Chapter 23 Bagua Meridian Copper Core Lock 2
This gossip meridian mandarin duck copper core lock This lock is designed by a Swiss watch precision master,
Swiss watches, known to everyone, and are expensive, Swiss watches represent the world's first-class level, mechanical design and watchmaking technology, design art, rare materials and human emotions are integrated, entrusting the ingenuity and hard work of watchmaking craftsmen.
In addition, this lock is specially made, which makes the Bagua Meridian copper core lock machinery more precise, and has higher requirements for the technology of the lock picker, which is why this Bagua Meridian Mandarin Duck copper core lock will be more difficult to open.
But from the appearance, there is hardly any mechanical device to be seen here, it seems that this lock can not be found at all, first of all, this lock does not have any key jack, not to mention the structure of the lock can be seen, the principle of which seems to be similar to the Luban lock in our country.
This lock is divided into three layers, respectively on the top, on the high platform and at the bottom, symbolizing the three talents of heaven, earth and man.
Confucius said that those who have three talents, heaven and earth, have heaven and earth, and people are between heaven and earth.
However, here is arranged according to the easy hexagram in the eight trigrams, each hexagram is three lines, arranged from top to bottom, talking about heaven, people, and earth.
The ancients believed that the basic elements that constitute the phenomena and meaning of life are heaven, earth, and man.
"Heaven" refers to the space in which all things live, including the sun, moon and stars, the four seasons are not chaotic, and the cold and summer of day and night change in order, "earth" refers to the mountains, rivers and earth where all things grow and various property resources, and "man" is the spirit of all things, and it is necessary to conform to the heaven and earth to nurture all things, and finally achieve the ideal realm of "God in the sky, holy in the earth".
"I Ching: Hexagram": "It is the way to establish the sky, and it is said that yin and yang; The way to stand on the ground is said to be soft and rigid; The way of establishing a person is to say benevolence and righteousness; With three talents and two of them, the six paintings of "Yi" become a hexagram. The meaning of human existence is the same as that of heaven and earth, and heaven, earth, and man are called the "three talents".
First unlock the lock, the lock is divided into two, one is the golden dragon head distributed in the eight directions above the caisson, the dragon head contains a bead, used to keep the power of each direction when the lock is unlocked, if the force is uneven, there will be no chance.
Then there is the boulder surrounded by the faucet in the center, this boulder can move up and down, and when the faucet is all shrunk to a certain distance, the four sides of the boulder will appear keyholes that allow people to put their hands in, and when the keyhole is opened, the lock cylinder will appear from the boulder.
After the completion of the sky lock, it is the human lock, the human lock is in the high platform, the four tomb beasts are the key to opening the human lock, and the stone pillars appear on the ground, so that the lock cylinder of the sky lock and the human lock are combined with the lock pillar, and the human lock will be exposed in the high platform.
Finally, there is the ground lock, which is hidden under the high platform, and you have to unlock the first two locks to see what the ground lock looks like.
Chinese locks are broad and profound, and there are many ways to classify them alone. In general, the form of lock can be divided into "outer lock" and "inner lock", which is what we commonly call padlock and hidden lock.
The sky lock and the human lock are external locks, and the ground lock is a hidden lock, among which the dark lock is more profound.
The level of a lock line also depends entirely on its dark lock production level.
In addition, according to the internal structure of the lock cylinder, it can be divided into two categories: "reed structure lock" and "text combination lock". Among them, the reed structure lock is divided into four types: "wide lock", "citi lock", "torture lock" and "jewelry lock", which are mostly horizontal locks and are mostly used for doors, cabinets and boxes.
Guang lock is commonly known as "Shao lock", folk also called "horizontal lock", "spring lock" or "pillow lock", most of them are copper, the front is concave, the end face is a combination of triangle and rectangle, and Citi lock is specifically used for cabinets, boxes, drawers, etc.
And the text combination lock is similar to today's combination lock. It is a horizontal cylinder, with several runners of the same size arranged on the axis, and the same number of characters are etched on the surface of the runners, and the two ends of the cylinder are two upright columns, and a lock beam is connected to the columns.
When all the characters on the wheel are turned to a certain position, and the characters form a specific string, the lock can be opened without a key.
The number of text combination lock runners is mostly three to seven, and several runners are called several ring locks.
But unlike today's combination locks, the password is not composed of numbers, but words, as long as in a specific position of the lock, the corresponding text can be opened.
The more elaborate combination lock has a mechanism similar to Huarong Dao, which needs to be stitched together with messy images before the lock can be opened.
Of all the classifications, the most interesting classification methods are "explicit locks" and "hidden locks", and the locks mentioned above are all explicit locks. Bright locks, as the name suggests, are locks that can be seen as locks, that is, locks that can find unlocking mechanisms (keyholes, text combinations, or puzzles).
The hidden lock is the most interesting kind of lock, because at first glance, it is impossible to find where the unlocking mechanism is. For example, there is a "secret door" device in a certain part of the lock, which is generally not visible to the naked eye, and the secret door must be opened with one of the two keys in a specific part of the lock, so that the unlocking mechanism will be exposed.
Another hidden lock, called "labyrinth lock", although it is easy to find the keyhole, but the coordination between the key and the keyhole is like the nine-link device we used to play, and the key can not easily reach into the keyhole. If you don't know the trick, it is difficult to open the lock in three to five minutes, and this kind of lock is designed using geometric principles, physical structure and reverse thinking, like the "Tianmen Array", making it difficult for people to enter the battle.
I've seen a kind of "labyrinth lock" in ancient books, in which the mechanism can be described as ingenious, I hope we don't encounter this kind of lock this time, otherwise I really can't go back.
"It's really as amazing as you said", Leng Bingyan looked at Yan Wenbin suspiciously, according to his understanding of the Yan family, even if the Yan family is a famous tomb robber family, but when it comes to Yan Wenbin, he will definitely not know anything.
Because his grandfather would not teach these to Yan Wenbin, let alone the text and pattern records of various tomb organs, but how did she know that Yan Wenbin was born with the blood of a tomb robber family in his bones, and his grandfather didn't let him see it, and Yan Wenbin had a lot of methods, so he kept many things in mind.
"Director Leng, I believe his words, because the gossip meridian copper core lock he said, my grandfather once mentioned it to me, but because the text is incomplete, and it is only an oral transmission, I will not solve it."
"But my grandfather also said that according to legend, the three locks of heaven, earth and man are equipped with complex mechanisms and knives, and any external force that tries to force them open will trigger the mechanism and activate the knife device to smash the hands that people reach in," said a very white-looking boy standing next to Leng Bingyan.
“
Is there really an artifact like what you say? Since we can't open the three locks, then I'll blow up here, I don't believe that you can't blow up the ground with explosives", Leng Bingyan didn't believe what others said, but her assistant said that Leng Bingyan was convinced of the knowledge of locks.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce, this is my assistant Li Wen, the heir of the Chinese lock-making family, the military secrets of the Special Service Department of the Military Command Bureau, many of the enemy's confidential documents are hidden in the safe, and he got it."
"This is Yan Wenbin, his grandfather is a celebrity in the burglary, I believe you all know, what is your opinion on blowing up this place with explosives", Leng Bingyan deliberately matched the two to join forces, after all, their time is limited.
"No, as I have said, the anti-theft technical means of ancient tombs mainly include strong mausoleums, anti-theft mechanisms, curse intimidation, secret burials, suspicious graves, thick and thin burials, and no ashes".
This burial chamber is to hollow out the mountain, this kind of "because the mountain is hidden", the form of the cliff tomb that does not cover the mound, which is also to a large extent also out of the motive of anti-theft, the design of the entire North Mountain is excavated into a large stone coffin, where can someone shake it! ”
In addition to the fact that the whole tomb was excavated in the middle of the cliff, the tomb and the tunnel were filled with huge stones to prevent tomb robbers from entering the tomb chamber through the tombway.
And although the entire tomb is hollowed out of the mountain, it looks very solid, but this is not a tomb, but a front hall, and this is just a fake tomb used to confuse outsiders, and the real tomb is still below.
The roof of the front nave was not hewn out in one piece, but was built up by hand.
Lao Hu and I fell because the top collapsed, and there was a small valley above, with a pool of water and a lot of river sand.
The anti-theft measures in the front hall are the same as those of the quicksand curtain.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in some tombs, there has been a practice of "accumulating stones and accumulating charcoal" in the tombs, accumulating stones to reinforce, accumulating charcoal to prevent moisture, and playing a role in preventing theft.
The method of "accumulating sand" to prevent theft was also invented during this period.
After the quicksand tomb is fixed in the coffin, the amount of sand is filled from the bottom of the tomb to the ground, charcoal is added to dry the sand, and the mobility of the sand is strong.
The ingenuity of this method lies in the "overcoming of rigidity with softness", if a grave robber tries to enter the tomb by digging a hole, he will immediately fill the hole as soon as he digs a hole. Unless the sand in the entire tomb is removed, you will have to "look at the sand and sigh".
But the quicksand tomb is suitable for the north, because the climate in the north is dry, and the quicksand should not be wet by water, otherwise the sand will lose its fluidity, but here, people will adapt to local conditions, and build the front hall under the riverbed, there is both river sand and water, once this place collapses, we are either buried alive or drowned by water.
The burial chamber is dozens of meters deep, and the only place that can go down is the center of the high platform, but now the Bagua Meridian copper core lock has been installed, and the only way is to open the lock.
But the first thing to find the lock is, I think the password is hidden in the front room, in fact, we haven't figured it out yet, Yan Wenbin looked at the front of the high platform There is a stone door, but the stone door is generally not found.
