In order to find the main tomb, Luo Jian and the other three began to wander around the huge tomb unconsciously. In order to prevent getting lost, they would leave marks in some hidden places every time they walked, such as carving on the corner wall with a knife. a cross.
Sometimes there will be a little sound from the bottom of the tomb. Luo Jian and Duan Li are very sensitive to this sound because their senses are very sensitive, but Feng Yulan is not aware of it. Ask Luo Jian what kind of sound it is, Luo Jian Jane replied: "It's like the vibration when some kind of mechanism is activated."
It was very dark in the tomb. The ever-burning lamp that Feng Yulan got before was accidentally left behind, so Luo Jian took the flashlight to open the way ahead. They passed through several tombs, all of which were buried with each other. There are two secret doors in the tomb. Open one secret door to enter, and then open the other secret door to enter the next tomb. But after passing through several tombs in a row, Luo Jian found in a familiar corner The mark of the cross he had carved about ten minutes ago.
"We're going around in circles again." Luo Jian said to Duan Li and Feng Yulan, and then he started to ask Duan Li again: "How did you lead us out of that long and dark passage that we couldn't get out of? "
"It's an ancient formation. You don't understand the specific principle after I told you, but I have learned the skills in this area, and that formation is very easy to escape, so it can be cracked." Duan Li said.
So Luo Jian thought about it carefully, and then asked: "What about now? Are we also trapped in the formation?"
Duan Li didn't answer, he circled around the tomb, they passed through the secret door to a total of six tombs, these six tombs are almost exactly the same, they all have three coffins, and there are carvings and paintings on the walls. After six tombs, they returned to the original point, but the narrow and long passage where the ghost hit the wall before could not be found. "Indeed, we have entered another formation. It seems that there are many formations in this tomb."
"So can you crack it
"No." Duan Li answered bluntly: "A formation is composed of many facilities with the same element, like an ancient military formation, which is composed of hundreds of soldiers with people as elements. If we fall into the siege of the formation circle, we will be destroyed. Similarly, we are now surrounded by an array, unless we can find a breakthrough and destroy one of the formation points, otherwise we will be trapped here forever."
"Array...it sounds like a magic circle." Feng Yulan listened to Duan Li and the others explain the origin of the formation, but Alan was obviously not interested in it, so he followed Duan Li around the tomb, staring at the wall After looking at the mural for a long time, he casually said: "Speaking of this picture, it really looks like a magic circle."
When Ah Lan said this, Luo Jian also became interested in the depictions on the wall, and immediately jumped over to stare at the murals with Feng Yulan. Something like a matrix diagram. The complex graphics made the three of them very interested, and they began to guess the meaning of the mural.
"This seems to be telling a story about a monster. Let me put it together." The three guesses based on their own opinions were all similar, so Luo Jian sorted out the specific ideas and began to tell the story depicted on the mural from beginning to end. out of the story.
"The picture that appeared first described a scene where many people died due to hunger." Luo Jian stroked the murals on the wall with his hand, and in order, the first picture showed many skinny people, one after another In the scene of falling to the ground, the meaning expressed is also obvious. The drawn people are as thin as bamboo poles, although the depiction is very abstract.
"The second picture shows an abandoned baby." Luo Jian walked to the next mural, which was a baby still in its infancy, and beside it was a very abstract forest. The murals are slightly blurred, but they can still be seen clearly.
"The third picture shows an abandoned baby and a... um, a beast?"
"The drawing of this beast doesn't quite look like a wolf, but if you look at the head, the blue face and fangs look like ghosts." Feng Yulan began to comment.
"Then let's assume that he painted an abandoned baby and a ghost." Luo Jian clicked on the next mural: "It seems that this ghost picked up the abandoned baby and raised him as his own child. So the next mural has a man in animal skins."
"But this man's face is also the image of a ghost with a blue face and fangs." Feng Yulan proposed the introduction again: "Shouldn't it be a ghost who occupied the body of an abandoned baby and then grew up to become a ghost?"
"There is a possibility." So Duan Li interjected: "Think about it, what era were the people who carved these murals?"
"Ancient man." Luo Jian and Feng Yulan said in unison. This is a very old tomb, and the only people who are willing to carve murals in the tomb are the ancients. As for which dynasty it belongs to, we will not analyze it for the time being.
Then Duan Li laughed. Although he couldn't see his smile with a mask on, his tone was full of a smile: "The technology of the ancients was not as advanced as modern ones, and they thought things they couldn't understand were demons and ghosts. In fact, this story It’s very simple, it’s a story about an abandoned baby being raised by wolves, think about it, what would it be like to be a child raised by wild beasts?”
"Can't speak." Luo Jian proposed the first one, thought for a while and said: "Maybe he can learn how to howl like a wolf."
"I can't walk like a normal person, lying on the ground like a beast, and it must be agile." Feng Yulan also added: "Maybe there will be fangs, and when killing prey, they will definitely bite them off with their mouths." neck."
Duan Li said: "You can imagine all of these, but in the eyes of the ancients, this might be a kind of incomprehensible thing, they would only think that this person is very vicious, they would think that he is like a ghost, so give him I drew the image of a ghost with a blue face and fangs."
"Then the disaster began. Because of hunger, this ghost started to eat people." Duan Li pointed to the next mural as a matter of course, which showed the image of a blue-faced fangsed ghost biting a person's neck.
"People naturally feel fear, so they start rounding up the ghost." The mural that follows shows many people surrounding the ghost.
"They managed to capture the ghost, tied him to a stake, and piled it with firewood to try to burn him to death."
"Then..." Duan Li also seemed to be puzzled, because all the murals ended here, and the last picture only showed the ghost tied to the stake, and there were people holding torches around, but whether Whether the ghost was burned to death, there is no follow-up on the mural.
Apart from the stories told by the murals on the wall, there are only those circular formations similar to magic circles. Although Feng Yulan said that it looks like a magic circle, but after looking at it for a long time, I feel that this thing seems to be a kind of totem.
"The story on this mural tells no beginning and no end, and..." Luo Jian thought of some possibility again, and said: "Could it be telling the story of the owner of the tomb? Could it be that this tomb is for this animal?" built by ghosts?"
"But the message in the secret room says that you believe in gods and horses? How can a wild man raised by wolves be believed in as a god?" A Lan frowned and couldn't figure it out, but he was concerned about the murals. The formation diagram was very interested, and he took out his own magic document, and he took out a pen from nowhere, and copied the formation diagram according to the mural.
"How did your drawing skills become so good?" Luo Jian immediately took this scene into his eyes, expressing disbelief. He remembered that the things drawn by A Lan since childhood were very distorted, and those who could draw square ones into circles were referring to His kind.
Alan shook his magic document, "It's not that my skills are good, but my skills in this book are very good."
After Ah Lan said this, Luo Jian and Duan Li turned their heads at the same time, and looked at Ah Lan with very deep eyes.
Allan suddenly looked puzzled. But he didn't care, and continued to copy the formation diagram. Then the three of them turned the six tombs around again, and they found that the furnishings and murals of each tomb were almost exactly the same. Although there were some deviations in details, there was basically no difference. No matter how many times, they couldn't get out of this strange formation.
"Is there anything else that we haven't considered?" Luo Jian didn't believe there was no way out, and tried hard to think about the commonalities of the six secret rooms. However, after thinking about it, she couldn't figure out what place she hadn't considered. Luo Jian gave up, and turned to Duan Li, "How did you bring us into this place before? Did you pass through what door?"
Duan Li pointed to the secret door in the tomb, and said: "This is the door. After coming out of that dark passage, this is the tomb, but if you go back from this door, what appears is not the previous one Instead, it turned into another tomb."
Luo Jian was a little puzzled: "You mean, you found a secret door in that long and narrow passage, and you opened the door to enter the tomb, but when you want to go back, you open the door again, but it's not the original one. Instead, it turned into another tomb chamber that is exactly the same."
"It feels as if the tomb is constantly moving." A Lan was still staring at the formation diagram in the tomb. After going through six similar tombs in a row, he returned to the original tomb, but Alan found a strange place.
"Ah Jane, the formation diagram is different." Feng Yulan suddenly pointed to the formation diagram on the mural.
"What's the difference?"
"It's different from the one I copied." Feng Yulan took out her magic document and sent out the page where she copied the formation diagram. Luo Jian came over to observe carefully, and immediately found the difference, although the two formations Fatu looks very similar, but if you look closely, you will find that the patterns on it have changed.
"Wait, there's something wrong with this!" Luo Jian seemed to have thought of the answer, and he immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at the engraved formation diagram on the wall. The sunken marks were carved on the wall, and the sunken marks were very deep. Luo Jian pressed his hand up, and found that his fingers could reach into those sunken marks.
And I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the pattern on the formation diagram just allows Luo Jian to put all five fingers into the five small round holes. Luo Jian hesitated for a moment when he discovered this, but he still didn't stop doing it. He put his five fingers into the round hole, then grasped it tightly, and tried to turn it to the left, but the pattern didn't move at all.
So Luo Jian changed the direction and turned to the right. This time he succeeded, the formation map turned a half circle, and then the pattern of the formation map completely restored to the pattern when Feng Yulan copied the formation map!
Afterwards, the three of Luo Jianfeng, Yulan and Duanli seemed to feel the faint sound of the mechanism starting up from the ground at almost the same time.
