Chapter 63: Interlocking Design (Part I)
"Huh?" Mr. Liao and Zhao Jie, who were chatting, were stunned for a moment when they heard Wang Shaoyi's voice, and they looked at him in unison.
"We're saved!" Wang Shaoyi waved the Chixiao Sword, excitedly dragged towards the sword in the room, and under the curious gaze of Mr. Liao, he suddenly put the Chixiao Sword back into the sword drag.
"Click-" A crisp voice rang out. The sound of the mechanism opening lifted the spirits of everyone in the tomb, and Shen Wuzhi, who had not spoken before, also raised his head suddenly.
All of a sudden, the eyes of everyone in the burial chamber were attracted by the sword drag in front of the house, and no one spoke, and all of them looked there with blazing eyes. All of them were full of anticipation, looking forward to the opening of the door of life, looking forward to escaping from the tomb.
But after that sound, the silence of the chamber returned to its previous silence, and it was like someone pouring a basin of water on a fire, and the hope that had just been kindled disappeared in an instant.
Wang Shaoyi was also stunned and didn't speak, the voice before was clearly the sound of the mechanism starting, but how could there be no movement in the tomb now?
His brows furrowed, and after a while, he reached out and picked up the Chixiao Sword, looked at it curiously for a while, and then put the Chixiao Sword on it again.
There was another crunching sound, but after the sound it fell silent, and there was still no response in the tomb.
Wang Shaoyi was stunned again, he then picked up the Chixiao Sword again, and repeated this several times, but there was no change except for the sound of "click". He was shocked, could he have guessed wrong?
Mr. Liao, Zhao Jie, and Shen Wuzhi all stood up, looked at Wang Shaoyi's back, and cast concerned eyes, worried about whether he would go crazy without the pressure.
After many attempts, Wang Shaoyi finally gave up, and with a shake of his body, he was about to fall to the ground.
"Shaoyi?!"
Zhao Jie reacted quickly enough, took a few big strides, and pulled him up violently before he landed. Only then did they see that Wang Shaoyi's eyes were filled with a look of despair that they had never seen before.
"Shaoyi, are you okay?" Mr. Liao, who came over, asked.
Wang Shaoyi, who was in a daze, heard Mr. Liao's voice, raised his head, and forced a smile: "It's okay." ”
"Did you find anything?" Shen Wuzhi seemed to have recovered from his previous state, and he sensed that Wang Shaoyi was abnormal.
"Huh?" Wang Shaoyi looked up and saw that Shen Wuzhi had recovered, he smiled, stood up, shook his body, and the expression on his face recovered, and then told them everything he had just thought.
"You suspect this sword is another key?" Shen Wuzhi stared at him and asked.
"Well, I deduced it just now, when Su Taifeng wanted to leave this tomb, the only possibility was the Chixiao Sword in his hand, and I didn't notice this before." Wang Shaoyi looked a little frustrated when he thought of his previous attempt, "However, you have also seen it." It seems like. ”
"That's not right." Shen Wuzhi suddenly interrupted him, "The voice just now, I'm sure it's the sound of the mechanism activating, but it seems that it is only partially activated, and it shouldn't be as simple as you think." ”
"So?" Wang Shaoyi was thoughtful.
"Shaoyi, don't be discouraged, we want to go out, or rely on you." Zhao Jie also held his shoulder and said.
"Haha, Shaoyi, you are our lifesaver, don't discourage you!" Mr. Liao said with a big grin.
Wang Shaoyi looked at the brothers in front of him, his eyes were a little pantothenic, he clenched his fists, picked up paper and pen and stared at those words and looked at them again.
Mr. Liao and the three of them didn't speak, they just sat quietly around him.
Time passed, and the hunger in their bellies also came with it, but no one said they were hungry, and all that was left in the bag was the last meal, and after eating they could only starve. Physiologically, they can survive for seven days without food, as long as there is enough water, and the further they go, the more blurred the person's consciousness becomes. I don't know if they'll make it through this.
"Is that so?!" Two hours later, Wang Shaoyi suddenly muttered.
"Shaoyi, what did you find?" Shen Wuzhi stared at Wang Shaoyi, looking at him hopefully.
"Gravity." Wang Shaoyi only said two words.
"What gravity?" Shen Wuzhi asked curiously, "You don't mean to tell me that this sword has a different hilt, so the gravity change caused the mechanism to break?" ”
"If you're really so cheating, aren't we really going to hang here?!" When Mr. Liao heard that the momentum was wrong, he was a little anxious, and he didn't notice the messed up at all.
"Not really." Wang Shaoyi took over, "We have to figure out from the psychology of the designer of the tomb, according to what I saw at the bottom of the coffin before, the designer of this room should be from the Shen family." ”
"People from the Shen family?" Shen Wuzhi exclaimed, he was not present when Wang Shaoyi said it before.
"Yes." Wang Shaoyi then told him what he saw under the coffin.
"I've never heard anyone talk about it." Shen Wuzhi was confused.
Wang Shaoyi nodded: "That's normal, according to the above, your family may be a side line that has lost contact, this is not the point, the point is that as a descendant of the Shen family, you must leave this tomb." So there will definitely be a way out, but at the same time, they have to guard against tomb robbers, and according to what I deduced before, this mechanism is related to the Chixiao Sword and gravity, which way do you think it is most reasonable to design this mechanism? ”
"I see." Shen Wuzhi said violently, "Gravity, Chixiao Sword, so that's it!" It turns out that the connection between the two can open the door to life. ”
"What are you talking about?" Mr. Liao asked with a puzzled expression.
Shen Wuzhi really deserved to be a master of the organ, and he understood it at once. Then listening to what Wang Shaoyi said, the others understood what was going on.
This still has to be related to the psychology that Wang Shaoyi talked about before, and there are only two types of people who enter the tomb, one is the Shen family, and the other is the tomb robbers, or it depends on the motives. The people of the Shen family are guarding the Chixiao Sword, and the tomb robbers are stealing the Chixiao Sword, so the difference between the two is the location of the Chixiao Sword. One is on the sword drag, and the other is in the hand.
Then as long as the Chixiao Sword is put back into the sword drag, the birth gate will be opened. But Wang Shaoyi has tried it before, and the result is a failure, why is this?
Then there is the second point, gravity, from the designer's point of view, the only purpose of the existence of this room is to prevent the tomb robbers from taking the Chixiao Sword, but at the same time, there must be a safe way out for the people of the Shen family.
Then, the following method is the best way for Wang Shaoyi to reason.
Suppose that the Chixiao Sword was originally on the sword drag, and the tomb robber came in, did not know the mechanism, took the sword, and could not leave the tomb. Or find out about the things in front of you, put the sword back in the sword drag, and it still can't leave the tomb. Because it's a pity that he is not a member of the Shen family, the difference between the people of the Shen family and the tomb robbers, yes, is the bloodline, which is the most deadly, to put it bluntly, you are not a member of the Shen family, and entering this tomb is to die.
However, there is another situation, what if a descendant of the Shen family is selfish, then it is the last constraint - gravity. If you are the designer of the tomb, when the Shen family is dripping blood, if he walks towards the Chixiao Sword, or tries to steal the Chixiao Sword with any other tools, such as a long hook lock, this is not desirable.
Then, there is only one way, that is, after the people of the Shen family drip blood, then leave the tomb, and the gravity in the room changes, returning to before no one came in, then you can leave.
But if two or more people from the Shen family became greedy, and several people cooperated, they first opened the door, then stuck the door with something, and then took the Chixiao Sword away.
That's the last link in the design, self-destruction. Judging from the fact that the Chixiao Sword is still well preserved, perhaps everyone in the Shen family who knows the secrets of the tomb knows this, so no one has crossed the Lei Chi.
In terms of design, this is already a very awesome design, this interlocking design, all the purpose, is only one, to protect the Chixiao Sword.
So in the end, this seemingly flawless design, how did Su Taifeng steal the sword in the first place? Only by understanding this explanation can we show that Wang Shaoyi's assumption is correct.
