Seeing Mu Yunhe so excited makes me feel so happy. But I'm also afraid that at his age, he won't be able to lift him up and carry him, and I'll have to carry him out when the time comes, which won't make sense.
"Old Mu, don't get excited." I smiled, "Although I don't know the Thousand Machines Sword, it doesn't mean that I can't open the Seven Skills Lock."
Mu Yunhe said dejectedly: "It's impossible. Apart from gathering seven Canglong Qi Sudden Keys, there is absolutely no other way."
As he spoke, he let out a long sigh, "I have been preparing for decades to open the Qiqiao Exquisite Lock, and I am very familiar with the techniques of the five sects of Touching Gold, Faqiu, Xunlong, Moving Mountain, and Xiling. It is true that , when it comes to cracking the hidden weapons of the government, moving mountains is second to none, and touching the golden mound has its own merits. But the one who truly understands the hidden weapons of the government and can study them thoroughly is the Xunlong Taibao."
I was quite surprised when these words came out of Mu Yunhe's mouth, but judging from his tone, he was quite sincere. I guess he was inspired by this situation. He continued: "The Xunlong Taibao have their own experience with hidden weapons. They will spend months or even years just to study a kind of mechanism. Only after they have thoroughly studied it will they start to crack it. , advocates the idea of 'a key opens a lock', and this meticulous research spirit is unparalleled by other schools."
"Professor Mu, how inefficient is 'one key to open one lock'? You should ask a mountain mover to come out and use 'one key to open a thousand locks'. That would be more efficient," I said.
Mu Yunhe shook his head, "It is good to open a thousand locks with one key, but not all the hidden weapons in the world can be opened with just one key. The trick of Banshan Taoist is like It is a master key. Although it is highly efficient, it does not have an in-depth study of mechanical principles. Facing a truly sophisticated machine, they will be at a loss.”
Looking at his dejected look, I guess he doesn't have much time to flatter him at this time, so let's just take it for granted. I nodded and said: "A great professor is a great professor after all. Everything he said is reasonable, but I can't refute it. However, that is the fact, and there is nothing I can do about it."
Yan Yunshu stumbled back as if she was out of her body, "Oh my God, is it true that the sky has no eyes? Do I, Yan Yunshu, have to fail in my success?"
Everything in the world has a cause and effect. Seeing Yan Yunshu so lost, I couldn't help but become more and more curious about her motives for this trip. Just now, Lao Ji tested her to the point and pointed the finger directly at the incident sixty years ago. This should have reminded me that this Yan Yunshu is very likely to be related to the group of people who participated in the tomb robbery sixty years ago. .
My grandfather outlined the events of that year in his diary. He said that at the foot of Mount Yin, he rescued a man covered in blood, who was what Lao Ji called the blind man. More than sixty years ago, he was just a "lower person" among a group of local rats. They entered the Medicine Corpse Tomb because someone offered them a high price to open an ancient tomb on Mount Yin, but the end result was that they " Of the eight "Guozi" people, except for others who escaped, they all died in the tomb.
After he ran out with all his strength, he fell down the cliff. Fortunately, my grandfather saved him and saved his life. In order to repay his kindness, Shi Xiazi told everything about what happened. Later, my grandfather took Shi Xiazi into the medicine corpse tomb again, and found a brass key on the bodies of the eight people who died in the tomb. It was with this key that he found the ancient tomb where we are now under the Medicine Corpse Tomb.
The whole story is very simple, and there is no conspiracy hidden in it. But now that I think about it carefully, only the group of people who paid a high price to rob the tomb are worthy of suspicion. Because my grandfather's key was found from them, this means that they are likely to have a special connection with the owner of the tomb like Yan Yunshu, and they are even very likely to be his descendants.
Thinking of this, I suddenly became enlightened. Is it possible that Yan Yunshu's family is the descendant of the owner of this ancient tomb, and they have been thinking of ways to open the ancient tomb and take out the treasures hidden in the tomb by their ancestors. Unfortunately, they tried several times but failed. And Yan Yunshu came here just to fulfill the last wish of her ancestors?
But what kind of family are they? Even greater doubts arose in my heart. Although my grandfather taught me not to meddle in other people's business since childhood, my curiosity is out of control at this time, especially when I am still in danger. No one can put into words the uneasy feeling that I feel if I don't find out the truth. Expressed.
Mu Yunhe looked at Yan Yunshu. He knew that the situation was over, so he could only comfort him: "Mr. Yan, if you want to achieve great things, you need the right time, right place, right people, and the right people. Our failure this time was due to lack of time. It is not your fault. Don’t blame yourself, we still have a chance.”
At this time, Lao Ji laughed loudly, "Well said, the right time, the right place and the right people, Lao Mu, what you said is so good. But, I think it's not surprising that you guys can't be the key to everything. If you have bad luck, I can only blame you. Who said you have a bad character?"
After Lao Ji finished speaking, his two subordinates Wang Mian and Lao Xuan laughed in unison, "Yes, God is watching what you do."
Lao Mu's face turned pale. Seeing that he was still being humiliated despite his age, he was naturally furious, "You..."
"What's wrong with me? Is that wrong? Look at what you did before!" Lao Ji said dismissively.
"Okay!" Yan Yunshu said sternly, "Shut up!"
Yan Yunshu turned to me and asked: "Li Rui, please give me a happy word, can you open this door?"
I turned to look at Lao Ji, saw him nodding, and said, "Mr. Yan, since you asked, I will tell the truth. If I rely on my own ability, I will definitely not be able to open this door, but how many of us can My personal character has always been pretty good, and thanks to the blessing of my ancestor, he gave us some guidance on the way here, allowing us to find the last Canglong Qisu Key."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Yunhe felt as if he was struck by lightning, "What? What did you say? Did you find the Dragon Horn Key?"
I smiled slightly, "Yeah, look, is it this one?"
As I said that, I opened my palm and showed the brass key. When Mu Yunhe saw the key, his eyes widened and he wanted to snatch it. I immediately clenched my fists and pushed him away, "Hey, hey, Professor Mu, what are you doing? Just take a look, why are you still robbing things?"
Mu Yunhe said excitedly: "This is simply a dream. I gave up once, but I didn't expect it to turn around again. God bless me!"
This Canglong Qisu is also called the Eastern Qinglong Qisu. In ancient times, our ancestors divided the stars near the ecliptic into twenty-eight groups based on the trajectories and positions of the sun, moon, and stars, commonly known as the "twenty-eight constellations." The "Twenty-eight Constellations" are divided into "four elephants" according to the four directions of southeast, northwest, namely, the blue dragon in the east, the red bird in the south, the white tiger in the west, and the black basalt in the north. The seven stars in the east are "Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, and Ji", which form the Eastern Canglong, commonly known as the Canglong Seven Constellations.
The "Dragon Horn Key" mentioned by Mu Yunhe should be the most important of the seven Canglong Qisu keys, representing the "Spica" of the dragon horn. The horns, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail, and Ji in Canglong Qisu are respectively the dragon's horns, throat, forelegs, chest, dragon's heart, dragon's tail, and the whirlwind formed by the swinging of the dragon's tail. Their attributes are respectively wood, Metal, earth, sun, moon, fire, water.
Seeing that we had indeed found the Dragon Horn Key, Yan Yunshu was very excited, "That's great!"
Lao Ji didn't waste any time and started studying on the Broken Dragon Stone. The Qiqiao exquisite lock is in the center of the Broken Dragon Stone. It is made of brass and has a complete constellation-like layout. It seems that it should correspond to the Canglong Qisu.
He fiddled with it for a long time and smacked his lips, "Tsk, it seems that I have simplified the Qiqiao exquisite lock. The hole position on it corresponds to Canglong Qisu, but apart from the position of this dragon horn key, it can be determined In addition, the hole positions of the other keys are uncertain, and once the wrong key is inserted, all previous efforts will be wasted.”
"Huh?" When I heard this, my heart dropped a lot, and I thought, this is too cheating. I finally found the most critical dragon horn key, but then this happened again, and I deliberately took it. Are we kidding? I turned to look at Yan Yunshu and asked, "Mr. Yan, you should know the corresponding constellation for the key in your hand, right?"
Unexpectedly, Yan Yunshu shook her head decisively, "I didn't expect that this key can only be used once. I didn't confirm the corresponding stars before coming here."
Mu Yunhe also blamed himself, "Oh, I didn't think well enough and didn't think of this level."
While Lao Ji was tinkering, he said: "Now you know why it is important to look for Long Taibao to take action! Among the five gates of Mojin, Faqiu, Xunlong, Moving Mountain and Xiling, Mojin and Faqiu both understand yin and yang. The art of Feng Shui, even the Gold Captain and the Star Feng Shui, can observe the stars in the sky and examine the earth's veins, but the one who truly knows astrology numbers must be the Xunlong Taibao."
"This Canglong Qisu seems to be an astronomy, but in fact it contains Yili. The cleverness of Qiqiao Exquisite Lock is that it integrates Yili into mechanical engineering. To crack it, not only must A deep understanding of mechanics and a thorough knowledge of Yi Xue are both indispensable. Otherwise, even if you get seven keys together, you will get nothing." Lao Ji continued.
"Then do you have a way to crack it?" Mu Yunhe asked anxiously.
"There is always a way. There is no lock in the world that cannot be opened, only people who cannot open the lock." Lao Ji said without looking back.
At this time, I also asked anxiously: "Lao Ji, please stop being so secretive and just say what you can do."
"There is only one way to break the Seven Skills Lock, and that is the hexagrams and lines!"
