"There's a total of eight directions. Right now, we can only confirm that this direction is wrong. Therefore, the remaining seven directions must be correct.
As for which direction is correct, we can't be sure for the time being. Therefore, we can only try again and again.
If our luck is good, we might be able to succeed this time. If our luck is really bad, then we really have to adjust all the directions of the spiritual lamps. "Cheng Yu said helplessly.
Previously, when he adjusted the direction for the first time, he had paid attention to these spiritual lamps. However, he couldn't see anything wrong with them. Therefore, he could only try his luck.
"But young master, the risk of doing this is also very high. We've only done one round and we've already triggered the mechanism twice. If every spirit lamp were to be turned seven times, who knows how many mechanisms would be triggered and how much danger would it bring? "Elder Feng said." That's right.
"Then do you have any good ideas to let us take fewer detours?" Cheng Yu asked.
He really didn't have a better idea now. However, if everyone brainstormed together, there might be a new idea.
"I haven't thought of a way yet. I just feel that although we can't be sure which direction is correct, can we also eliminate some directions?
If that's the case, we won't need to adjust the direction seven times, right? "Elder Feng said awkwardly.
"Then aren't you talking nonsense? If we know which direction is wrong, then we don't need to try one by one! "Elder Fang said.
"Elder Feng's words are actually somewhat reasonable. We can indeed use the elimination method to eliminate a few directions first!" Cheng Yu expressed his agreement to Elder Feng's words.
"Young master, do you know which directions are definitely wrong?" Elder Yang asked.
"Not sure!" Cheng Yu shook his head straightforwardly.
However, just when Elder Yang and the other two were somewhat disappointed, Cheng Yu spoke again.
"Although I can't see through it, we should study these spiritual lamps carefully."
"How do we study it? Didn't young master look at it for a long time? No, you still couldn't see any problems.
I feel that this is a complete waste of time. We might as well try it one by one. Perhaps, it will be faster. "Elder Yang said.
"But the risk is very high. What if we trigger another trap?" Elder Feng retorted.
"Although there is a certain amount of risk, I feel that with our strength, we should be able to face these traps.
Think about it, didn't we easily avoid the previous two dangers? "Elder Yang explained.
"Elder Yang, aren't your words too absolute? Although we did survive two crises before, if another trap appears, we might not be able to do it so easily.
Even though we still have young master here, we can't be sure how dangerous the traps behind us are. Perhaps even young master might not be able to save us. I think this is too risky. "Elder Fang stood beside Elder Yang and pondered for a while before speaking with some worry.
"That's right, Elder Yang. Although this will indeed take up some time, as the saying goes, sharpening the knife will not delay the work of cutting wood.
As long as we casually eliminate a few directions, we can save a few hundred times of turning the spirit lantern. Furthermore, we can reduce the risk. Isn't this much safer than turning the spirit lantern randomly? "Elder Feng said.
"Young Master, what do you think?" Elder Yang did not continue to argue with everyone.
Because he didn't deny that Elder Fang and Elder Feng's words were reasonable. If they could really eliminate a few directions, it would naturally be a good thing.
However, they and their young master had looked at it for a long time. It was because they couldn't see anything, so in the end, their young master chose to turn the spirit lanterns one by one.
Therefore, he felt that using any method of elimination would be futile. If there really was a way, they would have used it long ago. Why would they wait until now?
"Both of you have your own reasons. However, I wish to study these spirit lanterns again. If every time they turn, there is a possibility of triggering a trap, it will have a huge impact on our progress.
Let's just treat it as a rest first and recover our spirit force. It will also be good for the situation later on, "Cheng Yu said.
To turn all the spirit lanterns once, let's not talk about how long it would take. Just the risk itself was too big.
Even if they were able to eliminate one more direction, at least they wouldn't have to take a detour.
"Since young master also said so, I can only agree with your method," Elder Yang smiled.
In this kind of matter, there was no right or wrong because everyone's intention was good.
In any case, when the time comes, the one to turn the spirit lanterns would be their young master. Therefore, everything would be decided by their young master. If he wanted to study it, then so be it.
No matter what, they were trapped here and couldn't get out. What they had was plenty of time, so they didn't mind waiting for a while longer.
Since the four of them had reached a consensus, they raised their heads and compared the big spirit lanterns.
"Young Master, previously, you were only turning the spirit lanterns inside the lantern shell. Do you think there is a need to turn the lanterns outside?" After the four of them compared a lot of spirit lanterns, Elder Feng suddenly spoke.
"Did you see anything different about these lanterns?" Cheng Yu enquired.
It wasn't that he didn't notice these lanterns, but he really couldn't see anything different about them.
Every lantern shell had four sides. In the middle of each side, there was a circular hole. It was just nice for them to see the spirit lanterns inside. And the light from the spirit lanterns was also coming out from these four holes.
"Just from the outer appearance, it seems like they are all the same. However, the carvings on these lanterns are too complicated. I'm not sure if the carvings on the same direction are the same. I'm not sure if young master is able to see it," Elder Feng said.
"I have already seen these carvings. All the directions and carvings on the lanterns are not a problem," Cheng Yu nodded.
"If it's like that, then there really isn't a problem with these lanterns. But with so many lanterns, would there be one or a few of them that have a different direction? "Elder Feng said.
"Check all the lanterns again. All the lanterns must have the same direction. Not a single direction can't be different," Cheng Yu said.
"Alright!" The trio nodded. They then focused on checking all the lanterns.
After all, all their attention was placed on the spirit lanterns inside. Previously, when their young master was rotating the spirit lanterns, he had triggered the trap mechanism.
Therefore, the spirit lanterns were the main focus of their attention. Even if they had observed the outer shell, they didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that they were only paying attention to the outer shell and no longer looked at the spirit lanterns inside, they were able to see if there was any difference in the outer shell.
"Young Master, we have already checked. All the lanterns seem to be the same. Furthermore, there is no problem with their direction. They are all moving in the same direction, "Elder Yang said.
"If it's like that, then the lantern shell doesn't have any mysteries. Seems like all the mysteries are on the lanterns inside," Cheng Yu said.
Although he didn't find any clues on the outer shell, Cheng Yu felt a lot more relaxed.
Because just these spirit lanterns were already giving him a headache. If even the direction of these lanterns was messed up, then the situation would be very complicated.
If he wanted to determine the direction of the spirit lanterns and the outer shell at the same time, he would have to try moving the outer shell in four different directions.
This also meant that every time he moved the spirit lanterns, the outer shell would have to move four times. This was even more than the number of times he had to move the spirit lanterns.
Now that there was no problem with the outer shell, it was equivalent to saving a lot of time and trouble. At the very least, it was equivalent to reducing the chances of triggering the trap mechanism. How could he not be relaxed?
"Then, Young Master, did you find any clues from these spirit lanterns?" Elder Feng asked expectantly.
"I have been thinking about a problem," Cheng Yu said.
"What problem?" The trio asked curiously.
"Did you notice the characteristics of the palace's decorations?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Characteristics of the decorations? Isn't it just some carvings that look like pictures and words? Could it be that Young Master recognized the meaning of these carvings? "Elder Feng said.
"Whether these carvings have any meaning or not, I'm not able to tell. But if you guys take a closer look at this palace, did you notice that all the carvings inside are symmetrical?" Cheng Yu explained to the trio.
"Symmetrical? Eh? It seems like it's true. But Young Master, what does this have to do with us finding a way out? " When Elder Feng heard Cheng Yu's words, he looked at all the carvings in the palace. All of them were really symmetrical.
"Young Master, could it be that the arrangement of the carvings in this palace is actually the arrangement of the spiritual lanterns?" Elder Yang compared the situation on the left and right side of the palace before looking at the spiritual lanterns. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.
"That's right. I have this suspicion. Furthermore, look at the outer shell of the spiritual lantern. The carvings on the lanterns are symmetrical. Therefore, the outer shell of the lantern on the other side of the long corridor is also symmetrical.
Since the outer shell of the lantern is symmetrical with the things inside the palace, then the lanterns inside should also be symmetrical, "Cheng Yu said.
"That makes sense. Since it's like this, let's quickly adjust these spiritual lanterns so that they are symmetrical!" The trio felt that the significance of Cheng Yu's discovery was very significant. It was as if they had already found a way out. They were even somewhat impatient to move these spiritual lanterns.
"Don't be anxious. The more clues you find, the more you have to be calm. Once you have a direction, you can't be anxious.
