1948 Positioning, everyone is separated
Before they found a way out, there was a loud bang. Before Feng Qingchen and his companions could look back, they saw the torches in their hands go out instantly. Even the lights went out, and the entire cemetery was in darkness.
"Come closer! Hold on to the people around you." As soon as the Ninth Prince opened his mouth, he found that his feet were empty. He felt like he was weightless and fell straight down. The moment he fell, the Ninth Prince only remembered to hold on to Feng Qingchen, holding on to Feng Qingchen tightly...
The others were not much better off. They screamed loudly and fell uncontrollably. However, their cries were drowned out by the snow wolf.
"Awoo, awoo..." The snow wolf howled the loudest. Feng Qingchen wanted to go find it, but she was in danger now. Her movements were completely out of control and she had no idea where she was.
As she descended, it was pitch black all around. Feng Qingchen didn't know where she had fallen. She only remembered that before she fainted, a golden light seemed to flash before her eyes, and then she knew nothing.
When Feng Qingchen woke up, he found himself in a golden room. The room was very bright, but he couldn't tell what was lighting it. Looking around, he saw golden light everywhere, and under his feet was a flowing sea of golden flowers.
The ground seemed to be covered with a layer of glass. When I looked down, I could see golden flowers blooming, shrinking, and blooming again under my feet...
Even though all you see is gold, it doesn’t seem monotonous at all, nor does it feel dazzling. Every corner of the room is gorgeous and beautiful to the point of taking your breath away.
However, Feng Qingchen was not good at appreciating this kind of beauty. She stood up and stretched her limbs, then looked around, ready to find a way out. But before she could act, she saw the wall behind her suddenly move, and then she saw the Ninth Prince come out.
"woke up."
Feng Qingchen blinked his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken, then he smiled: "I thought I was the only one here."
Feng Qingchen's tense body relaxed a little. She felt at ease knowing that the Ninth Prince was around.
"I found a road and went out to look around." The Ninth Prince explained the reason for his disappearance.
In fact, he accidentally touched the wall, then walked out, walked around outside, and came back.
"Did they find anything? Where are Shaoqi and the Eighteen Riders? And Xuelang and the others are not here?" Although she was bothered by the fact that the Ninth Prince had abandoned her unconscious, she could understand it on second thought.
Everyone has been separated, so it is understandable that the Ninth Prince is anxious. He wants to find a way out before she falls unconscious, so as to save time. After all, no one can be sure how long she will be unconscious.
"We didn't find it. There are rooms everywhere here. You can walk into a room by pushing open a door. It's extremely difficult to find someone." Most importantly, once they entered the room, they had no sense of direction and had no idea which was which.
"Have we fallen into a maze?" Feng Qingchen pulled the Ninth Prince to the wall and pushed it hard. Sure enough, it was pushed open. Then they saw a room full of jade shops. The flowers under their feet that opened and closed were also a warm jade color.
"The previous dynasty was so rich." Feng Qingchen couldn't help swallowing.
No wonder so many people want to steal the tombs of the previous dynasty. Even she is tempted.
"Why do you think the four countries are so poor?" The previous dynasty ruled the Kyushu continent for so many years. It can be said that the best things in the world are all in the previous dynasty's palace. The royal family of the previous dynasty was the richest family in the Kyushu continent. The Cui family, the Wang family, and the Xie family combined could not compare to them.
Before the fall of the previous dynasty, all the wealth was hidden away. The emperors of the four kingdoms gained the world but got nothing. Therefore, when they heard about the treasures of the previous dynasty, the emperors of the four kingdoms were so excited.
"These things cannot be eaten or drunk. Although the four countries did not obtain any treasures, they did obtain land. If they manage it well, they will naturally become rich and strong." Food is the primary need of the people. If the emperors of the four countries focus on how to increase grain production and ensure that the people have enough food and clothing, they will become strong sooner or later.
The Ninth Prince laughed sarcastically: "Do you think that the founding emperors of the four countries rebelled for the sake of the people? Under the rule of the previous dynasty, the people were richer than they are now, with enough food and warm clothes. Why would they rebel?"
The people live and work in peace and contentment. Who would risk losing their head by rebelling? The only people who would think of doing so are those who are already in power.
“The emperors of the four countries have seized the throne. Do you think they will let go of the treasures of the previous dynasty? In the eyes of the emperors of the four countries, the Kyushu continent is already theirs. Those things that once belonged to the Lan family are naturally theirs as well. The Lan family is a loser and is not qualified to enjoy these things.” When the Ninth Prince said these words, there was no personal color at all, because he and the emperors of the four countries were the same kind of people. They were all ambitious men who wanted this world.
"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant." Feng Qingchen nodded in understanding: "The most urgent thing is to find a way to find someone."
"Go down room by room? We have no idea where we are." The Ninth Prince rarely showed a bitter smile.
Standing in a place completely isolated from the outside world, he couldn't tell the directions at all. Even if he could tell them clearly at this moment, he wouldn't be able to tell them when he arrived in another room the next second.
Besides, even if they figured it out, they might not be able to find Xuan Shaoqi and the others. It is possible that both sides missed each other.
"I can determine the direction." Feng Qingchen took out a compass from the smart medical bag: "The direction the needle points to is north. Shaoqi and the others must have fallen into the house like us. We marked the east, south, west and north in every room we visited, and left a message for them to go all the way north."
Feng Qingchen took out another stack of papers and a marker: "Every time we go to a room, we will put a piece of paper. They will definitely look for us along the way, and we will always run into them then."
This method was stupid, but Feng Qingchen couldn't think of any other way. These rooms were like a beehive. There were rooms all around and one could walk in all directions. Maybe the two sides were only separated by one room, but because they were walking in different directions, they were getting farther and farther away.
"We write the numbers on paper so that they can know where they are according to the numbers. As long as they find a piece of paper, they can follow the direction and find us." This is not just a matter of luck. As long as they go to more houses, the probability of Xuan Shaoqi and the Eighteen Riders finding them will be very high.
"Yes." The Ninth Prince agreed, picked up the pen and pressed north at the top, south at the bottom, west on the left and east on the right, writing down four directions on the paper, and then added a sentence: all the way north.
Feng Qingchen was responsible for writing the number and then sticking double-sided tape on the paper.
The two of them lay on the ground and wrote a hundred sheets in a row before Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince announced that they had finished the work. Then the two of them just had to go to as many rooms as possible and then stick the papers on the north wall.
As long as the Eighteen Riders and Xuan Shaoqi find one, they can follow the trail and find Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Uncle.
