Chapter 57: It's Late

I didn't know how far I had walked down the hole, but when I came to a silver-white stone wall, the Lingming stone monkey walking in front stopped. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Feng in the back also had to stop, because there was no way to go in front.

"What is this place?"

Li Feng glanced at the stone wall in front of him suspiciously, turned his head and asked the Lingming Stone Monkey.

"Hmm-"

To Li Feng's surprise, the Lingming Stone Monkey also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"I'm Khan, you don't even know what this place is, why did you bring me here?"

Li Feng scolded for a while, but he was also very helpless, shrugged his shoulders, and had to check it carefully.

I saw that this stone wall was about a long and wide, two zhang high, like the gate of an ordinary person, but it was much bigger, knocked with my hand, made a thick sound, obviously this stone wall is extremely thick.

Li Feng picked up a stone and smashed it, the stone wall was extremely hard, and the stone cracked as soon as it touched the stone wall.

It seems that it is impossible to open this stone wall by force, otherwise, the Lingming Stone Monkey would have opened it on its own a long time ago, and why would it wait until now to call him over.

When Li Feng was tempted, the Lingming stone monkey looked at Li Feng for a long time, and when Li Feng's face showed a look of disappointment, he smiled and walked to the stone wall, squatted down, and then pressed a protruding stone on his forelimbs.

After a "click" sound, a place in the middle of the stone door moved.

"I'll go, you know there's a mechanism here, and you're still here to tease me!"

Li Feng looked at the center of the "clicking" stone wall, and couldn't help but feel a little fooled, walked to the Lingming stone monkey, clenched his fist with his right hand, and lightly hit the Lingming stone monkey.

After the Lingming stone monkey pressed the mechanism, he stood up again, and also pretended to give Li Feng a light punch in return, and then signaled Li Feng not to worry, and continued to look at the stone wall.

Li Feng looked in the direction of the Lingming Stone Monkey's finger, and at this look, he couldn't help but feel depressed again.

It turned out that in the middle of the stone wall, after the sound, a three-foot square disc appeared, and in the middle of the disc, a strange stone pillar composed of something protruded, Li Feng counted it, and there were fourteen identical boxy hard stone pillars on it, and these stone pillars were cleverly combined with a mortise and tenon structure, which looked very exquisite.

"Is this a gossip lock?"

Li Feng leaned in front of the exquisite stone pillar, looked at it carefully, and finally came to a conclusion.

Bagua lock, also known as Kongming lock, Luban lock, is generally made of wood, widely spread among the people, become a small toy for folk children, is good for relaxation, development of brain, flexible fingers. Although the gossip lock looks simple, it is so mysterious that it is difficult to unlock it without understanding the gist of it.

What Li Feng never imagined was that someone had set this gossip lock on the stone wall to control the opening and closing of the stone wall.

No wonder the Lingming Stone Monkey seems to have discovered this place a long time ago, and also found the switch to open the Bagua lock underground, but it has not been in until now.

Since the Lingming Stone Monkey hasn't opened, let's try it yourself!

When he was a child, Li Feng also played with this gossip lock, but he didn't buy it, but picked it up near a large family, and the gossip lock he picked up was made of wood, and there were only six pieces of wood, which was the simplest gossip lock, but it took him several days to unlock it at that time.

Now, after so many years, he has not touched such a gadget for a long time, and the current gossip lock is still made of stone, with fourteen stone pillars, and some of them are still fixed to the stone wall, and it is not easy to unlock it.

Otherwise, the Lingming Stone Monkey is not a stupid head, and I am afraid that it would have been unraveled a long time ago.

Without any prompt information, and no precedent, Li Feng could only try to recall the six-pillar gossip lock he had seen when he was a child, recall the method of unlocking it at that time, and then use it to the fourteen-pillar gossip lock made of stone pillars now, and the progress was really slow little by little.

The Lingming stone monkey next to him saw Li Feng slowly groping there, and he was not in a hurry, waiting silently beside him, and seemed to have great confidence in Li Feng.

After trying countless times, then suddenly there was a "click", the gossip lock was finally unlocked, and the entire stone wall began to rumble, Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly retreated a few meters away with the Lingming stone monkey.

Generally, in this kind of mysterious place, there will be some very powerful mechanisms, and the slightest carelessness may kill them, so Li Feng and Lingming Stone Monkey dare not be careless.

After the rumbling sound, the stone wall slowly split into two halves from the middle, moving to the left and right, revealing a large black hole.

Although Li Feng's eyesight was good, he could only see some vague black shadows inside, thought about it, picked up a few stones from the side, and threw them inside, only to hear a few "dongdong" stones falling to the ground, and then there was silence.

"Isn't there a mechanism in there?"

Li Feng and the Lingming Stone Monkey glanced at each other, and then walked forward cautiously.

After entering the entrance of the cave, his eyes slowly adapted to the darkness inside, and there was also a shining substance on the stone wall deep in the cave, so Li Feng could see the scene inside clearly.

I saw that at the entrance of the black hole, there was a large piece of arrows, leaning against the stone walls on both sides, there were several white bones, and the white bones were also wearing a few arrows, which were obviously left by the people who broke in before after being shot by the arrows, and after passing this arrow land, it was a rectangular wide stone room, which contained stone tables, stone chairs, stone beds, bronze mirrors and other items, it seemed that someone had lived here. Next to the stone bed, there was a large stone platform on which three bronze chests were placed half a meter square.

"Hey, is there a treasure in this bronze box?"

Li Feng and the Lingming Stone Monkey cautiously walked to the stone platform, and when they saw the three bronze boxes, their eyes all gave off a longing light.

However, these three bronze boxes are the same as the stone door in front, each with a gossip lock locked, Lingming Stone Monkey looked at the gossip lock, and then looked at Li Feng, the meaning could not be clearer: You will open this thing, or you come!

"Okay, then I'll open the gossip lock again!"

Li Feng shrugged his shoulders and took a step forward, and was about to try to unlock the gossip lock, when suddenly a confused look flashed in his eyes.

"Why does this gossip lock look like it's not dusty at all, has it been opened?"

When he first opened the gossip lock on the stone wall outside, Li Feng was very surprised because it was the first time he saw the gossip lock in so many years, and he just wanted to unlock it quickly, so he didn't check it carefully.

"If someone really drove it, I'm afraid I'll go home empty-handed this time!"

Li Feng sighed, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart, but he still slowly untied the gossip lock.

Different from the gossip locks on the stone wall outside, the gossip locks on the three bronze boxes are made of bronze, and the number of columns is also six less, becoming eight-pillar gossip locks.

Li Feng already had experience in unlocking at this time, and the lock of the eight pillars was much simpler than the lock of the fourteen pillars, so it was much faster than the gossip lock on the stone door outside, and after a while, the first bronze gossip lock was opened.

Hearing the crisp sound of the gossip lock, Li Feng and Lingming Stone Monkey both showed excitement in their eyes, and now, they were finally going to see the contents of the bronze box.

However, when Li Feng opened the first bronze box, he couldn't help but be disappointed again.

It turned out that there was nothing in the bronze box!

"I'll go, and sure enough, someone has taken the lead!"

Li Feng sighed depressedly and spread his hands towards the Lingming Stone Monkey, expressing his helplessness.

The Lingming Stone Monkey's eyes were also disappointed, it originally thought that there would be some treasures in it, but it didn't expect that there was not even a single hair in it.

"There are two more chests, let's take a look at them again!"

Although he no longer had hope for the two bronze chests in the back, Li Feng still opened them in turn.

This time, to Li Feng's surprise, the bronze box was still empty.

At this time, Li Feng was completely disappointed and died.

"Your uncle, people are all encountering a lot of elixirs and profound exercises, how did you come to me, after a lot of hardships and efforts, but you can't even see a shadow!"

The face of the Lingming Stone Monkey was not much better, it had already discovered this place, and it had only come in with Li Feng today, and it was originally full of hope, but now its hopes were shattered.

"Brother Monkey, we're late, next time you find this kind of place, remember to tell me in advance!"

Recalling that when the Lingming Stone Monkey brought him here, he hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind, Li Feng couldn't help but feel a little depressed, if the Lingming Stone Monkey had brought himself earlier, maybe he would have been able to come here before others.

"Hmm-"

The Lingming Stone Monkey also seemed to feel a little uneasy, and scratched his head embarrassedly, indicating that he understood.

"There's nothing in this box anymore, maybe there's something else, that person may not have been cleaned, let's look for it again!"

Li Feng was still a little unwilling, closed the three bronze boxes, restored the gossip lock to its original state, and then found it in the stone room. After all, as soon as anyone enters, their attention will first be drawn to these three bronze chests, and after taking the treasures inside, they will most likely ignore the other places.

If that's the case, you might be lucky enough to pick up the fish that slipped through the net.

After listening to Li Feng's words, the Lingming stone monkey seemed to feel reasonable, so like Li Feng, he carefully searched around in this stone room.
