The few of them stood before the relief sculptures and examined them closely, not knowing what was going on. They all fixed their eyes on the green-eyed dwarf.
"Green Eyed Hero, what's the meaning behind the poem? Are you trying to open the trap?" Xu Dazhi asked.
"A fan of poetry, and a dry fan. But Li Bai's poem is indeed the key to opening the secret door. "
"Then what exactly is this poem about?" Wei's knowledge of poetry was only vaguely understood.
"The meaning of this poem is that I shall carry a jug of wine and place it among the flowers to drink without any friends or relatives. He raised his cup, inviting Brightmoon to join him. Of course, Brightmoon wouldn't drink, and her figure would only follow me. I had to be with them for the time being, and in order to enjoy myself, I had to grasp the beauty of spring. I sing and the moon hovers over me, and I dance in disorder. Joy together when you wake up. Disperse after getting drunk. I would like to form an everlasting friendship with them, one that forgets the pain, and we meet at the edge of the ethereal Milky Way. "
The green-eyed dwarf's explanation stunned Xu Dazhi and Wei Lin for a long time.
"What's wrong with this Li Bai? The writing is too profound." "I don't understand, I don't understand." Xu Dazhi shook his head.
"So what if you don't understand. If you could understand, wouldn't you be like Li Jun?" The green-eyed dwarf ridiculed.
"Green Eyed Hero, what can you comprehend from Li Bai's poems?" Shen Hong asked.
"I think that the phrase 'three pairs of shadows' is the key." "The green-eyed dwarf acted like he was drinking and raised his head to look at the sky." Only there was no moon. How can I fight against the three of them? " He asked again, puzzled.
"Any poem or poem can only be understood and not spoken of. You should comprehend the concept within."
Shen Hong said.
Green Eyes was surprised. "Miss Shen, you know poetry?"
"What do I know about poetry? I just feel that writing poems is the same as practicing martial arts, it requires one to be able to comprehend. Practicing martial arts only requires one to be able to practice the form. Writing a poem requires meaning as well. Even if you only write the form, it is likely that you will only be writing a few white lines. "
The green-eyed dwarf cupped his fist and said, "I admire you, I admire you. With this little bit of advice from you, I'm enlightened."
The green-eyed dwarf looked up again at the verses on the rock wall and muttered, "Since it means it, the moon on the wall is the moon in the sky. I stand in the middle of the flowers, making three shadows.
The green-eyed dwarf gestured with his hands. He drew a straight line with the moon on the sculpture, the place where he stood, and his shadow. In the end, the final point landed on the opposite cliff wall.
He walked to the other side and saw a protruding rock at that point. He did not pay attention to it and thought that it was due to the rock itself. However, if he looked carefully, he could see traces of digging.
Xu Dazhi and Wei Ke also followed to take a look. The green-eyed dwarf pointed to the protruding rock and chuckled, "Look, this is the mechanism to open the secret door. He pressed his hand in, but nothing happened.
"Impossible, this pair of shadows into three, the mechanism should be right here." The green-eyed dwarf pressed twice more, but the rock did not move.
"Green Eyed Hero, this pair has three shadows. It needs a condition. You have to stand in the middle of the flowers." Shen Hong reminded.
"But we don't have any flowers here."
Shen Hong pointed to the flowers on the relief, a pine on one side and a plum on the other, and between them was a stone table and a stone bench, exactly three steps from the base of the rock wall. Shen Hong stood between two clusters of flowers, took three steps towards the middle of the cavern, and then raised her hand.
Xu Dazhi hurried over to that spot. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was a piece of rock as big as the moon. It was about the size of a walnut, and because it was the same color as the surrounding rocks, it was almost indistinguishable.
Great Hammer Xu pressed down with his hand, and with a series of creaking sounds, the entire cavern began to spin. Everyone was shocked. They did not know what had happened, but the rotation of the cave was so fast that they could not stand properly.
"What the hell is going on?" Xu Dazhu, why are you pressing so hard? " The green-eyed dwarf spread his legs and cried out.
The chamber spun faster and faster, forming a circular black hole, and all five of them, indexed by the spinning centripetal force, floated up, surrounded by flowing air, listening to the swishing sound beside their ears, but seeing nothing, hearing only the sound of wind in their ears, seeing the huge black hole not spinning upward but downward, the five of them floating down, the green-eyed dwarf trying to reach out and grab at the surrounding rock walls, but the speed was too fast for him to stretch his arms. In the middle of the black hole, the five of them, in the shape of five plum blossoms, dropped some distance, slowed down, slowed down, lost their ability to float as the black hole spun, and fell into a pool of water.
The water in the pool was bone-chilling cold. After soaking in it for a while, their faces turned blue from the cold and their lips turned purple. He struggled in the water for a while before he started to sink. Xu Dazhi could not swim, so he grabbed wildly with both hands, causing the water to splash all over the place.
"What is this place?" It's like a well. " The green-eyed dwarf was good at swimming, so he stepped on the water and looked around.
Shen Hong also discovered that they had fallen into a well. This well was about the size of a circular cavern, so when she first fell into the water, she thought it was a pool.
"What should I do? I can't even climb up if I wanted to." The green-eyed dwarf trembled as he spoke.
"The shrimp is sinking." Wei Ke shouted. When he saw the shrimp sink, he wanted to pull it, but the shrimp's body was very heavy, as if something was dragging it from below. He pulled on it but did not move. Xu Dazhi's hammer thumped a few times before sinking. Shen Hong hurriedly dove into the water to find the shrimp and the sledgehammer. She sank two to three meters into the water, and the water underneath became even colder. She was so cold that she could barely stretch her arms. Strangely enough, she didn't have to row. There seemed to be a suction force pulling her down, and she felt the water moving downward.
What was going on? If this was a well, how could the water flow down? Even if the water really did flow downwards, the water in the well would have already dried up. Shen Hong pondered as he sank.
After sinking about a hundred meters, her body suddenly straightened and the flow of water accelerated. She was washed into a gentle cave, and she seemed to see a black shadow in front of her, which she assumed to be a shrimp or a Xu sledgehammer. She leaned forward a few times and sped up her swimming speed.
Shen Hong continued to speed up and saw another shadow appear in the water. The shadow floated indeterminately, and as she swam closer, she saw a large, pale face. This face was the size of a pot lid. It looked at Shen Hong for a while, then suddenly rushed over while swaying.
