This Wuhou lock is the most complicated Wuhou lock I have seen so far, I counted the copper bars that can be seen, twenty-two, counting the ones hidden in it and not visible for the time being, it should belong to the twenty-four locks.

The twelve locks in the Wuhou lock are already extremely complicated, even for people who are familiar with the Wuhou lock, it will take about two hours to come into contact with a new twelve locks and want to unlock them.

Now the difficulty has doubled, and there are only two hours left. I don't know if I can unlock this Wuhou lock in two hours.

In order to ease the tension in Yuen Long, I chatted with him while studying Wuhou Suo.

In the research stage, you still don't have to be so engrossed in thinking.

"Yuan Gongzi, there are some things that I don't understand."

"What's the matter?"

"Does Yuan Gongzi know that the mole on his face is a mole of water doom?"

"Well, I've known it since I was a kid."

"Then why move to Yongquan Lake? There is also a taboo to plant pine trees in front of the door, and Yuan Gongzi will not know it. ”

Yuen Long sighed softly, "It's for my mother, my lady is killing the wolf." ”

"Wait a minute, you're married?" I was very surprised, I remember the last time I saw him, he was not married, and said that he was worried that he would affect his wife.

"Well, this house was built for marriage."

"It's not...... Who gave you the bad idea, marry a girl who has the life to kill wolves? ”

"It's also a helpless move, there are some things I haven't done yet, and the incense of our Yuan family can't be broken."

I know what Yuen Long means, once the Heavenly Evil Lone Star and the Wolf Killer are together, although they can break the fortune that affects their loved ones. But I will suffer a major disaster, even a tragic death.

To put it simply, Yuen Long wants to exchange the lives of his husband and wife for the stability of future generations.

"Yuan Gongzi, there are some things I think it's better to tell you. I don't know who taught you this, but the success rate is low. Whether you and Mrs. Ling can survive until the birth of the child is one thing. ”

"My wife, he's pregnant."

"I understand, so you should plant a pine tree at the door, so that you may overcome yin and alleviate your own calamity."

"Don't hide it from the ninth prince, there are nine bronze coffins buried under this mansion. As long as I can make it to the birth of my child, I can count on my wish. ”

I sighed softly, "Let's not talk about this yet, I'll help you figure it out." Have you offended anyone? ”

"No, those who do our job are cautious, and I am a Heavenly Evil Lone Star Destiny, how dare I easily offend people?"

"And who do you think wants to do this to you?"

"I can't think of it, I'm a dying man, is there any benefit in him doing this? I've already explained what happened after death, and if it weren't for the sake of seeing the child, let me die now. ”

"Where did you sleep last night?"

"With my wife."

"Did Madame Ling hear anything?"

"I've asked at the door, but I haven't heard anything."

"I guess it's very likely that the other party used incense, and the mechanism in this room is so delicately arranged, it is absolutely impossible for one person to do it, at least three people, or even more.

But I don't understand, what is his purpose in doing this? If it's to kill you, wouldn't it be better to do it directly?

There is no writing on this piece of paper for anyone to solve...... Wait, does Yuan Gongzi know other extremely smart people in Jinling? ”

"Except for those who have returned to the mountains and forests, there are only nine sons. The Ministry of Industry knows a few people who do calculations and abacus, but they rarely have any contacts. I had to ask the ninth prince for help. ”

I suddenly had a thought in my heart, could this group of people be coming at me?

But few people should know about the things I have been in contact with in Yuen Long, right?

"Yuan Gongzi, do anyone else know about the acquaintance of the two of us?"

"I've talked to my peers. Jiu Gongzi's consciousness is, this group of people is coming at you? ”

"It's hard to say, if they want to be smart, they can come to me directly. Why risk the lives of others? Next, I will stop talking, and I will untie this Wuhou lock wholeheartedly.

Don't worry, I will try my best to untie it, even if I can't untie it, I will save Yuan Gongzi's life. ”

After that, I continued to study this Wuhou lock.

The complexity of this Wuhou lock is beyond my imagination, and I am even amazed at how smart it is to be able to make such a Wuhou lock.

Time is ticking, and there is less and less sand in the upper part of the slotter.

I began to sweat profusely on my forehead, and due to time constraints, I had to worry about Yuen Long's life, and I had to look at my eyes from time to time, so I couldn't concentrate on it.

As the sand on the shearle decreased, I became more nervous.

Twenty-four locks are made up of twenty-four and copper bars, and I have unlocked twelve, but the rest of the locks are interlocking, and I can't untie them.

This kind of interlocking lock, as long as you find an unraveling opening, the rest can be easily solved.

However, unlocking the opening is not so easy to find.

I even want to destroy the lock directly, but I'm worried about triggering the mechanism.

I glanced at the leaky pot again, and I was afraid that I would not even have a cup of tea left.

I had to start thinking about how to save Yuen Long when the bronze tripod fell down later.

It's impossible to pull him apart, and I can't cut all the wires on him in such a short time. Then only at the moment when the bronze tripod falls, the bronze tripod will be knocked out.

After deciding, I bit off my left finger, drew a Dao talisman on my body with blood, and continued to untie the lock of Wuhou with my right hand.

Just as the sand in the slotter was about to run out, I finally found a way to unlock it.

However, it was too late to draw out one of the copper bars, and there were still eleven left.

Of course, when the only four copper bars remained, the time was up.

The copper wire in the leaky pot suddenly broke, followed by other copper wires breaking one after another, making a crisp sound.

The bronze tripod above Yuen Long's head suddenly fell.

I hurriedly jumped up, turned my right hand into a palm, and slapped it hard towards the bronze tripod.

With a "bang", the bronze tripod made a dull loud sound.

I felt like I was being swallowed up by a powerful force, and my whole body flew backwards and hit the beams behind me.

The pain in the internal organs was incomparable, and the chest was like a river overturning the sea, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Fortunately, the bronze tripod was knocked out by me, but it just rubbed Yuen Long's bun and smashed it heavily on the ground next to it.

smashed a big hole in the bluestone ground, and the entire bronze tripod almost all fell into the ground, which shows the weight of the bronze tripod.

Yuen Long had just closed his eyes, but now he opened them again and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Thank you Jiu Gongzi for saving your life, and Yuan Mouding should be rewarded with a lot of money." ”

"Don't talk yet, I'll rest for a while."

I feel like my whole head is hairy at this moment, the power of the spell on this bronze tripod is too strong, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that it will directly shatter the meridians and die immediately.

I didn't remove the silver needle from Yuen Long, and quickly meditated to recuperate.

It wasn't until the qi and blood in my body calmed down that I stood up and took off the silver needle from Yuen Long.

Yuen Long immediately bowed to me and thanked me, and I waved my hand and said I wanted to go to the room where he slept.

As long as they do get Yuen Long out of the room, there will always be clues.

The loud noise just now also made Niu Meng rush over, he looked at the bronze tripod trapped in the ground, and said with emotion: "Good boy, this bronze tripod is so heavy?" ”

"There is a Dao Talisman, which is not heavy in itself, but the power of the Dao Talisman has disappeared. Later, you can move the bronze tripod back and see if you can find out who made the bronze tripod. ”

Niu Meng nodded, and Yuen Long led us to his room.

Yuen Long said that when he woke up, the first thing he did was to keep no one from entering the room. Only his lady and maid have entered, and if there are any clues left, they should not be destroyed.

I asked Yuen Long to wait outside the room, and only brought Niu Meng into the room, and told Niu Meng not to move around freely after entering the room.

When I entered the room, I looked closely at the floor and saw only two footprints, one going in and one going out.

The footprints are relatively small, and I think they are maids and Yuen Long ladies.

The snow had accumulated very deep last night, and the murderer came to the Yuan Mansion and entered the room either with a cloth on his feet or after leaving, he cleaned the room again.

The furniture in the room doesn't look like it's been touched and doesn't leave any special smell. Misty incense is a thing that is fascinated quickly and dispersed quickly.

All the windows are intact, and there is no need to poke the windows with bamboo tubes to blow incense in.

"Yuan Gongzi, was the door bolted last night?" I asked Yuen Long, who was standing outside the door.

Yuen Long shook his head, "My own mansion is not so wary. ”

Now it's difficult, the door can be entered through the wall, and the door is unlocked. The murderer could have pushed the door in.

Moreover, this house is newly built, and the doors and windows are all new, and it will not make a noise when pushed like a house that has been around for years. It is possible for the murderer to enter the room without a sound.

There was no clue at all, so I asked Yuen Long to call her wife and ask him about her mother-in-law.

didn't ask anything, she said that she slept very heavily last night, and the maid came over to inform him that something had happened in Yuen Long.

I checked his mother's pulse again, and he was in good health, but he didn't seem to be pregnant, and wanted to wait for the child to be born for at least nine months.

I told Yuen Long not to worry, I would ask someone from the Jinyi Guard to come and guard the Yuan Mansion first.

He thanked me and gave me a hundred taels of gold. In order to reassure him, I had to accept it.

The paper, the steel wire, and the bronze tripod I took with Niu Meng.

Without the help of the Dao Fu, the bronze tripod was actually not sinking, and Niu Meng directly resisted on his shoulder.

When he left the Yuan Mansion and walked near Yongquan Lake, Niu Meng suddenly shouted: "Brother Jiu, what do you see over there?" ”

I looked in the direction that Niu pointed to, and I didn't see anything in the white expanse. The ice of Yongquan Lake seems to have reached the horizon, and there is a thick layer of snow as far as the eye can see.

"What do you see?" I asked him with a frown.

"I didn't see it clearly, it looked like a big black fish, far away."

I stared into the distance for a long time, but there was still nothing. If there is ice near the shore of Yongquan Lake, it will not freeze in the distance, right? It's normal to have fish, but big fish ...... There are no big fish in Jinling, a big lake, not a sea.

But this freezing thing is really unusual.

I asked Niu Meng not to think about it, so I took him back to Yishui Pavilion quickly.
