Chapter 325: The Key and the Lock
The bronze deer head is only the size of a fist, the design is very exquisite, and the eyes are carved lifelike, not to mention, that pair of antlers really can't be real. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn addition to the clear visibility of every carved line, even if it is exposed to the air all year round, there are few places that are black and dirty.
Xie Jiuli looked strange, "Don't say it, this deer head is probably worth a lot if you put it on sale now." ā
Qian Qian said lightly: "Then do you want to get it down and exchange it for money?"
Xie Jiuli stared at him, "What are you kidding, is this a sentence worthy of seriousness?"
"......"
Xie Jiuli said: "I just tried to turn it, but I found that it couldn't be rotated, and the wrench couldn't be wrenched. ā
"This may be a mechanism, and ordinary methods can't move it." ā
Xie Jiuli frowned, "What then?" he said as he glanced at the deer-headed mechanism.
The delicate bronze deer head looks no different from ordinary ornaments, if you insist on saying the difference, Xie Jiuli thought about it carefully, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and then went to touch the right side of the copper deer head under the antlers, and then his eyes suddenly brightened several degrees. I saw him twist his fingers slightly, and then he heard a "click", like the sound of some parts biting.
After this "click", the bronze deer head began to retreat into the wall. A hollow groove was revealed underneath the deer's head, and a key was placed squarely inside.
Xie Jiuli picked it up and looked at it, and asked sly, "What did you get?"
Xie Jiuli looked left and right, and then pinched the key in front of him, "An ordinary key." He then looked at the wall and said, "But...... Where's the lock? This wall is just a little recessed, but there are no holes in it!"
There is no hole in this, where can the key be inserted?
He pondered for a moment, and then said, "The deer head mechanism is hidden in the outer wall bricks, that is, the key is hidden in the outer wall tiles, so to speak...... The lock should also be inside the exterior wall tiles. I just don't know which exterior brick is under it......"
As she spoke, she approached the wall, then reached out and began to look inside around the groove. I just swept through it and found nothing useful. He tapped his hand on the exterior tiles, and found that each one made the same sound, without the hollow sound of the deerhead mechanism he had found before.
He frowned and said, "Where will this lock be placed?"
Xie Jiuli said: "Oh, when have you touched it like this! I'll come!" he said as he pushed away the sword lightly, stretched out his hands and prepared to search a large area with both hands. "I'll go ......" I don't know what I tripped over, if it weren't for the fact that I reached out and held Xie Jiuli, I would have had a close contact with that wall.
Xie Jiuli couldn't help but look down to see what was the thing that tripped over him. It didn't matter if he looked at it, he only heard Xie Jiuli make a "hey" sound, and then squatted down and let out a "hehe" laugh.
He didn't know why, and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Xie Jiuli pointed to a small bulge on the ground, and then said, "Do you know what it means to step through iron shoes and have nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get there?"
"Where did you find the lock?"
Xie Jiuli said arrogantly: "That's not it!" He pointed to the protrusion under his feet, shaped like a round steel bar that was randomly warped from the ground, even if he looked down, it would not make people think that there was anything. After all, this kind of ground bulge is too much to see in ordinary life. If Xie Jiuli hadn't known that what he was looking for was a lock that didn't know what shape it was but was sure to be a block, then even if this piece of metal was seen, it would just be regarded as construction waste that had not been buried in the soil, and would not have attracted people's attention at all.
Originally, Xie Jiuli also took a look at it and didn't take it seriously. However, there was an arc-shaped groove on the metal object, which looked as if it had been specially carved, so Xie Jiuli squatted down to take a closer look. Unexpectedly, such a whim made him discover the location of the lock!
Xie Jiuli said to Yu Ji: "There is a steel bar protruding from the soil on the ground, but the groove on it matches the shape of the key in our hands. I think that's the lock we're looking for. You wait, I'll verify the results first. ā
Xie Jiuli said it easily, in fact, when he saw this piece of steel bar, Xie Jiuli felt that there must be something in it, and he couldn't help but start admiring himself. "Qiang, do you think I'm a little different now than I was at the beginning?"
The corners of his mouth were raised, and he was still in a faint tone. "You never took your brain with you when you went out before, but now you take the initiative to bring your brain out...... This is not a small step forward. ā
Xie Jiuli said "cut!", and then focused on trying to poke the key in his hand into the groove on the steel bar. The lock was found, and the key was inserted smoothly. Xie Jiuli's face was happy: "It's done." ā
Turning the key, the sound of "click" and "click" sounded one after another.
Xie Jiuli stood up and wondered, "What kind of sound is this?"
"It should be that this door is about to open." However, listening to this voice, it feels as if the mechanism of this stone gate is old, and it does not look like a modern product at all. ā
Xie Jiuli also nodded and said: "Now the electronic lock password lock is so advanced, and it is so difficult to find something that can be solved with just a fingerprint, and it is thought that it is also a twist and turn that people in the past came up with." If you put it aside now, you'll be in trouble. ā
"Since it is the place where Zhang Ruosheng's ancestors have lived for generations, there must be a lot of years. ā
Xie Jiuli looked around, "In the end, it is the ancestral house of the Zhang family, although it has been a little bit old here, at least the repair is not bad." I looked at it all the way, and even if I didn't look at it with professional eyes, I felt that the quality was very good. ā
The stone door looked like a bag that had suddenly been drained of air, and it quickly sank into the deeper wall with the naked eye. And the deeper wall was like a bottomless pit, absorbing the stone gate outside, until the stone gate disappeared in front of Xie Jiuli and Qianxi's eyes. The disappearance of the stone gate is as if it has silently blown out a rectangular gap in the outer wall of the villa that can be passed through by one person.
Xie Jiuli looked at the gate in front of him in surprise, which only appeared in an instant, and it was dark inside the door that he couldn't see anything. "Has Shimen been eaten?"
"Do you think it's possible?"
Xie Jiuli shook his head mechanically, "I don't think there should be anything...... There will be such a good tooth opening. ā
