Chapter 168: Things Inside the Trick Box
"What do you say is in this trick box?" Zhang Yang stared at the things in Li Xiao's hands and said.
"I don't have clairvoyance, how could I know?" Da Zhuang said.
"Hey, do you think it might be a treasure map?" Zhang Yang said with a smile, full of longing.
"Not to mention, according to what Brother Zhang Yang said, there is really such a possibility! Brother Xiao, if this is really a treasure map, let's post it." Da Zhuang said with bright eyes.
"Just a dream. Even if there is a treasure map inside, it is not certain whether we can find the treasure? Taking a step back, even if we find the treasure, whether we can get it is another matter. There are legends inside the treasure. Don't lose your life when the time comes." Li Xiao couldn't help but hit.
While talking about the treasure, Li Xiao couldn't help but think of the catacomb he saw on the mountain. It seems that there is the real treasure.
"Everyone, stop daydreaming. This kind of mechanism box is estimated to have been lost for hundreds of years. Unless it is violently smashed open, otherwise, it is basically impossible for a few of us to open this mechanism box." things."
Zhang Yang didn't mind pouring cold water on everyone, and told the truth directly.
"That's right, who among us can open this kind of mechanism box?" Da Zhuang asked.
In an instant, everyone's eyes shifted to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang felt a little uncomfortable being watched by the three pairs of eyes. He said, "It all depends on what I do. I just have a superficial understanding of the lock box, but I don't know how to open it at all!"
Da Zhuang also said: "I can't help it. If I knew how to open it, this lock box wouldn't have stayed in my house for so many years."
Li Xiao took the mechanism box in his hand, looked it up and down, and said, "Let me do it!"
"Brother Xiao, can you open this kind of trick box?" Zhang Yang looked at Li Xiao in surprise, and couldn't help asking. In his impression, the people who can open this kind of mechanism box are at least those archaeologists or experts who specialize in these things.
Li Xiao is so young, how could he open such a box?
Zhang Yang didn't really believe Li Xiao's words.
"I learned the Book of Changes and Bagua from my grandfather since I was a child. This puzzle box seems small, but its origin cannot escape the scope of the Five Elements and Bagua." Li Xiao explained.
Hearing this, Zhang Yang immediately looked at Li Xiao with admiration.
This guy is so young, not only has excellent medical skills, but also understands the set of gossip in the Book of Changes, which is really powerful.
Looking at the trick box in his hand, Li Xiao directly opened the see-through eyes.
In an instant, the surface of the mechanism box became blurred, and the mechanism inside appeared directly in front of his eyes.
Li Xiao lightly pressed on the raised pattern on the mechanism box.
There was only a soft click, and then the pattern on the mechanism box disappeared, replaced by something similar to a compass.
Seeing how easily Li Xiao changed the mechanism box, several people showed excited expressions on their faces.
"Brother Xiao, take a quick look, what's in this puzzle box?" Zhang Yang said most excitedly.
"Damn, what is this?" Da Zhuang couldn't help saying after seeing what was on the surface of the mechanism box, his face changed.
"This is a compass, but this compass is misplaced. If you want to open the mechanism box, you must restore this compass." Li Xiao explained directly,
"Brother Xiao, hurry up and recover?" Zhang Yang urged.
"It's not that simple, just wait, I'm going to calculate it." After speaking, he closed his eyes, and kept twitching his fingers.
Seeing Li Xiao's appearance, none of them dared to speak, but just looked at him quietly.
Facing the compass on the puzzle box, Zhang Yang and the others stared wide-eyed, completely ignorant of the meaning contained in it.
Half an hour later, Li Xiao finally opened his eyes.
"Brother Xiao, how about it, can you unlock this mechanism box?" Zhang Yang couldn't help asking.
"Let's see, I can't guarantee it."
When he was speaking, he was using his clairvoyance ability to carefully look at every part inside the mechanism box, every broken spring, and at the same time, he was deducing the success rate of the method he made.
Zhang Yang was a little puzzled by Li Xiao's actions, and asked, "Brother Xiao, why are you being so careful? If it really doesn't work, just do it again. Anyway, the things are here with us, so we can't escape!"
Li Xiao shook his head, and said with some depression: "It would be great if this is the case. But the problem is, once the cracking fails, the mechanism inside the mechanism box will destroy the contents, and then our work will be wasted."
After a while, Li Xiao finally started to try to crack the mechanism box.
He began to spin the compass on the surface of the puzzle box.
Along with the creaking and rubbing sound of the compass, great changes took place inside the mechanism box.
Gradually, in Li Xiao's clairvoyant eyes, there were fewer and fewer obstacles preventing them from opening the box, and Li Xiao knew that he was only one step away from success.
The moment the inner compass was rotated, there was a clicking sound from the box, as if something had been untied.
laugh!
There seemed to be a sound of air leakage, and a crack appeared on the surface of the mechanism box.
"Open it, Brother Xiao opened this trick box, long live Brother Xiao!" Zhang Yang shouted excitedly.
"Brother Xiao, hurry up and see what's in this trick box, I'm really anxious to death." Da Zhuang said suddenly
Li Xiao took out a small blade, then inserted the tip of the blade into the gap, pried lightly, and the lid of the mechanism box opened in response to the sound, directly revealing the contents inside the box.
The eyes of several people were focused on the mechanism box at the same time, no, to be precise, they were looking at the things inside the mechanism box.
"Haha, I just said that there is a treasure map in the puzzle box, right? I didn't expect that I guessed it right." Zhang Yang said excitedly after seeing what was inside the puzzle box.
"It's not sure if it's a treasure map!"
"It must be a treasure map, otherwise why would it be wrapped in a parchment?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically.
In the mechanism box, there is only a scroll made of sheepskin, which seems a bit old looking at the style.
Li Xiao took it out, spread it flat on the table, and said, "Let's take a look!"
Zhang Yang was the first to come in. When he saw that the sheepskin scroll was full of words and no images at all, his expression became very ugly.
"Damn, this is basically a recipe. I really thought it was a treasure map just now?" Da Zhuang said a little depressed.
Li Xiao took the sheepskin scroll and looked at it carefully.
This turned out to be a recipe for hot pot base and pot base.
Hearing that the sheepskin roll is the recipe for hot pot, Zhang Yang squeezed in immediately and shouted loudly, "Let me see, I'm the chef."
