"No, it's not this." Staring at a ghost-like pattern at the focal point of his vision, Chen Ziyang thought in his heart.

Just now, when he was observing the symbols on the cipher disk one by one, he suddenly had a strange feeling, as if there was a symbol he had seen before, but it should not be the one in front of him. Because when he stared at the symbol closely, the feeling suddenly disappeared.

But the feeling that suddenly appeared just now did exist, so Chen Ziyang thought that maybe someone around this symbol gave him the feeling just now, and it should be the corner of his eye that swept away, so he looked at the surrounding symbols more carefully.

"Weird? I haven't seen any of these symbols around, have I? Doubts emerged from Chen Ziyang's heart, he felt very surprised, the feeling just now was so strong, but why can't he find it again?

"It's not the symbols themselves, it's something else that gives me that feeling." No matter how closely he looked at it, Chen Ziyang couldn't find that feeling anymore, so he thought of it.

Slowly taking half a step back, Chen Ziyang carefully recalled the range of his eyes when that feeling appeared just now, and kept trying to look at it inadvertently again.

"It's the line!" After many attempts, he suddenly came to his senses. Staring at a symbol on the circular cipher plate, Chen Ziyang knew that the reason why that feeling appeared just now was not because he had seen this symbol, but because he seemed familiar with the way this symbol carved the lines.

This symbol is very simple, it is two circles side by side and separated by a certain distance, and then connected by a straight line in the middle, which looks like a dumbbell for fitness.

Compared with several more complex symbols or words around it, this symbol seems out of place, perhaps it is precisely because of the relatively simple relationship between the lines of this symbol that the carving technique of the lines is revealed.

There are dozens of ciphers on the entire cipher plate, and the carving techniques are also different, and it looks like they should have been carved by several different craftsmen.

It's no wonder, after all, these dozens of symbols cover a very wide range, some are pictures, some are words, maybe it is difficult for one person to carve, so I have to separate these symbols, and let people who are proficient in different aspects to carve.

And this dumbbell-like pattern carving technique is very clumsy, even a little rough, I don't know if the lines of this symbol are too simple, the carver is not careful, or some other reason.

In short, the technique of carving this symbol gives Chen Ziyang a feeling, that is, either the person carving is a novice and has no experience to talk about, or this person is very careless and is coping with things, or the person who carves the symbol uses very poor tools and cannot play his due level at all.

But he didn't care what the specific reason was. Now Chen Ziyang kept thinking back to some of the carved symbols and patterns he had seen before, thinking about where he had seen such carvings.

The first thing that Chen Ziyang thought of was the pictures carved by the old king of the ancient kingdom on the dozen or so stone tablets in the long passage.

Because he had been using the same set of tools when carving, by the time the old king carved the last stone carving, the chisel he used was already very blunt, so the lines on the picture were of different depths and widths, and the result was somewhat similar to the symbol in front of him.

But Chen Ziyang absolutely did not believe that there could be any connection between the two symbols, because the stone carvings of the ancient kingdom of Mi Mi caused such a result because of the wear and tear of the tools, and the age difference between that era and the Qing Dynasty was too long, there could be no connection between the two at all.

In this way, Chen Ziyang kept thinking about it. He compared the patterns on the stone carvings he saw in one tomb after another or the underground palace with the dumbbell pattern in front of him, trying to find a possible connection between the two.

After thinking about the three or four places he had been to in succession, and comparing the stone carving patterns printed in his mind with this symbol, Chen Ziyang's eyes widened violently, and he finally remembered.

"It's a shallow-water fish dragon, in Cardinal Wang's tomb!" After slamming his head, Chen Ziyang was annoyed, why didn't he think it was that place for a long time.

In the tomb of Cardinal Wang, the three of them were barricaded in a stone room, in which there was a stone wall carved with many simple drawings, which simply recorded Cardinal Wang's life.

Among the dozen or so drawings carved on that wall, the carving techniques used are somewhat similar to the symbol in front of them, the carvings are somewhat clumsy, and the lines are all relatively simple. After thinking of this, Chen Ziyang compared it more carefully.

The tomb of Cardinal Chen Ziyang was the beginning of Chen Ziyang's tomb robbery career, and because he was blocked in that stone chamber at that time, he spent a lot of time studying the life recorded by Cardinal Wang on the picture, so he was very impressed.

And most importantly, Cardinal Wang participated in the construction of this dragon vein underground palace of the Qing Dynasty, and if there is a symbol he carved here, it is not strange, and even taken for granted.

Judging from the meaning of the pictures in Cardinal Wang's tomb, Chen Ziyang knew that Cardinal Wang went to the shallow-water fish dragon tomb after the construction of the dragon vein project in the Qing Dynasty, and should have stayed there for a long time, and the picture on that wall may have been carved by Cardinal Wang himself.

It's no wonder that the carving techniques are so similar, because they are simply the work of the same person. However, although Cardinal Wang is known as the first craftsman of the Qing Dynasty, Chen Ziyang really does not dare to compliment his ability to carve murals.

After thinking of Cardinal Wang, and then looking at this symbol, Chen Ziyang suddenly understood the meaning of this symbol. It's not a dumbbell, it's not a meaningless symbol carved to confuse the public, it's a pair of glasses.

It was precisely because Cardinal Wang helped Emperor Kangxi repair a pair of beloved glasses that he changed from a small craftsman with no name to a skilled craftsman in the Qing Dynasty.

Although most of the reasons are because Cardinal Wang has real talent and learning, and has extraordinary skills, it has to be said that if he did not have that opportunity, maybe he would not have stood out in his life, or he would have been able to emerge many years later, and at that time he may have been too old to do anything anymore.

Therefore, the pair of sunglasses that Kangxi inadvertently broke became a turning point in Cardinal Wang's life, and this pair of sunglasses represents not only a pair of sunglasses used by the emperor, but also Cardinal Wang's gratitude to Kangxi for his kindness.

After figuring out all this, Chen Ziyang became excited. He knew there was a good chance that he had chosen the correct password.

"Wait!" Before he could get rid of the joy of cracking a code, Chen Ziyang thought of something else. The glasses were like a key, opening the door to the secret completely, and he already knew how to crack the four codes on the codeboard.

The swastika pattern of four dragons gathered together represents the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty, which is a group of dragons that gather together to form a treasure cave.

And this dragon vein underground palace may have been built by four craftsmen who suddenly evaporated from the world during the Kangxi period. Later, after the construction of the underground palace was completed, these four people each chose a treasure hole on the body of a giant dragon as their burial place.

And all four of them turned into corpse demons, lying in a jade coffin with dragon nails, using corpse qi to fix the dragon's body and prevent the four dragons from soaring, thus ensuring that the dragon qi in the four dragon veins can always converge here.

And the password disk in front of him is no more or less, there are just four rings, which are equal to the number of these four people, if there is no connection between the two, Chen Ziyang will not believe it.

Because I had guessed the relationship between the use of this cipher disk before, and saw the pattern of the glasses representing Cardinal Wang, the last layer of window paper had been pierced.

Chen Ziyang knew that on these four rings, there should be a symbol respectively, representing the four craftsmen who built the Dragon Vein Underground Palace of the Great Qing Dynasty. It is very likely that this password disk was set up by four people, and such a special set of passwords was deliberately set up to commemorate the construction of this place by four people.

Now that he had an idea, Chen Ziyang took a deep breath to calm himself down, and wanted to continue along this train of thought and completely unlock this code, but then he found a very depressing thing, that is, except for Secretary Wang, he didn't know anything about the other three craftsmen at all.

The reason why I was able to know about Secretary Wang was because Chen Ziyang was very interested in some wild history stories since he was a child, and he inadvertently read the story of Secretary Wang from a book, and then he knew the connection between Secretary Wang and Kangxi sunglasses.

But he didn't know much about the other three craftsmen, if it weren't for the fact that Wang Lele spent a lot of time studying the plum vase in the tomb of the double phoenix and phoenix photographed by Zhang Tianhao and them in order to find Zhang Tianhao's body, maybe the other three craftsmen would not know about it.

"If only Wang Lele were here." Chen Ziyang thought with some sadness. Wang Lele is really very knowledgeable, she is involved in almost any field of knowledge, and she knows everything well, and she can be said to be half an expert.

"Hmph, such an excellent woman, didn't she also give birth to a daughter for me, as the head of the family, I can't be worse than him, otherwise how can I be the master of the house in the future, I don't want to live a strict life like Yang Lei."

At this time, Chen Ziyang's machismo surged in his heart, and with this momentum, he desperately recalled the four craftsmen that Wang Lele told him about at the beginning.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Ziyang only remembered that these four people were Cardinal Wang, the first craftsman of the Qing Dynasty, Yu Yunlu, the first skillful hand of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Qianliang, the first genius of the Qing Dynasty, and Li Weidong, the first carving knife of the Qing Dynasty.

As for what kind of skills these four people had, or what kind of encounters they had, he really couldn't remember at all, he only remembered the names of the four people and their titles.

Although there is less information, there are still opportunities, and in those days, the title of a famous craftsman was not easy to come by. Although in that era, information was relatively closed, and the total population was not very large, but being able to be handpicked by Kangxi was enough to reveal a lot of information.

These four titles should represent the ability of these four people to be unique and different from ordinary people.

This symbol similar to glasses should represent Secretary Wang, and Secretary Wang has unique insights and unusual skills in many aspects, so he won the title of the first craftsman of the Qing Dynasty.

And this Secretary Wang is also lacking in virtue enough, what he portrays on the password plate is not what he is best at, because he is really good at too much. What he portrays is the relationship between her and Kangxi, if you don't know his life deeds, there is no way to decipher this code.

Thinking about it this way, the most difficult symbol should have been deciphered, and it is very likely that the other three people carved on the cipher disk represent that their symbols should be related to their abilities.

Because he once went to Shuanghuang to seek the relationship between the phoenix and the twilight, Chen Ziyang knew something about Zhang Qianliang, the first ghost talent of the Qing Dynasty. So he plans to start with the symbol that represents the amount of money.

The glasses symbol representing Secretary Wang is engraved on the second ring, so there should be no need to look at this ring again. But after looking at the other three rings, Chen Ziyang was a little disappointed, he really couldn't see which symbol represented the ghost Zhang Qianliang.

The reason why he can be called a ghost talent also shows that Zhang Xianliang is good at a wide range of fields, and it is not too easy to crack the password.

"Huh?" At this time, Chen Ziyang suddenly noticed that on the outermost ring, the symbols carved were obviously different from the other three discs.

The outermost ring has 25 symbols on it, and these 25 symbols are very complex, and there are many lines, but the strange thing is that compared with the other three rings, the symbols on this ring are more clearly depicted.

In addition, the lines that make up the 25 symbols are depicted in exactly the same depth and width. Obviously, the person portrayed has a very deep foundation, and it is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

"The first knife of the Qing Dynasty, Li Weidong!"
