He reached into his pocket and took out five keys of different lengths. Qin Feng's expression became a little nervous. This was the first organ door product he had seen in the world, so he naturally didn't want it to be destroyed.
Qin Feng looked back and said solemnly: "Old Miao, please step back a little. If there is anything wrong, climb up immediately."
"Master Qin, it's okay. I can help you with a flashlight while I'm standing here." Miao Liuzhi shook his head and refused to retreat.
"You're fine, I'm fine.
Qin Feng rolled his eyes when he heard this and said, "Who knows what those people at the agency gate are thinking. If the passage collapses, how can I run away if you block it there?"
No matter what, Qin Feng is now three meters underground. If this corner really collapses, he will lose ten lives and has to look out for his escape route.
"Well, okay, then I'd better go up first."
Miao Liuzhi thought about it carefully and found out what Qin Feng was saying. If something unexpected happened, with his current reaction ability, he would really become a burden to Qin Feng.
"Well, open it and I'll call you."
Qin Feng nodded. This passage was supported by pillars. Even if it collapsed, it would take a few seconds. Without Miao Liuzhi blocking his back, it would be enough for Qin Feng to escape.
"Master Patriarch, bless you!" After Miao Liuzhi exited, Qin Feng clasped his hands devoutly and bowed to the iron gate in front of him.
Qin Feng is also very curious. The Five Elements Lock represents the highest level among government agencies.
So far, the Five Elements Lock has only appeared in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, which is now the Forbidden City. However, no one could crack the Five Elements Lock on the door. After breaking the door with force, the secret room spontaneously ignited, and the contents inside
All destroyed in one go.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng inserted the first key, which was about fifteen centimeters long, into the keyhole representing the five elements of gold. When the key was inserted three-fifths of the way, Qin Feng stopped.
, twist it slightly to the left.
Just listen to a soft sound of "click!", the key suddenly sank one-fifth of the way in and turned a full circle to the left, leaving only one key head outside. At the same time, there was a sound coming from inside the door.
There was a sound of gears grinding.
"It's done!"
Qin Feng's face showed an excited look, and without hesitation, he inserted the second key into the keyhole that represented the five elements of "wood". However, this time Qin Feng turned the key to the right.
In the same situation as the first key, the second key also turned automatically. The mechanical sound inside the door was clearly audible. Qin Feng knew that he had also cracked the second level.
However, there were still three keys. Qin Feng did not dare to be careless at all. His body was in a state of extreme tension. If anything went wrong, he would exit the secret passage and return to the ground as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, there were no accidents with the third and fourth keys, and they matched the keyhole smoothly.
However, even without inserting a key, Qin Feng seemed to have expended a lot of effort. In this cold winter month, Qin Feng's forehead was already covered with sweat beads, and his eyes showed a tired look.
"It's the last one, Grandmaster, please bless me!"
Holding the last key, which was twenty centimeters long, Qin Feng muttered something silently in his heart. After taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and inserted the key into the keyhole.
"Three to the left, four to the right, don't drop the chain, open it for me!"
After inserting the key, Qin Feng first twisted it three times to the left, then four times to the right, and finally pressed the key in and quickly backed away.
Qin Feng knew that if he did this last step wrong, all the previous efforts would be in vain. At this moment, his right foot was on a stone step. If there was even the slightest mistake, he would immediately climb out of the secret passage.
"Ka... Ka Ka..." A sound of mechanical rotation seemed so harsh deep in the ground.
The key that Qin Feng safely pressed into the keyhole was like a center, driving the other four keys to rotate at the same time, making a constant "clicking" sound.
"It's done!" Hearing the sound of the mechanical rotation, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the senior machine door.
When there was almost no industry more than a hundred years ago, they could actually build such an exquisite mechanism. It was unknown how much manpower and energy it took. In Qin Feng's view, it was almost unimaginable.
"Click... click..."
After the key turned automatically for almost thirty seconds, a soft sound reached Qin Feng's ears, and the heavy iron door slowly opened from the inside out.
"Old Miao, come down!" Qin Feng raised his head and shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, Miao Liuzhi descended to the bottom of the pit with agility that was extremely inconsistent with his age.
"Qin...Master Qin, are you really...really open?"
As soon as Miao Liuzhi asked, he closed his mouth tightly because the iron door in front of him had been opened more than half way, and a turbid air blew out from the space inside the door.
"Old Miao, hold your breath..."
Qin Feng's throat moved, but he did not open his mouth. The turbid air may not be poisonous, but the air in the space that has been sealed for hundreds of years may contain some germs.
Just like the so-called Pharaoh's Curse in 2000, scientists from various countries who entered the pyramids died one after another. In fact, they died because they breathed the air in the pyramids and were invaded by the germs that were breathed into their bodies.
Miao Liuzhi had also been to the tomb back then. He didn't have Qin Feng's body shape, so he covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, only revealing a pair of eyes staring at the open iron door.
The iron door opened very slowly. It took more than three minutes before it was fully opened. The four oil lamps at the bend gave out light, and the secret room that had been sealed for a hundred years appeared in front of Qin Feng and Miao Liuzhi.
In front of you.
"Master Qin, let's go in, it should be fine!" Miao Liuzhi put down the hand covering his mouth and nose, with an excited look in his eyes.
"Old Miao, don't worry..." Qin Feng grabbed him and said, "Follow my footsteps, don't make a mistake!"
"What? There is still a mechanism?" Miao Liuzhi was stunned when he heard this, and said: "The person who can open this secret room must be a descendant of Lao Ma. Why don't he be so prepared?"
Qin Feng shook his head and said: "Be careful of sailing the ten-thousand-year-old ship, Lao Miao, don't get into trouble with yourself."
Reaching out to take the flashlight in Miao Liuzhi's hand, Qin Feng walked in front. In fact, there were four lights at the bend, and the outline of the secret room could be vaguely seen.
The secret room is not very big, only two meters high, four meters long and four meters wide, in a square shape, less than twenty square meters in total, with masonry walls on all sides.
Along the circle of the secret room, there are eight lacquered red wooden boxes about fifty centimeters high, two boxes in each direction. In addition, in the middle of the secret room, there is a sand table used for marching and fighting.
"Old Miao, don't go wrong!"
After Qin Feng stepped into the secret room, he took two small steps forward, less than one meter, and then suddenly took three steps to the right. These three steps were relatively large. After stepping out, he had already reached the wall.
"Master Qin, what are you doing?"
Seeing Qin Feng's actions, Miao Liuzhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. However, due to the thick layer of dust on the ground, Qin Feng's shoe prints were not difficult to identify. Miao Liuzhi followed Qin Feng and came behind him.
"This is all true, Mr. Qin, it can't be wrong." Miao Liuzhi stamped the ground hard and looked around.
There was nothing else in this secret room except the box and the sand table. The box was covered, so there was no way to know what was inside. Miao Liuzhi's eyes naturally focused on the sand table.
"It's true in reality, but it's better to be careful."
The route Qin Feng took is a secret that is not told in the agency door. As long as it is a mechanism set up by the agency door, you can stay safe if you follow this route.
"Hey, that's strange. Why is Ma Xinyi setting up a marching sandbox here?"
At this time, Qin Feng's eyes also fell on the sand table, and he said with some confusion: "Even if Ma Xinyi has led troops to fight, there is no need to build a sand table here, right?"
The sand table in front of you is about one meter long and sixty centimeters wide. It has mountains and water on it, just like an ancient landscape painting.
There are only small colorful flags placed in several places, so it looks like a sand table used for marching and fighting in ancient times.
The base of the sand table is made of blue bricks and is about one meter high. The sand table itself is made of clay and surrounded by wooden frames. It is very beautifully made.
"Master Qin... Could this... be the treasure map of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"
Staring closely at the sand table, Miao Liuzhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stammered: "Although Ma Xinyi is a scholar and has been a Jinshi, he is also a military genius and is very good at marching and fighting. But this
······There is definitely something fishy about this sandbox.”
"Old Miao, what did you see?" Qin Feng looked at the sand table and said, "You have been to more places. What kind of terrain is this?"
As he spoke, Qin Feng's eyes were not idle, and he kept every prescription on the sand table firmly in his mind. If he didn't have a pen and paper in his hand, Qin Feng would even want to give it to him.
Draw it.
"It looks familiar. They should be two mountains."
Miao Liuzhi racked his brains to compare the sand table in front of him with the terrain in his mind, and said hesitantly: "It's a bit like the terrain of Jinling. Master Qin, look at the two mountains on the left and right, do they look like Jinling?"
What about Purple Mountain and Qixia Mountain?"
"I have never been to Jinling, and I don't know the map there." Qin Feng shook his head and said: "But the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom once established its capital in Jinling, and it may have something to do with those people."
"Master Qin, it's not maybe, it's definitely 1"
Miao Liuzhi's face was flushed with excitement at this moment, and he said anxiously: "When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established its capital in Jinling, known as Tianjing, Ma Xinyi left such a sand table in this secret room, do you think there is any other meaning?"
In the excitement, Miao Liuzhi had long forgotten Qin Feng's instructions and walked towards the sand table with his feet raised. His eyesight was not as good as Qin Feng's. Only by walking closer could he see some of the finer points on the sand table clearly.
