Qin Xiao squatted down and touched the edge of the well with his hand: "The edge of each of the four outer wells is inlaid with a crystal stone. The colors are different." He touched it gently with his hand.
Unexpectedly, one of the crystal stones was seized.
Ruyi exclaimed: "Oops! Don't worry, there are traps. Hurry up and hide."
The two of them walked through the small courtyard and hid under the courtyard wall, huddled together. After a while, they didn't see the poisonous arrow flying out from the side. Qin Xiaocai said: "This spar setting may not be a hidden weapon.
Since there is a barrier outside, ordinary people or monsters cannot enter at all. The reason why we were able to come in was purely accidental...Our entry was beyond the imagination of the builder, and there was no need for him to build a mechanism at all."
Ruyi felt that what Qin Xiao said was reasonable, and the two returned to the five wells.
Qin Xiao put the crystal in his hand back into the well trough. The moment he inserted the crystal, both of them clearly heard a clear "ding-ding" sound coming from the big well in the middle.
.After a few times, the sound disappeared.
"Is the sound caused by the movement of the crystal?" Ruyi asked.
Qin smiled and said: "This is simple, we will know if we try it again." He dug out the crystal again and put it in again. Sure enough, the sound of dinging came to mind again at the bottom of the well.
"This may really be a mechanism, but it is not a mechanism that hurts people, but another kind of mechanism. We don't know the purpose of this mechanism yet, so it's better to be careful." Qin Xiao said cautiously.
Ruyi nodded and looked at the five wells from a distance. As she looked at them, she suddenly said: "You are helping me to see if the four wells are facing the four positive directions of southeast, northwest and northwest."
Qin Xiao had been marching for a long time and was very good at identifying directions. He soon gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, that's exactly it."
"To put it simply, these five wells represent the east, west, north, and south." Ruyi said.
Qin Xiao immediately understood what Ruyi was referring to: "What do you mean, what is the connection between these wells and the four villages established outside?"
Ruyi said: "I am just guessing. Judging from the clues we have now, it is very likely that the big well in the middle represents Zhongzhai, and the four wells next to it symbolize the four villages."
"The crystals are not exactly the same, they come in different colors, including blue, green, yellow, ocher and red."
Ruyi thought for a moment and asked Qin Xiao to pick out all the crystals and arrange them on the ground.
"The colors of these crystals actually match the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth. I don't think this is a coincidence, maybe it's something the correspondence represents."
"According to what An Xiaojiu said, the four villages are divided into Anshui in the East Village, Jiaomu in the West Village, Cijin in the Nancun, and Pure Land in the North Village. The water is blue, the wood is green, the gold is yellow, and the ocher is earth. The remaining one is naturally red.
Fire. Let's put the corresponding stones in according to the name of the village and try it out." Ruyi took the lead in picking up the red gold stone representing fire and stuffed it into the groove of the big well in the middle.
Qin Xiao placed the rest one by one. He placed the last crystal stone very carefully, and then pulled Ruyi back a few steps. However, there was nothing except the dinging sound at the bottom of the big well in the middle.
