The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

The so-called ghost hits the wall, which means walking back and forth in a circle repeatedly.

This is a plot that often appears in ghost movies. For example, in those horror school movies, the protagonist climbs the stairs crazily at night, but no matter how long he climbs, he always stays on a certain floor and can never get out.

Hearing Ye Qi's words, Xiao Lou stopped immediately and asked Lao Mo, "Has the compass changed?"

Mo Xuemin said: "We are walking on spiral steps, and the pointer of the compass keeps going around in circles."

Xiao Lou thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "Could it be circular motion?"

Everyone looked back at him, Xiao Lou explained: "Have you ever heard of an experiment? If you blindfolded human beings and let them walk in a straight line on a wide playground, you will eventually find that what you walk is actually A big circle."

He held down the voice headset to speak, so the words also reached the ears of the six members of the team on the other side.

Ye Qi was stunned: "Is this ghost hitting the wall? Does it really exist in reality?"

"Well." Xiao Lou nodded and said, "Biological research has found that the instinctive movement of any creature is circular motion. The fundamental reason is that there are subtle differences in the body structure of creatures. For example, the length of two legs of a person is actually not the same. Similarly, one leg takes a long step, and the other leg has a short distance, just like a compass with a small difference in outriggers, walking for a long time will draw a circle."

Xiao Lou paused, and added: "Usually, our eyes can find reference objects, and our brains are constantly positioning and correcting, so that we can walk out of a straight line. But once we are blindfolded and walk by feeling, any person will Get out of the circle. The same goes for other animals and birds, if you cover the eyes of the birds and let them fly in the sky, they will also fly out of a circle.”

Ye Qi suddenly realized: "That is to say, we are constantly circling the stairs. This spiral staircase seems to have no end. In fact, it is just an illusion produced by our eyes, causing our two legs to continuously move in a circle? "

Xiao Lou said: "That's right, this should be a labyrinth phantom. Otherwise, we've been walking down for dozens of meters, and the ancients couldn't have dug the tomb so deep."

Lao Mo agreed: "There must be something affecting our vision when the maze phantom appears. In fact, our eyes see the stairs going down, but there are no stairs here at all."

From an architectural point of view, the foundations of modern high-rise buildings will not be dug so deep.The ancients built a tomb, let alone have such a high level of technology, digging directly into the ground to a depth of [-] meters.

Lao Mo picked up the compass. At this time, the pointer of the compass pointed to north.

He remembered that when the compass had just been activated in the secret room, he had checked the direction, and the direction of the stairs going down was east.

Mo Xuemin took the compass and turned 90 degrees on the spot. The pointer on the compass shook for a moment, and Mo Xuemin locked the direction of "East".

He found that there was a wall in front of him.

The wall is no different from the surroundings, the entire wall is covered with blue-gray bricks, and there are some strange cloud pattern decorations on it.

Mo Xuemin walked towards the wall.

He reached out and pushed against the wall in front of him.

The next moment, everyone's eyes widened collectively——

I saw that Lao Mo's arm actually passed through the wall directly!

A flash of surprise flashed in Mo Xuemin's eyes, he continued to walk forward, his whole body seemed to be sucked in by the wall suddenly, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye!

Yu Hanjiang and the others immediately followed, and the five of them passed through the wall one by one...

Then they were shocked to find that they were actually in a spacious secret room as big as a basketball court!

Xiao Lou hastily notified the other team with a voice headset: "Senior Gui, if I remember correctly, when you found the compass in the secret room, the direction of the steps going down was west, right?"

Gui Yuanzhang said: "Yes."

Xiao Loudao: "Adjust the orientation and use the compass to locate the west, and then pass through the walls—these walls and steps are all illusions."

Hearing Xiao Lou's words, Gui Yuanzhang immediately turned around with the compass, and after locating the west side, he resolutely led his teammates through the wall.

His deep voice sounded next to Xiao Lou's ear; "It's a very large secret room."

It seems that Lao Mo's guess is right. The situations encountered by the two teams are basically similar, but now one team is facing east and the other is facing west. The directions are exactly opposite, which also confirms that this is a "symmetrical tomb". reasoning.

Gui Yuanzhang continued: "I see six walls, a pill furnace, and many strange spells here. Is it the same on your side?"

Xiao Lou glanced across the audience——

The tomb chamber of about [-] square meters is spacious and empty.

Different from the dark environment outside, the tomb is brightly lit. The shape of the whole room is like a hexagon, with six permanent lamps hanging on the six corners. At this time, the six lamps are all on, so everyone can see clearly. The scene in the tomb.

In the middle of the tomb was a one-meter-high bronze medicine shed, and a strange blue smoke came out of it.

Everyone immediately covered their mouths and noses vigilantly.

Yu Hanjiang frowned: "Is it poisonous?"

Xiao Lou analyzed: "It shouldn't be poisonous, otherwise, most of the challenger teams who didn't think of the principle of ghost hitting the wall would be poisoned to death by the smoke as they kept going down the stairs. Moreover, we walked up the stairs for 5 minutes, and our bodies Not uncomfortable."

Yu Hanjiang thought about it too, and he said: "It seems that this misty smoke is the culprit that caused us to have hallucinations."

Just now, they went down a flight of steps and walked into the tomb.

However, due to the influence of the green smoke, they had visual hallucinations.

The way they are actually walking is constantly turning around the secret room, which is why the compass pointer keeps turning around.But what their eyes saw was a spiral staircase leading to the dark hell.

Fortunately, everyone quickly realized that this was an illusion of ghosts hitting the wall, and relied on the correct direction of the compass pointer to break through the confusion.

Tang Ci released the mechanical ants to explore the way, and walked quickly around the house.

The ground was fine, the mechanical ants didn't encounter traps that fell into the pit, and didn't trigger any mechanisms like swords.

Only then did everyone walk to the medicine hut with peace of mind and observe carefully.

There are six spells pasted on the bronze medicine shed, and the surrounding six walls are also covered with spells. There are too many spells, almost covering the entire material, which looks weird.

Xiao Lou didn't understand the meaning of these spells, so he used a voice headset to ask the old senior.

Gui Yuanzhang's response was also: "I don't understand."

It's like a ghost painting.

The medicine house is the most common hexagonal shape, with a different colored charm attached to each side.

The structure of this secret room happened to be hexagonal, with strange ghost symbols pasted on the six walls, and hideous masks painted in colorful colors hung on the roof.The whole room, like a place where religious believers practice rituals, makes people feel creepy.

However, such a layout also easily reminds Xiao Lou of the opening method of the organ.

Xiao Loudao: "Let's first check whether there are hidden mechanisms on the six walls. If there are no hidden compartments on the walls, then the mechanism should be the medicine house in the middle. I guess, rotate the medicine house so that the spells on the medicine house and the six sides Corresponding to the spell on the wall, this secret room can be opened."

After all, the medicine house has six sides, and the secret room has exactly six walls.

There are spells on the medicine house and the wall, and rotating the medicine house corresponds to the spell on the wall, which is the most reasonable mechanism association.

Everyone walked separately; in front of the six walls, they tapped and pressed the bricks with their hands...

Soon, everyone reported the result: "No hidden mechanism was found."

It seems that Yaolu is the answer.

Everyone turned their eyes to the medicine house in the middle.

Liu Qiao carefully inspected the six charms on the medicine hut, and compared the charms on the wall, saying: "The charms on the wall are not the same as those on the medicine hut, and the talismans on the medicine hut have different colors. , What do these spells mean?"

Xiao Lou walked to the wall in the upper left corner.

He found that the strange patterns on the charms on this wall were very similar to some animals, pigs, cows, horses, and sheep. Because they were drawn on yellow paper with blood-red pens and the patterns were distorted, they were densely pasted all over the place. The wall, he couldn't tell for a moment.

After a closer look, it was confirmed that this wall was indeed filled with various animals.

On the second wall, there are many evil ghosts with claws and claws.

On the third wall, there are some strange scenes, and a door is drawn on many spells.

The talisman on the fourth wall draws the shapes of men and women. Both women and men are dancing. The dance movements are very similar to those seen on the stone gate, just like a dance that the ancients danced during sacrifices.

The fifth and sixth walls are full of ghostly symbols that cannot be seen.

Xiao Lou stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Six walls, hexagonal alchemy furnace, spells covering the walls...

What do these mean?
