Tomb Keeper: My clone is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor

Chapter 108 He let us choose ourselves, only one of the three can survive!A strange technique has also been added here!
Who?
Zu Chongzhi!
When they heard Feng Taichu's name, the other two people were stunned.

At the same time, the people in the Exploration Bureau immediately broke out after the initial silence.

"How did I forget him?"

"That's right! There really was such a person in history, the originator of our mathematics, Mr. Wen Yuan!"

"He is the originator of our mathematics. He calculated the accurate pi simply by relying on mental arithmetic, more than 1000 years earlier than the West!"

"After careful calculation, it is really possible! Moreover, Mr. Wen Yuan is not only proficient in arithmetic, but also extremely proficient in astronomy, geography, and even mechanics!"

For a moment, everyone in the exploration bureau exclaimed, causing him, Feng Taichu and the two of them to quickly calculate in their hearts.

Yes, why did you forget this person?
Zu Chongzhi was indeed a person from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, hundreds of years earlier than the Northern Qi Dynasty, and a person from the late Southern Qi Dynasty.

Throughout his life, he made great contributions to Chinese arithmetic and other aspects.

Just relying on mental arithmetic, he calculated the accurate pi, and later people even called pi the ancestral rate.

Moreover, "Anbian Lun", "Zhu Shu" and "Shu Yi Ji" compiled by Zu Chongzhi also laid a huge foundation for astronomy, geography and arithmetic.

If it were him, maybe it would be possible to bring the Hanging Soul Ladder into reality!

However, this is also a bit far-fetched.

After all, there was no precise measurement equipment in Zu Chongzhi's time. Even if he knew a lot about arithmetic, he wouldn't be able to do it to this extent.

Thinking of this, Feng Taichu frowned and said, "Logically speaking, Mr. Wen Yuan's age matches the year recorded on the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Map."

"But the theory of the Hanging Soul Ladder requires too many precise calculations. How could he do it?"

Hearing this, Liu Fuxiang was also puzzled.

But Zhang Defu shook his head and said: "So I am just guessing, I can't be sure at all, but Zu Chongzhi may be the only person closest to the truth."

"You know, not only did he make a huge contribution to pi, but he even calculated the period of the confluence of the five major planets, including metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, to the minute and second by relying on the methods at the time."

"It was not possible to draw a conclusion at that time, but after modern people used equipment to review it, they found that the maximum error in the date of the five-star conjunction he calculated was not even more than 0.019 hours!"

"In today's era, even if the West has high-tech equipment, it would take at least half a month to calculate this kind of achievement!"

hiss!
Hearing Zhang Defu's words, Feng Taichu immediately took a breath.

He didn't know as much as Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu, but he never expected that such a method would appear during the Northern and Southern Dynasties?
Is it really possible for a person like Zu Chongzhi to figure out how to build the Hanging Soul Ladder?
If you think about it carefully, maybe this is really possible.

Judging from historical records, the Southern and Northern Dynasties were a time of great explosion of scientific theories.

But in contrast, there were not many outstanding physicists in that era.

Perhaps the only person who could lead the entire era and achieve a technological explosion in the Northern and Southern Dynasties was Zu Chongzhi.

At this time, Zhang Defu continued: "But these records can only be used as supporting evidence. What really makes me feel incredible is that in addition to arithmetic, Zu Chongzhi is also a master of mechanical science!"

"Old books from the Northern Qi Dynasty record that Zu Chongzhi designed a compass with water-milled and rotating bronze parts, as well as a precise timer!"

"Even the seismograph has been modified by him. The most outrageous thing is that he also built a thousand-mile ship that can travel a hundred miles in a day."

Gollum!

After listening to Zhang Defu's explanation, Feng Taichu felt his scalp numb. Zu Chongzhi turned out to be such an outstanding person.

If you think about it carefully, maybe he can actually do it.
After swallowing his saliva, Feng Taichu also nodded and said: "If you put it this way, Zu Chongzhi lived in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Map records that the year when the Hanging Soul Ladder appeared is also reasonable."

"Based on the year that Emperor Xiaozhao was buried, if Zu Chongzhi could develop the soul-hanging ladder, it would have been perfect by that time!"

At this time, Zhang Defu also nodded and said: "That's right! History is recorded by people, so there are many places in it that cannot be verified!"

"But the more this happens, the more likely it is that many things in history have not been recorded, and we have no way of knowing."

"Maybe the history we know is just a corner of the cornice. Zu Chongzhi may have developed something more powerful, and maybe the Hanging Soul Ladder is one of them!"

That's right!

There are many things in history that cannot be verified, so maybe Zu Chongzhi actually created the Hanging Soul Ladder, but it's not certain.

Thinking of this, everyone in the Exploration Bureau also became excited.

"Zu Chongzhi actually created the Hanging Soul Ladder?"

"Maybe it is possible, because many things in history have not been recorded. This is why our expedition team wants to develop tombs. The purpose is to find the missing parts of the historical faults!"

"Although, there are many scum among them. Ming Shenzong's tomb is a pity! Those scum actually coveted the funerary objects inside and destroyed important documents. It is simply a shame for our expedition team!"

"Wait! You are all going off topic. What we are talking about now is the Hanging Soul Ladder! I have a question. If the Hanging Soul Ladder was researched by the Northern and Southern Dynasties, why does it appear in the tombs of the Qin Dynasty?"

For a time, people in the Exploration Bureau began to make various speculations, and they were also puzzled about Zhang Defu. How could this organ from the Southern and Northern Dynasties appear in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?

The year doesn't match up.

etc.
Just as he was thinking of this, Feng Taichu suddenly frowned and said, "Could it be that the tombkeeper did it?"

hiss!
Hearing this, both Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu took a deep breath.

If you think about it carefully, it may be possible. After all, the Southern and Northern Dynasties were too long behind the time of Qin Shihuang.

So there is only one explanation for the hanging soul ladder here.

But if that's the case, the tombkeeper's method is too weird!
Thinking of this, Zhang Defu and others felt their hearts pounding.

It seems that the inheritance of the tomb keeper is passed down from generation to generation, and it is more likely that it is even passed down from thousands of years ago to the present like the Feng family.

Since Xu Bowen was guarding the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, his lineage had probably been in control of all the institutions since the Qin Dynasty.

With thousands of years of historical accumulation, no one can make a conclusion on how many agencies and murderous tactics this tomb-guarding family has mastered!

Thinking of this, the three of them felt a little powerless. After all, how long had their methods been passed down?
Not to mention anything else, just talking about their background and accumulated means, they are no match for others.

"Don't think about this yet!"

At this time, it was Liu Fuxiang who suddenly said: "It doesn't matter whether the tombkeeper made this soul ladder. The most important thing now is to leave this institution as soon as possible."

"If you continue to stay here, you may not know what will happen. Feng Taichu, think about it. Is there any method for cracking the hanging soul ladder recorded in the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Map?"

After hearing this, Feng Taichu also fell into thinking.

Judging from the current situation, although they identified this as the Hanging Soul Ladder, they had no specific way to get out.

If you want to crack the Suspended Soul Staircase, the most brilliant way is to measure the specific error of each staircase.

Then, find the real exit.

However, with their current knowledge reserves, it is impossible to crack the gap between each step.

Even if you give them professional equipment, they won’t be able to use it!
To put it bluntly, even though they know what the Hanging Soul Ladder is, even if this mechanism is placed in front of them, they will not be able to crack it.

If they want to achieve this step, unless they can reach the same strength as Zu Chongzhi!

However, this is simply a fantasy!

Since there is no foolproof solution, we can only try based on the few words left in the Coffin Mountain Bone Stealing Picture.

Thinking of this, Feng Taichu sighed and said hesitantly: "Didn't I say before that there is no specific solution to the problem, I just left some fragments."

"But it might be useful, because that method was tried over and over again by our ancestors of the Feng family with their own lives!"

hiss!
Hearing this, Zhang Defu and both of them frowned.

What he meant was obvious, that unless Zu Chongzhi appeared, there would be no surefire way to crack the Hanging Soul Ladder.

The ancestors of the Feng family probably paid the price with their lives.

"Speak first!"

But thinking of this, Zhang Defu said seriously: "It's better to have a bad idea than not paying attention. You should speak up first and then we can decide!"

Hearing this, Feng Taichu nodded and said: "To crack the Hanging Soul Ladder, you don't have to calculate all the data deviations!"

"Because in addition to the precise gaps in the Soul Suspended Ladder, there are also a large number of hypnotic areas."

"Maybe it's the stairs, or some texture on the ground."

"These things combined will gradually deviate people's sense of direction, and eventually they will completely lose their ability to observe."

"Coupled with the fact that the gap between the steps is too small, you will end up with a situation like us, where you hit the wall!"

Speaking of this, Feng Taichu finally concluded: "So the method chosen by the ancestors of the Feng family to escape from the Hanging Soul Ladder was to have three people each light a candle and line up horizontally."

"Keep a certain visual distance in the middle, and then contact each other every time you take a step."

"Finally, after the gap between the three people reaches an equal distance, one of the three final positions will be the exit!"

That's right!

The Hanging Soul Ladder is this kind of specification. In addition to the precise step parameters, there are also various patterns that can confuse people's hearts.

So when it is impossible to accurately decipher the parameters of the 23 steps, the only way out is to try with your life!
Gollum!

After listening to Feng Taichu's words, Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu also swallowed.

Where the three of them were standing was one of the exits?Doesn't that mean that only one of their so-called three opportunities can succeed?
Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but look at their feet.

Only one side of the hanging soul ladder has a wall, while the other side is empty, with a dark abyss underneath.

No one knows where they will land after jumping from here.

The method passed down by the ancestors of the Feng family is to accurately locate the exits to three.

But in this case, doesn't it mean that two of them will definitely die?
"In the beginning!"

Thinking of this, Liu Fuxiang couldn't help but said: "You mean, we have to choose a position to jump from here?"

Hearing this, Feng Taichu nodded and said, "That's right! If we don't jump down, we can only wait here to die!"

"The ancestors of the Feng family also found this only way to crack the hanging soul ladder."

"The situation back then was the same as ours now, and we happened to be three of us. If there was one missing, we might not be able to crack the Soul Suspended Ladder this way."

Speaking of this, Feng Taichu couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

Why is fate so strange?
At the beginning, three of Feng's ancestors were trapped in the Hanging Soul Ladder at the same time, and they are also like this now.

This is also the reason why he has never mentioned this method before.

Because the ancestors of the Feng family used this method, and as a result, two people on the spot disappeared.

Jumping from an inexplicable position, one has no idea where it will lead.

"But, if this happens, two of us will die!" At this time, Liu Fuxiang still couldn't believe it. Is this the only way?
But at this time, Feng Taichu shook his head.

That's right!

Encountering the hanging soul ladder is so dangerous.

If you are lucky, you may be able to succeed in one attempt, otherwise only one of the three will get out alive.

"He made it clear that we should choose for ourselves, life or death!"

At this time, Zhang Defu murmured to himself, and then he sighed: "There is no way! That tombkeeper made the hanging soul ladder just to kill us!"

"It is no longer possible to find a foolproof method. The one who survives by chance among the three is already the one who escaped."

"I think we may just have to try this method."

Zhang Defu's tone was very calm, but it could be seen from his expression that he was definitely not that calm now.

After all, in this situation, everyone can only accept their fate.

Otherwise, they can only wait here to die, and they don't know what kind of terrifying tricks the grave guard has set up in the corridor.

For a moment, the three of them were silent.

If they had a choice, they would definitely not enter the Mausoleum of the First Emperor again.

Until now, three people are trapped and dead in the soul-hanging ladder, and only one of the three can survive!
"Actually, not all of them will die!"

At this time, Feng Taichu suddenly couldn't help but said: "First, we can tie ourselves with a rope, and then get down from here."

"If there is a mechanism below, it might be too late to pull the rope quickly!"

"And it's just one of three choices, our luck may not be that bad!"

no way.

The reason why he said this was actually to cheer them up.

After hearing his words, Zhang Defu and the others naturally understood the reason.

There is no other way now but to give it a try.

"let's start!"

After thinking this, Zhang Defu stood up first.

Fortunately, he is from the north and always takes candles with him when he goes to the grave.

So, he took out three sticks of white wax from his pocket, handed them to the two of them, and lit them all on fire.

The orange-red flames illuminated the faces of the three people, making them a little worried.

But they did not waste time, but carefully held the candles in their hands, and then walked back to the upper and lower floors one step at a time.

"In the beginning!"

"Can you still see me?"

At this time, the three of them were almost out of sight. After hearing Zhang Defu's words, Feng Taichu immediately said: "It's almost out of sight. Every time I count, let's take a step forward!"

"There is no difference between each other"

After hearing his words, the other two people also responded to each other.

So, every time Feng Taichu took a step forward, he shouted a number behind him, and the other two people immediately followed and took a step forward.

time passes by
At this moment, everyone in the exploration bureau held their breath unconsciously.

Zhang Defu and Zhang Defu walked about a dozen steps forward, and Feng Taichu immediately counted the number of steps in his mind.

After determining the distance, he immediately asked the two to stop.

For a moment, Feng Taichu looked towards the darkness under his feet and saw that it was extremely dark below the corridor. He didn't know where he would lead if he jumped from here.

So, he quickly used the dagger in his hand to draw a cross at the position under his feet.

After marking where he was standing, he hurried to the upper floor.

"Taichu!" Zhang Defu was obviously relieved when he saw Feng Taichu.

Then, without saying any more nonsense, the two men immediately tied Zhang Defu's waist with a rope, and let Feng Taichu hold the other end in his hands.

"call!"

Zhang Defu carefully grasped the rope and came to the edge of the stairs and said, "I'll go down from here later. If an accident happens, pull me up immediately!"

After hearing his words, Feng Taichu nodded heavily as if saying goodbye.

Next, Zhang Defu carefully went down the rope. For some reason, Feng Taichu felt that if he went down, it would be a farewell forever.

He had an ominous feeling.

Since Xu Bowen could create the Soul-Suspending Ladder, why didn't he leave other mechanisms around?
While he was confused, Zhang Defu had already climbed down the rope, and his figure was gradually swallowed by the darkness.

For a moment, Feng Taichu felt very uneasy.

"Pull me up!"

At this moment, Zhang Defu's shout suddenly came from below, and the voice seemed to be experiencing great fear.

wrong!

Upon noticing this situation, Feng Taichu immediately realized that something was wrong.

But he didn't understand what Zhang Defu went through down there. Logically speaking, if it wasn't an exit, it should be a special space.

But he didn't have time to think about it now, so he immediately pulled up desperately.

However, just after he pulled it up one meter, something suddenly happened that made his scalp numb.

Fuck!
I saw a tongue of flame suddenly burning along the rope, igniting the rope directly in an instant.

Feng Taichu's hands grasped the rope that was lit with flames, and his hands were burned by the flames, causing great pain.

But he still gritted his teeth and pulled up desperately.

Immediately afterwards, when Zhang Defu's figure was pulled up from the darkness below, everyone in the Exploration Bureau became numb after seeing his condition.

"Where did the fire come from?"

"Why is his whole body on fire?"

"What's going on down there?"

That's right!

Everyone in the expedition bureau clearly saw that not only did the rope spontaneously ignite without wind, but even Zhang Defu was covered in flames.

His body was burning with fire, and the extremely hot flames were quickly burning the clothes and hair on his body.

Immediately afterwards, even his skin and flesh began to bubble and cook at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In this case, Zhang Defu seemed to have crawled out of hell, and even so he did not let go.

Feng Taichu was shocked by this.

He couldn't figure out what was going on down here that could actually burn Zhang Defu like this?
