Chapter 181: A Painstaking Work
Mo Xiang gently brushed the green silk in his ears, and said in a deep voice: "According to the genealogy, more than three hundred years ago, when the Chu State was established, my ancestors lived here, and this Mo family mansion was built by the ancestors and the clansmen together.
Speaking of this, she paused slightly, and said, "Before the ancestor passed away, he left a sentence, if the box is not opened, people will not leave the city, so for three hundred years, our Mo family has stayed in the city only because of this wooden box." ”
Fang Ling was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this wooden box to have such an important significance, so he said, "Thank you Miss Mo for telling me such a secret thing." ”
As he spoke, he thought more deeply, since this wooden box has a history of more than three hundred years, the person who wants to open it is definitely not Mo Xiang alone, and perhaps there are people from the Mo family who have spent their lives studying this thing, but they have not found a way to open the box.
Although this was an understatement, the heaviness that was revealed in it also made Fang Ling feel a lot of pressure. Starting
After hearing this, Mo Xiang said with a solemn expression: "Since I have a request from Fang Gongzi, I will naturally tell you what I know, because any little clue may be able to find a way to reach the box." ”
Fang Ling secretly said that she was very smart, so she said: "But at this time, I will estimate that 'touching' will not solve this problem, and I can't take such an important thing away, so please Miss Mo prepare a guest room for me, so I can think about it inside." ”
So, Mo Xiang led Fang Ling to the side courtyard, there were rooms on all sides of this courtyard, but it looked deserted, and it seemed that no one lived in it for a long time.
After taking him into a small room, Mo Xiang said, "This side courtyard is where the elders of the clan live, and it has been empty since he died. Fang Gongzi is studying here, no one will come to disturb him, I will let Xiaoqing wait outside, if there is anything, you can just tell me, the little woman is in the study not far from here, Fang Gongzi can let Xiaoqing come to me at any time. ”
Fang Ling nodded, and after Mo Xiang left, he closed the door, opened a window facing the courtyard wall, and sat on a stool, staring at the ironwood box on the table.
Thinking about it, time passed like flowing water, seeing that noon was approaching, but there was no clue, the most obvious feature of this ironwood box was that the six sides were cut out of a square straight line, so that it formed a square.
Knowing that this block must be related to the opening of the box, but he couldn't find any tricks, Fang Ling even thought about whether it had anything to do with the lines on this ironwood, however, these patterns were pure and natural, and they were by no means artificially forged, so it was impossible to set them as mechanisms. Starting
In the end, he thought about it, so he just went to Huo Junyuan to find a way, compared to himself, Huo Junyuan has more extensive knowledge, and he has heard all kinds of strange things, maybe he can figure out this method of opening the box.
After thinking about it, he simply took out the Cun Ding, and fell into it as soon as he jumped up, and came to the Cun Ding space, the pure air made Fang Ling take a long breath.
Seeing Fang Ling coming, Huo Junyuan, who was meditating cross-legged on the side, opened his eyes, looked at him with a light smile, his eyes fell on the ironwood box he was holding, and said with interest: "What a thousand-year-old ironwood box, this thing is very difficult to see, where did the second brother get such a treasure?"
Fang Ling secretly said that he had sharp eyes, so he told the Mo family about it, and Huo Junyuan listened while taking the ironwood box.
Although he is a soul body, he still has the ability to touch real objects, so it is very easy to pick up the ironwood box.
After reading this box carefully, Huo Junyuan thought thoughtfully for a while before he said firmly: "This thing is a Thousand Locks Xuanji Box. ”
"Thousand Locks Xuanji Box?" Fang Ling was overjoyed when he saw that he recognized this thing.
Huo Junyuan said: "This box was created by a master of organs thousands of years ago, and it is said that it has long been lost to the world, but I didn't expect that there are still people who know how to make it. On the surface, the outside of this box is divided into dozens of squares, in fact, there are smaller blocks inside, these blocks are combined with each other in a special structure, forming a structure of locks, the number of thousands, thousands of locks are interlocking, if you want to forcibly destroy, it will produce a chain reaction, destroy the things stored in it. ”
Fang Ling was secretly exclaimed when he heard this, there was such a mystery hidden in this box that didn't seem to be fine, if it was to be constructed into a thousand locks, it would take more wooden blocks to do it? Moreover, it would take a thousand years of iron and wood to cut into so many small squares, how could it be done by ordinary people? It shows that this ancestor of the Mo family is really proficient in some tricks.
He immediately asked, "Since Brother Huo recognizes the origin of this Thousand Locks Xuanji Box, I don't know what this method of unlocking is?"
Huo Junyuan shook his head slightly and said: "I have only heard of this Thousand Locks Xuanji Box, and this is the first time I have seen it, and as for this lock-picking technique, I only know a few words." ”
Speaking of this, he picked up the ironwood box again and said, "The mystery of this box is indeed on this block, but it is not as Miss Mo imagined that the box can be opened by squeezing it just by the combination of blocks. You must know that each of these blocks corresponds to a lock, and behind the lock corresponds to other blocks, the locks are interconnected, complementing each other, just like the golden soup city, firm and unbreakable. ”
Fang Ling was so smart, as soon as he heard this, he immediately understood what Huo Junyuan meant, and said: "Big brother, it can't be cracked from the outside, and the way to crack it should be inside." But this internal crack ......"
As soon as he thought of this, his eyes lit up, Huo Jun saw that he could understand everything, and he didn't need to say anything, smiled slightly, and continued to practice cross-legged.
Fang Ling picked up the fine iron knife on the ground, turned out the inch, pressed his hands on the iron wooden box, and accumulated the moon yin ice energy on the ten fingers, with the movement of his mind, the ten ice forces automatically found the gap of the square like life, and drilled hard into it.
Millennial ironwood is not an ordinary wood product, it can be called a spiritual object, but all spiritual things have the gas of heaven and earth, such as spiritual grass with the breath of grass and trees, and this thousand-year-old ironwood naturally has a strong golden and stone qi, just like a master who releases the true qi of the body, it is not easy to let the moon yin ice force drill into.
However, Fang Ling's cultivation has reached the Qi Melting Realm, and he has recently followed Huo Junyuan to cultivate Palm Thunder, not only is the Qi of Heaven and Earth more refined, but he also has more experience in the release of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, so he has adopted the Moon Yin Ice Strength.
Each of the Qi of Heaven and Earth brings special abilities, and the incineration energy possessed by the Sun Fire Energy is very effective against the Qi of the Golden Stone, however, if the Sun Fire Energy is used to force it in, it is likely to cause the instinctive resistance of the Qi of the Golden Stone, thus initiating the self-destruction of the Thousand Locks Xuanji Box.
Compared to the vigor of the sun's fire, the moon's ice energy can be as thin as silk, and it is extremely sharp, and it can penetrate through the gaps in the energy of gold and stone. Update the fastest mobile phone: ://
Ten strands of Moon Yin Ice Energy dispersed into wisps of ice silk, and drilled into the box from various gaps, in order to control these ice wires steadily, Fang Ling's whole body naturally exuded a huge Moon Yin Ice Energy, and the snowflake-like chill spread all over his body, making the temperature of the entire room drop sharply.
At this time, Xiaoqing was delivering food, heard the movement in the door, looked through the crack in the door, and saw Fang Ling was cold and steaming, and was immediately startled, and hurriedly trotted all the way to find Moxiang.
Mo Xiang stood outside the door and looked at it, and couldn't help but cover her mouth in amazement, her little heart was pounding, and streams of cold air were surging out along the crack in the door, making people feel like a cold wind was coming.
Xiaoqing was about to speak, and she hurriedly made a booing gesture and pulled her aside.
Xiaoqing hurriedly asked: "Miss, what's wrong with Fang Gongzi, why is his whole body cold, standing at the door just now, I can't help but shiver." ”
A hint of brilliance flashed in Mo Xiang's eyes, and he couldn't hide his surprise and said, "I didn't expect that Fang Gongzi turned out to be a martial arts master, and the cold aura exuded from his body is the qi of heaven and earth cultivated by people in martial arts." ”
"Ah, Fang Gongzi looks weak and weak, I didn't expect that he still has a lot of work, but this work is too strong, there are also a few young masters in our clan who can do martial arts, but they are not like him can exude cold energy. Xiaoqing was surprised.
Mo Xiangwan said: "Xiaoqing, don't you know, after this martial arts cultivation reaches a certain level, you can let the qi of heaven and earth be released, which will take at least twenty or thirty years of hard work." ”
Xiao Qing nodded understandingly, and said happily: "So, Fang Gongzi is using the qi of heaven and earth to crack this box." ”
Mo Xiang bowed slightly, looked at the closed door seriously, and said, "When Fang Gongzi is doing his work, don't bother you and me, just wait outside." ”
Xiao Qing nodded emphatically, and couldn't help but say happily: "If Young Master Fang can really open the box, Miss will learn the secret of the box, and she will definitely persuade the master to leave the city, so that it doesn't matter if the assassin is investigated." ”
"Let's do it. Mo Xiang sighed lightly, but her face couldn't help but have a little bit of anticipation, although she didn't have martial arts, but she knew that to achieve this realm, it would take day after day, year after year of hard work, it would not be easy to achieve such an attainment at Fang Ling's age, not to mention that he also had a superb talent, such a man with both civil and military skills, maybe he could really crack the secrets that had plagued the family for more than ten generations for three hundred years.
In the room, Fang Ling concentrated on controlling the ice power on his fingertips, feeling it differentiate into wisps of ice silk swimming in the iron box, the ice silk seemed to be his own sense of touch, and passed everything he came into contact with through movement, and Fang Ling sketched out in his mind the place he walked.
