“Is this porous stone?”

Xu Feng recognized this stone instantly.

This is a kind of stone specially used to absorb sound. Because it is very expensive, it was only used in royal ancestral temples for worshiping heaven in ancient times.

"Isn't this Sun En too extravagant? He actually used this kind of stone as the wall for this staircase that is several hundred meters long?"

CoCo's smile disappeared at this time: "What should I do now?"

Xu Feng remained silent.

He didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, CoCo asked, in order to relieve his psychological pressure, "What kind of mechanism is this that you mentioned before? Can you tell me about it?"

Xu Feng sighed: "To put it bluntly, it is the Penrose Stairs that are popular today, but in ancient times, someone researched it and made it into a mechanism called the Hanging Soul Stairs."

"Later, this mechanism was used in ancient tombs by someone on a whim."

"This is the pinnacle of ancient wisdom. Tomb builders with superb craftsmanship will use Qimen Dunjia, combined with the coordination of walls, steps, light and illusions, to deliberately create visual errors to influence your judgment."

"It makes you think you are constantly walking down the stairs, but in fact the exit is right next to you."

"People who don't know the ropes might get trapped to death in the stairs."

CoCo was amazed after hearing this.

"I never thought there would be such a wonderful mechanism in the world."

"Then is our current mechanism also a kind of Hanging Soul Ladder?"

Xu Feng shook his head and pointed at the tiny light in the distance and said, "Look, we can always see the light in Fatty's hand, which means we have been walking in a straight line. If it was the Hanging Soul Ladder, we should have turned a corner, but if we turned a corner, how could we still see the light in Fatty's hand?"

After hearing this, CoCo lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "What if we are indeed turning a corner?"

Xu Feng was a little annoyed: "I've already said that we can always see the light in the fat man's hand, which means we are walking in a straight line. If we were turning, how could we still see the light in the fat man's hand?"

CoCo opened her eyes wide: "Who said I can't see anymore?"

Xu Feng’s expression froze.

CoCo said, "You just said that the Hanging Soul Staircase was created by a highly skilled tomb builder using Qimen Dunjia, walls, steps, light, and illusions to intentionally create visual errors to influence our judgment."

"So could it be that the fat man we see and the light in his hand are actually deliberate visual errors?"

“We seem to be taking a straight path, but in fact we have been taking a detour.”

"It's just that the detour we took is more complicated, so no matter how we go, we won't end up back where we started."

CoCo's words were like a ray of light in the darkness. After Xu Feng heard them, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he had grasped something.

"Yes!"

Xu Feng clapped his hands and spoke slowly.

"I have always thought that the Hanging Soul Staircase is a spiral staircase, and that if you walk up it you will end up back at the starting point, but in fact I have trapped my own thinking."

"Of course, the fat man and the light in his hand are also the culprits. When we saw the light, we subconsciously thought we were on a straight line. Little did we know that the staircase was curved at a certain point, but we naively thought we were going straight down."

At this point, Xu Feng's mind was completely opened, his brain cells exploded rapidly, thinking about the secret of this Soul-hanging Ladder.

"In fact, to achieve this visual effect that confuses us, all you need is a few mirrors."

"The mirror is the essence of this mechanism."

"The person who designed this Soul-hanging Staircase first made a staircase that was several thousand steps long."

“And then at the corner, you have to put a mirror.”

"Even if the fat guy and I are at two ends of a right angle, because of the mirror, we can see each other, so we think we are in a straight line."

"As long as the design of this staircase is more complex and reasonable, we may walk up it for ten days or half a month and always think we are going down the stairs, and we will never be able to walk out of this staircase..."

CoCo frowned and said, "But there is still a problem with your idea that cannot be solved!"

"When we found something was wrong, we immediately turned around and walked back. Then why can't we get back to where we were after walking for so long? If this is a closed-loop staircase, then we will eventually return to the starting point."

Xu Feng said excitedly: "This is the essence of this mechanism!"

"It's those mirrors that are effective! When we were walking back, we were using the fat man and the lamp in his hand as reference points. So as long as the designer had designed the angle of the mirrors more cleverly, we would have been led to another fork in the road unintentionally."

"Maybe there is a way out behind the mirror, but what the mirror reflects is a wall. Even if we look at the mirror from different angles, the pictures we see are different. We have all been deceived by the mirror!"

"In fact, this staircase is still what I called the Hanging Soul Staircase!"

"It's just that the designer added new designs to the original Hanging Soul Ladder, making it more complicated, more bizarre, and more unpredictable."

"Too clever! I wonder which genius came up with this extremely clever mechanism!"

"As long as the staircase is long enough and has enough forks, and no one thinks of the mirror, then even if an army comes in, they will be trapped here and will never be able to get out!"

CoCo was immediately surprised: "Now that we have found the secret of the mirror, can we get out?"

The excited smile on Xu Feng's face suddenly froze.

After a moment, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm not sure either. Although we have understood the principle of this staircase, we must have entered a branch. I just said that if the designer made the staircase long enough and there were enough branches, then it would be harder for us to get out than to climb to the sky..."

"This is a dead end. The purpose is to trap us to death..."

The smile on CoCo's face disappeared instantly.

She sat on the steps, hugged her knees, and looked melancholy: "Are we going to die here?"

Seeing her like that, Xu Feng felt sorry for her. After thinking for a while, he took out the magic wine gourd from his ring and sat next to her.

"Are you thirsty? Would you like something to drink?"

Hearing this, CoCo looked at him in surprise and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm almost dying of thirst."

Xu Feng shook the gourd in his hand at her: "What do you want to drink?"

CoCo looked at the gourd: "Isn't that orange juice in there? Can I choose something else?"

Xu Feng chuckled: "Of course, I'm a magician, I have whatever you want to drink, such as coffee? Or hot milk?"

CoCo's eyes lit up instantly: "There's still coffee? I want coffee!!"

"Coffee? Okay, no problem! Watch me make it for you!"

Xu Feng pretended to cast a spell on the gourd and handed it to her: "Okay, the orange juice inside has turned into coffee!"

"real or fake?"

CoCo took the gourd with a look of disbelief and took a sip.

For a moment, the expression on her face froze.

"Really coffee?!"

She looked at the gourd in her hand in disbelief, as if doubting her own taste buds, and she took two more sips.

Finally, she was sure that the gourd contained real coffee, and it was hand-ground coffee!
It was even still hot!

"How about hand-ground coffee? It tastes okay, right?"

CoCo looked at him in shock: "How did you do that?"

Xu Feng raised his eyebrows: "I told you, I'm a magician."

One minute later.

Xu Feng covered his eyes with a piece of cloth and groped his way forward.

behind his back.

CoCo followed him speechlessly.

"This is your immature idea?!"

Xu Feng walked forward by feeling the wall, and chuckled, "Since I can't trust my eyes, I'll just follow my feelings. Maybe I can find them."

"Besides, I have another treasure!"

With his other hand, he touched his chest, where there was a sewn-up pocket with a gold coin in it.

At this time, the gold coin was heating up slightly.

It took about four or five minutes to walk.

suddenly.

"Damn it! Master Xu, you guys are finally back!"

A familiar voice of the fat man came to Xu Feng's ears.

He pulled off the blindfold and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was Lao Hu and the fat man.

Old Hu looked at the cloth in Xu Feng's hand and asked in confusion: "Young Master Xu, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah... it's hard to put it into words."

Xu Feng sighed with lingering fear.

Then, Xu Feng told everyone what had happened.

Everyone was stunned.

If CoCo hadn't been there to testify, everyone would have thought Xu Feng was joking.

The fat man asked, "What should we do now? Are we trapped here and unable to get out?"

Xu Feng swung the strip of cloth in his hand: "Don't we still have this?"

CoCo said angrily, "You were just lucky as a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Do you expect to be so lucky the second time? This is outrageous!"

"Give it a try, maybe you can actually meet him a second time?!"

CoCo laughed angrily: "Try? Is this something you can try?! If you come across this a second time, I'll let you do whatever you want!"

After half an hour.

Everyone appeared in a spacious stone chamber.

Xu Feng took off the blindfold and looked at CoCo with a smile.

CoCo blushed and looked away, her eyes wandering, not daring to look at Xu Feng. The others looked at Xu Feng in disbelief.

Xu Feng might not know because he was blindfolded.

They saw it clearly.

Just now at the stairs, it was clearly a straight road to them, but Xu Feng was always able to find some incredible forks in the road, and when they walked into the forks, they would find new stairs.

It was all thanks to Xu Feng who led them left and right that they finally got out of the dark and narrow Hanging Soul Ladder.

It's simply off the mark.

Xu Feng’s number one die-hard fan: Fatty.

I directly expressed my great admiration for Xu Feng!

"Master Xu, you are really amazing!"

Xu Feng chuckled: "Luck, just luck."

Everyone laughed and joked.

Begin to look around this stone chamber.

This is a triangular stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber, there stands a stone tablet.

Then there is a door on the left and right.

Xu Feng and others walked to the stone tablet.

There are words engraved on the stone tablet.

CoCo recited spontaneously: "Although I don't know who you are, since you can come here, it means you are not an ordinary person. I have always admired capable people. I can't bear to see you die here, so I want to make a deal with you.

“The two doors on the left and right are the road to life and the road to death respectively.

"Go to the left, and seven treasures will appear. You can choose any one to take away. Don't be greedy, or you may end up in poverty!"

"Go to the right, my guards will be waiting for you. Unless you can defeat them, you will die."

After finishing reading.

Everyone looked at each other.

CoCo was the first to say, "This tomb owner is quite interesting, but isn't this choice a bit too ridiculous? Is there anything inside?"

Wu Qing immediately said: "I think the tomb owner is a hero, so he knows heroes and respects heroes."

The fat man looked at him with disdain: "He can only fool a simpleton like you with his words. Where is this place? This is someone's tomb! Who is the most likely person to break into his tomb? A tomb robber!"

He has arranged so many deadly moves in his victory, would he let a tomb robber get away so easily?"

"Only a naive little white rabbit like you would believe it."

"I can guarantee that no matter which side you choose, it will be a dead end!"

Old Hu shook his head: "Looking at what he wrote, he seems very sincere. I think he can trust it."

Jack Chen and others also expressed their opinions.

Finally, everyone's eyes were on Xu Feng.

They all knew that Xu Feng would be the one making the final decision.
