Chapter 869: Second Instance Zhou Lianshan
The answer to this question should be in Zhou Lianshan's hands.
But Zhou Lianshan is not Pan Jiuzhou, and it is quite difficult to deceive anything from his mouth.
I pondered for a long time and couldn't think of any good way, but then I simply didn't want to, so I pulled Zuo Youdao and went straight to the small hall where Zhou Lianshan was.
Since Zhou Lianshan is not easy to deceive, let's get straight to the point.
Before entering the small hall, I turned on the light in the alchemy room.
This is a deep mountain, and it is certainly unrealistic to expect the power company to provide electricity from the outside, so in this kind of sect, there are usually their own small power plants, and the advantage of generating their own electricity is that they can be self-sufficient, and the disadvantage is that the voltage is not stable enough, and it is also very troublesome to transport coal into the mountains.
It is precisely because of the unstable voltage that as soon as the power is turned on, the light bulb on the roof begins to flicker faintly.
Pan Jiuzhou seemed to have difficulty adapting to this sense of turmoil, and asked loudly if there was anyone outside, this guy's mood was already unstable, and now he was so nervous, I was really afraid that he would be scared crazy, so I went out and called a few people to come in to accompany him.
When Zuo Youdao and I came to the small hall where Zhou Lianshan was being held, Zhang Donghai was standing guard at the door with two brothers from the Jingzi lineage, and when he saw us coming in, Zhang Donghai sighed: "This Zhou Lianshan is really a trouble, from the time he was escorted in until now, he hasn't stopped." β
"What did he do?"
There was no light in the small hall, and even though the light outside had stabilized, the room was still dark, and I took the oil lamp from Jing Zimai's brother as I spoke.
Zhang Donghai said on the side: "In the afternoon, I kept shouting that I didn't want to live, so I let our people jump on him with a shot." Later, after Pan Jiuzhou was isolated from him, he hit his head against the wall again and almost killed himself. β
I shook my head with a smile and came to Zhou Lianshan with an oil lamp.
Zhang Donghai had already blocked Zhou Lianshan's mouth as I had instructed earlier, and I first tore off the tape wrapped around Zhou Lianshan's cheek little by little, and then pulled out the strip of cloth that pressed into his mouth.
Zhou Lianshan first retched for a while, then stretched his neck and shouted outside the door: "Eat inside and outside, nothing is planted!" β
He's scolding Pan Jiuzhou. With Zhou Lianshan's thoughts, of course he knew why I detained him and Pan Jiuzhou, and he also knew what kind of heart his precious apprentice was, and he must have been left with everything when he was so frightened by us.
Zhang Donghai moved two chairs over, and Zuo Youdao and I sat in front of Zhou Lianshan with horns on the left and right.
I held the oil lamp and carefully illuminated Zhou Lianshan's face with the firelight, but I was not in a hurry to speak, I just smiled at him.
Zhou Lianshan kept staring at it with his back, and he estimated that he was a little weak in his heart, so he took the initiative to speak: "You guys kill me." β
I couldn't help but laugh: "We can't do this kind of thing." But if you really want to die, you can kill yourself, and don't hit your head against the wall, death is too ugly. You bite your tongue and kill yourself, after biting off your tongue, swallow it, block the valve, and after a while you will hang up, although the death will not be too good-looking, but at least the head is not deformed. β
Zhou Lianshan looked at me silently, his face changed several times in a row, and he couldn't say a word.
If this guy really wanted to die, he would have cut himself as early as Shi Sheng's suicide, so do you have to wait until now? At that time, he still had a little mental power left in his body, as long as his mind moved, let the meridians go wrong, the gods couldn't save him, and now the last bit of mental power in his body was scattered, and he threatened to commit suicide, when everyone else is a fool?
Why did he kill himself? It's nothing more than a gesture, telling us that he is a very backbone person, and he is not even afraid of death, and of course he is not afraid of my coercion and temptation, anyway, it means that no matter what we do, he will not cooperate with us.
But the harder a person acts, the more it shows that he is more afraid in his heart.
Seeing that Zhou Lianshan didn't speak for a long time, I raised my chin at him: "What's the matter, do you plan to continue to cover up Zhou Shan, or do you plan to continue to pretend to be stupid and spend it with us?" β
Hearing me say this, Zhou Lianshan suddenly laughed: "No matter what I think in my heart, you can't do anything about me." β
I leaned back in my chair and asked him with interest, "Then tell me, why can't we do anything about you?" β
Zhou Lianshan smiled gloomily: "You are all people in the physique, you can't be tortured, you can't kill people, I'm not wrong." What you can do now is to restrict my freedom, not to keep me hungry and cold. In a few days, you'll have to hand me over to the organization, but so what, I haven't committed a capital crime, and I'll have to be released for a few years. Won't I be as good when the time comes? β
I nodded, "Well, you can see that." Okay, since you're so honest, then I'll be honest too, and let's open the skylight and say something. Zhou Lianshan, let me ask you, why would Zhou Shan be interested in the corpse demon under the water, what do they want from the corpse demon? β
Zhou Lianshan is now like a hedgehog who can't die, hanging his head and not looking at me, only replying: "I don't know what you're talking about." β
I ignored him, and then said: "The ancestors of Guiyin Mountain became corpse demons after they died, and the matter of being suppressed under the swimming water should only be known by the masters of the previous generations, right?" After all, it's not a glorious thing, and I don't want more people to know about it, which I can understand. But why did the successive masters know about this? I can't figure it out. The people who suppressed the corpse back then could have chosen to completely hide the facts, but why didn't they do it, and why did they have to let such a shameful thing be passed down from generation to generation? β
Zhou Lianshan snorted sullenly: "Don't waste your efforts, I won't say anything." β
I still ignored him, and then said: "I think the reason why the ancestors of Ghost Yin Mountain did this is that they hope that one day, their disciples and grandchildren will be able to open the underwater tomb and let the corpse demon see the light of day again. β
When he said this, Zhou Lianshan "snorted" from his nose and said in a very low voice: "Joke." β
Looks like I guessed wrong.
But it doesn't matter, I didn't expect to be right right as soon as I came up.
Then I asked Zhou Lianshan: "What is the structure of the underwater mechanism?" β
Zhou Lianshan sighed sullenly and did not speak.
I said, "Eight Dunjia, Five Elements and Four Elephants?" β
Zhou Lianshan's face did not change in the slightest.
The world has yin and yang, the most dangerous is the four elephants and five elements, and the most wonderful is the gossip. But if it is a mechanism, it will definitely not be able to escape the structure of the Eight Gates Dunjia and the Five Elements and Four Elephants, so it is absolutely impossible for me to guess wrong, but why did Zhou Lianshan's face not change at all.
At this time, I suddenly remembered that in the second half of the "Ten Oceans", it was recorded that in the Hongwu period, the Ministry of Industry had set up a cleverness battalion, which housed skilled craftsmen from all over the world to design institutions for the imperial tomb.
During the Ming Dynasty, there were many ceremonial crowns, that is, hats worn on formal occasions (some informal occasions can also be worn), and the more common ones were Dongpo scarves, Sifang Pingding scarves, fΓΊ heads, black gauze hats and beam crowns.
The so-called "commensurate with the ceremonial crown" is to change the name of various institutional structures to the ceremonial crown.
For example, the common four-elephant opening heaven bureau in the layout of the organ is renamed the four-way peace game, and the yin and yang array is renamed the black yarn array.
The ingenuity camp set up by Ming Taizu lasted until the period of Ming Renzong before it was abolished, but the craftsmen in the camp were scattered among the people, and the rhetoric that catered to the official family should also have a certain degree of circulation.
By the way, since Akihito had only been emperor for ten months, and Zheng He had passed away eight years after his death, I suspect that this Karakuri camp was probably rebuilt shortly after it was abandoned, and Zheng He was very old at that time, and did not have the energy to continue writing his Shiyangzhi, so that this matter was not recorded in the books.
Especially after seeing the cells and torture cells in the underground rift, I became more and more sure that there must have been many great craftsmen in the imperial court at that time, and if there were no craftsmen and only labor, it would not have been possible to build such a large-scale underground structure.
While thinking about this, I casually said three words: "Wusha Array? β
As soon as the word "array" blurted out, Zhou Lianshan's shoulders trembled quickly.
I guessed it this time!
No matter how complex the mechanism at the bottom of the lake is, it will definitely contain one or several black yarn arrays.
When I went to swim before, I had a general view of the feng shui there, and that place was originally a typical four-elephant feng shui bureau, and the arrangement of the four-elephant array could get unexpected miraculous results.
So I said to Zhou Lianshan again: "Quartet settles the situation? β
Zhou Lianshan didn't shake his shoulders this time, but he was already sweating on his forehead.
I looked at Zhou Lianshan's face that was getting more and more empty, but I was thinking about what Pan Jiuzhou said before, Pan Jiuzhou said, Xu Shigao often goes into the water to investigate, but he has never gained anything, you must know that this guy has been in Guiyin Mountain for several years, even if he doesn't understand the technique, he shouldn't have no gain at all, right?
If what Pan Jiuzhou said is true, there is only one explanation, that is, the mechanism under the water is too hidden and too complicated, and Xu Shigao either did not find the location of the mechanism at all, or he found the mechanism, but he didn't know how to get it open anyway.
Among the many trap formations of the Hongwu Karakuri Battalion, the most hidden, the most complex, and the most unbreakable formation is called the Wing Shan Array.
You must know that the Wing Shan Crown is a hat that can only be worn by members of the royal family, and the craftsmen gave such a name to the formation, which shows their respect for this formation.
I deliberately lowered my body and leaned into Zhou Lianshan's ear and said, "Yishan Array? β
This time Zhou Lianshan couldn't stay calm anymore, his eyes widened, and he stared straight at me: "How do you know?" β
