The setting up of this mechanism is really unexpected. No one will try to push this boulder weighing a thousand kilograms, because no one thinks they can push this manger.
But no one would have thought that this huge manger is actually not as heavy as it looks. It only takes three to five hundred kilograms of strength to move it, and then the concave and convex grooves inside fit together.
In fact, Qin Feng didn't think of this so quickly, but when he saw a pit on the ground, the mark was new, like the fulcrum of a crowbar. When he looked at the corresponding manger in front of him, he suddenly understood.
come over.
"Master Qin, how come it has become so easy for you to do anything like this?"
Seeing Qin Feng push away the manger, Miao Liuzhi had a wry smile on his face. He originally thought that this mechanism would give Qin Feng a hard time, but the other party still cracked it easily.
"Old Miao, this is all thanks to you!"
Qin Feng laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "If it weren't for the traces of you using the crowbar a few days ago, how could I know that this manger is where the mechanism is?"
"The ground is full of potholes. Who knows how you could tell?"
Miao Liuzhi muttered angrily, pointed at the dark hole, and said, "Master Qin, the passage to this secret room is open, but it's not that easy to get in."
"Old Miao, don't talk about it yet, I'll go down and take a look."
Qin Feng waved his hand to stop Miao Liuzhi's words. Although he had received the inheritance of the Organ Gate and had heard many legends about the Organ Gate from his master, it was the first time for Qin Feng to see the methods of this sect.
"Master Qin, please slow down and take this."
Hearing Qin Feng say he wanted to go down, Miao Liuzhi handed over the flashlight, along with a lighter, and said: "There are two gas lamps down there. I added some kerosene to light the one that works better than the flashlight..."
Qin Feng nodded, took the flashlight and lighter with his left hand, propped his right hand on the stone, stood on the manger, and looked down with his head.
When the flashlight was illuminated, the dark hole suddenly became brighter.
Qin Feng discovered that there was a row of stone steps going down from the entrance of the cave. They went down about three meters, but there was a curve. It looked a bit like the cellars dug by people in the countryside of Shandong Province to store food.
Qin Feng, who was also an expert in art, had the courage to look at it for a while, then jumped in. When he was almost at the bottom, he slapped his right hand on the stone steps and stood firmly on the ground.
"What a big deal?"
Looking at the curve in front of him, Qin Feng couldn't help but boast: "This can not only be used as a secret room to store treasures, but it can also be used as a temporary refuge in times of crisis."
Generally, cellars used to store grain in rural areas are three to four meters deep, but the height underground is generally around one meter and two to three meters. Adults have to bend down when entering because they are afraid that the cellar will collapse if it is dug too high.
But the curve in front of Qin Feng was different, with a height of more than 1.9 meters. Qin Feng could walk through it easily.
There are two thick wooden pillars on both sides of the curve as support points, so there is no fear that the soil above will collapse. The top wall and the ground are covered with blue bricks on both sides of the wall, and there are two water troughs.
"It's a method of shutting down the government. They never do the kind of thing where they put the excavated soil on the wall."
After a moment's inspection, Qin Feng was sure that this mechanism was indeed made by the people behind the mechanism, and only they could build a simple secret room like a mausoleum.
On the brick walls on both sides of the curve, Qin Feng discovered four wind lanterns made of colored glaze that were very exquisite in shape. More importantly, these wind lanterns were all old objects. If they were taken out, one of them would probably sell for ten thousand yuan.
Eight thousand sons.
Seeing those lamps, Qin Feng couldn't help but murmured: "Ma Xinyi is really willing to give up. In their day, this thing could only be used in the palace."
The wind lantern itself is not much, the main thing is the colored glaze used to make the wind lantern, which was very precious in ancient times.
Glaze itself is a crystal work made of artificial crystals of various colors as raw materials, which are dewaxed at high temperatures using the ancient bronze lost-wax casting method. Its colors are vivid and beautiful, and its quality is crystal clear and dazzling.
By the time of the Qing Dynasty, the applications of glazed glass also increased, but they were basically used by the royal family, just like the glazed tiles in the Forbidden City, which are also a type of glazed glass.
Ma Xinyi was able to make these lamps out of colored glaze, so he must have had deep connections in the Qing Palace Building Office, otherwise there would be no such palace-specific objects in his house.
"Master Qin, Ma Xinyi built the secret room so privately, there must be something good hidden in it."
When Qin Feng was about to lift his foot and enter the bend, Miao Liuzhi also climbed down from the top on the stone steps, took the lighter from Qin Feng's hand, and lit the four wind lanterns.
Although it is a kerosene lamp, it is much more useful than a flashlight that can only emit a beam of light in this underground place. The entire bend suddenly becomes brighter.
“Only when you open that door can you know what’s inside.
After Miao Liuzhi lit up the wind lantern, Qin Feng had already seen that there was a large iron gate at the fourth corner. There was no decoration on the iron gate. If he didn't speak carefully, he would have thought it was a wall.
"Master Qin, I don't know anything about this, it's up to you.
Miao Liuzhi turned his body sideways and let Qin Feng walk to the front. In fact, the curve was very wide, and he and Qin Feng had no problem walking side by side in it.
"This...there's no lock on this door, how do you open it?"
When he came closer, Qin Feng was a little dumbfounded because there was no keyhole on this rusty iron door. As a result, no matter how high Qin Feng's lock-picking skills were, it would be useless for heroes.
"Master Qin, it's not that there is no keyhole. Look here..."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Miao Liuzhi behind him stretched out his hand and gently touched the upper right corner of the iron door. He pulled up a rusty iron piece that was about to fall off, revealing a keyhole.
.
"Huh? This...could this be the Five Elements Lock?"
Seeing this keyhole, Qin Feng's pupils shrank suddenly, and his right hand quickly fumbled on the other three sides of the iron door. Three keyholes appeared in front of his eyes, and in the center of the iron door, Qin Feng
Found the fourth keyhole again.
Including the keyholes opened by Miao's six fingers, the top, bottom, left, right and right corners plus the one in the middle, there are exactly five keyholes in total.
"Master Qin, what is this... five-element lock?" In the past few days, Miao Liuzhi had been working very hard on this iron door. At one time, he had prepared all kinds of unlocking tools and stayed under it.
One night.
But no matter how superb Miao Liuzhi's lock-picking skills were, there was nothing he could do with these five keyholes. If Qin Feng hadn't shouted out, he wouldn't even know the name of the lock.
Qin Feng frowned and looked at the iron gate, and replied casually: "Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are the five elements."
"Master Qin, I know this too, but...but what is the Five Elements Lock?" Miao Liuzhi was very depressed by Qin Feng's words. How could he not know what the Five Elements Lock is?
"Old Miao, you should know that the five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and the five elements lock is based on this principle. Only by opening all five locks can this iron door be opened..."
Qin Feng took a flashlight and shined it into a keyhole, and then said: "If you want to open the five elements lock, you must first have five corresponding keys. According to the directions of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, first open the locks at the four corners, and then open the lock.
Don’t make any mistake in the order and orientation of the central axis lock cylinder, otherwise you won’t be able to open the lock..."
"Master Qin, can you open this door?"
Seeing that Qin Feng's eyes never left the keyholes, Miao Liuzhi lost his composure. According to his idea, if Ma Xinyi built such a secret room, there must be something shocking inside.
"Old Miao, although I know the principle of the Five Elements Lock, I may not be able to open it..."
Looking at the iron door, Qin Feng felt a headache for the first time. This five-element lock is the secret of the mechanical door. The process is extremely complicated. If you want to install the five-element lock on this iron door, it will probably take at least a year.
The above efforts.
Even if Qin Feng wants to open the Five Elements Lock, he may not be able to do it in a short time, and he must have various special tools. Even so, Qin Feng is only 60% sure of being able to open it.
"You can't even open it?"
Miao Liuzhi opened his eyes when he heard this and said: "Master Qin, if this is not the case, I will call all the workers here tomorrow and tell them to build a pond here and ask them to dig from top to bottom until it reaches three meters.
It’s time to stop…”
Miao slapped the iron door with his six fingers and said, "I don't believe it. This secret room can be wrapped with such thick pig iron? If Ma Xinyi had made such a big move, I'm afraid that old lady Cixi would have been alarmed."
As mentioned before, there are two types of unlocking: literary and martial. Although Miao Liuzhi learned literary and martial arts, but he was helpless, he might as well resort to martial arts.
After hearing what Miao Liuzhi said, Qin Feng smiled brightly and said: "Old Miao, according to your statement, it is better to find a gas welding cutting machine and cut the iron door directly."
"Hey, Mr. Qin, this is a good idea..." Miao Liuzhi's eyes lit up and he said, "Although this iron door is thick, I still don't believe it can be cut open in one night!"
"What a fart!"
Qin Feng couldn't help but uttered a curse word, pointed at the iron door, and said: "How can the things in the mechanism door be cracked with external force? Unless you don't want what's inside!"
Miao Liuzhi was stunned by what Qin Feng said, and said: "Master Qin, how do you say this?"
Qin Feng shook his head and said: "Everything made by the machine door is interlocked and closely connected.
If you use force to enter the secret room, I'm afraid everything inside will be destroyed. As for whether it will be burned by fire or flooded, I don't know."
If there is anyone in the world who is most familiar with the mechanism of the door, it is naturally Qin Feng. When he saw the Five Elements Lock, he knew that this iron door could never be broken open with external force.
