Thorns and bumps, but there is no hesitation.
(Text)
The tide of the spring river is even with the sea, and the bright moon and tide on the sea are aquatic ...... Who first saw the moon on the riverside, and when did the river moon shine on the first person. Life has been infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue looks similar every year. I don't know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water.
Gao Hangshui repeated the poem over and over again, as if he had discovered something again. But others didn't rest at all.
Ouyang Yu looked at the candle and thought about it. The most overlooked thing is often the answer, and almost no one pays attention to the candle, which is probably the most important clue. Ouyang Yu continued to study the drawings. There must have been something he had overlooked.
All the time, they focused their attention on those few calligraphy and paintings, and they couldn't come up with a reason for studying them for a long time.
Ouyang Yu wrote the words "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" on the paper. He suddenly understood something when he wrote the last word. Looking at the five words on the paper, he said to himself: "I see." ”
Ouyang Yu stood up, but at the same time as he got up, Changkong took a step forward and said, "I know, it seems that this place is laid out in five elements, and the so-called five elements here only serve as a hint for us." ”
"You don't go around the bush, just say what you want, what layout, what tips?" Gao Hang Shui said?
"Look." Changkong found the teapot in the center of the hall: "I just said, this should be the ghost lock, and I haven't found any clues about it all this time." Actually, the clue is very simple. ”
"Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth." Murong Feng continued.
"That's right, it's gold, wood, water, fire, and earth." Nagata looked at the teapot.
"What and what is this? Aren't the clues related to gold, wood, water, fire and earth all on the calligraphy and paintings on this wall? What does it have to do with the teapot in front of you? Gao Hangshui still felt that he was not wrong.
"It is this suspense lock in front of me that needs the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and you can see that this teacup is made of metal, and the shelf where the teapot is placed is wooden, and the teapot contains half a pot of water. And the teapot itself is made of clay, but ...... "the sky wants to talk and stops."
"Just? If you can't go on, I'll tell you about it, this gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, you did find the corresponding object, but this fire, you can't find it. So this is not a ghost lock at all, and the five elements mentioned are just coincidences. They're all masters of puzzle solving, so don't you have this skill in front of me, right? "The high hanging water is not reasonable.
"This must be the ghost lock, but this fire, I haven't thought of it yet." Sky replied.
Just a little, just a little, to remind him of that test when he was a child.
I remember the previous test, and the last level was a mystical lock, and at that time he already knew how to unlock this mystical lock, and he needed to gather the power of the sun, moon and stars. The same person who took the test has already completed the test, so it will automatically be judged to have failed the challenge.
Changkong felt that he was very useless, among all the people who participated in the challenge, he alone did not solve all the levels, and in the following years, Changkong accidentally learned that among all the people who participated that year, only his last level was the ghost lock. It didn't matter to him anymore, and it was precisely because of that test that he worked harder than others, and naturally he received more. However, due to various reasons, he didn't have the opportunity to show his ability well, so that others thought that his qualifications were mediocre, and after a long time, even Changkong himself gradually thought so. In fact, he didn't know that his current strength could be said to be rare in the eldest grandson family, but because he had not been confident for so many years, he didn't let others know his true strength.
It's almost a little bit, it was a lack of time before, and this time it's just missing that clue. The sky kept searching, but nothing was found.
"I said that the teapot is just an ornament, and you still spend so much time researching, it's really beyond your strength, what's the matter? Murong boy, it seems that you will withdraw from the realm of decryption after this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to see you again in the future. "Gao Hang Shui feels like he has a chance to win.
"Speaking of apprentices, why are you so confident? We're just one step away from success, and you don't even know where the door to success is. Murong Feng shot back.
"Hmph, you can only talk about it, see if I find a way to solve this maze soon, you won't be able to laugh anymore."
"I'm afraid you're not going to find that way." Ouyang Yu said slowly.
"What did you say?" Gao Hangshui asked.
"I said I'm afraid you'll never find that solution again." Ouyang Yu replied.
"Looks like you've thought of it." Feiyun looked at Ouyang Yu.
"I'm afraid you've thought of it too, right?" Ouyang Yu walked to the staircase as he spoke, he took down the candle hanging on the staircase, and walked back to the teapot.
"Changkong, what you said is not wrong at all, it is all a ghost lock." Ouyang Yu handed the candle to Changkong: "You thought of it first, or you should open it." ”
Changkong looked at the candle in Ouyang Yu's hand, and instantly understood that this was the fire he was missing. He placed the candle on a wooden shelf, then took a match from his bag and lit it.
No one spoke, waiting to see if Sky's inference was correct.
However, nothing seems to have happened.
"Look? I'm right, there's nothing, it's useless at all, and it's pretending to be remarkable. Gao Hangshui said proudly.
"Failed?" Sky didn't believe what was happening in front of him.
He seemed to hear the mockery of his childhood companions again.
"Why are you so useless when you say the sky? You can't solve the simple mechanism, how can the eldest grandson family have a mediocre person like you. ”
"Yes."
Xiao Changkong was playing with the wooden box on the side, this is a prop for the eldest grandson family's learning mechanism, which can usually be unlocked in two hours, but Changkong has been studying it for two whole days, but there is still no gain.
Even the teacher who taught him couldn't stand it anymore, so he gave this wooden box to Changkong so that he could study it well.
Xiao Changkong was very serious on the side, this wooden box could be rotated around, and it was obvious that it had to be turned into a certain order before it could be opened.
But what Changkong didn't know was that although this wooden box was exactly the same as the teaching props, the difficulty was incomparable. And why Changkong took this wooden box, he can only blame the props staff who managed the wooden box for not being careful enough, and when he sorted out the props, he dropped this Tianyuan wooden box into the props wooden box.
That's why Changkong couldn't solve it after studying it all day, this Tianyuan wooden box is the ultimate test of the advanced maze designer of the eldest grandson family. Don't look at this wooden box to look ordinary, there are countless hidden mechanisms in it. Even Changsun Xia's most powerful puzzle-solving master, I'm afraid it will take three days to solve it, let alone the young Changkong.
It was late at night, there was no longer the sound of children playing in the courtyard, and the family had already slept, but there was still a light in the long empty house, and he couldn't untie the wooden box at this time.
At this time, grandpa came over: "My little Changkong, why don't you sleep so late?" ”
"I didn't finish the homework assigned by the teacher." Changkong said in frustration.
"Why do you have to study so late when you go home to work? Show me the wooden box in your hand, child. "Grandpa knows that Sky is not a stupid child, and the homework for this elementary maze design course will not stump him.
When Grandpa took the wooden box and looked at it, he finally understood the reason: "Xiao Changkong, this is your homework?" ”
"Yes, everyone has one, but mine is the only one that hasn't been unraveled."
Grandpa looked at the wooden box, in which the thirty-fifth road of Tianyuan had been unlocked. Its Tianyuan wooden box has a total of 52 organs, which are interlocking and inseparable. It is already a remarkable thing that Changkong was able to solve thirty-five of them on his own.
