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

I closed my eyes, reopened them and looked at the question in front of me, and suddenly I felt a sudden enlightenment, and the answer in my heart suddenly appeared.

………

Time passed slowly, and we didn't find any clues at all, this hall didn't seem to be anything special, there were some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, but they didn't look very precious.

"Look!" Zhao Yuyu said.

We walked in front of Zhao Yuyu, and saw a pair of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, the thick ink set off a kind of Chinese style, Danqing is like a wonderful brush, and there is a poem next to the painting, but the above verses, we are very familiar with it, it is the second half of the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's "Peach Blossoms in Dalin Temple": The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are only blooming. There is nowhere to find the spring of long-hate, and I don't know how to turn into this.

"Why is this verse everywhere?" Cui Li looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall and sighed.

Indeed, since entering the labyrinth, we have seen these verses appear to us repeatedly in various places.

"Do you think this Murong Feng likes this poem very much? Several times these verses have been used as clues to the puzzle, and it seems that this time will not be an exception. If you want to get out of here, it seems that you have to start with these verses. ”

I looked at the empty hall, and the only clue was the calligraphy and paintings on the walls.

I looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the other walls, in addition to Bai Juyi in the Tang Dynasty, there were also some poems from the Song Dynasty. However, Murong Feng, who was on the side, looked at me idly, and from his face he could see that he never believed that we could solve this final puzzle.

This puzzle is like an open test, and there is not even a single question, so it can be said that it is undoubtedly more difficult to solve it, but it is not enough to rely on the verses in front of you.

"I thought you guys were so great, or maybe Ouyang Yu's old guy's strange array was just like that, and it was actually cracked by you little guys. Thanks to my painstaking research in the past few years, I don't think you should waste your efforts, it is better to give up as soon as possible. It's easier for you guys to choose first. You just have to leave any of you behind, and the rest of you can get out of here safely, I promise you......"

"What are you kidding? Unless the members of our research group leave together, I will never let any of them stay here. Xia Cheng didn't wait for Murong Feng to finish speaking, so he made his attitude clear and categorical.

"Oh, you ignorant children. Do you know why many of the world's mazes and formations are never broken by one person, or do you need a strong team to get out of there?

Murong Feng said with a smile.

"So, so don't you need a team to get out of here? How can we give up a person at will! Cui Li asked unconvinced.

"Joke, big joke. What do you think the need for a team is for? It's the need to sacrifice at this critical time! Many puzzles and mechanics need to be tried again and again, and the cost of life is not a joke, so what do you children know? It's just a fluke to be able to solve one or two of my puzzles, but this time I'm going to let you know that you don't always get through by luck! Don't think I'm that old guy from Ouyang Yu, I've always done what I say. ”

"What are you kidding? It's just nonsense! Team members aren't meant to be sacrificed! For the sake of sacrificing my teammates, even if I get out of this labyrinth, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. Xia Cheng obviously didn't agree with Murong Feng's theory. In his heart, it seemed that the members of the team were more important than anything else, so Murong Feng's theory was something that Xia Cheng would never agree with. Not to mention Xia Cheng, even I wouldn't let that happen. Too many people have fallen in front of me, over and over again, like a rope that can never be cut, and the pain of losing a teammate is also a weight that life cannot bear. I really don't understand why such a heavy topic seems so natural to Murong Feng.

"Huh. It's impassioned and righteous, but in reality you can't change anything, and in the end you won't choose the first option I gave you? Murong Feng said sneeringly.

We don't have time to argue with Murong Feng now, Li Ruina's situation is still very dangerous, and we must solve the mystery in front of us as soon as possible. I focused my attention on the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

This calligraphy painting depicts a tall mountain peak, and the pine forest on the mountain peak is very good, and it can be seen that the painter's Danqing is very good.

"There's another verse here, and it's ...... Li Bai's poems? Cui Li looked at the calligraphy and painting in front of him and said.

Li Bai's poetry in the Tang Dynasty has always been arrogant and uninhibited, which makes people have to admire his attainments in Tang poetry.

"The sunshine incense burner produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of the river. The wind flow went straight down to 3,000 feet, and it was suspected that the Milky Way had fallen for nine days. Lin Yun read word by word.

This poem is very special, there is no landscape painting on it, and it is not the same as the poem "Peach Blossoms of Dalin Temple" by Bai Juyi that we saw before. It seems that some of the calligraphy and paintings on these walls only have poems, some only have landscapes, and some have both poems and landscapes. But what does this mean? I thought through my mind, but there was no answer.

Xia Cheng carefully recorded all the poems on the wall on paper, and then sat alone and analyzed them, while the others looked for clues on their own. Cui Li was the only one who kept groping for something on the wall.

"Cui Li, what are you looking for?" I asked, confused.

Cui Li looked at me mysteriously and said softly, "I discovered a secret. When he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Murong Feng not far away, and then said softly in my ear: "Cheng Yin, you think, the most used here is the holographic projection technology, just like before, every time we thought there was no road, but in the end, we can always find a way out, and those walls, boulders, or mechanisms that blocked us before are just some holographic projections that make us confused." So I guess this time will be no exception. Don't look at what Murong Feng just said is true, I think he just deliberately delayed our time and undermined our confidence, so that we could only choose to give up in the end. So we can only find the exit faster. Cui Li said as he continued to grope on the wall.

"I said stupid boy over there, don't waste your efforts, if the exit of this labyrinth can be found by you like this, then half of my life's hard work will be in vain." Murong Feng obviously already knew Cui Li's thoughts.
