Chapter 158 The golden key that opens the door to collection (Part 2)
The moment He Qing opened the Four Seasons Lian Kong Ming Lock, the audience burst into warm applause that lasted for a long time.
However, after opening the Kongming Lock, He Qing did not open the iron box. At this moment, he did not know what was inside, but in fact, the ancestor had made it very clear just now that the box was a treasure and should be very precious.
At that moment, He Qing's expression was very calm, without the slightest hint of pride, as if it was natural for him to be able to open the very complicated Kong Ming Lock, and it was not worth being proud of. In fact, this was indeed the case. He had just started
That lock absorbed the extraordinary skills accumulated by the predecessors. From the making of the lock to its opening, these were all very familiar to him and he could easily pick them up at his fingertips.
When thunderous applause erupted from the crowd, He Qing turned around to face everyone, nodding his head from time to time to express his gratitude, appearing particularly humble and respectful.
"Xiao He, you set a record!" After the applause subsided, the Patriarch shouted to He Qing with a smile on his face, "Look!"
As he spoke, he raised the timer that had been pressed, showed the result to everyone, and said: "One minute and forty-eight seconds! It's not even two minutes!"
After saying that, there was an exclamation of exclamation from the audience, mixed with various kinds of admiration.
Just listen to the ancestor continue to say: "Although this Kongming Lock is not the most complicated, its difficulty should not be underestimated. Although many people can open it, it is very rare to be able to open it in such a short time! According to
The fastest person I know opened it after four minutes, twice as long as Xiao He! It’s amazing!”
"Yes, it's amazing!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
Immediately, everyone praised, and their eyes were fixed on He Qing's body. Their eyes were all-encompassing, some were surprised, some envied, and some admired.
Many people got to know the young man in front of them again, and they were quite impressed. After all, they didn't know much about He Qing before, or they had some doubts about his talents, but at this moment, everything was on the line.
In front of you, there is no room for doubt.
"Xiao He, okay, you win!" the Patriarch said happily, "I am very happy that our 'Shenyan Sect' can have such a smart young disciple like you! Keep up the good work, the future is limitless!"
"Grandpa Grandpa, you are very grateful. I just happen to know a little bit more about Bagua Suo." He Qing said humbly, "I took advantage of everyone."
He could only explain it this way. If he had never come into contact with Kong Ming Lock before, then the word "smart" for him to unlock Kong Ming Lock so quickly was not enough to describe him. He could definitely be called a "geek", and he didn't want to
If you are overestimated by others, as the saying goes, "The first bird will be struck first", it is better to keep a low profile until you have absolute strength.
"Xiao He, you are too modest." The Patriarch shook his head and said, "Even if you have been studying the Bagua Lock, it is not that easy to successfully open this lock. After all, there are too many types of Bagua Locks, and different craftsmen make them.
Locks are all different. There are definitely differences in structural principles and difficulty. One key can only open one lock. There is no such thing as a 'master key'. But you opened it so smoothly. What a great job!
"
"Thank you!" He Qing was so praised by his master, and He Qing had thousands of words to express his gratitude. It would be hypocritical if he behaved modestly again.
The Patriarch said: "Since you won this little competition, the reward is yours. Except for the Kong Ming Lock and the treasures in the iron box, everything belongs to you."
As soon as these words came out, there was another exclamation among the crowd.
Except for the Patriarch and a few seniors, probably everyone is like He Qing. No one knows what the mysterious treasure in the iron box is, so they all want to find out.
When he heard that his ancestor said that he would give him the treasure in the iron box and the Kong Ming Lock, He Qing couldn't help but feel excited.
"Xiao He, open it yourself and see what's inside." When He Qing was excited, the Patriarch greeted him with a smile.
"Yeah, okay." He Qing responded happily.
Then he turned around and carefully opened the iron box on the table.
"Oh?!" When the contents of the box suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, He Qing's face changed slightly, and he was very surprised. He saw that what was inside was not an antique, but a relatively large key.
.
Yes, it was a key, but it was so golden that it was obviously a golden key!
In fact, He Qing had vaguely guessed a long time ago that the things in the iron box were not antiques, otherwise why would they not have emitted the "Precious Light"? Logically speaking, the collection value of the things given by the ancestor should be very high.
He Qing was puzzled as to why the Patriarch gave a special golden key as a reward. Did it have any special meaning, or was it just to show that the key and the lock matched, and there was no other profound meaning.
Of course, He Qing knew very well that it was impossible to open the Kong Ming Lock with the key in front of him. There was no definite key to opening the Kong Ming Lock. It was a miniature mechanism, and a breakthrough had to be found.
The suitcase was relatively deep, so after opening it, people standing three meters away stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks to see what big treasure was inside. Everyone was eagerly looking forward to it, and couldn't wait to know what the ancestor had done.
What is the grand prize prepared for this time?
"Xiao He, pick up that thing and show it to everyone." Grandmaster ordered.
"Yes." He Qing responded quickly, then he reached out and picked up the golden key, turned around and held it up to show it to everyone, saying, "It's a golden key!"
"Golden Key!!"
When they saw the key clearly, everyone exclaimed in unison, as if the golden key, which was ordinary compared to treasures, was some kind of treasure in their eyes. This made He Qing even more puzzled.
"Xiao He, congratulations!" An elderly man in the crowd congratulated loudly, "The golden key is extremely precious, you are so lucky!"
"Thank you!" He Qing nodded towards the old man. However, he still didn't know where the big key in his hand was.
"Xiao He, please go down." I heard the ancestor say later, "We will continue to hold activities. After the activities are over, you can stay. I have something to tell you."
"Yes, I understand." He Qing agreed, then took the golden key and stepped back.
"Brother Qing, you are so awesome!" When He Qing returned to his original position, Lin Haitao gave a thumbs up and praised, "Do you know what this key is for?!"
"I don't know." He Qing shook his head. He was about to ask Lin Haitao and others about the situation, so he asked, "Haitao, what is the origin of this key?"
Lin Haitao replied with a beaming expression: "Who doesn't want to own this key?! This is the key to open the collection door of the ancestor's home, and it is the only pass to enter his collection! If my guess is correct, then
The Grandmaster wants to find a trustworthy junior to help him manage this huge collection room. As long as you have this golden key with a special meaning, you can come to their house at any time and walk into this door with a password lock.
stock room!"
"Oh, really?!" Hearing Lin Haitao's explanation, He Qing couldn't help but exhale. He was immediately pleasantly surprised. This was definitely a good thing. If he could freely enter and exit this rich collection, it would undoubtedly be a great success.
It is a great honor. The key is to appreciate various collections and increase your knowledge.
"Yes!" Lin Haitao nodded heavily, "You have just joined our 'Shenyan Sect', so you may not understand many things yet. I only know that one of the people who used to manage the collection room for the ancestor was relatively young.
We are all very envious of him, but recently he has gone nowhere and we haven’t seen him. Maybe he has left, so the Patriarch wants to find someone to replace him. The Patriarch hid the golden key in Bagua
In the locked iron box, whoever can open the Bagua lock within the specified time will win the golden key. Now you have got it, it is worth celebrating! Brother Qing, I admire you so much, I thought it was just that lock
It’s so difficult that we young people can’t open it, at least it’s impossible to unlock it perfectly within ten minutes. I think Grandmaster himself is surprised that you can open that lock, right?!”
He Qing laughed and said: "It's purely by chance. I can only say that I am very lucky!"
"Don't be humble in front of me!" Lin Haitao shook his head and said, "Don't I know you well? But Brother Qing, have you really studied Bagua Lock before?!"
He Qing nodded and replied: "Yes, I have done some research. It is not difficult to open that kind of lock. It is easy to unlock it if you find the right pattern. To be honest, there is more than one way to open that lock.
, there are several solutions, it’s almost the same as doing math problems, but the steps are different from simple and complex.”
"No way?!" Lin Haitao opened his eyes wide and said as if he couldn't believe his ears, "Then you have to demonstrate it to me again when you get back. I can play the Rubik's Cube. Although it's just so-so, it's better than the Kong Ming Lock or something like that.
Much more familiar! Now I am particularly interested in Kong Mingsuo. I feel that that kind of thing condenses a lot of wisdom from the ancients and is worth studying."
He Qing nodded and replied: "No problem, I will make it for you when I get back."
After the two chatted for a while, they continued to participate in the activity, but they did not play games anymore. The ancestor just showed everyone the things he had collected not long ago, which was regarded as teaching everyone a lesson. During this period, He Qing pricked up his ears.
Listening carefully, he remembered what he didn't understand and was ready to go back online or ask Mr. Zheng and others to make up for it.
At about ten o'clock, the activity ended. He Qing and the others walked out of the collection room and said goodbye to the ancestor and Mr. Zheng one after another. However, He Qing and the others stayed because the ancestor just said that his name was He.
Qing stayed, he had something to say to him.
"Xiao He, come with me!" At this moment, the Patriarch waved to He Qing, indicating that he could talk to him.
