Quick Transmigration: The Love Rescue Plan

At that time, it was about restoring the ancient painting—"The Night Banquet of Han Xizai". Dong Yinmiao calmed down and said, "It seems that whether it's going up or down, we've taken the right halfway to the other floor."

Fortunately, the nodes were all related to color difference. Dong Yinmiao and Zeng Runqin successfully descended five floors. The paintings on the five floors were "Spring Dawn in the Han Palace", "Night Banquet of Han Xizai", "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" and "Nymph of the Luo River".

That's right, the first floor you reach by walking down the stairs from the fifth floor is the "Nymph of the Luo River" painting, not the first floor of the "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" painting that Dong Yinmiao landed on in a parabolic trajectory.

"Let's go to the top floor and take a look."

Zeng Runqin frowned slightly and asked, "The highest level is 'Spring Morning in the Han Palace'? What exactly is going on?"

“We went up ten floors from the first floor. If I remember correctly, apart from the first five paintings, the murals on the later floors were all the same.”

"No, it's a repetition of four paintings. One painting only appeared once, and only on the first floor," Dong Yinmiao corrected.

"The Nymph of the Luo River?" Zeng Runqin remembered that the painting on the first floor was different from the one on the first floor that Dong Yinmiao had taken down from the fifth floor, which was called "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

Moreover, the only one that did not appear repeatedly was "The Goddess of the Luo River".

“The first and tenth floors are very special. You can only go up on the first floor, but you can only go down on the tenth floor.” Dong Yinmiao gestured the action of going up from the first floor and going down from the top floor.

Dong Yinmiao then continued her analysis: "The fifth and tenth floors both feature the 'Spring Morning in the Han Palace' painting, which might be a clue. The exit is indeed on the first floor. As long as you go down the stairs from the 'Nymph of the Luo River' painting on the first floor, you can exit the art museum."

"But there's no staircase leading down from the first floor," Zeng Runqin asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Is it possible that the so-called first floor is not the first floor, and the fifth floor is not the fifth floor?" Dong Yinmiao thought for a moment and said, "Our previous first floor could be the 'Nymph of the Luo River' painting, or the 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains' painting, or something else, because this first floor is not the real exit."

"The first floor can be any of the five paintings, because there is no exit on the first floor. Only one of the five paintings cannot appear on the ninth floor at will, because it leads downwards to the exit. Therefore, the first floor accessible by the stairs can only be that painting."

"If we want to go down from the real exit on the first floor, we must go up and down the stairs in order to reach the 'Nymph of the Luo River' painting on a certain floor, and then go up or down."

As Dong Yinmiao spoke, he wrote down the five paintings on a piece of paper and analyzed them one by one: "In terms of chronological order, they are: 'The Goddess of the Luo River,' 'The Night Banquet of Han Xizai,' 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains,' 'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains,' and 'Spring Dawn in the Han Palace.'"

“If the exit is indeed on the first floor, then the one representing the first is ‘Nymph of the Luo River’,” Dong Yinmiao continued. “Based on this, we can deduce that the next owner of ‘Spring Morning in the Han Palace’ must be ‘Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains’.”

“But when we got to 4.5, we saw the ‘Night Banquet of Han Xizai’, which means that going down from the ‘Spring Morning in the Han Palace’ on the fifth floor was the wrong thing to do.” Zeng Runqin nodded in sudden realization.

“Yes, let’s go back to the floor of the ‘Spring Morning in the Han Palace’ where Luo Shen and the others are. Time is limited, so let’s all work together.” Dong Yinmiao nodded and added.

Dong Yinmiao and Zeng Runqin will lead Luo Yuheng and the others to the floor of the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains painting. Everyone will form two teams and follow behind Zeng Runqin and Dong Yinmiao.

Zeng Runqin led everyone safely from the fifth floor to the seventh floor, to the floor of "A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains". However, what appeared on the wall at 7.5 was "Spring Morning in the Han Palace".

Everyone quickly adjusted their formation, with Zeng Runqin still leading the way as they went down from the 7.5th floor to the 7th floor. Then they went down from the 7th floor to the 6.5th floor.

The painting on the 6.5th floor is still "Spring Morning in the Han Palace".

Zeng Runqin looked at Dong Yinmiao with some hesitation and said, "Did I go to the wrong place? Did I get stuck in the same 'Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains' repetition as you did before?"

Dong Yinmiao, who couldn't see any difference in color at all: ...

Luo Yuheng said, "Take a look at the 'Spring Morning in the Han Palace' painting at 6.5 and see if you can spot any flaws."

Zeng Runqin immediately calmed down and slowly descended the stairs, with everyone following closely behind her.

Zeng Runqin noticed the unusual color and then said, "I'm about to step over the next step."

"Okay," the others said in unison.

Following Zeng Runqin across the steps to position 6, the "Night Banquet of Han Xizai" finally appeared on the wall.

Zeng Runqin led everyone to 6.5, and sure enough, the "Nymph of the Luo River" painting appeared below.

Zeng Runqin took a deep breath and said, "Logically speaking, we should be able to leave the art museum if we go down from here."

Dong Yinmiao patted Zeng Runqin's hand to comfort her, "Don't be nervous, you can do it."

I climbed up step 5 to reach step 4.5 without skipping any steps. Sure enough, the wall at step 4.5 was still decorated with the "Nymph of the Luo River" painting.

Zeng Runqin said, her face pale, "I can't find it. We... can't go back to the correct 5 now either."

He Yihua looked at Dong Yinmiao and said, "Can you bring us back to the idiom with the number 5?"

“Teleportation requires an object to be swapped. It can only be AB to BA, not air to A. Bug-like things like time reversal and star shifting are also unusable.” Dong Yinmiao shook her head and said, “To go back to 5, you can only walk back.”

Qiao Zishan thought for a moment and said, "Are there any idioms related to 'precise proofreading'?"

“I have two idioms in mind: one is ‘a difference of a hair’s breadth,’ and the other is ‘it’s hard to tell the truth from the falsehood.’” Dong Yinmiao said hesitantly, “We have four chances to experiment with idioms, but I can’t guarantee that the two idioms I have in mind will be useful.”

“Actually, I have a plan.” Zeng Runqin finally calmed down and smiled slightly. “I know my own paintings best. As long as Sanshui summons Gu Kaizhi, we can go back to the correct 5, and then go down from the correct 5 to the correct 4.5 and leave the art museum.”

The order of the five paintings actually corresponds to the painters of five dynasties: Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty: "Nymph of the Luo River", Gu Hongzhong of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms: "The Night Banquet of Han Xizai", Wang Ximeng of the Northern Song Dynasty: "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", Huang Gongwang of the Yuan Dynasty: "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", and Qiu Ying of the Ming Dynasty: "Spring Morning in the Han Palace".

Gu Kaizhi was a man of great learning and talent, and was known as one of the three perfections: perfection in painting, perfection in writing, and perfection in his eccentricities.

Such a famous person would naturally be mentioned or praised in many poems throughout history, but it's hard to say whether these high school seniors will be familiar with them.
