Everyone put all the collected Xi Zhens on the ground and examined them one by one.

Horse, monkey, rooster, tiger, rabbit, snake, deer, human, cow, rat, pig, sheep.

They found a total of 26 seat towns, and they had all twelve shapes.

The only pity is that since there is only one Xi Zhen in the shape of a pig, only a complete set of twelve shapes of Xi Zhen can be assembled.

According to the order of the twelve zodiac signs, the rat, the ugly ox, the Yin tiger, the Mao rabbit, the Si snake, the Wu horse, the Wei sheep, the Shen monkey, the unitary rooster, and the Hai pig.

Among them, there are ten images of Xi Zhen that match the twelve zodiac signs.

Only the "deer" and "people" that Xia Wu found were different, and the disharmonious ones formed another faction.Then, there is no dragon that should be ranked fifth, and the dog that is No. 11.

Moreover, besides this, there is a more difficult problem. There are no cracks on the wooden wall, and there are no wooden blocks that can be pushed away. How to use these towns to unlock them?

Everyone stared at the twelve Xi Zhens lined up on the ground and thought hard. Song Ci also sat on the ground, holding an extra snake-shaped Xi Zhen tossing and looking over and over, his eyebrows almost twisted into Chinese knots.

Wei Haoran and Xia Wuye each took two Xi Towns, and tried to knock on the wooden wall everywhere, trying to find a 'keyhole', which made the sound of clanging in the hall, ear-piercing. Absolutely.

Tang Si looked at Xi Zhen with the base facing up in Song Ci's hand, and suddenly remembered a detail, "When those wooden walls came out of the ground just now, there seemed to be some square holes at the top. Could it be used to put these things?"

"Really?" Song Ci looked at Tang Si with bright eyes, "Why didn't I see it?"

This detail is very important, if there is a square hole in the top of the wooden wall, it may be a keyhole!

"Maybe it's because you were hugging my boots and closing your eyes to rest." Tang Si said solemnly.

Song Ci: ……………

I just want to laugh at me, so why put it so tactfully.

"Just confirm it." Tang Si tapped his toes to the ground, and with a flick of his body, he easily jumped onto the wooden wall.

His unrestrained and agile skills left everyone dumbfounded.

"It's so handsome!" Wei Haoran looked up at Tang Si standing on the wooden wall, envious.

Song Ci was also taken aback by Tang Si's meteor-like movements, the serpentine Xizhen in his hand was beating his palm one after another, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.Among other things, his partner's skills are really outstanding.

"There are indeed holes, and the size is very close to those of Xizhen. A total of..." Tang Si counted, "Twelve."

Sure enough, there were twelve!

Hearing the number that matched Xi Zhen, everyone was immediately elated. It seems that they should be looking for Xi Zhen in the right direction.

"Are there any other clues?" Song Ci raised his head and asked, the lights in the hall made him narrow his eyes slightly uncomfortably.

Seeing his strenuous effort, Tang Si patted the almost non-existent dust on the gloves, and jumped back to the ground, "I'm not sure, do you want to go up and have a look?"

Song Ci looked at the top of the wall, hesitating.Three meters, a little... tall, let alone going up, just imagining that perspective, his legs are a little weak.

"Don't bother, just watch it." Song Ci lowered the corners of her eyes in cowardice, and tried her best to find a high-sounding reason to decline.

"No trouble."

In the next second, Song Ci felt a familiar tightening in his shoulders and neck, and Tang Si actually grabbed him by the collar and directly lifted him up to the wooden wall.

"Here, there is a hole here. It's more convenient for you to look directly." Tang Si took a step forward, squatted down, and pointed to the position between himself and Song Ci.

Song Ci glared at Tang Si aggrievedly, do you think I'm a marionette?Always carry around.

The top of the wooden wall is about the same as the bottom, about [-] centimeters wide, which is still more than enough for Song Ci to stand on it with his feet side by side.In theory, it is safe and stable enough.

However, the physiological reaction of fear of heights cannot be controlled by rationality at all, and it cannot be controlled at all.

Song Ci looked at her feet helplessly, and immediately felt dizzy, her legs were as soft as noodles, as if she would fall headfirst at any moment.He braced his bent knees and bit his lower lip desperately so as not to yell out in embarrassment.

Trembling left and right, Song Ci could only squat down in embarrassment and sat on the wooden wall.Because the hem of the clothes he was wearing was too big, after he sat down, the hem of the clothes was hanging on the wall, and the sleeve-like pockets were in the air.

Song Ci's feet pitifully kicked twice in mid-air, and finally found a sense of 'down-to-earth' when they stepped on the hem, and settled down.

Looking at the hem of the clothes that Song Ci had stepped on several times in a crooked manner, Tang Si's forehead twitched twice, but finally held back and said nothing.

"See clearly this way." Seeing Tang Si staring at him, Song Ci explained guiltily.

Tang Si: ……………

[Character OOC, does not meet the keyword, 'dignified'.

Dishonored in front of others, [-] points will be deducted.The penalty points will be doubled next time. 】

Electronic sounds are never absent.

Crowd: ………………

It's okay to be holding your boots and squatting just now, but now you come out to find a sense of existence!Song Ci complained silently in her heart, thinking that when she left this secret room, she might be allergic to the word dignified!

It's good for him not to tremble right now, so how can he care about his clothes?

The young man in military uniform not far away snorted and laughed out loud.Song Ci pretended not to hear, what else could she do if she was ridiculed by the secret room boss, she could only endure it.

The wooden wall area was not closed. Although Song Ci and the others were not very loud when they were studying the five-element lock, they couldn't stop the team next door from eavesdropping.

Hearing that they went to the top of the wooden wall to look for clues, they immediately started to arrange it.

When Song Ci sat firmly, the muscular man in seat No. [-] also climbed to the top of the wooden wall with the help of his teammates.However, he wisely chose a corner far away from Song Ci and Tang Si, and did not approach.

Song Ci who sat down felt a lot more at ease, and if he didn't look at the bottom, he didn't feel that top-heavy anymore.He took a long breath, calmed down, and was finally able to carefully observe the hollow in front of him.

Just like what Tang Si said earlier, those hollows were square in shape and about three centimeters deep. He gestured with the snake-shaped mat in his hand, and the length, width and depth matched, just enough to accommodate the base.

In addition, the bottom of the concave hole in front of him was engraved with the word 'six'.

Song Ci looked at the concave hole, Xizhen's bases were the same size, and the word 'six' undoubtedly represented the order.So, just put these Xi Towns in order?

Twelve-digit password?Song Ci looked at the young man in military uniform, who was sitting in mid-air, resting his chin leisurely, with the look of passers-by watching a show.

When the body got used to it, Song Ci looked at the whole wooden wall again. When they were at the bottom, they felt that the shape of the wooden wall was a bit strange, with oblique angles. It is actually a huge, majestic "tiger" character!

What does the word 'tiger' mean, the tiger-shaped Xi Zhen, or the tiger in the Chinese zodiac?Song Ci couldn't be sure for a while.

He quickly described the current situation to several team members below. Now that he found the keyhole, the next thing to decide is the order of putting them into Xi Town.

Wei Haoran scratched his head, "If you say that, maybe it's in the order of the seats?"

Xia Tian Wu shook his head, "No way, it's too simple to number the seats."

"Perhaps the person who sets the password doesn't like trouble. The passwords of my mobile phone and bank card are both 123456." Wei Haoran said plausibly, holding Xizhen in his left and right hands.

Crowd: ………………

Is there any difference between your password setting and no setting?

Lin Ling said, "It's actually not that simple. At that time, everyone might pay attention to themselves and Xi Zhen sitting next to him, but they have watched the whole show and remembered not much, right? Who of you remembers the seating order of these Xi Zhens? How was it arranged?"

"Do you want to cooperate?" The bespectacled boy on the other side of the wall has been paying close attention to the movement here, and now he couldn't help but say, "We should be able to make up the seats that were sitting at that time if we put together according to our memories. The order in which the towns are placed."

"No need," Song Ci resolutely rejected the other party, "I remember."

Glasses boy: ……………

Are you a monster?Remember this too!

The five discussed for a long time, but there was still no result.

"Time is limited, it's useless to stay in a daze for so long, why don't we try it in this order first, and change it if it doesn't work." Xia Wu turned on the light screen to look at the countdown, and calmly suggested.

"How many chances do we have? There will be no punishment for wrong answers, right?" Lin Ling looked worriedly at the young man in military uniform standing in midair.

In this secret room, the youth in uniform undoubtedly represents the rules.

"If the answer is wrong, the answerer will deduct 50% of the points." The young man in military uniform said lazily.

"How many times will you be eliminated if you answer wrong?" Song Ci asked worriedly.

The young man in military uniform originally wanted to ignore his question, but after being scratched by Tang Si's eye knife, he touched the tip of his nose in disgrace, "Each answer consumes a set of quest items. After all quest items are consumed, the automatic judgment fails. Re-open the next question." round of chamber games."

There is no doubt that the mission items are those Xizhen.

"No. 3, No. 7, you've heard it too, don't say we don't cooperate at all, how about changing a few towns and getting two chances each?" Wei Haoran quickly played his diplomatic card.

No. 3 ran to discuss with No. 7 and the others, and proposed a condition, "If you want to change it, you must share the order of the seat towns according to the seat positions that you just said."

"The first seat is a cow, the second seat is a sheep, the third seat is a horse, the fourth seat is a pig, the fifth seat is a rabbit, and the sixth seat is a figurine. Seat No. 11 is a snake, seat No. 12 is a monkey, seat No. [-] is a deer, seat No. [-] is a chicken, seat No. [-] is a mouse, seat No. [-] is a tiger. "

Song Ci said it immediately.The glasses boy and the others would definitely not be able to grab their right to try out the password, so Song Ci didn't mind telling the other party.

The boy with glasses on the other side also knows that the chances of getting the order are not great. However, no matter how small the chance is, it is still an opportunity. Moreover, what he really wants to test is whether Song Ci is bragging. After all, good logical reasoning does not mean good memory. I want to know Song Ci's strength.He had an intuition that they would meet again in a secret room in the future.

Soon, the two sides made up two sets of seats.

"Well, since I suggested it, I'll come first this time." Anyway, trial and error doesn't need to be eliminated for the time being, Xia Tian Wu patted the corner of his clothes and stood up easily.

Song Ci stopped him, "I'll do it."

On the one hand, he felt that he was the captain and had to take responsibility. On the other hand, he had gained a lot of points from No. [-] just now, and he could afford to deduct them.

"The degree of certainty is too small, it is very likely to fail this time, and it will be up to you next time." Xia Tian said indifferently.

Song Ci was touched by Xia Wu's responsibility, and she was silently moved.

As a result, Xia Wu shook his finger at him again, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not great. Before I came in, I gave him all my points to buy bears, and I've spent them all. Now the balance of points on the book is actually only the one I got just now." So, in terms of cost performance, it is the most cost-effective to deduct my points."

Song Ci was stunned, can the points be used as money?Then he remembered what 3344 said during the upgrade, the upgrade opened the basic purchase authority to open the secret room store, but the guy urged him to choose the secret room later, and he didn't even have time to see what the so-called secret room store was.

Xia Wu hugged the twelve seats in his clothes, patted the short boy on the head, "Help me."

The boy seemed to find it troublesome, so he pouted, but he did not refuse his request after all. He fumbled in the breast pocket of his overalls, and finally took out a piece of paper, which he folded into the shape of a paper crane.The boy blew on the paper crane, and the crane came alive!

Everyone: ……………………

Song Ci and Tang Si looked at each other, this little boy is really not simple!

Xia Wu sat on the paper crane and leisurely came to the wooden wall.The moment he stood on top of the wooden wall, the paper crane turned into origami again, and fluttered back to the ground.

In order to avoid getting in the way, Song Ci was also brought back to the ground by Tang Si's collar.

"Why, want to take a peek?" Xia Tian raised his eyebrows to look at the muscular man still standing on the wooden wall, "Either you come first, or you go down."

The muscular man who originally wanted to pick up the leak had no choice but to go down in despair.

Xia Tianwu held twelve seats, and quickly arranged them in the order of seats.

"If the answer is wrong, half of the points will be deducted." The young man in military uniform said expressionlessly.

Everyone sighed in disappointment, it really couldn't be that simple.

The glasses boy and the others also tried it once, and the answer was also wrong.

With only one last chance left, both teams paused for the time being.

"I think it should be related to the twelve zodiac signs, in the order of the twelve zodiac signs." The crowd gathered under the wooden wall, and Uncle Wang Lang said hesitantly, "These images of Xi Zhen coincide with the twelve zodiac signs at such a high rate. High, it must be related."

"However, how should the extra deer-shaped Xizhen and human figurine Xizhen correspond to the dragon and the dog?" Xia Wu and the short boy sat back to back on the ground, with the huge teddy bear doll in the middle.

"Could it be that the reputation of the ancient dog was not very good, so it was replaced by a more auspicious deer?" Wei Haoran opened his mind.

"What did that man say?" The muscular man squatting on the top of the wooden wall couldn't help interjecting.

Tang Si glanced at the other party indifferently, and the muscular man immediately raised his hands, "I have no other intentions, we are also stuck here, just to brainstorm!"

"Brainstorming?" Xia Tian Wu sneered, "Eavesdropping is eavesdropping, don't put money on your face."

The muscular man shut his mouth in embarrassment, and returned to his team's territory in despair under Tang Si's cold eyes.

"In the past, people worshiped dragons. Didn't the emperor always claim to be the emperor of the real dragon? Could this figurine-shaped Xi Zhen refer to the identity of the emperor's real dragon?" Lin Ling also followed suit.

Xia Tian was stunned for a while, and couldn't find anything to refute for a while.

Listening to their discussion, Song Ci yawned next to him, leaning on an overturned short table and fell into deep thought, the ancient twelve zodiac signs?

"The biggest possibility should be this. Human figurines replace dragons, and deer replace dogs." Wei Haoran patted the ground.There are only the last 5 minutes left. If they don't answer, they will be judged as failures. Why don't they use this idea to fight again.

"You go." Song Ci felt that he, the team leader, had to answer the question this time.However, even if he was killed, he didn't want to go up for the second time, so he pushed Tang Si as a matter of course.They are 'family' anyway.

Tang Si didn't shirk, and jumped up the wooden wall cheerfully.

Wei Haoran and others were in charge of throwing Xizhen up to Tang Si from the bottom, and Tang Si followed the agreement just now, first put in the ten Xizhen that completely matched the twelve zodiac signs, and then put in the Xizhen shaped like a figurine. fifth position.

When he took the last deer-shaped mat and moved it to position No. 11, and was about to put it in, Song Ci suddenly said, "No, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Tang Si looked at him suspiciously.

"The deer should be placed in the seventh position." Song Ci said.

"Where do you put the horse in the seventh frame?" Tang Si, who was holding Xi Zhen, was stunned.

"Put it in the eighth frame, and put the sheep in the eighth frame in No. 11." Song Ci said briefly.

"Huh?" Everyone was completely confused.Is this still a zodiac sign?

"The thing about the ancient twelve zodiac signs that you just mentioned reminded me that, in fact, the arrangement of the twelve zodiac signs in the past is different from ours now. According to the decorations in the hall and the reminders of these objects, we should follow the Qin and Han zodiac signs. the rules of that period.

There is also the word "tiger" on the wooden wall, which may not refer to the tiger in Xizhen, but to a place.Sleeping like a tiger. "

"Sleeping Tiger Land?" Everyone became more and more confused, but Uncle Wang Lang said excitedly, "You mean the batch of Qin bamboo slips unearthed in Yunmeng Sleeping Tiger Land?"

"Yes, Zishu, Chouniu, Yinhu, Maotu, Chenren, Sisnake, Wulu, Weima, Shenhou, Youji, Xuyang, Haipig. The records in the batch of Qin bamboo slips, the ten The order of the two zodiac signs should be like this."

Everyone opened their mouths wide, and there is such a thing?

"Yeah, why didn't I remember that!" Uncle Wang Lang patted his forehead, "Hey, I'm getting old. Due to the influence of early book preservation methods and war chaos, it is easy to cause cultural or information faults. The original The twelve zodiac signs have evolved several times before becoming the order we use now."

After Song Ci finished explaining, Tang Si also finished playing.

With a rumbling sound, the machine moved away from the wall facing the beast's foot case, revealing the five character cards hanging inside.

The young man in military uniform turned his hands behind his back, "Congratulations, you have successfully unlocked Mission [-]. Since you have not entered the night banquet of reincarnation, you have the additional right to freely exchange a name card in your hand among teammates."

The bespectacled boy and others who were waiting to let them try and make mistakes were stunned. Did it succeed?It really succeeded?

Lin Ling showed a look of joy, and ran towards the signboard excitedly.

Wei Haoran took the lead and ran to the wall first, but instead of reaching out to grab it, he turned around and waved to Song Ci, "Captain, hurry up, you pick first."

All the badges face up on the back, and there is not much difference. Before Song Ci stretched out his hand, he looked at Tang Si next to him hesitantly, "I seem to be a little dark, why don't you draw it?"

"It's okay, the black spot is healthy." Tang Si pushed him towards the signboard.

Song Ci: ……………

After being told by Tang Si, Song Ci was not so entangled anymore, and then flipped through it, and got the word 'hua'.

'Broken', 'interest', 'wood', 'text', 'jiong', 'of', 'layer', 'chemical'.

"YES!" Song Ci fiddled with the eight-character tile in his hand, clenched his fist excitedly, and his four-character phrase was completed!

Cultural gap!

After Wei Haoran and others finished drawing the cards, they began to piece together, and Song Ci also shared his useless 'wood'.Then he relaxed and sat down against the short case.

A few minutes later, Wei Haoran, who was the first to make up the cards, squeezed out the surroundings of the rest of his teammates, happily walked towards Song Ci who was sitting next to him, and enthusiastically patted him on the shoulder, "Boss, how about adding a friend?" ?”

Song Ci fell straight down.

Wei Haoran:! ! ! ! ! ! !

The author has something to say: I would like to explain that Chen is not written as a "person" in the bamboo slips of Sleeping Tiger Land, but a vacancy.When I saw it before, I glanced at it and misunderstood it. I thought it was a "man", and suddenly found something wrong in the next second. The article is an artistic processing based on this "misunderstanding" at the beginning.Please see the notes below for details.

I was supposed to rest today, (╥╯^╰╥), but I forgot to mention it yesterday, so let’s move it to tomorrow.It will not be updated tomorrow on Friday, and it will be updated normally on Saturday.

Fat Gain in Mini Theater

For a while, Song Ci ate desperately to gain weight.

Tang Si [incomprehensible]: Why do you suddenly want to gain weight?

Song Ci [Looking forward]: If you become fat, you don't have to be carried around like a marionette by some people.

Tang Si [raise eyebrows]: Don't worry, even if you weigh twice as much as you do now, I can still carry it.However, if you are dissatisfied with the posture, we can discuss it, for example, the princess hug?

Song Ci: ……………

So Song Ci's fattening plan was forced to terminate after 52 hours of execution.Because he realized that it was not that he was too thin, but that some people were too strong.

Remarks: 1. According to modern archaeological data, the earliest record about the twelve zodiac signs found so far comes from the famous Qin bamboo slips in Yunmengsuihudi, which is about from the Warring States period to the Qin Shihuang period.There are more than 100 Qin bamboo slips in this batch, which were hand-copied by the owner of the tomb, an official named Xi.Among them, the "Japanese Book" records as follows, "Zi, the mouse, the thief has a sharp mouth, thin beard,... ugly, the cow, the thief has a big nose and long neck,... Yin, the tiger also, the thief looks, hope Beard, black face. Mao, rabbit, the thief has a big face. Chen, the thief is a man, blue and red... Si, insects, the thief is long and black snake eyes. Noon, deer is also, the thief has a long neck and small哘, its body is incomplete...Wei, horse, the thief has long bearded ears. Shen, ring, the thief has round face...you, water...xu, old sheep...hai, hog."
