The ghost box is opened
"Uncle Kong...... Why can't I understand this unlock? "I can't help but wonder if this old man is shaking us. [Ran^Text^Library] []. []. [>
"Alright, let's go back and discuss it first!" Uncle Kong hurriedly put away the paper and said.
So Uncle Kong and I hurriedly drove out of the community and found a place to have breakfast first. After returning to the store, Uncle Kong took the box out again, saying that it was time to change places, and I proposed to take it home, so that no one would disturb him, but Uncle Kong strongly objected, because if the golden pig wanted to look for him, the first place to go might be his house. In the end, Uncle Kong said that he would go to the city to find a hotel to open a room, but he couldn't use his ID card to open a hotel, so he had to use mine, because he was afraid that he would be tracked down by the golden pig if he used him.
So, Uncle Kong and I hurriedly returned to the city with the box and the mantra, and found an inconspicuous hotel near the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to stay.
After coming to the hotel house, Uncle Kong immediately locked the house, then pulled up the curtains, and then carefully placed the box on the table. The next thing we need to do is to study the unlocking decision given by the old man, because if we don't understand these words, the box still can't be opened.
Uncle Kong took out the piece of paper and spread it on the table, and said to me, "Qingnian, come here, let's study and study together what this mental method means!" Hearing this, I quickly pulled a chair and leaned over, only to see Uncle Kong read the mantra word by word according to the words of the face, "It is a treasure of a day, a thousand cattle are not allowed to enter, if you want this thing to open, come to watch the well and the moon at night, two hundred and eighty-one minutes, ice and fire!" After reading it, Uncle Kong frowned, pointed to these two lines of mantra and said, "This first sentence 'Muddy Ran's Treasure of the Day' is easy to understand, it should mean that this thing is precisely structured, as if it is a thing, and the third sentence 'If you want this thing to open' The meaning is also very clear, but the rest of the sentences are more difficult to understand, you see this 'Thousand Cows are not allowed to enter', Thousand Cows should refer to one thing, and what is Guanjing Yue implying about?" What does this thing have to do with Inozuki? And these last two sentences, 281 divisions, ice and fire, are really difficult to understand, Qingnian, you are a college student who reads a lot of books, can you analyze what these sentences may mean for your uncle? Uncle Kong said with a sad face.
It's the first time I've seen Uncle Kong so helpless about something, and I carefully read these few sentences on one side, but I can't find the gist, so I can only speculate and say, "Uncle...... I think this 'thousand cows' will not be a kind of master key, this 'thousand cows can not enter' should be said that this natural treasure is very strong and reliable, even a very powerful 'thousand cows' can not open it, as for 'if this thing opens, come to watch the well moon at night' these two sentences should literally mean that to open this thing to go to the well at night to see the moon in the well, but if it is even more strange according to this meaning, the opening of the box has a hairy relationship with watching the moon, and, I think the most critical thing about this method should be the last two sentences 'two eighty-one divisions, Ice and Fire Heavens', but I don't understand these two sentences at all, what do these two and eight refer to, and where do they come from? I scratched my head at a loss.
"What you said makes some sense, but don't be discouraged, let's think about it slowly, we will definitely be able to understand it, the lock is in front of you, and you can't give up easily! Think again! Uncle Kong touched the box and comforted me and said.
When I stared at those few lines of mind and thought hard, my mobile phone suddenly rang, and the sudden sound startled me, I quickly took out my mobile phone and saw that it was Xiaoyu calling, what was Xiaoyu calling? I thought to myself.
"Uncle...... It's Xiaoyu's call, do you want to answer it? I asked.
"Light rain?" Uncle Kong was also puzzled why Xiaoyu called at this time, "Pick up!" Hurry up and pick it up! Uncle Kong hurriedly said.
I answered the phone, and Xiaoyu asked me where we were, saying that he and she went to look for us in the store but found it empty.
I hurriedly said that we were outside, and Xiaoyu asked where it was, saying that she was coming to look for us, but she didn't say what she was looking for us.
I blocked the phone and asked Uncle Kong if he wanted to tell Xiaoyu where we were, Uncle Kong thought about it for a while and nodded.
So I told Xiaoyu the address, and Xiaoyu said that she arrived immediately, and then hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, I asked Uncle Kong, "Uncle...... What do you say Xiaoyu is looking for us to do now? Could it be that the old man suddenly figured it out and asked Xiaoyu to tell us what this trick means? ”
Uncle Kong shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, it's not like you didn't see it yesterday, Old Man Song doesn't want Xiaoyu to get close to this box at all, how can he let Xiaoyu help us solve the formula!" ”
I think about it, and it seems that I am still too optimistic, and I always like to think in a good direction about everything.
Half an hour later, Uncle Kong and I still had no substantial progress in unraveling these few sentences, and at this time, someone knocked on the door.
I looked at Uncle Kong, I guessed that Xiaoyu was coming, but Uncle Kong didn't open the door immediately, but wrapped the box and hid it in the closet, and only opened the door after putting away the trick.
After Xiaoyu came in, Uncle Kong immediately locked the door again.
"You two big men come to the hotel in broad daylight and close the door so tightly, what are you doing inside!" Xiaoyu asked as soon as she entered the door.
"Why are you here, did your grandfather find out in his conscience and asked you to help us open the box?" I asked hurriedly.
"Don't mention it, I came out behind my grandfather's back this time, if his old man knew that I was here to find you, he would have a heart attack!" Xiaoyu threw the bag on the bed and said.
Hearing this, I was immediately disappointed, and I was still waiting for Xiaoyu to send good news, but who knew that what I was waiting for was this result.
"Listening to your tone, it seems that the box hasn't been opened yet, hasn't my grandfather already told you how to open the lock?" Xiaoyu asked rhetorically.
"Don't mention the mantra your grandfather gave, I can't understand it at all!" I said.
"Can't read? How could it be, show me it! Xiaoyu exclaimed.
"Why, listen to you, you still don't know what your grandfather wrote to us?" I asked.
Xiaoyu glared at me and said, "Nonsense, how can I have a chance to see it, after eating early, I saw my grandfather lying on the table and writing a few lines, and then handed it to Zhang's mother to take out and give it to you, but I didn't see what he wrote, no, I just found a chance to sneak out to find you, see if you opened the box!" ”
Listening to Xiaoyu's words, Uncle Kong was stunned, but he didn't show the same loss as me, and then smiled, "Xiaoyu, you came just in time, Qingnian and I are worried about how to solve this trick, you just came to help us come up with ideas!" Saying that, Uncle Kong took out the paper from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yu, after Xiao Yu took the paper, he read the heart recipe in a low voice, and then his brows gradually wrinkled, and after a long time, Xiao Yu raised his head and said, "I probably understand the first four sentences, but the meaning of the last two sentences is not very clear, but I feel that the most critical part of the opening box heart formula given by grandpa is also the last two sentences!" ”
"It makes sense, Qingnian and I also think so, so how do you understand the first four sentences?" Uncle Kong hurriedly asked.
Xiaoyu explained, "'A treasure of a day, a thousand cows cannot enter' should mean that this treasure is as close as a natural thing, and even the sharpest Qianniu knife can't be opened, and 'if this thing is opened, come to watch the well and the moon at night' should mean that to open this treasure, you must see if there is a moon in the well at night, and the last two sentences '281 division, ice and fire two heavens' I can't understand what these 28 divisions and ice and fire two heavens refer to!" ”
Uncle Kong and I both nodded after hearing this, and felt that what Xiaoyu said made some sense, the only difference between Xiaoyu's point of view and my idea was that I thought that Qianniu should be a lock-picking tool, and Xiaoyu said what kind of Qianniu knife it was.
"Xiaoyu, what is the Qianniu knife you just mentioned, I thought this Qianniu was referring to a lock-picking tool?" I asked, puzzled.
When Xiaoyu heard this, he looked at me and Uncle Kong, and said, "I don't know how much you know about cold weapons, according to legend, during the Warring States Period, Niu Han, the first weapon forging master of Chu State, spent seventy-seven forty-nine days and nights to create a sharp blade as thin as cicada wings but sharpened iron like mud, and named it Qianniu Knife, and later this Qianniu Knife was paid tribute to the King of Chu, and the King of Chu couldn't put it down and fought a lot of battles with this treasure knife, so this Qianniu Knife is also famous. The thousand oxen mentioned in this heart recipe should not enter, which should mean that the sharp thousand ox knife cannot open this box! Xiaoyu said.
Kong Wu and I nodded, feeling that Xiaoyu's explanation should be correct, and I was impressed by Xiaoyu again, it seems that the edification she received in the treasure connoisseur family can really come in handy at a critical time.
Uncle Kong breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Sure enough, there are many people and great strength, it seems that several of us have now reached a consensus on the first four sentences of this heart-to-heart decision, and we all think that the most critical clues to open the box are the last two sentences, but the difficulty also happens to be difficult in these two sentences, let's think about it again, what does this 'two eighty-one divisions, ice and fire two heavens' mean!" Uncle Kong held his chin and frowned and said.
"By the way, Uncle Kong, have you brought the box, I want to see if I can find clues in the box!" Xiaoyu looked around the house and found that there was no box, so she asked.
Uncle Kong then remembered that he had hidden the box in the cabinet just now, and quickly took it out and put it on the table for Xiaoyu to see.
I saw Xiaoyu take the box in his hand and look around, as if he was looking for a keyhole, but how can I find any keyhole in this box, if I want to find it, Uncle Kong and I have already found it, looking at this strange box Xiaoyu's brows furrowed again, and said to himself, "This thing doesn't have keyholes, I took a closer look, there is no gap around this thing, if this is really a box that can be opened, then there must be two parts of the box cover and the box body, otherwise how to put something inside?" ”
As soon as I heard Xiaoyu's words, I think her analysis is very reasonable, if the thing can really be opened, then no matter how close the lid and the body are in contact, there must always be a little gap, the box body can't have any traces, it seems that Xiaoyu's analytical ability is indeed superhuman, I really don't know how she can have such a mind at such an age.
Just as I was in a trance, Xiaoyu suddenly turned her head and stared at me with big eyes and asked, "Brother Qingnian...... How many centimeters is an inch? ”
“3。 3m, right, this elementary school student knows it? "I don't know what Xiaoyu is doing when she suddenly asks this.
Xiaoyu immediately turned around when she heard this, only to see that she measured the length, width and height of the box with her palm on the surface of the box, and after measuring, she raised her head and said to me and Uncle Kong, "I measured it, this box is about 40m long, about 25m wide, and about 35m high, but in ancient times, there was no centimeter system, and it was generally measured in inches, so if this box was placed in ancient times, its specifications should be 12 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 10 inches high, and in these three different sizes, Only the height of 10 inches can be divided into 28 equals without producing a remainder, which is just in line with the saying of the '281 division' of the heart formula, so we can boldly imagine that the dividing line between the box cover and the box body should be eight inches high, which also means that the box is ten inches high, and the box body occupies eight inches, and the box cover occupies two inches! Such a design example is still very common sense for a box! ”
Uncle Kong and I were shocked when we heard this, why didn't we think of this, and Xiaoyu just held the box and played with it for a while to come to such a reliable inference.
Uncle Kong was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately took the box from Xiao Yu's hand, and looked carefully under the light, as if looking for the joint between the box cover and the box body that Xiao Yu said, but he didn't know if the light in the house was not bright enough or the gap was too small, Uncle Kong didn't find it immediately, Uncle Kong held the box to the window of the room, opened the curtains, and the dazzling sunlight immediately illuminated the house. After looking at it for a few minutes, Uncle Kong raised his head and shook his head and said to us, "I still can't find a crack!" Could it be that Xiaoyu's inference is wrong, or that this thing is so delicate that the naked eye can't see any gaps at all? ”
Xiaoyu's inference has not been verified, so what went wrong? Everyone was silent again.
"That's not right...... Something is wrong...... We overlooked a problem! "Looking at the sunlight pouring in from the window, a question suddenly occurred to me.
"What's the problem?" Xiaoyu and Uncle Kong asked in unison.
"What do you think is the first sentence of '281 division'? It's 'come to watch the well and the moon at night', this sentence should have its truth before '281 division'! And we are ignoring this sentence now!! I said.
"You mean, if you want to see this '281 division', you have to be in the night when there is a moon?" Uncle Kong asked.
I nodded.
"But...... Do you think it makes sense that you can't see the line between the lid and the body of the box in the sun's abundant light, but you can see it in the dim moonlight at night? Xiaoyu asked.
To be honest, Xiaoyu's question stumped me, and I didn't know how to answer her, so the room fell silent again, and the three of them were all thinking about it with their heads covered.
Suddenly, Xiaoyu slapped his leg and shouted happily, "I figured it out, Brother Qingnian is right, this thing should only be able to see the lineline in the moonlight!" ”
"Why do you say that?" I asked hurriedly.
"Brother Qingnian, you have also been in college, have you forgotten that the physics teacher in high school said that the reason why light can be transmitted in the air is because there are many tiny dust particles floating in the air, and the light is transmitted through the reflection of these particles from each other, but the stronger the light, the more powerful the reflection between the particles, just imagine if the box lineline is so small that it can't even accommodate the general dust, the stronger the light, the more you can't see this line, sunlight and bulb lights are strong warm light sources, And moonlight is a light and cold light source, so I speculate that the 28th minute line of the box should be visible under a cold light source like moonlight! Xiaoyu said.
"You mean that this box can only see the divider line when the evening moon comes out, but now that the smog in Xi'an is so serious, how can you see any moon!" I said.
"It doesn't have to be moonlight, fluorescent lamps also belong to the cold light system!" Xiaoyu said.
"So a normal money detector is fine?" I asked.
"That's right!" Xiaoyu said.
"That's not easy, the kind of small money detector lamp with the key hangs is more than ten yuan a piece, and the street is everywhere, I'm going to buy one and come back!" With that, I set off to buy a money detector.
Ten minutes later, I successfully returned to the hotel house with two money detector lights.
After the house was dark, the three of us gathered around the box, waiting to see if we could find the lineline as scheduled, only to see that Xiaoyu turned on the money detector lamp, and began to search carefully in the half of the box, it turned out that Xiaoyu's inference was correct, and sure enough, Xiaoyu used the money detector lamp to find a thin crack in the most square about two inches from the box, and the gap finally appeared under the light of the fluorescent lamp, at this time several of us were excited, Finally found where the box cover was, but then the problem came again, how to open the box cover, Uncle Kong hurriedly turned on the room lamp and held the box in his arms, grabbed the box cover tightly and broke it a few times, trying to open the box cover, but who knew that the box cover seemed to grow with the box body, and it didn't move at all.
"Uncle Kong, don't bother, be careful to touch the self-destruction device of this box, to open this box, you should still need to use the last sentence 'Ice and Fire'!" I persuaded Uncle Kong.
At this time, Xiaoyu spoke again, "Actually, I was already thinking about this question when you went down to buy something, if we really found the linear with cold light, how should we open this box?" ”
"So how are you thinking, do you have any ideas?" I asked hurriedly.
Xiaoyu touched the part of the box lid and said, "You and Uncle Kong have also seen it, this box cover and the box body do have a line, so why can't the box cover be opened, I think there is only one reason, is that this box cover and the box body are like a pair of buttons, once the box cover is stuffed into the box body, it will be tightly buckled with the box body, if you want to rely on a single person to pull out such a large button, if you borrow other forces to force it open, it will touch the self-destruct device, so if you want to open this box in a peaceful way, You have to figure out what the last sentence means, 'Ice and Fire'! According to my understanding, this box is made of rosewood, which has good temperature conduction performance, so to open this pair of buttons, ice and fire must be used at the same time, and the high temperature of fire is used to heat the box, so that the box body expands, and the box mouth expands, and at the same time, the low temperature of the ice cube is used to reduce the temperature of the box cover, so that the shrinkage size of the box cover becomes smaller, so that this big button can be opened without too much effort, which is what I understand as 'ice and fire'! ”
After Xiaoyu finished speaking, Uncle Kong and I were completely stunned, unable to say a word for a long time.
"Xiaoyu, what is your brain made of, or I will worship you as a teacher!" Uncle Kong's admired five-body throw!
"Uncle Kong, let's hurry up and try to see if I can open the box!" Xiaoyu smiled proudly.
Say dry, we immediately decided to try the method of light rain, the ice cubes are good to say, the hotel generally has, but it is not easy to heat the box, because this box is wooden, so I dare not directly put it on the fire heating box body, with the conditions of the hotel can only be dipped in hot water with a towel slowly covered.
So, I hurriedly went downstairs to find ice cubes, Uncle Kong boiled hot water in the house, and after everything was ready, we began to act separately, I was responsible for wrapping the ice cubes in the cloth to cool down the box cover, and Uncle Kong and Xiaoyu were responsible for boiling water and covering the box with hot towels.
During this period, Uncle Kong tried to pull out the box lid twice, but it was unsuccessful, I touched the box cover, it was not too cold, and the box body was not too hot, so the towel temperature was slightly lower, Uncle Kong quickly changed to a hotter piece to cover the box body, and the ice cube in front of me has begun to melt, after changing the towel two or three times, the box body was finally warmed and baked, and the box cover also became very cold because of the melting of the ice cubes.
"I feel like it's almost warm, try again!" Uncle Kong said.
I hurriedly stabilized the lower half of the box, Uncle Kong stood and grabbed the box cover tightly with both hands, and lifted it hard, suddenly, the box cover was scratched, like a crisp sound like the button was pulled out, and the box cover moved!!
A few of us were stunned and didn't dare to speak out loud, yes, the lid of the box did move!! The entire box lid has been pulled up by Uncle Kong by a centimeter or two!
"Uncle...... The lid has moved! The box can be opened! Xiaoyu, see it, the lid of the box is unplugged! I couldn't believe my eyes and said excitedly.
The two of them stared at the box at this time and opened their mouths wide and were stunned, their faces were surprised and happy, because everyone didn't expect to really open the lid of the box with this method!!
However, Uncle Kong didn't pull up the lid of the box all at once, but stopped there, and suddenly said to me and Xiaoyu with a serious face, "Qingnian, you and Xiaoyu quickly withdraw from the house, close the door for me, and don't come in without my greeting!" ”
Seeing that Uncle Kong's expression suddenly changed from surprise to seriousness, I asked puzzled, "What's wrong...... Uncle Kong......"
"Didn't you listen to Grandpa Xiaoyu, this box was spelled by the Yin Gu, anyone who sees the things in the box when the box is opened, if you can't break the spell, you and Xiaoyu will quickly withdraw, I can open this box!" Uncle Kong said in a stern tone.
"What...... Uncle Kong...... You're going to open the box yourself...... But if it's true, this box has been spelled...... Isn't that ......" I said as I looked at Uncle Kong in panic.
"It's come to this, there's no other way, if you don't get the things in the box, sooner or later it will fall into the hands of the golden pig, if there is really any Yin Gu curse, that's also the will of heaven, arrange for someone to open this box, I also accept my fate!!" Uncle Kong said with a seemingly righteous attitude.
"But...... Uncle Kong ......, "I still want to persuade Uncle Kong again."
"Okay, Qingnian, don't say anything, if you still treat me as your uncle, hurry up and go out with Xiaoyu! If you don't recognize me as your uncle, then the two of us will be strangers from today onwards! Uncle Kong said to me sternly.
"Uncle Kong...... I ......, "I'm in a hurry and don't know what to say."
At this time, Xiaoyu spoke, "Okay, Uncle Kong, since you have made up your mind, I will go out with Qingnian!" After speaking, Xiaoyu pulled me and signaled that it was time for me to go out, I didn't expect Xiaoyu to be ruthless at this time, of course, maybe she had already seen that Uncle Kong had made up her mind, and it would be useless to say anything!
In the end, I don't know how I was pulled out by Xiaoyu. After going out, I heard Uncle Kong lock the door behind his back. And I was stunned and didn't know what to say, the joy when I opened the box was long gone, my heart was full of worry about Uncle Kong, I didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if there was really some Yin Gu spell in that box, and I couldn't figure out why Uncle Kong took such a big risk to open that box.
Xiaoyu and I stayed outside the door, time passed minute by minute, I don't know what the situation is in the house at this time, whether Uncle Kong has opened the box, and if it is opened, what is in the box. After about four or five minutes, I pondered that Uncle Kong should have opened the box, but when I put my ear to the door and listened, there was no movement in the room, and I looked in through the cat's eye, Uncle Kong was sitting at the table with his back to the door, and I didn't know what he was doing, seeing that Uncle Kong didn't come to open the door, Xiaoyu and I had to continue to wait.
Seven or eight minutes passed, but Uncle Kong still didn't come to open the door, at this time, I was a little anxious, what was Uncle Kong doing inside? Xiaoyu looked at the watch on his wrist and said to me, "We've been out for fifteen minutes, why hasn't Uncle Kong moved at all, shouldn't it be ......", speaking of this, Xiaoyu frowned worriedly.
"Don't scare me......" I said hurriedly.
"Scaring you...... Listen to if there's any movement in the house, there's no ......," Xiaoyu said.
Originally, I was already anxious in my heart, but now I was stimulated by Xiaoyu again, I really couldn't wait, I had to see how Uncle Kong was doing, I hurriedly turned around and knocked on the door, "Uncle Kong...... Open the door ......"
But I saw Uncle Kong sitting there motionless from the cat's eye, as if he didn't hear me call the door, I slapped the door a few more times, and shouted, "Uncle Kong, open the door quickly......", but there was still no movement in the house, now I was really frightened, I looked at Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu's face was also full of horror and worry!
No, I have to hurry in and have a look, I twisted the doorknob, but the door is locked inside, so I can't open it, in a hurry, I suddenly remembered that the door card seems to be in me, I quickly took it out, brushed it, and the moment the door of the room opened, Xiaoyu and I hurriedly rushed in......
