List of strange talismans

Chapter 148
Gu Xiuya noticed that Xuan Gong frowned slightly, and although the expression on his face was quite calm, his eyes were frequently looking at the stone gate, obviously he was not expecting the situation behind the gate.

This is also normal, after all, they did not have the opportunity to remove the stone beam before and carefully inspect the structure behind the stone gate.

It is rare to be able to analyze the weak points of Shimen through the external structure, and it is impossible to predict everything.

Gu Xiuya guessed that Xuangong's initial plan was mostly similar to the method he had heard before, so Xuanding and the others chose to remove the stone beams for inspection.

It's just that Xuangong obviously didn't expect that the natural stone at the door was so huge that it couldn't be pushed from the outside at all.

Thinking of this, he felt somewhat amused—Xuan Gong, ah Xuan Gong, is this the so-called you know everything well?

How long has it been since you keep saying that there is nowhere to stop you... and you slap your face in the face.

He was thinking, and suddenly saw Xuan Gong looking towards him.

The eyes of the two sides met for a moment, Xuan Gong said: "Junior brother, I think you are interested in watching, but did you think of a good way?"

Gu Xiuya said: "It's not a good way, but it's a bit of a stupid way, I'm afraid I will be laughed at by my senior brother."

"Hey! Junior brother, what are you talking about? Although I have a good plan, but in the end, I am alone. If you think of something, you might as well just say it. Let's add it up."

Xuan Gong is shameless enough, obviously helpless, but he insists on refusing to admit it, with a look of "I am giving you a chance to show", trying to get Gu Xiuya to provide a feasible solution.

In fact, this is a common problem of arrogant people. Arrogance is usually accompanied by overly strong self-esteem. Such people will take their face very seriously. It is more uncomfortable for them to pull down their face and admit their incompetence than to kill them.

Gu Xiuya didn't care about this, he didn't come to give Xuangong a psychological counseling class, as long as he can achieve his goal, it doesn't matter whoever gets the credit.

Besides... He asked for a lot, and it was really necessary to show his worth more, so that he could open his mouth to share the spoils.

Thinking of this, he said: "Senior brother, you can order someone to find two pillars and hit them at the upper and lower corners of the stone gate... The contact part between the stone behind the door and the stone gate is in a line, and there is no contact surface to disperse the force. With the strength of the real body, as long as the impact continues for a while, it should be able to crack the stone door and destroy it."

Hearing this, Xuangong shook his head: "Little brother, you think things are too simple. The stone gate in front of you is not ordinary. This stone is replaced by Huntian stone. It is said that it is one of the cornerstones for casting the fairy mountain. It is extremely strong. I taught seniors to exchange a large number of outer alchemy and other people with great difficulty... let alone hitting it with a cylinder, even if I waited in turn and smashed it with a hammer for a day, I might not be able to smash it out. Come the gap."

Huntian stone?
Gu Xiuya frowned slightly.

He really didn't expect that the two big bluestones in front of him, which looked ordinary, had some secrets behind them.

This is the most troublesome part of traveling across the world. There are too many strange things in different worlds, and it is impossible to judge based on past experience. Even a stone or a piece of wood may be outrageous beyond imagination.

"What if you choose to smash the wall?" Gu Xiuya changed his mind.

"No. In the previous eight-song retreat, we secretly used iron awls to chisel through the wall, and found that under the ordinary limestone wall, there is a layer of muddy stone. It cannot be broken by ordinary means."

"...So, the ground is also there?"

"Yes."

Xuangong nodded slightly, and replied: "This is also the reason. I know that Xuanzhen suddenly revealed the news to us with ulterior motives, so I came here to find out... so strictly guarded, if there is nothing important in it, I will Do not believe."

Gu Xiuya also thought so.

He guessed that as long as he solved the problem in front of him, he would not be far from achieving his goal.

While his thoughts were turning, Gu Xiuya took a deep breath, suppressed the impatience in his heart, and returned to the door to observe again.

a while.

His eyes fell on both sides of the stone door that had been polished into a smooth semi-cylindrical shape, and then he found that there was an obvious trace of moisture on the vertical part of the ground below the stone door.

Was it the water splashed just now?

no, no...

Gu Xiuya squatted down and took a look, and found that the wet marks spread from the inside to the outside, and he could feel the obvious temperature difference when he touched it with his hands.

This is... the pool water is coming up?
Gu Xiuya frowned slightly, and looked down carefully for a moment.

However, the gap is really too small, even if he is lying on the ground, he can't see the specific structure inside.

Just when he wanted to change the direction to observe, he inadvertently found that the moss growing on the side of the covered bridge was strange, showing a clear division of upper and lower areas, the upper area was green, and the lower area was brown, with a clear distinction.

Gu Xiuya's heart skipped a beat, and he seemed to realize something.

He hurriedly turned back to the keyhole, put his ear to it and listened, and soon heard a slight shaking of the chain coming from inside.

And, more slightly, the sound of running water.

That's it
Gu Xiuya felt that he had grasped a key point.

"Brothers, can I trouble you to pry these floor tiles up for me?"

He turned his head, pointed to the position by his feet, and said.

Xuan Gong signaled, Xuan Ding and the others immediately stepped forward, following the guidance of Gu Xiu Ya, smashed the floor tiles around the stone gate to pieces with a few punches.

Gu Xiuya picked up the gravel and saw a layer of rammed earth.

He stretched out his hand and poked it down, only to find that the muddy ground was surprisingly hard. Even with all his strength, he couldn't poke it to the bottom.

Seeing this, Xuangong stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pressed it to the ground.

His hands lighted up in a light blue haze, and the real essence shot out from his fingertips like fireworks, helping his fingers to pierce through the hard soil like a bamboo, and slowly penetrated.

an inch...

two inches...

Boom!
Suddenly, a sound as if an iron ingot hit a steel plate came from under the soil.

Gu Xiuya saw the corner of Xuangong's mouth twitch, and the movement of his hands stopped instantly.

"...Huntian Stone?"

Xuangong nodded, his face was calm and breezy, but his hands were trembling slightly.

Huntian stone has a strong energy-absorbing and anti-shock effect, which is one of the reasons why it is indestructible.He accidentally bumped into it just now, and his fingers were broken.

"I didn't expect that Huntian stone was paved under this covered bridge. I originally thought that only Mingxin Pavilion was built with Huntian stone, and the exterior was made of ordinary stone. The eight poems are really amazing. How can I get in?"

Xuan Ding was beside him with a frowning face, and with his ferocious real body, he looked like an Infernal Evil Ghost.

Xuangong glanced at Gu Xiuya: "Junior Brother, do you have any other ideas?"

Gu Xiuya heard the words, thought for a while, and asked instead of answering: "Brother, please think about it, what time did the eight songs come to Mingxin Pavilion in the past?"

Xuangong was puzzled by the question, he didn't understand why Gu Xiuya paid attention to such irrelevant information.

After hesitating for a while, he still replied: "Sometimes it's the time of Yin in the old calendar, and sometimes...Huh?"

In the middle of Xuangong's words, he seemed to think of something, and a look of surprise flashed across his face: "After you said that, I realized that every time Bashou came to Mingxin Pavilion, it was around the Yin time of the old calendar, that is, the Shen time of the new fairy calendar. Why?"

Gu Xiuya didn't answer, but asked again: "Brother, I see that the water in this lotus pond is clear, with few phytoplankton. It doesn't look like stagnant water. Is there a waterway underground?"

Xuan Gong became more and more surprised.

He nodded and said: "The inner pool of Guiyuan Sect is like stars, and there are many water pavilions. In order to prevent rain disasters, when Yinshe Daoist established his residence, he ordered people to design waterways extending in all directions. The height difference between the waterways drives the water flow. Movement, overflowing and overflowing, overflowing and filling, the cycle is not limited to juniors, how did you guess this point?"

"moss."

Gu Xiuya pointed to the side of the covered bridge: "The color of the moss is inconsistent, which means that the water level is constantly changing."

Xuan Gong stepped forward to look at it, his face suddenly revealed: "If you don't tell me, I really didn't find out."

"Brother, I roughly guessed the working principle of the mechanism behind the door."

Gu Xiuya spoke at this moment.

He casually grabbed the chain on the ground, chose a floor tile and carved it: "Look, this is the horizontal line. Above the horizontal line is Mingxin Pavilion. The line parallel to the horizontal line represents the covered bridge."

"I observed the natural stone behind the door before. It was too big and weighed at least seven or eight thousand catties. It is safe to use such a stone to hold the door, but when you want to enter the door, you will be in trouble. big."

"So, I've been thinking about how Bashou breaks the stone open every time he enters the door."

Xuan Gong heard the words and said: "This is also what I can't figure out. I remember that every time Bashou came to Mingxin Pavilion, he always inserted the key into the lock, opened the chain outside the door, and pushed the door. I just opened it, and I didn't see him making any effort, which is really puzzling."

"It's the water power, it's the water power that helped him."

Gu Xiuya clicked on the line representing the covered bridge: "Brother, I guess, the reason why the Huntian stone is paved under the covered bridge is probably to build waterways and divert water into the pavilion."

"There should be a hinge connected to the top of the tapstone. The hinge passes through the beam made of Huntian stone and is connected to a lifting device similar to a waterwheel. This device should be half-submerged and placed in the waterway at the bottom of the pavilion. .”

"When the water level rises, the water from the pool pours into the bottom of the pavilion along the waterway, and the water wheel starts to rotate, pulling the iron chain, and through the principle of leverage, the stone is driven to stand up."

"At this time, without the barrier of the natural stone, naturally, you only need to untie the chain outside, and the door can be easily pushed open."

"And when the water level drops and the water in the channel starts to flow outward, the water wheel will reverse accordingly, driving the natural stone back to the inclined state, and blocking the stone gate."

When Gu Xiuya said this, he drew a circle on the line representing the waterwheel and the chain.

"I guess, somewhere between the chain and the water wheel, there should be an active groove. The plug of the groove is also affected by the water level. When the water level reaches a certain critical value, the plug will be pushed out by the water flow, and the Through the gaps of the chain, it is fixed in the groove, so as to ensure that the stone will always stand upright. The opposite is true when the water level is low."
