Wu Xiaoxie shook his head. This method would not work. First of all, the bronze ball was sealed as a whole and could not be opened. And even if it could be opened, whether it could be put back was another matter. Secondly, it was underwater and too restrictive, so they had no time to take risks.
After much thought, I still had to get in the water and take a closer look.
Wu Xiaoxie tried his best to let himself dive down. Xie Yuchen was lighting him up from the side. He walked around the module several times, but found that there were no flaws at all from the appearance. None of the chains had been used frequently.
The two of them came to the surface to take a breath, and Wu Xiaoxie already had his own thoughts.
He looked at the dozen or so thinner iron chains extending from the hive. As long as the thick iron chains were twitched, several of these thin chains would definitely be linked, but what if it was the other way around?
There were five main iron chains in total. He counted them and found that there were twenty-three thin ones.
Since the main iron chain affects the thin iron chain, the thin iron chain is the hub that controls the punishment of correctness and wrongness. If all the thin iron chains are cut off, then they will be able to experiment endlessly.
Most of the times will lead to the wrong pulling sequence. Even if the correct pulling sequence cannot be tried immediately, but they already know the wrong pulling sequence, they will be able to detect it immediately when the correct pulling sequence appears.
He immediately told Xie Yuchen his idea. Although it was cumbersome to try, it was very feasible.
Jie Yuchen gave him a thumbs up and patted his shoulder, "Without further ado, let's get started."
The two first numbered the main chain and all the thin chains, then carefully cut them off with a hacksaw, marking both ends to prevent confusion.
Next came the physical and careful work. Wu Xiaoxie moved the main iron chain, while Xie Yuchen observed on the thin iron chain and tried them one by one in order.
As expected, it was consistent with Wu Xiaoxie's idea. As a result of most pulling, the thin iron chains were pulled in the same order. This was obviously wrong.
After finishing it, Wu Xiaoxie wiped the water from his face and asked Xie Yuchen how he was doing.
Jie Yuchen stared at the numbers recorded in the book and said: "Judging from the order of the chains just pulled, the order of the chains that will lead to punishment is four, five, eight, twelve, and twenty-one."
Wu Xiaoxie took a breath and said, "Come again."
What followed was another experiment over and over again. Wu Xiaoxie got into the water over and over again, and his face turned white.
I don't know how long it took, but Xie Yuchen suddenly stopped him, "Wait a minute, this is, yes, that's right, this is it."
Jie Yuchen circled the numbers in his notebook, fished Wu Xiaoxie out of the water, and let him rest aside. He used carabiners to reconnect the thin iron chains.
Wu Xiaoxie squeezed the water from his clothes and stood up to help him.
Jie Yuchen waved his hand to let him have a good rest, then went into the water to pull the corresponding main chains.
The moment he saw the thin iron chain being tightened, Wu Xiaoxie's heart was in his throat, and then he heard the sound of ancient mechanism hubs moving from the surrounding cave walls.
The sound lasted for five or six minutes. The two looked at each other with happy expressions on their faces.
"Success, let's go up and have a look." Wu Xiaoxie said happily.
The two immediately packed up their things and climbed back from the rope, returning to the top with Xiaoba.
Sure enough, strange changes occurred on the relief walls in the stone chamber. Some holes were filled with reliefs, and some were still empty. The entire stone wall turned into a very strange puzzle.
Wu Xiaoxie muttered in a daze, "Is this the correct answer?"
Xie Yuchen sat down on the ground, unscrewed the water bottle and took a few sips, "It was a waste of time that we worked on it. The answer seems surprisingly simple."
The two of them sat on the edge and recalled the whole process carefully.
After confirming that there was no problem, Wu Xiaoxie breathed a sigh of relief, took out his camera and took pictures of the stone wall, not even skipping the corners. "This is the best we can do. Leave the prompt to Banai. Then it’s up to them.”
﹉﹉﹉
The photos quickly spread to the mountains of Banai, and everyone was excited.
It was just after lunch. The fat man was holding a bowl of mung bean soup and sighed, "I am lazy by nature. I just want to be free and wallow in the world of mortals. It makes me feel uneasy."
After speaking, he raised his eyelids and pointed to a short distance with his hand-knitted Teletubbies straw hat, "Look, Cao Cao is here."
Zhang Zhuxun still held a half-knitted straw hat in his hand. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids indifferently and glanced at where the fat man was pointing. Huo Zhizhi was coming towards them with a serious face.
He picked up the other straw hat on the side and put it on his head. He stood up and dusted off the grass clippings on his body, "Let's go and see what Tianzhen wrote in the letter to us."
The younger brother also stood up and pushed the straw hat on his head.
Zhang Zhuoxun couldn't help but laugh when he saw it. When he was making this straw hat for his brother, he had a sudden idea and made two straw ears on it.
After putting it on, my original cold temperament suddenly became a bit cute.
The little brother's face was paralyzed. Seeing Zhang Zhuoxun smiling so happily, he pursed his lips helplessly.
The fat man's straw hat was made by himself. Seeing that Zhang Zhuxun made two ears for his little brother, he wanted to decorate his own straw hat. He felt that the ears were not domineering enough and did not suit his temperament, so he planned to create one himself.
In the end, when he finally got it out and put it on his head, it looked like an oversized bird's nest with an antenna inserted into it. The key point was that he had to wrap a circle of straw around the top of the antenna.
The fat man himself didn't feel ugly. Instead, he put his hands on his hips and sneered. He was known as the Fat Thunderbolt Knight.
The three of them got up together. Huo Zhizhi thought that the three of them were going to run elsewhere again, so he hurried over and said, "You three, our master invites you to come over."
The fat man finished the remaining mung bean soup in one gulp, put the bowl into Huo Zhizhi's hand, and called Zhang Zhu and the two of them, "Let's go and see what's going on."
Huo Zhizhi had become so accustomed to being tortured by the fat man these days that he put the bowl on the table and led the three of them to another tent.
"Master, we are here." Huo Zhizhi saluted Mrs. Huo who was sitting on the throne.
Huo Xiangu was leaning back on the chair, closing her eyes and concentrating, and waved her hands lightly when she heard the words.
Huo Zhizhi nodded slightly, bowed to Zhang Zhuoxun and the others, "Please sit down," and then withdrew.
Zhang Zhuxun and the other three found chairs to sit down on, and took off their straw hats.
Huo Xiangu pushed over a piece of letter paper and several photos on the table in front of her.
"You guys should take a look at the photos sent from Siguniang Mountain first."
The fat man took the photo, looked at it, sighed, and muttered: "Why does it seem a little different from the Feng Shi inside?"
Zhang Zhuxun slowly flipped through the photos one by one, allowing both of them to take a closer look. "It's normal. There is something stuck on the surface of the sealing stone."
"Something stuck? What?" The fat man wondered.
"Horse manure." Zhang Zhuxun said calmly.
"Holy shit!" Fatty yelled, "No wonder you didn't even touch it with your hands, and you deliberately tricked me into touching it, saying that you could get the fairy spirit of the old Zhang family."
Zhang Zhuoxun rolled his eyes and said seriously: "Just tell me that you have been fishing in the river for the past two days and your luck has improved. Last time you caught a big herring that was more than one meter long."
The fat man chuckled, "You still have the nerve to say that, but with a flick of the fish's tail, Fatty's little raft almost overturned, and the fishing rod even broke when the man and the boat were dragged out for two miles."
He said a little proudly, "But in the end, Fatty and I narrowly won. The strong fish tastes good and is covered in meat."
Sitting at the top, Huo Xiangu saw that they were getting more and more biased, so she couldn't help coughing to draw their attention back.
Seeing that Zhang Shuxun had finished flipping through the photos in his hand, he turned around and asked his brother, "What do you think?"
The little brother nodded slightly, "You can give it a try."
Huo Xiangu breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on her face, "Okay, let's get ready, and the three of us will set off with the advance team."
Zhang Shuxun made an OK gesture, and then said casually, "Old lady, the guy next to you is named Huo Zhongling. Why haven't I seen him in the past two days?"
Huo Xiangu's originally relaxed expression suddenly froze, and then she took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened, "Zhong Ling went down the mountain to deal with some things in the village, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Zhang Zhuoxun smiled and put away the photo and letter, "It's nothing, I just think that person looks special."
"You have a good rest." After Zhang Zhuxun said this, he stood up with his straw hat and walked out of the tent with his little brother.
The fat man was hesitant to talk along the way, and finally returned to his tent. He couldn't hold it back and asked: "Muyu, who is the person named Huo Zhongling you mentioned? Why don't I seem to have seen this person before? .”
Zhang Zhuxun unfolded the letter and said while reading: "It's normal if you don't remember seeing him. The person's presence is very low. If I hadn't carefully observed Huo Xiuxiu, I would have passed him by."
The fat man became more and more confused, "Why does this have anything to do with Huo Xiuxiu again?"
"Didn't you realize?" Zhang Zhuxun lowered his voice, "The Huo Xiuxiu who stayed at the camp this morning to manage logistics was fake."
"What the hell?" Fatty was shocked, "Has Huo Xiuxiu been betrayed by a stinky rat?"
Zhang Zhuxun looked at him speechlessly. The fat man reacted, scratched his head, and laughed dryly, "Fat man is just too lazy to use his brain, but according to what you said, the fake Huo Xiuxiu can only be the handiwork of the old lady. If it is really the work of a mouse, Handwriting, the old lady must not go crazy, what about that, Muyu, you continue to analyze."
Zhang Zhuxun handed the letter to the younger brother and continued: "I speculate that Huo Zhongling should be the trump card left by the old lady to Huo Xiuxiu. Although his presence is low, his status is not low in the eyes of the Huo family."
"I deliberately stared at him for a while, and found that Huo Zhizhi would unconsciously become shorter when talking to him, but a person as social as you, Fatty, has never noticed him. This can only mean that he is deliberately in front of us. Reduce presence.”
Zhang Zhuxun nodded at the table and said, "Old Mrs. Huo came here with the determination to die this time. How could she drag Huo Xiuxiu into the water? So she had no choice but to exchange the prince for the prince. That Huo Zhongling must have been arranged by her to transfer the real person." Huo Xiuxiu."
The fat man also gradually came to his senses and cursed secretly: "This old woman is so cunning and cunning, she actually hid such a secret card."
Huo Xiuxiu is still too young and not powerful enough to deter those fox ghosts and snake gods.
Once the old lady is gone, those people from the Huo family will definitely suppress the news of the old lady's accident for a while, and then use this period to stir up trouble and compete for the Huo family's property. By then, the entire Huo family will be in chaos.
In the original plot, Huo Xiuxiu was forced to retreat abroad because Huo Youxue and the others had no choice but to retreat abroad. Fortunately, Mrs. Huo had the foresight to transfer part of the Huo family's assets outside, leaving a way out for Huo Xiuxiu. She laid the foundation for her later return to power in the Huo family.
Zhang Zhuxun could understand Mrs. Huo's mood, but this was not the reason why she plotted against them again and again.
That's why he suddenly said Huo Zhongling's name just now, as a warning to the old lady.
"Warn her, lest she get mad and treat us as pawns." Zhang Zhuxun said calmly.
The fat man grinned and said, "Fat man, why do you suddenly have a bad feeling in your heart? Come on, let me see what Tianzhen said in the letter."
The little brother handed him the letter, and the fat man shouted while reading it, "The experience over there in innocence is really strange and dangerous. It's much more interesting than guarding a broken cave here every day."
The three of them packed up their equipment and chatted.
Huo Zhizhi suddenly ran over in a hurry and said to Zhang Zhu, "The master of the house has something urgent to see you."
Zhang Zhuoxun's eyebrows sank slightly, a little displeased. What trick did Mrs. Huo want to play again?
The fat man threw the packed backpack onto the cot, put his arm around Zhang Zhuxun's shoulders, and said, "I'll go with you."
Muyu had just used Huo Xiuxiu as a raft to warn the old woman. There was no guarantee that the old woman would not use some insidious and despicable means to deal with Muyu.
After all, a secret that is exposed is no longer a secret.
Huo Zhizhi was a little embarrassed, "The head of the family only invited Mr. Yu to come over."
The fat man raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to speak, Zhang Zhuxun patted him on the arm.
"It's okay." Zhang Zhuxun knew that the fat man was worried, so he gave him and the younger brother a calm look, "I know what's going on."
"Okay." The fat man took a step back and glared at Huo Zhizhi, "Tell your old lady, our Muyu has only three minutes to leave the team. If it times out, don't blame the fat man for not recognizing his relatives."
When Zhang Zhu found it, there was a complete set of tea sets on the table in front of Huo Xiangu, and she was slowly making tea by herself.
Seeing Zhang Zhuxun come in, he just tilted his head and gestured to the chair, "Sit down."
"You don't have to be so polite." Zhang Zhuxun smiled lightly, did not sit down, and said straight to the point, "If you have anything to do, you can give me direct instructions, as long as the money is in place."
Seeing that he was standing instead of sitting down, Huo Xiangu's eyes flashed slightly and she said slowly: "As far as I know, you are not short of money."
Zhang Shuxun's smile did not change, "Who can have too much money?"
Seeing that he was so ignorant, Huo Xiangu said helplessly: "That's someone else you're talking about, not you, and I've had someone check it. You have an astonishing amount of assets on the surface. This is just from the time you appeared next to Wu Xie." start."
