Tang riddles

Zhang Ruohan's sense of direction is really inferior to Shen Sui's.In such a maze, Zhang Ruohan was able to use his own wisdom to break through the mystery of the trapped people in the maze and find the secret door. This actually has little to do with the sense of direction.She's just taking advantage of the simple fact that no two things are exactly alike, especially if they're artificial.What she uses is her delicate observation ability and huge memory ability.

But Shen Sui is different. Although her memory ability is not as good as Zhang Ruohan's, it is still very good. Similarly, her observation ability is by no means inferior to Zhang Ruohan's.More importantly, she has well-trained thinking and can calmly analyze and reason in ever-changing situations.This maze, once she knew what kind of knowledge background it was built on and judged the general direction, it would no longer be able to trap her.The 28 constellations in her hand have obviously become her map. Although the star map is far from the road of the maze, she can use her powerful spatial thinking ability to accurately find the way forward.But even so, in the process of searching for the exit of Sanjuku, they inevitably encountered obstacles several times, such as encountering a dead end, or taking a detour.

According to the direction of the secret door where the black-robed man was before - Dou, East, and horizontal three rows of eight, Shen Sui drew horizontal and vertical lines on the star map, roughly marking the location of this secret door.Then, she judged the positions of the two secret doors she found and the three secret doors Zhang Ruohan found before, and marked them on the star map.Observed for a while, then she laughed:

"We don't have to worry about it. The secret door is actually a road sign. When we see the secret door, it means we are in the right place. The secret door opened by the man in black is actually the position of the Dou Sanxing. And the few doors we found The hidden doors are all where the stars that make up the constellations are. This is simply a signpost."

When she led Hutuo and Zhang Ruohan to the last straight road leading to Sansu at an astonishing speed, Hutuo was already numb with admiration.

"Sansuku, the first line of three stars, it is very easy to judge. There is a secret door here, which is closed. We only need to pass through this secret door and go forward to see the second secret door. Open the second secret door. You should be able to see the exit door." Shen Sui explained.As she spoke, she untied Qianhe behind her, put Qianhe across the horse, jumped off the horse, squatted down, and looked for the mechanism to open the secret door.

"I found it!" Zhang Ruohan found the mechanism before Shen Sui. Like other mechanisms, she pressed it once, and the mechanism popped out, and pressed it again, and the door opened.

"Be careful!" The door opened at an unusual speed, and it bounced to the left in an instant. Shen Sui immediately judged that something was wrong, and immediately rushed to Zhang Ruohan, who was beside the door, and threw her to the ground, protecting him Immediately afterwards, the sound of howling arrows piercing through the air came, and all crackling hit the wall directly opposite the door, and the wall was immediately pierced into a hornet's nest.

Hutuo, the unconscious Wuya, Qianhe, Shen Jin, and two old horses and two camels were on the right side of the door, close to the wall, just out of the shooting range of the arrows. , he also broke out in a cold sweat:

"There really is an attack mechanism!" He looked at the huge and powerful Zhuge Liannu hidden behind the door, and felt a chill.

"It means we have found the right place." Shen Sui licked his dry lips, helped Zhang Ruohan up, and asked with concern:

"Lotus maid, are you alright?"

Zhang Ruohan shook his head, his complexion was a little pale, and he was obviously still in shock.

"We must be careful in the future, I'm afraid there will be agencies." Shen Sui reminded.

Hutuo and Zhang Ruohan nodded together, expressing their understanding.Shen Sui told them to stay where they were for a while, she took the snow knife out of its sheath first, held it in her hand, and then carefully walked into the door tentatively. Not long after, she noticed that a slender tree was buried on the ground where she was about to go out. The dark thread is stretched on both ends of the inner wall of the door, and a thin layer of fine sand is buried on it.She lightly picked the dark line with the tip of the knife, only to hear a buzzing sound, and the tight dark line broke immediately, and then several crossbow arrows were shot out rapidly, the direction happened to be on the open space inside the door, concentrated on the Near the large Zhuge Liannu.

"What a cunning trap." Shen Sui frowned.To be honest, when the door was opened just now, the arrows were not that difficult to dodge. Anyone who has a little experience in the world, who has experienced the hidden arrows of the mechanism, knows that the moment the door is opened, one must hide by the side of the door in order to avoid the arrows from inside the door. Sudden attack and kill.However, after going through the first hurdle, the mental state must be unstable afterwards. After entering the door, you may really ignore the second trap that comes immediately. Once you enter the door and touch the second trap, you will encounter a trap. The sudden back attack, this is a mechanism that is difficult to avoid.The Zhuge Liannu in the first level is placed so conspicuously, the purpose is to attract the attention of intruders and make people ignore the hidden lines under their feet.

Shen Sui backed out of the first gate, and led the camels and horses in.She let the camels and horses walk on the outermost sides respectively, and the people walked in the middle, so as to resist the danger of sudden attack from the outside.At the same time, in order to take care of the three fainting companions on the back of the horse and camel, she hung down the pack bag from the camel and covered them as a shield.The hardness and thickness of the bag is enough to withstand the crossbow arrows.As for the man in black robe, she didn't take any measures. Although Shen Sui didn't want this man in black robe to die, she had no choice but to arrange it in this way given the limited luggage.

Qianhe and Shen Jin aside, Wuya's abdomen was injured, and it was actually very uncomfortable to lie on the hunchback.Although the compression of the abdomen can stop the bleeding, it can also have a bad effect on the wound.It's just that at the moment, Hutuo can't ride on a camel to hold her, so he can only wrong her to endure for a short time.

Fortunately, after the second mechanism was triggered, everything went smoothly until the second door.

However, when they saw the second door, they were a little confused.First of all, this door is not the original mechanism door, but a double red lacquered wooden door.But this wooden door is not open with a push. In the very prominent position in the center of the wooden door, you can see a metal disc that is probably a mechanism lock.It can be clearly seen that the metal gears in the center of the disc are meshing with each other.

"This... how to open this?" Hutuo asked confused.

Shen Sui held his chin with one hand, and was in deep thought.She carefully observed the metal disc. In its center, there are eight square metal pieces that seem to be movable, framed in a nine-square grid.A metal rod is welded behind each metal sheet. Moving the metal rod can change the internal structure of the door lock until it is opened.There are nine grids in total, one is empty, and the rest are filled with square metal pieces.There are strange engravings on each piece of metal.This seems to be a jigsaw puzzle, and the door can only be opened if the correct pattern is spelled out.

"Three Stars of Sansuku, the folks believe that the three stars of Fu, Lu, and Shou shine brightly, and the first gate represents the one star of Sansu, which is Fu. Could this second gate be a character for Lu?" Zhang Ruohan said.

Not long after, Shen Sui shook his head and said:

"The picture above should not look like text, but some kind of graphics."

"Or, let's put it together first. I can guess some of the corners of the picture. I guess it will come out after a few fiddles." Hu Tuo said.

"No, I don't dare to move it casually. If I can't make every step correctly, I'm afraid I will trigger the mechanism."

"What should I do?"

"You can only spell out the complete figure in your mind first, then consider the order of moving the metal pieces, and complete it step by step." Shen Sui said.

Hu Tuo scratched his head and scratched his head, he was very bad at such brain-struggling things.Shen Sui, together with Zhang Ruohan, fell into intense thinking.

"This picture is Ruyi." Zhang Ruohan said suddenly.

"Yes, it's Ruyi. The Ruyi in Lu Xing's hand." Shen Sui saw it at the same time, and immediately began to deduce the order of changing the grid.

"There are a total of eight movable grids... labels, the upper left corner is the first grid, the right is the second grid, the upper right corner is the third grid, another row, four five six, the bottom row, seven eight. Let's restore it in order, and you help me find the picture that belongs to the first grid."

Zhang Ruohan found it almost instantly: "This."

Shen Sui had quick eyes and quick hands, and reset the No. [-] grid extremely quickly, and then Zhang Ruohan looked for the picture for her, and she was responsible for restoring it. In the blink of an eye, a Ruyi was spelled out.

Then they heard a slight click, and the wooden door slowly bounced open.

The corner of Hu Tuo's mouth twitched, and he decided that he should not speak casually on matters such as solving puzzles in the future, because it would make him look stupid.

The second door opened, and Shen Sui walked in. According to the usual practice, she observed carefully, carefully tested, and after confirming that it was safe, she let Hu Tuo and Zhang Ruohan lead the camels and horses in.However, behind the second door, there is no attack mechanism. Instead, it is a huge square. At the end of the square, there is a nine-story pavilion embedded in the rock wall of the cave. An indescribable sense of oppression, in this dark underground world, looks eerie.

Such a magnificent pavilion, but because Shen Sui and others were in the blind spot just now, they didn't notice it until they opened the second door, and they saw this indescribable ghost building.The construction style of these nine-storey pavilions is not entirely Central Plains style, but a lot of architectural styles from the Western Regions are incorporated into it. The bowl-covered pagodas from Buddhism are different.

On the square outside the main gate of the pavilion, there is a spacious white marble road paved all the way to the second gate. On both sides of the road, there are a total of six giant statues with a height of three feet. The height may be compared with the height of the maze walls Not too much.Each of these six giant statues looks lifelike.None of them can tell the gender, they look like men and women, and they are dressed in strange costumes. The expressions on their faces may be fierce, ruthless, compassionate, or joyful.Each colossus has its own characteristics that symbolize its own identity.Some have wings on their backs, some have feet on raging waves, some are wrapped in rattan plants, some are surrounded by various animals, some hold loess in their hands, and some hold scrolls.They are arranged on both sides, in pairs, like stone beasts next to the Shinto in the royal mausoleum.

"Six Priests." Shen Sui said softly, "It seems that after walking this path that looks like a god, the main gate of the pavilion at the end should be the end of this maze."

They stepped on the Shinto path cautiously, and Kutuo looked at the giant statues beside him and murmured:

"As expected of the cult's general forum, it's really spectacular. It's just a pity that there are no people in this cult's general forum, and it lacks some popularity."

"Young crow's mouth." Shen Sui scolded him.Hutuo scratched the back of his head and patted himself on the mouth.

"Hu Tuo is right. Why is there no one in this cult's general altar?" Zhang Ruohan was also puzzled by this question.

"This main altar is originally a forbidden area. Most members of the cult are scattered outside. So what if they gather in this deserted place? Of course, preaching will develop more in places with many people. The main altar is only a symbolic place, maybe It would be good to hold a large-scale sacrificial event every year and gather some relatively high-level figures. But right now, most members of the cult have been arrested or are at large, and most of the forces that have penetrated into the Tang Dynasty have been destroyed. No one will show up. Besides, this place has already been used as a hunting ground by the pursuers behind us, if there are idlers here, it might be inappropriate." Shen Sui explained.

"Hunting ground..." is a good word. The man in black once said that the purpose of letting us enter this maze is to put us through a test. If we can get rid of the control of the drug and solve the maze, we will pass. I have never quite understood what this black-robed man said, but now it seems that there is something like a hunting ground in it." Zhang Ruohan said.

"It's not good, I'm afraid it has something to do with Luanhuang's bloodline." Shen Sui frowned.

While speaking, they had already passed through the Shinto way and came to the main gate of the pavilion.Seeing the door, Hutuo was dumbfounded again.But Shen Sui laughed out loud:

"Hahahaha...there is no limit to the road. As soon as I found the exit door, I found that the key was already in my pocket." As she spoke, she took out the maze model from the bag on her body.

Almost the entire door of the door in front of him is a giant organ.Wooden, hollowed out, you can see the intricate wooden gears in it.On the outside front, there are dozens of gaps, some of which are hexagonal, some of which are pentagonal, and the gaps are very deep. If you look closely, the inside should be inward in the shape of a pyramid, and there is a protrusion at the innermost bottom. , seems to be biting with something.

"Could it be that we want to insert all the hexagonal pyramids and pentagonal pyramids of this labyrinth model?" Kuta asked.

"That's right, and, according to the correct distribution, one of them should be inserted in a good way." Shen Sui said.

"what should I do now?"

"Didn't the answer be given to you a long time ago? Cang Chi is the benchmark, Cang is the heart of the seven constellations of the Qinglong, and Chi is the Sansuke of the seven constellations of the white tiger. For the rest, unfold the spherical surface according to the 28 constellations, and then you can carry out a complete analysis. Check it out." Zhang Ruohan said.

Hu Tuo wiped off his cold sweat and thought, "I'm afraid that even if I know the solution, I won't be able to solve it."

At this moment, Shen Sui was ready to insert the first pyramid representing the heart into the corresponding position, but she suddenly paused and hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Ruohan asked.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. There's a problem with the sequence. I have to confirm which one should be inserted first and in what order." She frowned.

"The six spirits are above, the heavens and the heavens?" Zhang Ruohan said suddenly. In the formula, the reminders of these two sentences have never been used.

"The order of the six spirits in the cult is heaven, earth, water, wood, beast, and human. Northwest, northeast. What kind of order is it?" She fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Annayi was leading the four people behind her through the first door. A short black figure beside her, dressed as an Japanese ninja, said:

"Water Priest, it seems that this Shen Sui is indeed as you imagined, she has already reached the final level. Whether the door can be opened or not depends on how smart she is."

"Hmph... That old woman gave her enough hints, she must be able to figure it out. She really took great pains to prevent us from seeing the clues. But in a short time, I will be able to see that person again, 20 years It's time to end your kindness and resentment." She said to the people behind her:

"You all be careful, that old woman is definitely not easy to get along with. I have been fighting her for more than ten years and I am still defeated. This is the last opportunity to turn the tables. You must seize it. Once the star gate opens, listen to me order."

All the people behind nodded, and the five black figures flashed and disappeared in place.

The author has something to say: Although I have to go to work this Saturday, there should be an update tomorrow, and the update will be as usual on Sunday.
