Tang riddles

"Mr. Shen... Forgive me for being stupid, what do you mean?" Zhao looked at Shen Sui in confusion.

Shen Sui was silent for a moment, without further explanation, he turned to say:

"This object is very special and very complicated. Keqin may have taken the wrong path to unravel this object, so he fell into deep thinking. Mrs. Zhao, if you can trust me, send your son to me Come to recuperate for a few days, I have a way to restore him to his original state. But, you should stop hiding this matter from your elder brother. We still need your elder brother's assistance to bring Keqin out of Lanling Xiao's mansion. "

"Sir...it's not that I don't want to tell my brother, it's just...my brother's personality, he likes to drink a lot every day, and when he drinks too much, he breaks his mouth. I'm afraid he will gossip around."

"In this critical time, Mrs. Zhao, you must choose to trust your elder brother. In the face of big right and wrong, he will not be the same as usual. Apart from him, you have no one else to trust. Especially... I'm afraid that Keqin will stay with you for a day In the government, it will be dangerous."

"Sir, what's the meaning of this?" Zhao asked in horror, his complexion paler.

"This child... didn't go crazy because he was addicted to this thing. He was poisoned. It just so happened that a friend of mine was also poisoned like this, so I can recognize it. This poison is called heart poison, and it will lower people The willpower to expand people's desires, if coupled with psychological hints, the poisoner can use this to achieve the purpose of controlling others. The son is still young and his mind is not yet fully mature, so the effect is even more significant. I guess, this next The poisonous person is still in the Xiao family's mansion in Lanling, he wants to control the son and let him unlock the secret hidden in this thing for him."

Mrs. Zhao was completely dumbfounded, and just grabbed Shen Sui for help.Shen Sui comforted her and said:

"Don't worry, we have a way to control the toxin. Although we can't completely undo it, we can effectively suppress it. Our trip is also to find the antidote. And this thing may contain the antidote Place."

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Mr. Shen, please give me some guidance. No matter what, I will fully cooperate."

"Ms. Zhao, please. Please, cooperate with us to play a play. I want to lure this person who is hiding in the Xiao family in Lanling and assassinating your son. He may be able to solve some doubts in my heart."

Mrs. Zhao nodded: "Sir, just tell me."

Next, Shen Sui asked Mrs. Zhao to write a handwritten letter, explaining Xiao Keqin's situation, and asked him to come tomorrow to pick up the child at Guiyan Station.After the letter was finished, Shen Sui also asked Mrs. Zhao for a token from the Zhao family siblings, and kept it together.Afterwards, she tried to pull the weird irregular ball out of Xiao Keqin's hand.After trying for a long time, he finally forcibly opened his fingers.This child, even when he was seriously ill, still grasped this thing so vigorously, which shows how strong the psychological hint is to him.

"I'll take this thing first. It's a matter of great importance. This thing is extremely important. The child is so sick that he probably doesn't have the strength to ask for it. You take care of him. Don't make any mistakes tonight. It's best to take care of him yourself." Stay by his side. Tomorrow, I will send someone to pick up the child together with your elder brother. Maybe someone will come to obstruct it at that time, Lady Zhao must hold on tight, trust me."

Mrs. Zhao nodded to express her understanding.

After repeatedly exhorting Mrs. Zhao, make sure she remembers everything.Shen Sui took the letter, the token, and that strange object and left Lanling Xiao quickly and silently.She hurried all the way back to Yanyi, and first found Bai Wuding, the head of the Liangzhou branch who had been staying with Guiyanyi, and ordered him to deliver the letter and tokens to Zhao's Medical Center in person, and even said what she said. Bai Wuding, I want him to convey it verbatim.

Bai Wuding took the order and hurried away.Shen Sui immediately went upstairs, and after entering the room, he hurriedly sat down in front of the desk, not even having time to wash his hands.She cleared the desk case, carefully placed the weird thing on it, and observed it from the outside.Then he pondered.

Zhang Ruohan was not in the house at that time. After she was pregnant, she was greedy and would often eat other snacks besides three meals, so she always went in and out of the kitchen from time to time.When Shen Sui came back, she was in the kitchen with Qin Nu watching the girl making cakes, and when the group returned to the room with freshly baked soft white cakes, they saw Shen Sui sitting in the room alone, frowning and bowing his head, Stare at something strange.

"Chishi?" Zhang Ruohan called her in surprise, and then walked in.

"What is this?" The bride also saw it and couldn't help asking.

Shen Jin also rolled the wheelchair up curiously.

"This is... How should I put it, I have never seen this thing before, so I don't know what to name it." Shen Sui said distressedly, "The jigsaw puzzle that Mrs. Zhao said fascinates Xiao Keqin is actually this thing."

【ah?This is a puzzle? 】Shen Jin was surprised, 【Sister, this is completely different from our puzzle. 】

Shen Sui once got a jigsaw puzzle, and also studied this game invented by Westerners with Qin Nu, so the two sisters have more or less understanding of jigsaw puzzles.This jigsaw puzzle really surpassed their cognition.

"This is not a puzzle, this is a maze." Shen Sui said, "Look, this is a multi-faceted sphere. From the surface alone, it is composed of twenty hexagons and twelve pentagons. Each hexagon For the convenience of grasping, the hexagon and pentagon have a raised small round stick in the center. In fact, this can be pulled out. The hexagon and pentagon actually become a hexagonal pyramid and a pentagonal pyramid. There is a small core with a stake, which is used to fix these hexagonal prisms and pentagonal prisms to form such a polyhedral ball. Among these small round sticks that are easy to grasp, there are two special ones. This piece of hexagonal central The small round stick in the center is painted red, while the opposite direction, the hexagonal small round stick is painted blue. I guess there is something special about these two places. So I tried Pull out the red hexagonal prism."

While talking, she followed suit. After pulling out the red hexagonal prism, she turned the hexagonal prism over and displayed it in front of everyone.

"Shangqiongbi falls to Huangquan, and the two places are invisible." Zhang Ruohan read the words engraved on one side of the hexagonal prism.

"Look at this again." She pulled out the blue hexagonal prism again, and got up to engrave a line of words:

"The six spirits are above, and the six directions are in all directions, looking for a smooth way to the Cang Chijian." Zhang Ruohan read it out again.

"What do you mean?" Xiongniang was at a loss.

"This is Biluo," Shen Sui picked up the blue hexagonal prism with her left hand, "This is Huangquan", and she raised the red hexagonal prism with her right hand. "The two places are invisible, which means that the red and the blue do not meet each other."

"The meaning of looking for a smooth road to the red space is even more obvious. It clearly means that I want to find a road, a road in this multi-faceted sphere, which connects red and blue with each other, so that this A path can be passed through. If this is not a maze, what is it?"

"Ah?" Tiaoniang still didn't understand, "What's so difficult about it, a thread goes in through the red hole, and then threaded out through the blue hole, it couldn't be easier."

Shen Sui: "..."

Shen Jin burst out laughing, and Zhang Ruohan couldn't help laughing, she explained:

"No, you have to imagine it. Suppose, the internal structure of this polyhedral sphere is not as simple as what we have seen, it is not as simple as a plurality of prisms interspersed and fixed. Instead, each hexagon or pentagon , which represents a hexahedron and pentahedron, one side after another, one after another, extending to cover the entire space inside the sphere. And each hexahedron or pentahedron is an entrance and exit. Think about it, from this hexahedron If you want to enter from the blue mark of the hexahedron and come out from the red mark of the hexahedron, the structure inside will be so complicated. And the passage between red and blue is even more lost and hard to find.”

Tiao Niang had a strange expression on her face, as if she had eaten her stomach.She turned around in her mind for a long time, and finally said:

"I sort of understand what Sanniang means, but...why do you think about it so complicatedly?"

"It's not so complicated, can it still be called a maze?" Shen Sui asked back, "Besides, didn't they give you a hint? Liuhe Bafang, Liuhe means up, down, left, right, front, back, and eight directions are East, South, West, North, Southeast, Northeast, Southwest, Northwest. The combination of these directions, isn’t it just talking about a three-dimensional state?”

"Okay, okay, what about 'six spirits above'? What does it mean?"

"The six spirits... I think it may refer to the six elements represented by the six priests of the cult. The sky, water, earth, plants, animals, and humans. These six spirits are the creation of Ahura, the ancestor god of Zoroastrianism. There are six basic elements, and fire is above the six elements. It is the seventh element, the highest element, and the symbol of Ahura the Supreme God. This thing was originally made by the people of the cult. There are such words in It's not surprising." Shen Sui explained.

[I understand what you said, but sister, the crux of the problem is, is this... the maze left for Xiao Keqin by the person who killed the bluebird? What can be gained by unlocking the maze? 】

"About these two questions, I'm only at the stage of guessing, and I still need someone to give me the answer." Shen Sui said, "I suspect that there is a person who is also a member of the cult and has been lurking in the Lanling Xiao family for a long time. The person who killed the bluebird came to Liangzhou, in order to avoid contact with this person, or to avoid being discovered by him, so he disguised himself and sneaked into Xiao's mansion, and quietly left the thing to Xiao Keqin.

As for what happened between the two people after that, we don’t know. What we know is that half a year later, the murderer who killed the bluebird appeared in Jiuquan Mansion and was about to leave for Gaochang. , still lurking here.The child Xiao Keqin has been controlled by heart poison for half a year, his symptoms are much more serious than Qianhe's, maybe if I am one step late, this child will lose his life. "

【What?Xiao Keqin was also poisoned? 】 Qin Nu was taken aback.

"Yes, I don't know whether it was poisoned by the murderer who killed the bluebird, or by the cult members lurking inside the Xiao family, but I think the latter is more likely. The purpose is to force Xiao Keqin to crack the secret of this thing as soon as possible. .” Shen Sui looked at the three of them and said:

"Tomorrow, I will find a way to get that child out, Yanniang, you should prepare a copy of the medicine we gave Qianhe, and prepare a copy for Xiao Keqin."

"Okay, I understand, I'll go now." Ying Niang replied, then turned around and left first.

"Qin slave, lotus maid, both of you are intelligent people, please help me. Let's see what is going on in this maze."

Shen Jin and Zhang Ruohan got closer, and Shen Sui began to extract all the pyramids bit by bit.Zhang Ruohan couldn't help sighing, and said:

"Why do we always encounter such weird things? That person is really unnecessary. Why should he be so obtrusive when he wants to guide us to the main altar?"

"You can't say it outright to act like this. There must be a reason for it." Shen Sui said.

"In the future, don't make this kind of toy for our children. I will be the first to say no." Zhang Ruohan said.

Shen Sui was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly: "Why am I bothering?"

The author has something to say: Many people speculate that it is a Rubik's Cube, but it is not. The gameplay is quite different from the Rubik's Cube, especially in the fact that the Rubik's Cube cannot be disassembled. The two are completely different.This thing is more like a building block splicing game, and its appearance is actually more like a football (the ball used in the first World Cup was made up of 32 polygonal skins). The football is made of 12 yuan pentagonal black leather and 20 yuan six It is made of side-shaped white leather sewn together.
