Chapter 64: The Secret Passage of the Agency

When Nuwa returned leisurely, she saw Feng Ye staring at those tools in the backyard.

"Daoyou, what's wrong?" Although it was nearly dusk, Nuwa's eyesight was still good, and when she saw the scene in the backyard, she suddenly felt a little strange.

"This rockeryβ€”?" Nuwa walked to the side of the pool and looked, if it weren't for Nuwa, she was a fairy who couldn't see the difference between the rockery and yesterday.

"Well, I was a little busy when I moved here yesterday, and I didn't find some things, but after a good search today, I suddenly found something new. But let's not talk about the poor road, how is the mother over there?

"That guy is dressed as a man like Zhu Yingtai, but Bengong suddenly had an idea, saying that Concubine Mi was a haughty woman, and Cao Zhi and Cao Zhi would build a women's academy next to Hongshan Academy with him. ”

"The women's academy is used for women's teaching?" Feng Ye said with a smile: "Then Zhu Yingtai can come to the women's academy and develop freely with Liang Shanbo? Maybe Concubine Mi can match the two of them? It's just that those old masters in Confucianism don't necessarily agree." ”

The Xiujia wants to improve the status of women, but they have been thinking about it for many years, but it is a pity that it is difficult to establish a women's hospital even if men are respected today.

"That's better, Cao Zhi is from Confucianism, so it is just right for Concubine Mi to see his temperament. Nuwa smiled and said: "This palace sees Cao Zhi and reluctantly agrees, and there will be many times when Concubine Mi will preside over the women's courtyard and quarrel with him in the future." ”

"And what's going on on your side?" asked Nuwa.

Feng Ye said that he suspected that someone had come, and Nuwa frowned: "It's a pity that our supernatural powers have been sealed." Otherwise, they will not be calculated by others. ”

"It's okay, since the Red Dragon Staff is not automatically protected, it shouldn't be the likes of the Immortal Gods, then it is enough to deal with it with mortal means. Then Poor Dao carefully surveyed the place, but I didn't expect that the house we bought still had this kind of mechanism. Feng Ye picked out an ink fountain from those tools: "Niangniang can recognize this thing?"

"Isn't this something used by carpenters?" Nuwa wondered, "Isn't there something wrong with this thing?"

"Niangniang is a congenital divine origin, why don't you think about it from the perspective of mortals?"

"Mortal?" Nuwa stretched out her hand to take the ink bucket and was suddenly stunned, as if she understood what Feng Ye was worried about.

"It is said that our house has been idle for several years, and it was originally inhabited by a rich and noble family, how can there be a carpenter's tools? Although there are several rooms here, there is no carpenter who has no reason to keep a carpenter, and if a carpenter is hired exclusively, how can a carpenter leave his means of livelihood away?"

Nuwa touched the ink fountain and said, "The ink fountain was originally created by the public loser class, and it is a kind of sacred object of the public loser. It was regarded as a ward off evil by later generations of wood craftsmen. Even in ordinary people's homes, it may be used to ward off evil spirits. If it was really the thing prepared by the family in front of her to ward off evil spiritsβ€”" Nuwa couldn't go on, because she also understood.

If it is really a thing to ward off evil spirits, how can it be put together with other woodworking tools? This kind of thing to ward off evil spirits should be specially placed in the living room, right? Even if it is accidentally forgotten when moving, it will not be thrown in the firewood warehouse.

"So Daoist friends suspect that there is something wrong with this ink fountain?"

"Yesterday I asked my mother to buy abrasives to re-polish these iron tools. Didn't the mother say it too? These tools have rusted over time. ”

Nuwa touched it for a while. Added: "But the fountain looks clean, as if it is used a lot. ”

"Niangniang is really as careful as dust. Feng Ye stared at the rockery and said, "Both the public loser and the Mo family are proficient in the art of organs, if there is any secret path left here." You and I don't seem to be able to see without thinking. ”

All the sons of the hundred schools have their own special cultivation methods, and the attainments of the public loser in the way of carpentry are the best in the world, and the organ A made by the public loser class himself is even hated by the immortals.

Nuwa circled around the pool: "The supernatural power method that the public loser class has specially learned from the mechanism technique also has the character of the way of heaven and man, if the public loser sets up a mechanism from here, he can indeed hide it from the palace inadvertently." Nuwa reached out and grabbed the red silk on her arm, and was about to use her magical powers to survey the land.

Feng Ye hurriedly stopped Nuwa: "Since we are traveling as mortals, wouldn't it be a bit contrary to the original intention of Niangniang to use the supernatural powers?" ”

"The key? is this ink fountain?" Nuwa looked at the pool: "Presumably the so-called mechanism is down here, right? ”

Feng Ye came to the edge of the pool and said to Nuwa: "Niangniang, you can see that although this pool has been abandoned for several years, it is still so clean, and you can understand that there must be someone who uses this pool often. And the water marks at the edge of the pool are also high, although the current level is facing the low one, but what is the high one? It is not summer at all, and although there is rain, the pool will not fill up quickly and then evaporate quickly. Moreover, there are dry aquatic plants left around the higher water marks, and judging by the freshness of this aquatic plants, they were left a few days ago at most. ”

"Then it should be caused by the rockery opening and then the water body rising?" Nuwa listened to Feng Ye's words and looked at the problem from the perspective of mortals: "What about the switch? If there is really a mechanism, it shouldn't be too troublesome, after all, it should be used often." ”

Feng Ye stood on the edge of the pool and walked around, and found three mountain rocks that could be reached out. Then Feng Ye groped around the three mountain stones, and suddenly a mountain stone water chestnut was broken, and then there was an extra empty space in it that was just enough to place the ink fountain.

Feng Ye put the demon bucket into it and turned it back and forth a few times, and then hurriedly dodged a cold arrow on his back.

"So you still need a special password?" Nuwa caught the cold arrow and looked at it: "It's not poisonous, and there is no blood, it doesn't look like it's the handiwork of a public loser." ”

"Of course it's not a public loser. Feng Ye sneered: "The public loser respects Lu Ban, the ancestor master, how could he use the ink fountain as the key to the mechanism? Of course, it is a mechanism made by the Mo family with this as a tool. The Mo family emphasizes benevolence, which is different from the pursuit of efficiency by public losers, so naturally they will not apply venom to these dark arrows. ”

The Mo family, when the hundred schools of thought helped the countries, because the Mo family opposed the Qin State to sweep the six countries and dominate the world, they were suppressed by the Qin State in the pre-Qin era, and then the Qin and Han dynasties did not see the Mo family people settled in the court at all. Today, when the Confucian dynasty flourished, the Mohists were long ago submerged in history and divided into several factions.

One faction specialized in mathematical calculations, and gradually followed Confucianism. One line follows the way of chivalry, the number of ink man. It is our responsibility to hoe the strong and help the weak and support justice. There is also a school of thought that uses institutional learning to enter the Tao. It is common to become a carpenter like a public loser, but compared to the extremely lethal weapons of the public loser, the craftsmen of the Mo family still pay attention to a "non-attack".

"However, what can I do with the mechanism left by the descendants of the Mo family?" Feng Ye continued to turn the ink fountain. Then listen intently to the sound of the mechanism turning.

"There are twelve nodes? It seems to be very similar to a clock dial. Moreover, this kind of mechanism password disk is not easy to find because it is extremely hidden. It is difficult to replace and repair the mechanism after it has been completed. So the numbers that are used frequently are different from those that are not used frequently in terms of the degree of rust. ”

The clock, in the development of civilization to the present, naturally came into being, but now the human race uses the twelfth hour. Therefore, there is still a gap with the clocks of later generations.

Feng Ye tinkered for a while, and finally realized that the ink fountain seemed to be easier to rotate when it was in several positions: "One, five, eight, these three positions?" It is also that Feng Ye's immortal body level is too high and his hearing is extremely strong, otherwise, how could ordinary people hear the small gap in the sound of those turntables?

Nuwa was also touched when she watched Feng Ye perform on the rockery: "This palace is born with divine power, and sometimes it is indeed used to looking at problems from the perspective of immortals, but in fact, there will naturally be new attitudes and methods from another angle." Faintly, Nuwa looks at the problem from a humanitarian perspective, and her understanding of humanity is also closer.

Then Feng Ye tried a few more times and finally unlocked the code, and the entire rockery shook and then cracked from the center, but under the blockage of the rockery, no water flowed into the entrance, and the water level rose and happened to fall on the high water mark.

"Niang Niang is watching from the outside, I'll go in and take a look. After saying that, Feng Ye picked up the ink fountain and entered the tunnel again and cautiously advanced.

After about a quarter of an hour, Feng Ye came to the underground space, and when he saw the jewels piled up in this space, Feng Ye's face was grim, and he picked up a piece of ingots scattered on the ground and saw the words engraved underneath.

"Official silver?" Feng Ye recalled what he heard on the road: "Could it be that the official treasury was stolen, and the things were actually stored here?"

"So, when the people around heard the so-called ghosts here, it should be the group that is opening the mechanism to transport jewelry, right? So this is not the first time they have done it?"

Feng Ye faintly felt a little headache, and finally found a clean place with Nuwa, but this kind of thing happened again, if he was found by the government, he might not think that Nuwa and himself were innocent people.

Feng Ye hurriedly went back from the tunnel, and then told Nuwa about the matter.

"Isn't that great?" Nuwa suddenly smiled: "Since you want to experience life in the world, then you should also experience this kind of thing, it's a big deal to go to prison and stay in prison." ”

"......" Feng Ye was a little speechless, when did Niangniang's nerves become so big?

"And if you can't do anything, you can ask Concubine Mi for help, or we can reveal our identity. Nuwa said lightly: "This matter will be handed over to the palace to deal with, the palace has been inspired by the Taoist friends to have a faint understanding of humanity, and is about to use the means of the human race to solve the problem." ”

"That's it, since Niangniang wants to use this to understand humanity, then the poor way is not easy to stop, so let's wait for Niangniang's means. Then, Feng Ye looked up at the sky: "It's time for dinner, and today there will be Lao Niangniang, this fire cooking is also a humane thing, and Niangniang can also experience it." ”

"Of course, I wouldn't mind if my mother helped me wash my clothes. Feng Ye went to the tunnel for a while, although he had a spell to protect him, but his clothes were dirty in the end.

"Hehe" Nuwa suddenly laughed: "If you want to die so much, this palace can still be fulfilled." ”

Feng Ye smiled, Nuwa reached out and took Feng Ye's coat away, then turned around and went to the stove room. (To be continued......)
