Ye Li naturally knew exactly who was being entertained at the dinner. He knew that the masters of the Tianhun Society were most likely in the big house.
Therefore, when he wanted to sneak into the treasure house, he had to be extremely careful and must not make too much noise.
Ye Li took a deep breath, then avoided the patrol routes of the surrounding patrol teams and sneaked into the courtyard where the big house was located.
In addition to the guards, there were also some servants walking around in the courtyard, delivering dishes and drinks into the big house.
However, there were no masters among the people outside the big house, so it was difficult for them to discover Ye Li's whereabouts.
After all, he is also a master of the middle stage of Talisman Saint. Both his realm strength and physical cultivation level have reached the middle stage of Talisman Saint. Compared with ordinary people, he is already a god-like existence.
Ye Li calmly walked through the dark shadows, quickly bypassed the big house and came to the small house.
After taking a look at the two guards at the door of the hut, Ye Li casually threw a small stone into the middle of the door of the hut.
He didn't use much strength in this shot, so it didn't make any loud noise.
The only ones who could hear the noise were the two guards standing at the door of the hut.
When they heard the sound of pebbles hitting the ground, they both looked down at the ground unconsciously.
When they saw it was just a small stone, they thought it was blown down by the wind.
Just as the two of them looked up, a figure suddenly appeared. Before they could see the situation in front of them clearly, two soul forces swept across their bodies and fixed them in place.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to this place, Ye Li rushed to the door of the cabin decisively.
The closer you get to the two of them, the more powerful the soul-walking talisman becomes. Naturally, Ye Li would have to walk in front of the two people before he could activate the soul-walking talisman.
After controlling the two people, Ye Li reached out and pushed open the wooden door of the hut, then entered the treasure house.
After closing the two doors, a circular hall appeared in front of Ye Li.
There is only a huge statue in the hall, which depicts an old man holding a scroll.
Ye Li speculated that the old man might be an ancestor of the Qi family, most likely the first head of the family. After all, many families would preserve the image of the first head of the family in the form of sculptures for the younger generations to remember and worship.
There is no door to the treasure house in the entire prototype hall. It looks more like an auditorium for commemorating ancestors.
But Ye Li knew that this was definitely not the auditorium. After all, no auditorium would need guards stationed at the door.
The reason for garrisoning here must be because there is something valuable hidden here.
The two guards outside were still in a daze and could not feel any movement in the hut at all, so Ye Li reached out and pushed the statue.
Suddenly, the sound of a spring vibrating came from the statue. Although the sound was very subtle, it still could not escape Ye Li's ears.
The statue was not pushed by Ye Li, but judging from the sound of the spring just now, this statue should be a mechanism.
Ye Li looked at the base under the statue and guessed that the entrance to the treasure house might be under the statue.
Although Ye Li knew that his guess was almost right, he still didn't dare to use violence to push down the statue. After all, since it was a mechanism, it would have some warning effect.
Using brute force to crack the mechanism may be the fastest way, but it is also the easiest to be discovered.
Ye Li thought about it and said to Tunri, "Senior Tunri, how do you think this mechanism can be cracked?"
Tunri said: "What is there to guess? Ordinary families cannot afford to hire a formation master to set up the formation, so the mechanisms they use are mostly pure springs.
Taking this statue as an example, it is very likely that twisting the statue's arm or pressing the eye will cause the spring to open.
However, the Qi family is obviously not a family that can't afford to hire a formation master to set up the formation, so their mechanism must be related to the formation, which means that it requires a rune key to open.
Although there are springs in the statue, all of them are controlled by rune formations. If you want to open the mechanism, you must know the rune key.
After all, the rune key is more reliable than twisting the statue's wrist or pressing the statue's eyes. After all, this kind of key is absolutely impossible to draw by guesswork, while other mechanisms can be cracked by experimentation!"
Ye Li was silent for a moment after hearing this, then suddenly chuckled and said, "The rune key is indeed not easy to crack. Generally speaking, it is difficult to find the correct drawing method by guessing.
But for me, this may not be so difficult, because I have the Eye of Origin!"
Knowing that the statue could be opened by a rune key, Ye Li felt relieved.
His Eye of the Origin can directly see the essential core of things around him, and the flow of spiritual energy in the rune formation cannot escape the Eye of the Origin.
If Ye Li could see the formation inside the statue clearly through the Eye of Origin, then he would have a great chance of deducing the composition of the rune key directly from this formation.
After all, Ye Li himself can be regarded as a master of rune formations. He is proficient in casting weapons, and his understanding of rune formations far exceeds that of ordinary rune masters.
Ye Li's spiritual power suddenly gathered and poured into his forehead. A purple vertical eye suddenly opened from his forehead.
A layer of purple light suddenly covered Ye Li's eyes.
When his eyes fell on the statue, the rune formation inside the statue indeed appeared in his eyes. There was a piece missing on the formation, causing the formation to be in a state of stagnation.
Once the formation is activated, the statue will move, revealing the hidden tunnel underneath.
With Ye Li's current condition, the Eye of Origin can last much longer than before, and can already function continuously for half an hour.
Ye Li opened the Eye of Origin and began to observe the statue in front of him with the magical power of the Eye of Origin. The formation on the statue was extremely clear in his eyes.
After observing it for a while, Ye Li immediately determined that this was just a very ordinary rune formation. Among the rune formation mechanisms, it was as easy to crack as an ordinary iron lock.
It only took him an incense stick of time to reversely deduce the shape of the rune key based on the missing parts of the formation.
After closing the Eye of Origin, an extremely faint spiritual light lit up in Ye Li's hand, and then a rune key appeared in his hand, which he directly hit into the body of the statue.
A golden light flashed in the eyes of the statue, and then a slight sound of a spring was heard. The statue automatically moved back a distance, revealing a passage hidden under the base.
