Chapter 513
Along the wall, Zuo Yang carefully groped for the stairs leading to the third floor, but did not notice anything unusual.

And so on until the middle.

"Crack la la la..."

A very strange voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Zuo Yang hurriedly stopped and looked around, but after looking around, he didn't find anything wrong among the animal wood carvings in the room.

"Could it be that I'm hallucinating?"

Zuo Yang shook his head immediately, denying his own idea. Although his ears were not as sharp as his penetrating eyes, he never had any problems.

It's just that he can't judge the specific source from the not-so-loud sound just now, nor can he tell what the sound is from, so the only thing he can do is to be more careful, so as not to overturn the boat in the gutter .

It stood there quietly for a while, but the voice never sounded again.

Zuo Yang knew that it was impossible for him to stand here and wait for the voice to appear again, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and move on while observing the animal wood carvings around him.

It turned out that he had just taken two steps.

"Crack la la la..."

That weird voice sounded again.

"!?"

This time Zuo Yang made some preparations and finally found the source of the sound.

It was a three-meter-long wood carving of a boa constrictor. When it moved left and right, it would not move at all, but when it moved left and right, it would immediately raise its neck, wriggling its thick body and wriggling forward. During the process, the body will make that weird sound of "clack la la la", which is a bit like a rattlesnake wagging its tail.

Just like now, after discovering it, Zuo Yang immediately stopped in his tracks, so the python wood carving also stopped immediately, and it looked no different from ordinary animal wood carvings on the surface.

"This……"

Because he didn't know anything about this kind of mechanical beast, Zuo Yang didn't dare to act rashly, and stood there staring at it for a while, wanting to see if it was the same as the "mechanical bird" and "scientific bird" that he had encountered before. "Weird" will take the initiative to attack him, so that he can make the most appropriate response.

But the woodcarved boa constrictor had clearly made up his mind to play a game called "One Two Three Wooden Figures" with him, and after a while he remained indifferent.

"..."

This is a bit embarrassing, Zuo Yang is obviously not an opponent for this kind of thing in the competition of patience.

After such a stalemate for a while, Zuo Yang had no choice but to try to lift one foot and take a step forward, in order to observe the reaction of the wooden boa constrictor.

"Crack la la la..."

The boa constrictor wood carving's perception ability is quite sensitive, Zuo Yang took a small step, and it immediately twisted its body and crawled for a distance of about half a meter, and then stopped still.

However, through this movement, Zuo Yang immediately discovered another situation that he hadn't noticed before: the target of the python wood carving was not him at all, but was heading towards the one leading to the third floor just like him. March on the stairs! ?
Zuo Yang immediately measured the distance between himself and the stairs leading to the third floor, and at the same time measured the distance between the wooden python sculpture and the stairs. It seems that the wooden python sculpture is much closer to him... If they go to that staircase together according to the current method of action, there is no doubt that the python wood carving will be the first to arrive.

And what happens when it reaches the stairs first?

Probably will entrenched there, completely sealed off that staircase, attacking anyone who gets close, so that he can no longer climb to the third floor, right?

This is very likely to be the test of this layer!

Zuo Yang knew in his heart that all the things in the "Forbidden Land of the Mohists" should have only one common task, which is to protect [Fei Gong], so he'd better not have any luck, if he can get it If it is destroyed, then it will be destroyed decisively. Even if it cannot be destroyed, it must not be taken lightly, otherwise it will be easy to lose the wife and lose the army.

But now, what should I do?

"This thing seems to respond accordingly by capturing my movements... So if I back up, how will it react, will it back up like me?"

Zuo Yang pondered for a moment, then made such a hypothesis in his mind, and at the same time tried to lift his foot and took a step backward.

result.

"Crack la la la..."

The boa constrictor woodcarving immediately twisted its body and crawled about half a meter in the direction of the stairs.

Facts have proved that Zuo Yang thought too much, this thing doesn't care whether he walks forward or backward at all, as long as he dares to move, it will keep approaching the stairs.

"Your sister..."

Zuo Yang instantly felt that his attempt this time directly caused him to fall behind the boa constrictor wood carving by 1 meter inside and out, and he felt very depressed.

The most important thing is that until now, Zuo Yang still can't think of any perfect way to deal with it.

"Is this asking me to use lightness kung fu?"

Zuo Yang knew that as long as he used his lightness kung fu, it would definitely not be a problem to jump a distance of one foot, and it would only be a matter of an instant. If the woodcarved boa constrictor could only move half a meter each time, he would He must still be able to reach the stairs before the python woodcarving.

But at the same time, he suspected that the matter would not be so simple, otherwise this level would not be too difficult for the players... After all, in such a martial arts game, which player would not have such a simple trick or two... Therefore, Zuo Yang felt that before he had a thorough understanding of the situation, he had to be more cautious, and it was better not to be self-defeating.

"Hiss... But what else can I do without Qinggong?"

Zuo Yang scratched the back of his head frantically, and unconsciously glanced at the animal wood carvings around him.

It doesn't matter at this glance, Zuo Yang actually found a very strange setting on a wood carving of an animal not far away: it was a wood carving of a fine horse, except that the belly of this horse was a bit bigger than normal horses. It is almost lifelike, but if you look more closely, you will be surprised to find that its four hooves do not touch the ground directly, because there are four small metal rollers under the four hooves. , If you don't look carefully, it's really not easy to find.

"What do these wheels mean?"

Zuo Yang hurriedly looked for the same thing on other animal statues, but after seeing many wood carvings, he only saw the same thing at the foot of the yellow ox wood carving that was facing him when he first climbed up to the second floor.

"That's strange, only cows and horses have such wheels... What's the point of this?"

Zuo Yang frowned and began to talk to himself, but suddenly a very familiar word with both cattle and horses crossed his head inadvertently-"wooden cow and horse"!
The term "Wooden Niu Liuma" is recorded in "Three Kingdoms", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Song History". It was invented by Zhuge Liang, a military strategist of the Shu Kingdom, and his wife. It is a very magical means of transportation. A "Wooden Niu Liuma" can carry about four More than a hundred catties of grain, and only one person can control it for dozens of miles a day, it was definitely a great weapon of war for the army at that time.

What is even more vivid is that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" also recorded the detailed instructions of the "Wooden Niu Liuma", and even the size of the parts... "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a novel after all, and the records may not be realistic, but "Wooden Niu Liuma" There is also such a record in "Three Kingdoms": "In the spring and February of the ninth year of Jianxing, Liang returned to the army to encircle Qishan Mountain, as if transported with wooden oxen." This shows that "wooden oxen and horses" are real.

It's a pity that, even with various records, the craftsmanship of "Wooden Niu Liuma" was eventually lost.

Various regions or academic institutions tried their best to restore the "Wooden Niu and Liuma" based on historical records, but they still couldn't just use the materials that existed in the Three Kingdoms period to present the real "Wooden Niu and Liuma" to people. Impressions become more mysterious.

"Are these the legendary 'wooden cows and horses'?"

Zuo Yang couldn't help thinking this way, because according to those historical records, it can be seen that "Wooden Niu Liuma" is obviously a product of a lost mechanism technique.

This thing cannot be restored in reality, but it is much easier to restore it in the game, because the "wooden cow and horse" in the game only needs to have an appearance, and no real technology is needed at all. After the corresponding program is compiled , The game producer can let it move, it can move as long as the game producer makes it move, and it can move as long as the game producer makes it move.

Perhaps the designer of this game also got some inspiration from the historical records of "Wooden Niu Liuma", so he designed the Mohist forbidden area in the Spring and Autumn Period earlier than the Three Kingdoms, and placed "Wooden Niu Liuma" in it.

But, is there any inevitable connection between this thing and passing through this level?
Zuo Yang thinks there may be, because when anyone designs a level, he has a conflicting heart that makes it difficult for the level breaker but at the same time hopes that the level breaker will find his own exquisite design, and thus regard it as a smooth pass. It is a very thoughtful design like "wooden cow and flowing horse". The designer must hope to leave a deep impression on the passers-by.

Therefore, it is likely to be the key to passing this level.

But now, Zuo Yang felt that the first thing he had to do was to make the "flowing horse" next to him move, so as to verify his speculation.

As for how to make it move...

Zuo Yang looked directly at the mouth of "Liu Ma" at first glance.

Because as far as Zuo Yang knows, there was such an interesting record about "Wooden Niu Liuma": Sima Yi, the military adviser of the Wei State at that time, learned about the "Wooden Niu Liuma" and sent someone to snatch it back from the Shu army. , and then painted ladles according to gourds, but many imitations were made, which were exactly the same as those made by Zhuge Liang. Later, Sima Yi began to use these imitated "Wooden Cows and Horses" to carry grain and grass. ...It turns out that this "wooden ox and horse" has a mechanism, and the tongue is the switch for the wooden ox and horse to walk. Sima Yi didn't know this, so naturally he couldn't use it.

If the designer of this game really knows all the information about "Wooden Cow and Flowing Horse", he should also know this interesting thing and use it in his own design.

really!

"Have a tongue!"

Zuo Yang soon saw the tongue in the mouth of "Liu Ma", and with this discovery, he gained more confidence in his previous guess.

No matter what, since I have made this discovery, I always have to try it. It is more reassuring than taking risks with lightness kung fu.

So, Zuo Yang made a sudden move, moved a step sideways, and came to the side of "Liu Ma".

"Crack la la la..."

The boa constrictor wood carving moved half a meter further towards the stairs.

However, this was still within Zuo Yang's acceptable range. He collected himself, and finally stretched out his hand to hold the tongue in the mouth of "Liu Ma", and then gently snapped it off.

"Squeaky——!"

Although it is impossible to tell what the power principle is, the four small wheels under the horse's shoe of the "Liu Ma" actually turned, pushing the "Liu Ma" to move forward unhurriedly.

"Ha, it really is!"

Zuo Yang was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to let go of "Liu Ma"'s tongue immediately.

He still has to observe the movement of the wooden python sculpture first. If the wooden python sculpture moves with the "Liu Ma", it means that his previous guess about "Wooden Cow and Liuma" is correct, but this is not the way to pass the level. He had to stop the "Liu Ma" quickly.

Then, a scene that surprised him even more appeared!

As the "Liu Ma" moved slowly, the wooden python did not respond at all, as if it could only perceive Zuo Yang's movements, but turned a blind eye to the same kind as "Liu Ma", although... Zuo Yang was even more I can't understand what the principle is, but it's just a game, so what's the point of being serious?
"I'm so witty, can I pass the level like this?"

Zuo Yang was overjoyed, and quickly jumped onto the back of the "Liu Ma".

"Crack la la la..."

Sensing Zuo Yang's movement, the wooden boa constrictor moved forward another half meter, but when Zuo Yang sat firmly on the back of the "Liu Ma", it stopped in place again.

After that, even though "Liu Ma" carried Zuo Yang on his back and walked unhurriedly towards the stairs leading to the third floor, it didn't move at all.

"That's it, you can't see me, my little boy."

At the same time that Zuo Yang was in a good mood, he couldn't help teasing the wood carving of the boa constrictor, but now it looked cute in Zuo Yang's eyes.

that's it.

"Squeak——squeak—"

Riding on the "Liu Ma" slowly and steadily to the stairs, Zuo Yang moved, jumped off the horse's back, and ran up the stairs along the stairs.

The woodcarved boa constrictor wanted to catch up, but it was obviously too late. In fact, when Zuo Yang made some movements, although it also chased forward a few meters, but seeing that Zuo Yang had already gone upstairs, it turned around. Go away, and return to the southwest corner where it was originally.
