Chapter 732: The Figures in the Old Mansion

Originally, I thought that I could break the Thousand Spider Array by throwing a flashlight in, but I didn't expect the mechanism of the Lao Jin family to be so powerful that it could automatically restore its original state.

He Wenqin was still struggling with the figure at this time: "I did see a shadow just now, how could it be ......?"

I couldn't help but interrupt him: "He Lao, help me hit the light." ”

As I spoke, I pointed to the stone lock on the latch.

He Wenqin immediately hit the light on the lock, which looked unremarkable, and there was nothing unusual except for a layer of moisture hanging on the lock surface.

I tried to pull the lock off the latch, but it stuck to the latch and wouldn't pull at all.

can't be wrong, this stone lock must be the door left by the old Jin family. Just now I was thinking, after all, these stilted buildings are where the Jin family stays, and they can't design the mechanism so deadly, and they will definitely reserve a way to crack the mechanism in advance.

Many of the tricks actually follow the Yili of the Eight Gates Dunjia, which will have eight doors of opening, rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, death, and shock, and the "door" here is not necessarily an exit or a road, but may also be an inconspicuous trap valve or a lever hidden inside the mechanism. The stone lock in front of you is the best example of this.

I suspect that inside the stone lock, there is probably a hidden stake in the valve used to crack the Thousand Spider Array.

Just as I cautiously squatted down, lifted the stone lock slightly, and looked at the back of the stone lock, the white old dog came over silently and squatted down to help me light.

By the light, I saw that three narrow grooves were dug side by side on the back of the stone lock, and each groove was inlaid with a silver prism, because the main part of the prism was embedded in the groove, and it was impossible to see how many edges there were.

This thing is the equivalent of the combination lock that is common on suitcases today, and the correct edge must be turned outside in order to break the mechanism.

But the problem is that only the Jin family knows the password, and I just rely on guessing, the probability of being able to guess is very low, and if I turn the wrong face, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

The old white dog also saw a little doorway, and asked me: "The arrangement of the edges should be according to a fixed law." ”

I said, "The point is that we don't know exactly what kind of rules it follows." ”

As I spoke, I put my ear on the stone lock, and gently knocked on the lock surface, and there was a slight vibration sound inside, as if there was a small spring vibrating slightly, and the movement was very empty, and it seemed that there should be a large cavity inside the stone lock.

I stood up, grasped the stone lock with both hands, and squeezed it hard, and there was a crisp "click", the lock surface was pinched and broken, and several cracks spread along my fingers.

He Wenqin couldn't help sighing: "This finger power! ”

To be honest, I haven't used all my strength yet, and I'm afraid that the Karakuri inside the stone lock will be crushed.

Then I borrowed a dagger from Lao Ruan, carefully pried open the crack in the stone lock, and saw that the lock cylinder was composed of three spring X-pieces of different lengths, and through the gap between the spring X-pieces, I could see that the prism was not straight, but slightly curved.

The curvature on the three edges is different, some are high in the middle and low on both sides, and some are only one end high. The three facets come together to look like three waves in the water.

I told the old white dogs to retreat to the stairs first, and then tried to stir the reeds, and the first reed was picked up, and immediately the sound of poisonous needles exploding was heard in the room.

This time, the poisonous needles flew towards the door, and I didn't dare to be careless, so I quickly flashed aside.

Fortunately, the reaction was fast enough, if it was a little slower, I would have been pierced into a hedgehog, and the strength of the poisonous needle was so strong that it could pierce directly through the door panel and fall on the edge of the entrance of the building like a torrential rain. Thanks to the white old dog, they also withdrew early, otherwise, it is estimated that there will not be a few living people left now.

After the poison needle hit the ground, about thirty seconds later, I heard three reeds from the stone lock, "horn, horn, horn", and the mechanism on it actually moved by itself.

My flashlight had already been shattered by a poisonous needle, and I couldn't see what kind of changes had happened to those small organs just by relying on Qi Sha, so I hurriedly shouted towards the staircase: "Uncle Bai, light!" ”

The white dog rushed down the stairs in a hurry, raised the flashlight, and hit the light directly in my face.

"Shine Stone Lock!"

When I shouted like this, the white old dog hit the beam on the stone lock, and then I saw clearly that the reed X, which was originally pressed on the prism, was all warped at this time. When the scattered poisonous needles were magnetically sucked back into the room, the three reed X-plates flicked again and returned to their original appearance.

It seems that the lock mechanism must be controlled by three people at the same time, and the three people quickly rotate the prism together, and when the correct edge is facing the spring X, the spring X can be lifted with the help of the curvature on the edge.

I didn't want to go to such trouble, so I first broke all three reed X-plates, then tore a piece of gauze and folded them into three stacks under the reed X-plates to prevent them from returning to their original shape.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the gauze was put in, there was a noise in the room.

My heart twitched, and I quickly flashed to the side, but after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the poisonous needle shoot out, but the noise in the room continued.

What's going on? I was surprised, so I dared to go to the crack in the door and look, and saw that the gap between the floor tiles had widened, and countless poisonous needles were rapidly rolling down into the gap.

Seeing that the poison needle was almost gone, I quickly struck out, picked up a needle from the closest place to the crack in the door, and looked at it carefully.

It just so happened that the white old dog also came over, and the poisonous needle was illuminated by the light, and all the details on it could be seen clearly.

Surprisingly, these poisonous needles were made of hardwood, and the wood texture can be clearly seen on the needle body, and the needle and tail are inlaid with magnets as hard as steel. The magnet was coated with poison powder, and I wiped it with my hand, and it was still stuck on my fingers.

Throwing the poison needle into the crack of the door, I began to mutter, why did the old Jin family use wood to create the poison needle, wouldn't it be more effort-saving to use magnets directly, and these woods can withstand the erosion of moisture and not deform for decades, indicating that the old Jin family has done special treatment, using wood as a needle, which is definitely deliberate.

Use wooden needles to march in formation, and the thousand spider array in front of you is probably a wooden array. The old Jin family is proficient in the five elements of yin and yang, and the five elements are arranged in the order of germination and evolution, that is: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.

The old white dog asked me on the side, "Can you go in?" ”

"Do you have a spare flashlight?" I asked the white dog.

Bai Laogou didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out a flashlight from his backpack and handed it to me.

I told the others to wait outside for a moment before carefully digging through the crack in the door with a flashlight. It wasn't until they walked around the house that they felt no more dangerous than they let them in.

In the northwest corner of the house is a staircase leading to the lower floor, which is made of iron and has a moisture barrier that has fallen off and is now very fragile. Everyone was always vigilant as they walked down the stairs.

Fortunately, there were no particularly heavy people in the team, and the journey was quite smooth.

This floor was about the same as the one we had walked on, but it was a large empty space, but there was a shiny reflection on the ground in front of us, and a large amount of black powder buried under the grease, like gunpowder.

The old white dog may have seen me throw a flashlight into the Thousand Spider Array, and he did the same, took out a can from his backpack, shook his hand and threw it forward.

When I first saw him take out the can, I thought he was hungry, but who would have thought that he would suddenly throw the can out.

At that time, I had the heart to scold my mother, but I didn't have the time to really scold, so I quickly threw off the yang line and put the canned meat that flew in the air back.

The old white dog still licked his big face and asked me, "What are you doing here?" ”

I was immediately annoyed: "Uncle Bai, don't you just toss around if you don't understand the mechanism?" This place is a fire oil array, and if you throw a can of meat at it, if you touch the mechanism, we will all be burned to coals. ”

The white old dog stretched his neck, looking like he wanted to come back, but before he could speak, he heard He Wenqin shout: "Stop!" ”

When He Wenqin shouted, he also held a flashlight to shine in a straight direction, and I immediately looked towards the place illuminated by the beam, and saw a thin figure quickly flashing under the east wall, and before I could see the person's appearance, he went down the stairs, and I could only vaguely see that the clothes on his body seemed to be earthy gray.

Before, He Wenqin said that he saw a figure in the Thousand Spider Array, I still don't believe it, he really didn't look away, it was indeed a person, a living person!

He Wenqin shouted again: "Stop!" But the footsteps of the other party had disappeared on the staircase.

Lao Ruan hit a light on the staircase and asked He Wenqin urgently: "Is it your brother?" ”

But He Wenqin shook his head: "It's not family luck, but that person ...... I always feel like I've seen it somewhere. ”

A living person inexplicably appeared in the Jin family's old mansion, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressing, and He Wenqin and Lao Ruan were also very nervous when they spoke.

Who was that guy and how did he get in? What is he doing here? How did he pass through the old Jin family's trap array safely?

Countless questions linger in everyone's mind, and there are no answers.

I picked up my flashlight, first shot the light at the entrance of the building, and then shifted the light downwards to illuminate the oil on the ground, trying to find the footprints left by the man, but to no avail.

That person must be very familiar with the arrangement of the mechanism here, and even knows how to get through the large array without touching the mechanism, but if we want to get there, we can only crack the mechanism first.

It was not clear what the purpose of that person was going deep into the old mansion, and we did not dare to delay any longer, so everyone took out their flashlights and carefully observed their surroundings.

The white old dog soon spotted the flint on the roof, and Lin'er swept the wall behind the stairs to find a stone slab with a keyhole in the wall.
