Chapter 340: The Ladder
However, the first task now is to decipher the fall of the stars, which is a mechanism recorded in classical history that is rumored to be able to attract meteors.
Although the rumor of Zhilu Dao is very unreliable, there are still some methods in the mechanism to simulate a similar scene, of course, it is impossible to destroy the world, and it is still possible to raze half of the mountain.
However, Bai Chen didn't have the idea of seeing it at all, and the black stone tablet in front of him was the key to cracking the fall of the stars.
It is better to think of Starfall as a trap than as a test, a test where you lose everything if you lose.
Of course, when people's lives are threatened, their thoughts will be confused, except for Bai Chen.
Bai Chen belongs to the kind of person who loses his mind when he is excited, but he will not lose his mind when he is in danger.
In addition to the lines on the black stele, there is also a wheel combination lock, and it is obvious that Bai Chen needs to turn the corresponding password to truly crack the fall of the stars.
When everyone saw this wheel, they were dizzy.
There are more than a dozen circle of cipher circles here, and the smallest inner circle has twelve characters, and the largest and outermost circle has more than fifty characters.
However, the special thing about the mechanism is that it is not like the kind on Earth, where you can set a password at will.
Even the person who arranges this trap must follow the principle of the trap array to set the password.
As long as you can grasp the law, then you can deduce the password, which is a password that cannot be modified, and from the moment the mechanism array falls, the password has been doomed.
"Bai Chen. Can you deduce the code for the fall of the stars?"
"Laps 1 to 3 are the easiest. It's three quarters past the afternoon. So the corresponding is the time of the hour, which cannot be modified, the fourth circle to the eighth circle is the direction, here is the land of Nanyin and Beimao, the ground is cold and dry, so it is not difficult to deduce the result, and the back is the number of chain mechanisms, and then the type of mechanism. Then there is the correspondingness of the stars, which corresponds to the hour of the first circle, and the corresponding stars of each hour will change, which is considered a difficult point......"
Bai Chen explained while turning the wheel on the stone tablet, at the beginning, everyone heard it clearly, thinking in their hearts, it turned out that the fall of the stars was so simple, even if it was them. It's the same that can be cracked.
But with Bai Chen's in-depth explanation, everyone listened to it and didn't understand it. Listening to Bai Chen's explanation in a daze.
The more you go to the back, the more complicated the aspects involved, sometimes you need to cooperate with astronomy and time, if you are suitable, you need to cooperate with yin and yang and geography, and then it is the deduction and calculation of the year, everyone listens to the big head, and they don't understand what Bai Chen is talking about at all.
Anyway, it's profound, very profound.
Bai Chen is simply talking about the Book of Heaven, and the people who can understand these things are definitely not ordinary people...... No, it should be said that it is definitely not human.
Tang Xuantian also had to sigh that the perversion of Bai Chen's deductive ability could not be measured by reason at all.
When Bai Chen turned the last wheel, everyone's hearts were pinched, holding their breath, waiting for the final judgment.
When the ground rumbled again, everyone almost thought that their end had come.
However, what awaited everyone was not a desperate mechanism, but a whirling staircase that appeared under the stone monument.
This spiral staircase goes deep into the earth, and it is impossible to see how deep the whirlwind staircase really is.
Bai Chen threw a stone down, but he didn't hear any echo, which showed how deep this underground staircase was.
But now this is their only way out, and there is no second way for them to choose.
"Don't we have to crack the trap array in the back anymore?" Tang Xuantian asked with some disappointment.
"Do you really want me to strip Tang Men of his clothes?"
"Xiaobai, can't you be tactful when you speak?" Xiao Ling said angrily.
"Snort...... It's not like ripping off your clothes......"
Everyone walked down the stairs in an orderly manner, and at this moment not everyone was afraid, but some people were eager to try.
Bai Chen and Tang Xuantian's previous conversation did not hide from everyone.
So everyone had already heard Bai Chen's words, and there was not just danger waiting for them below.
There are also unimaginable treasures, and they are also fantasizing that they will be the ones who get the treasures.
As it went deeper and deeper, everyone didn't know how long they had been walking, and they still hadn't seen the bottom.
The deep and dark staircase brings a sense of oppression to everyone.
"Do you know that as a mechanic, you must pay attention to every detail?" Bai Chen suddenly spoke.
Everyone felt very agreed, not with Bai Chen's words, but with him as a person, even if Bai Chen said that the fart was fragrant, they would agree.
"Then do you know how many floors you have walked down the stairs just now?"
"This ...... How can that be counted?"
"You know that there are some trap arrays in the Dao, which is related to the number of such ladders. ”
"Do you want to go up now and count again?" the crowd began to hesitate.
Tang Xin looked at Bai Chen: "Senior brother, have you counted?"
"I don't need to count, I use memorization, I remember how many stairs I walked. Bai Chen said as a matter of course.
Everyone was speechless for a while, and sure enough, people and people are incomparable.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you remember, we just follow anyway, and the mechanisms behind us don't expect us to crack it. ”
"Do you know the Dao, this kind of dungeon is easy for people to disperse, especially this is still a dungeon designed by a mechanic, if we are dispersed by then, are you sure you can deal with the organs behind?"
Tang Xuantian glanced at Bai Chen, and his mouth purred without making a sound.
How could he not see that Bai Chen was clearly teasing his disciple.
Seeing that these disciples of his own began to run up one by one, Tang Xuantian finally couldn't help but ask, "Bai Chen, is it interesting for you to toss them like this?"
"You'd blame me for that, if I hadn't been silent just now. I'm afraid I haven't made it to the bottom yet. There are people who can't stand this oppressive atmosphere. Jumping straight into the middle, the reason why this spiral staircase is designed like this is to create an oppressive atmosphere...... It is better for them to suffer than to be overwhelmed by the environment here and look for a short-sighted situation. ”
Only then did Tang Xuantian understand Bai Chen's good intentions, and his face was full of shame: "I'm sorry, it's your fault." ”
"By the way, it's actually quite fun to toss them like this. ”
"Ha Lu, Ha ......" Xiao Ling couldn't help laughing.
"Is Xiao Ling tired of walking?" Bai Chen suddenly asked.
"Not tired. It's all a ladder to the bottom, how can you be tired. ”
"If you are not tired, you should rest. ”
Tang Xuantian didn't dare to speak casually at this time, Bai Chen seemed to have a deep meaning in every move, and he would definitely not interject at will again until he was sure of Bai Chen's intentions.
It's okay to lose face in front of Bai Chen, but if he loses face in front of his own disciples, then he won't have the face to see people.
At this time, the first Tang Sect disciple who ran down from scratch had already run in front of Bai Chen, looking at his panting appearance, and did not forget to confirm to Bai Chen: "Two thousand one hundred and thirty-three steps. ”
"That's right. Bai Chen nodded. Said with satisfaction.
Then one after another Tang Sect disciples ran down, and the numbers reported were all about the same. Some have two more layers, while others have the same number.
Tang Xuantian glanced at everyone, these disciples were all learning tricks, although they didn't dare to compare with Bai Chen, but they wouldn't miscalculate the number of layers of the ladder, not to mention the number of layers in their early two thousands, even if it was doubled, it would be impossible to miscalculate.
And it's not one person who is wrong, basically the answer given by each disciple is different.
"You must have miscalculated, I really don't know how you learn the tricks in your daily life, how you deduce mental arithmetic, and you can't even count so simply. ”
"You're wrong, you're all wrong, I'm sure I'm wrong. ”
The crowd was already arguing, apparently believing that their own answer was correct and that the other's answer was wrong.
"As the head of the house, don't you persuade them?"
Tang Xuantian glared at Bai Chen, at this time, only Bai Chen's words were the most effective, he didn't persuade but let himself speak.
Unless you can judge which of them is right, you will only drag yourself into the water.
"Okay, don't argue, you're all right. Bai Chen saw that everyone was already noisy, and it seemed that he was about to start beating people.
Everyone upholds the attitude that they are the truth, and now only Bai Chen can administer justice.
Bai Chen's timely opening made everyone even more dissatisfied.
"How can they all be right with completely different answers?"
"Yes, Senior Brother is also breeding us. ”
"I said that you are all right, this is also a mechanism, in fact, this ladder is our new test, if you can't even think of this little cleverness, you don't have Baguio to fantasize about the treasure behind. ”
"This ladder is also a mechanism? How is it possible? Why don't we feel it at all?"
"yes, and nothing happened along the way, and if it were, we should have been attacked a long time ago. ”
Bai Chen's words made everyone hesitate, but they didn't dare to completely deny Bai Chen.
After all, the precedent is in the past, and what Bai Chen said has been fully fulfilled.
So everyone looks at me, I look at you, and they are all racking their brains to guess.
"You can think about why this entrance is designed to be in such a spiral shape. ”
"What does this have to do with the entrance?"
The realm of everyone was still a little lower, and they couldn't connect the clues provided by Bai Chen.
Tang Xuantian pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "To confuse us?"
"It is worthy of being the head of the house, and his thinking is clearer than this group of boys. ”
Bai Chen's praise, to Tang Xuantian's ears, was really awkward, Bai Chen didn't know how to praise others at all, or rather, he had praised others at all.
"Give you a quarter of an hour to think about it, and after a quarter of an hour, if you still can't think of an answer, I'll publish it. (To be continued......)
