At that time, I had no idea about the ancient tombs, let alone the structure of the ancient tombs, and I knew nothing about taboos and the like. With my poor historical knowledge as a junior high school student at the time, I was It is even less possible to make any relevant judgments about the characteristics of that ancient tomb.
The three of us, using the simplest things at that time, were walking in the tomb passage like this. All we could use was an oil lamp, some agarwood beads, and a tiger claw that we didn't know how to use. One of them was already a little withered. The flowers are flying, a kitchen knife, a rolling pin, a few steamed buns, and a pot of water.
Although I study metaphysics, Ling Ruyue is a descendant of Gu art, and Surou is a fat man who is good at fighting, our ability to survive in the ancient tomb is not even better than that of an experienced tomb robber.
And this situation is not the worst. The worst thing is that I don't even know that my fortune is at its lowest point. As long as there is some slight possibility, everything will develop in the fastest direction.
The tomb passages seemed to be parallel, but there was a subtle downward slope. The three of us didn't know at first that this was a visual game. It wasn't until we walked for a full three minutes that Surou suddenly turned around and discovered that we were When I started standing there, I almost lost sight of him.
"Sanwa'er, I thought I was walking straight, see?" Su Rou grabbed me and asked me to look back.
Ling Ruyue also noticed this problem, she pouted her little mouth and said softly: "How come the fat brother discovered it first?"
When she said this, my face turned ugly. When it comes to spiritual awareness, Ling Ruyue and I are better than Surou. Why didn't we notice? Don’t think that the so-called spiritual awareness means discovering ghosts, gods and the like.
The specific explanation of spiritual sense is that you can use a sense to detect subtle changes in your surroundings. It is a human sensing ability. In scientific terms, it is the sixth sense.
Surou was still unconvinced, arguing with Ling Ruyue, why couldn't I have discovered it first, etc., but my mood has been gloomy, because my spiritual sense is almost my biggest reliance. If it doesn't work at this time, I will We would be in danger in the tomb.
Could it be caused by opening the Heavenly Eye just now? I thought about my worries and moved forward. My boredom caused Surou and Ling Ruyue to stop making trouble. But at this moment, Surou grabbed me, with an anxious look on his face that he had never seen before, and Ling Ruyue Ruyue's little face turned pale at that moment.
"What are you doing?" Being suddenly pulled like this without speaking, I was a little angry. This was not an inexplicable anger caused by evil things, but a combination of environment, pressure, random thoughts and various psychological reasons. !
In a dangerous environment, or in an extremely simple ritual, there is one biggest taboo, that is, the Taoist heart is unstable. Laughing and cursing in daily life is a form of venting and expression, which can stabilize a Taoist heart. .
This is a very simple process of stripping away. If the emotions are not allowed to flow freely and accumulate too much, the heart will be buried. Therefore, often real Taoist practitioners are not as celestial and Taoist as described on TV. They are more direct.
But at this time, a huge gap appeared in my mind. This shows how bad my personal situation is.
"Sanwa'er, you see for yourself." Possibly frightened by my unknown fire, Surou pointed to the ground carefully and said.
I looked down and saw that there was no way under my feet! Below is a ridge that is almost 2 meters high. What is under the ridge is so dark that it is hard to see clearly.
At that moment, I had a feeling that the fine hairs on my back were about to stand up. It wasn’t that the hurdle was scary, but that there was a hurdle under my feet, and I didn’t even know it!
"I didn't notice it either. Fortunately, fat brother blocked me." Ling Ruyue's expression has not yet recovered. Obviously, falling down consciously and falling unconsciously are two different outcomes. We all know this.
Why is this happening? My confusion was getting deeper and deeper, as if my breath was stuck in my chest.
"I also thought there was a road. Look ahead." Surou said, pointing ahead. There was a bridge in front of him. There were two sculptures standing on the bridge. However, with the dim light of the oil lamp, it was impossible to see clearly who the sculptures were. What.
This gap appears in front of the connection point between the bridge and the tomb passage. At this time, the tomb passage presents a strange upward angle. This gap is right in the middle. It is a visual blind spot. If you don't pay attention, it is really not easy. be found.
As for what is on the other side of the bridge, I can no longer see it.
This gap is not deep, but the width is not something we can blow through. There is no wind in the ancient tomb, and it is difficult for me to judge whether the bridge is empty. In short, in my personal opinion, this ancient tomb is too complicated. There is a long tomb passage and even a bridge.
"Sanwa'er, I think there's something wrong between you and Ruyue. Who comes to a place like this without being cautious? Why do you all act like you've been possessed by a ghost? This gap is right next to your feet and you didn't even notice it? " Surou said with some dissatisfaction.
Ling Ruyue and I looked at each other, but were speechless. In fact, we didn't know the reason at the time.
I can only explain it by saying that I opened my eyes, and Ling Ruyue can only explain it by saying that she was too distracted by directing Hua Feifei. She didn't know at all that because the roadblocker was killed, Hua Feifei spit out the venom. , also counted as her cause and effect.
"Forget it, let's take a rest." I was a little helpless, took the water bottle and drank a big mouthful, then closed my eyes and recited Master's careful formula in my heart.
They didn't understand why I felt so tired all of a sudden. They could only wait silently, and the atmosphere became even more dull for a while.
After a while, after reciting the carefully crafted mantra seven times silently, I opened my eyes and said, "You see, we can't go straight because we can't jump through this gap."
"Then what?" Surou asked, obviously the terrifying laughter was still lingering in his heart, and he was unwilling to go back at this moment.
"Are we staying here?" Ling Ruyue interjected. Apparently, all the things about the Hungry Ghost Tomb had made her lose her initial curiosity and excitement, especially her repeated 'mistakes'. This feeling is very uncomfortable.
Spiritual awareness is important to a Taoist priest, but why is it not important to a Gu magician
"Otherwise, we will go back?" Surou said the most reluctant choice. He didn't want to, so he said it.
I shook my head and said, "We have a third option, which is to go down!"
Indeed, this is also a choice. On the surface, stopping here is the best choice. It is easier to take a step back. People are always full of fear of unknown things, not to mention the dark figure who appeared in the ancient tomb. gap.
"What did you say? Sanwa'er, are you crazy?" Su Rou shouted involuntarily.
"No, it feels like you are burying yourself!" Ling Ruyue's words were obviously much sharper, making people even more horrified.
"No, there is a reason why I did this. Do you know the formation? Don't get too involved in metaphysics. It is a formation that can be used by anyone who is more energetic about architecture. I think this tomb passage is too weird. Let's follow it. If you keep walking, you might get lost in the formation and be unable to get out." This is my judgment. Of course, I am also somewhat sure. What the formation loves to play most is visual games, taking advantage of people's various visual blind spots. .
If a road exhibits such characteristics, it can basically be judged as a formation.
"This reason won't work, Sanwa'er, your reason can't convince me to go down." Su Rou pointed at the dark entrance of the cave and said.
"Listen to me! There are exits in any formation. This exit is not necessarily a direct path or something. It may also be a reminder. Have you seen the bridge? You know the basic structure of the bridge. It is to There are piers, which means that the lower part of the open bridge needs a certain amount of space. Have you ever built a curved bridge on flat ground? Have you seen it?" I said, actually speaking, I am not proficient in architecture. This is just basic common sense.
After reciting the meditation mantra, your mind has calmed down and you can analyze it in detail.
"But what does it matter? I can go back, or just stay where I am." Surou felt that this was not important at all.
"Yes, third brother, what does this have to do with anything?" Ling Ruyue also didn't understand.
"Based on my basic understanding of the formation, I usually set up formations like this to confuse and protect something. I don't know the ancient tombs. I just judge based on these. The real ancient tombs are under this tomb passage, so this is what I want to do. The reason for going down, this gap must be man-made!" I finally expressed all my judgments!
