The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 187 The Weird Room

Linglong looked at the depression on the door, thoughtfully said:

"This seems to be the symbol of the morning star. Our Dakong school of stargazing has absorbed part of Western knowledge. They use this shape to represent the morning star."

Isn't Venus the Venus?
Venus, on the other hand, has a more well-known name in the Celestial Dynasty.

—— Taibai Jinxing.

But after thinking about it, this is no longer on the earth, Venus is definitely not related to Venus...

Putting aside this random thinking, it is obvious that if you want to pass through this door, you must find something that fits the shape of the depression and stuff it in.

But where is this thing...?
Turning around and looking inside the room, there are quite a few places where things can be hidden.

"Search separately?"

"Let's go, if there is any danger, it will be troublesome."

Lin Tianci still decided to be on the safe side, after all, this is not a game, and he only has one life, so it is easy for a blind man to go to the underworld as soon as he opens his eyes.

He walked to the bookshelf first, and casually pulled out a book as thick as a brick.

The cover of the book is some kind of leather with gold on the corners. This binding method is completely different from Eastern Shenzhou.

Turning over a few pages, the text described in the book is something I have never seen before, and there are a lot of illustrations with unclear meanings. Know what is written in the book.

I looked through the other books on the bookshelf, and found that the situation was similar, and I couldn't find any mechanism or anything, so Brother Lin let go of the bookshelf and moved to the desk next to the bookshelf.

The desk is full of papers, and a lot of incomprehensible things are described with illustrations similar to those in the book. All the papers are piled up there in a mess.

Lin Tianci flipped through it casually, and a pen fell out from between the papers on the table.

"what is this?"

Before it landed, Linglong grabbed the pen and asked in doubt.

Eastern Shenzhou uses writing brushes for writing, and it is indeed the first time I have seen fountain pens.

"It should be a pen, for writing."

"Steel... pen? Godsend you have seen it?"

"more or less."

She prevaricated, but Linglong was very interested in fountain pens.

"How does this thing work?"

"Take off the cap of the pen, yes, that's the one, and just write."

Linglong grabbed a piece of paper, wrote a few times casually, and soon left thin and long black lines on the paper.

I don't know how many years it has been put, but the ink in this thing is still usable.

"What a broken pen, it doesn't work."

She pinches the fountain pen the way she pinches a brush, but of course it doesn't work.

Lin Tianci wanted to demonstrate it, but he was a little awkward holding the pen. After all, he has always used a brush to write and draw symbols in this life, and it feels painful to use a pen.

It doesn't matter, anyway, the pen can't be used to draw symbols, Lin Tianci continued to turn over the paper on the table and said:
"You can take it away if you like it, I think it should be fine."

"It looks very delicate, but it's not easy to use, and I don't want it."

As Linglong said, she tossed the pen casually, and the pen fell into the pile of papers on the table, but the moment it fell, it made a sound like it was falling on some heavy object.

This means that there is something hard hiding under the paper.

Lin Tianci pushed aside the obstructing paper and found a transparent disk.

It seems to be made of glass or crystal, and there can be lines and dots of unknown meaning on the disc.

"This... seems to be a star map, right?"

Linglong recognized:
"It should be part of the star map for positioning, but I can't see the specific part."

The function of the star map is to help monks who have just learned stargazing to identify the stars in the sky, but there is no star map engraved on the transparent disc.

"A star map? This room is related to the star map..."

He turned back to look at the astronomical telescope placed in the middle of the room, and it seemed that this was the only one that was the most reliable.

After confirming that there were no more clues on the desk, Lin Tianci took the disc engraved with the star map and walked to the side of the astronomical telescope to check. He found a tenon that could be opened at a position slightly above the observation port. After opening, there was a Slender notch.

I stretched out my hand and compared the size with the disc, and it seemed that it could just fit in.

So what are you waiting for, try it.

The disc was stuffed in casually, but nothing special seemed to happen.

Maybe it's the wrong direction?
Lin Tianci looked into the eyepiece, because the disk was inserted into the tube of the astronomical telescope, so he could not only see the endless starry sky on the ceiling, but also the notches left on the disk.

Could it be that it moved to the position of the star corresponding to the notch?

Feeling that this tip was the most reliable, Lin Tianci simply sat down on the seat behind the eyepiece and turned the wheel on the side of the telescope like operating an anti-aircraft gun. It is a mechanism that controls the pitch and left and right rotation of the telescope.

This is a bit similar to Lianliankan, but the difficulty is much simpler. It didn't take long for Lin Tianci to move to the position where the position of the stars mapped in the eyepiece coincided with the notch on the disk.

The next moment, he saw the stars flash through the eyepiece, and there were a few more notches on the notched transparent disc.

The first time is raw and the second time is familiar, and it is processed according to the law again to find the corresponding mobile astronomical telescope of the stars.This time, there was the sound of the box opening behind him.

Lin Tianci looked back, and the bookshelf he had checked before was opened left and right like a door, revealing the space behind the bookshelf.

It was a depression about a meter or so, and there was a... box in it?
Or more properly called a box, which looks like it's made of wood, with metal wrapped around the corners.

Lin Tianci moved over and tried to move.

The box was unexpectedly light, even Brother Lin could easily lift it up.

Putting it on the ground, Linglong sized it up and said:

"This is like a very delicate mechanism box."

What Linglong said was not unreasonable. Although it looked like an ordinary square wooden box from the outside, if you looked carefully, you could find that there were many noteworthy mechanisms on the box.

For example, three movable buttons and tracks can be seen on one side of the box. The buttons are engraved with triangles, squares, and circles. There are two buttons of each type, and the distribution is also out of order.

Triangular squares and circles are also engraved on the side of the button, but it doesn't match the button's pattern.

Obviously, this is to ask people to move the button to the matching pattern position through the track. It is a relatively common and simple puzzle solving game. Because there is only one track, it is necessary to consider which button to move first.

It's not difficult, Lin Tianci solved it in less than 3 minutes, the problem is that it made him feel like he was playing a puzzle game.

When he moved the buttons to the correct position, a baffle popped open on one side of the box, revealing the dense mechanical gear structure inside. Some of them were meshing with each other and rotating, while others were isolated.There are still three gears of different sizes placed on the slide rails. It is necessary to consider the size of the gears and the order in which these movable gears are used to drive all the gears.

It's not an illusion, it really feels more and more like a puzzle game.

This step is not difficult. Lin Tianci didn't play many games in his previous life, but he has never eaten pork, but he has also seen pigs run, and he has watched the boss's video to clear the level.

Besides, the mechanism settings that have appeared so far are very simple, as long as they are not fooled, they should not be stopped.

Unlocking these two mechanisms, the box suddenly cracked a gap, and then the gap became bigger and bigger, and the whole box opened in all directions like a flower, revealing the inside...

—another wooden box.

It feels... like there's no end to it.

According to this routine, open all the organs of the entire box step by step, and finally you can get the key or prompt to open the door, but opening it step by step is obviously a waste of brain and time.

Lin Tianci picked up the box and shook it left and right.

There was a slight sound of metal clashing inside, as if something heavy was inside the box.

Then he threw the box on the ground and stomped on it several times.

Although our brother Lin is weak at all, and his physical strength is much worse than that of the same monks, but the box itself is made of wood, and it is not something wooden boards can resist with mana protecting his ankles.

Accompanied by the crackling sound of wooden planks, it didn't take long for that delicate box to become a pile of rubbish such as wood chips, gears and springs all over the floor.

This is called puzzle solving! (physics)
Solving the puzzle step by step is too painful, every time I watch the puzzle game, brother Lin always wants to complain.

Obviously, it can be solved directly with violence, why bother with this brain?

In a sense, this is also a smart performance. Anyway, reality is not a puzzle game, so there is no need to follow its routine.

He took off the Ryuuan Sword from his waist, used the scabbard to poke through the wreckage a few times, and picked out a metal block that was clearly different from gears and springs.

It has the shape of a six-pointed star, with a slender handle on the back.

From the appearance, it should be the key to open the door.

Brother Lin put it in the recess on the door on the other side of the astronomical telescope. With the sound of the gear moving, the opened recess closed again. He heard the sound of the gear turning, and took a half step back.

Then the entire door shook and slowly retracted downwards.

Confirming that there seemed to be no danger, Brother Lin poked his head out from the door quietly. At that moment, the golden light also appeared on the wall outside the door, and it spread along the spiral downward stairs.

"I admit it's very cool, but it's so painful to open the door, does anyone really live here?"

Brother Lin couldn't help complaining.

Linglong asked:
"What do you mean by forceful?"

She had long wondered what that meant.

Brother Lin thought about it for a long time before choking out a sentence.

"Uh... probably means high-end atmosphere and high-grade."

No matter whether Linglong is satisfied with this answer or not, Lin Tianci doubts the purpose of building this castle just because of the trouble of entering the gate.

The living environment naturally pays attention to convenience. No matter how tall the design looks, it is ultimately set up for this purpose, at most adding some decorative meaning.

However, the practice of unlocking the door and unlocking the box is really incomprehensible. It can be used as a fun game at ordinary times, but in case of emergency...

——What should I do if I have diarrhea and need to go to the toilet urgently?
