The wind struck the stone wall and was bounced back, and when it reached the bookcases, desks, and chairs, it was reflected back as well.
But as it wrapped around the floor, they discovered that one of the stone tiles did not reflect back the wind—it allowed air to pass through.
Li Wenli suddenly opened his eyes.
The flow of wind that Li Wenli used operated on the same principle as Bai Junjun’s utilization of plants and her Special Ability to detect carbon dioxide concentration to determine the presence of ambushes in the vicinity—both relied on the perception of Special Abilities to sense their surroundings.
Although they were based on the same principle, their applicable targets and scopes were different.
Bai Junjun’s was suitable for detecting living people, while Li Wenli’s was suitable for secret chambers.
No wonder H base was good at street and phantom warfare—it turns out their Special Ability was really useful!
By that logic, ancient mechanisms posed no challenge at all to Li Wenli!
They say many ancient tombs of kings and high officials—could it be...
While Bai Junjun was contemplating a future in tomb raiding as a side business with Li Wenli, Li Wenli was already seriously considering how to open the secret passage.
However, with no visible mechanisms around, Li Wenli’s attention eventually landed on the disheveled Sand Table.
With a whoosh, he peeled away the already messy Sand Table, and indeed, he saw that there were many small holes in the bottom layer of the Sand Table.
It turns out the true purpose of this Sand Table lay here.
It seemed that even if he had not messed up this Sand Table, the information on it would still have been incorrect.
Li Wenli finally had a smile on his face.
He thought, how could he, with his exceptional intelligence, make such a basic mistake! It was impossible.
As for someone’s inexplicable smugness, Bai Junjun simply shrugged, unable to understand.
Li Wenli didn’t care and, after reveling in his pride, refocused his attention on the Sand Table.
Underneath the Sand Table were numerous little holes, the purpose of which was unknown.
"Could it be related to these flags?" Bai Junjun pointed at small flags that had been scattered to the side.
Li Wenli found the idea sensible, so Bai Sasa and he began to gather the flags, and soon, they had collected all twenty-eight flags.
Li Wenli pondered over the twenty-eight flags he held; in his recollection, the only thing associated with the number twenty-eight was the Twenty-Eight Constellations.
Could it be that these flags needed to be inserted into their corresponding stellar positions?
Li Wenli’s conjecture received Bai Junjun’s endorsement.
So, the two began to engage in an intellectual challenge.
This time, what both of them needed to utilize was not their own knowledge but the knowledge of their original selves.
The so-called constellations are divisions of groups made by the ancients based on the naked-eye-visible stars in the sky, serving as markers to observe the movement patterns of the sun, moon, and the five planets of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
In fact, the Twenty-Eight Constellations were not merely twenty-eight stars; in the ancients’ constellation map, each constellation was made up of hundreds of stars.
However, they extracted the most important connecting points to act as representatives, so it was called the Twenty-Eight Constellations.
Furthermore, these Twenty-Eight Constellations were divided into four stellar groups, each with seven constellations that formed different shapes and were scattered in different directions across the sky.
For example, the seven constellations in the East formed a dragon, hence the name Eastern Azure Dragon; the seven in the North intertwined like a turtle and a serpent, hence the name Northern Black Tortoise; the seven in the South formed a bird, hence the name Southern Vermilion Bird; and the seven in the West formed a tiger, hence the name Western White Tiger.
Each constellation had its own Star Palace, its own name, as well as its own associated color and position.
The complexity of it all was such that a tiny deviation could lead to a significant misstep, deviating by "Thousand Miles."
