escape the nightmare

Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang agreed that this game was definitely not aimed at them specifically, so according to their speculation, the clues and hints must be very simple, at least not involving the knowledge blind spots of most people, such as ancient music theory knowledge.

Therefore, they resolutely gave up the behavior of digging into the horns of the content of the score.

Lin Feng wondered whether the symbols on the music scores would form some patterns or maps, and in this way hinted at the location of the things they were looking for.He stacked sheets of music on top of each other and turned around again.

But no matter how Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang reversed or flipped the score, they still didn't see why.

If the content of the score is not hinted, then the only possibility is the relationship between these scores.That's why Jiang Zhang took the two scores for comparison just now.He tried to start with the differences in the music scores as he did when he was looking for Yingyan's costumes.

But he obviously didn't get any results.

Whereas before they struggled to sort out the authentic costumes from hundreds of identical costumes, now they're struggling to find connections among dozens of musical scores that bear no resemblance at all.

It really is... Feng Shui turns.

Lin Feng couldn't help smiling wryly.

The contents of each score are different, and the corners of the scores are written with serial numbers in traditional characters.Jiang Zhang quickly began to organize the music scores according to the number and line them up on the ground.

Lin Feng used his hands to cover his ears. He knew he couldn't help much, so he squatted aside and studied Jiangzhang's arranged score from the beginning.

He tried his best to recall the music scores described in "June [-]".But after holding back for a long time, he found that he only had a slight impression of the literary fragments in the book about how beautiful the music was and how intoxicated everyone listened to it. He didn't think there was any music theory knowledge mentioned in the book at all.

"Singing behind closed doors...High mountains and flowing water...Gongjiao...Gongjiao what kind of feather..." Lin Feng chanted words to the music score, trying to dig out some valuable things in the corners of memory through fragmentary thoughts.

"Gongshangjiao Zhengyu." Jiang Zhang couldn't bear to see Lin Feng's constant tangle while thinking about it, and reminded him in his ear.

Lin Feng didn't hear what Qing Jiangzhang said, he subconsciously let go of his hands covering his ears and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said it's called Gongshangjiao Zhengyu." Jiang Zhang raised his volume a little and lowered his voice.

"No, I clearly remember four words," Lin Feng retorted, "I remembered, it should be Masayoshi Gongjiao."

"Gongshangjiao Zhengyu." Jiang Zhang corrected again with certainty, and gave Lin Feng a simple science, "Gongshangjiao Zhengyu is the five major temperaments in ancient times."

Although Lin Feng doesn't know what the rhythm is, but he is sure that there is absolutely no word "Shang" in the book. He may remember something else wrong, but the word "Zheng" in this idiom is too conspicuous, and he can't read it. I remember it very well.

and many more……

Jiang Zhang and Lin Feng were suddenly silent for a while, and then they turned their heads to look at each other.They understood from each other's eyes that the other party obviously thought of something with themselves.

Jiang Zhang immediately divided the score into two sides, and he and Lin Feng were responsible for checking one side.According to the new idea just thought of, they changed a comparative angle and started to examine the score in front of them again.

After they read the score again, Jiang Zhang suddenly laughed.

Jiang Zhang: "You are right, there really is no 'business'."

Lin Feng couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth.

They fell into a misunderstanding of thinking inertia before.Since the content on each score is different, they initially thought that they were looking for similarities between the scores, but ignored the scores themselves.In fact, so many sheets of music are not for them to find connections, but to constantly emphasize to them the special features of each sheet of sheet music-there are always one or two words next to each sheet of sheet music that are not symbolic.After confirming each score, they found that the words without music symbols appeared in some specific repetitions.

If symbols are similar to musical notes, then it means that these characters have no vocals.

As expected by the two of them, the sound "Shang" is the only thing missing in this whole set of scores.

Lin Feng couldn't help sighing that the hints given by "June [-]" this time were a bit too cryptic. A person like him who doesn't know anything about Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu can't figure out the problem even if he wants to think about it.

But what does the absence of Shangyin represent?They still don't know what they're looking for.

After a short period of joy, Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang fell into deep thought again.

What could be hidden in Baiyin Pagoda related to Yingyan's costume?

Jiang Zhang looked at the palace people who were still playing music in rotation, the huge ancient bronze bells made crisp or low sounds one after another under the impact of the ghosts.Although Jiang Zhang didn't know the rhythm, he could still hear that different bells made different music sounds after being hit.

He suddenly had a guess.

If each ancient bronze bell represents a kind of music, then there should be bells representing the five kinds of music in Gongshangjiao Zhengyu.No, to be precise, it should be four, because the sound of "Shang" is not present in this piece of music.

Jiang Zhang counted the number of ancient clocks in each row—five in all.He frowned tightly, which was different from his speculation.

It stands to reason that there should only be four, why is there one more?

And the most important thing is that there are all kinds of musical instruments up and down in Baiyin Tower, and the top floor is already filled with chime bells. Obviously there is no place to hide things. At a glance, there is nothing that can be compared with Yingyan Costumes are related to things.

A series of questions, big and small, came out of Jiangzhang's mind. He didn't think there was a problem with their reasoning about the lack of sound. The problem should lie in the extra ancient clock.

Something should be hidden in the ancient clock.But what kind of thing can be hidden in a clock, and how is it hidden?

Jiang Zhang always felt that the answer was just a little short, and the answer was almost ready.

When Lin Feng saw Jiang Zhang staring at the ancient clock in a daze, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that Jiang Zhang was bewitched by the bell just like him.He hastily bumped Jiangzhang with his elbow.

Jiangzhang was hit by Lin Feng in this way, and the clues that were about to be cleared up were mixed together in an instant.He angrily followed Lin Feng's example and gave Lin Feng a supercilious look.

Lin Feng knew that he seemed to have done something wrong, so he shrugged in embarrassment: "I'm just worried about you..."

After Jiang Zhang took a deep breath, he also knew that Lin Feng had good intentions, so he didn't say anything.He conveyed the possibility that he thought of just now to Lin Feng with gestures, to see if he could have any other ideas.

"Something that can be hidden in an ancient clock?"

Lin Feng looked in the direction that Jiangzhang just looked at, and the rows of ancient clocks drove the pendulum after being struck, and the pendulum hit the wall of the ancient clock one by one according to the rhythm.The huge pendulum swings awkwardly, and a red ribbon is hung under the pendulum as if for celebration.

When Lin Feng saw the pendulum hitting left and right, he suddenly remembered a passage from "Six One Three":

"Empress Yan is good at dancing and is proficient in rhythm. She built a jade bell on the occasion of Emperor Jiacheng's birthday..."

Jade Bell...

"It's jade pendant!"

Lin Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he pulled Jiang Zhang's sleeve excitedly.

If there's anything you can hide in a clock, it's a small, handy hanging item.Combined with the hints in "June [-]", jade pendant is indeed the best answer.

Jiang Zhang was dragged by Lin Feng, and was slightly taken aback when he heard the word "Jade Pei".He quickly combined all the clues in his head, and then gave Lin Feng an appreciative look.

What Lin Feng said was right, it was the jade pendant.

If the jade pendant was what they were looking for, and now they were clear that it was hidden in this row of ancient clocks, then Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang's goal now was very clear - to find the ancient clock with the jade pendant hidden.

Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang briefly exchanged ideas. Jiang Zhang had a slight impression of the tune sung by the evil spirit Yingyan, and he found that the music played by the ghosts was coming to an end.If you want to find the different ancient clock, you must hurry up and find it before the music stops.Otherwise, with their strength, there is absolutely no way to ring these ancient bells. According to estimates, the evil spirit Yingyan should have reached the bottom of the tower by now. Once the evil spirit Yingyan enters the tower, it is really difficult for them to spread their wings flew.

Based on the detours they made again and again before, this time Lin Feng and Jiang Zhang have figured out a little trick.Since there is no shortage of ancient clocks that emit Shang sounds, it means that the jade pendant is hidden in this ancient clock.If the whole piece of music does not require Shang Yin, then the palace people will naturally not use this ancient clock when playing music.

——As long as you find the ancient clock that has not been struck by the palace people, it will be fine!

Just when they realized the key to the clue, the ghosts struck the last note of the whole piece.The tune came to an abrupt end amidst the soul-stirring, leaving only the lingering sound echoing in the tower, which gradually faded away with the dark wind.

Oops!They just wasted too much time.

Lin Feng saw the ghosts leaving the top of the tower again, and he wished he could step forward and snatch them back one by one. Fortunately, Jiang Zhang grabbed him in time to prevent him from getting angry.

Right now, it is impossible to observe which ancient clocks the palace people avoid and do not strike. Lin Feng felt annoyed like never before.He now has a feeling that he finally came up with the answer during the exam, but found that he had no pen to write on.

After the bells were gone, the thrilling opera sound of the evil spirit Yingyan sounded seamlessly.

Jiang Zhang took a deep breath.They don't have time to wait for the next time the ghosts come to ring the bell, and they have to find the one that hasn't been struck on their own.

...a bell that has not been struck?

Yes, the bell that makes the Shang sound has never been struck!

Jiang Zhang looked around. Since all the ghosts had dispersed, they could walk to the center of the tower temporarily and observe each row of ancient clocks up close.

"Quickly, find the one that looks brand new and has the fewest knock marks." Jiang Zhang ordered Lin Feng, and rushed to the group of ancient clocks decisively, checking them one by one.

Sure enough, obvious impact marks were left on each of the clocks.

Lin Feng was touched by Jiang Zhang, and he reacted instantly. He also jumped up immediately and strode forward. Starting from the opposite direction of Jiang Zhang, the two of them shuttled between the ancient clocks together, and their eyes swept over quickly. Each row of ancient clocks.

Soon, Lin Feng stopped in front of a very inconspicuous bronze ancient clock that was almost completely blocked by other ancient clocks.He touched the smooth clock face with his hand, and the clock face was very new, even the outermost layer of paint had no trace of fading.

He crouched down and put his head inside the bell.

In the darkness, a crystal clear jade pendant adorned with the same style of tassels as on the cloud shoulders of Yingyan's costume appeared in his eyes.
