Chapter 79: The Astrolabe Mechanism

On the huge round grinding plate-like stone plate in the center, there were many round pills, exactly the same as the kind of pills with corpse cockroaches that the third uncle had shown Wu Xiaoxi.

A guy was curious and wanted to pick up one and take a closer look.

Wu Xiaoxie and Chen Wenjin hurriedly spoke to stop him, "That can't be touched!"

The guy was startled by the sudden shouting of the two, and said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't it just a mud ball, making a fuss."

Chen Wenjin looked at him coldly, "This kind of star map arrangement is regular, and any move will trigger a deadly mechanism, and we won't be able to survive at that time."

"Cut." The guy snorted disdainfully, "Girls, there are a lot of forced things."

"Hey kid, how do you talk?" The fat man lowered his face and stared at the guy, "I think when our eldest sister was messing around on the rivers and lakes, you kid didn't know where to pee under the mud wall."

"As soon as I mixed up like a dog, I started to make waves, the fat man won't give you some color today, you kid don't know why the flowers are so red!" The fat man said, rolling up his sleeves and about to step forward.

The guy was bluffed, and he couldn't help but take a step back, glared at him, and said inwardly, "What do you want to do? Relying on more people to bully fewer people, right, what a broken mechanism, Lao Tzu will touch it today, what can you do with me?"

"You can try." I don't know when, Zhang Qixun has already walked behind the guy.

His eyes stared at him coldly, and a playful smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "I can guarantee that the second before you are about to touch these corpse pills, your claws will say goodbye to you in style."

The black blind man didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and he came over with a smile, "I can also help you guarantee this, how about it?" Would you like to give it a try?"

The guy was really panicked now, because he really felt the killing intent in Zhang Qixun's eyes.

So he took back the hand that had just been stretched out halfway, and laughed dryly, "Hehe, just kidding, just kidding, why are you so angry."

The fat man sneered, stepped forward and pushed the man away, and turned to Chen Wenjin with a smile, "Sister Wenjin, you have studied this the most, come and see, what's strange here."

Chen Wenjin thanked him, stared at the trajectory distribution on the stone plate for a long time, his fingers hung on it and depicted it according to the line, and suddenly let out a light "ah" and asked Wu Xiaoxie to come and watch together.

"Little evil, look at the routes connected by these dots, is it very similar to the picture I drew in my notes?"

Wu Xiaoxie took a closer look, and it was true that the other pills around him were like splendid mountains and rivers, completely wrapping that piece of dragon vein inside.

Suddenly, he realized something, "Wang Zanghai has done something to the mechanism here!"

Chen Wenjin nodded, "That's right, Wang Zanghai once obtained the Warring States Silk Book and revised the contents of it, the Western Queen Mother Country is the last stop of his research on immortality, as long as he passes through here, the mystery is in front of him, how can he easily let the world know the real secret."

The fat man was already gearing up and eager to try, "Since it's a mechanism, don't you just untie it directly, hurry up, little brother, Muyu, you two hurry up, fat man, I can't wait to see what treasure this old witch is hiding in the Queen Mother of the West."

Zhang Qixun and the little brother carefully observed around the stone plate, looking for a suitable starting point.

The fat man was idle, holding a miner's lamp and wandering around, and when he inadvertently glanced up, he immediately screamed, "I'll go, what's this above?" Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace?"

Everyone looked up, only to see that on the dome directly above the stone plate, there were dozens of thick chains extending from the edge of the stone hall, gathered together like spider webs, and a huge three-legged gilded bronze furnace was tied in the middle, and the furnace body was carved with intricate patterns, which could not be seen really, only vaguely felt that it should be a dragon circling around the entire furnace body.

Chen Wenjin was surprised, and exclaimed, "This is the suspended furnace, this hole must be the cave eye of the Great Feng Shui Wanshan Dragon Mother, this is the highest level of alchemy in the legend, the Dan furnace does not touch the ground, and it is all collected

The essence of the dragon vein."

The fat man shot two flares with his hands and feet, "Now I can see clearly."

The second flare was slightly off, hitting the edge of the bronze furnace, and in an instant, the thick chains above vibrated entirely, and the humming resonance resounded throughout the hall, and even the ground under their feet shook.

"It's a bad dish!" The fat man slapped his thigh in annoyance, "The trap was triggered?"

"Don't panic." Zhang Qixun raised his hand to signal them to calm down, "The astrolabe has not changed, this is not a reaction triggered by the mechanism."

Several people hurriedly lowered their center of gravity to stabilize their figures, and after a stick of incense, the vibration gradually stopped, and it was indeed a false alarm.

The fat man wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead and let out a long breath, "Damn, I'm scared enough."

A few people returned to the stone pan.

The little brother looked at it for a few seconds, then suddenly squatted down, stretched out his hand on the stone pillar supported under the stone plate, and groped inch by inch with two fingers.

Seeing this, Zhang Qi also squatted down and asked softly, "What did you find?"

"Gravity Balancing Mechanism." The little brother is concise and to the point.

Zhang Qixun nodded, and also stretched out his left hand to grope on the other side, and soon, there was a strange touch in a place under his fingertips.

Then he raised his eyelids and glanced at the little brother, and the little brother nodded slightly.

Zhang Qixun turned to Wu Xiaoxie and said, "Who has a more sensitive sense of touch than ordinary people?"

Chen Wenjin took a step forward and said, "I'll come, I've learned the general tricks."

"Okay." Zhang Qixun nodded, "Sister Wenjin, you come to my side, keep an eye on this place, I'll look for the last one."

Chen Wenjin did as he was told.

Finding the last place, Zhang Qixun and the three of them stood in a regular equilateral triangle.

Zhang Qixun said in a deep voice: "Get ready, I'll count to three and press it together."

Everyone held their breath and stared, and there was a soft "click" in their ears.

The surface of the stone plate did not move, but there was a slight friction sound inside, and the mechanism inside was rotating, and the movement stopped for a long time.

I thought this was the end, but the fat man was just about to speak, when suddenly, the stone plate sank down suddenly, and a series of chains dragging sounded above everyone's heads.

The fat man yelled, "Flash flash, gossip furnace is going to fall!"

The crowd hurried to find a place to hide.

The entire hall was repaired into a huge mechanism, the iron chains in the stone wall were constantly extending outward, the rumbling sound resounded like thunder throughout the hall, the alchemy furnace in the center of the spider web chain was put down little by little, and the hollow bottom slowly fell on the stone plate, and each depression was in perfect harmony with the position of the pill on the stone plate, which was completely consistent.
