Chapter 1556 Nine-Headed Magatama(1/2)
Although it is said to be a pharmacy, the building here is extremely luxurious.
The entrance is a long suspended corridor. The hollows on both sides of the corridor are shrouded in a layer of light white mist, making it difficult to see how deep it is.
After passing the corridor, there is a circular walkway, with stairs in the middle leading to higher places. There is still a circular walkway above, but there are branch roads extending out on both sides, each leading to a door, and there are still stairs in the middle, leading to the third floor.
The third floor is a circular platform, with a row of cabinets at the front, most likely to store the elixirs refined by Yun Zhongjun. At the back is a resting place, with a golden mural painted on the wall. Look What it depicts should be a mirage.
In addition, the entire room is filled with misty white mist, which at first glance seems to be floating in the air, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.
When Shao Yu saw this, he not only laughed and said mockingly:
"This Mr. Yun Zhong is really very energetic. He is filled with immortal energy in a pharmacy. Do you really think you can refine the elixir of immortality?"
Shi Lan had no intention of paying attention to these details at this time. After looking around, she frowned and said:
"Brother, he left a password and must have come in early. I don't know where he is now..."
"Woooooooo!!!"
At this time, Tianming on Shaoyu's back was pouting frantically, trying to make some noise.
Shao Yu heard Tian Ming's groaning voice and turned to look at him quickly, only to see Tian Ming looking up crazily and winking at him.
Shi Lan Shaoyu immediately turned his head and looked up, and was so shocked that he involuntarily took a step back.
On the roof, I saw a huge and slender machine snake with a winding and twisted posture. The entire body was composed of rectangular metal blocks connected one by one. The whole body was slightly green in color and glowed with a layer of silver light.
Above the entrance of the pharmacy is the tail of the trap snake, and above the medicine cabinet on the third floor platform is the head of the trap snake.
And the most special thing about it is precisely its head - it has more than one head!
Shao Yu carefully observed the structure of this mechanism snake, frowned and analyzed, "It looks very similar in structure to the mechanism snake driven by Gong Loser before, but it actually has one, two... a total of nine Big!"
Shi Lan followed, "I once heard a legend that there is a snake with nine heads and nine tails, and its name is Nine-Headed Magatama."
"Nine-headed Magatama..." Shaoyu repeated the name, made a note of it in his mind, and decided to use this as the nickname for this trap snake.
"It is estimated that this is also made by Gongshujia's domineering mechanism technique combined with Yin Yang technique. It must be quite powerful. It is probably placed here to guard Yunxiao Pavilion."
"We have to be careful, it's best not to disturb it."
Shi Lan nodded, agreeing with Shao Yu's judgment.
But here comes the question, how can we not disturb this nine-headed magatama?
The good answer is don't know.
The only person present who knew how to use mechanisms was Tian Ming. Unfortunately, his account was banned. Unless he could direct Shao Yu and the others to fight for him through his eyes, it would be basically useless.
Shao Yu and Shi Lan could only use the simplest method - walking gently.
To be honest, they both thought it was nonsense to use this method of dealing with humans to deal with machine beasts, but they really had no choice.
The two of them, led by Tian Ming, tiptoed and moved slowly towards the third platform step by step, controlling all the muscles in their bodies not to make any sound, and even breathing as low as possible.
A journey of up to a hundred steps took them both of them a long time before they finally reached the front of the medicine cabinets.
After approaching these closely arranged curved cabinets and seeing the words engraved on them clearly, the two of them were sure that they had guessed correctly. This was indeed the place where the elixirs were stored.
These cabinets are generally divided into three categories, which are what Yun Zhongjun said before about the three levels of his alchemy skills - the Ghost Control Pill, the Real Person Pill and the Immortal Gathering Pill.
Shaoyu's eyes quickly scanned the small cabinet doors that were also engraved with small characters, and he saw that the category of ghost-control pills included the zinnia and soul-leaving pills mentioned by Yun Zhongjun.
"This side belongs to the category of Ghost Control Pill, and the two sides should be the Real Person Pill and the Immortal Gathering Pill."
Shi Lan followed and said, "According to my speculation, Qingshu Pill should belong to the category of Zhenren Pill."
The two of them quickly searched in the category of Zhenren Dan, and after a while they found the small medicine box labeled Qingshu Dan.
"Ha! Found it, Qingshu Dan!" Shao Yu grinned and stretched out his hand to pull out the small drawer.
However, Tianming felt like having an epileptic seizure at this time, shaking wildly and trying hard to make a sound.
Shi Lan keenly noticed Tianming's little movements, immediately realized what he meant, and hurriedly stopped him:
"Shaoyu, don't move!"
Shao Yu was also very alert and immediately stopped moving, but the medicine drawer had been pulled out a little.
The two of them hurriedly turned back to look at Tianming, only to see him looking up crazily again.
The two of them knew something was wrong and hurriedly raised their heads to look at the nine-headed magatama above.
They saw a huge snake head directly above the medicine cabinet, and the most terrible thing was that the snake head's eyes lit up red.
Shi Lan was shocked and said, "Not good!"
Shaoyu also understood and said angrily, "Damn it, I didn't expect that this medicine cabinet was the mechanism that triggered the Nine-Headed Magatama!"
After two sentences, another snake head's eyes lit up red.
Seeing this, Shao Yu guessed, "I think when all nine of its head eyes light up, the Nine-Headed Magatama will activate."
"We have to find a way to stop the mechanism before that happens!"
Shi Lan guessed, "If my brother has been here, he might have left some clues. Look for them quickly!"
The two of them began to widen their eyes again, searching intensively for possible hidden symbols.
After nearly half of the snake head's eyes lit up, Shao Yu finally found a row of small strange symbols in the gap between the two medicine drawers, and quickly called Shi Lan:
"Shi Lan! Come on, come on!"
Shi Lan didn't dare to talk nonsense, so she leaned over and took a look, and immediately recognized the meaning of the symbol:
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's a series of numbers."
"Three, eleven, thirteen, twenty-nine, thirty-one!"
"What does it mean?"
The sudden string of numbers left Shi Lan completely at a loss.
Shao Yu's eyes quickly swept over the medicine cabinet, and he slapped his hands and suddenly said:
"These medicine cabinets have exactly ten drawers in a row, which correspond to ten numbers, one to ten, eleven to twenty."
"If you open the drawers in the correct order, you may be able to stop the mechanism, and these numbers should be the password!"
Shi Lan felt that Shao Yu's guess made some sense, but not much.
However, the situation was urgent and they didn't have much time to think about it. They had to treat the dead horse as a live doctor.
"Let's try it first!"
The two of them divided the work and cooperated, one on the left and one on the right, and started counting and opening the drawers at the same time.
Three, eleven, thirteen, twenty-nine, thirty-one...
Five drawers were taken care of by the two of them in the blink of an eye.
After the drawer was pulled out, Shao Yu did hear the faint sound of the gear mechanism operating, which seemed to be working.
"The agency responded, we guessed it right!" Shao Yu said with a smile on his face.
Shi Lan still frowned, "But the agency still hasn't stopped... I'm afraid the numbers are incomplete!"
Seeing that the nine-headed magatama's eyes were almost all lit up, the two of them were a little desperate. Who could guess the numbers behind this?
Tian Ming, who was behind the two of them, had a dazed look in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.
Three, eleven, thirteen...
Such familiar numbers, I seem to have heard of them somewhere...
Tianming's thoughts moved forward little by little, and he remembered the scene when Master Ban taught him the art of mechanism not long ago.
That was after Master Ban cracked the Black Dragon Scroll.
The outer layer of the Black Dragon Scroll is encrypted by the Six-Path Lock designed by the Gongshu Family. This lock, which combines the Yin and Yang theory, happens to be an exquisite mechanism creation, and it also involves the Gongshu Family and the Yin Yang Family, two mortal enemies of the Mohist family.
So it was chosen by the class master as his own teaching tool.
Although the Six-Path Jiazi Lock is too sophisticated to be used to teach beginners, who makes Tianming an out-and-out genius of machine arts?
Once Master Ban taught him, he really learned it.
However, he himself found this stuff boring and didn't care much about it.
Even so, after just hearing a few numbers, Tian Ming immediately recalled the contents of the Six-Path Jiazi Lock, which shows his high talent in mechanism arts.
Thinking of the key points, Tianming immediately deduced the subsequent numbers in his mind, struggled hard to open his mouth and said:
"I'll die (fifty-five)!"
"I'll die (fifty-five)!"
Hearing Tianming's unclear voice, Shaoyu hurriedly leaned towards Tianming's mouth:
"What did you say?"
"Five to five!" Tianming tried his best to speak clearly.
Although it was still unclear, but after all it was just a number, Shao Yu easily guessed it and hurriedly directed Shi Lan:
To be continued...
