Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the transformed Pease snorted coldly and walked towards the Yinshi wolfberry. After turning around several times, he found that all the Yinshi wolfberry were gone. Then he came back with a depressed look.
Long Xiangtian was curious about why they camped here, so he told Nulimu his problem.
After a long conversation, the barriers between the group had long disappeared. Long Xiangtian was also a straightforward person, and soon he was completely forgiven by Nulimu. Nulimu smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoliu, it's almost evening now."
"So fast?" Long Xiangtian exclaimed in surprise. It's not that he didn't bring his watch and electronic clock with him, but they were left there and he didn't notice the hassle, which actually took most of the day.
"Not only that, we lost a few brothers along the way, and we set up camp here to wait for them."
At this point, Nulimu's face darkened. He looked at the cave entrance with some fear and said, "This place is really weird. We have walked through the cave entrance three times and returned here every time!"
Long Xiangtian nodded. He had just experienced the same scene, and he was sure that there was no fork in the road along the way. He went straight back here along the corridor. It was really unbelievable!
"Could it be a ghost wall..." Yunniang said while biting her lip.
The ghost wall also originated from a legend in ancient China. To put it in a more scientific way today, it means that a person's brain waves are affected by an unknown magnetic field and will go around in circles, unable to get out no matter how hard they try.
Long Xiangtian was originally skeptical about such legends, but after meeting Che Lie and the young man in white, Long Xiangtian knew that this world was far more exciting and mysterious than what he had read in books. What's more, he had seen strange and terrifying creatures such as the Blood Spirit with his own eyes, so now the ghost wall was nothing unbelievable to him.
However, putting aside whether it was a ghost wall or not, another question arose in Long Xiangtian's mind.
"Guo'er, have you discovered a big problem?"
Yunniang was like a worm in Long Xiangtian's stomach. She said, "You mean why there are so many things related to China in this tomb, right?"
Long Xiangtian nodded. This is Machu Picchu, which is very far away from the ancient country of China. Even if King Siphan liked Chinese civilization and followed many ancient Chinese etiquette and methods when burying him, things like Yin corpse wolfberry and blood spirits were too Chinese. After all, not many people in China could master these things, and they were even lost in the long river of history. Normal ancient books did not mention them. But here, Long Xiangtian not only saw them, but also met them face to face in person! Very real!
Combined with the three-eyed skull he saw before falling into the trap, Long Xiangtian felt that this must be closely related to China. For some reason, Long Xiangtian suddenly hoped that the young man in white would appear again. He thought that the young man in white must know the secret.
Long Xiangtian was a little annoyed that he had just been overwhelmed by some other emotions and had forgotten the real purpose of coming here.
Nulimu thought that Long Xiangtian had such an expression because he was scared after hearing the ghost wall, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Xiaoliu, don't worry, we will definitely be able to get out."
Long Xiangtian knew that he had some misunderstandings. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw several mercenaries behind him. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he quickly asked: "Brother Nulimu, I have a question for you."
Nulimu smiled and said, "Go ahead."
"Were you all together the whole time when you first went out?" Long Xiangtian pointed at the mercenaries behind him, "Including the ones you said were separated."
Hard wood nodded.
Long Xiangtian and Yunniang looked at each other and fell into deep thought.
This is strange, since they have been together all the time, why did they suddenly get separated? The corridor is so narrow, with their big and strong bodies, they can only walk forward in a long line. The person behind can always see the back of the person in front, and there are no forks in the road, so it is almost impossible for them to get separated.
"Brother Nulimu, is it the team in front or the team behind that you got separated from?"
"In front." Nulimu answered straightforwardly.
Long Xiangtian immediately thought of a possibility. He had studied ancient mechanical techniques and knew that some tombs had mysterious and great mechanisms, some of which were so exquisite that they could only be described as supernatural. It was hard to imagine that in that era there would be such a strange man who could create such an exquisite mechanism. Among them, the function of one mechanism coincided with the situation that Long Xiangtian and his team encountered.
Long Xiangtian picked up a stone from the ground and started writing and drawing on it quickly.
Except for Pease, everyone squatted down with interest to see what Long Xiangtian was going to do.
Soon, Long Xiangtian drew a thumbnail of what he had in mind. The most striking thing on the picture was a straight corridor, with two seven-shaped bends in the middle. The two bends intersected but did not affect each other, and they were not connected to each other, forming a complete cross.
Then Long Xiangtian began to tell everyone about his hypothesis.
He first pointed at the corridor, and then drew small dots in the corridor, representing Nulimu's mercenaries. Some of them were on one side of the figure-seven curve, while Nulimu was inside the corridor. However, since the figure-seven curve overlapped with the corridor at this time, it looked like the same corridor.
Then Long Xiangtian began to draw the second picture. In the second picture, the figure-seven curve began to rotate, instantly separating Nulimu and some mercenaries.
At this point in the painting, Nulimu slapped his thigh and said, "No wonder!"
Long Xiangtian looked up and asked, "Why, did you remember anything?"
Nulimu nodded: "We were walking at the time, and suddenly someone in front shouted that there was no way out, and that a few brothers were missing. I went to take a look and found that there was indeed no way out. At first, we thought that we missed some fork in the road, so we turned back, but we walked back and forth several times and couldn't find the exit. When we returned to the original place, we suddenly found that the road was open again. Although I was confused at the time, because I walked back and forth several times, I was not sure if I missed something and thought I had found the exit. Now it seems that it should be like what you said, this corridor can move!"
Long Xiangtian nodded: "If that's the case, then it's much easier, but we still have to find the source of this mechanism, and we have to be careful, otherwise we may get separated again."
Nulimu nodded: "You are right, this place is so evil, more people will help. Brother Xiaoliu, we are so lucky to meet you, otherwise I don't know how long I will be trapped here. When I think about the mummies everywhere, I feel so uncomfortable that I can't do anything."
Long Xiangtian smiled and said, "Don't rush to praise me. This is just my guess. We still have to see for ourselves whether it is true or not."
"Well, let's eat something and rest first, and then we'll start working tomorrow when we're fully rested. I should know the approximate location, because I have a habit of always looking at my watch when I walk, so I should be able to help you narrow down the area!"
