The road ahead was thorny and bumpy, but there was no turning back.

I didn't expect that there would be such a mystery in these simple verses. I looked at the poems on the wall, and sure enough, just like Cui Li had discovered, it was just a coincidence, and it was really the one who solved the puzzle, "Yes, if you say so, almost every ancient poem on this wall contains numbers." Lin Yun suddenly realized.

The essential.

The first sentence of the poem "Peach Blossoms of Dalin Temple" that we have been watching before, "The April flowers in the world contain a number, and almost every poem we see after that has a number." For example, "The 'three' in the three thousand feet of flying stream, Jiang Feng's 'right' to the sleepy one is the number 'two'." In this way, Cui Li seems to have found the key to the problem.

But what do these numbers really say? At this point, we are at a loss again. The clues that were finally found became useless again. It's like a long marathon, it feels like you're about to reach the finish line after every turn, but there's nothing in reality. It's like exploring in the dark, but it's hard to find that ray of light. At this time, it is often accompanied by despair and sighs, and I can't help but ask myself from time to time. But I know that it is far from time to give up, the real challenge has just begun, even the darkest sky will appear at the moment of dawn, but if you give up, it is equivalent to accepting the eternal darkness.

"What the hell is this, it's hard to find the clues to these numbers, but what is the purpose? I really don't understand, can't the exit of this maze be calculated by mathematical equations? Lin Yun complained.

I suddenly thought of something: Murong Feng said in the hint that this puzzle can only be solved by discovering the problem from different angles. What exactly is this different perspective? It seems that no one has ever thought about the problem from this sentence, but the knowledge is stuck to the sentence that only good mathematics can solve this puzzle.

Many times, the truth of the truth will always be unintentionally ignored, and at this time, I need to grasp this clue and find a way to leave.

I began to ponder, what exactly do different perspectives mean? I tried to move myself to observe everything in the hall, but I found that no matter how much I moved it, it didn't change. The landscape paintings on the wall, no matter how far and near, or from near to far, move from side to side, but there is still no change. Am I being too careful? Murong Feng's words actually didn't have much deep meaning.

I felt my head hurt more and more, I couldn't find my direction, and my mind started to stop.

But at this moment, I suddenly remembered what Cui Li once said—why do these landscape paintings look so similar?

Yes, the people who write or paint are constantly changing their styles, so that no one will find out that the calligraphy and paintings are from the same person. But in that case, why do these calligraphy and paintings look so similar? Isn't that trying to cover it up? Or am I overlooking something?

I walked over to one of the landscape paintings and carefully studied every detail on it.

It was at this time that I suddenly discovered a problem that we had been overlooking all along. Thinking of this, I quickly walked a few steps to the side and observed another landscape painting. In this way, I kept going back and forth between these landscape paintings, looking for the subtle differences on them.

Through several repeated comparisons and analyses, I magically discovered a place, a place that was overlooked by all of us.

"I see!" I couldn't help but shout loudly.

"Cheng Yin, what's wrong with you? Why did you start yelling like Cui Li? Lin Yun asked.

"I found out, I finally knew." I said out loud, "We've been overlooking one of the most important things. ”

"The most important thing, Cheng Yin, what exactly do you want to say? Haven't we thought of everything we can think of? What else we didn't expect? Zhao Haoyu asked.

At this time, I realized that Xia Cheng had stayed in his previous position and had not moved, and the only thing he had done was to keep drawing something on the paper, as if this was important to him.

"Cheng Yin, you should hurry up, what did you find?" Cui Li urged on the side.

"From just now, Lin Yun noticed that these poems and landscapes on the wall seem to be written and depicted in different styles and fonts, but in fact these calligraphy and paintings are all from the same person's hand." I said slowly.

"What? You say that these calligraphy and paintings are all from the same person? How is this possible? Zhao Yuyu retorted, "These calligraphy and paintings seem to be profound, how can they be from the same person's hand?" ”

"Yes, these calligraphy and paintings are indeed profound, but the creator has never been able to change his original habits, and it can be judged from the subtle brushwork that they should be made by the same person." Lin Yun expressed his opinion.

"It's incredible, and if you're telling the truth, the people who write these calligraphy and paintings are amazing." Cui Li couldn't help but sigh.

"That's right, if my guess is correct, the creator of these calligraphy and paintings is you, Murong Feng." I changed my words and looked at Murong Feng behind me.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! Young man, good eyesight! I deliberately used different fonts and painting styles to cover up these paintings by my own hand, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you. Murong Feng said with a smile.

"Cheng Yin, you said so much, even if these calligraphy and paintings are all painted and written by Murong Feng, so what? What does it have to do with our search for an exit from here? Zhao Yuyu pulled the topic back again.

"That's right, this is precisely one of the keys to solving this puzzle, the reason why Murong Feng deliberately used different brushstrokes and fonts to cover up that these calligraphy and paintings were made by the same person, his only purpose is to make us think that these calligraphy and paintings are his collection for many years, or someone else's pen and ink, and in this way, we will not be able to guess the important key." I said.

"The key to the matter? What's the key? Zhao Yuyu asked.

"The key to this is that all landscape verses describe the same place." I spoke in a low tone and looked around.
