My ancestral tomb is the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. Kill the tomb robbers at the beginning.

Chapter 161 Brainstorming, the importance of academic qualifications

really!
I saw that after the soil was removed, there were a few strange notches on each grid, which seemed to be the font of Xiaozhuan.

After seeing this scene, Zhuge Ting calmed down and thought carefully.

"This is the gossip combination lock!"

After recognizing the lettering on the grid, Zhuge Ting couldn't bear it anymore, and exclaimed directly.

Immediately afterwards, she hurriedly moved closer and continued to look at other inscriptions.

I saw that in the square 16 yuan grid, eight of them were engraved with two characters.

Among them, eight pieces correspond to the heavenly stems and earthly branches, and the other eight pieces are Gankan Genzhen Xunli Kundui. This is really a gossip code lock!
After recognizing those inscriptions, Zhuge Ting's doubts were immediately resolved.

No wonder she always felt that the grid on the stone slab was very familiar. It turned out to be recorded on the Qimen after Fenghou.

After thinking about this, she finally determined that this stone slab should be the opening mechanism of the underground mausoleum.

Because the evolution of gossip is ever-changing, and the ancients admired gossip, ordinary people cannot study gossip.

Usually, only the tombs of emperors can enjoy the treatment of using gossip as an organ.

And since there is a gossip pattern here, there is no doubt that as long as the password is unlocked, some kind of door opening device should be triggered.

At the same time, while Zhuge Ting was thinking quickly, Cao Feng also became puzzled.

Seeing Zhuge Ting's earnest study, he couldn't help but ask, "What did you say? Do you know the combination lock on this slate?"

Upon hearing the question, Zhuge Ting nodded while researching, "Yes, the inscription on this slate is very similar to the combination lock recorded in Fenghou Qimen, but it's not exactly the same.

"However, at least a part of this stone slab, I have been able to decipher it."

what?
Hearing her words, Cao Feng was even more puzzled.

But Zhuge Ting said without turning her head: "You will find out later, I just said that the code on this stone slab should be a kind of gossip code lock."

"Because the combination lock recorded in Fenghou Qimen is a circle with two inner and outer circles, dividing the gossip into two parts. However, the middle part of this stone slab is square."

"At first glance, the grids on these stone slabs seem to be out of order, but if you count carefully, the grids in this grid are also 16 yuan."

"And on each grid, there are actually lettering, but it was just covered by mud.
Hearing her words, Cao Feng quickly compared them.

I saw that it was indeed all engraved on it.
Look carefully, but he doesn't recognize a few

At this time, he seemed to have seen his doubts, and Zhuge Zhan on the side explained: "Don't be confused, this is Xiaozhuan, also called Qin Zhuan. It was after the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, and Ying Zheng ordered Li Si to carry out the writing reform. The font that just appeared."

"This type of font was very widely used at that time, and it was still used in some areas until the end of the Sui Dynasty. However, due to the difficulty of writing the font, after the Tang Dynasty, the official font was replaced by regular script, and the usage became rarer after that. gone."

"So I guess, this should be the same as what my sister said, it is the combination lock used to open the underground mausoleum!"

hiss!
Hearing this, Cao Feng suddenly took a deep breath.

It seems that the combination lock was really made by the person who built the tomb, and this is enough to prove that it was not made by the tomb keeper.
In other words, the tomb guard may not have entered the Mausoleum of the First Emperor yet!
It was at this time that Zhuge Ting recognized the characters above one by one.

So, she nodded and analyzed: "It seems that these inscriptions are the eight gates of fate in the gossip, Qiankan Gen Zhen Xun Li Kun Dui."

"And the other eight grids are the heavenly stems and earthly branches extended from the gossip."

"According to the records in Fenghou Qimen, the Ming eight gates in the gossip correspond to their respective extensions."

"In other words, as long as we move these grids in the order of the gossip, all of them will intersect in pairs and correspond to the order..."

For a while, Zhuge Ting slowly explained, and Cao Feng and the others suddenly realized after listening to her explanation.

So, is there such a solution?
It seems that Zhuge Ting was right to come in this time, without her, they would not be able to enter even if they found the underground mausoleum.

Thinking of the key point, Cao Feng suddenly pointed to the combination lock and said in confusion: "That's right, but apart from the gossip puzzle in the middle, how to solve the grids in the middle."

Hearing this, the other two also looked intently.

I saw that the outer circle of this grid is three large and small circles, one ring is surrounded by another, and dozens of grids are distributed.

Seeing this situation, Zhuge Ting also frowned and began to think.

"Indeed...but since we have deduced that the middle stone slab is a gossip puzzle, then the grid on the outer circle should also be related to gossip."

"According to Fenghou Qimen's explanation, theoretically, gossip should be able to be deduced infinitely. For example, Liangyi produces four phenomena, and four phenomena produce gossip."

"So I think these outer grids should be the extension of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in the Eight Diagrams. As for the extent of the extension, I am still unable to determine."

"However, since it is related to the gossip, there must be a way to solve it. Let's not worry, let's find the center first and solve it step by step. I think that as long as the gossip is correct, the next steps should all come naturally."

Hearing what she said, Cao Feng suppressed his eagerness.

At the same time, the netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't wait, so they all urged on the barrage.

But Zhuge Ting took a deep breath and suppressed her urgency.Although she knew that the entrance to the imperial mausoleum was about to open, she did not lose her mind.

And, in this case, impatience is the most taboo.

This pattern usually has a linkage.

While thinking, Zhuge Ting quickly calmed down.

Then, she came to Shimen, pressed two small squares in the square with both hands, and began to recall how to crack the code at the same time.

According to the pattern of the Eight Diagrams, it corresponds to the Kun bit and the Mi bit.

So, she moved the two small grids to the center respectively.

really!
This grid can be moved, and as she moved her fingers, the grid clicked and spliced ​​together.

Seeing this scene, several people present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhuge Ting held down the remaining stone slabs again, while continuing to pick them up.

According to the previous algorithm, the next step is to use the four assistants to align the Sun position.

So, she did the same thing again, aligning all the remaining small grids according to the gossip pattern.

After aligning the last two pieces, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the inner circle was set, she looked at the password of the outer circle again.

The password of this outer ring is very complicated.

However, Zhuge Ting couldn't be bothered.

Since the grid inside is a Bagua diagram, the outer grid may be a Bagua diagram
Extension.

So she just needs

According to the heavenly stems and earthly branches extended from the gossip, it can be deciphered.

And the grid on the outer circle is also engraved with seal characters, and it is related to gossip.

Then...

While thinking, Zhuge Ting looked towards the outer circle again.

But when she saw clearly what the lettering on the outer circle was, she froze on the spot.

Because, although there are indeed seal characters on the grid on the outer circle, it is different from what she thought.

I saw that there are nine compilation characters engraved on the small circles in the outer circle, but the difference is the uppercase numbers.

"one two Three…"

Zhuge Ting resisted the discomfort and read it out. There are nine letterings, from one to nine.

It has nothing to do with the so-called heavenly stems and earthly branches.

Seeing this scene, Zhuge Ting didn't seem to believe in evil, and hurriedly cleaned all the grids on the outer circle and the large and small circles.

But what happened next made her even more confused.

Because there are also numbers on the two layers of grids in the outer circle.

However, the numbers on the outer two circles are obviously much larger than those on the first circle.

The second circle is double digits and the third circle is three digits.

Seeing this, Zhuge Ting's face became extremely puzzled, and she suppressed the urgency in her heart and analyzed:
"It's not right! Take a look, the grid in the lying circle is not the heavenly stems and earthly branches."

"Now the lettering on the innermost circle is the number in small capital letters, nine numbers from one to nine."

"The second circle is eighteen numbers, all of which are two-digit numbers, and the third circle is three-digit numbers, with a total of 36 grids."

"This is weird. I can't think of any connection between this and gossip."

This sudden change disrupted Zhuge Ting's thoughts.

Cao Feng and the others were also taken aback by this.

What's the situation?
In gossip, how can there still be numbers.

And, is that many numbers?
This is so weird!
Zhuge Ting was also at a loss, except for the numbers one to nine in the inner circle except for the outermost two circles.

But where did Jiugongge get so many numbers?
Jiugongge?
Suddenly thinking of this, Zhuge Ting hurriedly looked down at the other two circles.

There are only two circles on the outside, which are eighteen numbers and 36 numbers.

hiss!
Seeing this scene, Zhuge Ting suddenly had a guess in her heart.

The two outer circles are both multiples of nine, so in that case, the two outer circles are also related to the Jiugongge.

It should be 36 grids and grids respectively.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Ting nodded immediately and said, "I know what these numbers mean!"

what?
Hearing her words, Cao Feng and the others were shocked.

so fast
But Zhuge Ting nodded and said: "Don't be surprised, someone reminded me in the live broadcast room before."

"Looking carefully now, the numbers on the slate are indeed familiar, and especially the nine numbers in the innermost circle, because the numbers in the innermost circle are Jiugongge."

"The numbers in the outermost circle are a bit difficult. However, I seem to have deduced the connection between them..."

"Then, it may be a higher-level Sudoku algorithm. Next, we can verify it according to the method of Jiugongge."

Hearing her words, Cao Feng and both of them nodded.

Next, Zhuge Ting turned her head quickly, and followed the two squares with her hands, preparing to use the nine-square grid method to calculate.

"call."

She took a deep breath and pressed two of the grids,

According to the ancients' calculation of Jiugongge, the first step should be two or four shoulders!
So she moved the two figures to the top half on the left and right sides.

After the grid is fixed, press and hold the other two grids.

The second step should be six or eight as the foot, and then left three and right seven.

Next, all the eight squares of Baica were moved to their corresponding positions.

Then, hold down the last grid and move down slowly.

The ancients in the Qin Dynasty decomposed the nine numbers from one to nine according to the arrangement of human organs.

The last step is five-centered.

With a click, the last square is in place.

Immediately, the barrage in the live broadcast room instantly dominated the screen.

"I'll just say Jiugongge!"

"It's really Jiugongge?"

"Then it's easy to say, hurry up and get the next one."

"Yeah, Sudoku is getting more and more difficult."

For a while, the netizens in the live broadcast room were not only not happy after seeing Zhuge Ting cracked the Jiugongge, but instead became frowning.

It's no wonder they are not optimistic about Zhuge Ting, everyone knows that Jiugongge is easy to crack, but the further down the calculation, the harder it is.

When it comes to the 36th grid, it can only be calculated by using advanced mathematical formulas or computers.

If you rely solely on the human brain, you won't have a good understanding of mathematics.

In this case, Cao Feng and Zhuge Ting couldn't help but frown after the Jiugongge was cracked.

Netizens are right, the nine-square grid can be easily calculated, and even the eighteen-square grid is not difficult to crack as long as it takes some time.

But if they jumped directly to the 36th grid, they would no longer be able to capture the regularity between those numbers.

In this regard, Zhuge Ting still does not believe in evil.

So, according to the algorithm of Jiugongge, she made two attempts.

But unfortunately, the algorithm of Jiugongge cannot be applied to the outer circle at all.

So, Zhuge Ting turned around and said to Cao Feng: "Sudoku is indeed more and more difficult as it goes forward. If it is the eighteenth grid, it is okay, but if it jumps to the 36th grid, without formulas and equipment, I have already done it. Unable to deduce."

"Even if you want to deduce it, it will take at least a few days."

Hearing what Zhuge Ting said, the audience in the live broadcast room fell silent.

As for Cao Feng and the others, they were also frowning.

Several people are becoming more and more anxious now. Now that they have reached this point, they must not back down.

Moreover, the wandering corpse will catch up at some point, and there is really not much time left for them.

If you continue to stay here for a few days, there may be some accidents.

More importantly, we may not be able to crack it after a few days.

How to do?
time is limited!
How to crack the password!
Seeing that the main tomb was right in front of them, but unable to enter, both Cao Feng and Zhuge Ting couldn't help feeling anxious.

But at this time, Zhuge Zhan noticed the change.

He crouched on one side of the slate, squinting at the slate on the wall.

He felt that the situation in front of him was a little weird.

Because he had devoted himself to studying the Eight Arrays before, he hadn't seen anything else in Fenghou Qimen.

The biggest difference between him and Zhuge Ting is that he doesn't understand the algorithm of Jiugongge at all.

Not to mention the deeper 36th house.

In this case, he could only squint his eyes and observe the lines of those grids.

But it doesn't matter, he suddenly discovered that there are some similarities in those grids.

I saw those grids, no matter the inner and outer three circles, the small grids inside were all the same size.

So what if all the grids are arranged in the order of the innermost nine grids?
what happens?
Thinking of this, he said almost subconsciously: "Sister, do you think these numbers are a bit strange?"

Hearing this inquiry suddenly, Zhuge Ting woke up from her anxiety.

She subconsciously looked at Zhuge Zhan and asked, "Do you understand 36 squares?"

When asking these words, Zhuge Ting still had some hope in her heart.

That's right, she doesn't understand more advanced Sudoku, but Zhuge Zhan does.

Zhuge Zhan is the person in their family who has studied the Eight Arrays most thoroughly.

And the Eight Arrays are all-encompassing, so he might be able to decipher them.

But although Zhuge Ting thought well, Zhuge Zhan was destined to disappoint him.

He shook his head and said, "Sister, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? You don't understand how I understand."

"However, I think these grids are a bit strange. Have you noticed that these grids are the same size regardless of whether they are inside or outside?"

While talking, Zhuge Zhan stretched out his hand and moved three small grids on the stone slab in front of him, making three circles inside and outside, and one grid corresponds to each other, showing a straight line shape
Then, Zhuge Zhan pointed to the grid and said: "Look, as long as the upper grid is moved to match, it can be connected into a straight line."

"Do you think there is any connection here?"

Hearing Zhuge Zhan's explanation, Ge Bai sighed.

He didn't understand Sudoku at all, and he thought he could solve 36 squares.

So, Zhuge Ting said with a wry smile: "Don't be funny, you can't even crack the Jiugongge, wait a minute, what did you say?"

Just saying this, Zhuge Ting suddenly froze
For a moment, she seemed to catch some doubt in her mind, but the doubt disappeared in a flash, and she couldn't grasp it no matter what.

Immediately, Zhuge Ting quickly looked at him.

Hearing Zhuge Ting's question, Zhuge Zhan pointed to the stone slab in front of him and said, "I mean, take a closer look, if all the grids can be connected in a straight line."

"and many more!"

"This is it, don't move!"

As soon as Zhuge Zhan said this, he was interrupted by Zhuge Ting's excited voice.
