Chapter 382: When Yitian comes out, who can compete with him? (7)
"Master, can this puzzle machine box be opened?" He Qing asked impatiently. (Baidu search "Since it is controlled by the machine, it can definitely be opened!" Mr. Zheng nodded solemnly and replied, "It's just that there are difficulties.
Yi, this box of yours looks very simple, it’s not easy to open it.”
"It'll be great if it can be opened." He Qing said with a smile, "With your guidance, master, I believe it won't take long to open it."
Mr. Zheng shook his head and said seriously: "Don't say it so early. I haven't got the slightest clue yet."
He Qing said: "Don't worry, master, just take your time and read, I'm waiting for your answer."
Mr. Zheng nodded vigorously and said: "Well, I'll try my best. This box is really unusual. Although I have seen similar mechanism boxes before, they are all made of wood, and the arrangement of the puzzle blocks on it is not that complicated. Jiugong
The Bagua Diagram is extremely profound. Even if there is a slight difference between the two mechanism puzzle formations, if one is solved, the other one needs to re-find the diagram and break the puzzle again."
As he spoke, he took out a pocket-sized magnifying glass from his pocket and examined the iron box in detail, mainly looking at the layout of the squares on the surface of the box.
And He Qing stood quietly aside, paying full attention to the changes in Mr. Zheng's expression.
The outside of the box had been cleaned by He Qing a long time ago, and it was completely cleaned. Apart from the structure and the layout of the puzzle blocks, Mr. Zheng naturally could not see anything. He would not pay attention to other situations. All he had to consider was
How to decipher the Nine Palaces and Bagua array in front of me, and then open the box smoothly.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I heard Mr. Zheng exhale softly, and then I saw him put away the magnifying glass and raised his head to look at He Qing.
"How is it?" He Qing asked quickly. "Master, do you see any clues?"
Mr. Zheng nodded and replied: "I see something. This layout is indeed very complicated! Xiao He, have you tried it before?"
"I have tried several times." He Qing replied truthfully, "I took an 'eye' according to the method you provided and then moved it, but no matter how I moved it or which square I chose to make the eye, it didn't work. Box
There is no sign of it opening up."
Mr. Zheng shook his head and said: "That's not how it is done. The picture eye is a given and cannot be chosen by oneself. And you are not saying to choose one picture eye. If I guessed correctly, there are two picture eyes on this mechanism box.
.”
"Two picture eyes?!" He Qing said in shock, "Then you mean to move the two established picture eyes at the same time so that they reach a certain position?"
"Yes, that's what it is." Mr. Zheng nodded in response.
"That's really complicated!" He Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly. This is really a headache. Now the box mechanism system contains two "eyes", which is much more complicated than ordinary ones. It must be very troublesome to do.
.
And He Qing knew it well. He could only crack the mechanism through jigsaw puzzles, but could not force it open with cutting machines and other tools, because Mr. Zheng had reminded him before that mysterious mechanism boxes like this usually have their own
It will destroy the device. If you come too hard, it will "self-destruct" for you, preventing you from getting the things inside intact. Therefore, He Qing will never take this risk. After all, the things hidden inside are
A rare treasure. Priceless.
"Master, can you find the two picture eyes and open the box?" He Qing then asked again.
Mr. Zheng said: "I just got a clue, but I can give it a try."
He obviously didn't have much confidence, but it was better to try than not to try.
"Then try it quickly." He Qing said hurriedly. Theory must be put into practice. Only practice can produce true knowledge. Maybe you can just try it a few more times.
"Well, let me take a look." Mr. Zheng nodded and agreed, and then his hands began to carefully explore the "squares" on the surface of the box.
After searching thoughtfully for a while, he seemed to have some understanding, and a faint smile appeared on his face, which was a sign of joy.
"Xiao He, do you know why there are two pictures on the puzzle box?" Mr. Zheng suddenly asked.
"I'm not sure. Master, please give me some advice." He Qing said very humbly. He really had no experience in studying the Nine Palaces Bagua and couldn't come up with any ideas.
Mr. Zheng replied calmly: "Because this kind of thing was mostly used by the royal family in ancient times and could not be seen by ordinary people. Let's take a look. Why does it have two eyes just mentioned? It's actually very strange.
Simple, it should coincide with the meaning of facing south and facing north."
"Facing south and facing north?" He Qing asked doubtfully. He seemed to have vaguely thought of something, but he still didn't quite understand.
"Yes, it implies that meaning. This is the key to the Nine Palaces Bagua." Mr. Zheng said solemnly, "Xiao He, the two picture eyes are in these two positions."
As he spoke, he held down two squares, holding one with one hand, ready to move.
"Why these two?" He Qing asked in surprise.
Mr. Zheng said: "This is based on the Nine Palaces Bagua Diagram. This is Lijiugong, and this is Kanyi Palace. Lijiugong and Kanyi Palace mean facing south and facing north, so these two positions are moved.
Just put the square on it.”
"Really?" He Qing cheered up and watched. He seemed to have understood something. He knew that the position was fixed, and what changed were the puzzle blocks at the position, so it would be okay no matter how the blocks above were disrupted.
Li Jiugong and Kan Jiugong are still there, their positions remain unchanged, and the eyes of the picture remain unchanged.
"Yes." Mr. Zheng nodded, "This is the first step."
He moved the cubes with both hands, carefully and very steadily.
"Now that I have taken the first step, there are still eighty-one steps to follow. You must not make a mistake every step." Mr. Zheng explained. It seemed that he was confident at this moment, and he must be able to complete the remaining eighty steps easily.
He Qing waited and saw, feeling very excited in his heart.
Exciting times may be coming soon!
"Master, please help me walk the remaining eighty steps." He Qing requested.
At this point, he had no choice but to turn to Mr. Zheng for help. If he did not use Mr. Zheng's hands and let him do it by himself, he would have to do a deep study of the Nine Palaces Bagua. In the end, he may not be able to complete the eighty-year journey accurately.
step.
According to what Mr. Zheng said, if you make a wrong step, you will make a complete mistake and you have to start over. And there are so many eighty-one steps in such a large layout. If you try every route, you may vomit blood.
"I'll give it a try." Mr. Zheng agreed.
Then he pressed the two squares with both hands and moved slowly, concentrating on the puzzle.
He Qing, who was standing aside and watching the scene intently, almost held his breath at this moment. He was afraid that if he took a breath loudly, he would disturb Mr. Zheng and disrupt his train of thought.
About seven or eight minutes later, suddenly, there was a crisp "click" sound, as if something popped out of the box.
"Xiao He, it's opened!" Mr. Zheng exclaimed.
"Opened?!" He Qing was also startled. He quickly took a closer look, and sure enough, two slender iron pieces popped out from the left and right ends of the box, like keys.
"Okay." After the success, Mr. Zheng put away his hands and left the original position. He asked He Qing to come closer and take a closer look.
He Qing immediately walked over and inspected the situation from where Mr. Zheng was standing just now. The lid of the iron box was indeed opened, and he saw that the thick shell was loose. It could be removed with a simple lift.
"Master, it's really possible! I have to rely more on you this time!" Upon seeing this, He Qing said with surprise and joy.
"Haha, it's a coincidence. Although the puzzle box this time is more complicated, we still found the eye. It will be relatively simple to find out the rules." Mr. Zheng said with a smile.
Seeing He Qing so happy, he was naturally very happy.
"Xiao He, where did this thing come from? What's in it?" Mr. Zheng asked a few questions casually.
He Qing replied seriously: "Master, to tell you the truth, this box does not belong to me, but to an old friend of mine. He doesn't know what it contains. It is said that it was passed down to him by his father. He was very young."
He was separated from his parents when he was young and is now on the way to find his biological parents. I think this box is related to his parents’ life experience. This may be other people’s privacy, so we better not look at it and open it now.
Just leave the things to him."
"That's right!" Mr. Zheng nodded solemnly in agreement, "Xiao He, you are right, don't look into other people's private affairs at home."
"Well, now that I have opened it for him, he will definitely be very happy. I hope this will help him find his biological parents." He Qing responded happily.
He was afraid that he would not be able to explain the contents after opening the box, so he made up a short story. Of course, that was all he could tell, and he would not tell the whole story, saying that the things were taken out of Cao Cao's tomb.
Unless you have to tell the truth like that, it would be better if you don't tell the truth. Only he and Lin Haitao know this secret.
Mr. Zheng has always believed in He Qing, so he had no doubts at all.
Later, He Qing hid the box and waited until the right time to open it and view the treasure inside.
After the matter was settled, He Qing took Mr. Zheng to the restaurant for lunch, and of course he didn't forget to call Suning and Du Hai.
Suning and the others still knew nothing about the discovery of Cao Cao's tomb because He Qing did not tell them about it and did not take them to visit the tomb in the mountain in the morning.
"He Qing, where is Haitao? Why don't you see Haitao coming to dinner?" Suning asked at the dinner table.
He Qing said with a smile: "He has something to do and will be back soon. Miss Su, something big is going to happen here soon."
"What big deal?" Suning asked in surprise, having no idea what He Qing was referring to.
He Qing said seriously: "You will know when the time comes."
He whetted the appetite of Suning and others, but his words were not false. Now the real Gaoling of Cao Cao is about to be revealed. How could such a big event not cause a sensation here? It will definitely set off another climax of cultural relic archeology.
Seeing that He Qing refused to tell them his promise, Suning didn't ask any more questions and was filled with curiosity.
Not long after finishing the meal, Mr. Zheng suddenly received a call from Master Pan, as if there was something urgent.
"Xiao He, Master Pan just called me. He asked me to come over for something important."
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Zheng said to He Qing.
He Qing said hurriedly: "I'll go there with you."
Mr. Zheng said: "You don't need to go. We are not going to the mountains, but to another place to meet some old friends who have just come all the way here. We will come together to find you then."
"Oh, okay then." He Qing nodded.
Although Mr. Zheng did not clearly say who came, He Qing imagined that the sudden group of people were probably personnel from the superior cultural relics department. Mr. Zheng was highly respected in this industry, and his son was an expert in cultural relic appraisal at the Palace Museum. He must have
I got to know many leaders of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.
At that moment, He Qing sent Mr. Zheng out and called a taxi to take him there.
After bidding farewell to Mr. Zheng, He Qing hurried back to his guest room and closed the doors and windows.
After closing the doors and windows, He Qing carefully took out the iron box and placed it on the table, ready to open it.
At this moment, He Qing's heart beat faster and he was so excited that he could finally see the national treasure.
After opening the lid of the box, He Qing realized that there was another cover. The cover and the outer layer were cleverly designed. It was a system, just like the circuit boards used in today's machines, which were very complex.
The mechanism is open and the inner cover can be opened easily.
So after a while, it was completely opened, and He Qing clearly saw what was hidden in the box.
It was clearly visible that there was a sword, a jade pendant, probably a waist pendant, and several thin pieces of paper and silk.
"sword!"
Upon seeing him, He Qing was ecstatic.
Because this is the sword he is looking for!
Cao Cao's sword - Yitian Sword!
Long before he came to He, Nan'an and Yang to hunt for treasures, he had longed for this "peerless sword", but at that time it was just an idea of his. When he thought about it, he thought it was impossible, let alone the history.
If there is no such sword, even if it exists, it has been lost, or it is buried somewhere and is difficult to find.
But who knew that due to some combination of circumstances, he would eventually come across the sword, and he managed to get it.
Although he was still unsure whether this sword was the legendary "Eternal Sword", he was certain that it was Cao Cao's sword. This sword never left his side, so you can imagine how much he cherished it.
At that moment, He Qing picked up the sword very excitedly. The sword was not heavy in his hand.
The scabbard looks complete and has exquisite patterns on it.
If he hadn't taken it out from an ancient tomb, he wouldn't have believed it was an unearthed cultural relic, because it didn't have any earthy color or rust at all.
It seems that this box is not as simple as a puzzle box. It has a special function and can be anti-corrosion and so on.
"Canglanglang——"
Suddenly, He Qing drew his sword out of its sheath.
The moment he pulled out the sword, his eyes suddenly lit up.
