Chapter 1010 This Woman Is Actually Quite Smart
Li Jiangnan smiled weakly: "What do you mean? Give me the wound medicine, are you still reluctant to die?"
"You are a public enemy of Bailian Temple. You should be handed over to the Discipline Academy for public execution. If you bleed to death, it would be unbeautiful." Wei Dong didn't want to talk nonsense, so he squeezed Li Jiangnan's mouth open and stuffed the pill into it.
Wei Dong is an elite trained by the Palace of Medicine King. The wound medicine she carries is naturally not ordinary. After swallowing a healing pill, Li Jiangnan regained some physical strength in a short time. At least, he can stand up and walk on his own .
Wei Dong pulled up Li Jiangnan who was tied behind his back, and pushed forward: "Go by yourself."
Li Jiangnan staggered two steps, and then said funnyly: "Go? Where are you going?"
"Holy lady, you are not really that kind of stupid woman, are you?"
"Do you think there are forks everywhere in this labyrinthine and complex tomb environment, where can the two of us go?"
Wei Dong was startled when he heard this, and then he woke up. That's right, since he has already entered this maze-like tomb, it will be very difficult to get out again!
She didn't fully realize until now that she really became the Zhongshan wolf trapped in the sack in Li Jiangnan's story just now.
After chasing Meng Lian, there is no way out. Now if you want to leave the mausoleum, you have to face countless forks. If you take a wrong step, you will fall into a dangerous situation that will never be restored, until the water and food are exhausted, and you will be trapped to death. .
Wei Dong was a little panicked, and hurriedly pushed Li Jiangnan, and walked quickly on the road back. Not long after, he came to a fork in the road, and there was a fork in front of the left and right.
"Holy lady, do you remember the way?"
"Why don't we try to take the fork in front of the right?"
Li Jiangnan's hands were tied behind his back, and Wei Dong escorted him away like a cow or horse being escorted, but this didn't affect his mood. He looked at Wei Dong's confused expression and felt only amused.
"Stop talking nonsense, go this way!" Wei Dong was a little annoyed, he yanked the captured cow and horse, and walked into the fork in front left.
In fact, Wei Dong is not all the kind of stupid woman with big breasts and no brains. At least her memory ability is still very good. She vaguely remembers that when she came, she should come from the left front side, but in fact she remembered it right. This left front fork is really a correct way back.
However, no matter how good her memory ability is, she still can't stand so many forks and so many forks. When she passed a fork correctly again and came to another fork, she faced the three forks in front of her, and finally Totally lost my sense of direction.
She looked at the three dark side roads in front of her in a daze. She really didn't know which one was the right way, so she dragged Li Jiangnan over and asked:
"You and Meng Lian are together. She knows how to navigate the maze, and you should know it too. Tell me honestly, which one is the right way?"
Li Jiangnan looked at her and asked, "Holy Lady, are you asking me for directions?"
Wei Dong raised his eyebrows and tugged at his chest collar: "You'd better tell the truth, or I'll kill you with one blow!"
Wei Dong always said this: I will kill you with one blow.Li Jiangnan has heard it countless times. From seeing Wei Dong for the first time, to becoming a horse and a cow to accompany her to practice kung fu, and now when she wants to ask for directions, she will use this sentence almost every time Wei Dong is upset. Threatening him with words, Li Jiangnan has already heard calluses growing in his ears.
Li Jiangnan didn't care about Wei Dong's threats at all, and said indifferently: "Empress Saint, even if you really kill me with one knife, it won't be of much use."
"The point is not that I don't lead you the way. Even if I say I know the way and sincerely show you a way, but do you dare to believe that the way I show you is the right way back?"
"..." Wei Dong was annoyed in his heart, but he had no words to refute, and was unable to say anything for a long time.
She knew that Li Jiangnan was right. Even if this guy was willing to lead her the way, who could guarantee that this guy wouldn't play tricks, deliberately lead her astray, and lead her to a dead end.
Although up to now, no anti-theft tomb devices such as traps have been encountered, but once they walk into the wrong fork, who can guarantee that there will be no such dangerous traps in this Song Dynasty tomb?
Wei Dong knew in his heart that he couldn't trust this guy. Even if he was willing to lead the way, it was only possible that he wanted to get rid of himself. He would definitely use the tomb maze, or the traps in the tomb to find ways to escape from his grasp.
"It's better to die this heart."
Li Jiangnan said indifferently: "You can't go out. Even I came here for the first time. I don't know where these fork roads lead to."
Li Jiangnan had an extremely accurate grasp of Wei Dong's psychology, he knew that Wei Dong could not trust him, and he did not dare to trust him.
"Hmph, I don't believe that a dead tomb can trap a living person to death!"
Wei Dong began to lose her temper. Without hesitation, she took out the flammable items such as handkerchiefs she carried with her, lit them with fire, and illuminated the entire corridor of the tomb chamber. Then she approached and carefully observed the three forks.
Generally speaking, the night vision ability of practitioners is much better than that of ordinary people, especially at Wei Dong's level of qi training, there will never be a phenomenon where you can't see your fingers or your eyes will be black.
The reason why she lit the lights was to observe in a more subtle way, whether there were different small codes left on the stone walls of those side roads, just like road signs.
Because in all complicated and difficult mazes, in order not to get lost, the planners often leave codes that only they can understand at the forks to indicate which is the way of life and which is the way of death.
Besides, this is a Song Dynasty mausoleum, the person who laid it out has long since passed away, but Menglian in today's time and space can come in casually, as if she is not afraid of getting lost at all, so it can be speculated that there are nine out of ten , Menglian made a secret note.
Soon, Wei Dong discovered something strange. On the stone walls above the forks, there was a "Δ" symbol, "Ζ" symbol, or "Ο" symbol on each of the forks, indicating different forks.
And at this fork in the road, the fork marked with "Δ", under the wall on the right side of the cave entrance, on the wall about the height of a child, there is a faintly-existing plain scratch that has passed through an unknown number of years. It seems that someone used a sharp object like a knife to deliberately leave a mark on the wall many years ago.
"Huh? What is this?" Wei Dong was deeply surprised, squatted down, borrowed the light from the fire, and carefully looked at the shallow scratch on the wall half a person's height above the ground.
What she didn't know was that this was the mark left by Meng Lian when she was six years old, because she was afraid of going the wrong way again and escaped from the maze of the tomb by chance.
"I seem to understand that this scratch is very likely to be a road sign left by someone..." Wei Dong squatted there, talking to himself.
Li Jiangnan saw it, and couldn't help thinking: This woman is actually not brainless at all. Not only is she not stupid, but she is also very smart.
Because Li Jiangnan knew that Meng Lian did mark the road signs secretly. When Meng Lian came in, she bowed all the way and fumbled for these road signs left by her childhood.
"Look at the fork in the road, are there any scratches..."
In order to verify the correct meaning of the secret mark, Wei Dong went back to the fork in the road that she had walked once before. She stopped at the entrance of the correct road, and by the light of the fire, carefully observed the wall to see if there was the same scratch mark.
But at this time, the light of the fire became darker and darker, and finally with a bang, the burning material was exhausted, the light of the fire went out, and the tunnel returned to the dark world.
