Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Chapter 181 The Eight Treasures of Taoism (please read and subscribe)

"Did you find anything?" Wang Qiang turned around with his mouth and eyes askew, almost startling Lin Yi.

The scorpion venom was really powerful, and he had already taken the antidote, and he had symptoms similar to the sequelae of a stroke on his face.

When the crisis is over, it will be necessary to give him a few injections.

"There is an eight-treasure turning mechanism lock here, and a chain is tied to the lock."

"Is there a lock? Oh, that's great. There is a lock only if there is a door. Doesn't that mean we are in the right place!"

Seeing this situation, Qian Sheng and Wang Qiang finally felt somewhat comforted.

"However, this mechanism lock is not so easy to open. You have to push it for a while, let me study how to open this thing."

"Then you have to hurry up, these guys don't intend to give us too much time."

Lin Yi nodded and asked Wukong to hold the bright flashlight above his head and aim it at the machine lock.

The so-called eight treasures are because there are eight different patterns on it.

Buddhism and Taoism each have their own set of eight auspicious treasures.

A vase, a treasure lid, a pair of fishes, a lotus, a right-handed spiral, an auspicious knot, a banner of victory, and a wheel of dharma.

These are the eight auspicious things of Tibetan Buddhism.

The eight treasures of Taoism are: fan, fish drum, lotus, gourd, sword, flower basket, transverse flute, and yin and yang board.

It comes from the eight magical instruments held in the hands of the "Eight Immortals" of Taoism.

The eight treasure mechanism lock in front of me happens to be engraved with the pattern of the eight treasures of Taoism.

But Lin Yi didn't dare to take action at this moment.

If both the statue and the lotus seat were made by an expert in the early Tang Dynasty, then the eight-treasure turning mechanism lock must also be made by this expert.

The problem is that the front line for the "Eight Immortals" to really "debut in a group" is very long.

The earliest Tieguai Li came from the Sui Dynasty, and the last uncle Cao Guo was already from the Song Dynasty.

The other six appear almost from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Just now he confirmed with Qian Sheng again and again that all the furnishings here, no matter how late, could not be later than the first year of Kaiyuan.

Could it be that this person really has the ability to predict the future?
"Old Lin, what the hell are you talking about? It's driving! If it can't be done, give it a shovel and smash the counting ball."

Wang Qiang urged while dealing with the group of scorpions in front.

"I would like to smash it with a shovel, but once the lock core inside this thing is forcibly damaged by external force, it will immediately lock and turn into a lump of copper. If you can bring in the entire angle grinder, I won't. Mind breaking it open."

When Wang Qiang heard this, he immediately fell silent.

"Master Lin, let me tell you, at this juncture, we should not hesitate. If we delay for a while longer, I'm afraid there will be no chance of survival at all."

What Qian Sheng said was correct.

This is their only chance right now, if they continue to delay like this, they will not be able to withstand the attack of the scorpion swarm, and all three of them will have to confess here.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi stabilized his mind.

Put aside distracting thoughts and concentrate on studying this mechanism lock.

Eight kinds of magic weapons, each living on one floor.

If you want to unlock this lock, you must first understand what principle the person who designed this lock designed the mechanism in the first place.

Since they are the "Eight Treasures of Taoism", these magical weapons are equivalent to the incarnations of the "Eight Immortals".

The Eight Immortals, these are all familiar figures among the Chinese folk.

And this mechanism locker, in the final analysis, still can't get rid of the way of yin and yang, gossip, and five elements' mutual generation and mutual restraint.

The Eight Immortals also coincide with the art of Bagua, and each represents a hexagram.

Lu Dongbin belongs to the image of dry gold, and the symbol is a sword;
Tieguai plum belongs to the image of cashing gold, and its symbol is a gourd;
He Xiangu belongs to the elephant of Kun and Earth, and the symbol is a lotus flower;
Cao Guojiu belongs to the symbol of Gen Tu, and his symbol is a yin and yang board;

Zhang Guolao belongs to the image of shaking wood, and its symbol is a fishing drum;
Lan Caihe belongs to the symbol of Sunda wood, and its symbol is a flower basket;
Han Xiangzi belongs to the Kanshui symbol, and his symbol is a flute;
Zhongliquan belongs to the image of Lihuo, and its symbol is a fan.

According to their current position, they were facing due north.

In terms of Tianbagua, the north belongs to Kangua, and the five elements belong to water.

If you use the direction as the basis for judgment, turn the flute that marks the "image of Kanshui" to the bottom. Once it is determined, it cannot be changed.

As long as the first step is wrong, one step is wrong, and every step is wrong, the mechanism will be completely locked.

According to the innate Bagua, the north belongs to the Gan position, and the five elements belong to metal.

Calculated by these two methods, there are completely two results.

And he only has one chance!
At this moment, he turned his head and saw that Qian Sheng and Wang Qiang were dealing with the scorpions. Fortunately, the area of ​​the diamond umbrella was large enough to completely cover the three of them.

But these scorpions may be too eager to taste human flesh. No matter how they fight back, they just won't retreat.

Almost all the equipment that can be used in the bag is used.

Even the parachute rope used for survival was set on fire and thrown out.

"Have you untied it, Old Lin?"

Wang Qiang shouted at the top of his lungs.

Lin Yi shook his head depressedly.

"There is no idea at all. If you make one wrong step, this thing will be completely locked and cannot be opened."

"Master Lin, don't be discouraged. Keep your mind steady and look around to see if there are any reminders. Since this expert left this mark on purpose, he must be trying to help us out of trouble."

As he said that, Qian Sheng took out a pack of snake medicine from his pocket, put it in a mineral water bottle, fiddled with it a few times, poked his head out from under the umbrella, and sprinkled the snake medicine on the umbrella leaves.

Wang Qiang clenched the handle of the umbrella with both hands, turned around suddenly, and threw all the hidden-tailed scorpions off.

"This is the last pack. If this guy continues to climb up, we will have to pinch it ourselves."

Those hidden-tailed scorpions that were sprayed by the dissolved snake medicine were stimulated by the medicine, gave up their attack, turned around and fled to the stone statue closest to them.

Maybe these stone statues are their nests underneath and are connected to each other.

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly discovered that the two stone statues closest to the lotus platform were different from the other stone statues.

The way these two Shi Wenzhong held their swords was very strange.

Ordinary Wen Zhong holds the sword hilt up and down with both hands, with the blade facing to the left and right.

The angle of the blades of the two Shi Wenzhong's swords was slightly tilted towards the lotus platform, and the tip of the sword did not touch the ground.

The most important thing is the base under his feet, which is not a square, but an octagon.

The placement of the stone statues pays attention to symmetry, not to mention the specifications of the imperial mausoleum here!
It can't just be that there are two stone statues with different shapes here?
This accidental discovery suddenly flashed a thought in Lin Yi's mind:
Could this be an important reminder left by predecessors?
He didn't think about it anymore, and immediately borrowed the bright flashlight from Wukong, jumped up, climbed on the lotus platform with one hand, and looked into the distance with the flashlight.

Sure enough, he didn't expect it.

Every two stone statues, there will be a statue with an octagonal base, and the shape is slightly different from other stone statues.
