Chapter 45 The Secret of the Passage

At this time, Yang Lei saw that the black shadow in front of him was just a passage, his nervousness eased, and he felt very embarrassed, and said to Shuai Shi, "Old umbrella, I'm sorry, I just felt a little Yinfeng, I thought it was a ghost when I saw this passage when I turned around, it didn't hurt you, I'm really sorry."

After knowing that Yang Lei didn't deliberately target him, Shuai Shi was also very open-minded and didn't take it to heart. Both of them were a little nervous because of the previous incident.Then he asked Chen Ziyang: "Old Chen, this place is too evil. The road you walk turns around out of thin air and becomes longer for no reason. The engraved characters disappear out of thin air and appear out of thin air. Now this appears out of thin air We opened a passage. I don't think it's better... let's go out first..."

Seeing that even Shuai Shi, who had been a soldier, retreated, Chen Ziyang calmed down instead.Carefully looked at the hole that appeared out of thin air.After watching it, Chen Ziyang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized: "I now understand what it means to be a fan of the authorities, and the bystanders are clear. If you two hadn't separated from me and walked on both sides of the tomb passage, maybe the three of us would spend our entire lives here. I can't find the reason, and I'm going to be trapped to death by such a simple mechanism."

Yang Lei and San Shishuai glanced at each other, and they both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes.Then the two looked at Chen Ziyang together.

Under Chen Ziyang's arrangement, the two of them retreated slowly from where Chen Ziyang was.As the two retreated, the hole that appeared out of thin air in front of them slowly disappeared... Seeing the scene in front of them, Yang Lei and Shuai Sanshi looked at each other, and they both saw it in each other's eyes. A little shocked.

The two hurried forward again until they were one or two steps away from Chen Ziyang. As the perspectives of the two continued to move, the hole suddenly appeared again. "Optical illusion!" Yang Lei shouted in surprise.

"Yes, your two shots were not in vain. At least it proves that your gun and bullets can still be used. More importantly, it allowed me to discover this secret. It is a simple but effective mechanism." Chen Ziyang revealed Said with a proud smile.

Shuai Shanshi also understood when he saw this, "Old Yang, you mean that the No. 1 hole that disappeared before disappeared because of this reason? Then what is the reason why our direction changed for no reason? And The 2 words that disappeared."

"Those things have not disappeared. According to my estimation, this hole is now the exit of Passage 1."

"What's the matter? Didn't we return the same way in the stone room? How did we come out here?" Yang Lei was a little confused.

"Recall the passage we walked through before. The passage is very narrow, and the inside is winding, high and low, right? I thought the passage was built like this because of the large amount of work for the mausoleum, so the craftsmen They just built passages along the cracks in some rocks and places that are easier to dig. Now it looks like this is intentional."

Seeing that Yang Lei still didn't understand, Chen Ziyang continued: "The two sides of the passage we see now are actually not flat, but one side is higher and the other side is lower, and the taller side is a protruding wedge. In this way, from the side of the high stone wall, only one wall can be seen, and the passage cannot be seen. But when viewed from the other side, the passage is very conspicuous."

"So I guess, the same is true for passages 1 and 2. You can only see the passages from the tomb door. If you go back from this position, if you don't look back, you should be invisible. That's why we When I walked back for the second time, I didn’t see passage 1. The light in the tomb passage is very weak, you can’t see too far, and the passage is very narrow. Even if you look back from time to time, you probably don’t notice it or can’t see it out of thin air. The passage that appeared."

"If it weren't for the breeze blowing in this passage and blowing to Yang Lei, we might not have discovered this secret until now. I guess this kind of blindness was also used in the two stone chambers. In fact, we entered the two stone chambers. The passage in this stone chamber is not the same as the passage when we came out. The stone chambers are all circular, and after we entered, we naturally turned around and then walked out. It’s not that the passage itself has become longer, but We are not taking the same road. The exit is not the entrance, so it is no wonder that we couldn’t find the word 2 I engraved when we came out.”

Hearing Yang Lei's words, Shuai Shanshi thought about it and said: "I also remembered what you said. I looked back at the five-faced statue when I was leaving the No. 2 stone room before, and I always felt that something was wrong. , Now that I think about it, it seems that the five-faced statue looked a little different when we entered the stone room and when we went out."

"Well, I guess the reason why the stone statue was carved with five sides was intentional. In this way, it is not easy for people to discover the secret that the angles of the two passages are different. Even if you find the angles are different like you, it is easy to be caught by the five Ignore the influence of the face. The reason why the stone statues are placed in the second stone room is to attract the attention of the tomb robbers, to attract their attention and prevent them from discovering the secret. If the two stone rooms are empty, Then we will be more careful when we search the second stone chamber, and maybe we will discover the secret of the passage."

Shuai Shanshi nodded, he completely understood what Chen Ziyang meant, but Yang Lei was still confused, his brow was sweating and he couldn't figure it out. "Then how do we explain our turn?"

"We went in through passage No. 1, went to the empty stone room, and when we came out, we actually went the wrong way and took another passage. The passages here are all high and low and turn left and right, so In fact, we came out from the current entrance, entered through the entrance on the left side of the tomb passage, and exited through the exit on the right side of the tomb passage. Therefore, the way out of the stone chamber will be longer than when we entered, because we are already at the entrance of the tomb passage There is a circle around the tomb passage at the bottom. This exit is on the left side of the passage, so going right from here is actually the direction of the tomb door. It’s not that the passage has grown its own legs, and we went wrong.”

Yang Lei finally understood what Chen Ziyang meant, but he still couldn't believe it. "Co-authoring, the three of us are being played like three idiots...we have to go as they want us to do!"

"That's right, the person who designed the tomb took into account the vision, angle of light, and psychology of the stinker when designing this tomb passage. It is not wrong for us to be tricked by such a master for the first time in tomb robbery. If I hadn't gritted my teeth and persisted, maybe the three of us would have already run out in fright after passing through the first two passages." Chen Ziyang said with a sigh.

Shan Shishuai and Yang Lei nodded, if Chen Ziyang hadn't insisted on leaving again, they would have already run out of the robbery cave.

After engraving a big X mark at the entrance of the passage, Chen Ziyang said: "Go, go back! See if I am right. It is meaningless for us to move forward without solving this mystery." Chen Ziyang With his confidence restored, he said with confidence in his eyes.
