Chapter 35: Three Options for Blocking Your Life
The people of Liu invited me to crack the ancient cuttings combination lock, and I did not refuse, because I had some considerations. Before I got to the stone wall, I placed all the long stone bars on the ground and listed two possible ways to activate the mechanism.
But I actually have some doubts, but I don't know if I should say it. Between hesitations, the big black man couldn't hold back his patience and said to me anxiously: "What else? You'd better hurry up. ā
I knew that saying the next words would make the people in the dimly lit secret room lose their morale, but I had to say that I had no choice but to say what I thought, "Although the number of stone bars estimated by using the earth as the direction is just right, the most correct and proper guess is actually not true. On the contrary, I think that speculation based on the direction of the earth will definitely not be this choice, and with the wisdom and wisdom of the ancients, it will definitely not set up such a simple and easy to speculate mechanism. ā
I spoke in a small voice, but the effect was as strong as a bombshell, and the people around me immediately began to talk to each other.
Liu Da, the matchmaker, asked me with a smile: "The first speculation about the southern fire position, the remaining two jacks, what does the little brother think?" ā
I shook my head without hesitation, indicating that my mind was now a mess, and I had no exact inferences in mind. If we don't solve the problem of the remaining two jacks, we will have a hard time getting out of here.
Seeing that I shook my head, the crowd squatting on the ground began to stand up one after another, and then gathered in groups to discuss passionately.
The fat man pulled me to a secluded corner and took a look around. Then he lowered his voice and asked me, "Lao Zheng, haven't you really thought of how to get out?" ā
Instead of answering the fat man's question, I asked the fat man with a smile, "Why do you ask that?" ā
The fat man stared straight into my eyes and said, "People don't understand." I can easily see through the smile on your face, and I can clearly show a confident look. ā
I looked at the fat man and said to him with a hippie smile: "I really can't hide your eyes from Lafayette." ā
The fat man punched me and said to me with a smile: "You are a little nonsense, tell me, what do you think?" ā
I looked around, and the Liu brothers and the black man were divided into two groups. Each occupies the left and right corners of the stone wall and is discussing, and no one pays attention to me here, so. Then he whispered to the fat man: "You don't look at who I am, master, I am extremely smart, and I have already come to a conclusion and seen the doorway." But. There are three conjecture results. I'm not sure which one it is, if I get it wrong, the person who inserts the key will definitely be more than lucky, and I don't want the three of us to make a mistake. ā
The fat man smiled very much and said to me: "What's the difficulty, you tell me your speculation, I have a way to get them to take the initiative to be the guinea pig in the real yĆ n room." ā
I smiled and said to the fat man, "With your intelligence, what good way can you come up with it?" ā
The fat man was about to have a seizure, and I immediately smiled and told him what I thought.
As per my inference. It should be very clear that the key to the first jack is "fire", and the rest is the "Bingding" of the heavenly stem and the "Siwu" of the earthly branch that match the south of the direction. And the last two remaining jacks must also be related to the "fire" of the five elements. The ten heavenly stems "pentate" are combined into fire, the twelve earthly branches "Maoxu" are combined into fire, and the five elements and fire are related to "wood makes fire" and "fire gives birth to earth".
Therefore, three conclusions are drawn that the "Wuqi" of the heavenly stem, the "Maoxu" of the earthly branch, and the "wood and soil" of the five elements.
However, there is a more complicated speculation that the relationship between Shengke and Rush is too complicated, and generally such a complex mechanism setting will be used in relatively large mechanism formations, and will not be used in this simple combination lock. I couldn't decide which one was right to choose, and the only way was to try them one by one. In this way, the person who opens the lock near the stone wall has a great risk, and if he doesn't get it right, he will take his life.
I would never let the three people on our side risk their lives like this, so I didn't tell them any more conclusions, in case they were ruthless people who would jump over the wall in a hurry.
The fat man was confused about the Five Elements Formation, but he learned that there were three answers, and he had to try them one by one. So he looked at the crowd in the distance and said with a smile: "There are no ready-made candidates here now." ā
The fat man turned his head and said to me with a strange smile: "Lao Zheng, don't worry about the next thing, just watch the excitement on the sidelines, and see how I let these guys voluntarily go to the thunder." With that, he stood up and strode towards the stone wall where the alcove was located.
When I saw the fat man's confident appearance, I knew that he was going to break the water, so I smiled silently and followed him to see what the hell he was doing. I thought to myself: These villains, who are different from the outside, are going to be unlucky.
The fat man walked to the stone wall with a niche on his face, and without saying anything, he reached out and inserted the stone bar engraved with the word fire into the hole, and then calmly reached out and picked up another stone bar.
I never expected the fat man to be so bold, he really had no doubt that he believed in my reasoning.
The people standing in front of the stone wall all looked at the fat man dumbfounded, almost forgetting to dodge, and all of them were stunned to see the fat man put the stone wall on the top of the stone wall, and the first five square holes were full of stone bars, and in the dark and unknown stone room, no changes occurred.
After the fat man finished his crazy move, he turned around leisurely and said to the Liu brothers and the black man, "We can go out now, but" Halfway through his words, he looked at everyone, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the fat man's body, and his eyes lit up in anticipation.
Jiang Ye couldn't help but speak first: "Fat brother, do you have any requirements, or do you have any difficulties, say it and solve it together, we are now brothers who are in the same boat and depend on each other for life and death, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, but don't hide it." When the others heard this, they also expressed their approval, and they begged the fat man very enthusiastically to continue to finish speaking.
After the fat man's crazy show just now, many people immediately ignited a strong hope for survival. Of course, count on the fat man, the savior, to lead them out of the sea of suffering.
The fat man first glanced at Jiang Ye, and then said, "I don't have any requirements." But whether you can open the stone gate or not depends on your guts, and whether you really want to get out of this gloomy and closed ghost place? ā
The big black man said to the fat man with a calm face: "Of course we all want to go out, but there are so many stones left, do you want us to try them one by one?" ā
The fat man smiled and shook his hand and said, "Of course you don't have to try one by one, my brother has a smart mind and has already calculated three sets of choices." One of them will be able to open the stone door and let everyone leave safely. But I don't know which brother who has both courage and backbone dares to try out the first group? ā
When I heard the fat man's words, I immediately felt very funny in my heart. What kind of clever idea is this, who would take the initiative to raise their hands hot-headed, and they wouldn't play like this in a hurry to reincarnate!
After the fat man finished speaking impassionedly, everyone bowed their heads and remained silent. Who dares to laugh at the end of their lives. The fat man didn't say anything more. Instead, he picked out the six stone strips of "Wuqi, Maoxu, and Mutu", and put them on the ground together. Then he pulled me into the distance and quietly looked at the people in front of the stone gate.
I whispered to the fat man, "Can you do this?" ā
The fat man said to me with a smile: "The opportunity to leave is clearly in front of you, there will definitely be people who can't bear it, you wait to see a good show." ā
I looked at the fat man who was full of confidence. But in my heart I don't think so. And then I suddenly realized that at such a critical juncture. The smoke man actually fell asleep against the corner of the wall, and couldn't help but sigh and said: This big brother's heart is inevitably bigger!
The Liu brothers, who were gathered near the stone wall, were the first to move, they walked in front of the black man to discuss something, and then walked towards us together. I saw a treacherous smile flash across the fat man's face, and the fat man stepped forward with a rare smile on his face.
Liu Da's dark and thin cheeks were full of hypocritical smiles, and he smiled and said to me, "I have long expected that the ingenuity of the little brother will definitely be able to rescue us from the house." ā
I smiled and didn't speak, the big black man glared at Liu Da, and said loudly: "We have discussed, each group of people will choose a set of stones, and then take turns to go over and try it out, little brother, what do you think?" ā
Each group of people, that is to say, the Liu brothers, the black man, and me and the fat man and the three people. There are only three of us here, and there is no way I can agree to this mention. But I didn't expect that the fat man next to me immediately nodded happily and agreed to say "yes".
The smile I had been on my face disappeared all at once, and I looked at the fat man in amazement.
The fat man continued with a disapproving expression: "The previous five stone bars were inserted by me at the risk of my life, and the method of opening the stone door was also thought out by us, so the next thing will be to trouble your two groups of people first." You can't just do it without spending any effort, just wait for a meal! Besides, this time you are a person who "draws things", and now it's time to give full play to your abilities, or you will really become a useless person, so are you embarrassed to take the weapon in this bucket? ā
The fat man said very unbearable words in his ears, and said it with a smile, and the few people standing in front of him were a little embarrassed and blue-faced, and they were scolded by the fat man like this, and their faces were somewhat unbearable.
The big black man first exchanged glances with the people around him, but when he saw the thin old man with white hair nodding, the big black man immediately agreed with the fat man's suggestion: "Okay, you are in third place." ā
Liu Da, who had a matchmaker, heard the approval of the black man, and immediately showed his friendliness, and said to the fat man with a smile: "Fat brother, don't worry, you have done the most, we all know in our hearts, and you will be ranked third when you unlock the lock, and when you touch the device, your share is naturally indispensable." ā
I was very impressed by the fat man's unexpected means, and because of his weak character, I wanted to find a way to do both things without hurting anyone. However, knowing that it was in vain, he didn't dare to face the wind, and the fat man's decisive and daring personality to sacrifice just perfectly solved the current dilemma. And Liu Da is really a complete slippery head, he doesn't know if he has a fate to find out if he is going to be next, but he himself wrote a blank check first, wanting to be a good person and win us over. But I don't know how we will be short-sighted because of petty profits.
The matter was solved simply and satisfactorily by the fat man, and he was in third place to unlock the lock, undoubtedly waiting for a safe departure, so that the three of us would not have any danger to worry about.
After Liu and the others left, they went to discuss the order of unlocking each other, and I smiled and said to the fat man: "Comrade Qian Guangrong, I didn't expect that when your intelligence and talent also emerged, I thought that wisdom and these things were eaten by you and pulled out after digestion." ā
The fat man said to me with a smile: "Fake Sven, the wisdom of the people is like a surging river. You should humbly seek advice from others so that you will not be overwhelmed by the tide of ignorance of the world. ā
I smiled and replied, "Comrade Fat is right, I still have to learn more from you!" ā
The fat man bared his big white teeth and smirked smugly.
The order has been divided in front of the stone gate, using the simplest method, the two sides sent a person to guess the boxing, two wins in three games, the group of black men, very unfortunate to become the first team to try the key.
Then the black man's team pushed out an unlucky man, a short, thin man of a very obscene appearance, who picked up two rectangular stone bars on the ground with trembling hands, and walked tremblingly to the stone wall, his hands trembling like chaff. After the stone bar in his hand fell several times, it was finally inserted into the square jack on the stone wall.
In front of everyone's eyes, the first stone bar was safely passed, and just when everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the thin man inserted the second stone bar into the stone wall, and the accident happened instantly. (To be continued......)
