"Come on, come on, you see, this is the legendary 'gossip chain lock'! This thing is not something that ordinary people can play with! ”

"Serial your sister, don't sell it. I've heard of the gossip serial palm, and my grandfather taught me, do you want me to beat you up? ”

"Hey, you person, calm, calm, the world is so wonderful, but you are so irritable, this is not good, not good! Listen to me! ”

Haozi followed the example of Li Lao, pretending to touch a handful of unwarranted beards and straightening his body.

"You see, this lock was designed by the ancestor Lu Ban himself, and it took 7749 days to build it, and it was assembled by the combination of 8864 precision lock columns, and the mortise and tenon joint structure was used between the lock posts and the lock columns, which was very ingenious." Haozi shook his head and said.

"You can pull it down, when I'm a three-year-old child, you, keep making it up." Chen Tao glanced at Haozi, knowing that he had started to add fuel and vinegar again.

"Hey, you said you're a man, didn't you want me to say it? You don't believe it! Really, I won't say it. Saying that, Haozi was about to take the lock and continue to tinker.

"Don't don't, can't I be wrong, you continue." Chen Tao took a cup of tea and held it up in front of Li Hao.

Haozi looked at Chen Tao speechlessly, took the teacup in his hand and took a sip and said:

Legend has it that in the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to test whether his son was smart, the ancestor Lu Ban made a toy that could be put together and detached with 6 wooden strips and asked his son to open it. The son was busy all night and finally took it apart. This kind of toy is called Luban lock by later generations, also called Kong Ming lock, don't stuffy stick, six sub lianfang, Mo Naihe, difficult wood, annoying lock, seven lock, etc. ”

"There are all kinds of Luban locks, and they are strange. Now the most common six and nine Luban locks on the market are the most famous. ”

"Among them, the six Luban locks are different in structure according to different regions and design concepts."

According to the tenon shape, the six Luban locks are mainly divided into two categories, and the people on the market simply call them Class A and Class B. Of course, the tenon shape of the six Luban locks is far from limited to these two. In fact, after the improvement of later generations, the structure of the six Luban locks is innumerable. ”

"Another kind of nine Luban locks, select a few of them, you can complete the 'six tenons', 'seven star knots', 'eight buckles', 'nine rings' and so on. It is not easy to meet the different numbers of nine tenon shapes at the same time to achieve four occlusal structures. ”

"But these Luban locks that are popular among the folk are just ordinary small toys, and the real complexity is this! Gossip chain lock! ”

Haozi raised the copper ball in his hand.

"This lock is made by the ancestor Lu Ban after being inspired by the six locks, and combined with the yin and yang gossip hexagrams, which is specially reserved for future generations of craftsmen."

"It is said that Master Lu Banzu's ability is hidden in this gossip chain, whoever can unlock the secret of this gossip chain lock can get his true biography!" Haozi said something serious, and looked at Chen Tao next to him mysteriously.

"I was just figuring out how to solve the mystery of this gossip chain! Depend on! Taozi, what is your expression? ”

"Luban...... Master Zu? Also gossip, what, artisans? Chen Tao couldn't listen to it anymore, and thought in his heart that this product was definitely fooling himself again.

"Where did you get this mess from?"

Haozi raised his eyebrows: "Get out, this is all taught by my grandfather!"

Chen Tao felt a little dizzy, "Didn't Elder Li tell stories before, why did he have anything to do with Lu Ban and craftsmen again?" ”

Chen Tao once heard his grandfather say that Li Lao was a well-known storyteller when he was young, and in their time, when it came to Li Sanye from the capital, everyone knew it.

Haozi smiled: "You don't know more!"

Chen Tao looked at him with disdain.

"It's so unreliable, are you lying to me!"

Haozi said seriously: "What's there, it's all true!" Let me tell you, this hexagram is divided into Fuxi 64 hexagrams and Fuxi Bagua, the Fuxi 64 hexagram sequence is derived from the Fuxi Bagua sequence, and the Fuxi 64 hexagrams can be arranged into circle diagrams, square diagrams and sequence diagrams. ”

"The innate gossip sequence of Fuxi is a natural generation sequence, and its generation order comes from the "Dictionaries": 'It is easy to have Taiji, which is to give birth to two yi, two yi to give birth to four elephants, and four elephants to give birth to gossip, gossip determines good luck and evil, and good luck and evil become a great cause.' That is, Tai Chi is divided into two, two into four, and four into eight. ”

"The source of Fuxi's innate gossip azimuth map is "Saying Hexagrams": 'Heaven and earth are positioned, mountains and rivers are ventilated, thunder and wind are thin, water and fire do not shoot each other, and the gossip is wrong.' ”

That is to say, to untie the chain of eight trigrams, it is necessary to combine the deduction of hexagrams, the four solar terms, and the changes of heaven and earth. Different times, different places, different ways... For ordinary people, the way to unlock the secret is almost impossible! ”

"Okay, okay, okay, stop! Stop! ”

Haozi was stunned for a moment, Chen Tao was completely stunned, and said in his heart: "How did this kid learn so many messy things, what has he done all these years?"

"So, Li Daxian, your old man is now planning to unlock the secret of this Luban lock? There's a treasure map in it, and then go after the treasure that the old man left for you? Chen Tao said crookedly.

Looking at Chen Tao's look of disbelief, Haozi glanced at him fiercely and said disdainfully:

"Alas, mortals, stupid mortals, you scum won't understand!"

Chen Tao didn't bother to talk to Haozi, and said, "Can you unlock this now, the yin and yang gossip lock?"

"It's eight! Hexagram! Join! Ring! Lock! Haozi shouted word by word, shaking Chen Tao's ears to be deaf.

"In fact, no matter how complicated this lock is, its core is derived from the mortise and tenon structure in ancient Chinese architecture, knowing this principle, in fact, you can open this lock. Remember, it's the unlock and that's it. Haozi said seriously.

"However, it is not difficult to disassemble it and put it back together, but how to unravel the secret hidden inside? Could it be true that you want to find an old blind man to study the gossip and etiquette? ”

Haozi said, his brows furrowed, one hand supporting his chin, tilting his head to look at the gossip chain lock in his hand and worrying.

"You...... You mean, you can open this lock? Chen Tao looked at him with a shocked expression.

This lock was studied when he listened to Haozi talk about that big mess. Although it looks like it's just a small copper ball the size of a palm, the combination of parts inside is so tight that from the outside, there is no way to open it.

"Yes, it's easy." Saying that, Haozi very skillfully threw the copper lock ball in his hand, and the fingers of both hands groped neatly on the gap lines on the surface of the lock, and suddenly his fingers stopped somewhere, and he looked up and smiled mysteriously at Chen Tao.

"You're watching!"

I heard a crisp copper sound, and when Haozi's fingers pressed, the surface of the originally smooth copper ball actually sank into a small boxy hole, and Chen Tao looked surprised.

Haozi raised his eyebrows at him very proudly, and the corners of his mouth lifted an arc, turning the copper ball over, and a boxy piece was raised on the reverse side.

Chen Tao realized in his heart, combined with the ordinary six Luban locks he had seen before, the inside of this lock should be similar to a long strip structure, but this lock is spherical, so the surface of this part is curved.

Chen Tao continued to widen his eyes as Haozi pulled out the raised part for a short time, and his two hands rotated the copper ball neatly, and his ten fingers kept groping on it like the tentacles of an octopus.

There was another crisp click, and another square pillar was pressed out by Haozi. Then, the copper ball kept rotating in his hand, and small square pillars were pulled up or pressed continuously, and Haozi's fingers did not pause in the whole process.

How skilled this must be!

Chen Tao was secretly surprised in his heart. The complexity of this copper lock, he has experienced it from the moment he got it in his hand. Haozi was able to unravel the parts of the mechanism so skillfully and neatly, Chen Tao's heartbeat accelerated a little for a moment, and he said in his heart, what has this kid done all these years? What are the craftsmen he said, the ancestor Lu Ban, and the hexagram theories that I am dizzy to listen to?

Chen Tao looked at Haozi's hands with wide eyes, and the copper ball seemed to be alive in his hands. Haozi doesn't look tall, but his hands are very good-looking, and his body proportions are just right. It's a miniature version of the golden ratio, eh...... It's just a little darker.

Chen Tao looked at it and suddenly felt that it was quite good-looking, the copper ball was rotating in Haozi's hand, changing, like a finger dance.

Haozi's hand suddenly stopped, and he raised the almost "unrecognizable" copper ball in front of Chen Tao's eyes.

"Look at it!"

His fingers pinched one of the sections, slowly pulled it out, and shook it in front of Chen Tao. Chen Tao hurriedly took it with both hands, and opened his eyes wide to look carefully. A small section of copper pillar was drawn out, and it was covered with high and low teeth and grooves.

The kind of six-column Luban lock column, Chen Tao has seen it, although the center part also has some grooves, but compared to this, it is simply the difference between a bicycle and an aircraft carrier.

"This ...... That's ...... Finished? Chen Tao raised his head and asked Li Hao carefully.

"It's still early, this is only the first section, like this bronze pillar, this lock has a total of sixty-four sections."

After saying that, Haozi's hands that had stopped began to move again. In Chen Tao's surprised gaze, section after section of the copper lock pillars were pulled out and neatly arranged on the tea table in front of the two.

When the last section of the copper lock pillar was dismantled and put away, Chen Tao looked at the old-fashioned wall clock on the wall, and it was already a little faster.

Three hours, a full three hours! Such a copper lock ball, with Haozi's skillful speed, actually took three hours to untie. If you change it to yourself and remove it, it will probably take more than half a month!

"Haozi, you're awesome!"
