I took out a pair of trekking pegs from my backpack and hooked out all the metal fragments in the groove with the nail cap, and I saw that the bottom of the groove was pressed against the half-truncated bronze ring.

So far, most of the mechanism components I have seen are made of bronze, and the copper is very simple, and the copper salt on it is also very similar to the bronze unearthed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The use of bronze elements is enough to prove that Xu Blind is an expert in mechanical arts, because the chemical properties of bronze are very stable, and it can maintain relatively good mechanical properties when stored underground for thousands of years, and the cost is much cheaper than inert metals such as gold, silver and platinum.

And the special texture of these bronze elements also seems to prove that Xu Blind's mechanism technique was inherited from the Zhou Dynasty.

Many of the later mechanisms were often built with stone or wood, because the inheritance related to the mechanism was broken at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, resulting in the smelting technique of the original bronze not being handed down.

The reason why the related inheritance of the organ technique was broken was because of the inexplicable disappearance of Lu Banshu.

At this time, I remembered the scene when I found the first half of the Luban book in Xihaigu.

The two places are thousands of miles apart, but there is a faint and inexplicable connection.

I'm thinking about what I've been through over the years, going around and around, as if they could all be connected, but I can't tell if it's a coincidence.

Probably seeing that I had been staring at the half-cut iron ring in the deep groove, Zuo Youdao patted me on the shoulder: "Are you okay?" ”

I came back to my senses: "It's okay, I just remembered some of the experiences in the first few years, and I have to talk to you about my experiences over the years, and you can help me handle it." ”

"What can I do for you? Don't talk about that yet, get down to business. ”

I nodded, took out two anchor hooks made of stainless steel from my backpack, hooked the broken ring at the bottom of the groove, first violently shook my wrist, and relied on the shock force on the anchor hook to shatter the rust under the pull ring.

I had just taken a closer look at the fragments in the slot, and I could roughly estimate that if these were spliced together, they should be able to form a hook for hooking the pull ring, so I concluded that to open the mechanism, just pull the pull ring out.

However, things were not as simple as I imagined, and when the pull tab was pulled out of the notch for nearly a foot or so, I felt a very stiff resistance.

That kind of power, it's obvious that something is holding the chain behind the pull ring.

I didn't dare to deadlift, so I asked Zuo Youdao to grab the chain, and I took out the bell hammer and struck it seven or eight times in a row at the bottom of the groove.

The sound of the bell is more scattered, and when I tap on the left side of the bottom of the groove, it is noticeably more hollow than the sound of hitting the right side.

The bell is scattered, indicating that the structure of the mechanism under the deep groove is more complicated, and I estimate that there should be a lot of square teeth embedded gears, and the sound at both ends of the bottom of the groove is empty, which means that Xu Blind placed the mechanism on the right side, and the left side is very likely to be a cavity.

Thinking of this, I took the chain from Zuo Youdao's hand, and first gently pulled it twice to the right, the chain was still not moving, but I could hear the faint sound of a large piece of rust being crushed from the ground.

Then I tried to pull the chain to the left, and the chain moved slightly, and I could hear a sound similar to the impact of a metal ball underground.

Now I can roughly determine that on the right side of the bottom of the groove, there should be a large area of gear array, and on the left side, there is a more sophisticated occlusion device.

I told Zuo Youdao about the layout of the traps under the ground, and asked him to help me break the rust on the gears.

Without saying a word, Zuo Youdao immediately picked up the green steel sword and struck the ground with the heavy blade, while I continued to pull the chains with even force, trying to get the gears to work as quickly as possible.

Because the components of the mechanism are relatively precise, I don't dare to use the bone-destroying hand to shake the rust directly, so if I don't do it well, it will shatter the fragile support shaft of the gear, once the shaft is broken, it is difficult to open the door of the Seven Golden Stone Sect.

Zuo Youdao dropped the green steel sword again and again, the technique was rapid and meticulous, and I could clearly feel that the resistance under the chain was gradually decreasing.

This is also Zuo Youdao's excellent swordsmanship, plus his control of wrist strength is just right, things will go so smoothly, if it were Li Huaishan or someone else, it is estimated that it would take an hour to shatter the rust on the gears.

After about two or three minutes, I first felt the resistance on the chains suddenly disappear, and then, as the chains were pulled, there was the sound of large cogs turning one after another.

The chains slid down my path for more than a meter, and the crumbling of the ground came to an abrupt halt, and I felt the tight resistance again.

Zuo Youdao immediately took out the green steel sword, I waved my hand at him, signaling him not to rush to do it first, and then I tried to pull the chain to the left side.

Click!

There was a very brief sound from underground, and as soon as I heard it, I knew that it was the snap clasp that had bitten the chains, so that they could prevent them from slipping backwards into the ground unattended.

I tried to loosen the chains, and sure enough, after the snapping sound, the chains were already firmly in place, and there was no need to worry about it retracting on its own.

Zuo Youdao asked on the side: "It's done?" ”

"There is no movement from the side of the Seven Golden Stone Gate, it is estimated that in the ear chamber on the other side, there is a mechanism symmetrical to this side." I shook my head and said.

With that said, the two of us naturally had to go to the opposite ear room to see what was going on.

Sure enough, there was the same stone tablet and the same groove in the ear chamber here, and even the bronze fragments and broken pull rings in the grooves were similar to the ones we had just seen.

The two of us are going back to the old trick and set out to crack the mechanism here.

During this period, Zuo Youdao asked, "Who did you learn your tricks from?" The old family should not have this inheritance. Not to mention the old family, even if you look at the entire industry, only the Muren Valley of Henan Yanshi has a similar inheritance, but their ingenuity inheritance doesn't seem to be as good as you. ”

"I also had the opportunity to read the two volumes of "Luban Book".

"Then you're a great opportunity. Originally, I thought that your Karakuri inheritance was also derived from the Wooden Man Valley. ”

Zuo Youdao said that he had no intention, and I listened to his words, but I muttered in my heart.

Muren Valley is a very small sect, the name of the sect is strange, the behavior of the sect is even more strange, ordinary people can't stand their style of acting, and these people are almost not active in the industry, so that many people forget that there is such a sect in the world.

Although most of my peers in the industry don't know much about the Woodman Valley, I have heard of its name for a long time, because in the "Book of Luban", there is a record of the ancestor of the Woodman Valley "Yanshi", and even in the book "Liezi", you can find a story called "Yanshi Dedication".

At that time, I was wondering if Xu Blind's trick could be obtained from the Woodman Valley, if this was the case, I guessed that there might be someone in the Woodman Valley who knew the relationship between Blind Xu and Shen Wansan.

While I was thinking in my heart about whether to visit the valley lord of the Wooden Man Valley, I hadn't forgotten my business, and my hand was still evenly exerting force, slowly pulling the bronze chain in my hand.

There was a gap between the shattered gears on the left, and I pulled the chain up more than a meter, and when the tight resistance reappeared, I pulled the chain to the left.

There was a crisp "click", the chain was tightly bitten, and at the same time, there was a long sound of stone grinding against stone outside the ear room.

Zuo Youdao immediately went out to check with a flashlight, and since the door of the ear chamber was always open, I didn't have to go out to see the door of the Seven Golden Stone slowly open.

On the other side of the Qijin Stone Gate, there is only a small tomb with an area of only a dozen square meters, and in terms of area, this main tomb is even inferior to two ear chambers.

Zuo Youdao was also puzzled, and stood there and said to himself: "The structure of this tomb ...... Doesn't make sense. ”

"It's really unreasonable."

As I spoke, I had already come to Zuo Youdao's side.

Left Youdao turned on the flashlight, and I turned my left eye to scan the tomb.

The main burial chamber looks very normal, that is, a stone coffin, the coffin is raised with two stone bars, and a deep groove is dug under the stone bars as a burial pit, and on the ground next to the stone coffin, there is also a knee-high stone stele.

The two of us went to the stele to take a look, but found that the stele was not engraved with the life deeds of the owner of the tomb, but a poem.

"The wind drove the rain to sprinkle the high city, and the clouds pressed the thunder and thunder.

After the rain, I don't know where the dragon goes, and a pool of grass-colored frogs chirps. ”

Don't say it, I have really seen this poem in the classics of the old family, this is a poem by Liu Bowen, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, and the poem is called "Heavy Rain on May 19th".

When I saw this poem, Zuo Youdao and I were both confused.

When Liu Bowen named this poem, he had no literary talent, which was extremely strange, and what was even more strange was that such a poem about natural scenery actually appeared in the tomb below.

At present, this tomb is really full of an inexplicable smell, or it contains some kind of doorway that we can't see through.

Zuo Youdao came back to his senses and raised his chin towards the coffin on the side: "There is no corpse gas in the coffin, but the stale smell is very heavy, and there should only be an ordinary corpse." ”

Originally, I wanted to open the lid of the coffin to take a look, but when I heard Zuo Youdao say this, I walked to the coffin boldly and boldly and lifted the lid of the coffin directly.

The air is relatively humid, and it is said that in this environment, the corpse in the coffin has been displayed for hundreds of years, and even if it is not rotten, it is rotten to the point that only the bones remain, but when I lifted the lid of the coffin, I saw an intact dried corpse lying in the coffin, the clothes on its body have rotted to the point that it is not shapely, but the dry skin on its body is extremely complete, and even the scars on the eye sockets can be clearly revealed.
