To solve the puzzle and unravel the mystery of Tai Chi WWMplayers need rotate the earth and sky devices in opposite directions during production water and fire are opposed to each other. The device can be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise. In addition, the Yin-Yang wheel can also be rotated.

First, approach the machine (3) in front of the green leaves and tree roots where you shoot the fire arrow and rotate it once counterclockwise to face the wall.
Machine on the opposite side (4) it's already facing the wall, so don't rotate it. These two things are heaven and earth.
Second, approach the Yin-Yang dial and turn it once to stop the movement of fire and water.
Next, turn the contraption between the two candle shelves (2) once counterclockwise and move to the one opposite it (1) to rotate clockwise twice. These two are creations of fire and water. Spin the Yin-Yang Wheel one more time to solve the Tai Chi Mysteries puzzle and unlock the way down.
