Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 828

Professor Xu looked at me with a smile and said that he was relieved if we did this, and then he stopped talking and just made a few gestures at me.I understood what he meant, he was asking me to cooperate with Yazai, but he took a step back.

I can't cooperate with Yazai, but he wipes the sweat on his forehead when he gets a lot of sweat. Professor Xu has already given him all the tools he wants, so I just need to watch.

Eighteen locks...

I stared at this door, and I really couldn't believe it. Behind this seemingly ordinary wooden door, there are actually eighteen exquisite locks, and they still need to be opened at the same time.

Yazai's groping movements became slower and slower, as if he had encountered some difficulty, and none of us dared to rush him, because this mechanism is really terrifying.

"Changan, replace me!" Ms. Qiu's voice came out not very forcefully. I looked at her and silently asked her what she was going to do.

She raised her uninjured finger and pointed to the wooden door, saying that it was natural to unlock the mechanism.

I frowned and said that it is enough to have a child, you take a rest.

"My body was injured, not my brain. Get out of the way." Her tone was a little harsh, and I let out a breath, slightly moved away from the position beside me, and then helped her to walk to Yazai's side.

Yazai looked up at her, and then said nothing, but directly said: "Eighteen secret locks, each of which has one more buckle than the previous one, and all of them need to be unlocked within half an hour."

"Not at the same time?" I asked strangely.

Yazai shook his head with a smile, saying that if it was at the same time, we would have a better time waiting for death.

I stuck out my tongue, knowing that what he said was correct, but Professor Xu's judgment should not be wrong.

Yazai explained that because Professor Xu didn't know that it was a secret lock, he was only sure when he touched the last two locks.

"Secret Lock?" Miss Qiu frowned, asking how far the boy could do it.

Yazai sighed, and said that with his current speed, even if he figured out how to open these locks, it would take at least five or ten minutes to unlock them.

Two 10 minute gap...

It is really difficult to improve in a short period of time.

Miss Qiu nodded: "Will you leave the above eight questions to me?"

"Nonsense." I said disapprovingly.

Miss Qiu only has one hand that can move, and her current condition is definitely not suitable for laboring.

But both of them ignored my words, Yazai nodded and said: "In this case, I have no problem, but can you promise to open the eight locks in half an hour?"

Miss Qiu nodded without hesitation and said there was no problem.

The two assigned the task of unlocking in a few words, and finally Yazai turned to look at me, saying that he would call to start after a while, and asked me to be in charge of timing and remind him every 5 minutes.

"You..." I looked at Miss Qiu who was standing by the door with a somewhat unsteady figure, and felt uncomfortable.

But Yazai just waved his hands, then looked at Miss Qiu, the two looked at each other, and then nodded at the same time.

"Start!" Yazai's voice was crisp and clear.

I pressed the watch, looked at them for a while, and looked at the watch for a while, even though I was worried in my heart, I didn't dare to say anything.

click...

Yazai opened the first lock instantly, followed by Miss Qiu's second lock.

I glanced at the time, only 2 minutes, but a total of eighteen...

They will definitely get slower and slower in the back, and half an hour still seems not enough.

"5 minutes!" I yelled.

Yazai and Ms. Qiu didn't express anything, they put all their heart and soul into unlocking the locks. With the sound of clicking, they opened a total of nine locks when I shouted for 10 minutes.

Half of the amount... This speed is already very fast, but I obviously feel that their speed is getting slower and slower. I wonder if the remaining 10 minutes are enough?

Except for the sound of them opening the lock, and my occasional sound of telling the time, there is no other sound.

Twenty minutes later, only one of Miss Qiu's eight locks was left, and Yazai had two left.

Their speed is about the same.

But the last lock took a very long time. After a full 5 minutes, Ms. Qiu hadn't made any progress, but Yazai finally unlocked the penultimate lock, and then moved her eyes to the last lock.

5 minutes to go...

I let out a sigh of relief, 5 minutes is really worrying, I looked at the numbers on the watch beating, I just wonder if the watch is broken, why is it beating so fast?
"How many minutes?" Yazai asked suddenly.

His head was covered with sweat, his face was pale, but his hands were very steady.

I glanced at my watch and said the time quickly: "There are two and a half minutes left."

Yazai nodded, exchanged glances with Miss Qiu, and slowly accelerated the movements of his hands.

Two and a half minutes, two minutes, one and a half minutes...

click...

Finally I heard the sound of a lock being unlocked, it was Yazai, he finally unlocked the last lock.

He looked up at Miss Qiu, whose expression was indifferent, as if she didn't feel the passage of time.

One point...she slowly closed her eyes, and half point...she opened them again.

She saw her intact hand on the side of the door quickly flipping the keyhole inside, and her ears were pricked up to listen to the movement inside the lock cylinder.

15 second……

I was a little anxious, but I didn't dare to rush, I just looked at Miss Qiu nervously.

ten seconds...

I exhaled lightly, for fear that the movement of exhaling would be too loud and affect Miss Qiu.

five seconds...

Yazai also became nervous, he stared at Miss Qiu closely.

three seconds...

I could hardly bear to call Miss Qiu.

One second... My spirit was tense, and then I heard a click!
The last lock was finally unlocked. Looking at the big zero on the watch, I felt my whole body go limp.

"Sister Qiu, you, you are too scary." I breathed out.

Miss Qiu was also sweating, she looked at me and smiled, a little reluctantly, I immediately stepped forward to support her, she leaned on me softly, and said with some embarrassment: "Fortunately, it's finished, otherwise I also dragged the boy down."

"No, this lock is the most difficult!" Yazai smiled, then gave Miss Qiu a thumbs up, saying, Miss Qiu, I admire you so much.

Miss Qiu pushed him and didn't speak any more, while Lao Yan and Drilling Mouse slowly pushed open the wooden door.

The wooden door made a creaking sound, and a gust of cold wind came out from the crack in the door, and I shivered from the cold.

I handed Ms. Qiu to Professor Xu, and Yazai and I took the lead. Professor Xu supported Ms. Qiu and followed us. Old Yan and Mole were in charge of breaking the rear.

Behind the wooden door is a flat ground, which seems to be nothing.

I frowned, we spent so much effort, could it be that we didn't reach the edge of the mausoleum at all?
"Lao Yan, have you seen this kind?" I turned to look at Lao Yan.He shook his head, and said no. Generally, the tomb door is connected to either the tomb passage or the tomb chamber, or even a burial pit at worst. But if this piece of flat land is not behind this tomb door, he would think it is a normal ground.

I also have this feeling. The top of the flat ground is also a very ordinary rock layer, as if there was such a cave here, and it happened that Liu went to see it, and then built the mausoleum based on this flat ground.

But I also understand that the place we just passed by cannot be the whole of the mausoleum, and we haven't even touched the edge of the mausoleum.

I raised my hand and asked them to wait in place, then took the Xuantian Big Dipper Pearl from my neck, and lay down on the ground.

I closed my left eye, and my right eye slowly swept across the flat ground through Xuan Tianzhu!

The method of relying on the stars to determine the acupoints in "The Secret of the Star Official" still has certain flaws. For example, now that I am in the tomb, I cannot use the stars at all, nor can I use the light reflected from the stars.

Then Xuan Tianzhu is my only reliance!
