275 puzzles to solve

On the other wall, a third picture hangs.

This picture is a beautiful picture, from the smooth and soft lines in the painting, the ingenious layout, you can see that the artist is highly skilled and extraordinary.

Jin Zhonglou's hand stopped on the hand of the woman in the painting, and when he withdrew his hand, his heart moved, and he groped twice on the hand of the woman in the painting, and slowly sat down on the stool to reflect on his discovery.

On the first picture, it is inscribed with the inscription "It is better to return to the guidance of the heart." This picture corresponds to the third picture, the Admiralty Tower stands up and carefully depicts the hand depicted in the painting, the index finger of the person in the painting is upward, the other four fingers are bent, and the direction of her index finger should be the direction of the mechanism.

The direction of the finger is the roof?

The Admiralty Tower leaped up, and there was nothing but rows of tiles. With a finger of the folding fan, the Golden Bell Tower hangs upside down on the beam, and the fingers touch the direction pointed by the woman in the painting one by one.

The tiles used on the roof of the Pingnan County Mansion are green glazed tiles, which have a special characteristic, and perhaps in this way, green glazed tiles have an extraordinary significance. Admiralty Tower is such a nerd, he has read more books than anyone else, and he is more knowledgeable than anyone else.

Seeing a thing, you can accurately say the origin of this thing, the meaning and connection behind it, this tile did not find any clues, the Admiralty Tower can't help but think from the beginning.

In Dayang, yellow glazed tiles are the first grade tiles, and green glazed tiles are the second grade tiles, which is another expression of the hierarchy in architecture.

According to the system, glazed tiles can only be used in palaces, and palaces and temples can use yellow glazed tiles or yellow trimmings. The other colors are used in the palace or royal gardens, and the prince, the prince, and the prince can only use green glazed tiles or green trimming. The county prince of Pingnan is the county prince who was personally entitled by the imperial court. Outstanding in war, in terms of treatment than the same prince. The status is lofty, so the tiles of the Pingnan County Mansion are all green glazed tiles.

Since ancient times, the architecture of the imperial palace has the saying that there are red walls and green tiles, and the red walls and green tiles do not refer to a specific color, usually referring to "red walls and yellow glazed tiles" or "red walls and green glazed tiles".

As for the green tile, the word "green" is the same as the "bi" in the golden brilliance, it is to describe the color is unusually gorgeous, dazzling, of course, the yellow glazed tiles used in the top of the eaves hall are all green trimmed (for beauty), from a distance to see a little green, so no one has delved into whether the use of this word is appropriate.

For example, it is usually said that the red walls and green tiles of the Taihe Temple. As for the use of glazed tiles, according to the "five elements", all things in heaven and earth are composed of five elements: wood, fire, water, metal, and earth, and these five elements also represent a direction - east, south, middle, west, and north; Each also represents a color - blue, red, yellow, white, and black, with yellow symbolizing the central direction and the Supreme Righteousness.

According to the treatment of the prince, the Pingnan County Mansion is covered with green glazed tiles, which belongs to the "wood" of the five elements, and the main "green" in the color - green and blue. In the biochemical process, the main "sheng", in the direction of the main "east", it is the color of the budding leaves, representing the mild spring. Symbolizes the sunrise in the east.

The main east? But what does these glazed tiles have to do with the east? It can't be the bearing, is it to rotate to the east?

Every time the Admiralty Tower points out a direction, the fingers are against the corresponding position.

The Admiralty Tower has also been explored one by one. There are no inscriptions on these glazed tiles, and each tile is pressed very tightly. I can't push it, and I don't have it at the entrance of the agency.

The Admiralty Tower followed his last guess. With your palms under the green glazed tiles, you try to rotate in an easterly direction. Although this is the only explanation, the Admiralty Tower is not very sure.

After pushing for a long time, the Admiralty Tower did not push. The Admiralty Tower couldn't help but be a little discouraged, could it be that he wanted to fork it, the entrance mechanism of the secret passage was not on this roof at all.

But the floor, walls, and the Golden Bell Tower were inspected one by one, and nothing was found. Then, based on the hint, he targeted the rooftop, which should be reasonable. It's just that he hasn't been able to find the entrance.

The glazed tiles in his hand were shocked, and the Admiralty Tower was pleasantly surprised to find that those glazed tiles actually moved, and they really rotated to the east. I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if the Admiralty's guess is correct.

The Admiralty Tower didn't have time to think about it now, and the three glazed tiles rotated to the east, and the entire inner chamber was changed.

The Admiralty Tower listened, and after the glazed tiles turned, several stone slabs on the ground also activated. The Admiralty Tower leaped from the roof, leaned down, and reached under the stone slabs.

Still three slates!

That is why the floor is not hollow, because under the slate there is no zài hollow at all. Mo Xiaoxian is really a person who is too cautious, such an institution, except for the Admiralty Tower, I am afraid that no one can find it.

But for now, it's not over yet.

Undoubtedly, one of these three stone tablets is a secret passage mechanism leading to the main altar of the Shenmei Palace. But which piece it is, the Admiralty Tower can't be determined.

Try them one by one?

No, with the experience of the Admiralty Tower, tell him that with Mo Xiaoxian's calculations, only one of these three pieces is the correct mechanism. And the other two pieces are likely to be dead ends.

There are three pictures in total, and he only saw through two of them, and there is a picture of a red maple leaf, what does this mean?

The Admiralty Tower was blind, and he had no way of knowing the difference in the color of the three slabs, nor the difference between them. There is no texture, and there are no other iconic places, so it is impossible to judge by the basic condition of this slate.

Jin Zhonglou recalled the three pictures in his mind, the first picture is "Autumn Picture of Leaving Home", which depicts the melancholy of leaving home at a young age, as well as the yearning for an unknown future and the ambition ignited in his heart.

The second picture is a red maple leaf that seems to burn and bloom with its whole life, as if it is as red as a drop of blood, lonely and cold.

The third picture is a picture of a beauty, and if the first two pictures are still somewhat related to the topic of autumn, the third picture has nothing to do with it at all.

The Admiralty Tower empties the mind, forgets where you are, and unloads what you think about. In his mind, those three pictures flashed back and forth.

And all the information in it flew into the depths of his mind one by one.

There are fluttering red maple leaves...... There are melancholy children...... There are slim beauties...... There is a jade finger pointing upward...... "The guidance of the heart, it is better to return" Juan Xiu erected eight small characters......

All the information and hints flashed through his mind alternately, faster and faster, and finally what was left behind was the answer to the puzzle like a hammer hitting his heart!

He had heard Miss Wen say that there was a poisonous insect in southern Xinjiang named Childhong. This poisonous insect likes small dolls that have not grown up, and will crawl out of the deep mountains and dense forests when they hear the cry of the doll, and the doll's urine and tears will become the source of its nutrition.

When this poisonous insect grows up, it can be used to make Gu, and the most representative of them is the Five Poisonous Miasma. For these five poisonous miasma, the Admiralty Tower is no stranger.

Before his disappearance, Doctor Song stayed in Prince Yong's Mansion in order to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treat the five poisonous miasma injuries. The Five Poisonous Miasma sounds like poison, but it's better to say that it's Gu. And this Gu worm enters the human body and grows and reproduces, and this child's red plays a great role.

Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured, and it was also Mo Xiaoxian's hands and feet behind his back?

If this is the case, the conspiracy that the Shenming Palace began to plan behind the scenes is not as simple as plotting the entire martial arts, does Mo Xiaoxian want to extend the tentacles of power and power to the court?

Miss Wen said that the poisonous insect that the child is most afraid of is a poisonous weed called Beauty Maple. Where there is a beautiful maple, the children are all avoided.

But what do these things have to do with these three slates?

The lifespan of a poisonous insect is two months, and the growth period of a poisonous weed such as Meiren Maple is in February, is this a coincidence or is it true?

Two! Whether counted from the left or from the right, two is a piece in the middle without any ambiguity.

The Admiralty Tower has decided, and it is the middle piece!

He also admits that these reasoning processes are somewhat strange to say, but what he has just found has confirmed that his reasoning is correct.

And otherwise, it is not something that Mo Xiaoxian would do.

Although Jin Zhonglou was very curious, did Mo Xiaoxian, who had taken the Forget-Worry Grass, not expect that she would one day lose her most powerful weapon--her smart mind!

If she could have expected this, she wouldn't have set up such a complicated mechanism. If she had thought about it, she would have given herself a more concise hint in her own way, and this method would have been more difficult for him than the former.

As for why Mo Xiaoxian left such a complicated hint, it can only be said that this is a strange woman, conceited and proud. In her opinion, no one can solve the puzzle. She left such an institution as a provocation to all those who tried in vain to find the main altar of the Shrine of the Gods.

The Bell Tower touched the edge of the second slab and found that it was indeed looser than the other two, and the center of the slab was smoother. This confirmed Admiralty's speculation, and he could have judged that it was the middle piece, but Admiralty Tower was a safe person, and he would not make such a conclusion until there was no other clue and time allowed.

And now, he believes that his judgment is not wrong.

Placing his hand on the stone slab in the center, he rotated to the east, and a secret passage was opened on the originally flat ground, and there was just an entrance for one person to go down.

This is the entrance to the main altar of Shinmeigu Palace.

The Golden Bell Tower bent its fingertips and flicked a strong wind into it, and the breeze howled, and this secret passage was open. In this way, it will not alarm anyone else.

The Admiralty Tower walked into the entrance, went down the stairs, and after going down the stairs, the passage was much wider. Mo Xiaoxian is not a person who allows himself to "survive in the cracks", this secret passage is not only spacious, but also very flat.

The Admiralty Tower walked forward without hesitation, for at the end of this secret passage, Miss Wen was waiting for him.
