"Zhou Cang, do you mean that if we want to turn off the mechanism in the corridor, the key lies in this night-light pearl on our head?" Fake Chen Mo said.
"Yes, Chen Mo, it's just that the Luminous Pearl is so tall and must be embedded in the wall, so it's not easy for us to take it off." I said, looking up at the bead above my head.
This first site is:
"If this night pearl is really a mechanism, then I think if you want to take it off, you probably won't have to use brute force, so I think I still have to look for anything special inside the lampshade." Fake Chen Mo said.
"Then let's look around." I said, and started walking around this small space of about 60 square meters.
Of course, fake Chen Mo also started to look around.
I don’t know why, but after realizing that Chen Mo was probably fake, I would always automatically observe his every move without even realizing it.
However, the behavior of the person in front of me who I considered fake was really no different from Chen Mo.
Even the form when they are concentrating on thinking is exactly the same.
Could it be that I thought wrong?
I couldn't help but doubt myself a little bit again.
"Zhou Cang, you seem to be absent-minded all the time."
When I heard Chen Mo say this, I realized that he was also staring at me at some point.
,
"Did you find something?"
I discovered something. His words were pun-intended, which actually shocked my heart.
I cursed myself in my heart that it was useless, this fake person was him, why should I be shaking?
"Oh, it's nothing. You know, I always let myself go without realizing it. It's a bad habit I've had since college." I said.
After hearing what I said, Chen Mo didn't speak, and still stared at me.
His eyes were a bit sharp, which made me suddenly feel uncomfortable all over.
"Why do you keep staring at me?" I finally couldn't hold it back and spoke.
However, Chen Mo ignored me. His eyes suddenly lit up, and then he slowly approached me.
Just when the heart in my chest began to beat faster, Chen Mo brushed past me and walked behind me.
I saw him lying on the edge of the fish's mouth, and then said quickly: "Zhou Cang, the water has been rising slowly."
This first site is:
When I heard what he said to me, I turned around hastily.
Sure enough, the water had risen and was already on the verge of covering the fish's mouth.
"When I just pulled you up, the water was still under the fish's eyes. Why did the water already overflow in the time we talked?"
Looking at the puddle of water under our feet, I started to feel a little panicked.
"Don't panic, let's search quickly to see if we can remove the luminous pearl on the top." Chen Mo said and began to search around.
I didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, my eyes rolled around inside the lampshade.
Unfortunately, the two of us searched around, almost prying out the bricks on the wall, but found nothing.
"Chen Mo, what should I do? The water is overflowing very quickly." I looked at the water that had covered the soles of my feet and said, "At this rate, the entire space will be filled with water in less than an hour.
"
"There must be a way, Zhou Cang. At this time, we should not panic. Let's calm down first, calm down first." Chen Mo comforted me and said.
However, I could still hear an element of uneasiness in his tone.
,.
"There is nothing inside this lampshade except the fish mouth and the luminous pearl on top of us. Where can I find any mechanism?" I said a little discouraged.
"Zhou Cang, what did you just say? Say it again." Chen Mo's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at me in surprise and asked.
I just complained casually, but when he asked me such a serious question, I suddenly felt a little stressed.
Because from Chen Mo's expression, he should have heard some clues from my sentence, so when I repeat it now, I am afraid that I will miss some key words in it.
"I just said that there are only fish mouths and luminous pearls in this lampshade, and nothing else. Where can I find the mechanism?" I repeated this sentence a bit slowly, thinking that I should complete the meaning of the previous sentence.
expressed.
After Chen Mo listened, he didn't express any opinions, and then stood next to the fish's mouth, looking up at the luminous pearl above.
"Chen Mo, what's wrong? What are you doing?" I looked at Chen Mo, then looked up at the bead on the top, and said.
"Zhou Cang, look, the one above seems to be a caisson design." Chen Mo said.
"What a caisson? Why did I just see the Night Pearl?" I said this, and then I didn't forget to lower my head and take a look at the water under my feet that had risen to my ankles.
"If you follow the luminous pearl and look at the four corners, are there four lines extending from the luminous pearl to the four legs?" Chen Mo said.
After I concentrated on it for a while, I realized that this was indeed the case.
"Chen Mo, there is indeed such a cross star pattern, but does this pattern have any special meaning?" I said.
"Zhou Cang, when we were in the Hexagonal Hall, one of the patterns formed by the piled stones on the floor was parison wood. At that time, we found the direction of the exit of the hall from the correspondence between the star parison wood and the twelve zodiac signs.
"Chen Mo said.
"Chen Mo, do you mean that the cross star pattern is also a star?" I asked a little excitedly.
"Yes, the cross star corresponds to the star age," Chen Mo said. "In order to explain the movements of the sun, moon and five stars and the changes in solar terms, ancient Chinese astronomers divided the week near the equator into ten periods from west to east.
Divided into two equal parts, they are called the twelve stars. Astrologers also combine the twelve stars with the twelve zodiac signs.
Matchingly, the pattern called split wood that we encountered in the hall actually represents the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, which is ranked at the end of the twelve stars, and the star period in front of us is ranked
At the front of the twelve stars, one behind the other, they coincide with the head and tail of the big stone fish." Chen Mo said.
"Which direction does the star era correspond to?" I asked.
"The Star Ji represents November, Rat, and the southeast." Chen Mo said.
After hearing this, I already understood.
The mechanism at the exit of the hall is in the northeast, and the mechanism here is in the southeast. They correspond to each other and are in line with Chinese aesthetic standards.
So, I took one step ahead of Chen Mo and walked to the southeast wall.
,
Chen Mo also walked over behind me.
"Chen Mo, I have touched the bricks and stones here before, and there seems to be nothing unusual." I said.
"Zhou Cang, I think it may not be enough to just rely on the star map to determine the direction. We also need to combine the light of the night pearl." Chen Mo said.
"It's just that when the light from this luminous pearl shines down, we can't even see a shadow. How can we judge it by combining it with the luminous pearl?"
"I don't know yet. Let's observe it first." Chen Mo said.
"Yeah." I nodded, not forgetting to glance worriedly at the water under my feet that was almost up to my knees.
The moment I lowered my head to look at the water on the ground, I suddenly discovered that the fish eyes above the fish's mouth seemed to be hollow.
Could it be?
An idea suddenly flashed through my mind, and I walked quickly to the fish eye.
