in.

"Dong dong dong dong——"

Everyone looked miserable, and Li Lvyan said, "I just took a look. This wooden door is made of extremely thick boss wood. The bolts on it are still very intact. The things below will not be able to go up for a while." Come."

Black Glasses and Wo Gua quickly closed the coffin lid that was originally on the coffin, and then used Luoyang shovel to nail the pulled out coffin, so that even if the wooden board could not withstand it, this coffin could. Block one or two and delay time.

When everything was ready, the loud and crisp sound that had been huge, like countless hands slamming on the door, was now covered up by the coffin, and it seemed to have turned into a dull roar.

Of the three possibilities mentioned by Li Luyi just now, I originally thought the first one was the most likely, but now it seems that neither of these two entrances is the right way.

"Corporal Grasshopper, what should we do?"

Wo Gua is usually very arrogant, but when faced with a real life-and-death crisis, he is still afraid of death. Although Li Lvyi looks like a coward, when encountering a life-or-death matter, his mind is extremely clear and calm.

"This coffin has two layers. We just opened the dusty second layer of the coffin board, which caused some movement. The life revealed awakened those things, so--"

"really."

Black Glasses raised his elbow, "Actually, it's not that I can't calculate it, but I feel that there is really no need to say this to disturb you at first, otherwise people will be panicked, which will not be conducive to this action. And when I first entered this corridor, I once We used a compass to calculate our trip, and the result was Seventy-Two Dragons Chuanshan and Shen Qi."

Wo Gua looked angrily: Sure enough, these black glasses are really not a good thing. He had already calculated the answer, but he didn't tell us the answer. He just kept it to himself. It was really bad.

After a pause, Black Glasses seemed to feel that at this point, it was necessary to speak clearly directly, "Sixty Jiazi, plus eight stems and four dimensions, form seventy-two dragons, which are mainly used for sitting on acupoints. Sitting on acupoints must avoid 'big voids'." ', 'small void', 'small mistake' and other evil spirits. 'Big void' is located in the fourth dimension of the eight stems, which represents evil on the disk, 'small void' is located in the middle of the seventy-two dragons, and 'small error' is located in the twenty The middle seam of the four mountains——" Pause "All three elephants are in danger!"

Li Lvyan was shocked, "Does this 'fierce' refer to the evil in this tomb, or is it?"

"It refers to the evil of our trip. Since there are three trips in this trip, I calculated the itineraries of the three people. They are all serious. As for the changes in the tomb, the Eight Wonders of the Compass stay above Shen Qi, but in Shen Qi It is strange, but it has stayed in two directions, one is north and the other is west."

"When Shen Qi sank to the east, there were snakes, insects, bees and ants; when Shen Qi sank to the south, there were minerals and stone tools; when Shen Qi sank to the west, he met corpses; when Shen Qi sank to the north, there was happiness underground; when Shen Qi sank in the middle, there were ancient stone lamp tombs."

Wo Gua's eyebrows twitched, "Are we in the west?"

Black Glasses nodded "Yes."

After getting such an answer, it was already very obvious what the group of people were struggling to escape from just now.

"Are we really going to die here?"

Wogua sighed, and Li Lvyan waved his hand, "No, this is wrong."

Seeing the black glasses looking at him, "I'm not saying that your calculation is wrong, but that what we encountered just now is wrong. You must have seen that those two exits, no matter what is under those two exits, they are all exits. A group of people who passed by here must have gotten out alive, otherwise the two corpses could not have been nailed into the coffin at once, and the bolts were still inserted. What if they really went down from there? Does it make sense?"

Black Glasses raised his head, "There is a way out here, but it's not under those two coffins."

Li Lvyan nodded, "But overall, those two coffins are the most suspicious. Nothing here is weird, only there." And he always felt that the group of people who passed by before were probably the most suspicious. The two corpses were directly placed outside. The reason why they were placed inside the coffin seemed to be a deliberate reminder for those who came after them, but I really didn't understand this reminder.

"Anyway, since it's not a good place to go, we can just look for it. Since they didn't come out from there, there must be a way out here."

Wo Gua Mao said irritably, "Oh, no matter what, there are corpses lying there, so let's not go there. We can't find any way out even after looking around here. Let's just blow up a way out." That’s it.”

Li Luyi quickly stopped, "The structure of the tomb affects the whole body. It doesn't matter if a road is blown up. If there is a collapse and the road out is buried, then we will really have to sleep here together with Liu Jing." ." Looking at the black glasses, the black glasses seemed to acquiesce to Wo Gua's words, and Li Lvyan was shocked.

"Our water source is gone, and there is plenty of food left. However, people can only live for seven days without water, but with only water and no food, they can live for fifteen days. During these seven days, we have wasted Three days have passed. In the remaining days, can we really find the right way? And the corpses lying underground have been awakened by us. No matter how great the obstruction is, they really will never be able to break through that layer of wooden boards and break the coffin. , rush out from inside?"

Li Lvyan was silent.

There was a reason why Wo Gua was so frizzy just now. Now Black Glasses is thinking more deeply. The water source is running out and the corpses are hidden. He has no idea how many corpses are hidden there. It sounds like there are definitely a lot of them, and they can be found anytime and anywhere. The risk of escaping from under that plank.

Li Lvyan guessed that there should be a very large burial pit underneath.

Slaves in ancient times did not have any human rights at all. Anyone who wanted to be buried could become a sacrificial victim. These people could be buried as clan leaders, heads of families, slave owners or feudal lords who died.

In the past, Li Lvyan followed Professor Jiang Yunsu and when he visited a large tomb of the Yin Dynasty in the northwest of Houjiazhuang, Anyang, Henan, he found that there were many bones in the tomb passage, piled up into small mounds, and some corpses seemed to be wearing official uniforms that looked like honor guards. Concubines, concubines, slaves, and collaterals are all listed.

According to Li Lvyan's research, the process of burial should be like this: the people under the tomb are buried alive and then tamped with soil. After the owner of the tomb is buried, a tomb passage is left, and then the remaining victims are tied behind their backs through this tomb passage, like pigs and dogs. Forcibly led into the tomb passage, and then chopped off the heads one by one...

Some tomb owners will cut off the head of the victim before burying him in the final stage. Compared with the two, there is no lighter level of cruelty.

Wogua looked at Black Glasses, and Black Glasses looked at Li Lvyan. Somehow, everyone seemed to have reached an agreement, with Li Lvyan as the leader. The decision at this moment seemed to be in Li Lvyan's hands.
