Chapter 2132 Soul Suspended Ladder

Yang Xueli immediately asked: "What is the date of the 22nd year of Zhenguan?"

"I know I know!"

Da Jinya finally had a chance to show off, and he said excitedly: "The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are in the year of Wushen."

Shirley Yang said with some doubts: "Are you sure?"

"Of course I am sure, Mr. Hu, if I am wrong, I will die here today!"

Although Da Jinya vowed, Hu Bayi still looked at Zhao Shucheng subconsciously. Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Jin is right."

Following Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi, they rotated the armillary sphere. After it landed on Wushen, the three tracks began to rotate rapidly, and the entire tomb chamber also rotated. They rotated for about half a minute before stopping.

Hu Bayi said: "No, it's not here. We must have missed something."

"The New Book of Tang says that Li Chunfeng's Huntian instrument has three levels in the middle and a base in the bottom. How come there are only two tracks?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "This third one corresponds to the twenty-eight constellations."

After Zhao Shucheng found another hidden orbit and pointed it at the corresponding stars, the tomb became quiet.

But soon everyone discovered something was wrong. Yang Xueli pointed to the ground and the pillar next to it and said, "What is that?"

Zhao Shucheng took a look and said: "Everyone covers their mouths and noses, or uses towels and clothes as gas masks. This is mercury."

I saw mercury flowing on the ground, climbing up the pillars, and even slowly appearing above my head, showing a picture.

"what?"

"These are the twenty-eight constellations, which means we are allowed to choose one among the twenty-eight."

Wang Kaixuan was a little confused after hearing this, and said: "Choose one from twenty-eight, how do you choose? He obviously wants to kill us directly, but he also asks us to choose an answer before we die."

Zhao Shucheng was happy and said: "Fat man, we won't die that easily. Besides, choosing one of the twenty-eight is not random. We have just chosen Dou Su and the birth gate."

The fat man still didn't believe it. Just when he was about to say something, he heard the sound of a mechanism turning from inside the tomb. The door just closed immediately, but another tomb door opened.

"Is it still a trap this time?" Fatty Wang said hesitantly: "Is this Li Chunfeng a Feng Shui master or not? This trap looks like a trap, and it looks like he is a trap master."

"Let's go, this is not the end, but rather the starting point. According to Li Chunfeng's style, there are still agencies below."

Several people walked through the tomb door and came to a row of stairs. Both sides of the stairs were empty, as if they were a passage in the abyss.

"Master Hu, where is this place? Why is it so dark? Look at both sides. Is it deep?"

Wang Kaixuan lowered his head and looked down, feeling a little weak. After all, it was pitch black down here, and the flashlight could only illuminate one or two meters below, leaving him unable to see the rest. He was originally afraid of heights, but now he was even more panicked when he saw this. He only dared to stand in the middle of the stairs and walk forward.

Hu Bayi also frowned and looked at both sides of the passage. It didn't look like an abyss in any way, but why was there no bottom? If there was really an abyss below, how was the ladder trimmed? It couldn't be the same. It was flat ground at first, and then the bottom was hollowed out, right? This is such a huge project. Can Li Chunfeng really build such a large project by himself?

Zhao Shucheng dropped something casually and didn't hear anything for a long time. The others became even more nervous and said, "Oh my god, is it so deep?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not an abyss down here. The reason why it looks so deep is just using our visual illusion."

Seeing others looking at him with some confusion, Zhao Shucheng said: "It's actually not as deep down here as we imagined. It's just that we use light-absorbing paint to make it look unfathomable. It's just to make us mistakenly think it's here." It’s an abyss, and since we are walking through the only passage in the abyss, we have no way of thinking about whether this passage really exists or even whether it is that long.”

"If I'm not wrong, the layout here is a hanging soul ladder."

Fatty Wang and others asked curiously: "Suspended Soul Ladder, what is this?"

Hu Bayi looked at Zhao Shucheng in shock and said, "Mr. Zhao, are you sure it's the Hanging Soul Ladder?"

Fatty Wang looked at Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi in confusion and said, "No. Old Hu, what did you tell Mr. Zhao about the Hanging Soul Ladder? What is it? Apart from the fact that it's a little higher, I don't think there's anything scary about it?" "

Hu Bayi glanced at Fatty Wang and said: "The Hanging Soul Ladder does not mean that there are any ghosts or gods, but it is a strange mechanism, just like a ghost breaking a wall. If there is no way to crack it, the people who come in will It will continue here forever.”

Fatty Wang didn't expect Hu Bayi's words to be so serious, and said nervously: "Since you know this soul-hanging ladder, there should be a way to crack it, right? Old Hu, Mr. Zhao, we can't die here, we haven't enjoyed it yet Live life.”

Zhao Shucheng said speechlessly: "Fat man, do you think a small hanging soul ladder can hold me and Lao Hu back?"

"You guys wait here, I'll walk through it again."

Zhao Shucheng was actually very curious about the Hanging Soul Ladder. After all, it was rare to encounter such a wonderful thing in life. It would be a pity not to experience it.

As Zhao Shucheng walked forward, although the others didn't know what Zhao Shucheng was doing, they still stood there obediently, waiting for Zhao Shucheng to come back.

But two minutes later, Zhao Shucheng appeared from behind them, which shocked Wang Kaixuan.

"Master Zhao, why are you coming from behind?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "This hanging soul ladder is really interesting. If you are not a careful person, it is really difficult to find the problems in it."

"No, Master Zhao, please tell us what's going on." Da Jinya asked anxiously. "This Soul-Hanging Staircase is also called the Penrose Staircase. It is a well-known geometric paradox. If you walk forward or backward, you will never reach the end. On the surface, you can see people walking upward on the ladder, or walking upward. Walking down, you are actually spinning on a horizontal surface.”

"I counted just now. From the time I set out until I came back here, there are a total of 384 steps. It doesn't seem like much on the surface, but if you follow the algorithm of the Zhouyi Bagua, Tai Chi produces two yangs, and two yangs produce four Xiang, the four symbols generate Bagua, and the Bagua interacts to generate sixty-four hexagrams, and each hexagram has six lines, a total of three hundred and eighty-four, which exactly corresponds to these three hundred and eighty-four steps."

"Looking at the stairs under our feet, each step has less obvious changes in light and shade. We can also simply use yin and yang to distinguish them. Dark colors are yang and light colors are yin."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "But there is the simplest solution, and it is also a method that ordinary people will never use."

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng led a group of people towards the front. After walking downhill for a while and preparing to start going uphill, Zhao Shucheng jumped into the abyss next to the stairs without waiting for others to react.

The others were not prepared and were startled by Zhao Shucheng's actions. They immediately looked down nervously. Wang Kaixuan even shouted: "Master Zhao, why are you so obsessed with it? What will we do if you leave?"

After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but look at the top with disgust and said: "Fat man, what are you talking about? What can happen to me? If you can't think about it, I can't think about it. You guys can come down too. It's not high here, and there's only one way out. Here. But you must jump from where I came down, other places are not safe."

The others were relieved when they heard Zhao Shucheng's voice, and were really worried that Zhao Shucheng had something up his sleeve.

Since they knew that Zhao Shucheng was fine, they naturally jumped down, and they were all a little nervous. But after I actually jumped down, I realized that it was indeed not high, just over two meters. If it hadn't been so dark down there, I'd probably have noticed the problem and jumped down.

Of course, if you can't find the right position and jump down directly, you may jump directly into the real abyss on the side, which will kill you.

After a few people gathered together and Zhao Shucheng led them for a certain distance, Wang Kaixuan said: "Master Zhao, are you taking the wrong path? Isn't this still the Hanging Soul Ladder?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and pointed ahead with his flashlight and said, "Fat man, what did you see?"

"What? It's not steps, it's steps, what else?" Wang Kaixuan said nonchalantly.

But Shirley Yang said: "No, there is no light-absorbing material here. You can see far away. We have already walked out."

Wang Kaixuan and Dajin Yasong breathed a sigh of relief and followed Zhao Shucheng forward. After walking for three or four minutes, they reached the end of the steps and entered a cave.

Wang Kaixuan saw the situation in the cave and said, "No, are we back? Why do I feel like we are back in the maze again?"

Da Jinya said: "Okay, Fat Master, it's good enough that we can walk out of it. Even if we return to the maze, it's better than being trapped in it to death."

But soon everyone made new discoveries. There were some paintings painted on the rocks in the cave. Among them were the layout of the hanging soul ladder and the schematic diagram of the tomb chamber above. It looked like the armillary sphere had been flattened.

Now everyone was more sure that there was a soul-hanging ladder inside and that the tomb was moving slowly, which gave the impression that the exit had disappeared.

However, they did not stay here for too long and continued to move forward for a while. When they reached a fork in the road, Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi discussed it and chose one of the paths to go over.

After a while, the group of people walked out of the cave and came to a huge cave. It looked like a huge square, and there were many stone pillars in it.

At the end of the square, more than a hundred meters away from the entrance of the cave, you can see a palace-style building.

Others were very happy when they saw the palace, thinking that this was where the Hades Palace was, and they finally found it.

Zhao Shucheng looked around and said: "Everyone, be careful, this is the territory of the Black-faced Cockroach again. In other words, we have arrived under the cave of the Black-faced Cockroach."

When the others heard what Zhao Shucheng said, they couldn't help but look around nervously. They didn't see the cave with a black face and a human face, and said, "Master Zhao, did you guess wrong?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "That's right, and it's already here!"

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng pulled out the long sword from his backpack and stared closely at the back of the group. The others also shined their flashlights and saw a huge spider walking out from behind.

If the previous spider was about the size of a person, this one was as big as a car. It even left small holes with its claws on the rocks on the ground.

"Master Zhao, why is this spider so big? What should we do? It would be great if we had a gun. We can definitely kill it." Wang Kaixuan said nervously, holding the engineer shovel.

Hu Bayi also nervously took out his engineering shovel and said to Zhao Shucheng: "Master Zhao, let's go together this time!"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Shirley Yang who took out the diamond umbrella and said, "Okay, you three just protect yourselves. Such a big spider might have become a spirit. I don't want to deal with it by myself." Coming to save you. '

Zhao Shucheng walked in the direction of the black-faced spider with his long sword in hand, being vigilant along the way to avoid getting tangled in its webs. If such a big spider really attacks with spider silk, Zhao Shucheng cannot guarantee that he will not be entangled, and it will be difficult to break free.

The spider seemed to feel that Zhao Shucheng was not easy to mess with, but he did not choose to back down, and instead pounced towards Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng naturally didn't waste any time. He flew directly under the spider's body and struck a sword at its belly, directly slicing the spider's belly and preventing him from spraying the spider silk with force.

What happened next was much simpler. Facing the spider's eight-legged attack, he easily cut off the spider's eight legs as if for a joke, leaving it trapped in place motionless.

When Hu Bayi and others saw Zhao Shucheng defeating the big spider, they immediately said excitedly: "Master Zhao, this is amazing!" '

Zhao Shucheng said: "It's nothing. Let's enter the Hades Palace quickly. After a while, other spiders will notice and catch up, and the danger will be great."

Hu Bayi and others nodded and said: "That's true. When we enter the Hades Palace, we don't have to be attacked from both sides and can resist the attacks of these spiders."

However, Zhao Shucheng knew that things were not that simple. Regardless of whether there were traps in the Hades Palace, these spiders would probably not approach the Hades Palace and would only wait outside for Zhao Shucheng and the others to come out.

However, I didn't tell Hu Bayi and the others last time, so it would do no good to make them worry. After getting the Dragon Bone Book, it would not be difficult for Zhao Shucheng to lead them to fight a bloody road.

But what makes Zhao Shucheng a little strange is that he and others are under the spider cave. Why can't they hear the movement above? Could it be that Ma Dadan and others have all been killed by spiders?
