Taoyuan Xianzhuang

Chapter 337 Labyrinth
"Huh? What is this?"

Officer Yi picked up that thing, it was a cross-shaped metal object made up of two small iron bars crossed, it looked like a detector!
"This should be 'Xunling Iron', made by local methods. It's a compass." Yang Lei said.

"Compass? How do these two iron rods guide?" Officer Yi looked curiously at the 'Xunling Iron' in his hand, as if a stick had been inserted horizontally on the candied haws. Interestingly, this stick was real. Will turn!

Yang Lei said: "I don't know much about the specifics. I only know that the big head is north and the small head is south. Stand up and turn your body around to see if it follows you."

Officer Yi did as he was told, and took the Xunling Tie and turned it around by himself. The amazing thing was that no matter how he turned, the thinner end of the Xunling Tie was always pointing in one direction.

"It's really a compass, but I don't quite understand his principle. Is there anything special about these two iron rods?"

"Yes! I don't know the details, but it is said that it is very troublesome to make this. These two iron rods are specially made. When seven-tenths of one iron rod is glued to one-half of the other iron rod Together, you can tell the direction."

Xiao Lili said: "What I'm thinking about right now isn't about Gui Zhi Bei. I'm thinking, why did these three people die here?"

Ao Pengfei said disapprovingly: "Isn't it normal to die here? If they don't die here, should they die on the ceiling?"

Bai Luo glanced at Ao Pengfei, looked at Xiao Lili suspiciously, and asked, "Mr. Xiao, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Yang Xiao asked: "Mr. Xiao, what you mean is that they have men and women, and they already have the conditions to open the door. Why do they still die in this room?"

Xiao Lili nodded, and said, "That's right, even if they die, they should die inside the tomb, right? Why did they die in such a small room? Could it be... the door of this room can't be opened?"

Yes, there are men and women among these three people, and they already have the conditions to open the door. It stands to reason that they can enter the next tomb.

Don't know how to open the door?

No, if not, how did they get to this fourth tomb?
But if he knew, why did he die here?
Also, what everyone thought before was that the oxygen in this tomb was limited, and the oxygen in the entire room would be used up in half an hour or an hour.

But that doesn't appear to be the case now.

If oxygen is limited, then there should be no oxygen in the fourth tomb. The three of them have been trapped here for an unknown period of time. They must have used up all the oxygen here before they died. Apart from the fact that the air is a bit unclean, it is not much different from the outside world.

After figuring out Xiao Lili's words, everyone couldn't help but feel a layer of worry.

If the door of this room cannot be opened and there is no way to go back, then everyone may be trapped here to death!
Yang Xiao glanced at Shen Ailin, who understood, and came to the door holding hands with him.

When the two put their hands on the door, what worried everyone did not happen.

The Yaksha picture lights up again, the stone door opens, and the fifth tomb appears in front of everyone.

This time, the sword shot out from the wall on the left, and everyone was on guard, so no one was injured.

They came to the fifth tomb safe and sound, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and opened the sixth tomb without stopping.

Still the same space, same size, same lampstand, same flowers and plants, the sixth tomb is no different from the first five.

Then came the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth...

With the experience of the previous few times, everyone is now more proficient at hiding knives, basically they can enter the next room within a few seconds after the door is opened.

As time went by, everyone finally noticed something was wrong.

One after another, one after another, as if there is no end, the same is scary!
With the opening of the No.18 stone door, as expected, there was another exactly the same house. Everyone no longer had expectations or fear of the mechanism, but was a little impatient and impatient.

"Which room is this?"

"It should be Room No. 18."

"How many rooms are there in total?"

"I don't know."

"The owner of this tomb must have hollowed out the entire mountain, right? We walked from eight o'clock to nine o'clock. A house is 20 meters long and eighteen rooms, which is 360 meters? It's almost a mile!"

Lin Youyou said: "It may end soon, don't worry, be patient."

Shen Ailin was a little anxious, "But why do I feel that we are spinning around all the time?"

Bai Luo said, "What do you mean?"

Shen Ailin said: "Didn't you find that there is no mechanism in this room?"

Indeed, the crowd walked through a total of eighteen tombs, and this tomb was the only one without a mechanism!

"Yeah, why?" White Dragonfly asked suspiciously.

Shen Ailin pointed to the corner of the wall behind everyone, and said, "Perhaps, that can explain it."

Everyone turned their heads and saw that there were three skeletons in the corner!

Isn't this the room that everyone came to just now?Isn't the pose of the three skeletons exactly what Officer Yi put them in?

Seeing the skeleton, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they all understood.

"We went in a circle?!"

"Are we back in the fourth room?"

Yang Xiao shook her head in disbelief, "No way, didn't we go all the way south? Aren't the doors all on the south side?"

Officer Yi looked at the Xunling Iron in his hand, frowned, and asked, "Mr. Yang, can you confirm the direction of the door of the first tomb we came down from?"

Yang Xiao dug the hole, he knows the direction best!

The hole was dug into Taiqing Mountain, in the same direction as the sun, from east to west.

So that hole goes east to west.

After coming down, there is Shimen on the left hand side, so the direction of Shimen is to the south!
"Of course I'm sure, the door is on the south side!"

"Is it due south, or slightly south?"

"Zhengnan!" Yang Xiao said with certainty.

"Look!" Officer Yi pointed to the Xunling Tie in his hand, and saw the small head of Xunling Tie pointing at the angle between the stone gate and the left wall. This shows that the "south" in everyone's eyes is actually southeast. has deviated. "If the compass is not broken, then the southeast corner should be 'south'. And the direction of this stone gate should be...southwest, right?"

Yang Xiao's complexion changed slightly, she stared at Xun Ling Tie for a while, and said, "It means, this tomb is inclined? A circle is formed below it?"

Officer Yi said: "For now, it should be like this, we are trapped! We have been going around in circles."
