Before the end of the second level, several people successfully handed the Liu Yao cards to Qian'er.
"Well, you are worthy of my admiration, you can actually pass this second level." Although Qian'er had a veil on her face, everyone could feel from the tone of her voice that she was no longer as aloof as before.
"Leave the token and the six-yao cards to me for safekeeping. Wait here before the hour of Xu." After Qian'er took the token, she went into the attic and reported the performance of the six people to Mr. Qingli.
After dinner, the six people continued to go to Yuliu Pavilion in advance to wait.
As soon as the hour of Xu arrived, Qian'er brought people out and guided them to a garden.
"This place is called the Nine Palaces Formation. It is a maze built with the master's wisdom."
"This third level is called Passing the Nine Palaces. The condition for passing is very simple: exit the maze within the specified time."
"If you want to pass through the maze, you must bring these nine things. They are the tokens and the six-yao tiles I asked you to search for during the day."
"You need to put these nine things in their corresponding positions. If you make the wrong choice, you will need to choose one person to exit the level, otherwise you cannot continue."
"If everyone exits the level, or if they fail to exit within the allotted time, they will be considered to have failed the level."
"So... Mr. Qing can only conclude that the six of you are not destined to be with him. Even though he admires you, he can only refuse to meet you."
"You are the only ones who can reach the third level. Sir, I hope you can successfully pass this level."
"Okay, please come in."
Qian'er rarely made a gesture of invitation, allowing the six people to enter the maze.
Although it is a maze, Lin Tongxi feels that this Nine Palaces Formation is no different from an ordinary garden.
There were bursts of fragrant aroma coming from the garden. If Qian'er hadn't specifically pointed it out, Lin Tongxi wouldn't have thought it was a maze.
The first thing everyone discovered was that there were two doors inside this space.
One was where they had just entered and was now closed.
The other door was also closed. No matter how hard Wei Zhaoshan pushed, it didn't move at all.
"Okay, let's take a look around first to see if there are any mechanisms or something." Lin Tongxi made arrangements.
The six people searched separately and found nine stone lamps in the maze, with the nine characters Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Zhong, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui written on them.
There was also a depression inside the stone lamp. Shen Xingyao knocked it carefully and found that it was empty underneath.
"It seems that this is the mechanism we are looking for, and we should place the nine things in it." Shen Xingyao deduced.
"But...how should I put it?" Shen Xingyao was puzzled. Since the other party mentioned the punishment for putting it in the wrong place, it meant that there must be an order.
These nine stone lamps should correspond to these nine things, namely heaven, earth, man and one of the six lines.
With what Shen Xingyao had learned, it was not difficult to find the corresponding placement, but she just couldn't determine the location.
Shen Xingyao looked upwards and found that the Big Dipper was no longer visible.
"Oh no... The weather is gloomy tonight and we can't find Beichen. This makes it difficult to determine our direction." Shen Xingyao sighed after she finished speaking.
Direction? Lin Tongxi glanced at his phone and the Dingxingshu in his hand, both of which had compass functions.
"Xingyao, the Star-fixing Hub in my hand can determine the east, south, west and north." Lin Tongxi said, and began to use the Star-fixing Hub to measure the direction.
After confirming the direction, Shen Xingyao took out a piece of paper and pen and began to draw the Nine Palaces on the ground:
Xun (southeast), Li (due south), Kun (southwest)
Zhen (due east), Zhong (center), Dui (due west)
Gen (northeast), Kan (due north), Gan (northwest)
After determining the Nine Palaces, you need to find the nine items corresponding to these Nine Palaces.
Where should heaven, earth and man be placed?
Qian represents heaven and Kun represents earth, which correspond to wood carvings and grain seeds respectively.
Kan symbolizes wisdom, or is related to people...Tentatively, it is decided to place the sachet.
What does the first line correspond to?
Perhaps it's the first line? Although the wind is weak, it causes changes in all things.
Zhen is Yang Wood, symbolizing growth, which is consistent with the idea of silent development of the latent dragon.
Xun is also wood, but it is Yin wood, symbolizing wind.
At this time, a breeze blew, and the petals and leaves fluttered with it.
Wind means flow, which corresponds exactly to the development of the second line.
The third line represents diligence, perhaps laying the foundation? This stage requires acquiring a wide range of knowledge...
In this case, it may correspond to the central palace that can accommodate everything.
The fourth line represents change, and Dui represents metal, and the two correspond exactly.
The fifth line is the peak, and Li represents fire, so the two seem to correspond to each other.
Liu Yao represents the end, and Gen represents a mountain, both of which imply stillness.
Due to limited time, Shen Xingyao roughly sorted the items:
Second Yao (Southeast), Fifth Yao (Due South), Grain (Southwest)
First Yao (due east), Third Yao (center), Fourth Yao (due west)
Liu Yao (northeast), sachet (due north), wood carving (northwest)
After sorting, everyone first placed the three-yao tiles on the nearest central stone lamp.
After placing the items, the ground of the stone lamp suddenly loosened and slowly fell down.
"...Mr. Qingli is really proficient in mechanisms." Lin Tongxi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the descending stone lantern.
At this moment, a door in the maze opened, it was the door that everyone had just entered.
"Sorry, some of you made the wrong choice. We need to ask one of you to leave." Qian'er brought bad news.
"What...how could this be..." Shen Xingyao doubted her own knowledge. What went wrong?
That shouldn't be the case... Shouldn't the third line correspond to the center? Or is there a certain order?
