Chapter 145: Star Array Mechanism

As the saying goes, there is no time in the cave, Yu Zexuan, who is in the deep cave in the belly of the mountain, does not know that he is looking for him outside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info didn't feel sleepy, so he didn't know that it was late at night outside the cave. Instead, I was observed in the pool by myself, and suddenly found out that the water flow of the five streams represented the five elements and yin and yang, and my heart suddenly relaxed.

It seems that this cave, like all the magic circles in this mountain, is a man-made formation. Why, as long as it is not a natural cave, it is a man-made building, there must be an entrance and exit.

Yu Zexuan said to himself: "Dad said that in order to keep secrets, one is to use magic circles, and the other is to use mechanical methods to make level equipment. Although this cave is very complicated, except for the magic circle at the entrance of the cave where I fell in, there are no spiritual power fluctuations here in the hall at all.

It looks like it's a huge machine. If this is the case, the only key to activating the mechanism and opening the exit is this pool. ”

Yu Zexuan carefully observed the water in the pool and the pool itself, and said to himself: "If the four springs are square, the four vertical colors represent the four elements. Minghuang is golden, azimuth west; Green is the attribute of wood, the direction is east; This particularly dirty rust is nearly red in color, belongs to fire, and is located in the south; The white one should be water, azimuth north.

Slowly, there's still a dirt left. Earth? Isn't it? Yes! The bottom of the pool is the soil! The hexagram is kun, carrying all things, and the direction is in the middle.

The four directions and the five elements represent the earth and man, and the three talents of 'heaven, earth and man' lack the heavens. Sky? There are three lights in the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars. The sun and moon are the sun and the yin, and there are hot and cold geysers instead of the yin and yang poles. Then there is still a lack of stars. ”

Thinking of this, Yu Zexuan patted his head, "Lack of stars? I'm afraid it's a lack of heart! Isn't there a Big Dipper at the bottom of the pool? That's right, the seven stars at the bottom of the pool are to indicate the reflection of the stars in the sky in the water, and the key to the mechanism is on the Big Dipper at the bottom of the pool, which is a star array. ”

With a new discovery, next, Yu Zexuan carefully observed the position of the Big Dipper in the pool. A silver-white, a purple-black, a blue, and a green star were found, and these four stars formed a square. According to the ancient book "Crane Guanzi", it should be Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji and Tianquan respectively. Extending outward from the heavenly power, there are three stones: yellow, blue, and red and black. The ones represented are Yuheng, Kaiyang and Shaguang.

Take a closer look, there is an inconspicuous, small pale white pebble the size of a soybean next to Kaiyang, and it is really difficult to find if you don't pay attention. Yu Zexuan said to himself:

"Is this referring to the Hidden Star? So this should be the bitmap of the Big Dipper? If it's Nine Stars, then where is Gou Chen Xing? "I searched the bottom of the pool, but I didn't find it, how to count it is 8 colored stones.

It may also be that the food these days is too strange, and he is even more busy and rarely drinks water. Yu Zexuan was nervous and thinking at this time, his heart was anxious, and he felt that his mouth was dry and his body was hot and unbearable. There was no water anywhere else, so he leaned down and took some water from the pool to drink.

The water tastes as refreshing and sweet as sugar, lukewarm. After taking a few sips, I felt a lot better. So he simply put his head into the water and gulped several sips before raising his head.

In the afterglow, I suddenly felt a flash of light in front of me. His heart moved, and he quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. If you look at it carefully, there is indeed a bright spot on the opposite pool wall. Yu Zexuan got up and walked around to take a closer look, and there was indeed a crystal the size of a broad bean inlaid on the water surface of the pool wall, about an inch above the level of the pool wall.

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the crystal's location was on the hypothetical extension of the Celestial Pivot and Celestial Swirl. Yu Zexuan exclaimed, "Aha! Polaris! Gou Chen is the North Star! The North Star is the central axis of the heavens. That's right! In the book "Daozang", it is recorded that the nine sons born to Beidou are the star lords of the nine palaces of the Heavenly Palace, with seven visible and two hidden. This mechanism formation turned out to be the Big Dipper! ”

But after all, this is just knowing the layout of the formation. You also need to know how to unlock the mechanism.

Yu Zexuan remembered that when his father taught him to open the Purple Jade Treasure Book, he once said that the method of learning the mechanism is whether it is open or closed. It's just a matter of "lifting, spinning, pressing, dialing." "The four most basic techniques are achieved through combination and variation.

For example, the most common mechanism is a lock used in the home. The method of opening is to first use the "reverse mention" technique, that is, the technique of "insertion". Then use the word "twist", that is, the technique of "spinning" to open.

Machine closure is based on various techniques, plus the arrangement of Bagua or Nine Palaces. The technique is to pay attention to the order of dismantling or assembling the mechanism, and the three aspects of the code are ingenious. Combination is the arrangement of numbers or figures, and the change of password.

There must be a delicate relationship between the two. As long as any of these steps are wrong, they either cannot be unlocked, or the mechanism protection mechanism is activated. There are generally three types of protection mechanisms for organs. One is to destroy what is intended to be kept secret; The other is to kill the person who tries to crack the mechanism; The third is automatic password reflow.

Yu Zexuan jumped into the pool and reached out to touch the colored stones representing the Star Palace at the bottom of the pool. Only then did I realize that each stone was about an inch above the bottom of the pool. The surrounding area of the stone is closely integrated with the bottom of the pool, and the surface is hemispherical, slippery and does not leave your hands.

The technique of "dialing" does not work. I twisted it lightly with my hand, and I felt that it was very firm, so I guessed that there were only two methods: "lifting" and "pressing". The most complicated thing in the study of mechanism techniques is the two methods of raising pressure.

These two methods are usually based on the password to count the number of lifts or presses, can also calculate the length of time to lift or press, can also be according to the password to determine the order of individual lifts or presses, and more according to the password to determine the combination of the first three ways of pressure lifting.

Yu Zexuan gently lifted the red and black stone that represented the last star of the bucket handle, and the hemispherical small stone, which was only an inch long above the bottom of the pool, was slippery and could not be grasped at all. It can therefore be concluded that the formulation certainly does not work.

So I pressed it gently, only shaking slightly, but there was no movement. Yu Zexuan tried several other stones embedded in the bottom of the pool one by one, and they were basically the same. Only pressing down can loosen a little, but it is a little feeling, and it has no effect.

Try gently pressing the tail three stones with both hands and one foot at the same time and find that you can be pressed down a little more. However, it did not fully press into the bottom of the pool, and it did not bring any effect. After a moment of contemplation, the pressed stone gradually returned to its original height.

"The effect of pressing down at the same time is more obvious than pressing alone?" Yu Zexuan suddenly slapped his head, "That's right! The first step in opening the Purple Jade Treasure is to use the 'Jiaolong Claw'."
