"Xue Laojiao, hehe, I heard that we were coming, and I scared you. Xiaobao stood on Li Xun's shoulder and sneered.

Xue Bodhisattva's face did not change, and he pretended to be calm and said: "Come on, come here, old acquaintances meet, why be frightened? ”

Xiaobao tapped the ground with his beak: "It's quite similar, but why did the teapot break?

Xue Bodhisattva turned his head to look at the ground, but it was the purple sand teapot that he had been frightened and broken just now, the ground was in a mess, and he was just tidying up just now, and it was too late to clean it.

Immediately, his face turned red, but he immediately dissipated, and sat there without speaking.

Li Xun yawned, found a random place to sit down, and said, "There's nothing else to do with you, don't keep thinking about it, if I want to clean you up, can you still live to this day?"

These words hurt his face, and Xue Erliu, who was standing with his head down, had anger in his eyes, but he could only pretend not to hear it.

Xue Bodhisattva was also a little angry, but after hearing Li Xun say this, he was inexplicably relieved.

He knew in his heart that he was cowardly.

"Tell me, what's the matter. Xue Bodhisattva pretended to be calm and calm, pretending not to understand anything.

Li Xun leaned back on his legs, and said lightly: "I just came back from Daxinganling." ”

"And then?"

"Remember that dragon python from the past? Oh yes, you didn't go. ”

When Xue Bodhisattva heard this, he sat up straight: "I remember, didn't you say dead?"

"Well, it's dead, no one has seen the corpse, fake death, and resurrected. ”

Xue Bodhisattva's face immediately changed drastically: "It's alive again? It still has two lives? Can it still live if the thunder strikes?"

Li Xun smiled and groaned, but did not speak.

Xiaobao said disdainfully: "What else can I do? ”

Xue Bodhisattva's pupils shrank, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, only that Li Xun's skills were getting better and better now, and he could slay the dragon alone.

That Xue Erliu had never seen the big snake, but he knew about the dragon python, and as soon as he heard about it, even the dragon python asked Li Xun to slaughter. A sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in my heart.

The second uncle is right, if he really wants to kill someone, there is no second way except to run.

But he even brought the bow, and he didn't have a place to run.

Li Xun groped in his arms for a while, took out the jade box, and said to Xue Bodhisattva: "If you get something, you open the lock." ”

Xue Bodhisattva was stunned, looked at the jade box, and his eyes were full of doubts. At this time, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance and rushed into his nose, and his eyes immediately widened: "This is ......"

As he spoke, he hurriedly lowered his voice and said tremblingly: "Relic?"

Li Xun didn't answer, but said, "Can you open it?" I've tried it, this ancient man-made lock is really a bit strange." I looked for several lockpickers, but none of them worked. Except for the strong break, it can't be. ”

Xue Bodhisattva picked up the jade box, looked at the golden lock, and after a while, frowned and said, "This is not a contemporary circlip lock, this is a mechanism lock." This is at least the guy before the Yuan Dynasty, right? After the Yuan Dynasty, this thing was lost. ”

"Yes, before the Yuan Dynasty, it seemed to be from Western Liao. By the way, what is a trap lock?"

"Do you know the wood-flowing cows and horses? That's the truth, it's the Mo family's trick. This keyhole isn't meant to be used for unlocking at all, it's a trap. ”

Xue Bodhisattva Zhengse said: "Fortunately, you didn't forcibly break the lock. This lock can't be broken, it's a disguise, once the lock is broken, the things inside won't be destroyed, the ancients weren't stupid enough to set up a self-destruct device, and this is still a treasure. So, this lock is not actually a lock. ”

"What's not a lock?"

"You see, there's a keyhole here, and that's what you were meant to open it for. But in fact, this is not a keyhole at all, eighty percent of this golden lock is filled with poison gas, and ninety percent of this golden lock may be a poison sac. It doesn't matter what you use, as long as you penetrate it, you will definitely puncture the poison sac.

I don't know how toxic it is, if it's highly toxic, then none of them will survive. ”

Li Xun and Xiaobao gasped, thinking about this, they not only felt scared for a while.

Fortunately, the lock was not opened rashly, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xiaobao said: "Don't force it, can you open it?"

Xue Bodhisattva nodded: "Yes." ”

"Then you get out of the way. ”

Xue Bodhisattva said: "Erliu, find me a needle, it should be thin, the finer the better." ”

"Got it. ”

Xue Erliu left immediately.

Li Xun frowned and said, "Use a needle to pick the lock?"

"No, it's a needle looking for a keyhole. ”

Xue Bodhisattva picked up the jade box, pointed to the irregular lines on the jade box and said: "This golden lock is simply a disguise, and the real lock is the jade box itself." The jade box itself is a lock. If you look at the pattern on the top, you must think that this is the natural pattern on the top of the jade, right? Wrong, this is the gap in the buckle of the mechanism. ”

Li Xun's eyes widened: "Organ buckle?"

"Yes, you can understand that this jade box is not a whole at all. Rather, it is made up of countless jade pieces that can be buckled together with each other. Just like building blocks, any shape and any whole that comes out of the building blocks is actually made up of small pieces one by one.

This one too, but this jade piece is so exquisitely made that you can't see it at all, and you can't feel the countless gaps between them. ”

"It's amazing!" Xiaobao was also surprised.

"No, how many years has this lock been lost. Legend has it that Lu Ban invented it. It's a pity, I'll only be able to drive it at most, but it's impossible to restore it at all. ”

"Can you drive, don't you understand the principle?"

"You nonsense, if you drive, you will definitely build a car?"

Xue Bodhisattva said again: "If it is opened, give me this box." ”

Li Xun waved his hand: "You can take it." I'm just looking at it, the box is useless to me. ”

The two were talking, and after a while, Xue Erliu walked over with a large handful of silver needles of various colors.

Xue Bodhisattva picked out a cow hair needle for acupuncture, put on reading glasses, held the needle in one hand, and fumbled for the jade box with the other.

While groping, he said: "This box is a cube, you look like a cube, but it is actually composed of hundreds or thousands of small jade pieces connected to each other.

According to the algorithm of the nine-square grid, in one of the sides of this cube, there are nine squares and nine large grids. In each large grid, there are nine small cells. Nine jade pieces form a large grid, and the nine large grids are connected to each other to form a face of the cube. ”

"Ninety-nine eighty-one, one side is eighty-one pieces of jade. It is impossible to have more, and if there are more, the jade pieces will be too small, and the ancients can't make them so fine. Then this box is six sides, and from here I can preliminarily analyze that this jade box is at least made of 486 small jade pieces. ”

"The way to open the box is very simple.

Because the jade piece and the jade piece are connected to the buckle, there is a starting point and an end point. Start from the starting point, after fighting all the faces, you have to return to the starting point, and the end point and the last piece of jade at the starting point are connected again. The piece of jade, press it in, or pull it out, and the box opens.

Therefore, the way to unlock the lock is to find the most critical piece of the past and the future among the 486 jade pieces that cannot be distinguished at all. ”

Xue Bodhisattva studied the trap lock at this time, his eyes were bright, he ignored the existence of everything at all, and there was only such a trap lock in his eyes.

Li Xun and Xiaobao, including Xue Erliu, were stupid on the side.

With such a seemingly simple jade box, who would have thought that the complexity of it would make people hurt so much?! )
