Well now, let me tell ya’ll about this Luhua Pool puzzle. It ain’t as hard as milkin’ a cow with one hand, but ya gotta use yer head a little, ya know?
First off, what in tarnation is this Luhua Pool anyways? Sounds fancy, but it’s just a big ol’ pond, like the one back home where the ducks like to paddle. ‘Cept this one’s got some kinda magic stuff goin’ on, with them pillars and all.
So, the puzzle, right? It ain’t like them fancy jigsaw puzzles them city folks do. This one’s got to do with them fire thingies, Pyro pillars they call ’em. Sounds like somethin’ outta a book, don’t it? Anyways, ya gotta light ’em up.
There’s these stone pillars standin’ around like a buncha gossiping old hens. And in front of ’em, you got these unbroken Pyro pillars, lookin’ all important. Ya gotta find three of ’em that ain’t broke, and light ’em up. How? Well, I ain’t sure exactly, some kinda fire magic I reckon. Maybe ya gotta use a torch, or maybe ya just gotta poke ’em with a stick and say some magic words, I dunno.
Once you get them three fire thingies lit up, the whole shebang starts glowin’ like a firefly on a summer night. Then, poof! That magic seal thingy disappears quicker than a fly on a hot skillet. And then… well, I reckon somethin’ good happens. Maybe ya get a treasure, or maybe a door opens up, or maybe a frog turns into a prince. Who knows? That’s the fun of it, I guess.
Now, some folks say there’s different kinds of puzzles at Luhua Pool. Some say it’s like them number puzzles, ya know, where ya gotta fill in the squares with numbers from one to five. Like doin’ yer taxes, only more fun, I guess. They call it a 5×5 grid. Sounds like somethin’ ya’d use to catch fish, not solve a puzzle. But I ain’t never seen that kinda puzzle at Luhua Pool myself. Maybe it’s in a different part of the pond, or maybe them city folks are just makin’ things up again.
- Find the unbroken Pyro pillars.
- Light them up (somehow).
- Watch the magic seal disappear.
- Maybe get a prize, maybe not.
Then there’s talk about sortin’ things by shape and color. Reminds me of sortin’ beans for supper. Red beans in one pile, white beans in another. But how that fits into the Luhua Pool puzzle, I ain’t rightly sure. Maybe ya gotta sort them pillars, or maybe ya gotta sort some other thingamajigs you find lyin’ around.
Some folks even say there’s a fella named Vermeer hangin’ around the ruins. Says he needs help findin’ his supplies. Maybe that’s part of the puzzle too. Maybe ya gotta help him before ya can light them fire thingies. Or maybe he just wants a hand carryin’ his stuff, like my old man used to ask me. Always somethin’ needs doin’, ain’t it?
Anyways, the main thing is to get there early. Don’t want a bunch of folks crowdin’ ya, pushin’ and shovin’ like they’re tryin’ to get the last biscuit at a church supper. Go early, take yer time, and use yer common sense. It ain’t rocket science, ya know. Just a little puzzle to keep ya entertained for a spell. And if ya get stuck, just ask around. Somebody’s bound to know the answer. Or maybe just poke around ’til somethin’ happens. That’s usually how I figure things out anyways.
So, that’s the lowdown on the Luhua Pool puzzle, as best as I can tell ya. It ain’t the hardest thing in the world, but it ain’t the easiest neither. Just keep yer eyes peeled, use yer head, and don’t be afraid to get yer hands dirty. And maybe bring a snack, just in case it takes ya a while.
Remember, patience is a virtue, especially when dealin’ with magic and puzzles and such. And if ya still can’t figure it out, well, there’s always more important things in life, like makin’ sure the chickens are fed and the garden’s watered.
