PS: Today's first update, is it okay to ask for a monthly pass?

"Helper?"

At this time, Yu Feibai said thoughtfully: "It's the monkey that Grandma Lu said just now...... Uh, someone with the surname Hou? ”

"Yes, that's him. He told me all I knew about the agency. Qian Lao nodded and made a call directly from the landline in the hall.

Soon after, the phone was connected, and a gentle voice came out: "Ling Xi? ”

"It's me." Qian Lao smiled and said, "Brother Hou, it's so late, are you going to rest?" ”

"No, I'm still busy."

The other party responded: "It's you, suddenly called me, what should be the matter?" ”

"That's right, I'm looking for your help." Qian Lao didn't hide it, and smiled directly: "And you must be very interested in this matter, tell you, you may come over overnight." ”

"Oh, what a curiosity you have piqued when you say that." The other party was surprised: "Tell me, what is going on." You know, I'm in ...... right now If it was just a trivial matter, I would definitely not ask for leave. ”

"I've got a trap box on hand." Qian Lao smiled and said bluntly: "It's the Qiankun Five Elements Lock, I only cracked the fourth level, and I don't have any clue, so I want to ask you to come out." ”

"Really?"

When the other party heard this, his tone was full of interest: "What is the specific mechanism, you can tell me about it." ”

"The first level is a closed blindfold." Qian Lao explained: "The whole body is smooth, without any ornamentation, ordinary people must think it is a piece of wood when they see it." ”

"It's easy to do." The other party's voice came from the microphone: "Or up and down, or left and right, or diagonal, press it at will, and you can crack it." ”

"I know. It's easy to clear the customs. Qian Lao smiled: "The second level is a little difficult, a bit similar to the Rubik's Cube, and it will be stuck if you twist it wrong once." ”

"It's not that hard."

The other party was stunned and said casually: "I seem to have told you, this kind of mechanism seems complicated, but it is actually very regular. In particular, the trap box can only move around the four corners due to the limitations of its internal structure. It is the four sequences of southeast, south, and northwest, either forward or reverse. Or first positive and then negative, or first reverse and then positive, there are several rules, you can try it casually, and you can definitely clear the customs. ”

"You're right, it's the pros and the backs."

Qian Lao's laughter became more and more intense, and the others were all amazed when they heard it.

For a while, Yu Feibai couldn't help but whisper: "This is Zhang Liang." Or Zhuge Liang? Strategize and win thousands of miles away. ”

"Nonsense, people are experts in this area and have a lot of experience. It's like a senior high school student who has been tortured by the tactics of the sea of questions. As soon as you listen to the question, you will know how to solve it. Wang Guan said softly, somewhat admiring.

At this time, the other party asked again: "What is the third level?" ”

"The third level is the chess lock."

Qian Lao replied: "It was a famous chess game in ancient times, but there were a few extra chess pieces hidden. After pressing these extra pieces, the entire board immediately forms a dense number of holes at 361 points, which is the fourth level ......"

"Oh."

The other party listened. The tone was more and a little cautious: "Take a thin needle and pierce it into the position of Tian Yuan on the chessboard." ”

"Tried, but it didn't work."

Qian Lao shook his head and said: "As soon as you stab it, it will touch the mechanism, and then the mechanism box will automatically reset and become its original appearance." In addition, this thing is not mine, the original owner of the trap box studied it for two years, tried many methods, but it didn't work......"

"It's so hard."

Hearing Qian Lao's retelling, the other party was very surprised, after all, among these methods, there were a few that he wanted to say, but he didn't expect it to work. After a while, he said with interest: "It's not clear on the phone, and it's not easy to crack, so I'll ask for leave to go over." ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Qian Lao hung up the phone, then turned his head and smiled: "Okay, he should be there early tomorrow morning." ”

At this moment, Yu Feibai was also very curious: "Old Qian, what does that friend of yours do, he seems to be very interested in mechanical arts." ”

"When the person comes, you go and ask him yourself." Qian Lao smiled, after all, he was old, and he spent a lot of energy to crack the mechanism box, and when he saw that it was already late, he simply beckoned everyone to rest.

"Good night!"

Greeting each other, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, everyone gathered in the living room again, Yu Feibai held the trap box to figure out how to crack it, and looked at the door of the courtyard from time to time to see if Qian Lao's friend had come.

"Ling Xi!"

Suddenly, a man walked into the courtyard with ease, and called out before he reached the hall.

"Someone is coming."

Hearing the voice, a smile appeared on Qian Lao's face, and he immediately got up and went out to greet him. Naturally, the others would not slack off, and hurriedly followed outside to see the appearance of the person who came.

At first glance, Wang Guan and the others were a little surprised. After all, in their imagination, the strange people who are proficient in mechanical techniques are either thin and inconspicuous old men; Either it is the fairy wind bone, a strange image of a master.

However, at this time, all the above illusions were shattered, and even some were unexpected by everyone. I saw that the man was not tall or thin, on the contrary, he was very rich, his inch-long hair had completely turned white, and his face was white and round like dough, even if he didn't smile, he looked very festive. When you laugh, you feel like the Maitreya Buddha in the temple.

"Brother Hou."

At this time, Qian Lao smiled and walked up quickly to greet him. After a few words of greeting, Qian Lao introduced him to Wang Guan and others.

"Old Hou."

Wang Guan and others also came over to pay their respects.

Hou Lao responded kindly and friendly, and then smiled: "...... Ling Xi, it's still more lively for you here. It's not like I have a place where everyone is busy, and they can't find someone to talk to. ”

"In that case, you should stay a few more days." Qian Lao said with a smile and invited Hou Lao in.

"I'm afraid not, as soon as I'm free, I feel uncomfortable." Hou Lao shook his head, walked to the living room and sat down, his eyes swept and saw the machine box on the table, and immediately saw Hunter Xin and said, "This is it, right?" ”

"That's right." Qian Lao nodded, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, come over and moisten your throat first." ”

"Hmm."

Hou Lao picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and after taking the cup, he directly picked up the trap box and looked at it: "It's so tight, it should be scarce." ”

"Expensive?"

Yu Feibai was not timid, and asked if he didn't understand: "What is it?" ”

"It's something that you use to store valuables." Hou Lao smiled and said: "For example, in the early Northern Song Dynasty, there was a Golden Kui Alliance, have you heard of it?" ”

"In the legend, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's mother, Empress Dowager Du, summoned Zhao Pu into the palace to record her last words when she was dying, and ordered Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to pass on the edict of her younger brother Zhao Guangyi after his death?" Yu Feibai blinked, then pouted: "Is this true or false, or the sound of the candle shadow axe is more reliable." ”

"Hehe, don't care if it's reliable or not." Hou Lao smiled: "Anyway, it is said that the edict is put in the golden box, and the golden box is similar to this organ box, but it must be bigger than this, and the mechanism is more complicated." ”

"Old Hou, have you seen that Jin Kui?" Yu Fei's white eyes lit up, and he was very interested.

Hou Lao smiled, and looked at him: "I want to see how complicated this Qiankun Five Elements Lock is." ”

As he spoke, Hou Lao looked like he had some fat ten fingers, but he turned them very unexpectedly flexibly, and after weighing the mechanism box a little, he easily cracked the first layer of mechanism. The second-layer mechanism is not blocked, and with a slight twist, it can smoothly enter the third-layer mechanism.

At this time, looking at the miniature small chessboard, Hou Lao fell into deep thought.

Seeing this situation, Qian Lao enthusiastically signaled: "Brother Hou, these chess pieces are superfluous existences......

"No, no, no!"

Hou Lao shook his head slightly, and then said with a smile: "You said it more clearly last night, and I also understand the situation." According to what you said, the owner of the trap box has studied for two years, tried several methods, but did not crack the fourth level, and the fourth level does not have any hints, so it fully shows that the third and fourth levels are actually a mandarin duck chain lock. ”

"Mandarin duck chain lock?"

After an instant, Yu Feibai was stunned and said, "Didn't you say that this is the Qiankun Five Elements Lock?" ”

"Feibai, Qian Lao also said that the five elements of Qiankun are just a general term." Wang Guan reminded: "Then it is normal for there to be a lock in the lock. ”

"You're quite right." Hou Lao said with some approval: "The name does not mean anything at all, the key is the setting of the lock." A really clever locksmith, even if it is a relatively simple mandarin duck chain lock, he can also play very complex tricks. ”

Hearing this, everyone was also thoughtful and thoughtful. Obviously, Hou Lao said very reasonably, Zeng Lao was completely lost his temper by this Qiankun Five Elements Trap Box with Mandarin Duck Chain.

"The mandarin ducks are interlocking, and the two levels are interconnected, and it is impossible to solve them independently. So you need to do it all in one go to be able to break through the level. ”

When Hou Lao explained, he also gently pressed a few small black and white dots under the instruction of Qian Lao. In an instant, the small black and white dots on the miniature chessboard all shrank, revealing dense pinholes.

"That's it, if you go in a little probe, you will immediately touch the mechanism, and you don't know how to crack it."

For this level, Yu Feibai had a deep grudge, and after failing more than a dozen times, if it wasn't for others to stop him, he was really ready to smash the trap box towards the wall.

However, an expert is an expert, Hou Lao observed for a moment, and a confident smile appeared on his face: "It's not difficult to ......"

"How to crack it?"

When everyone heard this, they listened attentively.

"You must know that the more complex the mechanism, the easier it is to crack it."

Hou Lao is also quite a good teacher, and after having a spectrum in his heart, he immediately talked eloquently: "Complex design, that is a trick, is used to confuse people's hearts, so that you fall into the maze and cannot extricate yourself" (to be continued............
