"Old Miao, your skills in stealing doors and unlocking doors went astray from the beginning."!
Looking at Miao Liuzhi's unusual hands, Qin Feng shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, a key is a lock, but there are more than tens of millions of locks in the world. You have used this method, and these hands are not useless.
, it’s already considered lucky…”
Qin Feng knew that no matter whether ancient locksmiths made locks or modern craftsmanship, they would make a corresponding key. Except for this key, it could not be opened with other keys.
Especially those old locks, famous locks, and strange locks made in the early years by craftsmen who are experts in stealing doors and mechanical doors, and are used to prevent theft in tombs and treasures. They are even more complicated in structure and full of information.
If you want to open a lock without the original key, it actually comes from door theft, which is a kind of theft technique. The real theft technique is to steal without leaving a trace. That is to say, after you steal other people's things, others can't detect it themselves.
.
But the hard work required cannot be accomplished in a day.
Just like when Miao Liuzhi was very young, Jiang Yishou had various key molds imprinted on his hand in order to firmly grasp the lock-picking tool in his hand and maintain a tight fit, even to the point of feeling it with his bones.
.
"Master Qin, this has been passed down from generation to generation in the thieves' clan. Is there any better way?"
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Miao Liuzhi couldn't help but be stunned. In order to practice this lock-picking skill, he had to endure a lot of hardships since he was a child.
It was precisely because he expended so much energy on this that he failed to practice as advanced a martial art as his senior brother Yanzi Li San. However, when it came to lockpicking skills, Miao Liuzhi was confident that no one in the world could match him.
So after hearing Qin Feng's words, Miao Liuzhi felt a little unconvinced. He knew that one of the eight outer gates was also proficient in unlocking, but after all, it was derived from the burglary gate. There was no strong or weak one between the two.
"Old Miao, you still need your heart to open the lock in your heart."
Seeing the dissatisfied look on Miao Liuzhi's face, Qin Feng shook his head slightly and said: "The highest level of unlocking is to be able to focus your eyes and your heart, and concentrate your mind..."
"The eyes are clear and the heart is clear, and the mind is focused?"
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Miao Liuzhi was stunned. He had been a thief all his life and had opened locks all his life. He had never thought that opening a lock could have such an artistic conception.
"That's right!"
Qin Feng nodded and continued to explain: "When opening a lock, you must unite your eyes, hands, and heart, and put all your physical and mental potential into the lock in front of you. You must not treat it as a cold dead object.
But treat it with a kind of life.
You have to regard the lock as a thinking creature, and then communicate with it attentively and get its approval, then no matter how complicated the lock is, you can easily open it in your hand..."
Qin Feng's words were not taught to him by Zai, but from the jade pendant inheritance, because even Master Zai himself had never come into contact with anyone in the agency.
"Dead things are still dead things. How can we treat them as living things?"
Miao Liuzhi thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "Master Qin, what you said are just theoretical things. Old man, I don't believe in hard work. Are you better at unlocking than me?"
Miao Liuzhi admitted that he could not open some of the locks set by people inside the agency door, but Qin Feng's ability to express this theory did not mean that he had the skills. Miao Liuzhi always believed in the principle of practicing hard to achieve real skills.
"Old Miao, don't believe me?"
Qin Feng glanced around and found a palm-sized copper lock hanging on the door inside the curtain. He walked over and took it over and said, "You open it first. This lock shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
"Master Qin, if I can't open this lock, then my whole life will be in vain."
There was a look of pride on Miao Liuzhi's face. Not to mention the lock, even when he was imprisoned in prison, those iron gates were useless to him. It was just that the society was relatively chaotic in those decades, so Miao Liuzhi stayed in the prison.
He also acted wisely to protect himself.
As he spoke, Miao Liuzhi took off a gold ring on his left hand. The gold was soft. When he broke it with his hand, he found that the ring had straightened out and was about five or six centimeters long.
Holding the copper lock in his left hand, Miao Liuzhi put the ring into the keyhole with his right hand. He closed his eyes slightly and moved his right hand slightly back and forth.
Suddenly, Miao Liuzhi's eyes suddenly opened, and the hand holding the ring stirred slightly. He heard a crisp click, and the copper lock popped open.
"Master Qin, is this craft still worthy of the eyes of the Dharma?"
Miao Liuzhi slowly put the gold ring back on the little finger of his left hand, but his eyes were fixed on Qin Feng, obviously still dissatisfied with what Qin Feng said just now.
"It took thirty-eight seconds. In today's world, there are only a handful of people with your abilities."
Qin Feng looked calm and ignored Miao Liuzhi's provocation. It was indeed not an easy task to open such an old copper lock produced in the 1980s in such a short period of time.
"Master Qin, just talk and don't practice fake moves."
Although Miao Liuzhi had long passed the age of knowing destiny and had long turned away from worldly affairs, but the craftsmanship that had made him proud all his life was so underestimated by Qin Feng, Miao Liuzhi still became determined to win.
"Okay, then I'll practice it and show it to you."
Qin Feng didn't have the habit of wearing it. He glanced at the table and found a toothpick for eating fried escargots. He stretched out his right thumb and index finger and pinched it between his two fingers.
"Master Qin, this is what you use?"
Seeing Qin Feng's actions, Miao Liuzhi raised his eyebrows. He had opened the lock just now and knew that the lock cylinder inside was a bit hard. It would be very difficult to use a toothpick to move the steel balls inside.
"Old Miao, keep an eye on it."
Qin Feng didn't say anything more. He also took the lock with his left hand and closed his eyes completely. However, the toothpick held in his right hand was inserted into the keyhole without fail.
The movements of Qin Feng's right hand were very slow, but as long as the toothpick could be, even if it were three to five seconds slower, it would be all filled in.
Just when the toothpick was more than halfway in, Qin Feng's right hand suddenly trembled slightly, the "click" sound sounded again, and the copper lock automatically popped out and had been opened by Qin Feng.
"This...how is this possible?"
Seeing this scene happening in front of him, Miao Liuzhi's eyes suddenly widened. He knew that Qin Feng might be able to open the lock, but he never expected that Qin Feng's speed was so fast. He couldn't even open it in ten seconds.
Not used.
"Isn't this open? Is there anything impossible?"
Qin Feng threw the lock on the table and said, "Old Miao, there are a total of forty-eight steel balls in this, divided into six slots. Am I right?"
"No...that's right..." Miao Liuzhi nodded subconsciously, and then asked: "But...but Mr. Qin, how did you do it?"
"I can't explain it clearly. It's the heart lock I just mentioned..."
Hearing Miao Liuzhi's question, Qin Feng smiled bitterly. The skill of unlocking was completely inherited from the Outer Eight Sects, so he understood it naturally. However, Qin Feng couldn't explain in words how to do it.
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Miao Liuzhi's expression changed under the light. After a long time, he said: "I understand, Mr. Qin, it is easy to open the lock on the hand, but it is difficult to open the lock on the heart."
"you understood?"
Qin Feng had a strange look on his face. Although he had mastered the heart lock technique, to be honest, he was a little confused and the theory was unclear.
"I understand, but I can't do it."
Miao Liuzhi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "If I had been young, I might have mastered this skill, but now, it has become a habit to open locks with my hands..."
"Lao Miao, you have been a thief all your life, haven't you been enough?"
Qin Feng waved his hand and said: "These weird and obscene skills are just tricks. If you want to make money now, you still have to follow other ways. It's okay if you don't learn these things."
"What Mr. Qin is saying is that if it weren't for you, I would have never dreamed that we would be able to come to someone's door and open the door openly."
Miao Liuzhi laughed when he heard this. Since it is still an exclusive operation, the business of the locksmith company is very good now.
Yu Honghu and his several apprentices basically opened the door at six o'clock and could not close it at twelve o'clock at night. Those fools who were drunk and lost their keys often called them at three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, asking for door-to-door service.
According to Miao Liuzhi, although he no longer wants to be a thief, there is no harm in being a profiteer. For someone like this who calls in the middle of the night to unlock the door, Yu Honghu's starting price is only 500 yuan, and sometimes he can open seven or eight in a night.
Lock.
Add in the money from opening locks and selling accessories during the day. Even though this business is very inconspicuous, the daily income is at least 6,000 or 7,000 yuan. During the holidays, it can sometimes reach 10,000 to 20,000 yuan.
There are only four or five people in the locksmith company. Even if Qin Feng's shares are removed, they can earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month, which is higher than the previous income from Panjiayuan.
"Okay, Lao Miao, your appetite has almost whetted my appetite. Can you tell me where the secret room is?"
Hearing that Miao Liuzhi brought the topic to the locksmith company again, Qin Feng interrupted him. The old man said at the beginning that there was a secret room in the courtyard, but Yunli mist brought the topic to Jiuxiaoyun.
.
"Master Qin, I thought you had forgotten?"
Miao Liuzhi laughed when he heard this and said: "Master Qin, I won't tell you the specific location. If you can guess where it is, then I will really admire you, old Miao!"
"Are you going to test me again?"
Qin Feng glanced at Miao Liuzhi and said: "Generally, the secret room is in the master's bedroom, but from what you said, it's obviously not there..."
Qin Feng walked out of the wing as he spoke. The cold wind cheered him up and he looked around. Qin Feng said as he walked: "Gardens are often watered and are not suitable for building secret rooms.
"
"Hey, Mr. Qin, why are you going to the backyard?" Seeing Qin Feng walking towards the backyard, Miao Liuzhi had a strange look in his eyes, but he chased after him.
PS: It’s the middle of the month, please recommend monthly tickets!!!
