We ran for a long time, our heads were spinning, but we couldn't see our destination. We were already muttering in our hearts. When Master Liang suddenly said this, Lao Chu stopped and asked him: "Master, what's wrong with you? How to say it?"

Master Liang rubbed his chest while pointing to the ground and said to us: "Two... boys, look at this coffin, does it look familiar?"

I heard the words and raised the torch, and sure enough I saw a coffin on the side with a hole in it, which seemed to be the one crushed by Lao Itch when he climbed down the cliff. I secretly felt something bad in my heart, so I turned around and looked at it. Sure enough, there is the cliff behind.

Lao Itch looked around and complained: "Old Wu, how did you lead the way? Isn't this where we came down just now?"

I said to him: "I don't know, this place looks the same everywhere. I kept walking without paying attention. I wonder if I entered a fork and went around."

Master Liang became angry and waved his hands to us: "No, you didn't pay attention. I wrote it down clearly. This path has always been straight, without any turns or forks. This is not an easy matter. I have to That’s right, we might have been fooled by something.”

I was quite concerned about what Master Liang said, so I asked him: "Is it possible that we have gone too far and walked all the way to the other end of the cave? You see there are quite a few coffins with holes here. Maybe it is a coincidence?"

Master Liang shook his head: "There is a north needle on my watch. I am used to calculating the Feng Shui direction every time I go to a place. I paid attention to it when I came down just now, and now we are indeed back to the starting point."

At this time, Lao Itch already knew something was wrong and said, "That's too bad. Could it be that something dirty happened and confused our eyes?"

I smiled bitterly in my heart, there were thousands of coffins around, thousands of corpses gathered together, no one would believe that there was no dirt, but Master Liang shook his head again: "I don't think so. In the Miao cave burial custom, coffins that can enter the cave They all died of natural causes, and those who died of illness, murder, and other unnatural deaths can only be buried outside. If there are ghosts here, there will definitely be no harm."

I knew that this man did have some knowledge, so I asked him: "Master Liang, you should have more knowledge in this area than us. What do you think is going on? Our torch won't last long, and the fire will be extinguished later." It really means that Tiantian should not be called and Earth and Earth are not working properly, so we need to find a way."

Master Liang said: "Look, the reason why we walked in a circle is that there is a problem with the arrangement of the coffins here. These thousands of coffins are criss-crossed, and some strange magic may have been used to make the entire cave become one." Maze, you know Zhuge Liang’s Eight Formation Diagram, which can trap hundreds of thousands of troops with just a few piles of stones. There are thousands of coffins here to trap the three of us, isn’t that a piece of cake?”

Zhuge Liang sent his troops to seize the rocks.

Lao Itch and I both know the story of how a stone formation was built on the Yufupu beach near the mountains and rivers to block Lu Xun. However, the description in the novel is an exaggeration after all. I simply don’t believe that a few piles of stones can have such a big effect. If it really happened So, why build so many tanks and cannons?

Lao Itch didn't believe it either, and said to him: "Master, don't come here to fool the Guangdong boss and fool us. You are trapped here and there. I heard that the Eight Formations Diagram was mentioned in the storytelling , it’s not what you said at all. Besides, we looked at it from the cliff. The arrangement of the coffins here is clear at a glance, and we didn’t find any special arrangements. Why can we be trapped in this place after we come down? Can the coffin escape on its own?"

Master Liang said: "This is different. What you see above is a rough idea. In such a short time, can you write down all the veins between the coffins? It will be dark when you come down. As long as each coffin is slightly offset , it may lead us to the pre-designed astray, and we will turn back unknowingly. The two young brothers are also experienced, and I will not explain the truth. We cannot underestimate the minds of the ancients."

I think what Mr. Liang said makes sense, but I can't believe it. Anyway, there must be something fishy here. It may not be easy to walk to that open space, so I asked them what they had in mind.

Master Liang sighed: "I'm not bragging, this is just a coffin formation. I can easily capture it if nothing happens. However, everything takes a certain amount of time. I'm afraid our torch won't last until that time. Besides, I think we still have important things to decide at this time."

I knew what he meant, and I suddenly felt a headache. The main problem now is not to break this formation, but how to face our situation. Not leaving is not an option, and leaving is not an option. I will be lucky enough to return to the original place this time. , it won’t be certain if we walk again. When the torches are extinguished, there will be no villages in front of us and no shops in back. It will be strange if we are not sleepy to death.

In fact, the easiest way to break the formation is to climb over the coffins on the side, but no one mentioned this suggestion, and everyone knows the reason.

After a stalemate for several minutes, the flames on the torch flickered a few times and gradually weakened. Lao Chi looked at the torch and suddenly shouted: "Damn it, I have an idea. How about we set fire to all the coffins here?" Burn it, give him a fire to burn it for eighteen miles, and it will be clean after it is burned out."

When I heard that this man was alternately stupid and clever, I could think of such an idea and cursed: "Aren't you the same as a bastard? Even if you don't burn him to death, you will die of smoke. Forget it, let me see it like this. I will walk forward first, and you will watch the direction of my torch. Once I move in a wrong direction, you will stop me, and we will know what the problem is?"

Lao Itch said: "No, if the torch goes out halfway and you are in a bad situation alone, who will save you then? We must not get separated at this time."

I was also anxious, and I immediately calmed down as soon as Lao Itch said it. It was a dark place, and the formation was so complicated. It would be really serious if we got separated. Besides, I was not the cause of this incident. Lao Itch had also done this before. I've walked through it once, and he should be the one to go to Lei Lei. I asked Lao Itch, "Lao Itch, didn't you fucking walk through it once before? How did you get out that time?"

Lao Itch scratched his head and said: "I don't know either. I was so lost when I came out. I covered my head and walked all the way. I didn't think about anything and got here. It was pretty smooth and I didn't encounter the coffin formation, so I think This is not what you said, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to come out last time, would I still be alive to come back?”

Master Liang said: "There is nothing unreasonable about this. The main purpose of this coffin array is to confuse our eyes and visually mislead our sense of direction. If we don't rely on our eyes and rely on our own sense of direction to touch it, we might be able to walk. In the past, the last time you lost your soul, it might be the key to your ability to come out smoothly."

Lao Itch laughed: "Pull it down, I can pull this out for you. According to what you said, if we encounter this kind of thing in the future, we only need to tie up a crazy person to lead the way, and then no matter what the formation is."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Master Liang couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, and sneered: "Don't say it, it's not impossible."

Lao Itch said: "Okay, I'll leave this arduous work to you. I'll knock you crazy with a brick later. Please work harder and bring us in. When you come out, I'll book you a suite in the mental hospital." , I promise I won’t treat you badly.”

When I heard what Lao Itch said was so wicked, I hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "When will you still have the heart to joke around? Let me think about how to go about registering. If you can't think of it, we have to crawl back as soon as possible." Go to the top of the cliff."

Master Liang thought for a while and asked Lao Chi, "How long did you leave that time?"

Lao Itch said: "Three years ago, I can't remember it. How can I still have half a cigarette?"

Master Liang thought for a moment and said to us: "Brothers, to put it this way, the open space is actually not far away from us in a straight line. This matter is not difficult to handle. I think my analysis is correct. Breaking this If you have the will, you can't get out, but the heart can get out. If you two can trust me, let's try it. Didn't Grandpa Deng say that practice is the only criterion for testing truth?"

I asked him: "How do you try this? Could it really drive people crazy as I said?"

Lao Itch said to Master Liang: "Think clearly, if I want to knock you, I'll knock you."

Master Liang said: "Of course not, where did you think of it? I mean, let's put out the torch, go all the way in the dark, count the time in our minds, and then light the torch when it's almost time. There is no visual sense. Interference, see if you can get there."

Lao Itch immediately objected: "No, no, it's a fool's errand. I won't do it. What if I get lost later?"

Master Liang said: "Then why don't we cover one person's eyes and follow him, that'll be fine."

I thought for a moment, and now it was not an option to stay here any longer. I took out the rags I had left when I made the torch and handed it to Lao Itch to cover it.

Boss Lao Itch doesn't want to, but he is the only one who has come out, so he has to lead the way.

At this time, the torch in his hand suddenly flashed twice, and finally couldn't hold on anymore and went out with a puff.
