Tiangong Qi Tan Zhi Shu Lake

Jiang Chuan raised his hand and patted the wall lightly twice, the echo was very deep. After he rapped along the wall again, he finally confirmed that the surroundings of the secret room were solid. He thought, Hu Changjian was right, unless Someone has to open it from the outside, otherwise we can only wait for death.

He glanced at Hu Changjian.

Hu Changjian stood against the wall, raised one foot against the wall in a daze, hummed a little song, and stared at Jiang Chuan with an expression of "I'll see how you get out", seeing that Jiang Chuan was helpless , I still didn’t forget to say sarcasm: "Are you anxious? Are you stupid? This is the strongest in Qingzhou? Koi? That's it? If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would never believe it."

Jiang Chuan smiled in a good-tempered manner, and tidied up his clothes slowly: "It's my fault for Mr. Hu."

"Nonsense! I was so unlucky to meet you." Hu Changjian curled his lips and looked at him with contempt. What kind of embroidered light fur is it? Tell me, what should I do now?"

"There is no other way right now. We can only wait for the stipulated time to arrive and the other candidates have left. Naturally, someone will come to rescue us."

Hu Changjian felt complacent when he heard his tone of weakness, and then thought that he had been delayed in this maze for too long. If it wasn't for Fu Yu, he would have returned the same way with the token and was the first to complete the assessment.

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth with hatred, but with a smile on my face, I said: "I didn't even see what the token looked like, so you snatched it away. Since you can't get out, you have to bring it over and let me see it." Look."

Jiang Chuan thought, don't you think I'm a fool?But after thinking about it, he felt that Hu Changjian was quite cute, not a villainous person.

Seeing his hesitation, Hu Changjian asked directly: "Do you still want to go out? If you want to go out, just obediently hand over the token to me."

Jiang Chuan took out the token from his pocket, held it in his hand, and said with a smile, "Do you have a way to get out?"

Hu Changjian rolled his eyes: "Of course, bring it!"

Jiang Chuan was unmoved: "Then you have to tell me how to get out first."

Hu Changjian was in a hurry, and was about to grab it immediately, threatening in his mouth: "You can't get out with the token, if I don't save you, you will just wait here to die!"

Jiang Chuan didn't dodge either, and watched helplessly as he snatched the token from his hand.

After Hu Changjian grabbed the token, he suddenly shouted, "Why is it only half a dollar?"

He saw three tokens in the secret room just now, and they were placed intact. The tokens are made of snake-grain wood, with intricate patterns carved on them, and the words "Shangfang Academy" are engraved in the middle, but now they hold them in their hands. There was only half a piece of it.

This snake-grain wood is the hardest wood in the world, even with an axe, I am afraid it may not be able to split it in one go. Moreover, before entering the examination room, candidates must hand over their belongings. Without tools, it is impossible to split it so neatly. The token is split in two from the middle.What's more, in his opinion, Jiang Chuan is a weak scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken.

Hu Changjian was shocked, and fixed his eyes on Jiang Chuan: "Why is there half of it? You broke it?"

"This is snake-grain wood." With the other half of the token in his arms, Jiang Chuan shook his head, pretending to be dumb, "It was just like this when I entered the secret room, and I didn't look carefully at it."

Hu Changjian looked at Jiang Chuan suspiciously, and then scratched his head again. Although he was puzzled, but now that he had the token in his hand, he thought to himself, he would explain to the examiner after he went out.

Jiang Chuan stared at Hu Changjian: "Let's talk about it just now, you have to take me out after you get the token!"

Hu Changjian immediately turned his face and refused to admit it: "Just now you walked around and were completely disrupted by you. I have to think about it carefully. Whether I can get out depends on the luck of the two of us."

Jiang Chuan smiled, sat on the ground, and stopped talking.

In the game of Go, there is a trick called 'one piece solves the double sign', just now Jiang Chuan used this trick in the blind chess game he played against himself.

Two white pieces on the chessboard were besieged, and it was a desperate situation. In the end, the white piece dropped a piece, which relieved the trouble of two pieces being confiscated, and also made the three black pieces dead.

Go is like this, if you want to break through the Ouroboros maze and enter Shangfang Academy, you have to rely on one piece of your life.

And this son is Hu Changjian.

Hu Changjian has been playing here since he was a child. According to his temper, if he took a wrong step, he would be angry, but just now he walked around indiscriminately, and he didn't say a word, which is enough to prove that he is right when he is wrong. The exit is here. It's like being in a cage where you can't fly.

However, Jiang Chuan also knew that if he wanted this person who held a grudge against him and Fu Yu to lead him out of trouble, he would never agree. next move.

Hu Changjian saw that Jiang Chuan lowered his eyes, as if he was closing his eyes to rest his mind, so he coughed lightly. Seeing that Jiang Chuan didn't respond, he also pretended to sit on the ground and closed his eyes.

After a while, after Jiang Chuan breathed evenly, he opened his eyes and called Jiang Chuan's name softly. Seeing that he still had no response, he quietly got up and walked a few steps on tiptoe, stretched out his hand in front of Jiang Chuan, and walked back again. He tapped lightly three times on the depression in the wall where he had just sat down.

Twice fast, one slow.

In an instant, the complete stone wall was quietly separated, and a narrow gap appeared. This gap was so narrow that it could only accommodate one person.

He didn't even go back to look at Jiang Chuan again, and walked in without looking back.

The gap was pitch black, and there was a faint light coming in at the end. He quickened his pace and walked towards the light.

"Master, is that you?" A voice came in a low voice, and a person stood in the light with his head poking his head.

It was the voice of Hu Changjian's guard Slender Monkey.

Even Hu Wansan didn't know about this secret passage, and Hu Changjian discovered it by chance.

When he was a child, Zhou Jin lived at home. Influenced by him, he also liked secret tricks. He loved to enter this maze when he had nothing to do. The fastest record was to walk through the entire maze in half a cup of tea. Only a little slower.

In the past, when he entered the Devourer's Road, the thin monkey was guarding here, and when there was a sound of knocking on the wall, he would open the trap and let Hu Changjian out.

"Nonsense, of course it's me." Hu Changjian said in a low voice.

"It's fine if it's you, young master. Ever since you entered the examination room, I was worried what would happen if no one came to answer you in the Devourer's way, so I opened the dog hole at the corner gate, sneaked in and waited here." with you...

Just as he was talking, suddenly there was a scolding voice from an official not far away: "Who is talking?" Then there were footsteps running towards this side.

The thin monkey saw that something was wrong and slipped away immediately.

He was very familiar with the Lion Forest Academy, so when the official sent over, he had already disappeared, only seeing Hu Changjian coming out of a crevice in the mountain.

The official who came was the little man who had been taken care of by Hu Changjian at the gate of the double courtyard.

When he saw Hu Changjian, he froze in fright, but soon sang loudly: "Student Hu Changjian has completed the test questions!"

Then, he looked behind Hu Changjian with wide eyes, and his voice was an octave higher: "Student Jiang Chuan has completed the test questions."

The sound spread layer by layer to the ears of the invigilators in the side hall.

Master Li's pupils trembled slightly, unable to conceal his surprise, he repeatedly praised: "Look, this is the talent that Shangfang Academy needs. All the spare test questions were designed by the expert behind the virtuous king. This Ouroboros maze It was not planned that any students would go in, but these two people not only went in by accident, but also solved the problem, good! Great! Report this matter quickly."

At this moment, Cheng Tiguan suddenly ran into the door: "My lord, my lord, it's not good, something happened."

"What happened?"

"Hu Changjian and Jiang Chuan each hold half of the tokens. How should the tokens be determined?"
