"What should we do? Mr. Qin, if there is a treasure map in it, it must be drawn on paper or cloth. I can't help but burn it and flood it."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Miao Liuzhi couldn't help but change his expression. Back then, his master Jiang Yishou had asserted that there would definitely be clues to the treasures hidden in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so Miao Liuzhi had always believed it.
"I said, Lao Miao, are you crazy about wanting to get rich?"
Qin Feng looked at Miao Liuzhi dumbfounded and said: "Even if this secret room was built by someone from the agency, it doesn't mean there must be a treasure map inside. I do believe there are some gold and jewelry..."
"Master Qin, it doesn't matter what's inside. What matters is how we open the door."
Miao smacked his lips with six fingers and took out the cigarette pouch out of habit, but thinking about the poor air circulation underground, he stuffed the cigarette pouch back into his pocket.
"I'll try, but it definitely won't work today.
Qin Feng thought for a moment, lifted up the front of his clothes, and after fumbling with his belt buckle with his right hand for a while, he found a silver-white object three to four millimeters wide and seven to eight centimeters long in his hand.
"Master Qin, this...is this a core-pulling needle?" Seeing the thing Qin Feng was holding, Miao Liuzhi's eyes suddenly lit up. Anyone who really came from the burglary house knew about this thing.
Son's.
The so-called core-pulling needle is actually a sharp tool for unlocking. This kind of thing is usually made of fine gold. It can be soft or hard, and has a very low touch. It can truly reflect what it touches and intuitively convey
Get it into hand.
The ring Miao Liuzhi wore on his left hand also contained a core-pulling needle, but he had already used this thing and was helpless against the iron door in front of him.
Qin Feng nodded and said: "That's right, whether it succeeds or not depends on this thing."
This core-pulling needle was passed down to Qin Feng from Master Zai.
According to Zai, despite its small size, it is actually made of more than ten kinds of precious metals. It is a treasure handed down from generation to generation in the category of mechanical doors and stolen doors, specializing in breaking all kinds of difficult keys.
Holding the core-retracting needle with his right thumb and index finger, Qin Feng took a deep breath and closed his eyes. However, the core-retracting needle in his hand was inserted into a keyhole without fail.
"Left...second from the left, third from the right, no, it's a little off."
As the core-pulling needle went deeper, Qin Feng kept mumbling to himself. This attempt took him more than an hour. After pulling out the needle, Qin Feng's forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of peas.
Thanks to Miao Liuzhi's patience, he actually waited there for more than an hour without saying a word, for fear of disturbing Qin Feng's spying on the Five Elements Lock.
"Master Qin, how are you doing?"
It wasn't until Qin Feng pulled out the core-retracting needle that Miao Liuzhi moved his numb legs and feet. Although his health was much better than that of his peers, he was still an old man in his seventies or eighties. Standing for such a long time would damage the joints of his body.
They also became stiff.
"Let's talk later..." Qin Feng waved his hand to stop Miao Liuzhi's words. Instead, he put the core needle under the glass oil lamp and observed it carefully.
You can see by the light that there are many large and small tooth marks left on the core needle.
But after Qin Feng looked at it for more than a minute, those tooth marks slowly disappeared, and the core-pulling needle became smooth and moist again, and no traces could be seen anymore.
"Five points sure!"
Qin Feng shook his head and said: "Old Miao, don't stay with me on this cold day. Go up and sleep quickly. This door... will definitely not be opened today."
"Go up if you are told. What if Xuanzi and the others get up in the middle of the night to pee and come looking for you?"
Qin Feng waved his hand angrily. He was not afraid that Miao Liuzhi would watch him unlock the door, but he was really afraid that he would give the old man a cold. Having an old man in a family is like having a treasure. Qin Feng might have to rely on Miao Liuzhi for things in the future.
Woolen cloth.
"Okay, I'll go up, but Qin Feng, really can't open this door today?"
Miao Liuzhi was still a little unwilling. At his age, it was not that he wanted to covet the wealth in the secret room. He just wanted to get answers as soon as possible after having doubted things for a lifetime.
Qin Feng shook his head and said: "It can't be opened. It takes at least more than a year to make this five-element lock-activated door. Do you think it is so easy to open?"
"Okay, I'll go to the room first..."
Miao Liuzhi sighed after hearing this, feeling deeply that time is not forgiving. He had only stayed here for more than an hour, and his legs, feet, and body were almost frozen, and he really couldn't hold on any longer.
"Maybe there is a treasure map inside? Otherwise, why would you make a five-element lock?" After Miao Liu put his finger up, Qin Feng inserted the core-pulling needle into another lock cylinder.
Qin Feng's movements were the same as before, but beads of sweat were pouring out from his face with his eyes tightly closed, flowing down his neck, and even the collar of his underwear was wet.
After the second lock cylinder was studied, more than an hour passed. However, although he was extremely tired, Qin Feng's eyes became brighter because he had 10% more handles to open the Five Elements Lock!
After testing all five keyholes, Qin Feng staggered on the soles of his feet, and a chill invaded his body. He couldn't help but tighten his clothes. After moving his numb legs and feet, he climbed up the stone steps.
go out.
"Huh? It's really snowing this time, isn't it?"
After coming out of the manger, Qin Feng found heavy snow falling from the sky. Within five or six hours, a thick layer of white snow had accumulated on the ground outside the manger shed.
Maybe it was because of the snow. Although it was past seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was still bright. Qin Feng regained some energy after grabbing a handful of snow from the ground and rubbing it on his face.
Qin Feng rested for several minutes before pushing the stone trough back. The person who made this mechanism can definitely be called a skilled craftsman.
Just when Qin Feng pushed the stone trough to the end, there was only a small click sound. The stone trough had been stuck into the mechanism, and the fit was perfect. No one could have guessed that under this big stone of nearly a thousand kilograms,
There is actually another universe.
After resetting the stone trough, Qin Feng returned to the central courtyard despite the heavy snow and plunged into the side room. In just a few short steps, his body and head were already covered with snowflakes.
"Master Qin, are you back?"
Qin Feng, who was shaking off the snowflakes, suddenly heard Miao Liuzhi's voice. He rubbed his eyes and looked around, realizing that the old man had not gone to bed. He just covered himself with a blanket and sat on the recliner next to the stove, waiting for Qin Feng.
"They haven't woken up yet?"
Qin Fengzhong glanced at the inner room on the left and right, turned around and said: "Technically speaking, I am 90% sure, but this thing depends on luck, and the 10% luck is also very important."
As the saying goes, it is not difficult for those who know how to do it. Many people who forget to bring their keys when they go out will always feel that there is a layer of mystery surrounding the locksmith when they see the people from the locksmith company opening their own locks in three strokes.
halo.
In fact, as long as you understand the principle of the lock, even a novice can open an ordinary lock in just a few hours. It is indeed difficult to master this thing, but it does not cost much to understand a little bit.
time.
It took Qin Feng all night. This five-element lock is extremely complicated. If it were replaced with an ordinary lock, Qin Feng would only spend a few minutes at most. How could he be as tired as a dead dog like now?
.
"90% sure? That's a sure thing."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Miao Liuzhi was very excited. He quickly stood up from the recliner and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's open the door quickly..."
"How can it be that simple?" Qin Feng curled his lips when he heard this and said: "Old Miao, you have been squinting for a while, but I can't hold it anymore. Wait until I wake up."
"Okay, there's no rush at this moment, it's good to have hope!"
Seeing Qin Feng's haggard look, Miao Liu pointed and nodded and said: "I have also burned the stove in the right wing, and the bedding and other things have been laid out. You go and get some sleep quickly."
Qin Feng nodded. He was so tired that he didn't even want to say anything. He turned around and went to the right wing, fell directly on the bed, and began to use sleep to repair his over-exhausted nerves.
This lock-picking technique is different from other skills. It is impossible to copy the original key regardless of any inconspicuous small flaws or unnoticed areas.
Qin Feng also exhausted almost all his energy to form the outline of the Five Elements Lock key in his mind, but now Qin Feng almost has no energy to draw it on paper.
Xie Xuan and others must have been instructed by Miao Liuzhi. After getting up, they tidied up in the yard. At noon, He Jinlong even led a group of people to pull out all the construction debris that was piled with snow in the courtyard.
go out.
Qin Feng slept for more than ten hours. It was not until seven o'clock in the evening that he came out of the wing. He still had a tired look on his face. His actions at night really hurt his vitality.
.
"Brother Feng, why did you sleep for so long?"
The heavy snow has not stopped yet, but Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan, who are too energetic, are building snowmen in the yard. Next to them, Leng Xiongfei is watching the fun with his arms hanging.
"I'm tired during this period. It's the Chinese New Year, so it's just a good time to catch up on some sleep."
Qin Feng looked around and said: "Xuanzi, hurry up and buy Duilian Fu Zi tomorrow. It's already the 28th of the New Year."
Xie Xuan picked up a carrot and stuck it in the snowman's nose. He turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, I bought it a long time ago. It takes thirty to stick this thing on.
"Hmm..." Qin Feng nodded and said, "Buy more vegetables, Bureau Hu may come over to celebrate the New Year."
"Qin Feng, Honghu sent half a piece of pig. I went to buy chicken, duck, fish, meat and eggs during the day, and everything is ready."
Hearing Qin Feng's voice, Miao Liuzhi walked out of the main wing, his eyes looking at Qin Feng full of hope.
