"Why do you have to get Touko and the others drunk?"!
Qin Feng looked at Miao Liuzhi with some dissatisfaction and said: "Old Miao, these brothers are all my relatives, and I can talk about big things in front of them..."
As early as when they were drinking, Qin Feng could tell that Miao Liuzhi deliberately got his brothers drunk. With this old fox's method, Li Tianyuan and the others still thought about Miao Liuzhi after they drank too much.
"Master Qin, it's not that I can't trust them, it's that they are too young."
Miao Liuzhi shook his head and said: "If they have your character, Mr. Qin, then of course they can say anything, but their temperament is still a bit low. The best way is to let them know less."
"Okay, Lao Miao, stop being so mysterious. What is going on?"
Qin Feng frowned when he heard this. Although he knew that Miao Liuzhi was right, Qin Feng still felt a little uncomfortable when he talked about Li Tianyuan and others in front of him.
"Master Qin, among the eight sects outside the Jianghu, which one do you think has been lost to this day?" Miao Liuzhi did not say the main topic, but asked Qin Feng in a sophisticated way.
"Lao Miao, what do you mean?"
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said: "The Robbery Sect, the Thousand Sects, the Prostitute Sect and the Killers, these four sects must exist, and the witch sects are also heard in the Northeast, but they are all witches and witches who dance with great gods, and they are not great.
.
As for the Gu sect, it is deeply rooted in the two provinces of Yunchuan and Chuan, and the inheritance must have never been broken. The illusion school created by the woman in red in the Eastern Han Dynasty is now mostly acrobatic troupes traveling around the world, so the inheritance has been continued."
Speaking of this, Qin Feng frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then continued: "To say that the most likely to be lost, perhaps it is the agency...
Although today's carpenters all regard Lu Ban as their ancestor, all they have learned are the skills of making furniture. Lao Miao, you also know that the ancestor of the government office is actually Zu Chongzhi from the Southern and Northern Dynasties..."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Miao Liuzhi raised his eyebrows with a look of surprise on his face. He had never heard of the saying that Zu Chongzhi was the founder of the Guanmen Gate. Because in his time, all the craftsmen in the world regarded Lu Ban as his
Grandpa's.
"Throughout the dynasties, the government has killed the most people at the gate. In the era you lived in, the skill of the gate might have been lost."
What Qin Feng said are all the secrets of the outer eight sects. Although Miao Liuzhi is a very senior member of the thieves sect, but the sects are different, he does not know the things in other sects.
"Old Miao, have you been to the tomb?" Qin Feng suddenly asked something irrelevant.
"Master Qin, this... this tomb robbing can be considered a branch of the robbing sect.
Miao Liuzhi's face turned red and he ignored other things. As a thief, how could he not think of the wealth in the tombs when he was in a tight situation?
In the 1930s and 1940s, Miao Liuzhi went to Beijing to assassinate Yanzi Li San. A large part of his daily expenses, in addition to the usual plundering, came from the nearby imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty.
"Old Miao, I'm not a policeman, what's wrong with admitting it?"
Seeing Miao Liuzhi's face, Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud. This old guy also knew that the tomb robbers had no place in the world.
You must know that the ancients have always followed the teaching that death is the most important thing and death is the most important thing.
In ancient times, tomb robbers were even more shameful than thieves and prostitutes. Miao Liuzhi, who always claimed to be the direct descendant of the robbing family, was naturally embarrassed to admit those things.
"Master Qin, why are you asking this?" Miao Liuzhi blushed at Qin Feng's smile, but he became more and more curious.
Qin Feng smiled but did not answer and continued to ask: "Old Miao, since you have been to the tomb, do you know which age of tomb is the most difficult to rob?"
"The tombs of the Sui and Tang Dynasties are the most difficult to rob, as there are many mechanisms inside..." Miao Liuzhi thought for a moment and said, "Relatively speaking, the Han tombs before that were actually easier to rob."
"Yes, although Han tombs also have mechanisms, they are crudely made and can be easily broken."
Qin Feng nodded when he heard this. Most of the tombs in the Han Dynasty and the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties were built against the mountains. At most, some dragon-breaking stones were used to stop tomb robbers, but small mechanisms were very rare.
"Lao Miao, Zu Chongzhi is a genius. In addition to his many achievements in mathematics, astronomy, geology, and geography, his most exquisite skill is actually the mechanism..."
Most of the world's understanding of Zu Chongzhi is summed up by the phrase "mathematician", just like Zu Chongzhi was the first person to accurately measure pi to seven digits. This achievement had a great impact on the world.
But in fact, many people don't know that Zu Chongzhi is also a mechanical master.
Zu Chongzhi once made a car with machinery in the car and a wooden man on the car. Before driving the car, he pointed the wooden man's hand to the south. No matter how the car turned, the wooden man's hand always pointed south.
This kind of car, called the compass car, is very famous in history.
It is said that in ancient times, when the Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou, he used a compass to determine the direction. Later, people imitated it many times, but they were all lost. To this day, modern people still cannot decipher the principle of the compass. The ancestor is Xiao Daocheng, Emperor Gao of Qi.
When he was an official, he not only made a compass but also other things such as a water mill and a thousand-mile boat. He also conducted in-depth research on various machines.
But what the world doesn't know is that Zu Chongzhi was also responsible for building the Tai'an Mausoleum, the mausoleum of Qi Gaodi Emperor Xiao Daocheng, and all the mechanisms and tools in the tomb were in his hands.
During the construction of the mausoleum, Zu Chongzhi brought out a large number of disciples. It was these people who later formed the government organization, so they all regarded Zu Chong as the Patriarch.
However, due to the particularity of the craftsmanship, the government agencies have been the most valued but most jealous by emperors throughout the past dynasties. Almost every time a dynasty changes, the government agencies will be cleaned.
Everyone can guess the reason, that is, all the institutions in the emperor's tombs are the work of people inside the institutions.
In order to prevent the secret from leaking out, the craftsmen who built the tomb may be spared, but those who participated in the construction of the tomb through the agency gate will undoubtedly die.
With the change of dynasties, there were fewer and fewer people in the government gate, and the inheritance was almost cut off several times. It was not until Zhang Sanfeng integrated the eight outer gates in the early Ming Dynasty that the government gate became slightly more prosperous.
But after Zhang Sanfeng left, the Outer Eight Gates fell apart again. Many incompetent emperors emerged in the Ming Dynasty, and the fate of this gate was once again controlled by them.
Throughout the dynasties from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the members of the Agency Gate were kept in captivity by the royal family, making it difficult for outsiders to contact them. Dozens of imperial mausoleums were built, and countless heads were lost. The descendants of the Agency Gate have completely disappeared from the world.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, news about the government gate was no longer heard in the world, so even Miao Liuzhi didn't know much about the government gate and thought Lu Ban was his ancestor.
Qin Feng was also born in the main sect of the Eight Outer Sects, and he only knew so much about these things. As far as he knew, if there is anyone in the Outer Eight Sects who has lost their inheritance, it must be the Organization Sect.
"Lao Miao, have you met someone from the agency gate? Why are you asking about these things?"
After Qin Feng and Miao Liuzhi told some of the origins of the Agency Gate, Qin Feng looked at him with some doubts. As far as Qin Feng knew, even Master Zai had never come into contact with anyone in the Agency Gate. Could it be that Miao Liuzhi had touched him?
?
"Master Qin, if I don't go out all day, how can I see the people behind the agency door?" Miao Liuzhi shook his head and said, "But recently I saw the craftsmanship behind the agency door. Old man, I feel ashamed.
"
"The craftsmanship of the machine door?" Qin Feng was startled when he heard this, and said: "Old Miao, don't think about it if you don't have money to spend. Did you go to rob the tomb?"
The craftsmanship of organ doors is most common in the tombs of emperors, so Qin Feng reacted like this.
"Grave robbery? I can't even dig the soil now. Whose tomb should I rob?"
Miao Liuzhi shook his head repeatedly. After listening to the snoring in the rooms on the left and right, he lowered his voice and said, "Master Qin, in this courtyard, there is a secret room created by the man behind the organic door!"
"What?" Qin Feng, who was originally sitting on the chair, suddenly stood up with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
It was originally a common thing for wealthy families to build secret rooms to store treasures.
Even some wealthy people in the countryside would build mezzanines in their walls. When land was divided among the wealthy, gold bars would often be found in the walls of those landlords' houses.
But it is a bit shocking to be able to use the people in the imperial government's gates to build secret rooms. You must know that although the people in the government gates have a low status, they are not something that ordinary people can control.
Qin Feng might not find it strange that there is a secret room with an organic door in the Forbidden City not far next door, but there is such a secret room in this house, which makes Qin Feng feel surprised.
"Lao Miao, are you admitting your mistake?"
Qin Feng took a deep breath and said: "Some skilled craftsmen can also make some mechanism pins. It is not necessarily the work of the people in the mechanism door."
"Master Qin, if it were a secret room built by ordinary people, I would have entered it long ago."
Miao Liuzhi shook his head and said: "Although I have found the door to this tomb, I can't open the lock. Who else can make the old man helpless except the person in the door?"
As he spoke, Miao Liuzhi opened his palms. Under the light, Qin Feng discovered that Miao Liuzhi's palms and ten finger pads were densely covered with various marks.
If you look carefully, you can see that there are signs of skin and flesh sinking in. There are strips, rings, triangles, and U shapes, and there are even some deep pits. Judging from the depth, they should be sunk into the bones.
The color of all the marks on the palms is almost the same as the flesh color, but the two hands are different. The edges are smooth and the distribution is regular. It seems that they were printed intentionally.
"Master Qin, the first thing you need to learn to steal a door is to pick the lock. This is the price I paid for learning to pick the lock!"
Miao Liuzhi looked at his hands, with a wry smile on his face, and said: "Old Miao, I used to think that there is no lock in the world that I can't open, but this time I admit defeat..."
