At this moment, Su Mu's eyes were focused on the iron plate.

"What do you think this iron plate is used for?" Su Mu asked.

Several people you look at me, I look at you.

Wu Jing thought for a while and then guessed first.

"Is it...a mechanism?"

Su Mu nodded in approval.

"Yes, it must be an agency. So what is this agency connected to?"

"That is, after opening the mechanism, what can we get?"

His questions successfully silenced everyone else present.

Yes, what happens after this mechanism is opened?

"I think it's a reminder to open the Zhang Family Ancient Building!" Su Mu said.

"Zhang, Zhang Family Ancient Building? Why did you transfer to the Zhang Family Ancient Building all of a sudden!" Wu Jing was puzzled.

It felt like Su Mu turned a corner too fast, and he didn't react at all.

"What is the main purpose of our trip?" Su Mu continued to guide and ask.

"The ultimate goal is to find the Zhang Family Ancient Building, but the Zhang Family Ancient Building is in Shiwanda Mountain!" Reba answered quickly this time.

"That's right, the Zhang family's ancient building is in Shiwanda Mountain, and that's why Mrs. Huo wants to split her troops into two groups."

"It's because the key to the Zhang family's ancient building is right here, in this room!" Su Mu said.

At this moment, Wu Jing and the others' brains were burned dry instantly.

One by one, they looked at Su Mu with confused eyes.

Xiaohua seemed to understand somewhat, but also seemed to not understand.

So Su Mu continued to explain.

"Let me tell you this, do you know that there is a kind of lock in this world called Qianli Lock!"

"It's locked in one place, and the key to open it is hidden far away."

"The purpose of this is to protect this important thing extremely well!"

"I think the Zhang Family Ancient Building used this Thousand Mile Lock method!"

Su Mu's words once again stunned everyone present.

Except for Xiaohua, none of them had heard of this so-called Thousand Mile Lock.

After all, modern society is basically electronic locks or safe locks.

And they are not engaged in this kind of work, so it is normal that they have not heard of it.

"There are such magical locks in this world. It's really a great experience!" Lu Han murmured.

"Su Mu, are you so sure?" Xiaohua asked back at this moment.

Without waiting for Su Mu to answer, Xiaohua rushed to speak.

"Oh, Xiaohua, you don't have to question Su Mu on this point."

"Su Mu's intuition is always the most accurate. Since he said it is like this, it must be like this!"

"Then it seems like it's right for us to come here first. If we are still at Shiwandashan, even if we find the entrance to the Zhang Family Ancient Building, there is no way to get in!" Wu Jing said.

"If Mrs. Huo doesn't fall ill, then they come here to find the key, and we open the lock at Shiwanda Mountain, which is the most convenient way!"

"Besides, Lao Jiumen must have opened this mechanism back then, and it might have been easier for Mrs. Huo to come, and Xiaohua would not be hurt!"

"However, everything is God's will!" Su Mu said.

"Then the question is, how does this mechanism need to be operated?"

"There is a handle on it. Does it need to be turned?" Wu Jing asked.

"If it was really that simple, it wouldn't be called an agency!" Xiaohua retorted angrily.

Wu Jing shrugged and subconsciously rubbed his fingers on the armrest.

I thought to myself, it doesn't matter if I touch it anyway, this thing can't be so fragile, and I can touch something just by touching it casually.

However, when he picked it up with his hand, he found that it was stained with a layer of black granular stuff.

It looks quite disgusting. Wu Jing subconsciously wanted to get this thing down quickly.

Just twist it with your fingers.

As a result, with this twist, the thing fell apart in my hand.

turned into smaller red particles.

Wu Jing took it close to his nose and smelled it.

I shivered for a moment.

"This, there seems to be blood on this iron plate!"

"I just accidentally touched it, look!" he said, showing his palm.

"Is there blood? How come there is blood?" The four-character brother and the others subconsciously moved further away from the iron plate.

Su Mu and Xiao Hua walked in quickly and reached out to touch it.

"Yes, it's blood!"

"And some of the blood stains still look very fresh. It must have been done not long ago!" Xiao Hua said.

He had just checked all the other places on the iron plate.

The conclusion is that it is basically covered with blood.

"Do you think this was left by the old Jiumen or by the group of people we dug out just now?" Xiaohua asked Su Mu.

"I think both, if they are not from the same group!" Su Mu said.

"Then what is the function of this blood? Is it human blood or animal blood?" Xiaohua continued to ask.

"Blood is a medium, the medium that opens the mechanism!" Su Mu said.

Upon hearing his words, Xiaohua's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, you are right."

"Why didn't I think of that? We should try it!"

"But, what should we try with? There is no ready-made blood!"

Just when Xiaohua was anxious, Su Mu said to Wu Jing.

"Brother Jing, let me borrow your kettle!"

Wu Jing took off the kettle and handed it to Su Mu.

Su Mu opened the lid and started pouring water on the iron plate.

As soon as the water reaches the iron plate, it begins to flow along the lines on it.

Then it flowed all the way down and gathered at the seam below.

I have to say that the process of water flowing looks very beautiful.

The designs of the ancients are indeed pleasing to the eye!

Wu Jing and the others watched this scene without blinking, and they were all stunned.

As the water flow increased, there was a sound of hinges coming from the chain below.

But the sound stopped after ringing for a few times and became silent.

"What...what's going on? We thought wrong and it doesn't work?"

"Is there still not enough water?" Xiaohua asked anxiously.

"It should be a water problem. Blood is more viscous than water. Only when the viscosity reaches a certain level can this mechanism be activated!"

"So, we need a lot of blood now!" Su Mu said.

"That's easy to say. No matter what kind of animal blood is needed, I can ask my guys to get it!" Xiao Hua said.

"But...if it requires human blood, it might be a bit troublesome!"

Su Mu shook his head.

"It shouldn't be human blood. If it were human blood, it wouldn't be possible for someone to be killed every time this mechanism is opened!"

"Otherwise, who would have so much blood to shed?" (End of Chapter)
