Chapter 56: On Solving the Mystery
Chapter 56 is about solving the mystery
Before, I just memorized the short sentences in the corridor by memorizing them, but now it seems that the words written on the wall in the corridor are definitely not useless, and there should be a lot of mystery in this. We put the note I had written earlier in the middle and read it sentence by sentence.
"Ugly is to Xin, noon is to yourself. Mao is in Ding, not in B. Life is in the sky, and it is in the dust. ā
Let's not talk about the last sentence, the first few sentences are all stems and earths, obviously containing some kind of numerical relationship, it seems that if you want to unlock this balance lock, you still need to start from these verses.
"There is a total of one heavenly stem, we can think of ten numbers from 1 to 0, and there are twelve earthly branches, how should we define it." I said.
"Ancient people often used the heavenly and terrestrial branches to count, and the perpetual calendar and the zodiac were arranged in this way." Uncle Lu said.
"I said Lao Lu, I'm not very knowledgeable, I didn't understand what you mean, you said that when it comes to the zodiac, then we still have to catch animals?" Dazhe shouted.
"Uncle Lu is just an analogy, don't mess around, I think it may be twelve hours, maybe this lock is a bit similar to our timed password lock, a lock that can only be unlocked by entering a specific password at a specific time." Yun Ximing said.
"Mom, Brother Gongzi, according to what you say, the ancestor of Yin Yin and their family is a cryptographic expert, and the timed password is a specific password used by many high-level institutions, and ordinary people can't use it." Dazhe sighed.
"This may not be the wisdom of our ancestors, the wisdom of the ancients is infinite, maybe it is just borrowing other people's ideas."
"Let's get down to business, if this short poem is deciphered like this, it should mean this, ugly time corresponds to eight, noon time corresponds to six, Mao time corresponds to four, and untimely time corresponds to two. Fatty, is your watch still good? What time is it now? Uncle Lu asked.
"It should be twenty o'clock in the middle of the night."
"That means it's about to be ugly, let's get ready, it's still the old rule, each person is responsible for one organ, and four on one side." Uncle Lu arranged, and I nodded in agreement, and in the remaining dozens of minutes, we prepared separately, and took down some night pearls, and waited for the time signal from Dazhe's side.
As the time passed, the unit prices were all in place, and no one dared to pant loudly, and the atmosphere became a little tense. Zhou Yu began to enter the countdown over there.
"All ready, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
We let go together, the night pearls in our hands fell into the copper jar together, making a crisp sound, I am full of expectations, maybe this is the time to witness a miracle, the wisdom of the ancients, whether the people of today can also be passed on as a good story. However, the result disappointed us, not only did we not find the secret door that should have appeared, but even the roar that should have appeared was not remembered this time, and it was a complete failure. Dazhe sat on the ground, and Yun Ximing was the same, and the two of them were equally depressed.
"I said fatty, is your watch broken, and the time is not accurate?"
"Don't rely on people, I'm an imported Earl Quartz watch, even if you break it, he won't break it, I think your brain is broken." Seeing that the two of them were about to get angry because they were in a low mood and were about to be tense, I quickly stood between them and began to mediate.
"Stop fighting, let's think about whether there is any solution to these short poems." I built yƬ road.
"I agree." Yun Ximing said.
"I agree." Dazhe also came over.
"I disagree!" Uncle Lu raised objections.
"Uncle Lu?"
"Yin Yin girl, your kind of spell is also very physical, are you already overwhelmed, we have been in for so long, if you don't rest, there is no way to deal with anything in front, no matter what, it is always safe here, we should rest for a while first, and then make plans."
When Uncle Lu said this, I really felt tired and sleepy, so I nodded. We gathered in the middle and piled up the backpacks that didn't save much, I took off my coat and put it on my body, Dazhe said that he would not wake up from sleep, so he had to be the first to be on duty at night, then Yun Ximing, and the last one was uncle, because my yin-yang technique was too consuming, so they insisted on not letting me keep vigil.
Maybe Dazhe was too bored, and after we all lay down, he began to fiddle with the balance mechanism with the Night Pearl alone, triggering those strange roars from time to time.
I said in a daze, "Dazhe, don't make trouble...... but before I could finish a sentence, I fell asleep. I didn't even have a dream that night, and I didn't know how long I slept, and I was woken up by the sound of Yun Ximing and Dazhe arguing.
"Fatty, it's all you, look at us now we may never be able to get out."
"What should I do, it must be that this mechanism has been in this place for a long time, and I am getting old."
"What are you two arguing about?" I asked.
"Yinyin, something is wrong, that organ seems to have been damaged by Dazhe." Yun Ximing said.
"It's none of my business, I just gave it a try, and that's it." Dazhe flashed to the side, revealing the scales behind him. There is nothing wrong with the copper jar of the scales being empty, balanced on both sides.
"What's the matter, what's wrong with this mechanism?" I asked.
"Look at ......" Yun Ximing said and picked up three night pearls and put them in two copper jars, one on one side and two on the other. But the scales, which were supposed to be tilted, remained motionless and remained balanced.
It turned out that Dazhe woke up first when we didn't wake up, and in order to pass the boredom, he began to try randomly, at first he tried to put the same amount in both jars, and then for fun, he put in different quantities, at the beginning, the scale would tilt, but I don't know when, suddenly the balance would not tilt, no matter how different the two ends were, they all kept their balance still.
"I think maybe it's something that's in disrepair, maybe it's really broken, if not, let's find out if there's an exit." Uncle Lu said, although I also believe in this statement a little, but I still vaguely feel that something is wrong.
"Dazhe, do you remember when this mechanism was broken, how many were you put in it?" I asked.
"I think about it, I also thought it was fun at the time, and I didn't care, but I put it according to the law of countdown, it seems to be seven on the left, six on the right, six on the left, five on the right, anyway, these are the two kinds."
Seven and six, noon and oneself? Is this just a coincidence, or is it not a coincidence, but a ......
I took out my compass, and the organ that Dazhe had broken was located due south, due south, and it was destined for heaven. Yu Tian?
Is that so?!
