Chapter 1695 Penrose Stairs

Chapter 1695 Penrose Stairs

Back in the tomb, Lao Jiu immediately lit a candle.

I saw that the flame of the candle leaked a little bit, although it was only a little bit, it was still tilted.

Seeing the slanted flames, Xu Shaotang and Mu Tiance already understood his intentions without Lao Jiu's explanation.

Both of them radiated towards the place where the candle flame slanted at the same time.

This is located in the southeast corner of the tomb. When you raise your hand slightly, you can't feel any airflow at all, but the inclination of the candle flame is not deceiving. There must be a vent nearby to allow the air to circulate throughout the tomb.

Lao Jiu held up the candle and walked slowly towards the southeast corner, then reached out and stroked the wall at the southeast corner slowly, looking at him, as if he was stroking his lover.

Seeing Lao Jiu's appearance, Xu Shaotang and Mu Tiance couldn't help feeling chills.

After searching the wall to no avail, Lao Jiu slowly raised his head and fixed his eyes on the top of his head.

"The vents are on top!"

Lao Jiu's frown was finally relaxed, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Xu Shaotang and Mu Tiance looked along the position of the strong light above Lao Jiu's head, and saw that the arrangement of the stone walls above his head was a little looser. Small gaps, those gaps seem to be less than five millimeters, if you don't look carefully, you really can't find it.

Although there are only a few small gaps, they provide the entire tomb with flowing air. It is precisely because of these small gaps that they cannot feel the flow of air at all.

"I'll try to see if I can crush this rock!" Xu Shaotang signaled Lao Jiu to retreat slightly, then jumped up suddenly, and punched heavily on the rock above his head.

"boom……"

Following Xu Shaotang's powerful and heavy punch, a big hole was instantly punched out of the rock above his head, and a strong light was shot into the hole, and one could see the steps going up step by step.

"Sure enough, it's empty!"

Lao Jiu laughed and said, "I didn't expect this foreigner to have a lot of thoughts. If I didn't suddenly think of this matter, I would have been cheated!"

Xu Shaotang smiled and said: "You think this foreigner is a fuel-efficient lamp! Well, don't be wordy, go in from here and see if you can find the tomb here."

"We will definitely find it!" Lao Jiu said confidently: "As long as there are other tombs here, they must be ventilated. As long as we look for them along the vents, we will definitely find them!"

"hope so!"

Xu Shaotang smiled slightly, and said, "Go and have a look first!"

After speaking, Xu Shaotang jumped up first, grabbed the hole and crawled in, and then pulled Lao Jiu up.

The stairs are so narrow that only one person can walk through them. The winding stairs are in the shape of a spiral. They have been going up the stairs. After walking for a while, a fork suddenly appeared in front of them. One continued to meander upwards, while the other Circling around in the direction of their right hand.

Xu Shaotang turned to Lao Jiu and asked, "Which way?"

Lao Jiu thought about it for a while, and said: "Go to the right! If I'm not wrong, the upward path should be the exit leading to the top of the pyramid, and the right path may be connected to other tombs."

Xu Shaotang thought for a while, and felt that what Lao Jiu said seemed to make sense, so he walked towards the passage on the right.

Going down this passage, soon, a branch road appeared in front of them again, one turned to the left and the other turned to the right.

Looking at the forked road in front of them, after asking Lao Jiu's opinion, they chose to go to the right again.

After walking for a while, the forked road appeared again.

This time, Xu Shaotang didn't ask Lao Jiu for his opinion, but said to himself with some doubts: "It's not right, we seem to have been to this place before!"

"There is indeed something wrong. I also feel that we seem to be going around in circles." Mu Tiance, who was walking behind, also said with a slight frown.

"Old Jiu, what do you think?" Xu Shaotang asked Lao Jiu again.

Lao Jiu thought for a while, and said: "I can't judge, but I believe in your feelings. If you want to be sure, we can make a mark here first, choose a road at random, and see if it will happen again. Come back here."

"it is good!"

Xu Shaotang nodded, and immediately drew up his true energy to make a very conspicuous mark on the stone wall, and then chose a random side to walk.

After more than an hour, they really saw the mark Xu Shaotang had made before.

"It seems that we are really going around in circles!" Lao Jiu said: "This kind of ladder, we call it the enchanted ladder. What many people call the ghost hitting the wall is actually similar to this, while foreign countries call it Penrose. ladder."

"Tell me specifically!" Xu Shaotang sat on the ladder and asked with great interest.

Lao Jiu also sat down to rest, and at the same time slowly explained to the two: "One of the characteristics of this kind of stairs is to use people's visual errors to give people the illusion of going up or down, but in fact they are going around in circles." ! And our current ladder should be even more sophisticated and complicated. There are several forks in the ladder, but no matter which fork you take, you are actually going in circles.”

Hearing Lao Jiu's explanation, Mu Tiance frowned and said, "Is there a way to crack it?"

"Yes!" Lao Jiu nodded and said: "Close your eyes, don't look at the road in front of you, and walk according to your own feelings! However, this method may not be useful. People who can design such a complicated enchanted ladder, probably When it was built here, it was already prevented that someone would use this method.”

"Try first and then talk!"

Xu Shaotang closed his eyes slowly, and said, "Old Jiu, connect the three of us with a rope so that we don't get separated."

Lao Jiu nodded, took out the rope in the backpack on Xu Shaotang's back, and quickly tied the three of them together according to Xu Shaotang's request.

After finishing everything, Xu Shaotang set off immediately. This time, he didn't rely on his eyes at all, but walked by his own feeling, and left a bottle of mineral water on the ground.

Another hour later, Xu Shaotang, who was walking in front, stopped suddenly. There was already a dead end in front of him.

Xu Shaotang slowly opened his eyes, and said to Lao Jiu with a wry smile: "I have walked out of that ecstasy ladder, and entered a dead end again."

"Xu Shao, don't worry, let me take a look first!" Lao Jiu also opened his eyes, and said slowly: "Although this seems to be a dead end, it may not be what we imagined, maybe we will start from here. Find a way out!"

"You mean, there is a hidden mechanism here?" Xu Shaotang asked lightly.

Lao Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, I can only read it first."
