The luminous pearl rested in front of his feet, leaning against the wall, the light came from bottom to top, the dagger pierced in the wall was reflected an extremely long shadow, reaching to the roof, like a black beam.
Inch by inch, the dagger slowly pierced into the wall, gradually being swallowed up. Chen Changsheng held the hilt of the sword and stared at the place where the sword touched the wall. His breathing became more and more rapid and his expression became more and more tense.
His mind was attached to the sword, as if he was walking on a night road without lights, not knowing what he would encounter in front of him, this completely unknown feeling was more anxiety than anticipation.
Finally, the dagger came back with a clear feeling. After the tip penetrated into the wall for about half a foot, it touched some hard object. Chen Changsheng stared at the wall in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he tried again to confirm that the dagger was difficult to penetrate inside again. Slightly surprised, he didn't know what kind of material the things inside were made of, and it was hard to pierce even his own sword. At the same time, he was sure that this was what he was looking for.
He let go of his left hand, raised his arm and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and then held the hilt of the sword again. This time, he no longer tried to go deeper, but started to move on the plane, purely relying on the feel, the short sword slowly While cutting the hard bluestone wall, there was no sound except for the slightly fluttering stone chips.
The short sword cut silently, walked in the bluestone wall, wandered non-stop, and finally returned to the original place, and cut a complete pattern on the wall. Chen Changsheng looked at this pattern and felt familiar, Then I remembered that Zhu Shilin's appearance seemed to be like this.
He drew out his dagger, moved closer to the bluestone wall, poked the sharp sword head into the slightly wider horizontal crack, and carefully began to pull it out, constantly prying.
This is the wall on the right side of Wang Zhice's portrait. With his movements, a whole block of bluestone slowly moves outward at a distance of several hairs until it protrudes visible to the naked eye.
I don't know how long it took, but there was half a palm's distance between the cut bluestone and the bluestone wall. Chen Changsheng retracted the sword into its sheath, held the smooth and neat ends of the bluestone with both hands, and took a deep breath. With one breath, the true essence slowly spread to all parts of the body, transmitting the power to the arms.
There was an extremely low and subtle rubbing sound, and in the soft light of the night pearl, the stone chips flew more quickly, and he slowly took out an extremely irregular bluestone block from the wall.
A hole was cut in the bluestone wall, and a box could be vaguely seen deep inside. This box was inlaid in the stone wall, and it was hard to separate, but the lid of the box should be openable.
In the walls of places like Lingyan Pavilion, there is such a mechanism, and there is a mysterious box hidden. Who did it when it was built? Who can do such tricks
If this scene is seen by others, it will definitely trigger a major earthquake in the Zhou Dynasty, and it may even go back hundreds of years, and some famous families are afraid that they will be wiped out.
Chen Changsheng didn't know who put the box in the Lingyan Pavilion. When the Lingyan Pavilion was built, there were countless craftsmen and officials staring at it day and night. How could that person hide it from the eyes of countless people and finally His Majesty Taizong? Shenmu—he only knew that there was a box he needed in the wall of Lingyan Pavilion.
The box hidden in the wall was quite dark in color, and the outermost cover was easily removed, revealing the real box cover inside. There were many copper wires on the cover, and there were many delicate copper buttons between the wires. , it looks extremely complicated, the middle part is the mechanism to open the box.
Children in Kyoto looked at these copper buttons and copper wires, and they could guess what they were. It was the most popular nine-series ring in Da Zhou, but it was infinitely more complicated, and it seemed to be seventeen sets of rings.
Jiulianhuan, like the labyrinth in Zhushilin, is a game that Wang Zhice used to pass the time and dissipate his energy after studying hard. Although it is just a game, it is very good for training the strength of spiritual consciousness and arithmetic ability, but Jiulianhuan is common. Seventeen sets of chains are very rare, and the difficulty of deciphering them varies greatly.
Without any hesitation, Chen Changsheng stared at those extremely complicated copper wires and began to calculate, his eyes fell on a small copper button from time to time, and then he started to tie the wires, his fingers kept pulling and playing among the copper wires, as if playing a piano, Connect the copper wire and the copper button together in one place.
This process took him a long time, until a long time later, he looked at a blank space in the southwestern corner of the box cover, took a deep breath, left the ring finger of his left hand off the copper wire, and only heard a light click, and it was woven by him. The copper wires began to move by themselves, and the patterns kept unraveling and reorganizing, moving towards the very middle.
This is the process of untying the ring. It will take a long time to know whether it can be untied in the end. It is also possible to find out that the solution is wrong at the end, and then we can only start again.
There is nothing good about it except waiting. Only then did Chen Changsheng notice that there was a lot of sweat on his head, and he raised his arm to wipe it off. Looking at the sweat stains on his sleeves, he couldn't help but startled, smiled wryly and shook his head. He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat off his face.
Looking at those constantly changing patterns, those copper wires and copper buttons, he remained silent.
He didn't know who made this mechanism, Wang Zhice or someone else, just like knowing that there was a box in the bluestone wall, he only knew these existed, but he didn't know why they existed.
Taoist Ji told him these things.
Before coming to the capital, Chen Changsheng had always thought that his master, Taoist Ji, was just an ordinary Taoist, with superb medical skills at most. Now that he has gone through so many things, he naturally knows that his master is definitely not an ordinary person, and he should even have another identity.
The Taoist scrolls and classics in the old temple in Xining are all ancient books before the major compilation. In terms of the richness of the collection, it can even be compared with the Li Palace. How can ordinary people collect so many Taoist treasures
Holding the dagger, he looked at the portraits of former heroes on the wall and shook his head. How could ordinary people know that there are so many secrets hidden in Lingyan Pavilion? Even this short sword is extremely unusual.
It was Taoist Ji who told him that if he wanted to change his fate against the sky, he had to enter Lingyan Pavilion and find the secrets related to it. So from Xining to Kyoto, his goal is to enter Lingyan Pavilion.
His fate is not good, and if he wants to live past twenty years, there are only two ways - to cultivate to the realm of hidden spirits, or to change his fate against the sky. These two methods sound very unreliable, because it is basically impossible, but relatively speaking, the latter is still somewhat feasible, because there have always been legends about changing one's fate against the sky.
How can I change my fate against the sky? First, you need to know what fate is. He looked at the copper chain pattern being unraveled, and thought silently, could it be that his fate was hidden in it
