"I said, you can take out whatever you have to do, but no matter what, we'll leave here!" I said.

"Good, good! Then you can solve this second mystery first. Murong Feng said coldly.

I looked at the mechanisms on the wall, originally these mechanisms were the ones that controlled the mechanical arms outside, but who knew that these mechanisms suddenly failed, if I guessed correctly, the failure of these mechanisms was not an accidental thing, I looked at the ten mechanisms on the wall. The numbers on it are neatly arranged from one to ten, and the solution to this second mystery is inseparable from these mechanisms.

It is also the most important secret of this calligraphy and painting.

I took the calligraphy and drawings out of my backpack, and I was wondering why the mechanisms that controlled the mechanical arms suddenly failed, but we were mistaken, they weren't out of order, but they had become another key to solving the mystery.

I looked at the ten mechanisms lined up on the wall, corresponding to the numbers "one" to "ten", which were inextricably linked to the calligraphy and paintings in my hands.

I looked at the calligraphy and drawings in my hand, hung them one by one on the mechanisms on the wall, and then turned them all in turn. After completing this series of movements, I stepped out of the stone wall.

"Cheng Yin." Lin Yun ran towards me, "These mechanical arms suddenly stopped, did you solve the second mystery?" ”

"That's right, but now we have to get back to the hall as soon as possible."

Xia Cheng also rushed over behind Lin Yun, and in this way, the three of us returned to the previous hall together, Cui Li and the others also stood safely in front of us, and all the mechanical arms stopped functioning, falling to the ground motionless.

"Cheng Yin, I knew you could, it seems that we have solved the second mystery." Cui Li said happily.

"But...... How did you stop those robotic arms? Aren't all the old mechanisms out of order? Zhao Yuyu asked suspiciously.

"This is really not my credit, but thanks to Cui Li's help, I can think of this." I said modestly.

"Me? When have I helped you? I'm smart, but ...... Why am I not impressed at all? Cui Li said this not because he was modest, but because he really didn't remember.

"Cui Li, it's impossible for you to forget what Murong Feng reminded you, right?"

"Murong Feng? Didn't he just say that only people who are good at mathematics can solve this mystery, but haven't you already said before, this good mathematics refers to solid geometry? Cui Li looked at me blankly.

"Cui Li, do you remember the commonalities you found in these calligraphy and paintings? And these commonalities have a certain relationship with mathematics. I further prompted.

"Oh...... Why do you say that I remembered, isn't it that the poems of calligraphy and painting all contain a number~ But what does this have to do with solving the second mystery? ”

"Lin Yun, do you remember how many poems and paintings there are?"

"There are only nine poems, and the other is the "Peach Blossom of Dalin Temple", which has both verses and landscape paintings, so it seems that there are ten in total." As soon as Lin Yun finished speaking, Xia Cheng seemed to understand.

"Ten? I remember there were exactly ten traps on the stone wall. So that's the case, no wonder you say that these calligraphy and paintings are the key to solving the mystery. Xia Cheng looked at me and said.

"What is this? Even if the number of calligraphy and paintings matches the number of mechanisms, it doesn't mean anything. Cui Li retorted.

"That's right, if it's just the same quantity, it really doesn't mean anything, but the ten organs correspond to the ten numbers from one to ten, which is a bit too much of a coincidence, right?"

"So you took all these calligraphy and paintings and hung them on each of them?" Lin Yun guessed.

"You're right. After hanging all the calligraphy and paintings, it seems that the mechanism has been reset. I close them one by one, and the second mystery is solved, as you can see. ”

"How can it be? The puzzle found in this hall can only be solved by leaving this hall? Cui Li muttered on the side.

Indeed, the design of this mechanism is very clever. At first, let us find all the clues in the hall, so that we can logically think that all the mysteries are in this hall, but after the first mystery is solved, it magically opens the door to the exit, which seems to make us contradict each other and choose to leave and stay, in fact, it is just to present the second puzzle in front of our eyes. I have to say that Murong Feng does have something extraordinary, and it can be said that it is on par with the "Strange Array" designed by Mr. Ouyang Yu.

At this time, Cui Li suddenly walked quickly in front of Murong Feng and said mockingly, "How is it? Old fellow, I didn't think we could solve your two mysteries so quickly, right? So what's left of that? Hurry up and take it out! We're going to get out of this labyrinth to save people, and we don't have time to mess around with you here!"

Murong Feng glanced at Cui Li with disdain, took a step forward and said, "Young man, I advise you not to be arrogant, solving two mysteries does not mean that you can solve the third. But if you fail to solve the third mystery, then your current efforts will be useless, and it will be a waste of time for me. ”

"You...... You old fellow, you still say I'm arrogant? You are, you look like you're on top! I'd like to see if you'll be as calm as you are when we solve the third mystery! Cui Li said angrily.

For us now, there is only one last mystery left in the labyrinth waiting to be solved, but so far I don't know what the third mystery is. And the clues of calligraphy and painting in our hands have almost been exhausted.

"Xia Cheng, we don't know what the third mystery is? Not to mention how to solve it, and Cui Li's previous words seem to have angered Murong Feng, so it is impossible to let Murong Feng tell us what the third mystery is. Due to Cui Li's recklessness, we have lost the best way to get information, and it seems that now we can only search for it through our own efforts. ”

But at this time, Cui Li was still arguing with Murong Feng.
