Chapter 374: Encountering a Ghost Wall

Su Nuan wiped her hands and said, "Let's go down and take a look."

Ling Cang had already made several torches and tied them together to carry.

Su Nuan lit two torches and jumped down first, feeling a chill all over her body.

"It's strange. I didn't feel any cold up there, but I feel very cold when I come down."

She took a few steps back, and Ling Cang and Ling Yun also jumped down.

The tomb passage was indeed only three feet wide, and it was a bit crowded for the two brothers to stand side by side.

Ling Yun took a big step forward and walked ahead.

Su Nuan checked the interior of the tomb passage. It was surrounded by stone bricks, which looked very much like a chimney.

It was the kind of heat dissipation flue in the greenhouse. She reached out and touched the wall tiles, but there was no soot as she had imagined.

Ling Cang happened to turn around and saw Su Nuan touching the stone bricks, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Nuan shook her head. "It's okay. I just thought it looked like the chimney in a greenhouse. I was overthinking it. There's no ash on it."

Ling Cang paused, thought for a moment and said, "This reminds me of something."

Su Nuan pricked up her ears instantly, listening to some gossip.

Ling Cang coughed dryly and continued, "It's rumored that there's a place in the north that's hot year-round and can grow all kinds of crops."

Su Nuan waited for a long time but received no response. She asked anxiously, "And then?"

This seems to be talking about the Flaming Mountain, maybe someone has been there before.

Ling Cang laughed: "There's nothing more to it. This area used to be mostly hilly, but now there's such a large area of ​​flat land. It might have been leveled during the Yuanbao Kingdom period."

Su Nuan nodded, "It seems that it's not that we are lucky, but that our predecessors have been working hard."

Ling Cang sighed, "It's a pity that this Yuanbao Kingdom appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly. Only a few unofficial historical records have recorded it."

"No one can guess how the people here disappeared. These rumors are not credible."

Su Nuan touched his nose and said, "Um... I don't think I mentioned that there are tens of thousands of bones at Broken Dragon Stone. Maybe an entire country died here."

Ling Yun and Ling Cang both stopped and looked at each other.

There wouldn't be only tens of thousands of people in a country. Maybe they were just some who were buried alive with the dead.

Thinking of this, the two brothers didn't take the matter of the bones to heart.

There happened to be a fork in the road ahead, and Ling Yun asked, "Which way should we go?"

Su Nuan turned out a piece of limestone and drew a long horizontal line on the wall.

"This side is marked, go to the right."

The three of them walked along the passage on the right. Every inch of the passage was almost identical. Sometimes, if they turned around inadvertently, they would not be able to tell which way was the way they came.

Su Nuan would draw a line with a stone from time to time so that she wouldn't get dizzy.

But as they walked, Su Nuan realized something was wrong and asked, "Did we turn around?"

Ling Yun said: "No, we are moving forward. If we turn around, you should be in front."

Su Nuan also thought so. Maybe she remembered it wrongly and this line might have just been drawn by herself.

However, there was another fork in the road ahead, exactly the same as the previous one.

Ling Yun asked: "Continue to the right?"

Su Nuan squeezed over and looked around, then said in surprise, "Look here."

Ling Cang looked at the left wall that Su Nuan was pointing at. There was a white line there, which should not have been drawn by Su Nuan. The line drawn by Su Nuan was very long and extended to the passage opposite.

But this one is very short, only half the length of the one Su Nuan drew.

Su Nuan added, "You are looking at the left wall of the right passage."

There is a white line on the left wall of the right passage, which looks weird.

After all, this was the second fork in the road they encountered, so this line was definitely not drawn by Su Nuan.

Ling Yun said, "Maybe someone came here before and drew it."

Su Nuan shook her head. "No, this is the line I drew. I just shifted the channel's position, causing the originally flat channel to move to the right."

"The passage on the left is a new one. We have come to a fork in the road where we can change paths at will."

Ling Cang understood Su Nuan's meaning and said, "That means we haven't walked through the passage on the left or the passage on the right, and the passage we have walked through has already disappeared into the wall."

Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, that's it."

Ling Yun scratched his head and asked in confusion: "But what's the point of doing this?"

"There are only three roads. If we walk a few more times, we will definitely find the right one."

Su Nuan smiled and said, "It's enough to confuse people and make them feel like they've come a long way."

"If you get stuck in a loop, you might even think you're stuck in a maze."

Ling Yun's eyes lit up, "I understand, this can be applied to the formation."

Su Nuan didn't understand the battle formation, so she shut up in disappointment.

Ling Cang realized that his younger brother had once again killed the conversation, and said helplessly, "Which way are we going this time?"

Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Go to the right. There are signs here. If you go the wrong way, you can always come back here."

"If you follow the normal thinking and go right ahead, you will go left when you encounter a fork in the road."

Ling Yun said, "I will always go to the right."

Su Nuan was speechless. He was really a person who would stick to one path until the end.

Ling Cang had already walked to the right following Su Nuan's instructions.

This time they did not return to the fork in the road but entered a spacious circular area, but this circle had six identical entrances.

This time, Su Nuan used limestone to mark the door, and after coming out, she drew a circle at the door.

The space spirit suddenly said: "I remember, this is the Wanxiang Palace."

Su Nuan asked in confusion: "What is Wanxiang Palace?"

The space spirit replied, "This is the center point. It's a circle, and there are several more circles outside. Each circle has several passages. Once you enter, the circle keeps rotating, so when you reach the next circle, you won't know which passage you've entered."

Su Nuan didn't care about this at all. She asked expectantly, "Will there be many secret rooms in the outermost circle? Will there be many good things in the secret rooms?"

Space Spirit, "..." Her mind was a little confused.

Su Nuan didn't get an answer, so she asked again.

The space spirit came back to his senses and said, "It may not be a good thing. There are also traps."

Su Nuan was not surprised. There must be a trap, otherwise why would people go to so much trouble to build the Wanxiang Palace.

Seeing that they were silent, Ling Cang said, "This seems to be the legendary maze. It is said that there are many treasures from outer space in the maze."

Ling Yun nodded, "I've heard about that too, but there are many traps in the maze, and it's very dangerous."

Su Nuan is very interested in extraterrestrial objects, but there is nothing she can do now. There is a saying that is very appropriate: you are in a game but don't know the situation. If you have the clairvoyant eyes of a god, it would be easy. You can even dig up good things by digging vertically.

Ling Cang asked: "Do you want to keep going?"

Su Nuan shook her head. "No, instead of taking risks underground, it's better to look for it above."

Ling Yun asked in confusion: "How do we find it up there?"

He felt that at least there was a way to go underground, but he couldn't find anything on the ground.
