On the way, I learned that this person was the housekeeper of the Yuen Long family, and the intersection between me and Yuen Long was only once in the Treasure Pavilion, and I never saw him again.

At that time, I felt that Yuen Long Ancestor had done so many things that damaged Yin Virtue, and he was able to carry it down, which showed that his Heavenly Evil Lone Star's fate had almost been resolved.

Of the twenty-seven sisters in Yuen Long, fifteen were stoned to death, seven died in infancy, two died of illness, and one was beaten to death by her husband. No matter how cruel the fate of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star is, it should come to an end at this point.

As long as Yuen Long does not do anything harmful to nature in the second half of his life, he will naturally be able to enjoy his old age.

If I forcibly interfere with his life, maybe something bad will happen.

This is also something that Uncle Shi has taught me.

I asked the housekeeper what had happened in Yuen Long, and the housekeeper said that he couldn't tell him, so he asked me to go over and see it myself, and said that this was what Yuen Long meant.

I didn't ask any more.

Walking through the snow to the outside of the city, I stopped when I was almost near Yongquan Lake.

He frowned and asked the housekeeper, "Yuen Long won't live next to Yongquan Lake, will he?" ”

"Yes, the newly built house a month ago has not been long since I moved here."

My brow furrowed a little tighter, "Who's got the idea?" ”

"I don't know."

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Niu Meng asked me.

I waved my hand, "It's nothing, let's go over and have a look." ”

When I came to Yongquan Lake with Niu Meng to exercise, I knew that a new house had been built here. But I never cared, I didn't know who was going to live here.

But Yuen Long is really troublesome to live here.

He had a mole on his face, called a mole of doom. If you hit the water, you should avoid contact with the water as much as possible, especially not live next to rivers, lakes and seas. Otherwise, it will bring great disaster.

Yuen Long has invited so many feng shui masters, fortune tellers, and even Taoist masters before, it is impossible not to know this?

How did you suddenly move to the side of Yongquan Lake?

When I approached Yongquan Lake, I noticed that the whole lake was white, so I stopped again.

I picked up a random stone and threw it into the lake, and the stone bounced off the ice when it touched the ice.

"Icing?" Niu Meng frowned.

I nodded, went down to the lake, swept the snow away with my feet, and stomped hard.

"It's strange how Yongquan Lake can freeze. And the thickness of this ice is so thick that more than a dozen people walking on it at the same time will not be able to step on it. ”

"It's so strange, I've been in Jinling for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen Yongquan Lake freeze."

"Let's go, let's go see Yuen Long first."

I remembered that Nan Ya told me before he left that Jinling was about to change the sky, and now it seems that something unusual has indeed happened.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

When I came to the gate of Yuanfu, I saw the vermilion gate, and there were two pine trees planted at the door. This is very strange, pine trees belong to the shade, and even ordinary people know that pine trees cannot be planted at the gate.

Pine trees are generally planted in temples, cemeteries, and some military camps also plant some pine trees. But planting pine trees at the door of the house is a big taboo.

How did Yuen Long do something unusual?

The housekeeper led us into the house and came to the courtyard in Yuen Long, which was already crowded with people.

The door of the house in Yuen Long was open, and he sat in it, and there was no one else in the house but him.

"Ninth Prince, I saw this at the young master's door this morning." The butler pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to me.

I took the paper and saw that it read, "Wuhou lock, unlock it within three hours, and then close the mechanism." Otherwise, Yuen Long will perish. Any act that destroys the mechanism will trigger the mechanism, remember. ”

"I didn't dare to enter the house, so I read the words on the paper to the young master, and the young master asked me to hurry up and invite you."

I nodded and replied, "Got it." ”

Then I walked to the door and saw Yuen Long sitting on a chair, and if I looked closely, I saw a few steel wires tied to my body. Wire looped around the room, as well as in the doorway.

There is a bronze tripod on the top of Yuen Long's head, and I don't know how to hang it.

On the table next to him, there was a large leaky pot, but this leaky pot was made of glass, which belonged to Western gadgets.

The leaky pot is a timer filled with sand, and it seems that the sand of this leaky pot is completely leaking to the other side, which should be three hours. A third of the time has passed now.

The leaky pot is also connected to the steel wire, in addition, it is also connected to a Luban lock, which looks like a Luban lock, made of copper, but it is much more complicated than the Luban lock.

It was not wrong to say that Wuhou Suo on that piece of paper, and Kong Ming was also called Wuhou. Legend has it that Kong Ming created a more complex Kong Ming lock based on the Luban lock.

The most complicated Kong Ming lock I have solved is the twelve locks, but this Wuhou lock connected to the steel wire is obviously much more complicated than the twelve locks.

"Can you speak?" I asked Yuen Long.

Yuen Long nodded, "I've seen the Ninth Prince, there are many inconveniences, and there are far away, and I hope the Ninth Prince will forgive me." ”

"It's all at this juncture, so there is no need to say polite words. Do you remember something? I asked him again.

Yuen Long shook his head, "Wake up, just sit here." The man said I couldn't get up, and that as soon as someone touched the wire in the room, the mechanism would trigger and the bronze tripod on my head would fall off.

Leaking sand from the leaky pot will also trigger the trap, and the only way to remove it is to unlock the Wuhou lock. ”

"Did you see him?"

"Well, he's very tall, a head taller than the Ninth Prince, and he's on the thin side. Dressed in night clothes, with a mask, even the eyes are covered with a black veil, which is well hidden. ”

"Where's the voice?"

"It seems to be deliberately pretended, it sounds like it is only eight or nine years old, like the voice of a child."

"Got it." I turned around and instructed Niu Meng, "Mengzi, you tell everyone to go outside the courtyard first, watch it, don't let anyone in, and don't make a sound." ”

Niu Meng nodded and kicked everyone out.

I looked closely at the wires in the room, almost all over the room, and the slightest mistake would touch the wires and trigger the mechanism.

However, Wuhou locked there, but left a place for one person.

In other words, I have to carefully walk to that position and untie the Wuhou lock.

If the time comes, if you can't untie it, that bronze tripod can kill me.

Of course, this is only for the average person.

With my current strength, I think it's okay to catch this bronze tripod with my bare hands.

While thinking this, I noticed that there was a charm on the bronze tripod, which my uncle had just taught me.

It is used to increase the weight of the soul, and it comes from the black and white impermanence of the underworld.

When you take Huangquan Road and cross the Nai He Bridge, you will occasionally encounter strong winds. In order to ensure that the soul is not blown away by the wind, black and white impermanence will paste this kind of talisman on these souls to increase the weight of the soul, and according to legend, it can increase the power of ten thousand catties.

It seems that the person who arranged this mechanism is not only a person who decides wisely, but also a master of Taoism.

So many steel wires were used, presumably in order to distribute the force of lifting the bronze tripod, otherwise it would not be possible to use so many steel wires just to lift the same bronze tripod.

Now I'm not sure I can catch the bronze tripod, after all, I don't know how heavy this bronze tripod is.

Niu Meng may be able to, but he is a big and three thick person, and it is estimated that he will be able to touch the mechanism as soon as he enters the door, and he will not have time to pick up the bronze tripod.

"Yuan Gongzi, I'm going in, you must remember not to move."

Yuen Long nodded, looking calm.

Thinking about it, he is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and he is still a little bold and courageous.

It is not difficult to reach the location of the unlock, as long as you pay attention to the wire. Sometimes you need to lower your waist, sometimes you need to split your legs, and the flexibility of your body is very demanding.

So, I cautiously and with great difficulty, I walked to the position of unlocking.

"Yuan Gongzi, I will use acupuncture to restrict your movements first, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it for a long time." I told Yuen Long.

Yuen Long nodded.

I took out a silver needle and sealed a few of his acupuncture points, but it did not restrict him from speaking.

I looked at the wire wrapped around Yuen Long's body, his legs were tied, and it was impossible to pull him away in time. Unless I can cut the wire in an instant, and at the same time, pull him out of the range of the bronze tripod smashing down.

But I don't have a weapon in my hands, and it's too risky. Although Niu Meng's pig-killing knife was sharp, it was impossible to cut so many wires in an instant. I think the only one who can cut so many wires in an instant is the black sword in Nan Ya's hand, right?

Now it seems that the only way to do this Wuhou lock is to unlock it.

Since this person wants to play smart with others, let's play with him.
