Chapter 9: The Ghost Strikes the Wall


Oops, must I have encountered a ghost again and hit the wall?

I secretly shouted in my heart.

Without any hesitation, I immediately ran to the room where I came from in the first place, only to find that this room was actually the room where I and Fatty went to see Shirey Yang for the first time.

Damn it, it looks like I really encountered a ghost and hit a wall.

I remembered that Fatty and I had just split up to go look for Shirey Yang.

Strange images were appearing frequently here, and I didn’t know what was going on with him there.

So I shouted loudly: "Little Fatty, Little Fatty" and there was no answer at all.

I couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Shiry Yang and Xiaopang didn't respond.

They must have encountered some danger.

Originally, this trip to find the Chen family tomb was full of dangers.

The three of us suffered a lot, but we worked together to overcome the difficulties in Xichen Temple.

Fatty and Shiry Yang are not with me now.

If they are both in danger, they may be in trouble by themselves.

I suddenly became frightened when I thought that Fatty and Shiry Yang might be in danger somewhere.

How many times during the Vietnam War did I watch my comrades who were as close as brothers die in front of me.

They could not move or speak.

A living tough man turned into a corpse.

My heart shuddered.

I really could never I can't bear the feeling of loss.

I ran desperately towards another passage, and the room I entered was still not the one I had seen just now.

It was as if there were countless different rooms in this underground place, and they were like a revolving lantern, rotating around me.

I ran like crazy from one room to another in this large underground maze.

I lost count of how many rooms I saw, but I still didn’t see any trace of Fatty and Shiry Yang, and I saw one almost every time I walked.

New room that has not been visited before.

I shouted the names of Fatty and Shiry Yang loudly, but no one answered me.

No, I can't run around like this without any purpose anymore.

I have to think about how to get through this maze of obstacles.

A ghost is a person who cannot get out of a place no matter what.

Some people explain that this happens because the strength of the two legs of a person is different.

If you close your eyes and walk by feeling, you will think that you are walking in a straight line, but in fact you are walking in a straight line.

It's a big circle.

Because any object moves in a circular motion without interference from the outside world.

There is some truth to this statement, but it cannot explain why in the same place, if you go there in the past, you will be fine, but if you go to the same place, something will happen.

Some of the ghost walls are formed naturally, but it is unclear why.

Human cognition has not yet reached a certain level.

Some were deliberately made artificially to trap trespassers, just like this tower today.

But everything that is man-made must have flaws, and human wisdom is always inferior to the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.

The clue given by Lao Longtou is called "One Hundred Thousand Wronged Souls Pave the Road".

Could it be that the ghosts of those who died unjustly are really posing a problem for us, trying to kill us.

The three of us have fought together so many times, but this is the first time we have lost contact with each other.

Don't panic, you must stay calm, I said to myself.

I would never allow any misfortune to happen to either of them and leave me.

From the moment we boarded Chenghai Tower, there was always a mysterious feeling lingering around us.

This old dragon head was built by Qi Jiguang to fight against Japanese pirates.

Maybe these ghost walls were specially designed to resist Japanese pirate attacks.

I don’t believe that the ghosts who broke into the wall in Chenghai Tower this time were really caused by ghosts.

All the fights we had committed were mysterious and difficult to find.

Mysterious things happened one after another, but none of them were caused by the existence of real ghosts. .

I sat on the stone bench against the wall and carefully recalled the situation just now: Assume that the room where the fat man and I sat and talked is A, the room where I went to see Shiry Yang for the first time is B, and the table with a stone bed after returning is C. , the house that changed after returning is Ding, the house with scattered stone benches is Wu, and the house with the stove is Ji.

I ran back and forth between these rooms several times, and these six rooms were on the same passage.

First, the fat man and I chatted in A, and then went to room B on the right side of A.

When we returned to A, we found that A had become C, and when we returned to B, we found that B had become D.

He returned from D to C, and then passed through C to go to the room E on the left.

When he returned from E to C, he found that C had turned into himself.

After running to his right, he found that he had arrived at B.

It is basically certain that B and D are on the right, A, C and himself are in the middle, and E is on the left.

Why did I find that A had become C when I returned from B?

Could it be that this stone house can move on its own?

I shook my head.

Such advanced technology probably did not exist during Qi Jiguang's time.

Then there must be some ingenious design that confused my eyes and made me think that I was returning the same way, but in fact I took another fork in the road.

I looked around me carefully.

There is a stone bed in my current room, which means I am in Bingli now.

According to my speculation just now, on my right side should be B and D.

I looked at the wall carefully with my wolf eyes and slowly walked to the right to see if there was anything unusual.

The entire house is made of identical large bluestones, arranged in an orderly manner to form walls more than two meters high.

I'm about 1.82 meters tall.

Because the ceiling in this room is not high, I feel a little depressed in this room.

The light from the wolf's eyes seemed a little weak in the dark basement where no light penetrated.

I struggled to identify the marks on the wall and floor.

But after exiting the door, there was still a wide passage.

I walked slowly forward along the right side of the passage.

At this time I suddenly discovered some problems.

The bluestone in this passage is not like the bluestone in the house, which is a horizontal and vertical cuboid, but has a narrow front end and a wide back end.

I hurriedly took a few steps back and found that the bluestone had changed since I left the door.

It is no longer a rectangle, but has become a trapezoid.

I continued to walk forward and slowly looked at the bluestones on the wall.

They were all trapezoidal.

After walking a short distance, I came to room D.

I searched carefully inside Room D, but there was no flaw at all.

Like Room C, it was made of large rectangular bluestones.

The only difference was that there was no exit on the other side of Room D, and it was a dead end.

It seems that there are no clues in this room.

I walked slowly back to C along the passage.

This time C was still C, no change.

But I came to C through B, which means there must be a passage from C to B.

I returned to the door of Channel C and continued walking along the left side of the channel.

At this time, I discovered that the bluestone in the passage was not a trapezoid but a cuboid.

I immediately looked at the wall on the right side of the passage with my wolf eyes and found that the bluestone building the wall was a trapezoid.

I understood.

As expected, I was bewildered by this cleverly designed house.

The left wall of the passage is made of cuboids, and the right side is made of trapezoids, which results in different curvatures on the walls on both sides.

The left stone wall made of rectangular blocks moves forward in a straight line, while the right stone wall moves forward in an arc direction.

In addition, the passage is very wide.

People will instinctively choose to move against one wall out of self-protection in a dark and unfamiliar environment.

If they stick to different walls, they will be led to different rooms.

In other words, going straight forward along the left side will gradually deviate from the straight direction along the right side.

If I'm not wrong, proceed along the left wall to reach Room B.

After walking for a while, I found room B.

It seems that the ghost-on-the-wall design designed by Qi Jiguang still fails to get rid of the basic principle of ghost-on-the-wall, and creates different results through imperceptible differences on both sides.

After thinking about this, I felt more relieved.

I immediately walked out of Room B, walked along the other wall, and sure enough, I arrived in Room A.

And after passing through room A, he came to room E, and from room E to himself, who in turn led to room B.

That explains it all.

After understanding the basic structure of ghost-attacking the wall, I felt much more at ease.

It seems that Fatty and Shiry Yang are also trapped in a ghost wall and can't get out.

I need to find them quickly to prevent them from encountering more dangers.

At first, I was too impatient to find Shiry Yang and fell into chaos.

Now that I understand the truth, I feel like I am beyond the design of this ghost wall.

The criss-crossing passages are extremely clear in my eyes, as if I already have a blueprint in my heart.

I looked for the fat man in the direction he ran.

Sure enough, these were new rooms, but the reason was basically consistent with what I expected.

This time I no longer acted rashly because I was anxious, but carefully observed the bluestones on both sides of the passage, looking for the fat man from room to room.

I just walked to the door of a room, and suddenly a strong wind rushed towards me from the door.

I lowered my head subconsciously, and there was a clang, which was the sound of some kind of iron object hitting the wall.

Before I could straighten up, another strong wind hit me.

In a hurry, I rolled on the spot and dodged easily.

Before I could stand up, I shouted again: "Fat man, I'm the one who owns you."

The engineer's shovel that was called stopped his attack, and the fat man threw the engineer's shovel away and pulled me up from the ground.

He hugged me and said, "Old Hu, where have you gone?

This city tower is so damn weird.

I've been wandering around here for more than an hour.

If you don't come, I'll dig into the wall."

I was almost choked by him and couldn't breathe.

I quickly broke away from the fat man's arms, rubbed my butt that was hurt by the fall just now, and said, "You are so careless.

You didn't even see who came up and started shoveling.

I If I dodge slowly, I'll be treated like a watermelon by now.

Fortunately, you don't have the brains to shoot me, otherwise you would have just waited to bury me."

The fat man ignored me and insulted him, and quickly asked me: "Lao Hu, are you fucking trying to break the wall?

I'm so fucking sweaty in these rooms that I can't get out, and I don't know what you are talking about with Shirey Yang."

What happened?

How did you find me?"

I briefly told the fat man the principle behind this ghost breaking a wall.

After hearing this, the fat man slapped his thigh and said, "Damn it, why can't I get around it?"

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

I remember that we were once in an ancient tomb in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The Soul-Suspended Ladder seems to be using the same principle.

Anyway, it just accidentally caught people's attention.

Do you think these ancient people were so damn idle that they didn't think about anything else every day?

How could they just do research?

Trapped people.”

I said: "This old dragon head was built by General Qi Jiguang.

In order to fight against the invasion of Japanese pirates, maybe he built this ghost wall to trap the Japanese pirates if they were unfortunate enough to enter the tower."

The fat man said curiously: "I remember last time when we were on the Hanging Soul Staircase, you said that this kind of inconspicuous little illusion can only be used when there are few people.

If the Japanese pirates really invade, thousands of them will rush in and destroy this underground place."

The place is full, what’s the use of this fucking wall?”

I was stunned.

The fat man was right.

Things like ghost walls and hanging soul ladders can only trap a few people.

Once there are more people, they are useless.

Why didn't I think of that?

I patted the fat man on the shoulder and said, "Okay, little fat man, you have made rapid enough progress, and now you can draw inferences from one example to other cases.

It seems that nothing can stop a mind that pursues progress.

I really can't think about it for a moment."

Now that we understand what this ghost is doing for breaking the wall, let’s go find Shiry Yang quickly.”

When the fat man heard this, he said: "Yang Shen hasn't been found yet.

Stop talking nonsense.

Let's look for it quickly.

It's been so long.

Most likely, we are trapped in this ghost wall."

After saying that, he picked up his backpack.

Just run out.

I grabbed the fat man and carried him back: "Where are you running?

It's like a maze here.

Study the route first and then find it.

This is called sharpening the knife and chopping wood."

The fat man said with pain in his arms: "Can I not be anxious?

Shiry Yang has been missing for so long.

If something happens to her, it depends on what you will do.

There is no regret medicine in this world."

Of course I know what the fat man said in my heart.

In fact, no one in the whole world is more anxious about Shiry Yang's safety than me.

But it's useless to be anxious now.

This ghost's wall-breaking formation is so weird.

What if he follows the fat man's impatience?

Come on, I don't know what danger will happen at this time.

Now that Shiry Yang has disappeared, I can't let Fatty appear in any danger again.

"Fat man, listen to me.

Although we have guessed the principles of these rooms now, it is inevitable that we will encounter other things.

Shiry Yang is gone and you are anxious, but I am actually more anxious than you, but anxious It can't solve the problem.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

We can only go to her on the basis of maintaining and preserving the current combat effectiveness.

Otherwise, we will lose our wife and lose our troops.

And once we are in danger, how can we go to Shirey Yang?

"I said to the fat man.

The fat man thought to himself that this was indeed the case, so he stopped being excited and said to me: "Old Hu, let's see what we are going to do today.

We have understood the principle of beating the wall, so let's go back to it."

You can push it back.

Shiry Yang is now in any of these rooms, but she is not fixed, because if she had not discovered the secret of breaking the wall, she might still be going from room to room.

Walking from house to house, he said so.

Come on, we must go in a certain order, but this search cannot be in the order I walked before, because I have already walked around in a circle and did not find the shadow of Shirey Yang, which means that Shirey Yang is also When she is in motion, she just doesn’t know which room she is moving between.

For example, if two people are walking in the same direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise, you will definitely not be able to touch each other, but as long as one of them can turn around.

Go down so that you can meet each other.

Of course, there is also the possibility that both people will turn around, so we now leave a mark for Shirey Yang in the room we are in.

If she can pass this room, Just let her wait for us here and don't go anywhere.

Then even if we come back in a circle, we can meet her here.

"The fat man said it right, so he did what he said.

The fat man and I took it out of the bag.

Paratrooper knife, carved on the wall " "Stay here and wait for us, Lao Hu."

With these big words, Fatty and I started walking to the next room.

If I guessed correctly, the room we were in now should be C.

Let's go from room C to room D to check. , there was no room in D's room, so we went back to room C from the other side to room E, and then from room E to room J, but there was no room in J's room, and then we went to room B, and there was no room in B either, so We can only go to A or C next.

Because there are two entrances to room B, the deviation of the ghost wall seemed to start from room B.

We went to room A first, which was the room we entered at the beginning, and there was no Shiry Yang.

We simply turned back and went via B to C where we had left a mark before.

Before we got to C's room, I heard the sound of a person walking in the room.

The fat man and I ran over happily.

The people in this room...

Who else could it be if it wasn't Shiry Yang?

Shiry Yang was anxiously waiting for us alone.

When she saw Fatty and I suddenly appeared and ran towards her, tears immediately flowed down her face.

She was really wronged, walking around in this maze by herself.

This kind of Not everyone can bear the feeling of loneliness and the depression of the tense atmosphere.

Maybe it is okay for two people to bear it together, or for multiple people to bear it together, but Shiry Yang is a weak woman after all.

It's not easy.

I ran over, hugged her tightly, and said while hugging her: "It's okay, it's okay.

Look, haven't we found you now?

It's okay, it's all over."

Shiry Yang was just sobbing lightly, but when I said this, her tears burst into tears and she cried even harder.

Even though Fatty and I have experienced so many dangers and have never been helpless, when it comes to women, Fatty and I really have no choice at all.

I can only hold Shirey Yang tighter in my arms.

The fat man could only smile bitterly and shook his head.

Shiry Yang just cried like this for a while, and gradually recovered.

After all, she is also someone who has experienced strong winds and waves with us.

Normally, she might not cry because of such things.

In fact, there are many times when she suddenly experiences certain things.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

Or certain scenes can make a person unable to control his emotions.

Shiry Yang may feel like this now.

"Okay, now that Shiry Yang has been found, let's discuss what the next step should be."

I said.

"We have walked through these houses many times just now, and we didn't find any strange places or other valuable clues.

Is it possible that there are no clues we want in there at all?"

said the fat man.

"As we said before, since Qi Jiguang can set up such a level in Laolongtou, he is definitely not here to resist Japanese pirates, because Japanese pirates usually go out in groups.

Levels like Ghosts Breaking the Wall, there are many people It will definitely have no effect after it is removed, so it is completely untenable to use it to resist Japanese pirates, but what is this level used for?

I think this is used to confuse people who want to come in and look for something.

This means that there must be something worth the effort to protect.

These things must be inside this old dragon head.

"What we are looking for must be them.

The key now is how we can find this passage to find them," I said.

Shiry Yang saw me like this and said: "Since we have figured out the reason behind these ghosts breaking the wall, and we have walked through each house one by one, it means that our clues are not in these houses, and these houses Maybe it was just a cover, deliberately letting us jump in and then get stuck in it without being able to get out.

In fact, the real passage and clues might be in the room where we started, because if most people want to look for clues, If you don't, you won't look at the entrance too carefully, because there is already a door open for you in front.

This is actually a psychological effect of people, and they will naturally pay less attention to this room.

To pay attention to those rooms that have not yet been searched, this is called exploratory psychology, so I think our focus now should be to retreat to the previous room.

If there are no clues in that room, then we should Let’s go back and discuss it later.”

We returned to the previous room along the same route.

Along the way, Shirey Yang, Fatty, and I held our hands tightly together, for fear that something would go wrong and we would lose contact again.

As long as we understand that ghosts can defeat walls The principle is that it will be much easier to walk again.

It didn't take long before we arrived.

This room was still the same as the original one.

There are also stone benches, stone tables and other things placed, but I always feel that something is strange, but I can’t tell exactly where it is.

We started looking for clues in this room.

This room is made of that kind of green It was built with huge slabs of stone.

The traces of time have worn away a large part of the walls inside this house, which is also related to the fact that this house was built on the seaside.

We searched like this for a long time, but we didn't find any clues, so we couldn't help but feel a little downcast.

The fat man sat down on the stone bench and said, "Didn't you all say that there would be clues in this room?

Why didn't I find any after searching for a long time?"

I'm also wondering.

Could it be that Shiry Yang and I were wrong in our judgment?

Maybe there's nothing here that can help us find clues.

No, I finally knew something was wrong.

The stone table and stone bench were actually changed.

Originally, the stone bench and stone table were heading to the south, but now they are heading to the north.

This is definitely not my visual difference, because before Fatty While sitting on the stone bench facing the stone table, I looked at him What I saw was the wall, but now, what I see is the passage of the room, and the stone bench must be the same stone bench, because I remember its configuration, and what’s even stranger is that although the direction of the stone bench and the stone table has changed , but their relative positions have not changed at all, which is really strange I quickly told Shiry Yang and Fatty about my findings, and they all suddenly realized it, and we all couldn't help but have the same question, that is, who moved the stone table and stone bench, and the reason for moving this, what exactly is If you want to know the answer to this question, you have to wait until we repeat this operation again.

But how do we keep this stone table and stone bench so relatively consistent?

When we turn from one direction to the other, we quickly Go and research if there are any mechanisms around you.

Sure enough, under the stone table and chopping board, if you don't look carefully, you can't see a very small stone plate at all.

We turned the stone plate according to the direction.

After turning, we only heard a few "rumbling" sounds. , the ground under the stone table and the stone bench suddenly rose an inch apart, and turned towards the south.

After turning to the south, only a "click" was heard, like the sound of a mechanical jamming, the stone table and the stone bench The stool lowered again.

"I know what's going on with this institution.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

When we first entered, as long as the stone bench didn't move, we would definitely be able to get out of one of the rooms after breaking the ghost wall.

In other words, except for those who gave us The house where we create optical illusions must still be There is a hidden room, and this mechanism must be the key to open that room.

When we entered just now, someone closed this mechanism outside, so if we can't break through the ghost wall, we will definitely be trapped and die in the end.

Inside, for life We can’t get out.

Who is secretly following us and tampering with this mechanism is unknown.

He must have thought that we couldn’t get out.

Otherwise, if he had been wary, he would have been among those we got out of just now.

When the house came back here, I took action, so I felt Well, that mysterious man has left, and if we want to find out who that mysterious man is now, it is simply impossible.

The only thing we really have to do now is to quickly find the clues we are looking for, and then use the clues to find this person.

Who is this mysterious person?"

I said.

"His grandma, someone actually set a trap for us.

After the fat man finds him, he will be tied up and beaten until he cries for father and mother," the fat man said angrily.

"Without further delay, let's set off quickly, otherwise if the person comes back later if he is worried, we will be in really bad luck."

Shiry Yang said.

The three of us entered that room again, and followed the principle of ghosts breaking through walls and walked around each room clockwise.

When we turned to the last room, we found that, as expected, the one we walked through before was Next to the door, a slightly smaller door appeared.

This door should be the entrance to the hidden room controlled by the mechanism just now.

We entered this door one after another, and what appeared in front of us was a small room, and there was a very small door on the wall next to this room.

This small door is so small that only one person can pass through it while squatting.

It is like a dog hole.

We want to see where this dog hole leads to.

As we were walking that way, suddenly, "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" three sharp arrows were shot at us.

We were shocked and rushed to the side to avoid them.

Shiry Yang and I were quite agile, and both of us just threw ourselves on the ground and were covered in dust.

Fatty didn't throw himself well because he was too big, and a dog chewed up a mouthful of dirt.

It was as funny as that.

"There is a mechanism in here.

I stepped on a damn one just now.

It was filled with arrows and nothing else."

The fat man said angrily.

It turns out that this room was vacated not for anything else, but to lure others to step on this mechanism.

It was so thrilling, we almost got hit by an arrow, and the tip of the arrow was black and oily.

It must have been smeared with poison.

The slightest touch could kill us.

We were lying on the ground now, not daring to move, for fear that if we moved we would trigger the mechanism again.

We lay on the ground for a while and slowly crawled towards the entrance of the cave.

Although we were only a few steps away from the entrance of the cave, we were still far from where we were just now.

It seemed like it took centuries to climb to the entrance of the cave, and I was dripping with cold sweat.

Shiry Yang climbed to the door first and went in first, followed by Fatty and I.

After entering the cave, I found that after entering the cave, there was a long and narrow passage.

It was completely different from the airtight feeling in the room just now.

As soon as I entered through the door, I felt the wind blowing from the front, with a strong wind.

The strong fishy smell of sea water.

Fortunately, none of us were injured.

We were just a little tired after searching around in these rooms too many times, but we all understood that now was not the time to rest.

As soon as we entered, we encountered a wall.

There may be other agencies waiting for us in the future, so we must be very alert.

After the exhaustion of breaking the formation and the danger of poisonous arrows, several of us were a little sleepy.

In order to cheer up Fatty and Shiry Yang, I said: "Our Hu Fatty Yang gold-finding team has successfully reunited again.

What does it mean?"

No such difficulty can stump us, as are all reactionaries.

Paper tiger, what Grandpa Mao said can still be reflected in all aspects.

He is indeed a great man of his generation.

The summary is that it makes sense.

Now that victory is in sight, we must continue our efforts and keep moving forward.

Come on, comrades, if this mission can be successful. , then our rewards will be very generous.”

Fatty and Shiry Yang looked at me and both smiled bitterly.

Indeed, our mission this time is much more difficult than the previous mission, but the reward is also greater.

"Old Hu, you don't need to encourage us anymore.

We all know in our hearts that we should make peace with what we have come to.

Since we have already reached this point, how can we give up halfway?

No one of you can give up, but I am fat.

I won't give up easily," the fat man said.

"Of course we have to advance and retreat together and share adversities.

If you two, Lao Hu and Fatty, want to gain benefits without taking me with you, that's impossible," Shiry Yang also said decisively.

I suddenly felt very moved.

I am an ordinary person who has neither a lot of money nor power across the world.

Moreover, I am still working in the most unorthodox profession, but I can still make two friends who are so sincere and sincere, and who share life and death together.

Suddenly there was something in my heart that I couldn't express, and it was stuck in my chest, like a warm current, and I suddenly felt that all the fatigue before was suddenly swept away.

"Okay, since everyone is in agreement, let's go find our clues without further ado
