Explore Changbai Mountain

Chapter 530 The reason why the jade seal was ground flat
"Dragon Qi!" Chen Ziyang was stunned when he saw the golden dragon gas faintly flowing in this section of dragon body carving.

When he was outside watching the group of dragons knocking their heads on the treasure cave, Chen Ziyang looked at all four mountain ranges, but he didn't even see any dragon aura.At that time, he was still thinking that perhaps Zhang Linfu's desire to use the dragon energy here to arrange the Tiangang Eight Direction Formation was about to be shattered.

But he didn't expect to see dragon spirit in this section of dragon body carving.Although the dragon energy flowing in the sculpture is not strong, it is very weak, but it is still flowing after all.

"Is this really weird?" Chen Ziyang didn't think it was strange when he didn't see the dragon aura when he was on the ground before. After all, the Qing Dynasty has been destroyed for so long, and it is understandable that there is no dragon aura in their dragon veins. Yes, but why the Dragon Qi is still continuing, but the Qing Dynasty has perished early?
After taking out the compass and calculating the direction, Chen Ziyang knew that this section of stone sculpture in the shape of a dragon's body should extend from one of the mountain ranges that formed the treasure cave of the group of dragons.

It seems that this dragon body-like carving is a device for attracting dragon energy. Judging from the style of the city wall observed before, the entire treasure underground palace should be in a shape similar to a square, located in the center of the four mountain ranges.

There is a great possibility that there is not only one dragon body carving like this, but four, extending from the bottom of the four mountain ranges, all the way to the underground palace, the purpose is to gather the dragon's energy in the hole , so as to pour into the center of the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty.

This is why you can't see the dragon aura when viewing the four mountain ranges above the ground. That's because the dragon aura in the mountains has been drawn here by these devices and locked in the underground palace. Leaked.

"There must be some kind of change in the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty." When he saw the flowing dragon energy, Chen Ziyang had such an idea in his heart.

This treasure underground palace is very well preserved and has not collapsed, so that is to say, the core of the Qing dragon veins protected inside is also intact and has not been damaged, and the dragon energy is still continuously gathering inside.Such a dragon vein can definitely bless a dynasty for hundreds of years without decay.

However, the lifespan of the Qing Dynasty was only more than 200 years. Thinking about it this way, there must be a problem with the dragon veins here.However, Chen Ziyang didn't care about this matter. What he was thinking about was the problem that caused headaches for others, which was where to go.

Just after entering the back of the steel gate, everyone didn't see the situation in front of them clearly. They thought it was a city wall blocking them, but now they have checked all the places they could see, and found that there is no way out now. There is more than one way to go, but there is more than one way to go.

The tall city wall blocked everyone's front, and there were three alley-like gaps in the city wall that the people in the team could see.These three alleys have a width of nearly four meters, and the two sides of the alleys are also the same as the outside walls. At first glance, it is very easy to ignore, thinking that the walls on both sides of the alleys are connected as one, which is a whole wall, which is also true. That's why the people in the previous team didn't see these three alleys.

This is only within the range that everyone can see. If it is farther away, there is a long dark area beyond the range of everyone's flashlight beams. Maybe there are similar alleys there. Maybe not less.

"Maze! This is a maze!" After staring at the city wall in front of him for a long time, Chen Benzhong said loudly.

"Maze?" The others bowed their heads and thought for a while, feeling that what Chen Benzhong said was very realistic.The entire Dragon Vein Underground Palace is like a huge sealed room, and the walls inside this room separate this huge room with many passages. The scene in front of it is indeed similar to those in the playground. Mazes are very similar.

"Hey! Isn't it just a maze? What's the fuss about this? It won't stop us. Let me teach you a trick. It's actually very simple to get out of the maze. That's to keep walking to the right or to the left. You must be able to walk to the exit of the maze." Yang Leiting puffed up his chest, put on a arrogant expression, and said to the others.

"Cut..." After listening to Yang Lei's words, the rest of the team dismissed his experiences.

"What? You still don't believe it? Let me tell you, how many mazes I have walked out of like this, you really don't believe me, I..."

"Okay, Lei Zi, don't be ashamed." Before Yang Lei finished speaking, Chen Ziyang whispered in his ear.

If someone else spoke to stop him, Yang Lei would definitely argue with him, but the person who said this was Chen Ziyang, so he felt embarrassed to continue talking.Yang Lei walked to Chen Ziyang's side, and asked in a low voice, "Am I not right?"

"What you said is not wrong, but you overlooked one point. The move you mentioned is the way to get out of the maze, not the way to reach the center of the maze.

If you follow your method, we can indeed get out of this maze. Maybe there are other exits in this maze, but this is not our purpose. Our main purpose is to go to the center of this maze, that is, to reach the group. The place where the dragon knocks the head of the treasure cave.

If you really follow your way, we may go out from other exits of this underground palace, and stagger the center of the entire maze. It is not difficult to do this, it only needs a little design The route of the maze is enough, so the method you said does not apply here.

It's like a maze in the shape of "Hui". If you really keep walking to the right, you can't get close to the most central character "口" at all, and you will only circle around. "

After listening to Chen Ziyang's words and thinking for a long time, Yang Lei finally came to his senses.

"Godfather, what should we do now? Divide up and investigate?" Looking at the three forks in front of him, Liu Cong asked Chen Benzhong.

"It's absolutely impossible to divide the troops. Our number is relatively small, and there may be more than these three forks here. Even if there are only these three, if we continue to move forward, we may encounter more forks.

Dividing the troops is the next strategy. After we can't go far, the number of people in our team will be smaller than the number of fork roads. At that time, we will all be fighting alone. If we encounter danger, there is no way to take care of each other.

For the current plan, we can only choose a path to go forward and explore a little bit.I really didn't expect that there would be such a big trouble after entering the underground palace. The designer of this underground palace is really not simple.

There are so many forks, maybe only one is correct and safe, and the other forks are likely to be arranged with heavy traps. Although the area of ​​this underground palace is limited, this section of the road is enough for us to drink a pot. "Chen Benzhong clenched his fist, beat his forehead, and said very carefully.

"Okay, let's cheer up, be more careful when moving forward, and put out all the tricks. If you encounter some special things, or say some special patterns, maybe those things are The hints left behind about how to walk in the underground palace."

"Hint? Will there be hints left here? If that's the case, wouldn't the design of this maze be meaningless?" Liu Cong didn't want to understand what Chen Benzhong meant, and asked strangely.

"Hmph, there must be hints about how to walk the maze, but it may not be in the maze, I just remind you.

If you think about it carefully, the purpose of this underground palace is to protect the dragon veins and store a lot of treasures, and these treasures are likely to be taken out when they are placed here, but the time to take out the treasures is not certain .

It may be a year, ten years, or hundreds of years before the treasure in the underground palace may be taken out, and by that time, those who may know how to navigate the maze will have died.

Therefore, the people who built this maze back then will definitely leave behind the maze's way of walking. This thing may be recorded in something else, or it may be recorded in the maze, through special signs one after another, or other things. Some patterns are used to remind people who walk the maze.

However, these clues may be hidden very secretly. Only after knowing the specific prompt content and the meaning of the prompt, can the people who come here later be able to walk to the center of the maze. "

After listening to Chen Benzhong's analysis, Liu Cong nodded, and his team members also understood.

"Maze? Hint? I understand..." Chen Benzhong's words also reminded Chen Ziyang.After only a few seconds, Chen Ziyang already knew where the hint about how to move the maze was hidden, but unfortunately, the hint might have disappeared forever.

The reminder of the maze method should be hidden in the jade seal, and the side of the jade seal with the pattern engraved on it has been smoothed, that is to say, the reminder of the maze method has been destroyed.

The basis for the speculation is very simple. The person who died in front of the steel gate carefully kept the huge pearl and the jade seal in the box. These two things are extremely precious and have special significance. But think about it the other way around. , maybe the value of these two things is not just their own value.

Take that gigantic pearl as an example. Apart from its high value, that pearl is also the key to open the steel door. If so, the jade seal should also have its uses.

That jade seal is square, and this maze is basically a square shape, which is similar to the cross-sectional shape of the jade seal. It is very likely that what is depicted on the bottom of the jade seal is not a seal, but the way of walking in this maze.

This is why the dead person had to smooth one side of the thing depicted under the jade seal before dying.It is to prevent people from entering here by mistake. After getting the jade seal, use the pattern on the jade seal to reach the center of the dragon vein.

For unknown reasons, this person chose to commit suicide here. He did not take the pearl and jade seal outside and give them to others.And this person thought before he died, maybe later people might find out the usefulness of these two things.

But he was reluctant to destroy these two treasures with special significance, so he settled for the next best thing and rubbed off the jade seal, so as not to destroy the two things, but also got rid of the relevant hints. The people who came here later didn't know how to walk at all.

Although Chen Ziyang thought of this, he didn't say it out. Even if he said it, it wouldn't help everyone. The most important thing now is to be vigilant and carefully deal with the possible traps in the maze.

While Chen Ziyang was thinking about these things, Chen Benzhong took out his compass, pointed to a passage and said, "From the point of view of the azimuth, the current direction of this passage should point to the center of the maze, and all the surrounding areas have been checked. No, there is no reminder, let's start from this passage first."

Soon, the people in the team gathered together and walked forward along this passage, while Chen Ziyang asked Yang Lei and Shan Shishuai to get closer to him. In case something happened, the three of them It's good to take care of each other. After all, if there is a dangerous situation, the most reliable are the other two.

This maze is very large.When walking along the outside of the underground palace before, everyone walked nearly five kilometers before seeing the steel gate. If the gate was placed in the center of the city wall, that is to say, this dragon vein underground palace is a side length of A square of ten kilometers.

Within such a large range, there may be countless forks, and they cannot be completed in a short period of time. Therefore, everyone in the team is prepared for a long-term struggle. They did not pursue speed when they were advancing. , but to seek stability.

Sure enough, after the team advanced 300 meters, a fork appeared, which just confirmed Chen Benzhong's previous guess that the overall structure of the maze should be extremely complicated, one fork after another, and the most critical point, These differences may also be connected to each other.

In addition, the city walls on both sides of the maze passage have no characteristics, they look exactly the same, people walking here are likely to get lost, and after a few forks, everyone may not remember where they have passed and where they have not.

Therefore, when advancing, Liu Cong ordered the last team member to mark the ground and use a sharp object to draw a line. In this way, as long as there is such a passage with such a scratch, the team has already passed. At least you can avoid repeating the path.

Fortunately, there are no magnets or other things placed in this underground maze, and the compass can still be used normally, which reassures the people in the team a lot.As long as the compass can be used, the team will have a general direction when moving forward, so that they won't go too far wrong, and won't get lost in this underground palace.
