Chapter 17: Breaking the Mechanism
"Yo, I don't know where the eldest young master has gone, I'm so happy. As soon as I entered the cave, I heard Xue Qin talking to me, because all my thoughts were in Yang Qing's people and the Tiger Gang, so Xue Qin spoke to me, which startled me: "Eh, why are you here?" ”
"Hehe, I didn't do anything wrong, I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, how can I scare you?" Xue Qin said with a sarcastic smile, I didn't want to say anything to her, and walked straight to the stone room, but as soon as I raised my foot, Xue Qin stopped me, "Wait!"
I turned back and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I found a mechanism in the cave, are you interested in going and seeing it?" Xue Qin asked provocatively, I turned around and walked up to her and said, "Mechanism, why didn't we find it when we first entered the cave to inspect it?"
Xue Qin said mysteriously: "Hehe, I'm also a blind cat who touched a dead mouse, but do you want to know where it is?"
"Where? Take me to see it. "I asked her to take me to the agency, who knew she even had a request" If we find the treasure inside, give me half of it, and you have to protect me well. ”
Seriously, I can't help it if I don't want to protect her, but I'm not sure about that treasure, it's not that I'm greedy, it's just that none of us know what's inside. "Okay, there's treasure in there and I'll give you a share, but if there's any accident, remember to run outside, and I'll be behind it. ”
"Haha, what a man! Okay, let's go now. "I came to the place where the agency was located after a while under the leadership of Xue Qin.
When I came to the mechanism, I turned my head to look at Xue Qin, "Have you opened it to take a look?"
Xue Qin pouted, "I originally wanted to open it, but this mechanism is too weird, and I can't turn it anymore." ”
I thought about it for a moment and asked, "Have you ever tried pushing inward, or is there any aid to pulling out?"
"I've tried, but it doesn't work, but it seems to me that it is a mechanism set up in the east, west, north and south, directions and the Five Elements Bagua Array.
I was amazed, "Oh? Looks like the person who lives here is a man of the world." ”
"Yes, then how can we open this mechanism?" Xue Qin asked me with wide eyes, I thought about it and said, "Since you just said that it may be set up with the Five Elements Bagua Array, then let's try to use the Five Elements Bagua to unlock it." ”
"Uh, I won't, will you?" Xue Qin shook her head and asked me, I smiled and shook my head, "Neither of us can untie it?" Xue Qin stomped her foot and shouted, as if angry with me, I patted her on the shoulder and said, "Haha! I said I wouldn't, but I didn't say I couldn't, but give me a quarter of an hour." ”
Seeing Xue Qin nodding, I sat on the ground, and after thinking about it, I suddenly jumped up and startled Xue Qin, "Ah?!What's wrong?"
"I thought about it, it's not difficult to unravel this formation, do you know the four elephants?" I stared at her and asked Xue Qin looked into my eyes, then looked down slightly, blushed and said, "I know, in our imperial ...... Uncle Huang's book mentioned that it seems to be two rituals and four elephants gossip or something. ”
"Yes, you're right, that's true, we just said that we didn't find the mechanism, whether it was pressed inward or pulled out, it was unsuccessful, right?"
I paused for a moment and said, "That's because it's arranged according to the four elephants, and now it's because it's in the wrong direction, as long as we find the location of the Blue Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu, and then move it to the correct position, we can unlock this mechanism." ”
When Xue Qin heard what I said, he also nodded in agreement, and then we all went to observe whether there was anything we had missed in this stone room.
At this time, Xue Qin called me over, "Young Master, what do you think this is?"
When I walked over, I saw that it was a stone that was different from the other walls and was inconspicuous in the inconspicuous corner of the wall, so I said excitedly, "Miss Xue, let's look elsewhere to see if there are any such stones." ”
After Xue Qin nodded, we split up to look for it, and because of the experience of the previous one, we quickly found four stones that were different from the wall, which were black, blue, gray, and dark red.
Thinking of this, I grabbed Xue Qin's shoulders with both hands and said, "We finally found the key to the mechanism, haha......"
Xue Qin's eyes looked straight at me, and then I saw that her cheeks were already crimson, and I also reacted at this time: "Cough, Miss Xue, I'm sorry, I'm rude." ”
"Oh, oh, how can we undo it?"
I said, "If my guess is correct, these four stones of different colors can be removed, and the mechanism can be unlocked by placing them in the direction of the four elephants." ”
"Then how should it be arranged?" Xue Qin turned his body to look at the four stones and asked, I thought for a while, and then said: "The god of the east, the god of the east, the god of the west, the white tiger, the god of the south, the god of the south, the god Xuanwu, can also be the green dragon is green, the Xuanwu is black, the white tiger is gray, and the vermilion bird is red." Wouldn't that be clear to us?"
When Xue Qin heard this, she went to move the stones, and I stopped her, "Slow!"
Xue Qin looked at me: "What's wrong?"
"Miss Xue, can't these four stones be moved like this, and there are mechanisms in them?"
"What? There's a mechanism in there, so how do you unlock it?"
I smiled and said, "Don't you know that three is only four elephants?"
Xue Qin raised his forehead and said, "Oh...... Haha! How can I forget it? The three talents of heaven, earth, and people, that is to say, just unravel the three talents?"
I nodded, and I found the three talent mechanisms on the north and south sides, and Xue Qin found the auxiliary mechanisms in the east and west directions, and soon we found three things.
One is a small pebble sprinkled on the ground south of the tomb, which is actually a magnetic thing made of many special materials, and three short daggers made of special materials are buried on the ground in the east and west directions.
"We've found both the east and the west, but what's in the north?" Xue Qin wiped the sweat from his face and asked me, and I smiled and said, "Hehe! ”
"Nothing?"
"Yes, there is nothing, because we are the last key. When I said this, Xue Qin jumped up, "That's right, we are the last key, heaven and earth, we are people, hehe! ”
I saw Xue Qin so happy and said, "Only you are the last key, I will go and set them up." ”
Xue Qin nodded when he heard this, and then came to the north of the tomb and stood close to the tomb.
When I saw that everything was ready, I used my true qi and used the encounter technique to control the four stones of different colors to be suspended in the air, and when the four stones were stable, I used my soul power to control the stones to be placed in the correct position.
But something always seemed to be pushing the stone to keep it from entering the hole, and I could now feel the hole vibrating violently, "Oh no, this formation is not simple, if it doesn't succeed, it will collapse." ”
I shouted loudly, "Xue Qin, hurry up...... Hurry up and use your true qi to gather the keys to the east, west and south."
"Huh?" Xue Qin glanced at me, and then without saying anything, he shook the small stone and the two daggers together according to my method, but I didn't expect the dagger to suck together with the small stone, and then continued to hover uncontrollably over the tomb.
Xue Qin was at a loss when she saw this, and I didn't know if this was right or wrong, but I just felt that it was okay, of course, it was a gamble.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the dagger was inserted into the tomb without accident, and at this time, the four stones slowly moved towards the entrance of the cave at the same time, and seeing that the stone chamber was about to collapse, one stone fell from the top, and all the stones happened to enter the hole.
When all the stones were in, all the suction and thrust were gone, and the two of us stopped as if nothing had happened in the stone chamber, and the two of us looked at each other, both asking the same question in our hearts, "Are we wrong?"
Unexpectedly, in a few breaths, the tomb suddenly shook and then slowly opened, and we looked in amazement, there was no coffin in the tomb, only a staircase leading downward.
When we came to us, we could feel a breath from nature, and the two of us walked down one after the other
