"Young Master, although I didn't go up to see the appearance of the lamp, but from the outside of the lamp shell, the lamp doesn't seem to be symmetrical, right?" When Elder Yang heard his young master say that the lamp was symmetrical, he deliberately turned the lamp on the top and looked at it for a long time.
However, in his opinion, although this lamp had eight directions, he couldn't see it too clearly. However, through the holes on the four sides of the huge lamp shell, it was enough to see the appearance of the lamp clearly.
He deliberately stared at the two opposite sides carefully, and then changed to the opposite side. He discovered that although these sides looked very similar, there were still differences.
"Can you see the difference?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Young Master, look at these two opposite sides first. The one on the left of the center, and the one on the other side.
The carvings are just the opposite.
Then, look at the carvings on the right of the center of this side, and then look at the opposite side, the carvings are also opposite. "Elder Yang led the young master to point out a few different places and said.
"Young Master, it's really like this. These lamps aren't symmetrical!" Elder Feng followed Elder Yang's finger and looked at it. Then, he compared the two sides and found that the lamp was indeed not symmetrical.
"If that's the case, then I can only try it one by one like before. In any case, regardless of whether this lamp is symmetrical or not, as long as it's symmetrical to the opposite side of the lamp, it's fine! "Cheng Yu also carefully compared it and found that what Elder Yang said was right.
Although the carvings on the two opposite sides were extremely similar, there were still some differences. He didn't know if there were any more differences. However, just the little difference that Elder Yang pointed out was enough to prove that the lamp itself was indeed not symmetrical.
In this way, it was originally possible to only try to correspond to four sides, but now he had to correspond to each side.
"Young Master, are you sure this is the way to open the secret mechanism in other places?" When Elder Feng saw that he had to try every eight sides of the lamp again, his previous excitement suddenly disappeared.
If that was the case, then everything that he had done previously would have been in vain.
"I can only say that there is this possibility. To say that I am certain is naturally impossible. After all, there are all kinds of possibilities in this kind of thing! "Cheng Yu shook his head.
After all, this palace was so huge, but there were only so many things in it.
Moreover, putting aside the question of whether or not he had done the right thing by turning the spirit lamps, at the very least, he had triggered some mechanisms after turning the spirit lamps.
Therefore, from this point alone, it could be seen that the mechanism of this palace was on these spiritual lamps.
The biggest problem was that there were nearly a hundred spirit lamps in the palace. Each spirit lamp had eight sides, and each side was different.
If they wanted to combine these spirit lamps, there were too many possibilities. Even if they stayed here for a year, they might not be able to figure them all out.
Therefore, they could only carefully observe and study which method was the most likely.
If there was a pattern to the direction of these spirit lamps, then everything would be much easier. However, there was no pattern to the number of Spirit Lamps. That would be troublesome.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, they could only find these regular arrangements first. As for the irregular arrangements, they could only wait until all the regular arrangements were eliminated, then try again.
However, if they were to really reach this step, then they would definitely be in despair.
Compared to the regular arrangement, the irregular arrangement was too complicated. It was possible that even the master of this palace might not be able to figure it out.
Therefore, Cheng Yu felt that the arrangement of the spirit lamps should be something impossible.
"What if our previous method is correct? These spirit lamps only need to be in the same direction and not symmetrical? Then wouldn't we be taking a detour again?" Elder Feng said worriedly.
Originally, everyone felt that as long as they adjusted the direction of the spirit lamps, it would be fine. Now, there was another possibility. Furthermore, when this possibility was put into practice, they would need to adjust it countless times. This was truly causing them to break down.
"Although the truth might be like this, from the looks of it, I feel that the possibility of a symmetrical arrangement is higher. What do you think?" Cheng Yu asked Elder Fang and Elder Yang.
"Indeed. We didn't realize this previously. Now that we look at it, the entire palace is indeed symmetrical. Not only these carvings, even the layout is symmetrical.
If all these spirit lamps are pointed in one direction, then looking back, it does not match the layout here.
Therefore, I believe that these spirit lamps should be symmetrical. "Elder Yang replied.
"I also feel that the possibility of symmetrical arrangement is higher. Although we can't guarantee that this is definitely correct, there must be a sequence.
At most, we can try the most possible method first. If we don't succeed in the end, then we can go back and adjust all the spirit lamps in the same direction! "Elder Fang said.
"Since you also think so, then let's first adjust these spirit lamps to a symmetrical arrangement." Cheng Yu confirmed.
"Young Master, then do we need to help you adjust these spirit lamps? This will definitely save us a lot of time! "Elder Yang asked.
"Alright, but you have to be careful. Don't stare at the space below. Otherwise, you might be sucked in. At that time, 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's going on with this thing. As long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any problems." Elder Yang and the other two nodded.
"That's for the best. Since all the spirit lamps are pointing in the same direction, then we will first use this direction as the first opposite direction. We only need to turn all the spirit lamps on the right side of the corridor to the opposite direction of the spirit lamps on the left side. This way, we can save a lot of time!" Cheng Yu said.
"Alright!" This was indeed the fastest way. It was just that they didn't know if this direction was correct or not.
If it wasn't right, then the next time, everyone would have to turn all the spirit lamps at once.
"Ka-cha!"
Next, the four of them began to quickly adjust the direction of the spirit lamps on the right side.
"Young Master, it seems that the symmetry is really correct!" Just as everyone was adjusting some of the spirit lamps, Elder Feng suddenly said excitedly.
"Why?" Cheng Yu didn't think too much about it.
"Think about it. The eight directions of these spirit lamps are all different. If the eight sides of these spirit lamps were exactly the same, then it would be impossible for them to be as symmetrical as they are now.
I just realized that the spirit lamps on this side and the spirit lamps on the other side were originally opposite to each other. Therefore, it was impossible for the spirit lamps on both sides to be pointing in the same direction.
Previously, we didn't notice the minute differences between these spirit lamps. However, Elder Yang had already pointed it out. These spirit lamps were indeed different.
Therefore, I realized that the spirit lamps on the right side and the spirit lamps on the left side were completely opposite to each other. Doesn't this prove that the spirit lamps on both sides were arranged symmetrically? "Elder Feng explained.
Hearing Elder Feng's words, Cheng Yu and the other two nodded. It was indeed reasonable. If every spirit lamp had eight different carvings, then if the spirit lamps on the left and right side were arranged symmetrically, then the carvings on both sides would definitely be opposite.
If the carvings on both sides were also in the same direction, then it meant that the spirit lamps on both sides couldn't be completely symmetrical.
Even if the two sides were set up facing each other, the carvings on the other side would definitely not be in the same direction.
Therefore, with this thought in mind, Cheng Yu and Elder Yang once again compared the spirit lamps on both sides. If they didn't compare, they wouldn't know. After carefully comparing, it was really an important discovery.
The carvings on both sides of the spirit lamps were indeed opposite. This could be said to be 100% proof that the spirit lamps on both sides were arranged symmetrically.
"Elder Feng, how did you become so smart all of a sudden? You even discovered such a small detail. How is it? First, we should adjust it symmetrically, right?" Elder Yang smiled.
"Haha, I usually don't like to think so much. If it wasn't because there were so many spirit lamps that needed to be changed, I was too anxious and wouldn't have thought of this point! "Elder Feng also smiled.
Elder Fang and Elder Yang were his old partners. Therefore, the two of them had a better understanding of his life and temper.
Therefore, when they went out for missions, he was basically only in charge of fighting while the two of them were in charge of thinking.
"This discovery is indeed very important. If it wasn't for Elder Feng reminding me, I would have really forgotten about such an important matter!" Cheng Yu also smiled.
Previously, when they were discussing, they had said that they would first try the symmetrical method. If it wasn't successful, then they would try the same direction.
However, with the carvings on the spirit lamp itself, it was impossible for these two methods to appear.
Unless it was like what he had said before, the spirit lamp itself was also symmetrical. In that case, it would be able to be in the same direction and also be symmetrical.
However, the eight directions of the spirit lamp were actually different. It was impossible for them to be both symmetrical and in the same direction.
After thinking through this point, the next step would be smooth sailing. In any case, there were a total of eight sides. If it really wasn't possible, they could try all eight sides and they should be able to succeed.
Previously, when they chose to arrange the same direction, it was still under uncertain circumstances. Because it was possible that even after adjusting all eight directions, they still wouldn't be able to open the other exit mechanism.
However, it was different now. The spirit lamps on both sides were obviously symmetrical. This meant that among the eight symmetrical sides, there was always one side that was symmetrical.
