Chapter 228 Ancient Mechanism, Divine Compass



"What's wrong?"

Seeing the little yellow-haired boy standing by the door, Ao Xin knew that it must be the little yellow-haired boy who knocked on the door.

But why do I have to wake myself up in the middle of the night?

Looking up and around, there were no zombies or other dangers. Everyone was in a state of confusion, having been awakened.

"Boss, I found something, there might be treasure!"

Although Little Yellow Hair didn't know what the lines under the statue represented, it didn't stop him from exaggerating his discovery.

Ao Xin followed him to the outer courtyard. The little yellow-haired boy pointed at the three stone statues and said:

"Boss, look at the ground beneath the bases of these three stone statues. Is there any light flickering?"

He told Ao Xin all his findings. When he heard that even Zhou Xingjian, who was at the third level, couldn't lift the statue, he felt that the matter was not simple.

"I'll try."

He hugged the statue with both hands and tried to lift it up. The muscles in his arms bulged instantly and the statue was slowly lifted up by him.

I can lift it, but it's very difficult.

"My goodness, what material is this thing made of?"

He is already at the fourth level, and has the added bonus of bloodline. How can Zhou Xingjian compare to him in terms of strength?

But even so, it was still difficult for him to lift it.

Without further hesitation, he entered the human-beast form and felt a little relieved.

He lifted the fallen statue and slowly lowered it, trying to fit the raised lines on the ground.

"Boss, turn left a little, yes, turn a little more!"

Wei Mingxuan took the initiative to lie on the ground to see the fit between the base of the statue and the protrusion on the ground.

Soon, the concave part of the statue's base matched perfectly with the raised lines on the ground, and the lines on the ground were completely inserted into the body of the statue.

Ao Xin let go and waited for a miracle to happen.

However, three minutes passed and nothing happened.

It seemed as if they had merely lifted up the statue.

"No effect?"

He originally thought that this statue was related to the armory hidden somewhere, but he didn't expect this result.

Just as he was thinking, Luo Qingyan said:

"Brother Xin, since the bases of the three statues all have patterns that match the ground, why not lift them up and take a look?"

Ao Xin looked back at her and suddenly thought, if these statues are really related to the armory.

Well, since Luo Qingyan was able to open the armory in her previous life, she should be able to find these tricks in this life.

He followed her instructions and lifted up the other two statues, allowing the faintly shiny patterns on the ground to be inserted into the bodies of the statues.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement.

"Brother, could it be that this is just an ordinary statue, nothing special about it?"

Ao Chen yawned and glanced at the little yellow-haired boy again: "Little Yellow-haired must be making a fuss out of nothing. Where is the treasure here?"

"If there really is a treasure, based on the current layout, there are only two possibilities."

"First, the statue can open a passage in time and space, and the treasure is hidden in a hidden space and time."

"The second is that it's hidden underground! If it's really underground, can't I just go underground and take a look?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into a little mouse and fled underground.

Ao Xin also felt that what she said made sense. Another time and space? She felt that the possibility was not high, but hiding underground was very possible!

He stared at the ground, waiting for Ao Chen's response.

Soon, the little mouse emerged from the ground. Ao Chen, who had transformed into a human form again, looked puzzled and delighted:

"Brother, I can't escape!"

She rubbed her head and said, "There seems to be something below that is not made of earth or stone, blocking my escape."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ao Xin's eyes lit up. So, it was indeed underground!

Otherwise, such a special object would not be buried underground for no reason!

"Come on, dig up this piece of ground! See what's underneath!"

Now that it is confirmed to be underground, it is easy. Just dig it up and you will naturally know what it is!

"Brother Xin, wait a minute!"

Lin Ruoyu hurriedly said, "Brother Xin, I see these statues are all facing different directions. This layout is obviously unreasonable!"

"Normally, they should be facing the same direction, but these three statues are arranged in a triangular shape. I think they should be facing the center! The base underneath should be able to be twisted! Why not give it a try?"

Ao Xin observed the statues and felt that this statement made sense, so he asked Wei Mingxuan and others to connect the midpoints of the three statues and draw lines connecting the midpoints and the statues on the ground.

Then he came behind the statue, grabbed its body and twisted it hard.

squeak!

The friction sound between the base and the ground is so loud that the statue can really twist!

This means that Lin Ruoyu’s guess is very likely to be true!

Soon all three statues were turned towards the center.

The moment the third statue twisted to the center position, a clicking sound was heard, and a golden light appeared on the line they had drawn on the ground!

The light seemed to contain some kind of energy. The dust on the ground was swept away by the light, the smoke and dust dissipated, and even the ground sank three inches!

At this moment, there is a circular compass-like formation on the ground, and there are many incomprehensible patterns and fonts in the compass.

The light emitted by the three statues also illuminated the patterns on the compass formation.

Everyone stepped back and watched this magical scene.

When the entire circular compass was lit up, a cylinder slowly extended from the center.

The cylinder extended only an inch and then stopped.

Ao Xin stepped on the huge compass and went forward to check it out.

He saw that there was a long groove at the top of the cylinder, and above the groove was a more complex shape. The moment he saw the groove, he understood.

This is the arsenal!

"Shu Yue, come here!"

He called Jiang Shuyue over, took off the gold hairpin from her head, and compared it with the groove.

The size of the gold hairpin perfectly matches the groove, and even the decoration on the front of the hairpin happens to match the complex shape at the front of the long groove!

Yes, it’s this token!

Press the gold hairpin into the groove.

The golden hairpin slowly sank and merged with the groove, fitting perfectly. It couldn't be pulled out even if you tried.

When the golden hairpin merged into the groove, the raised cylinder slowly sank.

Then, a series of clicking sounds were heard, and the thing under his feet, which looked like a huge compass, began to move like the most sophisticated machine.

"Is this the legendary mechanical technique?"

Ao Chen was shocked. The compass kept opening and closing, and it looked more sophisticated than modern machinery!

She thought of something legendary.

Although the mechanical devices in anime and movies are just fantasies of later generations.

But the current Tang Dynasty is obviously different from what is recorded in history!

They can fight against such powerful zombies. According to those zombies, they are just ants in front of the ten kings!

However, such powerful zombies were all destroyed by this world. Even if they really had mechanical skills, she would not be surprised at all!
