Chapter 813: The Design of the Underground Palace
PS: The monthly pass is the driving force, I hope you will continue to support, please.
“…… Complicating simple things and imagining complex things as terrifying is a common problem of smart people. The people who designed the agency took advantage of this psychology of smart people and arranged a maze, which often made people puzzled. ”
At this time, Hou Lao sighed: "It's not the organs that are complicated, but the people's hearts." ”
"That's the truth." At the same time, Qian Lao smiled bitterly: "It's like the master's secret, to put it bluntly, it must be worthless, but when you don't know, it's worth a thousand gold." ”
"It's just ......"
Yu Feibai nodded again and again: "For an expert like Hou Lao, it must be very simple to crack the mechanism, but for those of us, we are still confused, please always advise me." ”
The others nodded one after another, and Fang Mingsheng was even more looking forward to it.
"I just know the trick of cracking it, but I still need your help to check the specific method." Hou Lao smiled, and did not sell the guanzi, and explained directly: "The key is still that chess game, you check, who wins and who loses in this chess game, or where the first step is settled, and how to resolve the second step......"
"Ahh
When everyone heard this, their hearts immediately shook, and suddenly there was a bright feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds.
"Old Qian, what kind of chess game is this?"
Yu Feibai's reaction was very fast, he immediately took out his large-screen mobile phone, searched directly on the Internet, and then quickly got detailed and comprehensive information.
"This is the endgame, in general, whoever plays first wins, black and white first, the first step is to ......" Yu Feibai was afraid that Hou Lao's eyesight would not be good, so he directly read out the content of the information.
"Well, that's it."
Hou Lao nodded slightly, then took out two thin needles, and then under the eager gaze of everyone. Start by gently inserting two thin needles into the holes at the corresponding locations. However, he did not rush to the bottom, but hung slightly.
At this moment, Hou Lao held his breath and concentrated, and the thin needle in his left hand pierced the bottom of the hole first, and when the mechanism was activated, the thin needle in his right hand was also inserted in time and steadily.
"Click!"
Suddenly, the two thin needles fixed the box as if they were the needles of the sea god, and then suddenly cracked in the middle of the miniature chessboard, and then slowly slid to the left and right.
Timely. Everyone also saw it very clearly, and saw a keyhole the size of a soybean appearing.
"It worked."
Seeing this situation, Yu Feibai directly cheered, and the others were also overjoyed. At the same time, there is also a little sigh, the expert shot is really extraordinary, Zeng Lao has studied the lock for two years but has no clue, there is no difficulty in Hou Lao's hands at all, and it is directly solved.
"Don't rejoice too soon."
At this time, Hou Lao also had a little smile on his face. However, he still said calmly: "The last level, it is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say that it is not easy." This should require a special key to open, if there is no key. It's also a nuisance. ”
"Uh......"
A basin of cold water was poured down, and sure enough, most of the happy emotions of everyone dissipated.
There is no doubt that this is an ancient trap box, and it is very rare to be able to pass it down. The keys must have been lost. How to pick the lock naturally becomes a problem.
"It's fine."
At this moment, Yu Feibai suddenly smiled and said, "If it's a modern lock, forget it." But for the ancient locks, Wang Guan has a very good set, let him try it. ”
"Wang Guan?"
The others were stunned and looked at the king one after another.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Wang Guan was a little embarrassed, and he was reluctant to admit that he was a master of lockpicking. The main thing is that the locks can be unlocked in these years, in addition to the experienced locksmiths, they are the heirs of the wonderful hands.
"What nonsense am I talking about." Yu Feibai frowned and said, "I've seen it several times, it's not hard for you to open this kind of lock at all, just one wire." ”
"That's luck, it happened to be ......," Wang Guan argued.
"Alright."
At the right time, Qian Lao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wang Guan, you try it, if it doesn't work, find someone else to help." ”
"Yes, it's definitely not difficult for you." Yu Feibai said with great interest: "I want to know now what is hidden in this trap box. ”
Not only Yu Feibai, but Wang Guan was also very curious, and Qian Lao also spoke, so he no longer refused, picked up the trap box and bowed his head to study.
Of course, taking advantage of the opportunity to cheat is also a necessary thing. After Wang Guan quietly used his special ability, the slightest wisp of breath immediately wrapped the box, and the entire box naturally became very transparent, so the secrets were exposed.
With the help of Yitong, Wang Guan also figured out the structure of the mechanism in the box, which was really amazing. Threads of metal, like hair, spread all around the box, and under the traction of that delicate hub, they completed a very incredible transformation.
The more he observed, the more Wang Guan sighed at the ingenuity of the ancients and deeply regretted it. Such ingenious technology has only been in the hands of a small number of people from beginning to end, and has not been popularized at all, so it is destined to disappear in the long river of history.
Fortunately, Wang Guan did not forget the business, and after cleaning up his mood, he focused on the inside of the box.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, a little distracted.
"How's it going?"
At the same time, Yu Feibai came over and urged: "Don't look at it, you can't see the flowers anymore, even if your eyesight is good, can you still see the internal structure through the small keyhole?" ”
"Oh!"
Under Yu Feibai's reminder, Wang Guan came to his senses, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and then he picked up a long needle from Shanruliu and gently probed it into the keyhole.
Because he was a little absent-minded, Wang Guan acted according to his instincts, forgetting to pretend, and the long needle just flicked a few times at random in the keyhole, and everyone immediately heard a click, and the lid of the box naturally bounced open.
Anyway, the others were not mentally prepared yet, and suddenly saw the box open, and everyone was a little surprised. After half a ring, Yu Feibai was the first to react, patted Wang Guan's shoulder with joy, and praised it: "Haha." I knew you could do it......"
While speaking, Yu Feibai naturally "snatched" the box over, then completely opened the lid of the box, looked down, and suddenly had a surprise on his face: "Sure enough, there is something hidden." ”
"What are you hiding?"
Qian Lao and Hou Lao were very steady, so they naturally wouldn't be in a hurry, but Fang Mingsheng couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly came closer to watch.
On closer inspection, the space in the box is not very spacious, just the size of a matchbox. However, considering the box has a lot of mechanisms. Then the limited interior space is understandable. Of course, the most important thing is that in a space the size of a matchbox, there is indeed a neatly folded object.
"Like a piece of cloth?" Yu Feibai hesitated a little, reached out and touched it, and then carefully pulled it out.
At this time, everyone also saw it clearly and found that the thing was indeed a piece of cloth. As Yu Feibai pulled, the cloth also unfolded, revealing some lines outlined by strokes.
"There's something strange on the cloth. It seems to have drawn something, is it a treasure map? ”
Yu Feibai was not slow to react, and after seeing this situation, he immediately put the box aside. The cloth is then carefully arranged and laid out on the table for everyone to see.
Everyone watched it, but they were quite surprised. Because what is painted on the cloth is not a picture of landscape figures, flowers and birds, let alone a treasure map as Yu Feibai said, but a ruler and line rule. It's a bit like a design sketch of a modern building.
"What is this?"
Yu Feibai looked at it carefully, a little confused: "Are the design drawings of the ancient court?" ”
"Palace ......"
At this moment, Hou Lao exclaimed: "The layout of the underground palace organs." ”
"What?"
Everyone was very surprised, and hurriedly looked at Hou Lao, only to see him take out a magnifying glass, carefully study the graphics on the cloth, and finally concluded: "That's right, this is the design of the dungeon, which not only indicates the location of the main tomb and the accompanying tomb, but also records the location of the trap of the dungeon in detail......
"Not really."
Yu Feibai was very surprised: "What kind of underground palace is this, and there are still design drawings?" ”
"I don't know where the dungeon is, but judging from the specifications, it's at least a prince's level." While studying, Hou Lao explained softly: "As for the design drawings, they are indeed rare under normal circumstances. Because some people, in order to prevent the situation of the underground palace from leaking out, when the underground palace is built, they immediately kill the craftsman and bury him. ”
"Hmph, I've heard about that."
Yu Feibai nodded again and again: "Especially the imperial tombs, many imperial tombs have to be built over the past few hundred years, so the craftsmen have killed one stubble after another." But what makes me wonder is how the official in charge of supervising the construction of the imperial tomb is safe and sound? ”
"Because they are only responsible for supervision, and the hidden weapons in the dungeon are not installed by them."
Hou Lao smiled slightly, and at the same time sighed with emotion: "Do you know why the ancient mechanism technique is gradually lost?" It was because of the wanton killing of emperors and generals. Those who are proficient in this craft will either die, or they will not dare to reveal their identities, let alone pass on the technology to future generations, lest they invite death. ”
In order to prevent their tombs from being invaded by tomb robbers, princes and generals of the past generations naturally set up various defense mechanisms in the tombs to try to prevent tomb robbers from entering. Then I was worried that the mechanic would leak the secret, and it must be a killing. Killing from generation to generation, it is strange that the trick can be passed down.
"Savage, ignorant, stupid......"
Knowing this truth, Yu Feibai couldn't help but curse and sighed. Of course, the object of the curse must be the ancient emperors and generals, and it is because of them that a stunt has been lost, and it must be scolded.
"Stop scolding."
At the right time, Qian Lao said thoughtfully: "In other words, that organ master should also realize that he is in a catastrophe, so he hid the design of the underground palace in the trap box, hoping that future generations will avenge him and dig a grave to vent his anger?" ”
"It's not impossible."
Hou Lao muttered: "It's my words, I know that I will die, and I must leave a backhand ......" (to be continued......)
