I also hope that things can be as Lin Yun said, my heart is still always worried about Li Ruina's safety, every second we stay here, her danger will increase by one second.

I blamed myself deeply for my own powerlessness, how small I was.

"Lin Yun, I'll do my best." I said.

I watched and I was going to get out of here with them anyway.

We started looking for new clues, and everything started from scratch again, and all our previous efforts were in vain. But I believe that as long as you don't give up hope, you can always get out of here.

"Oh my God, the more I look at these landscape paintings, the more I feel that there is no difference." Cui Li complained.

"Landscape paintings, either painting mountains or water, it's not so strange that they look similar." Zhao Yuyu carefully looked at the landscape in front of him, and just when everyone was confused and distressed to find clues, Murong Feng didn't know when he appeared next to me.

He lowered his voice and whispered in my ear, "I see that you are not like them, I can give you a special advice, now I can open the door to leave for you, but you must leave this group of burdens behind." Young man, why should you be so stubborn? These people may be your friends now, but what about ten years from now? Twenty years from now? Everything changes, believe me. The last thing Murong Feng said seemed to be speaking to himself.

I didn't take his advice, but I could hear the sadness in his heart.

"Can I ask you a question? What grievances do you have with Mr. Ouyang Yu? Why do you hate him so much? ”

"Grievances? Young man, are you joking? How can the matter between me and that old fellow be summed up in a grudge? I said that I am incompatible with him, all I have to do is defeat him, defeat him completely, and let him know who is the best in the world to design the maze array. Murong Feng said.

"How do you seem that you and Mr. Ouyang Yu have known each other for a long time." I asked, knocking on the side.

"Acquaintances for a long time? When I knew him......" Murong Feng suddenly stopped and looked at me, "Young man, you are really very smart, and you know what to say about me." I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, the grudge between me and the old guy Ouyang Yu has nothing to do with escaping from the labyrinth, if you have this leisure, you might as well think about how to solve the puzzle in front of you. ”

Murong Feng was really an old fox, and he originally wanted to get something about this maze out of his mouth, but he didn't expect the topic to end before it could be started.

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, Murong Feng suddenly stopped me loudly: "Young man, I hope you will think carefully about what I said to you before, and if you agree, I am willing to pass on all the skills I have learned in my life to you." ”

"I think you'd better not talk about it. Although I don't know about you, I believe that the power of an individual is always small, and there is no success without a team. I replied without hesitation.

"Young man, he really has character. Although you did not accept my advice, I would like to give you a hint that may help you solve this strange array, but it may also leave you in a deep hole. "Murong Feng spoke very loudly, and it didn't seem to be just for me.

"I don't believe you're so kind and give us a hint? There won't be any other plans, right? Cui Li asked in disbelief.

"I'm just kindly reminding you, it's up to you whether you listen or not. This labyrinth looks very simple, but it is actually very intricate, and the mechanism I designed is extremely exquisite, consisting of three puzzles, so you can only solve this labyrinth by analyzing the situation you are facing from different angles. By the way, I would like to remind you that only those who are good at math are easier to solve. ”

"Someone who is good at math? Isn't that me? Growing up, I was almost always at the top of my math grades. It seems that the task of solving the puzzle this time is going to be placed on my Cui Li. ”

I don't know what happened to Cui Li, after listening to Murong Feng's words, he got up alone there.

Someone who is good at math? Does this puzzle require complex calculations? But what is in front of me is only some poetry and landscape paintings, where is there a need for mathematics? I'm starting to get confused again.

The hint Murong Feng gave us was useless in my opinion, maybe he just said it on purpose, so that we would never be able to solve the puzzle.

After Murong Feng's hint, everyone quickly changed their methods of finding clues, and seemed to be deliberately looking for any details related to numbers. For example, whether the "mountain" and the number "three" in landscape painting are similar, and how many paintings and words there are on the wall, all in all, everyone will never let go of any place that has something to do with numbers, and carefully figure out whether there are any important clues contained in it.

Just because Murong Feng's words disrupted all our rhythms, and we didn't even know if what he said was true or false. If you continue to search like this, you may get farther and farther away from the truth, and everyone seems to be happy with it.

"Come and see, come and see, what I've found!" Cui Li suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything? Zhao Yuyu asked as he walked.

"Come and read the verses here." Cui Li pointed to the verses on the wall and said.

Lin Yun looked in the direction Cui Li pointed out, and read word by word: "Two yellow orioles are singing green willows, and a line of egrets is in the blue sky." The window contains willow moon and autumn snow, and the door is berthed in the Dongwu Wanli ship. ”

After Lin Yun finished reading, he blinked his eyes and asked, "This poem is very ordinary, is there anything wrong?" ”

Cui Li said happily as if he had discovered a new continent: "You see, there are two numbers on this poem, the 'one' of a line of egrets in the blue sky and the 'two' of two yellow orioles singing green willows, isn't this Murong Feng's hint to us?" ”

Cui Li has some truth in saying this.

"Yes, if you say so, almost every ancient poem on this wall contains a number." Lin Yun suddenly realized.

I didn't expect that there would be such a mystery in these simple verses. I looked at the verses on the wall, and sure enough, just like Cui Li had discovered, it was just a coincidence, and it was really the key to solving the puzzle. Hope is back in front of us.
