Take the Fox Fairy To Catch the Ghost

Chapter 109 The Labyrinth

Sure enough, we were still too young and too little experience. If Fu Zhiwen had not insisted on it, how could we have imagined that the owner of the tomb had built the tomb on a mountain to avoid the eyes of others and prevent it from being stolen.

However, when we entered the cave along the way, at most, it only took more than ten minutes to walk, and a difficult choice was placed before our eyes. The road is divided into two, with completely different directions on the left and right.

"Should I go to the left or the right?"

"Go to the right."

"why?"

"It feels like going to the right may be straight to the tomb."

"Old Fu, what do you think?"

There are two roads in different directions. This choice made us a few of us unsure for a while. Fu Zhiwen hesitated and said: "In fact, which one goes first, and which one goes later, the result is the same. Obviously, even if the owner of the tomb uses ordinary people's thinking to build a tomb on the mountain, he is nothing but afraid of the ancient tomb being stolen. From the perspective of the owner of the tomb, if someone like us discovers the secret in it, then the ancient tomb is quite dangerous. Only one of the two can lead to the tomb. This is not to be criticized, and the other is the other one. It just played a deceptive effect, and it is very likely that it will be a dead end in the end. Since there is no good way to directly select the road leading to the tomb, one can only go to the end one by one."

We picked the one on the left. If you are unlucky the first time you choose a dead end, then the one on the right must go straight to the tomb. Time may be wasted, but it is really helpless to make such a choice in the face of such a situation.

The road is winding and winding, narrow and wide. After half an hour, we did not expect that the same problem would once again appear before our eyes. The one on the left is not a dead end, but it is suddenly divided into two by one road.

"It's the same choice again."

"Which one should I go now?"

"Or if we insist on choosing the left side until the left side is completely dead, then we can rule out more than half of the possibilities."

"Will the same situation happen again then?"

"You crow's mouth."

Jiang Yilong didn't say this deliberately, but speculated based on the situation along the way. The owner of the tomb was very worried that his tomb would be stolen, so he chose to build it on the mountain, and then use these vertical and horizontal roads to form a labyrinth. The game of maze, there are many in real life, unless you can take the lead in looking at the overall situation and find the most correct route to the destination in the game itself, otherwise, you will inevitably run into a wall everywhere until you finally return without success.

Fu Zhiwen said: "Xiao Jiang's worries are not unreasonable, but we ourselves were too simple at first. Let's say that we divide into two groups, one group go left and the other go right."

I said: "If, I just said if, then the situation is really consistent with what my senior brother said, what should we do?"

Fu Zhiwen was silent for a long time, and finally, he suddenly bent down, picked up a stone and drew on the ground. "We came in from the entrance of the cave, probably divided into two roads at this location. According to the estimation of the entire mountain, this location is at most the outermost part of the mountain. The tomb is most likely in the center of the mountain. We are. I chose the one on the left, and now there are two more on the left. There are three possibilities. Right now, one of the two on the left and right can lead directly to the tomb, and there is another possibility. Both of them may be dead ends when they go to the end. One possibility is that the owner of the tomb once again concealed his eyes and divided the roads. The ancient tomb is in the middle of the mountain. According to the current situation, we are completely certain of this. It just depends on whether we can find the right one. The road leading to the tomb."

Jiang Yilong said: "Then which one should we go first now?"

Fu Zhiwen said: "Which way to go down alone is actually not the best way. At the moment we have a total of six people, and a total of seven people, including Xiao Zhang, can be divided into two groups, one group and one group on the left. Go to the right, and if there is no way to go, then go back the same way at that time."

I said, "However, this still does not solve the fundamental problem. Take one of the possibilities you mentioned, if the roads are separated again at that time."

Fu Zhiwen said: "Then we will continue to separate. I believe there must be a dead end in the end. Of course, if the dead end is determined, we must mark it so that we can find the correct way to the tomb."

"Will this be a waste of time?"

"There is no better way at the moment, but this stupid way can only be carried to the end."

We discussed for a while, and finally the result was like this. I have to say that the maze formation of the tomb owner does give us headaches. However, when we think that as long as we find the right way to the tomb and take out the funerary items, we will get 10% of the self-interest. It's not worth mentioning.

Now we are grouping, Bai Ling and Roland are in a group, and the four of them are left in a group. We picked the right one, and they chose the left one. In order to be able to distinguish between the dead end and the correct path to the tomb as quickly as possible, we relatively speeded up the journey after we separated.

I kept begging in my heart to never reappear the previous situation, but for nearly forty minutes, there were two more ways before us. One left and one right, the direction is completely opposite. I feel a little irritable. If the coffin of the owner of the tomb is in front of me, I can't wait to take out his bones and whip the corpse to vent my anger.

Roland said: "This is really endless."

Bai Ling said: "This ancient tomb is indeed extraordinary. Although there is no big tomb, just digging the roads in the hillside will require a lot of manpower. However, Mr. Fu's previous sentence was right. Although there is more differentiation on this road, after all, only one correct road can lead to the tomb. In other words, most of these are dead ends."

I said: "Then you mean you can't hold the fluke mentality now, the best way is to pick out these dead ends and useless roads to mark them?"

Bai Ling nodded.

"Then let's go separately, this will speed up efficiency."

Roland's proposal is not all wrong, but I always have a bad feeling. "Building the tomb on the mountain and arranging the maze, I said that there may not be a method we have not discovered for the time being, so I have to guard against it. Therefore, I do not agree. It is better for everyone to stay together. Analyze."

"Then which one shall we go?"

"Whatever you want, just go to the left side first."

This time, it may be luck for us. Although this road is not the right way to the tomb, after we walked for more than ten minutes, there was no way to go. Immediately turned back on the original road, and then used a stone to draw a very obvious fork on the wall of the crossing to mark that the road was blocked.

Shuttle back and forth in the maze, our physical strength is a little bit exhausted. But in another direction, we can encounter such a situation, and Fu Zhiwen and the others will most likely also encounter it. In this way, they can immediately eliminate the two roads pretending to be lost. If you want to completely break the maze, it is nothing more than the need. A lot of time.

We did not leave immediately and stopped where we were. One was to take a short rest to regain our strength, and the other was to hope that Fu Zhiwen and the others would eliminate useless roads as soon as possible so that they could join us in time. However, we have been waiting for nearly half an hour, and we have not heard any movement, nor have we seen the four of them.

Bai Ling said: "No need to wait anymore, we have already marked this wrong path anyway. If Mr. Fu and the others are also unlucky, then they will naturally follow the path we have traveled."

I said, "But there is another possibility."

Roland said: "That's right. But now we are completely staggered with them, how can we contact each other to understand the situation?"

I quickly took out my mobile phone. When I was on the island, the mobile phone still had a weak signal of one or two bars, but now we are in the maze of the mountain belly. There is no cell phone signal, and there is no charging condition, the battery level of the phone. Only the last two frames are left.

"This is troublesome. I just separated and forgot to mention how we met when we met." I paused and said, "Forget it, since it's all like this, we can only continue this way. If we are lucky, it is The road leading to the tomb, then, sooner or later they will find us with the mark. If it is still a dead end, then we will go back the same way and look for them with the mark."

We set off now and continued to explore the way forward along the right side. However, when we went straight and walked for more than 20 minutes, the air filled with a smell similar to rotting animal carcasses. We walked all the way, and did not see a living thing in the lost path. This smell suddenly appeared in the air. It was most likely the result of being trapped in the lost path and having nowhere to go, and finally starving to death. So, it can be inferred that the end of this road is also very likely to be a dead end.

Of course, this is only a very probable guess. We can't immediately judge whether the fact is or not. What's more, we have all reached this point, and we can't fully confirm whether the road is clear and return on the same path. Obviously it is very unwise.

Suffocating the nauseating smell in the air, we continued to drop by. About a few minutes later, at the corner of the road junction, the smell of rotting corpses became stronger and stronger. Before I rushed forward, it was just before my flashlight. The moment it passed, I was immediately taken aback by the scene I saw.

The road is indeed a dead end, without any traces of secret doors, and this place at the corner is not an animal carcass, but a human. Roland recognized him at a glance. He was one of the five members of the student group. Due to the short time he died, a large number of corpses were rotted and maggots were born, and the most serious areas were already pierced through intestines. We have already thought about the possibility of accidents for the other four people except Feng Zigang, but when seeing the dead body, apart from the disgusting smell of the decayed body, the rest is panic.

At first glance, we can be sure of the cause of the death of the deceased. He did not starve to death because he was trapped and lacked food and water.

"This, how could this be!"
