Chapter 44 Labyrinth

The others were interrupted by Li Jingxing, and they suddenly realized that after going through this journey of tempering, they were able to talk about family life in peace in a place like the cemetery.

Li Jingxing looked at these people and asked bluntly: "Are you going or not?"

The rest of them came back to their senses and nodded immediately.

"go!"

"go!"

Everyone quickly picked up the salute on the ground and got ready to go.

"I will send you out of Jiafenggou." Li Jingxing's eyes fell on Asi's face: "You are familiar with the road in the forest, try to get back before night."

"Okay." Asi nodded, and solemnly promised: "As long as you walk outside the Guanyin Monument, I will have a way to take them out."

"Master Li, it's dangerous for you to be here alone." Huang Qianqian always felt uneasy. In her heart, one Xu Xu was not worth half of Li Jingxing.

"I have my own measure." Li Jingxing responded lightly.

"Then let's go." Tommy didn't want to stay for a moment, so naturally he wanted to leave this ghost place immediately.

Li Jingxing gave a "hmm" and walked in the front, intending to return the same way.

Suddenly, everyone discovered that the entrance they entered before had disappeared.

"I remember we came in from here." Tommy rushed to Li Jingxing's side and touched it with his hand, surrounded by cold stone walls.

"Could it be an organ?" Asi asked.

"Yes, such as machine crossbows, volleys, etc." Tommy asked with a stiff expression.

Li Jingxing shook his head: "The ancients did not have such good technology. It is said that the machine crossbow was found in Qin Shihuang's tomb, but these utensils have been buried in the ground for many years, and they have long been corrupted. As for the fire, it is the fire caused by the methane in the tomb."

As soon as he mentioned biogas, everyone thought of the unhappiness in the morning, and their faces immediately turned bright red.

Tommy hurriedly asked, "But it's impossible to have no mechanism at all, right?"

"Yes." Li Jingxing said: "For example, using sand, water, and chain flaps are all relatively effective tricks for large folks. If it is more advanced, some kings' tombs may be poisoned by mercury and mercury."

"What about this secret way?" Huang Qianqian answered, "Could this be a maze?"

"Maze?" Huang Qianqian's words reminded Xu Xu, who looked around.

Li Jingxing also walked slowly to the middle, and sighed: "Maybe, this is really a maze."

"The maze is easy to walk." Tommy volunteered to raise his hand: "When I was studying, I learned how to solve the maze. After entering the maze, choose a direction, such as going to the right, and then keep walking against the wall. No matter how winding the wall is, if it is straightened, it is just a line segment, and the entrance and exit of the maze correspond to the two endpoints of this line segment, if we keep to the right, we will of course reach the exit.”

"The theory you mentioned is correct, but there is a premise." Li Jingxing had already walked to the middle of the tomb: "The premise is that the entrance and exit are on the same line segment, that is to say, the wall must be connected. Okay, if you encounter a "back"-shaped maze and the exit and entrance are not connected, you will go around and return to the original place."

"There is another premise." Xu Xu sneered, "There must be an entrance and exit. I don't even see a door."

"I thought we could go back, so I'm so happy now!" Huang Qianqian laughed out loud angrily, and then burst into tears after a while: "It's all right now, come back to the maze after the evil spirit is gone, play to my old lady! ah!"

Seeing that the other party was emotionally unstable, Asi walked in and comforted him kindly: "Don't get excited, I will figure out a way."

Huang Qianqian was so angry that he didn't want to pay attention to this honest man, and stretched out his hand to push: "Go away!"

Asi took two steps back and just touched the wall, he was stunned for a moment.

"There's something wrong here."

Without waiting for Asi to turn his head slowly, Li Jingxing understood, took a quicker step behind him with the flashlight, touched along the wall carefully, then knelt down and picked up the soil on the ground with his thumb and index finger to smell it.

Seeing Li Jingxing's concentration, Asi didn't want to disturb her, so she squatted aside to watch.

Li Jingxing patted the dirt in his hand, hooked it up with his index finger, tapped the ground closest to him, and then lightly stamped his foot farther away.

Xu Xu quietly mingled behind the two of them and asked, "Did you find anything?"

This sound scared Assi, who was concentrating on it, and sat down on the ground.

"I'm scared to death, Master Xu, I said, can you make a noise when you come?" Asi yelled.

"Squeak." Xu Xu grinned, thinking that this kid is honest, but he has no guts. With this little guts, he dared to be a guide in the forest, which is enough to prove that this is a monopoly industry with a lot of bullshit. .

Embarrassed, Axi began to scratch his head habitually again. Seeing the corners of Xu Xu's mouth getting bigger and bigger, he thought that the next sentence would be sarcasm, and immediately defended: "I just saw it completely, and I wasn't mentally prepared. ?! Besides, it’s a good thing to be tense in this kind of place, it’s a good thing, hehe.”

Xu Xu shrugged and smiled, with an innocent expression: "I didn't say anything about you."

At this time, Huang Qianqian and Tommy also came up together. Seeing that Li Jingxing was still beating, they looked at each other suspiciously, and immediately realized that the two of them didn't like to see each other very much. If it wasn't for the critical situation, they would like to curse The other party had been there all day, so Tommy quickly looked away in disgust, and Huang Qianqian also snorted coldly, expressing her disdain.

"This soil is different." Li Jingxing said suddenly.

"Is the taste different?" Tommy asked immediately: "In the legend of tomb robbery, the techniques of tomb robbery in the northern and southern factions are different, among them..."

"The colors are different." Li Jingxing said coldly, he didn't intend to give Tommy a chance to continue talking.

Xu Xu took the flashlight from him. The soil on the ground seemed to be the same, but trying to identify it, he could see a square line.

"Is this the Qianxian?"

Li Jingxing didn't say a word, he took the other's hand holding the flashlight, turned the direction, and the beam of light shone on the wall: "Look, there are several pieces protruding from this wall."

Xu Xu let out a "huh" and shot the flashlight back to the ground. After going back and forth a few times, he said, "The protruding part is a stone ladder. This is a passage to the ground."

Li Jingxing nodded this time: "The passage was buried with soil, but the soil layer is not deep. I knocked it just now, and it sounded empty. Let's pry open the surface and see, maybe we can find a way out."

"Don't be kidding, Master Li, how can this be the way out?" Huang Qianqian immediately shook her head: "We have been walking down, but the Sunshine Avenue is beyond our heads. Is it hell? Only the dead are buried underground!"

"Don't talk about these taboos, okay?" Tommy said dissatisfied: "Do you think there are not enough dead people here? Do you have to use vicious words to offend evil spirits?"

When Asi next to him heard this, he immediately put his hands together, murmured something, and began to beg God for protection.

"Anyway, it's worth a try." Li Jingxing glanced at the crowd, and said cautiously: "I feel that this place is different from just now. I'm afraid if everyone stays any longer, it will be harmful and not beneficial."

"What's different?" Tommy hurriedly asked.

Li Jingxing ignored it, pushed aside the crowd, found a brick on the ground not far away, and chopped it hard with one hand, the brick immediately broke into two irregular halves.

Holding half of the bricks in each hand, Li Jingxing walked back to his original position and began to use this simple tool to dig the soil.

"Do you really want to dig?" Huang Qianqian stomped his feet: "Since the protruding part of the wall is a ladder, can't you try to go up? I don't want to get darker as I go."

Tommy didn't want to either, and stood aside to make trouble.

"The stone ladder ends here. This is obviously a descending ladder." Asi replied after observing for a while.

"I don't want to go down any more, it's too scary." Huang Qianqian said in a low voice, "Please, don't go down any more. Let's see if there is any other way out, or wait for someone to come and save us." Let's do it."

Li Jingxing turned a deaf ear and continued digging the soil.

Xu Xu squeezed out a smile: "Waiting for someone to save you? Let me say you are innocent, or pretend to be innocent?"

After hearing Xu Xu's cynicism, Huang Qianqian's blood flowed back immediately, her face was hot, thinking of asking for something from the other party, she had to suppress her anger, and after a long while, she turned her head away, pretending not to hear.

"Master Li, can we really only go down?" Asi asked timidly.

Seeing that Li Jingxing didn't bother to explain, Xu Xu sighed, started hexagrams empty-handed, paused when he reached the middle finger, and immediately followed Li Jingxing to dig up the soil with both hands.

"Master Xu, what are you doing? Do you have to go down?" Asi asked unwillingly.

Sweat broke out on Xu Xu's forehead, and his movements did not decrease at all: "The hexagram of Shigan is facing the gate of ghosts in the hexagram of Baihu Luogen, with a wounded door, the heaven and the site Bingding, and it is very ominous! This place is about to become the most yin place, and the hexagrams guide We hide down, if you don't dig the soil, we will be dug out by ghosts."

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Asi's legs softened, and she knelt down in front of Li Jingxing, digging along with her trembling bare hands.

Tommy and Huang Qianqian were also like frightened birds, quickly looked around, and finally joined the digging camp.

After everyone dug a few feet, Li Jingxing suddenly found a gray iron chain. He grabbed the exposed part and pulled it up, and saw the soil on the ground move.

"It's a door." Assi exclaimed, "The door to the basement."

It is said to be a door, but it is actually an iron plate that opens upwards, and the area is not small. Because the soil in other places is deep, Li Jingxing did not manage to pull the iron plate open smoothly.

Xu Xu immediately went over and grabbed the iron chain, and pulled it up with Li Jingxing.

Unexpectedly, the iron chain had decayed long ago. When the two big men exerted force, the iron chain was torn apart with a bang.

Xu Xu staggered back a few steps, seeing that he was about to fall, but Li Jingxing, who was quick-sighted and quick-handed, quickly stopped him with one hand and hugged him in his arms, so as to avoid the embarrassment.

Seeing the awkward posture, Xu Xu immediately stood up straight and asked, "Brother, why are you standing so steadily? You are anti-inertia, right?"

Li Jingxing glanced at him with the corner of his eyes, and replied flatly: "Inertia is not force."
