Zuo Youdao said on the side: "When it comes to clever arrangement, if you are not a master among masters, he only needs to look at the feng shui in the area of the swimming water, and he can guess what the mechanism array under the water is like." Zhou Lianshan, your opportunities for meritorious service are very limited, don't waste our time. ”

Zhou Lianshan was indeed a little panicked, but the line of defense in his heart was still there, although his face hesitated when Zuo Youdao said the tiger, but after a while, he still chose to be silent.

It is said that Zhou Lianshan should not be such a person who can keep secrets in particular, he refused to speak, as if he was afraid of something.

I don't care what he's afraid of, what I care about is how to get to the bottom of the lake.

I tried to ask Zhou Lianshan: "The mechanism at the bottom of the lake should have four to six valve ports, right?" ”

The valve port mentioned here is actually the power valve used to open the mechanism, and I estimate that the underwater mechanism should be unusually large and heavy, and the normal manpower valve should not be able to open.

There is a characteristic of the Yishan Array, that is, no matter how it is arranged, there will inevitably be two valve ports, plus the layout of the mechanism is also nested with four elephant bureaus and black yarn arrays, one bureau and one valve, that is, four valve ports.

In addition, in the organ technique, six is a pole number, and even in the Luban book, there is a saying that "the formation is not six", that is, in a mechanism array, only six small formations can be nested at most, once the number of small arrays exceeds seven, it is difficult to form a large array, and even if it is formed, it is extremely unstable, which seems to be an iron law, but the principle is unknown.

Of course, if you list all the organs together in a parallel state with no intersection at all, it's okay to list as many as you want, I'm not talking about listing, but nesting, and all the small formations are interlocking and influencing each other.

In the same way, there will never be more than six valve ports in a trap array.

I suspect that in addition to the Quartet, Wusha, and Yishan, there are also other formations nested in the big array at the bottom of the lake, so I asked Zhou Lianshan that.

Zhou Lianshan deliberately lowered his head, not wanting me to see the expression.

But the ghost eye doesn't care whether he lowers his head or not, as long as he is exposed to the vision of the ghost eye, whether it is the front of the body, the back, the face, or the back of the head, I can see it clearly.

I don't know why I didn't get used to it when the ghost eye first formed, because what this eye sees is completely different from what ordinary vision sees. It's like looking at Picasso's paintings, except that Picasso presents multiple dimensions on a two-dimensional image, while what I see is a large number of three-dimensional figures scattered on the same plane.

It's really hard to describe, but you can just assume that what I see with my left eye is Picasso.

I can now see the nervousness on Zhou Lianshan's face, which is a kind of tension that is extremely worried that his heart will be seen through by others.

I then asked, "There are four valve ports?" ”

Zhou Lianshan's expression did not change.

"Five Paths?"

Zhou Lianshan still maintained the same expression as just now.

"That's the Six Paths." I gave a clear answer straight to the point.

At this time, Zhou Lianshan's face showed an incomprehensible expression, he seemed to have become very firm all of a sudden, and he seemed to have become more and more depressed.

When ordinary people have such strange expressions, it means that they are trying to imagine what will happen in the future, and they plan to come up with a response plan in advance, because they have to deduce the trend of things at a high frequency, so their faces will become so shaky.

I didn't plan to play this little trick with Zhou Lianshan, you scare me and I bluff you, and then said to him: "Since there is a four-elephant pacification game (four-elephant open heaven game) nested under the water, that is, there must be a valve port located in the open heaven position. The west side of the water swing is against the mountain, and the east side is flat, and the sky is open, that is, due east. If you go into the water from the east bank of the swam water, you should be able to find this valve port, right? ”

Zhou Lianshan's face had stopped changing, and his forehead was soaked with a large number of beads of sweat.

Looks like I'm right.

I went on to say, "The shape of the swim resembles a goose egg with irregular edges, and the midline is not correct, about 15 to 20 degrees away from the meridian...... As I remember, there seemed to be a large swamp on the east bank. Now think about it, calculate the declination angle between the middle line and the meridian of the lake, and that swamp is located due east of the whole body of water. If you enter the water from near the swamp, you should be able to find the first valve port easily. ”

On this side, I just finished speaking, and on the other side, Zhou Lianshan sighed: "Don't say it." ”

I said, "What's the matter, you're finally willing to speak?" ”

Zhou Lianshan collapsed on the ground like a deflated ball, sighed for a long breath of air, and said sullenly: "I can plant it in your hands, I will take it." ”

In fact, if I continue to deduce, I can also deduce the position of the other five valves, but that is too much time, the fastest whole day, the latest three or four days, how can we have so much time to delay?

Of course, Zhou Lianshan wouldn't know that I just pushed the best valve port to find the show, and he didn't know how long it would take me to find all six valve ports, but this guy is very smart, and he knows very well in his heart that once I push all the valve ports, he will be of no use to us.

If he didn't open his mouth again, he would lose even the last chance to make meritorious contributions.

This time, Zhou Lianshan didn't dare to hide anything, and he left it all behind.

He confessed that he didn't know much about mechanics at all, but he had a drawing left by the immortal in his hand, which showed all the details of the large array at the bottom of the lake, and the location of the valve port was also clearly marked.

There is an eight-immortal kitchen in the Ming Hall of Zhengshan, and there is a dark groove on the inside of the kitchen foot, and the drawings are stuffed into it.

Without my orders, Zhang Donghai immediately sent two people to Mingtang to get the map.

After the people left, Zhou Lianshan continued to explain the matter of the four-legged fish.

He said that the four-legged fish was originally the river god of the generation of the swimming, and that during the Yuan Dynasty, there was a large-scale geological change in the local area, which caused the river to be cut off, and the four-legged fish was trapped in the water, until Wang Zhi built a dark room here, and then invited it out again, so that it could block the waterway and prevent the prisoners from swimming and escaping from prison.

I felt that something was wrong with these words, so I interjected and asked him, "How did Wang Zhi know that there was a fish demon under the water?" ”

Zhou Lianshan said: "At that time, in order to build a dark room, Wang Zhi sent someone to find a master from the local area to see Feng Shui, and later found a blind man surnamed Xu, it is said that this person is a descendant of Xu Jiawan, and he knows the situation in the area of swimming and swinging very well, and this Xu blind man told Wang Zhi that there is a river god under the water. ”

I asked him if Xujiawan was the village that was built near the swam pond and later flooded.

Zhou Lianshan said yes, and listened to what he meant, before the Xu family bent and sank, nearly half of the people in the village moved outside, they seemed to know in advance that the river was going to rise, and they went very quickly, but this group of people didn't know what they had done.

It was as if the people who escaped from the water were cursed.

I asked Zhou Lianshan, was the big tomb at the bottom of the lake built by Wang Zhi, and why did he build such a tomb?

Zhou Lianshan said that there is indeed a very large man-made complex at the bottom of the lake, but that is not the purpose, but the darkroom.

The torture chambers and cells we saw in the underground rift before were only a small part of the entire darkroom system, and the real main room was actually located at the bottom of the lake.

At the beginning, Wang Zhi spent a lot of money and huge labor to build the darkroom, it was indeed just to satisfy the distorted desire in his heart, but Xu Blind, who was directing the construction in the swimming water, had other plans.

Zhou Lianshan didn't know what Xu Blind was planning, he just heard from the previous generation of door masters that the dark room built by Xu Blind at the bottom of the lake was not for Wang Zhi at all, but for himself, but the dark room did not play any role after all.

The darkroom at the bottom of the lake was built from the thirteenth year of Chenghua (1477), and it was not until the twenty-first year of Chenghua that the work was stopped, and for eight years, the people outside only saw the laborers go in, but did not see the laborers come out.

To be exact, except for Xu Blind and those who couldn't get out after entering, only Wang Zhi knew what was at the bottom of the lake.

In the twentieth year of Chenghua, Wang Zhi was demoted, and Xu Blind relied on the money in his hands to forcibly let the project continue for another year.

In the end, no one knows whether the dark room at the bottom of the lake was built or not, and Zhou Lianshan only knew that when Chenghua was twenty-one years old, the owner of Guiyin Mountain became a corpse demon after his death, and Xu Blind said that he wanted to suppress the demon, so he pressed it in the dark room at the bottom of the lake, but from then on, Xu Blind Man was gone, so that the successive masters of Guiyin Mountain suspected that he also sneaked into the dark room, and finally died inside.

As for why Zhou Shan was obsessed with the things at the bottom of the lake, Zhou Lianshan's explanation was that the reason why the old master of Guiyin Mountain became a demon after his death was very likely to have something to do with the fact that he had eaten the Immortal Pill, and the pill was refined by the old master according to Xu Fu's prescription, but unfortunately the recipe was not complete, and the pill that was refined was also a residual medicine.

Zhou Lianshan thought that Zhou Shan was very likely to know that the old master had taken the Immortal Pill in the past, so he was so concerned about the mechanism at the bottom of the lake.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh: "How can there be such a thing as an immortal pill in the world, I really want to live crazy." ”

Who knew that Zuo Youdao suddenly interjected: "Xu Fu did refine the Immortal Pill back then, but the prescription was not handed down." Where did the old master of Ghost Yin Mountain get the recipe for the Immortal Pill? ”

In the latter sentence, Zuo Youdao said to Zhou Lianshan.
