Chapter 5 Picking up equipment
"It's not an option to stay here all the time. Jiu Ge said this, while arranging the firewood, preparing to make a torch.
"The slate above is sealed. Jin'er on the side said. The implication is that no mechanism has been found. Judging from the situation that came in, the switch was probably somewhere under the water above the stone slab, and if you wanted to go back the way you came, it was troublesome and unlikely to succeed.
"Then let's go around and have a look, there may be other ways out of such a large space. Jiu Ge lit a few long sticks, threw a few sticks of firewood into the fire to prevent the fire from going out, and led Xiao Jin'er to the depths of the cave.
Jiu Ge held the torch in front, and in order to prevent getting lost, he still held Xiao Jin'er's little hand. The further in, the space narrows until it becomes a small gap that only allows one person to pass sideways. After turning two corners, about 300 steps, the space slowly grew larger until it suddenly opened up.
The space here is smaller than the cave where the "base" is located, and there is a stone table in the middle, on which sits a dry skeleton, and its hollow eye sockets look straight in the direction of Jiu Ge's entry, as if he knows that someone has entered. As a half-killer who stepped on someone else's corpse to survive, and then crawled out of the pile of corpses, a dry bone, there was nothing to fear. Looking back at Xiao Jin'er behind her, she also had a surprised expression.
When I got closer, I saw that behind the dry bones, there was something like a scale. It is said that it is a balance, but it is just an image. There were no trays of scales at either end of the thing in front of me, just an iron rod simply horizontally with seven indentations in the middle. Seven beads of the same size are lined up on the stone table.
Jiu Ge has also had hobbies in his long reading career, one of which is the technique of organs, and during his graduate studies, he also sent a paper on ancient techniques, although he can't say that he knows everything, but he also knows a rough idea.
The balance in front of you is a mechanism based on balance, that is, you have to put seven beads on an iron rod and keep it balanced, and you can crack it. The choice of the seven concave points is crucial, as long as one wrong step, the balance is out of balance, and it is not known whether it is a flying knife or a sword.
In front of Jiu Ge, who has seen high-tech tricks, this kind of mechanism is not difficult, those restrictions and conditions are high-sounding, in fact, there is only one principle, if you don't destroy the balance, you can solve it. As for why you have to solve it, it is naturally based on the stalk that if there is a mechanism, there must be a treasure, and the way to survive may be after this mechanism.
Jiu Ge handed the torch to Xiao Jin'er on the side, rolled up his sleeves and began to untie the mechanism. Put the middle one first, and then take two at the same time and put them on both sides, the ancient calculation is not accurate to milliseconds, so the time difference between the two beads at the same time, as long as it does not exceed one second, there will be no problem.
Putting down the outermost two, after a few moments, the stone table broke in the middle and smashed to both sides, revealing a delicate wooden box under the stone table.
Jiu Ge probed, there was no mechanism, no lock, and it was quite heavy to lift it up.
"There are treasures, Xiao Jin'er, it seems that we are going to get rich. Jiu Ge laughed as he opened the wooden box.
On the top floor are several volumes of silk books, and below are bright pieces of jewelry.
"Hahahaha, I'm rich. Jiu Ge pushed the silk book aside, and put a jade bracelet on his wrist like a miser.
Xiao Jin'er on the side pouted helplessly, stuck the torch aside, picked up a silk book and opened it to read.
"What is this?" Xiao Jin'er was stunned by a bunch of incomprehensible words, and Jiu Ge on the side was still immersed in the joy of making a fortune and couldn't extricate herself.
"Well, I think this is more valuable. Xiao Jin'er tried to raise her voice, trying to get the attention of the money fans on the side.
"What?
"I don't understand, the text on this is not Chinese characters. ”
Jiu Ge was a little interested when he heard the words, after all, this was his profession. Take the silk book and look at it, no wonder Xiao Jin'er can't understand it, the words written on the silk book were prosperous for a while in the pre-Qin period, and later after the Qin unified the six countries, the policy of writing with the same text was implemented, and this kind of writing also declined. Although the time and space in which Jiuge is located are somewhat different from those in history textbooks, it is certain that the mainstream culture has not changed. Seeing this kind of text in this place, Jiu Ge's heart felt warm, after all, in this inexplicable world, these words that had been anxious about this had become one of the few cordial existences.
Jiu Ge leaned over to the torch and looked at it seriously. This volume is about a bracelet called Yuluan, which is cast from moonstone and shaped like a silk thread, which blends with the skin color when worn, and its light can only be seen under the moon, which is used to store all things.
In the memory of the original owner, the upper echelons of the Seven Star Sect all had storage bags to place various things, but they all had the shape of pockets, such as the storage bags introduced in this silk book, which had never been seen.
Continue to look down, sprinkle hundreds of words, and introduce the use of Yuluan. The cave owner put it in a rosewood box at the bottom of this wooden box, and before putting it on, he had to use the finger of his left hand to drop blood on it to unseal, and after unsealing, the hand would be used by him with blood.
Jiu Ge turned the letter down suspiciously, and actually turned to the rosewood box mentioned in the silk book. When opened, three silk threads with a soft color like moonlight lay quietly in the wooden box.
This may be a rare immortal product in the world, it is completely unattainable, with it, it is not a problem to bring some Penglai fairy grass out, it is much easier to use than any lockbox.
"Jin'er, come on, there are good things. ”
Xiao Jin'er on the side didn't know when she had replaced the firewood that was about to burn out with a new stick, and when she heard Jiu Ge's words, she stuck the stick back in its place and came over.
"This is for storage, you are like this..."Jiu Ge demonstrated step by step, unsealed the two jade luans and put them on, put away the remaining one, and put the silk book into the jade luan.
The original moonlight-like light of the jade luan slowly faded, and gradually became the same color as the wrist, which can no longer be seen by the naked eye, but the person wearing it can still clearly feel its existence.
Seeing that the wooden sticks are about to burn out, in this place where you can't see your fingers, there is no light source is a troublesome thing, and it is not too late to read these silk books. Jiu Ge put part of the gold and silver bars in the box in Xiao Jin'er's jade luan, and put away the rest along with a few volumes of silk books, and took Xiao Jin'er to search everywhere before returning to the "base area".
This time I explored, it can be seen that there are only these two large spaces in this cave, and the other passages are dead ends. Although no exit was found, it was also an unexpected joy to harvest such an immortal product as Yuluan.
Jiu Ge roughly read the rest of the silk books under the firelight, there was a volume of sword books and two volumes of mental methods, so he didn't have time to read them carefully. However, the last volume is written in regular letters, unlike the other three volumes, the content of the book is like the master's pen, and when encountering this, the left is just a routine of taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others. In the end, it was said that the enemy family was the Qingyang Wen family. The implication is that Jiu Ge wants to avenge it, and he will not give away immortal gold and silver in vain.
The original owner's cultivation in the Seven Star Sect, in addition to all kinds of open and assassination methods, the history and current affairs of the major families are all compulsory courses, and anyone who corrects a mirage can memorize it like a stream. Rao is like this, but Jiu Ge doesn't know anything about this Qingyang Wen family.
"Hey, does Xiao Jin'er know about the Qingyang Wen family?"
"Huh?" The doll in a daze on the side reflexed for five seconds.
"That's it, Qingyang Wen family, I have so many families on my back, and this is the first time the Wen family has seen it. ”
Jin'er pondered, "In the introduction of the Zhang family, it was said that the Zhang family has a distant relative surnamed Wen, I don't know if it is in Qingyang." ”
"Hey, now that the head of the Zhang family has become the right official, there is no good fruit to eat if he offends the powerful. Jiu Ge frowned, with a sad expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, didn't we take other people's money, that person told us to avenge him, use people's money to eliminate disasters for others, there is no way to do it. ”
Jiu Jin pursed her lips, obviously greedy for money, and she was bitter and hateful.
"Hey, it's unknown whether we can get out alive from here, and whether this disaster can be eliminated for others depends on the destiny of heaven. ”
