Chapter 138 Poetry Fan
“What poem?” Jiang Che looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and asked. He actually forgot what it was for a moment.

“It’s the poem you mentioned just now, ‘From afar, the mountains are colorful; quietly, the birds are silent. Spring is gone, but the flowers remain; when people come, the birds are not startled.'” Lin Xiaoxiao reminded.

Jiang Che suddenly realized: “You mean, this poem has something to do with the maze?”

“Yes, I think this poem may be the key to solving the maze.” Lin Xiaoxiao said affirmatively, “This poem describes a world in a painting, and the maze we are in now is also like an ever-changing painting. Perhaps we can find clues to get out of the maze from this poem.”

Jiang Che fell into deep thought after hearing this. He paced back and forth, silently reciting the poem. Suddenly, he stopped and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: “I understand! This poem is actually telling us that although this maze is ever-changing, some things in it remain constant. We need to find these constant things to find the exit of the maze.”

“So, what are these unchanging things?” Ellie asked curiously.

“It may be some specific marks, symbols or patterns.” Jiang Che speculated, “We need to observe this maze carefully and find these constant elements.”

So, everyone began to search the maze carefully. They found that although the walls and passages of the maze were constantly changing, some walls were always engraved with some mysterious symbols. These symbols always appeared in the same position no matter how the maze changed.

“These symbols must be clues!” Tang Ke shouted excitedly.

Jiang Che nodded in agreement: “Yes, these symbols may be the key to getting out of the maze. We need to study these symbols carefully and find out the rules between them.”

After careful observation and analysis, they finally discovered the secret of these symbols. It turned out that these symbols, arranged in a certain order, formed a route pointing to the exit of the maze.

However, as they continued along this route, just when they were about to see the exit, the road behind them mysteriously disappeared.

“What’s going on?” Tang Ke exclaimed, “Let’s… let’s move forward quickly!”

They rushed forward immediately, but at this time, the exit disappeared.

“We…we can’t get out!” Tang Ke shouted in disappointment.

Just at this moment, a strong light came towards us, illuminating the surroundings.

They were surprised to find that they were back to the place where they had fought with the senior students before.

At this time, the senior students of Zhoutian College were walking towards this side in a hurry.

“We… traveled through time?” Lin Xiaoxiao said in astonishment. “Why do I feel like everything here has happened before? Are we going to fight the senior students again?”

“Everyone be careful, let’s wait and see.” Jiang Che didn’t know why, so he had to remind everyone to be careful.

However, to their surprise, the senior students did not launch an attack as they had done before, but walked right past them, seemingly not noticing their presence at all.

Jiang Che and the others looked at each other, confused. At this moment, they noticed that the senior students were all holding a map and discussing something in a low voice. “Let’s follow them and see.” Jiang Che decided.

They followed the senior students carefully, keeping a certain distance to avoid being discovered. The senior students seemed to be very focused on studying the map in their hands and did not notice the movement behind them.

Jiang Che and his companions followed them through one maze after another, during which they saw many strange sights and dangerous traps that they had never seen before. However, the senior students seemed to know everything about it and easily avoided one danger after another.

Finally, the senior students stopped in front of a huge stone door. The stone door was engraved with ancient runes and flashed with mysterious light. They took out various strange props from their pockets and began to operate on the stone door.

Jiang Che and others hid in the distance and watched, only to see the stone door slowly open, revealing a bottomless cave. Senior students filed in and disappeared into the cave.

“What should we do?” Li Lun asked, “Should we follow in?”

Jiang Che pondered for a moment: “The purpose of our coming here is to find the exit of the maze. Since the senior students can open this stone door, maybe the real exit of the maze is hidden inside. Let’s go in and take a look.”

So, they followed the senior students carefully and entered the cave. The cave was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a mysterious atmosphere. They walked forward along the cave and soon came to a huge underground palace.

The interior of the palace was filled with all kinds of strange mechanisms and traps, but the senior students seemed to know them well and passed one test after another easily. Jiang Che and others also successfully avoided one danger after another with their previous experience and wisdom.

Finally, they arrived at the depths of the palace. They saw senior students gathered in front of a huge stone tablet, which was engraved with ancient words and patterns. They took out various props from their pockets and began to operate on the stone tablet.

Jiang Che and others hid in the distance and observed, only to see the stone tablet suddenly emit a dazzling light, and a huge portal slowly opened. The senior students cheered and walked into the portal, disappearing in the light.

“That’s the exit of the maze!” Ellie exclaimed, “Let’s follow it!”

However, just as they were about to rush into the portal, a huge change suddenly occurred inside the palace. The originally stable mechanisms and traps began to operate frantically, and the entire palace seemed to have turned into a huge death trap.

“Be careful!” Jiang Che shouted, pulling Lin Xiaoxiao and the others to quickly dodge the flying hidden weapons and arrows. They tried their best to avoid all kinds of dangers and finally escaped to a relatively safe place.

However, when they looked back, they found that the portal had slowly closed. They had missed their last chance to leave the maze.

“We… we can’t get out?” Lin Xiaoxiao asked in tears. She looked at the closed portal and the crazy running traps around her, her heart filled with despair. Others also looked depressed, as if they had given up hope.

“Don’t lose heart, maybe that wasn’t the exit of the maze at all.” Jiang Che tried to keep calm at this time, because he found a big bug, that is, they were clearly in front of the senior students, but the senior students couldn’t see them.

Especially considering the grudges between Jiang Che and the senior students, it might be difficult to explain.
