Chapter 72: The Password

The size of this disc is about slightly larger than the palm of the hand, about five centimeters thick, and there is a protrusion on each side, which can be held and wrenched with two hands.

Lao Pan said, "How is it? ”

"It seems to be able to be turned, there is a gap in it, and if you take the twelve symbols on this stone slab as the twelve earthly branches, and then take the direction of the stone pillar as the direction of twelve o'clock, and now the position opposite this gap should be in the direction of nine o'clock."

Ah Sheng calmly said his analysis, Lao Pan nodded, and said, "So, is it possible to align the gap on this disc with a certain direction to open the mechanism?" ”

Ah Sheng said: "Most likely it should be, but I tried it just now, this disc is not a stone, it should be an iron plate, and it is estimated that it is rusty inside, and it can't be pulled at all." ”

When Lao Pan heard this, he also stretched out his hand, touched the disc, took a closer look, and frowned: "It's really iron, so what can we do to open it now?" ”

Ah Sheng thought for a while, and then said: "This iron plate is rusty to death, the only way is naturally to pour oil oil into it, I just brought a little oil here, but I don't know if it's enough." ”

As he spoke, he went to look for oil in his backpack, and Ansari suddenly said, "Wait, I'm afraid it's not as simple as lubricating with oil." You can see that it was covered with blood, why? ”

Naturally, we didn't know why, so I guessed, "Maybe it's to sacrifice the heavens with blood, but it can't be lubricated with blood?" ”

Lao Pan said: "In fact, blood can also play a role in lubrication, and in some ancient organs, there is also the flow of water to power, if there is no water, it is natural to use blood, this is the most convenient, can be taken at any time liquid." ”

"But now that we have fire oil, we don't need to use blood, besides, where to get so much blood at this time, we can't ......"

Before I finished speaking, Dongzi next to me heard it clearly, and retreated in fright, and I laughed and said, "What are you afraid of, we won't want your blood." ”

Lao Pan's face was slightly gloomy, and he said lightly: "If you really need it, you can ask for my blood, you remember, we are not making games now, we are in our business, we must be ready to drop our lives at any time, otherwise, we are not worthy of being a grave visitor." ”

In his words, he paid special attention to the tone of the three words "tomb visitor", and Ah Sheng also said with a stern face: "Pan Ye is right, now let's try it with fire oil first, if it doesn't work, then use blood." ”

I couldn't help but be slightly stunned, the corners of my mouth twitched twice subconsciously, and I stopped talking.

Ansari didn't say anything more, just looked at Lao Pan and them, and seemed to nod casually.

Ah Sheng took out the fire oil on his body, it was a small sealed iron kettle, just like the military kettle in the past, but the size was much smaller, he carefully put the spout on the edge of the iron plate, the position of the gap, and slowly began to pour the oil .

He chose a very clever position, the oil flowed in through the gap, and flowed into the shaft under the iron plate without any waste, and after pouring it for a while, he stopped, tried to pull the iron plate in both directions a few times, but there was still no response.

So he continued to pour the oil into it, and then tentatively turned the iron plate, and so on several times, and the iron plate seemed to loosen at last.

But I don't know how big it is under the iron plate, so much fire oil is poured into it, but it is like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, rushing and not returning, all of them flow in, only a small part of it overflows, I use the flashlight to shine, I can only see a small gap, I don't know where so much fire oil flows.

Lao Pan suddenly waved his hand to stop him, and wondered: "It's not quite right, is it empty under this iron plate, why did you pour so much oil?" ”

Ah Sheng noticed this, looked down and said: "If I'm not mistaken, there should be a complete set of mechanism hubs below, and the space is naturally there, this iron plate is just the most critical part that is exposed outside, and there are many things moving inside." ”

Lao Pan frowned and said, "Don't fall first, I'll try." ”

He reached out and grabbed the disc and was about to pull it hard, but I suddenly remembered something, and said to him, "Don't move it yet, you haven't even figured out which direction to wrench it in, and if you make a mistake, you won't get into trouble." ”

Lao Pan looked at me with a strange expression and said, "Then can you tell me which is the right direction?" ”

Naturally, I could only shake my head: "If I knew, we wouldn't have to make such a big effort." ”

"That's not it, since we don't know, then we can only leave it to fate, right is right, wrong is wrong, then let's talk about it. What do you want to do so much? ”

His words made me speechless for a while, pinching my nose and not saying a word, but my heart suddenly lifted, thinking that these people usually look thoughtful and thoughtful, but at critical moments, they are still the essence of outlaws.

Thinking about it, it is true, who dares to carry a knife and gun and break into this place regardless of the danger, who is afraid of death?

Except, of course, for me......

Lao Pan buckled the iron plate, used enough strength, and pulled it in a clockwise direction, but this time there was a reaction, it seemed that the oil still had an effect, and he heard a creaking sound in his ears, just like the sound of the old door shaft that had been rusted for several years, and the iron plate actually turned slowly.

My eyes widened suddenly, and I saw that the iron plate was turning very slowly, moving from nine o'clock to ten o'clock, and then to eleven o'clock, and the crunching, creaking, squeaking, clattering sound of rubbing constantly, sounding very awkward, and giving people goosebumps all over their bodies.

But when Lao Pan turned the iron plate to the eleven o'clock position with all his strength, he encountered a problem, no matter how hard he tried, the iron plate could no longer move, as if it had returned to the state of complete rust just now.

Lao Pan used a few more forces, and he didn't dare to move anymore, and Ah Sheng next to him also tried it, but there was still no response, I wondered: "Could it be that there is also a rusty point there, and then pour some fire oil to try, or, let Da Kui come up?" ”

That guy is the most energetic, it is actually more appropriate for him to do this kind of work, I suddenly felt a little nervous when I spoke, I looked back at the stone gate, and saw Da Kui and Zhang Ye were observing outside, looking back at us from time to time, and then I was relieved, it seems that after they were smashed by me with the burial jade, most of them will not climb the pillar again.

Lao Pan shook his head and said: "Tinkering with this thing doesn't depend on great strength, don't think that we just pulled it indiscriminately, although we have to be bold in this business, but we must be more careful, otherwise we would have died I don't know how many times, just now I almost knew which direction to turn to, how much strength to use, if you let Da Kui come, it is estimated that you don't even know how to die." ”

I was speechless for a while, and then I realized that I had misunderstood just now, and I thought about it, even if I was an outlaw, I wouldn't care about my own life, after all, the first thing to do in this business is to seek money, not to play with life.

I originally wanted to go up and try it, but as soon as Lao Pan said this, I didn't dare to move, but I lowered my head and carefully observed it with a flashlight, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then took a closer look, and immediately found the problem.

"The disc is not one, there are several layers on top of each other." I said, pointing to the disc.

Lao Pan hurriedly lowered his head, also looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "Yes, sure enough, it seems that this thing should be an ancient combination lock." ”

"Ancient combination locks?" I asked curiously, Lao Pan said: "Yes, there are several layers on this disk, if I guess correctly, each layer on it can be separated independently, you see, I also found this, just now here, in the direction of nine o'clock, there is an iron plate that has not moved at all." ”

I looked back at the place just now, and sure enough, there was an iron plate that did not move, and the iron plate looked about a centimeter thick, and I looked at the iron plate that was pulled to the direction of eleven o'clock, and there were four layers in total, that is, there were four layers of iron plates, superimposed on each other.

I suddenly understood, and blurted out: "This is the math problem in Uncle Lu Feng's notebook with 5 out of 11!" ”
