Chapter 351 Why Are There Only Ten Rooms?
Yang Xiao turned to look at Xiao Lili, and seriously expressed her doubts.

"No, our previous calculations should be wrong! Do you remember how we got down?"

"We? How did we get down? Didn't we just climb down from that dog hole?" Xiao Lili said truthfully with a puzzled look before she understood.

"Yup!"

Yang Xiao nodded, pointed to the wall on the left and asked, "But what about the hole? Have we walked around the tomb more than three times in total? But we have never seen the hole when we came down!"

Hearing what Yang Xiao said, Xiao Lili also felt puzzled, and said blankly: "Yes, where is the dog hole?"

Yang Xiao began to analyze.

"Our current guess is that there are a total of eighteen tombs, forming a circle around a large circular tomb, and these eighteen tombs are always moving."

Xiao Lili was firm in her opinion, "No, this tomb has not moved."

Yang Xiao didn't bother to argue with her, and said, "Okay, no matter whether they move or not, these eighteen tombs are a circle, do you agree with that?"

"Agree."

"But that's not right either. What do you think is the diameter of the square-shaped tomb we entered earlier?"

The square is so big that the flashlight can't reach the end. If you walk from the south to the north, it will take [-] steps.

Xiao Lili made a rough estimate, but said uncertainly: "It must be 200 meters anyway?"

Her idea is the same as Yang Xiao, who also thinks the diameter is about 200 meters.

"Almost." Then Yang Xiao demonstrated in person, walking from one end of the room to the other, taking a total of 34 steps, "34 steps, the normal step of an adult is about 20 meters and [-] meters from zero, and it must be a big step. There is one meter, but if you walk normally, it is more than half a meter, I said this room is [-] meters, what do you think?"

Xiao Lili nodded, and said regretfully, "I feel like it's about 20 meters away. It would be great if my bag was still there. I have a tape measure in my bag."

"It's the same with or without a tape measure. Now the result has come out. One room is 20 meters long, and the eighteen rooms have a total length of 360 meters. If the 360 ​​meters form a circle, can the diameter be 200 meters?"

Anyone who has been to elementary school knows that the circumference of a circle is equal to twice the radius multiplied by pi, that is, the diameter multiplied by pi.

Now the diameter is 200 meters, and the pi is 3.14. It turns out that the circumference of the tomb is more than 600 meters!

But at the moment, only more than 300 meters have been calculated.

Where did the extra 200 meters go?
"No matter how you calculate it, it's wrong! There are at least ten rooms missing. Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to go around."

Xiao Lili frowned and thought about it. She touched the wall and said softly: "Yes, why is it not enough? Where did the few rooms go?"

Turning to look at Yang Xiao, "Then what do you mean by looking at the wall here? What did you find?"

"I found that this wall is not the wall we saw last time, this tomb has changed."

Because all the tombs are the same, Yang Xiao and Xiao Lili can only take the tomb with three skeletons as the standard. Yang Xiao turned on the phone and released two sets of photos, all taken in the next tomb of the skeleton tomb Yes, but the wall structure is slightly different in these two photos.

Although there is no difference at first glance, upon closer inspection, the colors of the two walls are slightly different, one is an authentic gray, earthy color, and the other is a little yellowish, the difference between the two is very subtle, It's like it's caused by lighting.

But these two photos were taken by Yang Xiao with the flash of his mobile phone, so there should be no problem with the lighting.

Moreover, the flashlights of the two of them were all shining white light, so it was impossible for them to turn yellow.

In this case, it should not be a problem with the light source, but a problem with the wall itself.

"So Yang Xiao, what do you mean?"

"I mean... this room is an extra one, it's different from the last one!"

Yang Xiao didn't know what to say. He turned on the calculator on his phone and added it from one to eighteen, which was equal to 171. Then he said, "Let's do an experiment. The total from one to eighteen is 170 one." Then He looked at the flowers and plants by the wall, and then said: "Let's pull out 171 grasses, put one in the first room, two in the second room, and put them in No. 18 tombs. Look at these eighteen tombs." Is it a cycle?"

Xiao Lili didn't have anything better to pay attention to. Officer Yi and others have disappeared now, and the reason for their disappearance is probably related to the structure of the tomb. In fact, Yang Xiao has another guess, but the most important thing now is to Find out exactly how the burial chambers are arranged.

He had a hunch that if he understood the order of the tomb chambers, he would be able to find the exit and at the same time find a way to enter the deeper tomb chambers.

The two pulled out the flowers and plants by the wall, but there were less than 171. It doesn't matter, there are flowers and plants in every room, and the number is definitely enough.

They are now in the next room of the skeleton tomb. If this tomb is regarded as "1", then when they reach the "18th" tomb, they will definitely see the skeleton!

Put a grass in the first room.

Put two grasses in the second room.

Put three grasses in the third room.

……

Put ten sticks in the tenth room...

When the two came to the tenth room and were about to leave ten grasses, they were shocked to find that there was actually one grass in this room!

Turned back again?
But they haven't met the skeleton tomb yet!
How is this going?

The two looked at each other blankly, both at a loss!
Xiao Lili looked at the handful of flowers and plants left in her hand, and said uncertainly: "Yang Xiao, we... haven't finished the eighteen tombs, have we?"

Definitely not finished!

Judging from the remaining amount of grass, there should be 8 tombs that have not been walked through!
"No."

"Then why is there a blade of grass here?"

Yang Xiao also wanted to know the answer. He looked at the grass artificially inserted into the soil in front of the stone gate, frowned, and said, "Let's go to the next tomb to have a look."

When the next tomb opened, the two were even more confused, because the next tomb was the skeleton tomb!

Eleven rooms!
Originally, everyone speculated that there were eighteen rooms, but now they only passed eleven rooms.

Now the two of them were completely confused.

"There were eighteen rooms before, why..."

The fog in front of him is getting thicker and thicker.

Sitting in front of the stone gate, Yang Xiao expressed another doubt and guess of her own!

Pointing to the walls on the left and right, he said: "The circular tomb was on the left just now, that's because the mechanism launched from the right. If... If we find a mechanism to launch the tomb from the left, then the wall on the right Will it be opened too?"
