The groundhog originally wanted to show off, and maybe he could get more points when he found the treasure later.
But it turns out that he thought too much, and his method did not achieve the expected results.
The other Jianghu people around looked at him with a hint of ridicule, while Jin Huan on the side was even more furious and said to him in a cold voice: "More than a hundred people have been playing with you for a long time, is it fun?"
Just as the woodchuck was about to explain, Jin Huan shouted loudly and said, "Are you kidding me? Ah? Guard, pull him down!"
Hearing this, Tubo shivered in fear. He was just a small guardian of the Earth-Escape Sect. Once he fell into the hands of the military, he would probably lose his skin even if he died.
He suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy. How miserable and miserable it looked!
So, people should not be too arrogant, because they might just be proud of their front foot, but their back foot will be finished.
The fellow Jianghu guests were all watching the show. After all, the matter had nothing to do with them and they were left alone. This was the normal state of the world.
At this time, no one is adding insult to injury, which is considered good.
Seeing this guy kowtowing desperately, dripping with snot and tears, this big old man actually started crying in public.
Jin Huan looked at him like this and became more and more upset. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's make a note of it this time. If we do it again, we will double the punishment!"
Hearing this, the landhog quickly kowtowed to the ground a few more times and kept saying, "Thank you so much, General Jin! I will definitely make up for my past mistakes!"
Then he quickly got up in despair and returned to the back of the team, eager to hide himself.
Seeing the various faces of the landhogs in this circle, it can be regarded as a thorough study of the three words "shameless".
Although the people around him are very shameful about the behavior of the landowners, they used to pretend to be powerful, but now they kneel down and beg for mercy without any dignity at all. It is really embarrassing for people in the world.
However, it has to be said that no matter in the world of politics or official circles, this kind of people live the longest.
They deeply understand the principle that "people have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves", and they also gave a high-sounding reason for this behavior, called "Those who understand current affairs are heroes."
I don’t know if they are handsome or not, but these people are the most chaotic.
In this situation where he was bound to be severely punished, Tubo Yiyi knelt down and begged for mercy. Although he seemed to be humiliated, he had lost nothing. Once he escaped from the underground palace, no one would be able to find him.
Is it possible that a large army is really going out for a little guy like him? Impossible.
However, although the land poaching method failed, the matter must be solved.
So Jin Huan looked around and said again: "Don't be stingy with your abilities. If anyone can open this Vajra Gate, I will reward you heavily!"
"The one who opens the door will be rewarded with one..., no, three hundred taels of silver!"
When they heard this attractive number, the visitors were all moved, but they were a little hesitant when they thought about what happened to the landhogs before.
After all, money is good, but life is more important!
If he messes up, who knows whether General Jin will kill him as a warning to others, this is all uncertain!
But under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!
In the surprised eyes of everyone, an old man with a goatee walked out of the crowd, followed by a child.
Jin Huan looked at the old and the young and thought to himself that you two only accounted for half of the four words "old, weak, sick and disabled". Is this okay?
Although I feel a little nervous in my heart, at this point, I can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, maybe it will work!
Jin Huan asked: "Old sir, is there any way to open this door?"
The old man with the goatee nodded.
Seeing this, Jin Huan said: "Okay! Then old sir, please start quickly!"
After saying that, seeing that the old man had been silent for a long time, Jin Huan asked in confusion: "Do you have any questions, sir?"
The old man with the goatee rubbed his hands and asked a little embarrassedly: "General Jin, is that... three hundred taels true?"
Jin Huan looked at this old man's money-obsessed look and felt a little disdainful, but he still smiled and said: "Don't worry, I am true to my word, general!"
When the old man with the goatee heard this, he almost laughed from ear to ear, and kept chanting: "That's good! That's good!"
Jin Huan said patiently: "In that case, let's get started!"
The old man with the goatee quickly cupped his hand and said, "Yes!"
Then he waved to Lin Yan and said, "Disciple, come with me as master."
Lin Yan couldn't help but cursed: "This old guy took advantage of me!"
But with so many people watching, he came in pretending to be this old man's disciple, and now he can only continue to act.
Lin Yan walked to the old man, and the old man continued: "Disciple, today I will let you see the world as a teacher!"
Lin Yan curled his lips, thinking that this old man had so many dramas, it would be a pity not to sing on the stage.
I saw the old man with a goatee leading Lin Yan to the Diamond Gate, touching the stone gate to the left, looking to the right, and turning around.
Seeing this, the landhog couldn't help but muttered: "What are you pretending to be!"
Despite his age, the old man had pretty good ears. He turned around and looked at the groundhog with disdain and said, "What do you know, you thief rat? Just shut up and watch!"
The soil dog was extremely angry, but he didn't say anything more. He folded his arms and waited for the old man to make a fool of himself.
After wandering around for a while, the old man with the goatee pressed a button somewhere on the Vajra Door. With a creaking sound, a layer of stone slabs in the middle of the door slowly pushed up, revealing a four-sided Square grooves.
The people around took a closer look and saw that in the middle of the groove was a ring-shaped object with two floors, with a stone pillar about half a foot long passing through the middle.
It is not accurate to say that it is a ring. There are saw teeth on it, as well as on the stone pillars inside, and the two interlock with each other.
It was also the first time for everyone to see this thing, and they didn't understand what it was.
Jin Huan on the side asked: "Old sir, this is..."
The old man with the goatee replied: "It's a lock."
Lock? Everyone was dubious. Who had never seen the lock? But there has never been a lock that looks like this. Is this old man trying to trick us?
The old man with the goatee continued: "I, Zhang Deshou, have lived for most of my life, and this is the first time I have seen this kind of lock."
Only then did Lin Yan know that the old man's name was Zhang Deshou. Let's not talk about longevity. His greed for money doesn't seem to have much to do with De!
"Since this is the first time I've seen it, how do you know it's a lock?" asked a bald man with a scar.
Old Man Zhang looked at him like a fool until he couldn't stand it anymore.
The scarred man asked fiercely: "What's wrong?"
Old Man Zhang turned his head and stopped looking at him, as if he thought his IQ was too low and would be contagious if he looked at him for a long time. He then said, "I once read an ancient book and it was recorded in it."
"This kind of lock is called 'Stem Lock', which is also easy to understand. 'Stem' is the Heavenly Stem and 'Zhi' is the Earthly Branch. A, B, B, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui are the ten stems. , Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai are the twelve branches. By matching the stems and branches in sequence, there are sixty different combinations."
"The key to opening the door is to unlock it, and the key to unlocking it is to find the most correct arrangement, and there are only three chances. Once you are wrong three times, the Vajra Gate will be completely locked."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh. They could only try three times to choose one of the sixty kinds. For this group of people, it couldn't be said to be very difficult, it was simply impossible!
Jin Huan thought so too, but still asked Old Man Zhang with a glimmer of hope: "Is there anything you can do, sir?"
To Jin Huan's surprise, Old Man Zhang replied affirmatively: "Of course!"
"Oh?" Jin Huan was really surprised this time. This old man might actually be a hidden expert.
But before he could be happy, old man Zhang continued: "It's just that unlocking is too stressful, and it takes a lot of brain power. This..." As he said this, the old man stretched out his fingers and twisted them without leaving any trace.
Jin Huan saw this gesture and immediately understood, it turned out that the old man wanted money! A coldness flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "Thank you for your hard work, old gentleman. In this way, I will give the old gentleman another two hundred taels. The old gentleman must take good care of himself!"
The words "take care of yourself" were said very strongly, which meant that Jin Huan was dissatisfied with his behavior of raising prices.
Old man Zhang didn't seem to understand the coldness in Jin Huan's words, and said with a smile: "I am so old, so thank you General!"
After saying that, Old Man Zhang came to the stone door again and stared at the "Ganzhi Lock" for a while, and then he started to move.
As the old man fiddled with his hands, the two ring-shaped objects in the groove were also rotated around. Under the nervous gaze of everyone, Old Man Zhang's hands stopped.
Everyone stared at Shimen and seemed to have no reaction.
Old man Zhang embarrassedly stroked his goatee and said, "Mistake!"
Everyone was speechless for a while when they saw this.
Then, Old Man Zhang started his second attempt. He picked up a pebble on the ground and wrote something on the ground.
After a while, the ground became densely covered with words he had calculated. It turned out that he was deducing the arrangement and combination of the "stem and branch locks".
Then I saw Old Man Zhang stand up, confidently walk to the "Ganzhi Lock" and play with it for a while, and then waited for a long time, but still nothing happened.
This time it failed again!
Old man Zhang seemed to be angry too, and cursed: "What kind of junk thing, why can't it be opened? Huh?"
Everyone was speechless for a while after hearing this. If you ask us, who should we ask?
Suddenly, Old Man Zhang closed his eyes and said to himself: "Forget it, leave it to fate!"
Then, he closed his eyes and touched the "ganzhi lock", seemingly intending to break the jar!
This is not possible!
Everyone exclaimed and rushed to stop him.
But they are still some distance away from the old man, and the old man is too close to the "Ganzhisuo".
Jin Huan was the closest and flew forward to stop him, but he was still a step too slow and couldn't help but cursed angrily in his heart: "You bastard!"
Just hearing a crisp sound of "pop", everyone present fell silent.
Old man Zhang slowly opened his eyes, looked at the "Ganzhi Lock" in front of him, then looked back at everyone, and said sarcastically: "It seems...it's open!"
Then I saw continuous sounds coming from the connection between the bottom of the Vajra Gate and the ground, and the stone buckles were disconnected one after another.
It turns out that it was because these buckles were connected to the stone slabs buried deep in the ground that the huge stone door could not be opened for a long time.
At this moment, the lock was unlocked, and with a rumbling sound, the Vajra Gate slowly lifted up, and the entrance to the underground palace appeared in front of everyone...
