According to the arrangement, Shen Xingyao and Xiaojiu went to find the character "Li" corresponding to the Tian grid, while A Xiu and Wei Zhaoshan went to find the character "Gu" corresponding to the Di grid.
As for Lin Tongxi and Su Ruoxue, they were looking for the word "emotion" that corresponds to their personality.
After having a basic idea of the task, the three groups went to look for the corresponding places separately.
Shen Xingyao and Xiaojiu went to the observatory and found a place with a Bagua pattern.
In the center of the observatory is a Tai Chi diagram of yin and yang fish, one white and one black.
The Yin-Yang fish is surrounded by eight trigrams, namely Qian (), Kan (), Gen (), Zhen (), Xun (), Li (), Kun (), and Dui ().
Shen Xingyao was secretly delighted when she saw the familiar pattern.
With the gossip, her guess might be in the right direction.
She came to the top of the Yin-Yang fish and looked at the ground.
Upon taking a look, Shen Xingyao discovered that there was a bulge here, and then she tried to step on it with her foot.
One foot wasn't strong enough, so Shen Xingyao used both feet.
As a result, there was movement in a pavilion near the observatory.
Xiaojiu noticed the change. There was a box above the pavilion for no reason!
With the help of the mechanism, the box they were looking for finally appeared on the pavilion.
"It seems this is what we are looking for, but we still have to go up and get it." Shen Xingyao looked over, thinking about the best way to get up.
As a result, Xiaojiu used the big tree next to him to quickly climb to the top of the pavilion and take down the wooden box.
"Xiaojiu...you...forget it, just get the things." Shen Xingyao originally wanted to say that this was very dangerous, but she didn't want to dampen the other party's enthusiasm.
"Sister Xingyao, I know what you want to say. It's indeed a bit dangerous, but I have the confidence to climb up." Xiaojiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't joke with my life."
"Oh, by the way... Young Master, there should be no problem in opening this wooden box, right?" Xiao Jiu looked at the boy who was a few years younger than him.
"You can open it." The boy nodded.
Xiaojiu opened the wooden box and found a note and a wooden sculpture hidden inside.
The word "li" was written on the note, which proved that the word they guessed was indeed correct.
As for the wood carving, it corresponds exactly to the content of the riddle: a pair of wild geese flying in different directions.
The handwriting on the note is very beautiful, and the wood carving is very delicate.
"It seems this is what we are looking for." Xiaojiu snapped his fingers, which he learned from Lin Tongxi.
"Well, let's give this box to Miss Qian'er, and then go help others." After Shen Xingyao finished speaking, she returned to Yuliu Pavilion with Xiaojiu.
Qian'er was also surprised to see the two of them holding a box containing wooden carvings.
The word "雁分飞" is extremely difficult to guess, and many people who took the test failed because of it.
Qian'er didn't expect that they not only found it, but also did it so quickly.
"Congratulations, you two have found one of the talents." Qian'er affirmed their achievements.
Shen Xingyao and Xiaojiu both showed joy, and then Shen Xingyao contacted Lin Tongxi through [Remote Communication].
"Ah? You found it so quickly... You're worthy of being Xingyao." Lin Tongxi praised Shen Xingyao's performance.
Somehow, Lin Tongxi felt that Shen Xingyao seemed to have a buff, as if the goddess of luck was blessing her.
Of course, it is also possible that the mysterious arts that Shen Xingyao learned helped her avoid danger and seek good fortune.
"Go and help Ah Xiu and the others look for it first. They're quite far away." Lin Tongxi asked the two of them to help another group.
Compared with himself and Shen Xingyao's group, Ah Xiu and Wei Zhaoshan seemed relatively ordinary.
Shen Xingyao has the help of mysterious arts, while Lin Tongxi himself is the spirit of the system.
After several version upgrades, plus the influence of [Physical Strengthening], Lin Tongxi felt that his thinking speed and perception ability had been greatly enhanced.
In addition, he also has the skill [Deepening Thinking], which can further enhance his thinking speed.
Based on this, Lin Tongxi asked Shen Xingyao and the others to help the more ordinary group first.
Among the place names given by the children, A Xiu and Wei Zhaoshan came to Bailingpu, where Minghe Academy grows crops.
The area here is so huge that if we search blindly like this... I'm afraid we won't be able to find it even if the seas dry up and the rocks crumble.
"Young man, this place should be divided into several areas, right? For example, what is planted here and what is planted there..." A Xiu asked.
The reason why A Xiu asked this question was mainly because she saw different crops planted in several areas.
"Well, medicinal herbs are planted over here, and grains are planted over there..." the child introduced the locations.
Ah Xiu caught the key words and asked the children to lead the way to one of the places: "Please take us to where the grains are grown."
The child nodded, then led them to the place where the grains were planted. He pointed to the fields below and said, "This is where the grains are planted."
Ah Xiu looked at the fields below and felt that they were very neat and tidy, which was obviously done by humans.
The fields were divided into nine large sections by the sunken roads, and except for the larger one in the middle, the other eight sections were almost equal in size, making it hard not to notice.
"Young man, is there any special reason for dividing it into nine pieces?" Ah Xiu continued to ask.
The child took out a piece of candy, unwrapped it, and put the candy in his mouth before explaining.
"These eight plots are the private fields of the eight elders, used to encourage the elders and their disciples to plant crops."
"The piece in the middle is the public field. All elders and disciples must take turns to cultivate it."
"The grain produced from these public fields is used to supply the food of the academy, while the private fields are for the elders to use as they please, and they can sell or store them."
