Yue Guanchao and Keli walked to the stone floor one after another. As they walked, they kept testing the hollowness and solidity of the floor with their feet. By the time they finished walking the distance traveled by these thugs, they had already used the dagger in their hands to draw all the signs with traps. On the floor, the two stopped when they reached the end of the corpse. If they went further, there would be no more corpses to check for them in advance. Every time they stepped on it, they might encounter a trap.
Yue Guanchao had an idea and used the dead corpses to move forward. These corpses themselves had weight. As long as they fell to the floor, they would cause the floor to vibrate and trigger the mechanism. They didn't need to be in danger. The two of them kept moving the corpses toward them. Moving forward, on this basis, the mechanisms were triggered one after another. It was not until I walked nearly fifty meters that I saw the patterns of certain mechanisms.
Song Siyuan had already seen the patterns of the mechanisms and signaled them to return to the original route. After Yue Guanchao returned to the original point, she looked at everyone and said, "My guess just now was wrong. I suspect that these mechanisms are not the type that trigger hidden weapons, but It's a switch-type mechanism, which means that as long as you follow certain rules, you can create a smooth road, you see!"
She motioned everyone to look at the logos drawn by Yue Guanchao and the others. It was obvious that there were certain patterns. Sun Daqiao noticed that there was a way and put on his glasses. After mumbling for a while, he patted his head and said to everyone: "This is the Tiangang Shu Technique."
"Tiangang Numbers Technique? What is that?"
Everyone is not familiar with this concept, but it should be related to certain Bagua rules.
Sun Daqiao coughed a few times, cleared his old smoker's throat, and explained the origin of Tiangang Shushu.
The so-called Tiangang numerology was originally derived from Guiguzi's Shuyan Qimen arithmetic, which can be regarded as a mechanism technique developed from the calculation method.
Most of the mechanism techniques are derived from Luban's thaumaturgy. They rely on finely crafted gears and fine springs to drive the mechanism to achieve the purpose of mechanism operation. In addition to Luban's thaumaturgy, there is another method of manipulating the mechanism, which is Guiguzi's Shuyan. Qimen.
If Luban's thaumaturgy is compared to using gears and fine springs to drive mechanisms, then Shuyanqimen uses a lot of calculations to determine which parts of the entire mechanism are most likely to be triggered? Which agencies are most likely to be ignored? Where are the mechanisms that have never been found? A lot of arithmetic is used to determine the probability of triggering the mechanism, so as to maximize the effectiveness of the mechanism.
It is rumored that Guiguzi can use arithmetic to distinguish between monarchs and ministers, clarify priorities and simplify complexities, and create the most sophisticated mechanisms. This kind of mechanism is completely different from the mechanisms created by Luban's thaumaturgy. The mechanism of Luban's magic relies on It is a sophisticated structure. No matter who comes, as long as the mechanism is triggered, it will be nothing more than throwing rocks and arrows, spitting fire and being poisoned. If it doesn't work, the mountain will shake and collapse. It means that no matter who enters the mechanism, they will face nothing more than these. . Guiguzi is best at combining vertical and horizontal connections to control people's hearts. His Shuyan Qimen also integrates the ever-changing human nature of people's hearts into the mechanisms created by Shuyan Qimen. It is said that whether the mechanism can be activated depends entirely on the kind of person who comes. Mind and human nature, not what mechanism he triggered.
On this basis, these agencies seem to have brains, completely avoiding most people's methods of cracking the agency, using the suspicious characteristics of human nature to bring them into a situation where they are about to crack the agency, just waiting for someone to take the bait. This will trigger the mechanism he finally set up.
Whether they are reckless and powerful people, delicate people, cautious people, shrewd and cunning people, evil-minded people, or kind-hearted people, as long as the people who enter the organization are different, the rules of the organization they see will also be different. completely different.
Under the influence of human nature, people will be very willing to believe the truth they see. They will not have any doubts about the laws of the mechanism, and naturally they will enter the weird mechanism of Shuyan Qimen. As for what will happen next Whatever the situation is, it has to do with the fate of the person who cracked the mechanism.
Regardless of the identity of the person who cracked the mechanism, as long as they have the idea of cracking the mechanism, the Shuyanqi Sect will eventually kill them. Even if the person who cracks the mechanism finds the secret of the mechanism, they may die in the last step, and even let some people die. People die in an unknown way. Even if they are about to die after being ambushed by an agency, they just feel that they are at a disadvantage and believe that what they have found is the secret to the agency. They will not think that their so-called cracking of the agency is just an illusion.
To put it bluntly, what we are taking advantage of is the insidious and cunning nature of human nature!
By the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Guiguzi sect was gradually lost and extinct. The Shuyanqi sect was mastered by mathematicians in the Qin and Han dynasties and turned into Tiangang Shushu, which was specially used to calculate more complex mathematical puzzles and various difficult calculations. The manufacturing mechanism was completely forgotten. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng visited the Guizang Mountains and promoted Tiangang Shushu.
Speaking of this, Sun Daqiao lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Now that I think about it, many of the strange phenomena we experienced when entering the Ancestral Soul Palace seemed to be created by Tiangang Shushu. It is precisely because of this that we can feel the environment. Linked together, it’s like being pushed forward from behind. Isn’t this state of attracting people into the trap the specialty of the Shuyan Qimen?”
Song Siyuan and the others did not expect that there would be such a calculation method as Shu Yan Qi Sect in the agency. Isn't it equivalent to calculating people's hearts thoroughly?
This means that Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng had already calculated a thousand or two thousand years ago that someone would find the tomb through camel blood and walk into it. His eyes lit up and he said: "If this is the case, the rhythm of the mechanism we saw is false. , is it just an illusion created based on our human nature?”
Sun Daqiao nodded towards him: "Yes, if we use this illusion to find rules and crack the mechanism, I'm afraid we won't know how to die in the end."
"Then how do you break this mechanism?"
Yue Guanchao looked at the marks they had made, and felt that all the hard work had been wasted.
Yue Qingshan thought for a moment and his tone became mysterious: "Don't be discouraged. No matter how varied the Tiangang number technique is, it is also formed from the Bagua. There is a saying that has been passed down to this day, that is, the seven constellations of the Big Dipper, the sixty-four numbers, the Tiangang and the earth evil, all belong to this."
"It means that no matter how powerful the Tiangang numerology is, it just evolves according to the hexagrams of the Eight Diagrams. There must be Taoism in the dark, but we must not crack the mechanism through self-righteous tips, lest we fall into the trap of the Tiangang numerology. Is it best to break away from the trap and find another way to break it?"
The Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, sixty-four numbers, Tiangang and Earthly Evils, all come together here. Song Siyuan murmured and tasted these sixteen words, guessing: "Could it be related to the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, whether it is the Thirty-six Tiangang or the Seventy-two Earthly Evils." , are considered to be the stars in the sky. The main star of the stars is the Big Dipper, which is also called the Big Dipper. The key to whether it can be cracked is not what mechanism we see, but the relationship between these sixty-four changes and the Big Dipper. .”
"It's possible." Yue Qingshan nodded towards Song Siyuan.
With this guess, Song Siyuan began to look up at the top of the grotto, and they did find something on the dark top.
"Look, it looks like a silver platter."
After Song Siyuan said these words, everyone followed the electric light poles and could clearly feel that there seemed to be seven water tank-sized silver plates arranged on the top of the entire grotto. Since it was high enough from the ground to the top of the grotto, these silver plates shrank to the size of a fist. When there is no light, it is completely hidden in darkness, but as long as it is illuminated by a flashlight, you can see the bright light as round as the bright moon.
They then stood apart, and each person shined a flashlight on one of the silver plates. After the seven people were fully seated, they saw seven silver plates forming the shape of spoons, which glowed silvery white under the flashlight, as if they were all people. Seven huge stars appeared above the head, just forming the Big Dipper. .
"But I don't know what the use of this thing is?"
Yue Guanchao looked at the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper was just at the top of the cave. Apart from shining when it shines on the light beam, it had no other use.
When Song Siyuan observed the flashlight beam, she clearly felt that a lot of tiny rays of light could be emitted from the disk. This was just because their flashlight light was too weak, and the tiny rays of light were only limited to the area around the silver disk.
Realizing this, she said excitedly: "Maybe it's because our light is too weak. If we use a stronger light to shine on this silver plate, maybe we can find something. Is it a little brighter?" A flashlight?"
