"What's wrong?" the old man said in confusion.

"I have said before that the reason why there is light in the stone chamber and no light in the passage is because the builder of the maze wants us to ignore the situation in the passage." Zuo Qingcang walked to a long-name lamp and continued, "I was wrong."

"What they really want to hide is the things in front of them." Looking at the eternal light in front of them, Zuo Qingcang used a dagger to pry open the lampshade outside the lamp. Looking at the scene in it, his face showed a look of surprise.

In this position that has always been ignored by both of them, the light emitted from the eternal lampshade is not such a fire, but a strange electric light, or... light.

The silver liquid surrounds the eternal lamp, which is the liquid conductive metal that propagates current.

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, there will be a big problem. What kind of fuel can keep the lamps lit up, or even burn for more than two thousand years?" Zuo Qingcang said slowly: "Before the earthquake, shouldn't this maze be sealed? If combustion requires air consumption, how can these lamps keep burning until after the earthquake and until now?"

Zuo Qingcang looked at the eternal light in front of him and thought silently in his heart: 'Is this liquid mercury? I really didn't expect that although I thought there was something wrong with this lamp, I didn't expect that they were actually driven by electricity. The so-called fuel is actually a conductive medium...'

Just as Zuo Qingcang was thinking this, a trace of confusion suddenly flashed through his eyes, and there was a sign of ignoring or forgetting the eternal light issue.

‘It’s true that there is something weird!’

While thinking about this, Zuo Qingcang's right hand had moved first. The sharp dagger was like a lightning bolt in the night sky, bringing out a afterimage, and it turned the light tube in front of him into two.

Not only the light tube in front of him, Zuo Qingcang's brain was almost unable to remember what was wrong with the eternal light in front of him. The only thing he remembered was that he had to destroy all the lights in front of him.

Swish swish swish swish swish!

In the old man's eyes, Zuo Qingcang seemed to be crazy, holding a dagger and destroying one eternal lamp after another. The old man rushed up and grabbed his arm to stop him.

"What are you doing! You'll be completely in darkness."

“Get out of here!”

Zuo Qingcang ignored him and continued to destroy all the eternal lights one by one. Until the last eternal light on the wall was cut off, the entire stone chamber fell into darkness again, and only the night pearl in the arms of the two people still emitted a faint fluorescence.

In the darkness, the two of them squatted down with their foreheads, as if some harsh screams were churning in their brains. After a moment of severe sting, the two of them slowly opened their eyes.

"Is it because of these eternal lights?" the old man murmured.

"Not bad." Zuo Qingcang rubbed his forehead that was still tingling, and said slowly: "In fact, ordinary people come to a maze and will not want to extinguish the only light source in the stone chamber after seeing the dark corridor. This is a psychological loophole.

But what is really important is the illusion ability that these eternal lamps possess after they are lit, which not only traps us here, but also makes us subconsciously ignore them."

This is why every time Zuo Qingcang went to the stone chamber and saw these lights, he felt that he had remembered something, but he couldn't remember what he had remembered. He was curious about the eternal light from the beginning, but because of the neglected effect of the eternal light, he did not go into it in depth.

Until the continuous thinking constantly stimulates one's memory, and with the reminder of the old man, he relies on amazing perseverance to solve the eternal light.

Of course, there are some speculations that Zuo Qingcang buried it in his stomach and did not say it out.

‘Can Taoist priests in the Western Wei Dynasty use electric current? Is this illusion that affects the human body’s senses through magnetic fields created by electric current?’

‘Even in the most advanced army in the last life, this weapon was probably only on the concept drawings. The Taoist priests here can actually be used to build mechanisms…’

Next, the two of them rely on the faint light of Ye Mingzhu to carefully check the stone chamber that had fallen into darkness around them.

However, after some investigation, the old man's face was a little disappointed. Because even though the lights were dim, the surrounding building structure still did not change at all, and it was still a stone chamber of the same size, and it was still a passage in four different directions.

"Is the illusion still not lifted?"

"No." Zuo Qingcang touched several scratches on the wall and said lightly: "The illusion has been lifted, and there are the marks we left before here.

It seems that the effect of this illusion..."

Next, while passing through the stone chamber, the two of them destroyed the eternal lights and removed the illusion. Then, by creating marks, they began to build the structure of the entire maze bit by bit. Without the interference of the illusion, the simple stone chamber maze will naturally no longer be able to be cracked.

During the investigation of Zuo Qingcang and the old man, they found that there were 49 stone chambers in total, divided into three floors, upper, middle and lower, each with different numbers of rooms. Because of the illusion, they had actually been wandering around the forty-nine stone chambers.

‘So, the reason why the corpse monsters before came to the thief’s hole was that the illusion did not work, is it because the human brain and their organ structure were different?’

‘And it’s just a maze of this level, although it’s difficult, it may not be able to trap the tomb robbers. Sure enough, due to the earthquake, there are probably some mechanisms in this maze that cannot continue to operate.’

Zuo Qingcang was not wrong. Due to the earthquake, the spiritual power operation route in this maze was destroyed, and many Taoist mechanisms could not continue to operate. If it was fully operated, there would be Taoist interference inside, the external stone chambers and channels would even change, and there would be countless murder traps.

If Zuo Qingcang and the old man were faced with the maze faced by the tomb robber team that was fully armed and had dozens of Taoist priests, they might not have lived for a day.

While Zuo Qingcang was thinking about some details in the maze, he and the old man had already arrived at the last stone chamber in the maze. Apart from the way they came, the last stone chamber was only left, and it was obvious that this was the exit from the maze.

"I finally came out. To be honest, I was already desperate at the last moment." The old man sighed: "I thought I would starve to death in the end and be eaten by the corpse monster."

"I just left the maze." Zuo Qingcang's expression was still as cold as ever: "Next, I don't know what I will encounter, so don't relax."
