Chapter 445: Unboxing
"This line of thinking should be correct. Lin Fengcao nodded, "These three small balls, among the nine balls, the year is the shallower, if it is arranged in this way, the golden ball is one, the turquoise ball is two, the coral ball is three, and the rest is from shallow to deep according to the year, and the four five, six, seven, eight and nine are discharged, which can correspond to the grid of the nine palaces of the day after tomorrow!"
Yu Yao couldn't help but sigh, "Why is it really painstaking, old man! A small organ box not only examines the eyesight, but also examines the overall situation. In order to protect the things inside, it was more appropriate to leave it to the big palm eye later!"
If we follow this line of thinking, the order of the nine balls from one to nine can be determined in this way:
One is a golden ball, two is a turquoise ball, three is a coral ball, and the rest, according to the year from light to dark, the longest time interval is naturally nine. The fourth is the Hetian white jade ball, the fifth is the red sandalwood ball, the sixth is the agate ball of the pharmacist, the seventh is the beeswax ball, the eighth is the porcelain ball, and the ninth is the crystal ball.
On the nine-square grid, two four is the shoulder, six or eight is the foot, the left three is the right seven, the nine shoes are one, and the five are in the center; the nine small balls are put in one by one in the order from one to nine.
This idea still sounds very reliable.
At least Yu Yao and Lin Fengcao felt that this should be the case. However, none of them offered to try it immediately.
After all, you only get one chance.
Therefore, both of them are also thinking about whether to inform all the heirs, discuss this matter together, discuss this idea, and then implement it.
At this time, it was actually dark, but neither of them had the slightest sense of hunger.
At this moment, the copper box placed on the table suddenly made a rustling sound!
Yu Yao and Lin Fengcao immediately looked at it, but found that the nine-square grid on the surface seemed to be slowly sinking!
The speed of sinking is extremely slow, and it is difficult to feel intuitively with the naked eye, but because the four sides and four edges of the surface are originally tightly seamed, in the rustling sound, you can vaguely see the tiny gaps!
"Not good!" Yu Yao shouted, "After opening the copper sheet and taking out the small ball, it is likely that a mechanism has been activated inside!"
"It seems that there is a time limit for breaking the mechanism!" Lin Fengcao gritted his teeth, "This old man, he has calculated too deeply!"
"It's extremely important, he has to!" Yu Yao said, and picked up the golden ball!
When the interruption continues, it is chaotic.
Now that the mechanism has been activated, I don't know how long it will take to activate it will have irreparable consequences, so I can only try it immediately!
Yu Yao picked up the golden ball and put it into the round hole in the middle of the bottom row.
There was a crunch sound when the gold ball and the copper hole collided, and then there was a sliding sound after it fell to the bottom, and then the original rustling sound was gone!
The nine-square grid also seems to be still.
"This shows that the position and order of the golden balls are correct! And the golden balls are the heaviest, and the first to put them is the first to be released, I am afraid that it also has the role of a stabilizing mechanism!"
Yu Yao said, picked up the turquoise ball again, and put it into the round hole in the upper left corner of the nine-square grid!
After a bang, everything was normal.
Lin Fengcao watched from the side, and there was no way to help, the two of them were easy to mess up, and the delivery of the small balls should have been in order.
Yu Yao put the coral ball into the round hole in the middle of the left side of the nine-square grid.
Then, he put the Hetian white jade ball into the round hole in the upper right corner, the red sandalwood ball into the round hole in the center of the Jiugong grid, the medicine agate ball into the round hole in the lower left corner, the beeswax ball into the round hole in the middle of the right side, and the porcelain ball into the round hole in the lower right corner.
The last crystal ball is placed in the middle of the top row.
After finishing, Yu Yao and Lin Fengcao almost held their breath and stared at the copper box.
After about a dozen seconds of silence, the sound of Kerala was heard inside the copper box.
Smack!smack!······
The rivet-like structures on all sides of the copper box popped out one after another, revealing eight relatively thin copper pillars.
After the copper pillar popped out, the four edges at the top flipped outwards in unison, and then, the nine-square grid on the surface rose!
It rose about two centimeters, and four gaps were revealed around the top of the copper box.
After that, the entire copper box stopped making a sound.
Yu Yao and Lin Fengcao glanced at each other, slapped each other, and smiled slightly.
Looking at it now, the Nine Balls should be placed correctly, and this Nine Palace Organ Copper Box should be cracked!
However, neither of them acted rashly, and waited for a while. Judging from the four gaps exposed, it seems that there is still an inner box inside, and nothing can be seen from the outside.
Yu Yao took two steps back and lit a cigarette, "In this way, after smoking this cigarette, if there is no movement, we will do it." ”
"Okay!" Lin Fengcao agreed, and sat aside instead.
After smoking a cigarette, the copper box had not moved, so Yu Yao first grabbed the edge of the rising nine-square grid copper plate and tested it.
After trying it, it was very loose.
This is a copper plate that can be removed directly. Below the four corners of the copper plate, there are four copper pillars, and under the nine round holes, there are also vertical short copper tubes. Before the mechanism is opened, there should be a bearing underneath these short brass pipes.
After removing it, the structure of the copper box can be seen at a glance. In the center is a small wooden box, surrounded by intricate copper pieces. Among them, the copper pillar under the copper plate was originally connected to the four pipe grooves below. And the nine small balls, which were not visible for a while, should have entered the inside of the bronze mechanism.
Yu Yao and Lin Fengcao couldn't understand the bronze mechanism, but they could see that there were some sharp flakes and needles in the complex structure. Presumably, if you forcibly open the box and the mechanism is activated, you can destroy the small wooden box in the middle.
Yu Yao looked at the wooden box, which was made of basswood. The hardness of basswood is not high, but it is relatively dense and has strong corrosion resistance.
After seeing it clearly, Yu Yao reached out and gently took out the small wooden box from the copper box.
The structure of this basswood box is very simple, there is no hinge, it is a heaven and earth cover, and the lid can be picked up directly.
When the lid is removed, there is a tightly pressed layer of cotton inside.
Uncovering the cotton cloth, there are two square troughs, one large and one small, and there is a wooden box in them, which are also all of basswood, also one large and one small, the small one is five centimeters square, and the large one is ten centimeters square.
The two wooden boxes were stuck tightly, and it took Yu Yao some time to take them out and put them on the table one by one.
"Which one to see first?" Yu Yao rubbed his hands and looked at Lin Fengcao.
Lin Fengcao pointed to the small one, "If I guessed correctly, it should be 'ghost eyes piercing water'!"
Yu Yao nodded and opened the locket.
Sure enough, it was "ghost eyes piercing water". On the front is a familiar grimace, and on the back there is only a small seal "water" character.
"I'll put it away first!" put away the "Ghost Eye Piercing Water", Yu Yao pointed to the larger wooden box, "Come on! This has always been my hands." ”
Lin Fengcao smiled, didn't refuse, and opened a larger wooden box.
The first thing that catches your eye is an envelope folded in half.
