Chapter 5 The Secret of the Library

Early the next morning, Xia Yuwei came to Puji Temple with five cakes, a pot of water, and the remaining nine herbal books.

Master Huiyuan said: "It's too early for you. This is dry food and water. I plan to live in the Library Pavilion."

Xia Yuwei said with a smile: "I only have five days, so of course I have to hurry up."

Master Huiyuan said to Yuan Qing: "You go with her, otherwise she won't be able to enter the library."

Yuan Qing agreed and accompanied Xia Yuwei to the library.

The Library Pavilion is located behind Puji Temple. It is built against the mountain and is magnificent. It has three floors in total. When Xia Yuwei was in Puji Temple in her previous life, she accidentally heard someone say that there is a centuries-old library on the third floor of the Library Pavilion.

It was a secret that no one could solve. Although she only had five days, she was very interested and eager to try.

Yuan Qing greeted the monk guarding the door, and Xia Yuwei entered the library in a few steps. She couldn't hold back her excitement and went directly to the third floor. To her surprise, it could be said that the third floor was very

It was empty. There was a picture hanging on the wall, and there was a big iron box on the ground. There were mechanisms on the box, and there were a lot of irregular numbers. She walked over and looked at the numbers on the iron box carefully. She found that the numbers

It is divided into ten groups, each group is a number written in Chinese characters from one to one hundred. Each group of numbers corresponds to a groove. Only by putting the correct number into the groove can the box be opened. If you want to guess

Toru, which number is correct is simply impossible. Not to be outdone, Xia Yuwei tried a number, only to realize that guessing just one was not enough. She could only put all ten correct numbers into the corresponding grooves.

Only then could the box be opened. Xia Yuwei thought to herself: "Are we so stumped?" She was unwilling to give in. She tried to lift the box, but the box seemed to be nailed to the ground and could not be lifted at all. She was very discouraged.

, thinking to herself, if it were so easy, no one would be able to open it for hundreds of years. What to do, what to do, she was so anxious that she spun around in circles. Finally, she collapsed on the floor tiredly, but she still had no idea. She lay down on the floor.

On the ground, the person was motionless, but her eyes were still looking around. Suddenly, she saw the painting on the wall. She stood up and went over. It was a chess record, an endgame, very subtle. She looked

After playing for a long time, I felt that my chess skills were limited and I was afraid that I would not be able to break through.

She had no choice but to sit on the floor, take out a piece of cake, and take a vicious bite. Why is this secret in this disgusting library so difficult?

Alas, she lamented, she couldn't even solve this chess game.

But, what is the relationship between this chess game and this box? Only by solving the chess game can we see the answer? But this chess game, she was frustrated. She only knew simple moves such as flat four and five. Such an exquisite chess game

, she had never seen it before. She thought silently, when her father taught her, she didn't take it seriously. Why should she learn this? But now... She scratched her hair in annoyance. Oh, hateful

Flat four goes into five. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, flat...four...isn't four a number? Could it be that this chess game is placed here not for people to decipher, but to look at the position? She quickly stood up, and

Walking to the chess board. Yes, there were ten chess pieces. She cheered. No wonder no one had cracked it for so many years. It turned out that she had made a mistake, or was misled by the person who set up the chess game. She looked at each chess piece carefully.

First, she tried the horizontal position of each chess piece. It was wrong. Well, she reversed the order of the chess pieces, but it was still wrong. She was not discouraged. She tried the vertical position, but it was wrong, and then reversed it. Xia Yuwei was surprised to see

, the box opened. There was a mechanism inside. She pressed the mechanism, and a gap slowly opened in a wall, just enough for a person to pass through. Xia Yuwei mustered up her courage, walked to the wall, took out the fire folding box, and lit it.

She slowly walked into the gap. The gap was a corridor. She didn't know where there was a vent, but there was air flowing inside, and it wasn't stuffy. She walked far away and found that at the end of the corridor, there was a huge grotto.

Xia Yuwei thought about it and understood. The library was built against the mountain. The ancestors of Puji Temple hollowed out the mountain and built grottoes and corridors. Inside the iron box was the mechanism to open the corridor. This library is actually

It is the entrance to the grotto and also the cover of the grotto.

Xia Yuwei couldn't help but admire, this was really clever.

She looked around and found that the grotto was very large, with words carved on one wall, and several boxes on each of the other three walls. She first looked at the wall with the words written on it, and after looking at it, she realized that it turned out to be a very profound internal skill.

She thought to herself that she was destined to learn this. She stood in front of the wall, read and memorized each word, and recited it several times. She was originally smart and had a good memory.

Very good, and I am very careful now, so I will remember it quickly.
