Journey of a Thousand Miles

"No." Everyone responded.

"Okay, let's go." Lonely Chenghui, the group leader, gave an order, and the four groups dispersed.

The four groups are a combination of long-range and close combat. In terms of route allocation, Lu Nana actually tried her best to take into account the characteristics of each character's skills and elemental attributes. However, these experiences are all from the internal test period, and it is not long since now. In short, Lu Nana is not very sure about the effect.

Even so, Wu Jiu and Qian Li were still impressed by her rigorous planning and careful arrangement.In the team that sweeps the world, if loneliness into ashes is their spiritual leader, then Lu Nana is undoubtedly their tactical leader.

On Line 2, Wujiu is in front and Lu Nana is behind. Wujiu was looking at the blueprints in his hand carefully while probing the side of the road. Suddenly, his footsteps stopped, which shocked Lu Nana who was following behind, " What's wrong?"

"there's noise."

The evening wind blew across the large osmanthus forest, causing waves and waves of rustling. In this quiet noise, the two stayed in place, listening intently. In the vagueness, there was a light but rhythmic boom , Dong sound from hazy to clear.

"It's changed..." Lu Nana frowned slightly, "During the closed beta, there were no mobs here."

"How is it now?" Wu Jiu looked at her, "Hit?"

"No," Lu Nana hurriedly stopped him, "Hide first and check the situation, it's best if you don't get discovered." Saying that, she tiptoed behind a laurel tree.

Wu Jiu hid on the other side, facing her left and right, the sound of dong, dong was getting closer and closer, finally, the two tried their best to see clearly, it was a wooden man with slow movements, even crooked, walking step by step. In the osmanthus forest.

The two held their breaths and remained motionless. After waiting for what seemed like centuries, the wooden man finally drifted away until he disappeared.

Lu Nana breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that the difficulty has increased. In the past, as long as the mechanism was not triggered in this area, there would not be any mobs."

"Wouldn't that be very convenient?" Wu Jiu said.Ignore all organs and go straight to the end.

"No..." Lu Nana shook her head, "To reach the location of the BOSS, certain mechanisms must be unlocked correctly." The blueprints she made marked exactly those mechanisms that had to be cracked.As for the ones that cannot be touched, she also put a corresponding warning signal on them.

Therefore, this dungeon, as far as they know, has never seen a team that can pass the level at one time.Not to mention the BOSS, just in the link of the organ, everyone does not know how many times they have been heroic.The experience they have accumulated is exchanged with blood every time, which is not an exaggeration.

"I hope the changes in those organs won't be too outrageous..." Lu Nana couldn't help but worry.The route 2 that she and Wu Jiu are in charge of is okay, she has enough confidence in her own judgment and Wu Jiu's fighting ability, but the other groups...

Thousands of miles and loneliness turn into ashes here.

The two moved forward at full speed, did not encounter any mobs, and soon arrived at the first mechanism - a small gazebo.

Qianli stepped into the gazebo without any hesitation, scanned it briefly, and immediately found something, "Hey, there is a chessboard here."

In the middle of the gazebo, there is a round stone table with four stone benches standing around it. On the table, there is a chessboard lying quietly, with black and white flags dotted all over the place, which can be recognized even if you don’t know how to play it—it’s Go.

Lonely ashes also came over, "It's chess..."

Qianli elbowed him, "How do you break it?"

"How do I understand." Lonely Chenghui said.

"I'll go - don't you guys have experience?!"

"Well, you don't know yet? The moon palace only fixes the position of the mechanism, and the content of the mechanism is different every time." The loneliness turned into ashes and spread his hands.

"Damn it, do you mean we have to fight it by ourselves?" Qianli asked.

"That's what it means." Lonely Chenghui nodded.

"Okay," Qianli accepted the reality immediately, "but let me state first, I don't know anything about Go. This...you can figure it out."

"What a coincidence, I'm the same as you." Lonely Chenghui said, without waiting for Qianli to complain, he continued, "But the good news is that the solutions to these organs generally have ready-made answers."

"Huh? Where's the answer?"

Lonely ashes glanced at him, "Look for it."

The two immediately turned the gazebo inside and out.

Some clues are quite obvious, such as the poems on the four stone pillars of the gazebo.

Remotely recognize Wei Wei into the fire.

Twelfth Street is like a vegetable bed.

Hundreds of families are like a game of Go.

A constellation with five gates west.

"What do you mean?" After Qianli read it once, he didn't know why.

"I don't understand." Lonely Chenghui touched his chin and shook his head, "But there are a few numbers in it—"

"12? 15?" Qianli thought for a while, "Could it be the coordinates?"

The two looked at each other, and immediately rushed to the chessboard.

"Is this mechanism really so mentally handicapped?" Qianli looked at the chessboard and asked uncertainly.

"Retarded bastard," said Lonely Ash angrily, "We haven't figured out whether it's 12, 15 or 15, 12 yet."

"That's right." Qianli Yi hammered his palm.They have never seen those four lines of poetry, so they don't know which line to read from. So which one comes first, 12 and 15, is really a problem.

"It's fine if you don't try." Qianli said.

"No!" Lonely Chenghui resolutely vetoed, "If the trap is accidentally triggered, who knows what will come out, even if we can handle it, we can't afford to waste this time."

"Hmm..." Qianli murmured, they were going to grab the first kill now, and every second counted, otherwise they wouldn't need to be so cautious.Of course, solving the mechanism is not as simple and straightforward as fighting monsters, but the elite mobs in the dungeon are not easy to deal with.

"Look again, there must be other hints." Lonely Chenghui said.

"Okay." Qianli walked around the gazebo a few more times, looking up from time to time, and suddenly stopped.

"What?" Lonely ashes looked at him.

Qianli didn't answer, but stepped back a certain distance, then started running, jumped up when approaching the gazebo, turned over and jumped to the top of the gazebo.

Lonely ashes stared blankly for a moment, this guy... has such a strong jumping ability, how much agility does he have?

Qianli bent down to take a closer look, and saw that the rows of tiles were covered with a lot of thatch debris in a mess. Qianli kicked it casually, but found nothing. He was so anxious that he was so lonely that he kept asking, and Qianli finally explained the situation. .

"Thatch?" Lonely ashes paused, thinking of something, "Aren't you a fire attribute, set it on fire."

"Okay." Qianli responded, and sang a wall of fire, where the wall of fire fell, the thatch was all ablaze, and the fire spread quickly, and within a short while, the top of the gazebo was burned into a small sea of ​​flames .When the flames were gradually extinguished, Qianli's eyes lit up, "Hey, there's something!"

"What?" Lonely ashes looked up.

"The words southeast and northwest."

"North, south, east, and west?" Now she was so lonely and stunned.

"But here is not in order, it is... east, north, south, west." Qianli said again.

"Could it be the order of the verses?" Lonely ashes said.

"It makes sense—" Qianli poked his head out, "Go and check it out."

So after rearranging, the original poem is as follows:

Hundreds of houses are like a game of Go, and Twelfth Street is like a vegetable garden.The remote recognition slightly enters the Chaohuo, one star and five gates west.

"Well, it's easier to read now." Lonely ashes nodded.

The two of them didn't know, but in fact this poem was "Climbing the Guanyin Tower and Looking at the City" written by Bai Juyi. It is not very popular, so most people may not have heard of it.If you have an impression of this poem, you don't need to look for other clues to know the correct order... But LDM didn't do it anyway, and left a way for players who are not very accomplished in this area.

"That's 12, 15." Qianli said, walked to the chessboard, and quickly found the position according to the coordinates.

"Then what...?" Lonely Cheng Hui asked, watching from the side.

The two stared at each other again.

"Should the next child be here?" Qianli said.

"It's very possible, but is it black or white?" Lonely Chenghui said.

The problem is coming again.

"Stupid, you'll know if you count it," Qianli said in a hurry, "Come on, you count the black ones, and I count the white ones."

Feeling ashamed from loneliness, he never thought of this move.

The last step was finally over, and the result was that it was Bai's turn. The two solemnly picked up a white piece and gently placed it in the 12 and 15 positions.

There was a burst of white light on the chessboard, and then there was a crackling sound, the chessboard suddenly sank, and then a stone board protruded from each side of the square gap, and they were connected together with a bang, sealing the disappearing position of the chessboard. Leave a gap, as if there has never been anything here.At the same time, the poems on the four stone pillars also quickly disappeared.

Qianli looked around, "Is this... the end?"

"It's over." No matter how lonely it is, I have experienced it, and I have seen the strangeness, and I didn't turn my head back, "Hurry up."

For the time being, all four groups are moving forward one by one over obstacles.

Wujiu and Lu Nana.

After meeting the first mob, the two became more cautious. After that, nothing happened, and they quickly solved the three traps one after another.Both of them are relatively stable people in their respective teams, and they are quite efficient when working together.

I saw the next organ again, this time it was a small empty attic with a Guqin standing quietly in the middle.

"Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting..." Wu Jiu was thoughtful.

"Well, most of the organs in the Moon Palace are puzzles based on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which fully implement the ancient style." Lu Nana said.

The two of them talked, walked into the attic, and reconfirmed that there was really nothing else here except this guqin.After searching around, the two looked at each other helplessly.

Instead, there are two lines of poems engraved on the left and right sides of the door, and the two of them noticed as soon as they entered the door——
