Chapter 1106 Illusion
"No way, I feel that I didn't encounter any side roads along the way. Could it be that you will get lost if you take the straight road, what the hell is this place?" Linghu Yun squeezed Feng Yuan's hand a little nervously.

Fan Jiannan thought for a while and said, "Give me the flashlight."

Feng Yuan handed him the flashlight, Fan Jiannan took the flashlight but did not look for other places, but stared at the top of the stone chamber.

Linghu Yun was a little strange and nervous, "Hey, why are you staring at the flashlight without looking for the way?"

Fan Jiannan didn't answer her, but held the flashlight in one hand, touched the top of the stone chamber with his hand, and put it in front of his nose to smell it.

Zhao Pingyuan also felt a little strange, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Fan, you are..."

Fan Jiannan said in a low voice, "Someone has been here before, but it should not be recently, but a long time ago. It seems that we have indeed entered a certain fork, but it is strange that we have never noticed it."

"How do you know that someone has been here before?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise.

"This is an underground cemetery, where many people are buried. In ancient times, there were no flashlights. It should be illuminated by some kind of torch. When the torch stuck with grease burns, there will be a lot of smoke. And This kind of smoke contains grease, and once it is adsorbed on the rough stone, it is difficult to get rid of." Fan Jiannan pointed to the top of the stone chamber, and said in a low voice, "Look, there are traces of smoke here."

"That is to say, we can find the way along these traces?" Feng Yuan thought for a while.

"No, we can't be sure who these smoky traces came from. Maybe it's from ancient Brotherhood members, maybe it's ordinary town residents. If it's left by Brotherhood members, it can indeed lead us to Deep in the cemetery. And if it was left over from the burial of ordinary people, then we can only find an unknown corpse." Fan Jiannan explained, "And as far as the people buried here, the number of ordinary people is less than Much more than members of the Brotherhood of the Chapter."

"Then what should we do?" Linghu Yun hesitated and said, "How about we go back, I always feel weird here."

"If you want to go back, you can go back alone." Fan Jiannan said lightly.

Linghu Yun immediately changed her words, "Forget it, I have the nerve to leave you all behind. Something might happen here, I feel that I'd better stay here and take care of you."

Feng Yuan wanted to laugh when she heard that, she didn't know that Linghu Yun said that on purpose because she was a little scared to go back alone.

Zhao Pingyuan said in a low voice, "I mean to go back the same way, anyway, it's just a straight road. Maybe if we walk it again, we will find out what went wrong."

Fan Jiannan thought for a while and nodded, "This is the only way to do it now."

Several people returned along the same road, but this time they walked very slowly.Because every time he walked, Fan Jiannan would use a flashlight to take a look at the smoke marks on the top of the cave.After nearly 10 minutes, they walked back to the exit.This made everyone puzzled.Because according to the map, this catacomb is far more than such a road, but a very grand underground cemetery.

But they walked back and forth twice but found nothing, no fork in the road, and no messy witchcraft and formation restrictions.Sitting at the entrance, Fan Jiannan frowned. He turned to Zhao Pingyuan and said, "Mr. Zhao, are you sure we didn't find the wrong place?"

"I'm sure." Zhao Pingyuan nodded, and I've been to this place once.Although my memory is not as amazing as yours, I am not a forgetful person either.I am not called the messenger for nothing.I can memorize more than 3000 words without any connection with each other at a time.And after a lapse of one month, the retelling will not even be wrong.If it weren't for this memory, how could it be possible to become the prophet's messenger? "

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "In these two trips, we didn't find any abnormalities except for the deep road. So I can basically confirm that all this is not caused by witchcraft or other spells. Then it should be other reasons. "

"Other reasons? You mean... there is really a ghost?" Linghu Yun's face suddenly turned pale.

"The theory of ghosts and gods is simply nonsense." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "I'm talking about other reasons."

"Other reasons?" Zhao Pingyuan frowned, "What other reasons?"

Fan Jiannan smiled wryly, "I'm sorry, I haven't thought of this yet." His flashlight shone everywhere, and suddenly his brow moved slightly.He looked at the caves on the walls of the cave, where the bones of ordinary people were originally buried.Very common in such underground cemeteries.

But Fan Jiannan seemed a little hesitant, and looked back and forth several times.Then he frowned and thought, without saying a word.Linghu Yun wanted to ask him several times, but Feng Yuan held her back.Feng Yuan looked at Linghu Yun and shook his head silently.She knew Fan Jiannan too well, he must have thought of something to be so unnaturally silent, normally, he would talk more than anyone else.At this time, it is best to keep quiet and not disturb him.

Finally Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "I know what's going on?"

"What's going on?" Linghu Yun asked hastily.

Fan Jiannan smiled wryly, "We let some dead people play tricks on us."

"Ah?!" Linghu Yun exclaimed, "There really is such a thing, you mean there is really a ghost?"

"There are no ghosts." Fan Jiannan said with a smile, "We were tricked by the Fraternity magicians who first built this underground tomb. In fact, the reason is very simple. It is not a witchcraft formation at all, let alone a ghost or something like that." Nonsense. This is the simplest cover-up."

"Blinding method?" Zhao Pingyuan frowned, "What is it? Some kind of ancient technique?"

"It's much simpler than magic tricks. Have you ever seen a magic show?" Fan Jiannan said.

Zhao Pingyuan was stunned and said, "Of course I saw it."

"A magician can make an airplane disappear out of thin air in a very short period of time. But this seemingly mysterious magic is actually a kind of blindness. In the final analysis, blindness is to use various means to cause the audience's visual confusion. Fan Jiannan explained, "Human eyes are the most direct sensory organs, but they are also the easiest to be deceived. This kind of magic that uses optics and other physical phenomena to perform is called tricks in ancient China, and blindfolding is one of the more mysterious ones." kind."

"I probably understand what you mean, but now there is no one else but us? Could it be that this magic-like deception can still affect us without anyone?" Zhao Pingyuan frowned.

"Yes. This is what I want to talk about." Fan Jiannan pointed to the caves on the surrounding walls. People’s eyes will produce a so-called visual residue after looking at it for a long time. This will affect our judgment and make us ignore some things that originally existed.”

"Could it be like this?" Linghu Yun asked suspiciously.

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "Don't doubt, people are actually so easy to deceive. This kind of inertial thinking can be triggered not only through vision, but also through other means. How about we make a small game to prove it?"

"Oh? Can this be confirmed?" Linghu Yun widened her eyes and said, "How to prove it?"

"It's very simple. I'll ask questions. You can just answer." Fan Jiannan blinked his eyes a little strangely.

"Okay, you can ask." Linghu Yun looked at Fan Jiannan and said.

Fan Jiannan whispered, "Attention, I'm going to start asking. Are you Linghu Yun?"

"Yes." Linghu Yun frowned.

"Are you Linghu Yun?" Fan Jiannan asked again.

"Yes." Linghu Yun replied.

As a result, Fan Jiannan asked seven or eight times in a row, "Are you Linghu Yun?"

Linghu Yun nodded and said, "Yes." Fan Jiannan kept repeating this sentence, and Linghu Yun kept repeating this answer.

As a result, Fan Jiannan suddenly said, "Are you an idiot?"

Linghu Yun said without thinking, "Yes." After she finished speaking, she was also stunned, and then she shouted angrily, "Okay, you're cheating, it doesn't count."

Fan Jiannan shrugged and said, "What should I say? Habitual thinking can mislead people. In fact, what we see can also give us some illusions. These seem to be messy, but they are actually buried in a regular pattern. The arrangement of bone caves is actually giving us this wrong feeling. By repeating this arrangement constantly, it will make our brains have a habitual thinking. Thinking that we have been walking on the straight road, but in fact we have been led astray .”

Zhao Pingyuan frowned and said, "It turned out to be like this. But when I went in last time, it didn't seem like this."

"You said that at that time you were wearing the monk robes of the Brotherhood of the Holy Chapter. That is, the medieval monk's clothing with a hood." Fan Jiannan gestured with his hand, "That kind of wide hood can It covers the whole head of the person, and it affects the vision on both sides of the human eye. So wearing that kind of clothing, wearing a hood, you will not be affected by this kind of blindness."

Zhao Pingyuan said in amazement, "So there is such a function? No wonder I was asked to wear that kind of monk's clothes when I came last time. It turned out to have this function. It completely covers our peripheral vision, leaving only the forward The seeing part. In this way, this kind of blindness, which relies on constantly repeating the surrounding landscape, is also limited."

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "Yes, in theory it should be so."

"How did you guess that?" Feng Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't pay much attention to this aspect at first, but after two trips, my memory is strong enough to remember all the scenes I have seen. I suddenly realized that there are many times when everything around is exactly the same. Just In the current burial cave, there are sixteen tombs on the left side with three floors, and eighteen tombs on the right side. Two of them have no tombstones." Fan Jiannan explained, "All this seems to be It's messy and random, but after we've walked 20 meters, there's another exact same scene. It's all orchestrated."
