Chapter 68 [Nice Name]

The woman's eyes in black seemed a little different. In her squinted eyes, there was a hidden light flashing through her. Then she smiled and turned her head to look at Chen Xiaocai: “Are you nervous? ”

Chen Xiaolian leaves the corner of his mouth open.

“How many copies have you been through, rookie?” The women in black seem to be a little curious about Chen Xiaosheng.

“How can you be sure I must be a rookie? ”

The woman in black laughed, and when she laughed, her eyes would bend into the shape of moon teeth, and a pair of smiles were born - but it would never be polite to say it from her mouth: “Because you almost wrote the word" rookie "on her face. ”

“…” Chen Xiaoliang stopped talking.

“Old birds with many copies have a strong sense of vigilance and crisis. They will never drain their strength indiscriminately in non-combat. Where, like you, are you running around carrying a big axe - are you strong?” Women in black mask a smile: “Also, stunned everywhere, when fighting comes up to start skills, don't you know that starting skills can consume too much power? You have a great axe technique, but it's best to keep your strength against those BOSS-grade monsters. You deserve to be exhausted right now with your skills. ”

Chen Xiaoliang was proud, as if he was not angry at all, but listened carefully. When this woman finished talking, he nodded: “Is there anything else? ”

“And?” the woman in black thought, slowly: “In a strange environment, don't run around, get familiar with the terrain first, you come up and run to me, in case I malicious, your corpses have been refreshed. A senior awakener meets someone in a copy, and the first reaction is to be prepared in case someone doesn't like it. If I want to kill you...”

“Thanks for the heads-up!” Chen Xiaoliang spoke very sincerely: “I will keep these words in mind. ”

“…” the woman in black glanced deeply at him: “You are a strange person. Aren't you angry at me for counting so many? ”

“There's nothing to be angry about.” Chen Xiaolian spoke plainly: “I was a rookie. Now that I have a master like you willing to teach me these experiences, that's something I can't ask for. Besides, you're not talking nonsense. Everything you say makes sense. This experience is not worth the money. Some listen to it. It's my luck. ”

The woman in black crooked her head and thought about it - the action was a little cute and seemed a little out of tune with her cold appearance, but she did it, but she had an extra adorable feeling.

“Who is this little girl? ”

“Friend... kind of a sister.” Chen Xiaoliang slowed down.

“You know, in a copy, it's already very difficult to live on your own, if you want to be distracted to protect others... then sooner or later you will be killed by this practice. ”

Chen Xiaocao shook his head: “There are some things that have to be done. ”

“I… will not become a little face Oba's drag.” The show, which has been quiet and silent, suddenly said this very seriously, although the voice is very small, the tone is very definite.

“Well, the chat is over.” The woman in black waved her hands, and she had put two knives away, probably into the system, walked to the stone table, looked at the water below, and frowned: “It's rising again a lot. Many more rock monsters just fell in, increasing the height of the water. Well, next time we refresh the monster, we have half an hour. ”

Turning her head, the woman in black looked at Chen Xiaolian: “Any suggestions? ”

“Don't you think I'm stupid?” Chen Xiaocai grinned his nose.

“The fool's thoughts will surely come to pass.” The women in black are serious.

Chen Xiaolei laughed - he suddenly discovered that the girl had a very special temperament, which was that… it seemed very cold and not very nice to talk to, but it always showed a very naive appearance at certain moments.

“I do have a little idea.” Chen Xiaolei took a few steps, pointing to the secret room plan previously drawn by the girl on the ground.

“Say it.”

“There are eighty-one stone platforms here, right? ”

“Not bad.”

“This is the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, built by the ancients… at least this is the background to the plot. So, in terms of traditional culture, does the eighty-one figure represent something special?” Chen Xiaolei was not too busy, slowly said: “The emperor's name is the honor of 95, in ancient numbers, the number of 9 is the honor. Here is Qin Huangling, so in order to solve this problem, I think we can start with numeracy. Nine is the most noble meaning, then eighty-one... is ninety-nine! Nine, nine, eighty-one. ”

“Go on!” Women's eyes flashed in black.

“Before I say it, I need you to give me a little message.” Chen Xiaoliang said slowly: “There are several stone platforms that have collapsed on your drawing, and I need to know the order in which they have collapsed. ”

“Simple.” The woman in black immediately walked over, kneeling on one knee, stretched out a slender finger and quickly lit the floor plan a few times: “Here, here, here… and here, that's the order. I've been thinking here, and I want to look for a pattern in the order in which these stone tables collapse, and I started with the probability of mathematics, but I've never found what the pattern is. ”

Chen Xiaoliang pondered carefully, and suddenly he laughed at the sequence of collapse of the stone tables suggested by this woman in black.

He looked at the woman in black: "Emperor, the pride of 95. Ancients used to divide numbers into yin and yang, odd numbers into yang, even numbers into yin. The emperor, of course. The largest number in the positive is nine. So it's the most noble. And that five of the 95 is in the middle of all the numbers.

You know, from one count to nine, five happens to be the middle one.

So, ninety-five out of nine is noble, five is centered. At the same time, because the emperor stands for the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number of the number ”

“Keep talking!” Women's eyes flashed in black.

“If there is truly a concealed valve under the stone table, which is the central hub that manipulates this entire chamber, the most important place at its core, then it should be the number of concealed ninety-five. ”

“Nine and a half?” Woman in black frowns: “Is that nine or five? ”

“To be precise, your question should be… which row of nine is the fifth.” Chen Xiaocai laughed: “You see, the eighty-one stone table here, although it seems a little messy, but if you look closely, it's actually very evenly distributed, but it's just different sizes and confuses your gaze. If you look closely, you can see that they are arranged in an unconventional way.

Nine horizontal rows, nine vertical rows!

In other words, looking across, there are nine rows, nine stone tables per row.

Look vertically, there are nine verticals, nine stone platforms per vertical!

So the problem is simple.

Horizontally on the fifth row, vertically on the fifth column.

It just so happens that this horizontal line is crossed together! And the intersection, which happens to be the fifth stone table in the row, is also the fifth stone table in the row.

It's more than that. If you look at it obliquely, you will also see… From the northwest corner to the southeast corner, the obliqueness is also nine stone platforms. From the northeast corner to the southwest corner, the slope is also nine stone platforms.

And the two lines, where they intersect... are exactly the same!

A horizontal, a vertical, a north-west, a south-west slope, a north-east, a south-west slope... see, this is a 'm’ shape.

There are four lines, all nine stone tables, and the four conditions are crossed together to form a 'm’ shape! They all cross at the same point! And this point of intersection, for the four lines, is... the fifth stone table! ”

“The intersection of the four lines? Why must it be the intersection of the four lines?” The woman in black frowned.

“Because the number four is important!

Remember, we were talking about a positive number, but there is a negative number besides a positive number. The ancients called an even number a negative number, which is two, four, six, eight, four numbers! So, four is the number, implying that all negative numbers are covered! The intersection of the four lines, this' four ’is implicit. ”

Chen Xiaocai did not panic: “In summary... then, I think the main valve hub should be the most central stone platform in this Chamber... that is, this one at our feet now! ”

“ ………… ”

The woman in black froze and looked at Chen Xiaolian: “How did you figure that out? ”

Chen Xiaocai smiled bitterly: "I said I was Mongolian, do you believe me? ”

“Unbelievable.” The women in black shook their heads seriously.

“Okay.” Chen Xiaolian thought about it: “I've seen some explanations about the 95th number of ancient people, and this is the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. Since it is the Emperor's mausoleum, I think the number should be a secret 95th number law to start with. So... half is inference, half is guessing. ”

“But try it!” Woman in black is a little excited: “So knock this stone table off our feet! ”

Chen Xiaocai thought, "Do you have explosives? I didn't bring that stuff in. ”

The woman in black glanced at him: "… you say, the rookie can no longer be a rookie. ”

……

Chen Xiaocao jumped onto a stone table next to him, and then he saw the woman in black show her strong side with his own eyes!

The woman in black stood on the stone platform in the center, she knelt down slowly, took a deep breath, her right hand held over her head high, her palms together as a fist... her fist instantly illuminated a golden glow!

The woman dropped her fist and hit the stone platform at the foot.

The golden rays of light flashed and instantly did not enter the stone platform.

The woman in black stood up and patted her hands. She walked over in her spare time. She jumped up gently and landed beside Chen Xiaocai.

Chen Xiaolian looked at the central stone platform and frowned: “How come there's no movement... Huh?! ”

He just said it, so it happened!

That central stone platform, with the spot just hit by a woman in black fist, suddenly countless tortoises appeared! In every crack comes a golden light!

Then... silently, a large stone platform suddenly burst... broke!

Like dough that has been pumped out of moisture, like flour, completely crushed!!

The whole stone platform collapsed and turned into powder!!

Chen Xiaolei has stared wide-eyed!

In his judgment at this moment, this woman in black is definitely the most powerful person he has ever met, whether a player or an awakener, after he was involved in this amazing world!

He has encountered powerful people, such as Newton the Chopper, such as the Meteorite Team's Autumn Meteorite, who are super powerful.

But no one, at this moment this woman in black brings more shock to Chen Xiaolian!

Just as Chen Xiaolei stared at the woman in black, she suddenly had a happy smile on her face, clapping her hands and laughing: "That's right! You got it! This is it!! ”

After the stone slam collapsed, the bottom part revealed a huge cave! The surrounding mercury flowed quickly into the cave and then went down, forming even a giant vortex...

Watching the mercury surface in this chamber fall fast...

“Looks like you're smarter than I thought.” The woman in black closed her eyes and looked up and down at Chen Xiaocai: “I owe you a favor, if I get a chance, I will repay you. ”

After a pause, she patted Chen Xiaocai's shoulder: “You're Chen Xiaocai, right? I just forgot to tell you... my name is Miaoyan. ”

Miaoyan?

Nice name…

[Say something extraneous: about the density of mercury and the fact that the stones won't sink... thanks to several readers for pointing it out.

Admittedly, it was my own knowledge, but it was my fault. Hmm... but it's written down, folks... just ignore it... eh.

Thank you to several readers for pointing out that I will be more careful and try to avoid similar mistakes in the future.

Well, after all, I have been away from school for many years, so much knowledge has been returned to my teacher...

Shame on you...]
