"Old Lin! Can you hear me?"
"Brother Achang, where are you?"
Wang Qiang and Tie Hammer climbed up from the slide and screamed twice first.
The sound echoed in the long and empty passage.
There was no feedback except their voices.
"What's going on? You came in front and back, but then disappeared in the blink of an eye?"
Iron Hammer looked around blankly.
The passage ahead is winding and winding with many forks, like a maze.
Next to it is a towering wall. Various allusions related to Buddhism are carved on the wall. The top of the head is painted with various mineral pigments to depict various life scenes such as people chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha.
It's a pity that these exquisite works of art, under the flashlight light, are inexplicably scary.
Tie Zhui still wanted to rush in, but Wang Qiang stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Wait, what's this?"
The two of them held their breaths and heard a violent shaking of chains in their ears. Three figures stumbled and appeared behind them.
"who?"
When I turned on the flashlight, I saw that it was Qian Sheng, Bai Lu and Min Tun.
"Why did you follow me?"
"Aren't we afraid that there is something going on here that we won't be able to handle?"
Qian Sheng stood up holding Wang Qiang's arm and patted the dust on his body.
“Where is that warlord’s bastard?”
Wang Qiang stretched his head and looked back.
"Didn't you follow?"
Bai Lu looked back a few times, but found no sign of them.
"No, they came in right behind us. When we entered the passage, I heard someone screaming behind me. Why did they disappear after landing?"
"This place is really fucking evil, just wait for me."
After saying that, Wang Qiang sat cross-legged on the ground, stretched out his hand and began to calculate.
When Mintun and Tiechui saw this scene, they were both shocked and almost blurted out:
"Brother Qiang, can you still do this?"
"Keep your voice down, you really underestimate your brother Qiang. This is called 'Xiao Liuren'. It is a type of Chinese divination. It is also called 'Zhuge Ma Qian Ke'. It is most effective in identifying good and bad luck and finding lost objects. I have said the rest. You don’t understand either, just watch.”
Since Wang Qiang succeeded in "opening the Sky Eye" last time, he has developed a strong interest in divination and Yishu. He always thinks about the secrets here by himself when he has nothing to do.
As Old Man Luo said, a talented person like him can "wake up" in just a moment's notice.
This "Xiao Liuren" is considered a basic skill for him.
The principle is to randomly select numbers and count the six gods: Da'an, Liulian, Suxi, Chikou, Xiaoji, and Kongpeng.
That is to say, count the positions of the upper and lower pads of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger.
Generally used for simple fortune telling and finding lost items.
It is the simplest and easiest method to learn among all divination techniques, but due to the insufficient amount of information obtained, it tests the user's experience and skill in inferring specific information.
Wang Qiang could only make a rough calculation.
"Old Lin and the others should be in the northeast. Let's go to this location to meet them."
"Brother Qiang, you can do it! Isn't it much easier to handle now?"
Bai Lu took out the compass and looked at it, and was stunned.
The compass needle rotated like a propeller, making it impossible to determine the direction.
"There should be a strong magnetic field interfering here. All pointing devices have failed and there is no way to determine the direction."
Qian Sheng took out his walkie-talkie and fiddled with it a few times. Except for the babbling sounds, he couldn't contact anyone at all.
Wang Qiang stood up and looked around.
"This place is so fucking evil! Lao Lin and Achang are very capable. They should be fine. It's not an option for us to wait here. Let's go in. We might run into them wherever we go. Please be careful!"
"Did I hear you correctly, Brother Qiang? Did these words come from your mouth?"
Bai Lu teased with a smile.
"People always have to grow up. If Lao Lin is not here, I am the oldest here. I can't let you take care of me in turn, right?"
"Tsk tsk! Brother Qiang really opened his eyes, and his whole temperament immediately changed!"
"Third brother, will I die if you don't bury me? Fortunately, we are all together. I guess that warlord's bastard will make life difficult for them."
"That's not necessarily true. Just after you walked across the suspension bridge, Lao Shen and the Liu brothers appeared again, mixing with that guy Danwei."
"Pfft! Deserters, do you still have the nerve to come back? These bastards are definitely not holding their shit together. Tiezi, take a look at your companions. What kind of humanity do you have?"
Iron Hammer also sighed helplessly.
"Brother Achang and I have only been together for less than two years and less than three years. When we came in, we were ostracized everywhere. That is to say, Brother Achang is able to sit in his current position because of his ability.
The old men in the regiment were all dissatisfied with him. "
"I've seen it a long time ago. Why bring him out if he doesn't accept it? To force him to add drama to himself?
Okay, no more talking, let's go, I'll explore the path, Lulu will be in the middle, and the third child will take the back. "
Wang Qiang is indeed acting like a leader now, holding a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other, leading the way.
Lin Yi and Achang were also looking for a way out of this maze at this moment, but they still found nothing.
"Boss Lin, why do I feel that we have been stuck in this maze?"
Lin Yi did not answer, but stood there, looking for something on the wall with a flashlight.
It turned out that after he entered this passage, he had realized that it might be a maze, so he made a mark on the wall.
It feels like I have come back to the same place in a big circle. All the scenes around me are exactly the same, but the marks on the wall have disappeared.
"The situation here is far more complicated than I thought before, and I don't know what happened to the others."
Lin Yi took out his walkie-talkie and tried to contact other people, but received no response.
"It would be great if Lao San or Min Tun were here. They know more about this kind of Buddhism-related content."
"I don't know what Boss Lin wants to ask about. Maybe I can help to clear up any doubts."
"you?"
Lin Yi looked A Chang up and down.
"I still don't even know your last name or what your name is, and you are always like a 'riddler', half-talking or hiding it, because I'm afraid you will point it to me in the ditch. "
"Boss Lin, where do you start talking about this? There are some things that I can't say. Of course it's my own reasons, but we are in the same boat now, and I also want to get out of here."
What he said was correct.
Moreover, the "Tufuzi" behavior is "barbaric". When encountering such a maze that requires a test of brain power, they will not choose any other method except breaking through the wall and digging holes.
It's a pity that the people who are best at this job are not around.
"Okay, I will trust you again. Let's talk about this pagoda first."
Achang sat down cross-legged, dipped his hand in the tea in the thermos, drew a rough diagram of a pagoda on the ground, and gradually began to analyze it.
