Obviously, this secret room was not and could not be prepared for him, he just appeared here unfortunately.
Soon, Su Anran found some clues under one of the murals.
Maybe it's not a clue.
It was a slightly sunken board surface - in this dim environment, if one didn't reach out and explore each area by himself, it was absolutely impossible to see the difference with the naked eye.
Su Anran tried a little bit, and then he discovered that this plate can be pushed.
Therefore, without hesitation, he immediately pushed down the plate with all his strength.
"Crack-"
The resounding sound of the machine is particularly loud in the quiet secret room.
However, there was only one sound, and there were no other obvious changes in the entire tomb.
However, this change still made Su Anran feel a little happy.
So, he quickly returned to work: continuing to grope for the bottom of these murals.
But before that, Su Anran looked up at the mural, it was a scene where the red bird seemed to be being fed something by a child with a strange smile on his face.
Immediately afterwards, Su Anran found such a mechanism that could also be pressed under the other three murals.
The three murals are "egg with red veins", "young man with red eyes and murderous intent", and "red bird fighting the last enemy in the sky".It's just that after Su Anran pressed the mechanism under the fourth mural, after a sound of mechanism activity, the mechanism that was pressed everywhere suddenly reset, and the scene of escape from the sky as Su Anran imagined did not appear. .
This change made Su Anran a little dazed.
But soon he realized that it should be because he didn't follow the order.
So, he followed the rules of "egg with red veins", "red bird fighting the last enemy in the sky", "red bird being fed by a child", "young man with red eyes and murderous intent" " in order to operate.
But in the end, it was still reset.
This time, Su Anran finally realized the problem: he didn't know the normal order of these eight murals!
According to the first reaction of normal people when they saw these murals, they would naturally think that the huge bird egg was the first pair, and that carrying the coffin into the tomb was the last pair.Of course, the most important thing is that if you watch them in this order, the contents of the other six murals are obviously able to connect the plot smoothly.
But now, with the mistake of the second mechanism, Su Anran realized that these murals are also very visually deceptive.
They are also in the wrong order!
He is not even sure now whether the egg with red veins is the first of the eight murals.
"I really need a historian!" Su Anran's mood at the moment was like beeping a dog.
Su Anran is very clear that the "core theme" of a secret room like a tomb has been determined from the moment the tomb was built.
It is not like the general room escape game, where all the clues are hidden in different places, and then players are allowed to discover and think by themselves.For a secret room like a tomb, the clues must involve information about history, biography, etc. For those who are familiar with history, this kind of secret room is generally not too difficult—maybe there is a certain degree of difficulty, but quietly If you put your mind to it and think about it, it is still possible to break through after all.
The premise is that you can survive when the trap is triggered.
But this world is not the world that Su Anran is familiar with, and it is even more impossible to know its historical stories.
A birdman's grave?
Who the hell knows what this birdman did before.
and……
Su Anran glanced at the surrounding situation.
He noticed that the flame in the bird's beak seemed to have weakened a little.
Although there have not been too obvious changes, but Su Anran is no longer relying on the naked eye to judge things. The power of the divine sense is not just becoming more concise and controlling more things.In many cases, Su Anran would not pay attention to the details before, but now she will subconsciously remember them.
So after making a comparison in his mind, Su Anran realized that if the mechanism is turned on incorrectly, there will be punishment.
And in a secret room, what kind of punishment is the most direct and terrifying?
That is undoubtedly to close all the ventilation holes and make the secret room a real secret room-here, the flame is both a clue and a noose.
"Four pictures, there are a total of 24 arrangements." Su Anran observed the brightness of the flames, "According to the current situation, about the sixth or seventh error, the ventilation hole will be completely closed... In the case of a room Judging from the size of the area and my moving speed, the flame will be completely extinguished around No. 18, and the place will be plunged into complete darkness..."
"No, the designer of the tomb must have left other traps." Su Anran frowned, "It is very likely that when something goes wrong, all the mechanisms in the secret room will be completely locked, even if my input is correct. , and absolutely cannot leave.”
Su Anran thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and slashed out with a sword.
Day and night have been in his hands for almost three months. During this time, he has been cultivating the sword according to the method taught by Huang Zi. An Ran wasn't ready enough for this, so it was better to say that he was honing his sword intent than raising his sword.
When this sword was drawn out, the sword energy condensed and did not dissipate, it was already using the sword technique of "turning the hand into a cloud".
Accompanied by a bang and explosion, stones splashed out.
Su Anran's sword cut the insignificant area next to the mural, and did not affect the content of the mural under the open fire.
Then he followed the traces of damage from the sword qi to check.
In the end, Su Anran came to a conclusion helplessly: the stone wall is quite thick and solid, it can almost be said to be in a certain underground rock formation.
He has roughly figured it out.
Without knowing the location of the exit, even if he exhausted himself to death, he might not be able to leave the tomb.
So after going around in a circle, he still had to find a way to decipher the order of the content on the mural.
Chapter 111 Escape
Su Anran sat on the ground helplessly playing with puzzles.
The material of the puzzle is nothing but the coffin lid that he shattered before.
The reason was that Su Anran accidentally kicked a fragment of the coffin lid and kicked it into the lighted area. After discovering that there was a pattern on it, he realized that there might be clues on the coffin lid?
So, he had no choice but to run back to the sarcophagus, fumbled to retrieve all the coffin lid fragments, and then played a jigsaw puzzle.
But no matter how he pieced it together, he found that the coffin lid seemed impossible to put together completely.
Su Anran guessed that it might be because she used too much force when she punched before, and some of the coffin lid fragments were smashed into atomic form?
There are indeed some clues drawn on the sarcophagus lid.
At the bottom of the coffin lid is a green stroke, and six leaves are distributed up and down.And in the middle of this stroke is a white egg with three red ripples, which obviously symbolizes the big white bird egg that looks like it can breathe and dance on the mural.
This made Su Anran convinced.
That is the mural painting of bird eggs, which should be the beginning of the theme of the eight murals in this tomb.
The part from the egg up is slightly incomplete, but you can still vaguely see that there is a flying bird with wings spread, but the color is not bright red, but a dark red, which looks a bit like dried and solidified. Same as blood.
These two patterns occupy a small half of the coffin lid.
Su Anran remembers that when he was on earth, the history of sarcophagus was quite long. It can even be traced back to more than 1 years ago, and ended in the Qin and Han Dynasties. After that, it began to use bronze coffins, which are more status symbols.However, whether it is a bronze coffin or a sarcophagus, there are very few paintings, especially the bronze coffins that only began to appear in the early Han Dynasty. It is even more difficult to draw patterns on them.
The sarcophagus can also be painted - although it is easy to peel off the paint, but the bronze coffin is really difficult.
But even though it's rare, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Su Anran remembered that there was once a bronze coffin with 53 patterns painted on it - of course, the patterns that the ancient people thought were different from the modern people, because they thought that drawing a spider on it , or a few strokes to draw a mountain, is a kind of pattern.
However, neither the bronze coffin nor the sarcophagus can be used by ordinary people-these two coffins have very high status symbols in ancient times.
Although in the world of Xianxia, this kind of common sense from the earth is not necessarily applicable, but at least it has considerable reference value.
The patterns drawn on the lid of this sarcophagus are obviously a kind of commendation and praise—in the final resting place, it describes the merits of the deceased during his lifetime.
Then Su Anran went crazy.
Because the coffin lid looks fragmented from the part where the bird spreads its wings, and that is the key content that was violently destroyed by Su Anran!
Even if it was barely pieced together, he still had to make guesses to barely see part of the content: it was probably in recognition of the birdman who had led the group to rise up and defeat some enemies that could destroy their group.However, there is no clear record on the coffin lid about how the birdman changed from a flying bird to a birdman.
However, Su Anran already knew that one of the eight murals must have this part of the key content.
Su Anran can already determine the order of the first and second among the four organ murals in this tomb.
So what remains is which of the last two murals is the third and which is the fourth.
Su Anran looked at the last two murals that he didn't know the results of.
After a while, his eyes fell back on the coffin lid again, and began to move back and forth between the two murals and the coffin lid.
Then soon, his eyes began to brighten: "I understand! So it is like this! Sure enough, we still have to follow the basic logic!...There is no love without reason, and there is no hate without reason."
……
Just when Su Anran cracked the mechanism of the tomb.
In a stone room with an empty area and a dark environment, gathered eleven monks of different ages and cultivation levels.
There are teenagers at the sixth level of the Qi Gathering Realm, middle-aged men at the fourth level of the Divine Sea Realm, and even young people with eyes as bright as torches.
These eleven people were separated from each other and did not gather together, and each of them looked at the others with vigilance and alertness.Especially those cultivators in the Qi Gathering Realm, not only were they the lowest in cultivation, but they were also the least numerous among the cultivators present - only three, so naturally they were the group with the least sense of security.
Among the eleven people present, the one with the largest base is the class of the Divine Sea Realm.
There are a total of six people.
And basically they are all at the third or fourth level of the Divine Sea Realm.
These six people sat in different positions. Although they still maintained a certain degree of vigilance, they didn't feel uneasy like the monks in the Qi Gathering Realm.Two of them even observed the surrounding environment with great interest, as if they were looking for something.
However, it was precisely because of the behavior of other people that the only other two people in the field stood out.
These two people, a young man with bright eyes like torches, even in this dim environment.
His eyes kept scanning over other people, but every person he saw would involuntarily feel as if he was the prey being targeted by a hunter, with an inexplicable sense of palpitation and panic.Among them, the most obvious ones are the three monks in the Qi Gathering Realm, they even have a great sense of fear that wants to scream.
The only exception is another woman who is about 30 years old and has a plump figure.
Although she doesn't have bright eyes like this young man's, the aura she exudes is not inferior to this young man's at all.Especially when young people looked at her, she would turn her head and look back at the young man, not only putting on a more enchanting and charming posture, but also revealing a quite seductive smile.
As for the young man, his eyes were aggressively invading the woman's body.
"Boom—"
There was a loud noise, and then a tightly closed stone door was opened.
A young woman stumbled out and ran out.
She seemed to be in a bit of a panic, obviously something bad happened before entering here, so that her clothes showed a lot of signs of damage.
Everyone glanced at the young woman, and then ignored it.
After all, the cultivation base of the first level of the Divine Sea Realm belongs to the level of whether it is high or low - there are only two monks present at the ninth floor of the Qi Gathering Realm, and they don't care much about these monks , because the two sides have not reached any obvious gap; and the monks of the third and fourth heavens of the Divine Sea Realm will not care about the monks of this realm. There is no difference.
But as soon as the young woman ran out from the stone gate, she was too frightened to move.
Her intuition told her that she seemed to be being targeted by some ferocious beast, and a huge unreasonable psychological pressure directly shrouded her body, frightening her so much that cold sweats began to break out continuously, as if as long as she dared to go again If you take a step forward, you will fall into the abyss of eternal doom.
"Is it interesting to bully children?" The plump woman, about 30 years old, said with a chuckle, "Our confrontation has not yet been decided. If you change your target like this, can I understand it as a little girl? Brother, have you admitted defeat?"
"Humph." The young man who really achieved "eyes like torches" snorted coldly, then turned his eyes back to the mature woman again.
This move caused the mature woman to let out a series of coquettish laughter.
This kind of laughter seems to have a certain strong allure.
Among the seven male monks present, at least five felt a burst of hotness, and the true qi in their bodies even faintly showed signs of disorder.
The only two people who did not have this obvious change were the young man with bright eyes and a monk.
The monk was tapping the wooden fish with his eyes closed, and he didn't know what Buddhist scriptures he was chanting.
However, with the sound of his chanting scriptures and the "do-do-do" sound of beating the wooden fish, the other monks around who suddenly felt hot and blood surged quickly calmed down.It's just that their faces are still flushed, which shows that their mood has not completely returned to normal at the moment.
No matter how slow the monks around are, they are now able to react.
The young man with bright eyes and the mature woman are the two most powerful among them.
A person can bring great coercion to people just by looking at them.
Although the other said that she had to speak out to have a certain influence on other people, her approach was undoubtedly more terrifying than that young man.
After all, mental coercion, as long as the mental power is strong enough and the spiritual sense is strong enough, can largely offset the deterrence of the opponent, and even if you can persist in this environment for a long time, you can also get a certain degree of benefits .
And the woman's threat is much more terrifying.
Just now, it was just a soft, charming laugh that almost drove the others into a trance.
The great monk's knocking on the scriptures and chanting the Buddha's name saved everyone and eliminated an invisible struggle.
"Boom—"
There was another roar of the stone door opening.
