Chapter 1734 Fire
If they were not more than 50% sure, Zhang Xuezhou and others would not fight with a mindless mechanical man.

Opening the metal door behind the mechanical man, everyone saw a space only four square meters in size.

And behind this door there is an iron door.

"This is a double door. If someone uses his dexterity and speed to force the door open, without opening the second door in time, he will be roasted to death in this space by this mechanism!"

Li Shaojun felt a little frightened.

He looked at Zhang Xuezhou, then at Gongsun Hong, and saw that there was an unnatural feeling under the calm expressions of the two men. He knew in his heart that the two men must have had similar thoughts.

"Look at the handprints on the wall. They should be left by the people who were burned to death before because they had no way in or out!"

Li Shaojun pointed to the wall.

Unlike normal brick walls, in addition to bluestone piled on the outside, this room is also isolated with copper plates, forming an actual cage trap.

"Although there are only three locks here, the real lock on this door is the bolt inside. They have reversed the door lock. We have limited violence. How can we open the door?"

Gongsun Hong opened the first door with great effort, but he couldn't help but have a headache when he looked at the second door. He felt that even if the sword broke, it would be difficult to pry open such a bronze door.

"This is a mechanical lock. As long as you open these three locks correctly, the bolt inside may open automatically!"

Li Shaojun and Gongsun Hong each spoke, and Zhang Xuezhou also began to explore the three locks after checking for a while.

Similar to password boxes, these three locks look like locks, but the lock bodies are almost as tight to the doors as if they were welded.

If you rely on violence to split the lock, it will be almost impossible to open the door, and you will definitely be killed by the guards.

Zhang Xuezhou had to marvel once again at the technological alternatives of this world. Even anti-theft doors and anti-theft locks had a prototype, but it was extremely difficult to create the gap between the lock body and the door opening under limited conditions.

Zhang Xuezhou had invited Dong Zhongshu to create the magic instrument "Heng", and only then did he realize the difficulty of achieving the ultimate under limited conditions.

What may seem insignificant to people hundreds of years later is extremely difficult for today.

And this is just one door of the Mohist school.

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the four directions of east, south, west and north on the bronze door, and he stretched out his hand and turned the lock repeatedly.

There are three lock bodies and four positions, and there are very few ways to combine them. Even if you try them all, it won’t waste much time.

But for those who have no concept of combination locks, this kind of cracking method does not exist in their minds. It would be extremely difficult to unlock this kind of lock. If they are not the core disciples of Mo Men, only some people can open it by accident.

"You said that this Mo family's lock mechanism is so complicated. If I take this door home, wouldn't it be possible to build a treasure house that is no less than a bag?"

After listening to Zhang Xuezhou's description, Li Shaojun couldn't help but think deeply, and felt that every door of the Mohist school could be considered a treasure.

"Dongfang Shuo, how did you know this method of unlocking the door?" Gongsun Hong asked curiously.

"Master Dong and I have created magical instruments together and have come into contact with some Mohist mechanical techniques," Zhang Xuezhou replied casually.

"Zhongshu... Zhongshu is naturally very strong!"

Gongsun Hong took a deep breath.

Bewitched by the purple light, Gongsun Hong was defeated twice by Dong Zhongshu in his hallucination. He had some shadows in his heart and felt that it was normal that he was not as good as Dong Zhongshu. It was also normal if Dong Zhongshu knew about the mechanism lock of Mohism.

“Is there any medicine in it?”

Ao Sheng at the back lowered his head and asked curiously. For the first time, he felt that he had to shrink his demon body a little when he transformed, otherwise he couldn't even get through the small door of humans.

He twisted his body that was burned by the flames, and felt a burning pain all over.

Ao Sheng tore off a piece of charred skin from his body and looked at the bright red flesh inside. He felt that if he couldn't find medicine to recover from his injuries, he would need to soak in the sea water and recuperate quietly.

Of course, he could seek help from that annoying guy Ao Li, who was appointed as the Great Dragon God of Rain by the Heavenly Court, and ask for the use of the dragon ball that the other party was keeping.

But whenever he thought of the scene of begging for a dragon, Ao Sheng felt that it would be more painful than death.

If possible, he hoped that there would be some healing medicine in the small treasure house of the Mo family. This was a medicine technique that the dragon clan was not good at, but it also had a healing effect on the dragon clan's body.

If I could meet a monk who is good at healing and kind enough to treat me, that would be the best thing. "Forget it, I can't count on human monks to help me heal my wounds. They might drug me and I might even have my skin peeled off when I wake up!"

Ao Sheng thought about the consequences and finally gave up this crazy idea.

He looked over and saw Zhang Xuezhou twisting a small piece of metal with his hand.

After a moment, Zhang Xuezhou stretched out his hand and pushed the small door open, revealing an inner room of nearly 100 square meters, which was filled with dark things.

"What is this?" Li Shaojun asked with a grim expression.

"This seems to be the top fuel of the Mohist school, made from special wood." Gongsun Hong also said with a slightly grim expression: "This is most likely the fuel used for this mechanical man!"

"This damn harvest is fatal!"

Li Shaojun doesn't like any fuel and he has no interest in fuel at all.

No matter how vigorously a flame burns, it cannot be more powerful than a good fortune pill that can boost one's cultivation.

"It is still useful." Zhang Xuezhou also frowned and said, "After lighting this fuel, the flame will last for a long time, and we can see the surrounding situation more clearly!"

"Yes, there must be more than just this mechanism room in the Mo family's mechanical city. It's connected in all directions, and there should be many more mechanism rooms to search!"

Gongsun Hong also comforted himself.

The monks of the Mohist school not only use mechanisms, they also need to practice, which requires both things for practice and mechanical devices and magic weapons.

"The further we go down here, the harder it is for the purple light to penetrate, which means we can search freely everywhere," Li Shaojun said, "If we see an invincible mechanism, we will reunite."

Li Shaojun likes the convenience of adventure with Zhang Xuezhou, but Li Shaojun is not willing to seek rewards with Zhang Xuezhou.

He felt that he had not gained anything from following Zhang Xuezhou, so he spoke out a suggestion and indicated that everyone could meet at this exit of the underground passage if they encountered any danger.

"Lord Ao Sheng is injured, so it is inconvenient for him to come in and out of here. You can keep this jade ruyi outside," said Gongsun Hong.

"Well, it's better for the three of us to act separately than to search in one direction." Zhang Xuezhou nodded and said, "This will also help find medicine for Lord Ao Sheng's injuries as soon as possible!"

"Thank you for thinking of me, I am so touched!"

Ao Sheng listened for a while and felt that these three people were completely thinking about him. They gave him the things that could eliminate the hallucinations in this area for safekeeping, which showed that they trusted him very much.

After holding the cold jade ruyi, Ao Sheng felt that his body felt much more comfortable.

"You need to come out and rescue me as soon as possible!"

He looked at the three people, each carrying a pile of lit flames and heading towards the front, left and right, and then looked at himself who was behind, and Ao Sheng couldn't help but give some instructions.

He stood at the door bored, and was pulling at the mechanical man who had caused him so much trouble.

After being skinned and having its tendons removed, Ao Sheng tore the mechanical man into pieces, revealing a tripod at the core of the mechanical man.

Even though the entire robot was soaked, there were still sparks of fuel under the tripod.

Ao Sheng pulled it and felt a tendon pulled by his finger. A violent airflow blew past, and the flame under the tripod suddenly became stronger. The blue flame quickly sprayed upwards along the tripod legs to a height of ten feet.

This gave Ao Sheng a big shock.

Having suffered from this kind of fire, he was actually a little afraid that he would accidentally get burned again.

In case of getting burned, Ao Sheng felt that he might not be able to wait for the elixir that Zhang Xuezhou and others found.

He looked with awe at the tripod that was spewing flames, and watched helplessly as the flames splashed into the black mass that everyone had previously called top-grade fuel.

When the fierce fire rose up, the door that had been discussed many times began to turn red, soften, and quickly melted into molten iron.

He shook his head slightly and spat a mouthful of water at the fuel. The flames ignited by the fuel pile became more fierce, causing the black substance to burn in large pieces.

The scorching heat waves brought by the flames made Ao Sheng, who was several feet away, feel extremely uncomfortable. He shuddered in his heart, grabbed the jade ruyi and quickly fled from here with his legs sprained.
