"Mr. Zhang Tiao, you...Didn't you just die, why?"

Liu Dongqing stared at the strip in horror, his face even uglier than facing the sand man just now, and he even worried that the strip would behave like other monsters.

"Tiaozi!" Before the Tiaozi explained the ins and outs, Haizi and Qi Baye rushed into the maze again from the exit of the maze, and they were dumbfounded when they saw the intact strip and the scattered sand on the ground.

"Are you... .. okay? What is going on?" Haizi, as an old friend of Tiaozi, is the most confused at this moment. Even though Tiaozi knows some Taoism, it is impossible to survive the heavy damage as before. This is obviously inconsistent. Common sense, and what happened just now? How did the murderous Sand Man disappear

,

Tiaozi didn't know how to explain it for a while. After a while, she suddenly remembered that Qingsha who had just appeared and turned her head, but Qingsha's shadow had disappeared.

Following Liu Dongqing's violent cough a few times, she got up from the ground, patted the dust on her body as if nothing happened just now, her behavior seemed unnatural.

"It's not too late, let's go quickly, if the pattern of the maze changes, our previous risks will be in vain."

Tiaozi frowned, feeling that Liu Dongqing's tone was not right, until Tiaozi saw Liu Dongqing's pupils glowing red before he realized it fully.

The Liu Dongqing in front of him was already possessed by Qing Sha. After Lili died, Qing Sha took advantage of Liu Dongqing's unpreparedness to take advantage of his body.

"Why do you patronize yourself! Girl Lili! Didn't she just be taken away by the sandman? What about people?" Haizi obviously did not see the situation just now, not knowing that Lili was completely dead.

"Sorry brother, Lili is like a horse face, only bones left after being swallowed by the sand people..."

Tiaozi lowered his head, and Lili's bones were constantly echoing in his mind. Although Lili was lying not far from the Tiaozi at this time, he did not dare to look at it again.

Haizi was stunned. He forcibly held back what he wanted to say, sighed heavily, and looked at Qi Ba Ye, who looked as sad as him.

"Now is not the time to mourn, let's go, we are less than a hundred meters away from the goal."

Although Tiaozi was very sad, he knew that sadness had no effect at this time. His only way now was to enter the center of the grave and help Qingsha fulfill his wish in exchange for long-term peace. He had no choice.

Haizi and Qi Baye looked at each other for a few seconds and both recognized the meaning of Tiaozi, and walked towards the exit of the maze with Tiaozi.

Just as the strip was about to reach the exit, Liu Dongqing put her hand on the strip's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "I have a way to bring Lili back to life, as long as you do what I want."

Faced with Qing Sha's whisper, Tiaozi turned his head slightly, and strengthened his will in his heart: Get out of the grave alive!

After leaving the exit, a ten-meter-high altar appeared in front of everyone. The altar was surrounded by four stone steps, all of which were made of bluestone. On the top of the altar was a sarcophagus made of black stone. The sarcophagus was engraved with a lot of words. , And the specific text needs to be close to know.

"Yes! That's it!" Liu Dongqing pointed to the sarcophagus on the altar and said with excitement. The sliver couldn't tell whether it was Qingsha or Liu Dongqing, who had just passed the gods.

Liu Dongqing stretched his hand into his arms and took out the bronze lord he had obtained from the corpse. He was about to step on the steps, but was pulled by the sliver!

"Don't be impulsive! There may be a mechanism here!"

According to Tiaozi’s experience, the closer you get to the target, the more deadly the threat may be. Since the tomb builder has spent so much time setting up ambushes in the periphery, how can it be easy for people to approach the altar? This is obviously unreasonable.

Tiaozi picked up a palm-sized gravel on the ground, asked everyone to step back a few steps, and then threw it toward the stone steps facing him. The stone fell on the sixth step from the bottom up, only to hear With a sudden sound, the concentrated stone steps suddenly lifted up! The rain-like silver wooden arrow fell from the sky and almost filled the stone steps in front of him.

"This direction is wrong, we can't walk from the stone steps in this direction!"

After successive guessing and cracking, Tiaozi has roughly figured out the layout of the tomb and the triggering laws of the organs. However, the easiest path that seems to be taken will not work under the high probability of this tomb. The altar has four stone steps. The four stone steps face different directions.

Tiaozi took out the compass and looked at the direction of the pointer on it. The stone steps in front of them face north, which means that the other three stone steps face south, east, and west respectively. There must be a life gate among many dead ends, and the north is dead. Then one of the other three can safely lead to the top of the altar.

But which one is it? Can't try one by one, right? If this is the case, it would be too simplistic for the people who built the tomb.

Tiaozi asked other people to stand still, and walked around the altar without finding any special symbols or hints. No matter what they thought, it felt wrong. This made Tiaozi a headache.

"Tiaozi, how is it? Thinking of nothing!" Seeing Tiaozi, Haizi had been thinking about it and couldn't help asking.

Tiaozi looked at these three-sided stone steps, and each stone step was the same. At this time, he didn't know how to crack the law of the mechanism. Is it possible that there is really no law in the ambush before him

When Tiaozi didn't have any thoughts to solve the mystery before him, Qi Baye walked around the altar, and when facing the east-facing stone steps, he exclaimed.

"Everyone! I know! I know what's going on! I have solved similar grave structures when I was fighting back!"

Tiaozi was in awe, hungry for the answer. He walked towards Qi Baye, and saw Qi Baye pointing to the stone steps facing east, and said excitedly: "Your thinking is wrong this time, it is not a question of direction! Every direction All stone steps are feasible! You count the number of these stone steps carefully! I encountered the same situation when I went to pour a Ming dynasty tomb before!"

After speaking, Qi Baye picked up another stone and smashed it towards the east stone step. The stone hit the third stone step from the bottom up. This time the stone step was not lifted. The rain did not fall. what the hell is it? What did Qi Baye discover that made him so sure of his conjecture
