Tiangong Qi Tan Zhi Shu Lake

The maze does not go in a straight line, it goes round and round.

The strange thing is that the front is flat and open, and Jiang Chuan almost walks blindly with his eyes closed.

After another cave, it is the secret room in the center.

As soon as he entered the cave, Jiang Chuan found that someone had been here, and the door leading to the secret room was opened. When it comes to observing people, remembering things, and reasoning, Jiang Chuan is the best. Just look at the handprint left by sweat on the door. , The handprint is very shallow, almost hard to detect with the naked eye, but in his eyes, it is a clear picture of the hand shape.

Human hands can be divided into five types, metal type, wood type, water type, fire type, and earth type.

Gold-shaped hands, square and square, with broad and strong palms, are the hands of hard-working people; wooden-shaped hands, slender, with obvious bone joints, are the hands of artists; water-shaped hands are conical, wide in the middle, and narrow at both ends.Fire-shaped hands, also called beauty hands, are very delicate, thin and thin; earth-shaped hands are oval-shaped, with a slightly wider joint at the neck of the hand, long fingers, and flat and wide fingertips.

And the hand on the door is thin and thin, it looks like a beautiful hand, and it is not strong enough, so it can easily be regarded as a woman's hand. Although Jiang Chuan has no contact with the other 19 candidates, the [-] candidates The most suitable one here is Hu Changjian.

Jiang Chuan thought to himself that he walked safely all the way, but he stayed in the maze of the Erawan Buddha for a little longer. He didn't expect Hu Changjian to walk in front of him. It can be seen that this person is by no means as harsh and introverted as he appears on the surface, and his judgment on spatial orientation is extremely strong. high.

He suddenly became tense.He didn't know that he thought highly of his opponent, let alone that this place was donated by the Hu family. It's not difficult for Hu Changjian to know the secret.

"Hu Changjian has been here!" Fu Yu, who followed him into the door, sniffed his nose, and said solemnly: "I entered through the door on the right rear, and exited through the door on the front side to enter the secret room."

"How to judge?" Jiang Chuan asked.

Fu Yu looked up arrogantly and said, "I said I could smell it, do you believe it?"

Jiang Chuan subconsciously opened his nostrils and asked, "What's the smell?"

Fu Yu winked at him, "It's the scent of Rosemen's oiran."

Jiang Chuan didn't speak.

"Brother Jiang, why don't you ask me what the oiran of Rose Gate smells like?" Fu Yu asked with a narrow smile.

Jiang Chuan didn't bother to talk to him.Fu Yu was right, Hu Changjian did enter and exit through those two doors.

Jiang Chuan knew in his heart that Fu Yu had Fu Yu's means, and the students who could enter the final round of exams had things that ordinary people couldn't match.

Fu Yu raised his voice: "The scent of this oiran is naturally the scent of small wild roses mixed with jasmine flowers. The name of this scent is 'Water of the Imperial Concubine'. It comes from the fragrance master Hua Ruyi. The scent is divided into front, middle and back. A tonality, and the scent can last for days."

Hua Ruyi is very famous in the south of the Yangtze River and even in the whole country. The incenses produced are divided into nine categories and 81 varieties. The most famous ones are "Water of Royal Concubine" and "Road to Hades", both of which are the best in incense. known as.

Fu Yu paused and continued: "And it is said that the water of the noble concubine is related to Prince Xian."

Jiang Chuan didn't seem interested in this topic.He calculated the maze route he walked based on the traces of Hu Changjian's entry.

Fu Yu was still chattering like a chatterbox, "It is said that when Hua Ruyi met Prince Xian, the moment Jin Feng Yulu met, he was instantly attracted to Prince Xian. This Prince Xian is so charming, especially the demeanor of holding a white fan. Pianpian, and then the two spent the night together. In the early morning of the next day, Hua Ruyi learned that he was the prince and wanted to take her back to the palace. She didn't want to enter the palace, so she left quietly and locked herself at home. Out of this unrivaled love "Water of the Royal Concubine", I vowed to make that night into eternity."

After Fu Yu finished speaking, he opened his nostrils and sniffed around, and couldn't help sighing: "Ham, Lord Xian sometimes feels sorry for women, this "water of noble concubine" is really good, it tastes good and leaves a fragrance, I think it over, I will go back to the capital." I want to take a bottle back and give it to Prince Xian."

As he spoke, he went to push the door. At the same moment, someone pushed the door from the other side and entered, bumping into Fu Yu.

The two fell on the ground at the same time, and it was Hu Changjian who bumped into them, who opened his mouth and cursed: "Which bastard bumped into..."

Fu Yu tilted his head and took a look. Hu Changjian happened to look up, and the two looked at each other.Fu Yu burst into laughter with a "puchi", while Hu Changjian trembled in fright, and swallowed the half-swearing words out of his mouth. He probably never dreamed that he would meet his enemy here.

He got up in a hurry, and shrank to the side while muttering.

Fu Yu raised his hand and patted Hu Changjian's face lightly, "What are you talking about like a girl? Louder!"

Hu Changjian subconsciously put one hand behind his back, "I didn't say anything."

"What are you holding in your hand?" Fu Yu said and broke his hand, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be two tokens.

Hu Changjian stretched out his hand to grab it.Fu Yu stepped back, touched the two tokens lightly, and cursed: "Hu Yanxie, you are really bad..."

Hu Changjian had just entered the secret room, saw three tokens in the secret room, and deliberately took two tokens away.He calculated that the "koi" and Fu Yu were likely to find the secret room immediately after him, so he deliberately took an extra piece.He just didn't expect that these two boys would be so fast, and they were bumped into by him.He was so guilty that he dared not speak out.

Fu Yu raised the token in his hand, shook it at the mournful Hu Changjian, and said, "Brother Jiang, Xiaomei gave us two tokens, one for each of you and me."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and found that Jiang Chuan had disappeared. Fu Yu was about to enter the secret room to find Jiang Chuan when he was entangled by Hu Changjian.

The two wrestled together.

Jiang Chuan entered the secret room and took the last token.

But he did not return from the original path. First, he walked blindly in some of the mazes, and the maze was set in reverse, so the difficulty of returning to the original path was not low.The second is that he wanted to see if this maze was designed by the heirs of the Mohist school, and what other secret techniques are there?Therefore, he chose the narrowest door among the twelve doors in the secret room.

The designers of the maze usually put a special mark on the most difficult level to warn people to enter with caution.

After getting rid of Fu Yu, Jiang Chuan's ears became much cleaner, and he could only quickly calculate the correct path in his head, which was much faster than before.

However, this section of the maze is different from the previous ones. It is more like a passage than a maze. On the top there are three walls, four elephants, 28 constellations, and on the ground are the heavenly stems and earthly branches.

He was a little disappointed at first, wondering if the designer did it on purpose?Are people's guts tested?But for some reason, he became more and more uncertain later on. He didn't know if his feelings were wrong. He actually felt that he was walking in an endless circle, never ending, without end.

At this time, in the side hall of the triple courtyard, the hourglass clock was running, and Mr. Li and several worried examiners were pacing back and forth.

The examiner came to the door in a hurry and reported: "A candidate has entered the Ouroboros maze."

"Which one?" This is what the examiners are most concerned about.

"Jiangchuan."

Master Li quickly unfolded the maze map. The maze map was taken out of the secret box after the exam started. Nine main routes were marked on the map.The hardest of these is the Ouroboros Maze.

This maze is roughly a snake twisted into the shape of an "8", with its head and tail connected, and it is devouring its own tail. The characteristic of this maze is that after entering the maze, people will mistakenly think that they are going forward, but in fact it is an infinite loop.

The way of walking must be the yang stem matching the yang branch, and the yin stem matching the yin branch. Whenever a wrong step is taken, the "snake" will automatically swallow a section of the tail until it swallows it all.
