Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Thousand Illusions
Scholar Liu didn't say anything more, turned around and continued to lead the way, and after nine curves and eighteen bends, Scholar Liu finally stopped, obviously arriving at his destination.
Lin Qiu had been looking at the surrounding environment, according to the speed and route of several people, the four of them should have gone out of the range of the Bachelor's Mansion by now, and went about a hundred meters deep underground.
"Scholar Liu brought us here, I'm afraid it's not as simple as participating in the finals, right?" The No. 5 contestant was the first to ask, his name was Li Yan.
Li Yan's words immediately attracted Lin Qiu and Chen Longfei's ideas, and they were also full of doubts when they came here, since Li Yan asked first, they naturally had to listen carefully.
"Indeed, bringing three people here today is indeed not just a competition, but there is a request for three, which has caused trouble to the three, and Liu apologizes to you again."
"Scholar ...... Willow University"
"Brother Mi, my real name is Liu Xiuwen, you can call me Mr. Liu."
"Okay, Mr. Liu, I think this is where you want to take us, now it's time to tell us what to do next, right?" Lin Qiu said.
Under the gaze of the three people, Liu Xiuwen nodded, and then he came to the edge of a wall, stretched out his hand and pressed down a stone brick, and then Lin Qiu and the three of them saw that the central floor of the secret room suddenly cracked, and a stone platform slowly rose from below, and on the stone platform, a boxy metal box was placed, about the size of a human head.
"Is this the Earth's Flame Iron?" This time it was Chen Longfei who spoke out, and for the first time there was an emotional change on his face, which had always been expressionless, and he was shocked!
"Geocentric Iron?" Lin Qiu also took a step forward to take a closer look, this geocentric iron is said to only exist in the magma below three thousand meters in the center of the earth, and the amount is extremely rare, and its value is even better than that of the Xuanbing chalcedony, of course, it cannot be compared with the Xuanbing chalcedony that gave birth to spiritual wisdom.
Geocentric Flame Iron, a naturally born fire attribute metal, is extremely hard, has a very high melting point, and immediately emits high temperature with energy injection, the temperature can reach 500 degrees instantly, and the continuous input energy temperature continues to increase, up to 1,000 degrees, it is the treasure that fire attribute cultivators dream of, whether it is to assist in cultivation or to build weapons, it is the best material, and it is said that the weapon of the fire god Zhurong is cast by the geocentric flame iron.
At this time, Liu Xiuwen came over, he pointed to the box cast by the iron of the center of the earth and said: "This box is called the Thousand Illusions Wanwen Lock, although it is the shape of the box, but it is actually a lock, and inside this lock, there is a book of exercises, which is the family heirloom of my Liu family." ”
"What you said is right, this Thousand Illusions Lock is indeed made of the Earth's Heart Flame Iron, and it is precisely because of this that this lock is difficult to open, and I found three people here to assist me in opening this Thousand Illusions Lock."
"Unlocking? How is this going to be opened? Since it's your thing, how can you not have a key? Li Yan said.
"Alas, what is needed to open this magic lock is not a key, but a literary style." Liu Xiuwen sighed.
"Speaking of this, we have to start from many years ago, many years ago, my Liu family was one of the most prosperous families in the Northern Han Empire, at that time, our ancestors were powerful, and even the first generation of ancestors had reached the emperor level, and the family naturally faced some power struggles when it grew."
"At that time, the practice of our Liu family was called the "Book of Ten Thousand Words", and it was also created by the first generation of the head of our Liu family, for the stability of the family, to prevent the head of the family from acting arbitrarily, and then the "Book of Ten Thousand Words" was divided into two volumes, the head of the family kept the upper volume, and the next volume was kept by the other chalines in turn, the two volumes of exercises were locked with a thousand illusions and thousands of locks made of earth center flame iron, only the head of the family knew the method of unlocking, and others could only practice the exercises of the keep, and each person had a chance to open the lock when he was an adult, if he did not open it, only the contribution was enough, Only then can I have another chance to crack it, and if I open it, I can practice, but if I don't open it, I can only wait for the next time. ”
"This ...... It's too weird, isn't it? Lin Qiu muttered.
Liu Xiuwen also nodded with a wry smile, and continued: "Because our ancestors are contemporary writers, he likes to sing poetry the most, and his biggest hobby is to enjoy flowers and poems with some friends who like poetry, and drink to fight against them, and these poems have been collected by him, and finally all of them have been recorded in this magic lock." ”
"In other words, in order to open the lock of this myriad text, you need to answer these poems?" Lin Qiu blurted out.
Liu Xiuwen nodded, "It is said that there are tens of thousands of poems in it. ”
Lin Qiu's head suddenly grew big when he heard this.
"Didn't you just say that the head of the family has the method?" Chen Longfei said.
"That's right, the head of the family does have a method, and that method is that the first task of becoming the head of the family is to skillfully recite the collection of poems left by the ancestors, and all the answers are in it, but now this collection of poems has been passed down for dozens of generations and has been lost, and even this volume of exercises is what I have worked so hard to find."
"This ......" Li Yan wanted to ask something.
Liu Xiuwen opened his mouth and interrupted: "Don't talk about this, now that the family is in decline, as the head of this generation, the only way I can think of is to learn the second half of the Book of Ten Thousand Words, so I searched for it with great difficulty, and finally, the emperor paid off, and I found it." ”
"But God played a joke on me, this magic lock tried to unlock it after I got it, but unfortunately it failed, and I found that this lock was also tried to be opened before me, and it also failed."
"There are a total of five chances to unlock the Thousand Illusion Lock, and after all five failures, a trace of energy will be injected into the Earth's Core Flame Iron immediately, and the instantaneous high temperature will immediately incinerate the exercise scroll inside, which is a self-destruct device, in case someone keeps trying to crack it."
"I didn't dare to try it alone, so I came to this Snow Ridge City, held a literary meeting every year, looking for someone with literary talent to help me, three years have passed, three chances, all failed, and now there is only one last chance left in the thousand illusions, this time will be the last chance, I saw that the three of them performed extremely well in the previous competition, and temporarily decided to let the three of them try together, which can be regarded as giving myself a little more chance."
"Mr. Liu, why don't you try such an important matter with those great writers of the present generation?" Lin Qiu asked puzzled.
"It's not that I haven't thought of this way, it's just that I have to be careful because of the guilt, otherwise I wouldn't have come to this relatively remote Snow Ridge Town."
Lin Qiu nodded, Liu Xiuwen's strength Lin Qiu has seen it, at least in this Snow Ridge Town, there is definitely no opponent, and it is safest for him to choose to crack the Thousand Illusions Lock here.
"Mr. Liu, I still have a question, such as a couplet, we probably don't know the standard answer left by your ancestors, if it is right according to our own understanding, is it right or wrong?"
"This can rest assured, as long as the right neatness, it will definitely be right, in this thousand illusions, the ancestors left a trace of soul power, no independent consciousness, but can judge the level of literary talent."
Lin Qiu nodded to indicate that he understood.
"In that case, should we start now?" Li Yan asked.
"Three, in order to unlock this myriad lock, you must answer five questions correctly, each question answers for two minutes, and all five questions are unlocked successfully, are you ready?"
"Ready!"
The three of them said in unison.
"Okay, I'll open the Myriad Locks, and then it's up to you."
Liu Xiuwen's hands twisted on the Thousand Illusion Lock, and after a while, a beam of light shone on the wall in front of the four people, and a line of words appeared: The wind is sluggish and the water is cold.
"This is a sentence from ...... "Yi Shui Song", the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return." Lin Qiu said.
"Not bad." Chen Longfei also said, he was about to speak just now, but Lin Qiu took the lead.
Lin Qiu nodded at him.
Liu Xiuwen was already typing in the answer, because he would also know this sentence, after all, Scholar Liu was not called in vain.
After the answer was entered, the magic lock turned, and the second question appeared: flowers, flowers, leaves, and leaves, emerald and red, but Si Xiangwei deliberately supported, not teaching rain and wind, clear and cold.
Liu Xiuwen frowned slightly after reading it, and set his eyes on Lin Qiu and the others, and Lin Qiu and the three of them were also thinking hard at this time, this question is indeed not simple.
"Butterflies, butterflies, and birds, life and life, I hope that all lovers will become dependents, and they will be happy and happy for a long time."
Lin Qiu was still racking his brains to think that Chen Longfei's voice had already sounded.
"Good!"
