Chengyi is one of those question-answers whose basic theoretical knowledge is strong but whose thinking is not flexible enough.

So here, someone needs to be there to give him a little guidance, so that he can understand it.

For a moment, Cheng Yi's eyes gleamed, he pointed with his hands and murmured, and then started calculating the formation again. This time, his calculation speed was obviously much faster than before, and it was not like the calculation at the beginning where he was pinching his fingers and burying his head.

, but to eliminate the dross and select the essence.

Chen Baiqi looked at him and thought to himself - he is a talent with growth potential and needs to be used.

The movement in front naturally caught Ji Yun's attention. When he saw that Mo Bian was moving faster than before, he lowered his eyes and after understanding what was going on, he stopped looking.

He thought to himself, no matter how hard they struggled at the moment, they would still lose in the end...

At the end, just when Mo Bian was overjoyed and had just one last step to get out of the trap, Mo Xia just came from behind and reached the opposite side first.

In fact, even if Mo Xia's side is slower than Mo Bian and the others, the problem is that everyone on Mo Xia's side is skilled in martial arts. Unlike ordinary people, who take one step at a time, they will not be able to move at all when they reach the last short distance.

There is no need to break the formation, just "fish leaping over the dragon's gate" from the air to reach the other shore smoothly.

In response to this, Nan Yue and Cheng Yi's eyes were like fighting cocks, and their hearts were on fire: "..." Damn it!

Chen Baiqi was not surprised, let alone such a trivial matter, because only she knew that this "game" had not been solved yet, and it was too early to say who would win or lose.

"I, we are here." Miao Yue let out a long breath and looked at Yan Dan and Ji Yun happily.

Yan Dan wiped the sweat from his forehead. The temperature in this place was too high, just like in midsummer, he would sweat all over with the slightest movement.

He glanced at Mo Bian's side, his peach-blossom eyes raised, and a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"In this way... we still win."

Wei Jiyun calmed down. He looked up at the stairway paved with stones that was almost vertical at 90 degrees. The ladder stones were firm and neat, extending straight to the top. On both sides of the stone ladders, there were clusters of lamps.

A stone copper lamp with a retro yet mysterious shape.

Ji Yun withdrew her gaze and looked at Chen Baiqi's side. The young man's expression was peaceful and elegant, and he didn't seem to be disappointed at all. He said in a deep voice: "No, it's not over yet."

Miao Yue fanned herself with her hand and asked in confusion: "Brother Ji, what's not over yet?"

Ji Yun Runmo's eyes moved slightly and said: "This level is not over yet."

Yan Dan was startled for a moment, and then as if he came to his senses, he stopped laughing and licked his dry lips, and looked up at the long stone stairs.

"Brother Ji, let me go up there. The answer...maybe lies ahead."

——

When Chen Baiqi felt Ji Yun's gaze, he turned around, and then saw Ji Yun, Yan Dan and the others continued to climb the stone stairs without stopping. She smiled and then shouted with a look of disappointment on her face, as if she was petrified in the wind.

Nanyue and Chengyi.

She said: "Don't be in a daze, hurry up and follow. This level is not over yet."

"What?!" Nan Yue and Cheng Yi shook off the ashes behind the stone and said in shock.

Chen Baiqi looked at them speechlessly: "If Mo Xia won, why didn't anyone come out to greet them and the door was not open? This shows that this level has not been broken yet."

Nanyue scratched her head and said depressedly: "I've already passed the test, why haven't I won yet?"

Chen Baiqi smiled and said: "So running fast does not mean winning. Being able to win in the end is the key."

Chengyi nodded repeatedly. After hearing that they had not lost, their spirits returned again. He said: "Huanxian, we listen to you, what should we do next?"

Since she commanded and led them through the organizational formation smoothly before, Chengyi and Nanyue subconsciously handed over all the initiative and leadership to her command.

In fact, Chen Baiqi had already had an idea in her mind. She waved to them and asked them to bring their heads over, then she smiled and said: "In a moment, you guys..."

——

By the time Mo Xia and the others saw the stone and wood pavilions standing on the stone stairs, it was almost noon, the sky was gloomy and it was not going to darken, the rain was about to stop, and the temperature was humid and oppressive.

The two-story pavilion is topped with a tower-shaped top and is covered with black wood. The overall color scheme is mainly red, black, and brown, giving people a solemn and majestic feeling.

The plaque on the building in front is written with two words - "Puppet Gate" - "Puppet Gate" with uncanny craftsmanship. The red door below is inlaid with copper and is tightly closed and locked with thick chains.

"Hey, why is there no one? Did we go to the wrong place?" Miao Yue closed the door tightly and saw no one from Mo Xia around, so she began to feel anxious.

Yan Dan didn't like heat, but this place was extremely hot. He couldn't help but feel irritated and said: "What kind of question did Mo Bian side ask? At first, he thought it was just to pass the machine formation, but now it is possible that he has to pass something else."

Only other agencies can see people?"

Just when Mo Xia was helpless and furious, they discovered that Mo Bian and others who were climbing the stone stairs were behaving in some very strange ways.

Miao Yue was confused: "What...are they doing?"

She saw Nan Yi lowering his head and walking slowly, stepping on the floor with his feet step by step. His movements were very meticulous, as if he was using his feet as a broom to sweep, while Nan Yue was touching the stone steps step by step.

He groped for the copper lamps on his shoulders, as if he were cleaning them using his hands as a cloth.

Compared with their weird behaviors, "Chen Huanxian" is much more normal. She walked leisurely and became normal all the way.

She stood not far from Mo Xia and the others, standing with her hands behind her hands. Her robe was swaying in the wind, her hair was as long as ink, and her face was as white as jade.

Her eyes glanced at the "puppet door", a smile filled her eyes, and a sense of calmness and indifference emerged spontaneously.

Her demeanor and leisurely posture made both Yan Dan and Miao Yue fascinated.

No trial disciples approached Mo Xia and others. Ever since Yan Dan said, "Everyone depends on his own ability," a gap has been drawn between them, and each of them has followed this rule.

Chen Bai stood up for a while, then Nan Yue and Cheng Yi came up.

Both of them felt tired, they were sweating all over, and their cheeks were red.

Chen Baiqi looked at them.

"No."

"No."

Nanyue and Chengyi shook their heads in disappointment.

It was like they were playing riddles, saying words that only their team could understand.

"Since you can't find it by physical strength, now you use your brains to see how to solve the problem?"

So the two of them thought hard for a long time, to no avail, and suddenly remembered what Chen Baiqi had said to them before going up the stone staircase.

First of all, to "solve the problem", you must first examine the "question meaning". Then the question is, what is the "question meaning" set by their elders at this level?

Okay, I still don’t understand this at all.

So in the case of "no title", the first thing to do is to "find the title".

Looking for a question?

In the final analysis, the purpose of their coming to Tianfeng Mountain and Purgatory Valley was to enter this mysterious pavilion and meet Mo Bian and Mo Xia Fang, who presented the question this time.

In this case...

Chengyi and Nanyue suddenly realized something.

"Chen Huanxian" once mentioned to them that this question was not asked by Mo Xia Fang, but by Mo Bian.

If their leader, Mo Bian, asked them to solve the problem, how would they solve it?

After all, Mo Bian cannot trick his own disciples. This question must be "civilized" and only requires "brain power" to solve it.

So, when they saw the "Huaimen" with a door that was not allowed to enter, and the talent "Chen Huanxian" specially asked them to pay attention to the stone steps they were walking on and the gaps and secret pavilions that might hide things inside the stone steps, they

I have a conjecture in my mind.

The first step should be to get started.

"I know." Nan Yue suddenly said happily.

Chengyi's expression also suddenly brightened.

Chen Baiqi smiled, knowing that they had guessed it, but...: "Now that we know the meaning of the question, what about solving it?"

Solving problems?

Since the meaning of the question is "getting started", the solution to the question is naturally...the key.

Nanyue scratched her hair anxiously and searched around: "So, where will it be hidden? Lord and Master of Heaven and Earth... could it be..." He suddenly raised his head and looked at the two words "Huaimen" written on it.

He read the words on the plaque, then frowned and thought about it, then shook his head.

No, it won't happen. If they were designed by Mo Bian's teacher, they would know that it is so high and there is no ladder to climb. If Mo Xia's people came to snatch it, wouldn't they be cheating their own disciples?

This must be the "answer" that only Mo Bian can guess, and Mo Xia can't think of it.

"Where will that be?" Nanyue murmured.

Chengyi was also thinking hard on the sidelines.

"Don't just keep your head down and think hard. Maybe you can try to observe the surrounding environment. The clues may not only exist in your mind." Chen Baiqi spoke at this time.

She once worked as a professor, so she is familiar with how to guide and inspire her students.

Nanyue and Chengyi were led by her clear and bright voice in the darkness and chaos, and began to observe their surroundings.

The two-story pavilion standing behind the stone forest has a foundation of black stone. There are no walls, no trees or grass, and there is no trace of any living creatures near it.

Such a place has a wide view, even at a glance, so can the key be safely hidden in this place?
