Chapter 650

【Hahaha, Yang Kuishou's expression is just too cute.】

【Could this be a tacit admission? Is good news on the way?】

【It's not that easy. We still have to keep working hard.】

Some things clearly don't exist, but the fear is that people will echo what they hear. Perhaps some kind of guidance or joke could become the fuse that triggers the final outcome.

Fortunately there are still the answers and mechanisms that follow to keep people guessing; otherwise, who knows what these people might come up with in their discussion.

Inside the New Moon Restaurant, Zhang Lin regained his serious expression and said, "The next three-layered design that follows—every step is crucial. It requires three people to proceed in sync, and the difficulty of each of these three locations is different."

"First, following the order of the first layer, it is the Southern Dipper's six stars in the sky. This serves as a trigger for the mechanism inside the coffin, and the point to open it is at Jingkou."

Originally Zhang Lin had wanted to wait until he had laid a solid foundation at this spot before speaking, but because of the impact of what had happened earlier, he had to bring it out quickly—only then could the pace be fully pulled back on track.

Sure enough, the moment these words were spoken, everyone was dumbfounded.

Some even couldn't believe their own ears.

In fact, everyone was thinking about the problem with a kind of inertial thinking. Even if their lines of thought differed, the general direction was more or less the same.

This is precisely what is meant by "different paths, same destination."

There's another saying: "The player is confused, but the bystander sees clearly," and it fits perfectly here.

These people watching the livestream all seem like outsiders, but through their interaction with Zhang Lin's narration, they had long since pulled themselves into the story.

So these people who considered themselves bystanders had, in a certain sense, already become players within it.

And they themselves were not even aware of this.

Yet every time Zhang Lin said something and their hearts tensed along with it, that was actually the moment that confirmed the truth of the matter.

The key lies in their caring mindset. The reason no one could accept it when Zhang Lin said the first checkpoint was at Jingkou was that they had already pulled themselves into the tomb.

Yet Zhang Lin had previously pointed out that this final mechanism was especially difficult, without giving any detailed explanation.

There was also that little interlude earlier, so a certain amount of time had been delayed.

The crux is why the starting point of the final mechanism is not within this coffin.

Everyone had already taken it for granted that only by opening the Prince of Gumo's coffin would they get the pointer to the final mechanism.

So it came quite naturally to them that all the difficulty lay inside the coffin and had nothing to do with any other place.

But Zhang Lin's words undoubtedly negated this point.

【I really am a pig's brain, tied down by my own thinking.】

【It's not just you—no one could have thought of this.】

At this moment, someone suddenly posted a link to another livestream room in the barrage.

The title was quite interesting: just as he had expected, the location of the starting point of the final mechanism.

【Heh!】

No one clicked in to look, not even those who loved watching the excitement.

This kind of attempt to ride the wave of popularity was just too clumsy. Even though the livestream had a delay, everyone had already caught on.

It was obviously just playing to the gallery.

Zhang Lin Has Already announced this answer—what's the point of you saying "just as you expected"?

The crowd's reaction was naturally within Zhang Lin's expectations.

Then he said leisurely, "I know what you're all thinking—why isn't it inside the coffin, but back at the very starting point?"

Inside the New Moon Restaurant, everyone subconsciously nodded.

"This is also where the Prince of Gumo's arrangement is ingenious. For this tomb, we must look at it as a whole. The information recorded on the murals is one part."

"The cell above is one part, and the final part is still within the tomb chamber. So we can understand it as: from that Jingkou, we had already entered the Prince of Gumo's tomb."

"If we follow our original understanding of the tomb chamber, it can be considered a corridor."

"Through the corridor we see the cell, and through the cell we reach the true tomb chamber. The combination of these three is what the Prince of Gumo expressed as three imaginary spaces."

"In these three different spaces, we will encounter different things."

"Below Jingkou there is water, above Jingkou there is desert. Crossing the water flow, we see a stretch of Shoupifeng Sect."

"And after passing through that gate, there is again a cell laid out in the pattern of the Eight Trigrams, with both the boundaries of life and death fully present. This too is the embodiment of one yin and one yang."

The more Zhang Lin spoke, the more abstruse it became; a great big question mark hung over everyone's head.

Still, Zhang Lin felt he had already explained it very clearly. Some things can be conveyed in plain language.

But some things absolutely cannot—just as with explaining these now.

The stars of the Zhou sky correspond to that Jingkou, and below Jingkou corresponds to the Prince of Gumo's ultimate purpose.

Although Zhang Lin hadn't intended to explain, he thought of another interesting matter that bore a certain similarity to the situation of the Prince of Gumo's tomb this time!
