Volume 1 The Four Elephant Demon Palaces Chapter 20 Puzzle solving

We set off again and entered the main hall. The main hall is very large, much larger than the tomb we entered, at least tens of thousands of square meters. As for the height, because of the light, the top is not visible. The others must have seen it, but I was asleep because I had come in earlier, so the first time I saw it, I took a closer look.

The first thing you see when you enter the main hall is the pyramid in the center of the main hall, which is right. It's just that it's a small pyramid fifty or sixty meters long, and there are steps to go all the way to the top.

I climbed up, looking around as I climbed up. Because I'm curious about how this place is lit. There is light here, but there is no fire, of course, there is no need for fire for lighting, and electric lights are fine, but this is an ancient tomb of unknown dynasties, and it is impossible to have electric lights.

I looked around, and there was light everywhere, but there was no light.

I couldn't help but ask, "Did you see that?"

"Hmm!" All responded.

Luna said, "We checked, there were no lights, no fire, and the light seemed to come from the rocks."

Yes, I was amazed to find that the green light really seemed to come out of the rocks. The surrounding walls, including the entire pyramid, glowed green, like the glow-in-the-dark powder that I played with as a child, but that thing needed to absorb the light source before it could emit light, and it was not a permanent glow, and it would disappear after a while.

It's obviously not here, because seven or eight hours have passed since we came here, and the light here hasn't changed at all, and there is no light source here, how to absorb it. So it's safe to assume that these glowing stones aren't glow-in-the-dark powder.

I asked again, "Did you find anything?" Such as texts, murals and so on! ”

It was Luna who answered me, Alice who disdained to answer me, Victoria, Phoebe, and Serena who were hostile to me and ignored me. Only this one with Japanese roots, some baby fat, and some cute Luna will answer me, and she speaks very softly.

"Not at all!" Luna shook her head with some regret, then said, "However, there seems to be an altar at the top of the pyramid!" And some pictures and stuff like that! The captain said it was a puzzle-solving mechanism! ”

When Luna said this, I immediately became interested, and quickly walked up, and the others followed me. I was snickering in my heart, and I secretly wondered: "Could it be that I unknowingly, the spirit of the king is leaking out, and these people are all looking forward to me?"

Of course not, it's just my whim, because Victoria and the others checked the whole tomb and found only one mechanism on the pyramid, and none else, so they followed me just to go up and solve the puzzle and solve the mechanism.

When I got to the top, I looked, and sure enough, there was a rectangular altar, and I wanted to find some traces of history and clues from the altar, but unfortunately there was no problem, there were no murals, and there was nothing.

The altar has an operation interface, there are many squares on the interface, each square is carved with different things, snakes, insects, rats, ants, birds and beasts, as well as patterns representing wind, fire, thunder, lightning, rain and snow, and so on, anyway, there must be dozens of them.

And in the middle are a few grooves, and I tried those squares that can only be slided, not picked up, which is similar to the sliding puzzles we played when we were kids.

At this point, this puzzle game is clear, let's choose the right pattern from those sliders and put it in the middle.

Although the method was found, but there was no hint, no one knew which pieces to put in, I roughly looked at it, those grooves, just the size of four sliders, from dozens of sliders in the pattern, choose four, and it is possible to arrange it in a certain order, almost infinite possible arrangement state, let me choose.

I looked at the others, now is not the time to be stubborn, I must give up my prejudices, everyone sincerely cooperates, it is possible to find clues, so I said: "Things have come to this point, no one wants to, but since this is the case, I still say that only by uniting can it be possible to escape." We had a lot of misunderstandings before, because misunderstandings caused a lot of damage, but now we all have the same goal, in order to get out alive, so I propose that we put aside the controversy, study this problem together, and finally overcome it together。。。。。。 ”

"There's a lot of nonsense, and it's all, we're not as stingy as you men, and we'll hold grudges at every turn!" Alice interrupted me directly.

Naturally, I was not happy, but I also frowned and endured, and did not speak, but looked at Victoria. Victoria began to look at her coldly, looking at me at her, then she put down her hand and said: "If you have any ideas, just say it, I won't do anything to you without threatening our safety!"

Victoria is hateful, but I believe in her, she is a man of her word. After receiving a promise that she would not secretly attack me, I said: "In that case, I won't say more, what thoughts and opinions can you have and brainstorm ideas!"

Serena pointed to the altar and said, "Along the way, we didn't find any words or murals, and on the surface there were no hints, but in fact, we ignored the flock of light birds!"

That's right, it's a flock of light birds, in fact, I've thought of it a long time ago.,The puzzle mechanism here must have something to do with the flock of light birds.。

Since entering this tomb, there have been no clues, which should be deliberate, not wanting irrelevant people to know the secrets.

For example, I found a cave in a tomb that was obviously a wall, and I found an underground forest, and there were also light birds.

When I think of this, I can't help but think, am I destined? But no matter how you think about it, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it. And the light bird finally blew himself up in order to save our group of people, which means that there must be someone among us who has something to do with this tomb, I don't think it can be me, then it can only be Victoria.

Judging by their utter undauntedness for bugs, and their determination to keep going, they must know something. These are all my guesses, and I will talk about the research later, and it should be time to solve this puzzle in front of me.

I remember the light bird at that time, and the picture demonstrated by the four animals on it, looked very similar to the legendary four divine beasts - Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, Green Dragon and White Tiger.

I saw a similar pattern in the slider in front of me, so I said to everyone: "Everyone should be able to see that this puzzle is related to the four mythical beasts in myths and legends!"

Everyone nodded, and Victoria spoke: "You can do whatever you want, although we all speak Chinese, we know very little about Chinese culture, let alone myths and legends!"

I was depressed, and I wanted to explain it, but now people don't have the intention to listen to it. To be honest, I don't know much about these myself, but I've read online novels, and I know a little bit about the gods in the novels.

This time Alice didn't slap me in the face, but leaned closer and said: "They all grew up abroad, I have lived in China for more than ten years, I know a little bit, I understand what you said, but looking at the situation here, it is obvious that there are requirements for the direction, the four divine beasts must correspond to the four directions, if they are wrong, it is estimated that the activation of the organ will kill people!"

Alice's words made me excited, just now I was indeed a little proud of my little discovery, and I almost put the slider in it, if that was the case, I guess my life would have been over a long time ago.

At this time, I was extremely grateful, I didn't expect Alice to be serious, it was quite reliable, but as soon as I thought about it, I regretted it. I only heard Alice continue to say seriously: "If you are mistaken, it doesn't matter if you die, don't bother us!"

I just reacted, no wonder those goods were so far away from me, I didn't dare to lean over, at first I thought it was my domineering spirit leaking out, which shocked them, but in fact, these grandsons were afraid that I would affect them.

I looked at everyone with disdain, Li Xiang was embarrassed, and his face was expressionless, he had been like this since Lao Cai's accident. Victoria, except for Alice, who smiled cheaply, the others simply ignored me.

I gasped for air in my nostrils and started to slide the slider, a little astringent, but still sliding. I slid and silently recited: "Left green dragon right white tiger!"

To be honest, I don't know the exact corresponding direction, so I can only guess by the description in the novel in my memory. According to the common sense of going up, north, down, south, left, west, right, east, I am going to put the green dragon in the west.

But I'm speechless, which side is the west? I shouted to the back, "Who brought the compass?" Which side is the West? ”

Luna raised her little hand and said, "I brought it!"

"Give it to me!" I said.

But Luna then says, "But it's broken! Somehow if you go underground, the compass doesn't work! ”

I was a little speechless, and when I didn't breathe, Luna immediately lowered her head as if she had made a big mistake. Looking at her aggrieved appearance, I can't be angry with others, so I can only sulk myself, and I have to comfort others: "It's okay!" It's okay! I'll do the math, I'll know with my fingers! ”

I really said it casually, and everyone looked at them with disdain, but Luna's eyes were full of stars, and she said with a look of adoration, "Ah! Are you sure? Honey, you're amazing! ”

Luna's cuteness immediately caused a black line in Victoria and the others. Actually, I'm also a little speechless, with Luna's cuteness, I've been in the country for a long time, and I've been deceived into selling it a long time ago, and I have to help people count the money, and after counting, I treat people as good people, and I bow down with gratitude.

I know that she is talking about Qin Aide, not dear, she is a person of Japanese ancestry, and she has not lived in China, and her Mandarin itself is a little non-standard, so she can't tell the difference between Qin Aide and dear at all! Not only her, but even Victoria has a foreign accent of varying degrees, and her pronunciation is very non-standard, and calling me by my name also sounds like saying dear.

Only Alice called me by my name, but she never called me by my name. Of course, other people don't call me much, especially when I find that my name is very similar to my dear, so I resolutely don't call it.

Since the compass doesn't work, I can only rely on my own wisdom to speculate. First of all, this pyramid is a square, and this hall is also a square, two squares, the sides are not parallel, but perpendicular. The cave in which we came was in one corner of the main hall, that is to say in one corner of the square.

The groove in which the altar is used to place the slider is fixed, a tic-tac-toe shape. In this comparison, we can determine the four directions, although it is not possible to determine which side is which direction, but at least it will not be the southwest and northeast directions.

The following is determined, the specific direction, this really needs to rely on a little luck, my luck has been bad, but I also plan to fight, anyway, the front and back are dead, can only fight!
