The Locks of Legend are on the way

Quarrel with a strong man

My grandfather told me this story more than once when I was a child, and one of the things I remember saying the most was, "Many people wanted to find this Kings Canyon, but no one could find it, and no one could come back." Even if you find it, don't even think about bringing it out, because it belongs to the Immortal Heaven. ”

I liked this story so much that whenever I had time, I would pester my grandfather to tell it to me over and over again, and always ask what happened to me. Whenever he asked about this, Grandpa always smiled and kept his mouth shut, maybe he didn't know what happened later.

So when I saw the relief on the wooden box, I immediately remembered this story, I always thought that my grandfather was just telling me a story, but now I think it's not just a myth. But how the hell did my grandfather get this box? Judging from the age of the box, this is a priceless old object, and if it is auctioned, the price will be at least 7 figures, so why did he bury this object here? What's in it?

At this moment, countless questions flashed through my mind. "If you don't open this box, all your questions won't be answered." Thinking of this, I didn't just lean down to look at the brass lock on the front of the wooden box.

The style of this copper lock is very special, it is a lock body in the shape of a pepper figure made of a whole piece of copper, the whole body protrudes outward, the head is not big, the two eyes protrude outward, there are no eyeballs, but deep depression into it, it seems that it should be the place where the key is inserted. The body is like a snail, and the shell of the mussel the size of an adult man's fist rises high, and the four corners are in the shape of a running, as if it is about to rush forward at any moment.

"Pepper Lock?" After seeing this strange-shaped copper lock, I couldn't help but gasp.

Although I haven't really seen this pepper lock before, as a Buddha, I have naturally heard of it. The basic techniques of the Buddha, in addition to the basic skills of touching, smoothing, stealing, and taking, are also indispensable for prying and opening. And this pry and opening refers to opening all kinds of locks without a key, so before formally learning the technology of unlocking, you must understand the structure and solution of all lock cylinders on the market. And among these locks, since ancient times, there are ten kinds of lock cylinders that are the most troublesome and almost insolvable. They are called by the Buddhas, "Ten Cages". And this pepper diagram lock cylinder is among them.

The most difficult thing about the Pepper Lock for Buddha is that it is not a lock that can be opened with a key, it is the only lock in the "Ten Cages" that requires two keys to be inserted into the lock hole at the same time to open. According to legend, the Jiaotu lock was made by Ma Jun, a famous inventor in the late Han Dynasty, because this person was very good at the use of machinery and the manufacture of news ambushes, so he added a lot of special mechanisms to the Jiaotu lock. The lock hole of the Jiaotu lock,Located in the position of his eyes,The two people who pick the lock must have a very high degree of tacit understanding to open it,Once the key is inserted into the force、The time is wrong,Or is forcibly destroyed by external force,The originally closed mouth of the Jiaotu on the lock body will suddenly open,From the inside of the rapid spray of venom、Crossbow arrows and other objects,Attack the lockpicker,And the sulfur originally hidden in the tail will also flow into the box,Incinerate the contents of the inside。

"It's tricky." Thinking of this, I stood up and searched around the house, trying to find two identical keys. However, ten minutes passed, and I still found nothing.

"That's going to be tough! Grandma's, old man, old man, you left me with such a problem, did you send me to Uncle Duan in the first place, just so that I could come back and have the ability to open this box? You're going to have a hard time with me now! I sighed as I spoke. Wait, Uncle Duan! "When I think of Uncle Duan, I can't help but be overjoyed. I remember a few years ago, when the party was gathered again, Uncle Duan was a little drunk, he once told me that he studied under the famous craftsman Sun Jiuye in old Shenyang, and he ranked fourth among the disciples, although he has always claimed to be the first in the world in terms of craftsmanship, no one can match, but to take the turn to pick the lock and untie the set of this aspect of the attainment, it is a lot worse than his senior brother. I vaguely remember that Uncle Duan told me that his senior brother seemed to be called Zhang Weiguo, and his nickname was Tiesuo Zhang.

Thinking of this, I immediately took out my mobile phone and made two calls in succession, one for the eldest sister surnamed Wang in the real estate bureau, telling her that I had something to do today and couldn't go through the procedures.

The second phone call was made to me from Faxiao, his name is Wang Xin, he is the captain of the criminal investigation team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, two years older than me, and he has strong sensitivity and ability to do things in his early 30s. We never lost contact, and he was the only friend I went to see during my time in prison, and at that time, in addition to bringing me some clothes, he also left me his contact information, so that I could come to him if I came out, and if I could, he would definitely help me.

"Hey, hello, who's that?" The phone rang four times before it was connected. Because it was an unfamiliar number, Wang Xin's attitude was a little blunt after answering the phone.

"Hey, Wang Xin, it's me!" I ignored his tone and said directly.

"You are?" The voice was somewhat familiar, but Wang Xin didn't dare to determine who it was, so he asked.

"Sister, I'm Liu Tianyi." I said.

"Good boy, it's you! What, you're out? ”

"That's not nonsense!" I scolded: "I don't have time to give you a, I have something to do with you!" I said straight to the point.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it!" Seeing that I was serious, Wang Xin was also serious. "If I can help, I will definitely help!"

Seeing that Wang Xin didn't mean to shirk at all, I didn't shy away from telling me about the box my grandfather left me, and I wanted him to help me find Zhang Weiguo.

After listening to my words, Wang Xin hesitated for a while, and then said, "Okay, no problem!" I'll help you find it as soon as possible, I happen to know a friend from the household registration office, it shouldn't be difficult, you wait for my call! Oh yes......"

"What's wrong? Any questions? Hearing Wang Xin pause, I hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask if you have enough money in your hand, do you need me to transfer it to you, but I know that your kid has a strong self-esteem, so I don't know how to speak for a while."

I laughed when I heard him say that. This time I was really happy to laugh, I didn't expect that I actually have a friend in this world who really cares about me.

Hearing me laugh, Wang Xin was obviously a little confused, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Did I say something wrong? If you say it's wrong, don't find fault with your brother! ”

I hurriedly said, "No! No! You are so good to me, how can I still find fault! I'm really happy, happy to have a friend like you. Okay, don't talk about this, I still have money, it's enough, you don't have to worry about this, you can help me find Zhang Weiguo now is the biggest help for me, I want to see what is in this box that my grandfather left me. ”

"Okay, wait for my news!" With that, we both hung up.

I put away the phone, and pulled off the sheet on the side to wrap the box on the ground, although the blue checkered sheet looks a little dirty, but at least it doesn't look so dazzling, I have been a Buddha for so many years, I understand a truth, that is, wealth can not be exposed.

And just as I picked up the wooden box on the ground and prepared to go out, there was a burst of shouting and cursing in my ears.

I couldn't help frowning, after so many years of fighting in society, I have naturally seen a lot of fights between little hooligans like this, but I didn't expect to be so unlucky today, and I actually met it at my doorstep. Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked out of the window, and saw six middle-aged boys in their twenties, medium stature, full of tattoos, surrounded by a big black man.

The big black man was bare-handed, and the six people were each holding rebar pipes, staring at each other angrily, listening to the meaning of their words, as if this big black man had just stirred up the "deal" of these people.
