"Master, although I haven't gone up to see what the lamp looks like, from the outside of the lamp shell, it seems that the lamp is not symmetrical, right?" Elder Yang heard the young master say that the lamp was also symmetrical, so he turned it upwards. I looked at the spiritual lantern for a long time.
But in his opinion, although the spiritual lamp had eight directions, he couldn't look too carefully, but through the holes on the four sides of the huge lamp shell, he could clearly see the appearance of the spiritual lamp.
He deliberately stared at the two opposite sides carefully, and then changed to another opposite side. He found that although these sides seemed very similar, they were still different.
"Do you see the difference?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Master, look at these two opposite sides first. They are just to the left of the center. They are exactly opposite to the engraving on the other side.
Then you look at the engraving on the right side of the center of this side, and then look at the side opposite to it. The engraving is also opposite. "Elder Yang led the young master to point to the different places and said.
"Master, it's true, these spiritual lanterns are not symmetrical!" Elder Feng looked at what Elder Yang pointed at, and then compared the two sides, he found that the spiritual lanterns were indeed not symmetrical.
"If this is the case, then we can only try one by one as before. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether the spiritual lamp itself is symmetrical or not, as long as it is symmetrical with the spiritual lamp opposite!" Cheng Yu also carefully After some comparison, I found that what Elder Yang said was indeed correct.
Although the carvings on the two opposite faces are very similar, there are actually some differences. I don’t know if there are more differences. But just this little difference pointed out by Elder Yang is enough to prove that this spiritual lamp It is indeed not symmetrical per se.
In this way, it was originally possible to only try the correspondence of four faces, but now it is necessary to correspond to each face.
"Master, are you sure this is the way to open secret mechanisms in other places?" Elder Feng saw that he had to try all eight directions of each spiritual lamp again, and the previous excitement suddenly disappeared again.
If this is the case, then everything you have done before will be in vain?
"I can only say that it is possible. If I am certain, it is naturally impossible. After all, there are various possibilities for this kind of thing!" Cheng Yu shook his head and said.
After all, this palace is so huge, but there are only so many things in it.
Moreover, let’s not say whether the spiritual lamps he turned before were correct, but at least he did trigger some mechanisms after turning the spiritual lamps.
So from this point alone, it can be seen that the mechanisms in this palace are based on these spiritual lamps.
The biggest problem now is that there are nearly a hundred spiritual lanterns in this palace, and each spiritual lantern has eight sides, and even each side is different.
If you want to combine these spiritual lanterns, there are really too many possibilities. It is estimated that they may not be able to sort them all out even if they stay here for a year.
So they can only observe and study carefully to find out which method is most likely.
If the directions of these spiritual lamps were regular, everything would be much easier. But so many spiritual lamps are actually irregular, which would be really troublesome.
And judging from the current situation, they can only find these regular arrangements first. For those without regular arrangements, they can only wait until all their regular arrangements have been eliminated, and then try it.
However, if it really comes to this, they will probably be quite desperate.
Compared with the regular arrangement, the irregular arrangement is too complicated, and even the owner of the palace may not be able to figure it out.
Therefore, Cheng Yu believed that the arrangement of the spiritual lanterns was unlikely.
"What if our previous method was correct and these spiritual lanterns only need to be in the same direction instead of symmetrical, then wouldn't we have taken another detour?" Elder Feng said with some worry.
Originally, everyone just thought that it would be enough to adjust the direction of the spiritual lamp in one direction. Now there is another possibility, and this possibility is actually put into practice, but it requires countless adjustments. This is really a bit disappointing. collapsed.
"Although it is indeed possible that this is the case, at present, I think the symmetrical method is more likely. What do you think?" Cheng Yu asked Elder Fan and Elder Yang.
"Indeed, I didn't notice this before. Now take a look, the entire palace is indeed symmetrical. Not only these carvings, but even all the layouts are symmetrical.
If you just point all these spiritual lanterns in one direction, looking back, it does not match the layout here.
So I think these spiritual lamps should exist symmetrically. "Elder Yang responded.
"I also think symmetry is more likely. Although we can't guarantee that this is correct, there must be a sequence.
At worst, we'll try the most likely way first. If it doesn't succeed in the end, we can just go back and adjust all the spiritual lamps to the same direction! "Elder Fan said.
"Since you think so, let's adjust these spiritual lamps to a symmetrical mode first." Cheng Yu confirmed.
"Master, do we want to help you adjust these spiritual lamps? This will definitely save a lot of time!" Elder Yang asked.
"Okay, but you should be careful. Don't stare at the space below, otherwise you may be sucked in directly. Even if I can save you, it will be too late!" Cheng Yu reminded the three of them. .
"Don't worry, we already know what this thing is about. As long as we are careful, there should be no problem." Elder Yang and the other two nodded.
"This is best. Since all the spiritual lanterns are in the same direction now, let's take this direction as the first opposite. We only need to turn all the spiritual lanterns on the right side of the corridor to be opposite to the direction of the spiritual lanterns on the left. Yes, this can save us a lot of time!" Cheng Yu said.
"Okay!" This is indeed the fastest way, but I don't know if this direction is correct.
If it's not right, then everyone will have to turn all the lamps again next time.
Click!
Next, the four people began to quickly adjust the direction of the spiritual lamp on the right.
"Master, it seems that the symmetry is really right!" After everyone adjusted some spiritual lamps, Elder Feng suddenly said excitedly.
"Why?" Cheng Yu didn't think too much.
"Think about it, the eight directions of this spiritual lamp are all different. If the eight sides of these spiritual lamps were exactly the same, they would not be as symmetrical as they are now.
I just discovered that the spiritual lamps here and the spiritual lamps there are originally opposite, so it is impossible for the spiritual lamps on these two sides to reach the exact same direction.
Didn’t we notice the small differences in these spiritual lamps before? But as Elder Yang pointed out just now, there is indeed a difference between these spiritual lanterns.
So now I discovered that the spiritual lamp on the right and the spiritual lamp on the left are completely opposite. Doesn't this prove that the spiritual lamps on these two sides are indeed arranged symmetrically? "Elder Feng explained.
After listening to Elder Feng's words, Cheng Yu and the other three nodded. This was indeed the truth. If the engravings on the eight sides of each spiritual lantern are different, then if the spiritual lanterns on the left and right sides are arranged symmetrically, the engravings on the spiritual lanterns on both sides must be opposite.
If the carvings on the spiritual lamps on both sides are in the same direction, it means that the spiritual lamps on both sides cannot be completely symmetrical.
Even if the two faces are facing each other, the carvings on the other faces are definitely not in the same direction.
Therefore, with this thought in mind, Cheng Yu and Elder Yang once again compared the spiritual lanterns on both sides. This is no better than not knowing. After careful comparison, it is really an important discovery.
The engravings on the two sides of the spiritual lanterns are indeed opposite, which can be said to be 100% proof that the two sides of the spiritual lanterns are indeed arranged symmetrically.
"Elder Feng, why have you become so smart all of a sudden? You even discovered such details. How about you make symmetrical adjustments first?" Elder Yang said with a smile.
"Haha, I usually don't like to think so much. If I hadn't thought of so many spiritual lanterns trying to change directions, I would have been so anxious that I wouldn't have thought of this!" Elder Feng himself also smiled. said.
Elder Fan and Elder Yang were old partners with him, so they both knew his life and temper relatively well.
Therefore, when he usually goes out on missions, he is basically only responsible for fighting, and the two of them are responsible for the think tank.
"This discovery is indeed very important. If Elder Feng hadn't reminded me like this, I would have forgotten such an important thing!" Cheng Yu also said with a smile.
When they discussed it before, they said that they would try the symmetrical method first, and if it didn't work, they would try the same direction.
But based on the engraved layout of the spiritual lamp itself, these two methods are simply impossible.
Unless, as he said before, the spiritual lamp itself is also symmetrical. In this case, it can be both symmetrical and in the same direction.
But the eight directions of this spiritual lamp are actually all different, so it is impossible to be both symmetrical and in the same direction.
After figuring this out, the next step is to take the easy way out. Anyway, there are only eight sides in total. If you really can't, try all eight sides and you should be able to succeed.
Before, they chose to lay out in the same direction, but that was still not certain. Because it is possible that after adjusting all eight directions, other outlets cannot be opened.
But it's different now. The spiritual lamps on both sides obviously exist in symmetrical form, which means that among the eight symmetry planes, the symmetry of one plane is correct.
The four of them were very happy, so they adjusted the spirit lamp faster, hoping to find the right one as soon as possible.
