When bronze ware was forged in the early days, technology was not yet developed, so there were no locks. This is why there are many types of bronze ware, but no locks.

However, there are naturally other ways to deal with theft.

In the past, many things were riveted, using long strips of iron or bronze driven in to fix things or make other mechanisms.

In terms of precision, it is no worse than a lock, just like the bolt behind the wooden doors in the past.

It’s just that there’s no way to shrink the lock to be smaller than the palm of your hand.

There are also many square openings on this bronze box, each with a bronze bolt inserted into it. However, if the order and technique are not correct, it may get locked.

Once it is locked, there is no other way except to break it open by force, and if you do that, the things inside will most likely be damaged.

Therefore, Lin Han must ensure that there are no mistakes in his approach.

Lin Han carefully looked at the six sides of the box and found a Bagua diagram underneath.

And through the Eye of True Vision, he also learned some information about this thing.

"Taifang box, Shang and Zhou dynasty, authentic, worth 3 million RMB!"

He had heard of the Taifang Box, which was a box used to protect some particularly precious things.

Each type of Taifang box has a different solution, but the solutions can be traced. Otherwise, if there are too many Taifang boxes, some people with poor brains will not be able to remember them.

There are no other clues except the Bagua diagram below, which means the key point lies on this Bagua diagram.

"Tai Chi Yin and Yang, Bagua and eight directions, commonly known as the Tai Fang Box. The directions are in a shuffled order, which is the order in which it will be opened!"

Lin Han said as he glanced at the eight scrambled three-bar things.

Those three bars, and some of the separate bars, represent the eight directions of the Bagua.

Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun and Dui.

But now the eight positions have been deliberately disrupted and are not in their original positions. So you just need to press the corresponding bronze bolts in order to unlock the Taifang Box!

The East is the most respected, which means it comes first, followed by the south to the west to the northeast. There are only three mistakes.

Lin Han was about to press the three bronze bolts on the southeast, south, and southwest sides of the box.

Zhang Yongnian, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and revealed a disdainful smile.

As expected, the treasure appraiser appointed by the Treasure Appraisers Association only has this ability.

It was obvious that he knew the real answer because he had opened the box and knew how to solve it.

However, Lin Han’s current order is not the real unlocking order, it will only lock the box in the end.

He overestimated Lin Han and the current Appraisers Association. The current Appraisers Association is just like the past, strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and even the selected Appraisers are just so-so.

"wrong!"

But just when Lin Han was about to press the buttons in order, his fingers suddenly stopped.

This surprised Zhang Yongnian a little and he opened his eyes wide. He didn't expect Lin Han to stop suddenly.

What Lin Han did next shocked him even more.

Lin Han gave up the three bronze bolts he had already decided on and instead moved to the northeast, north, and northwest positions.

"The Bagua diagram is not printed on the box, but on the bottom of the box, upside down, and naturally upside down as well!"

This time Lin Han did not stop and pressed the three bronze bolts very confidently.

The next second, Lin Han opened the Taifang box and he successfully solved it!

"Huh? There's nothing in there!"

Xiaoxiang, who was about to see what treasures were inside, was very disappointed and confused when he found that there was nothing inside.

The Taifang box is naturally used to hold treasures, otherwise it would not be made so precisely, so it would be unreasonable to say that there is no treasure in it.

Of course, it would be different if someone took it ahead of time.

"If there is a treasure, I won't let him open it. If he locks the box, I will lose a lot."

Zhang Yongnian snorted coldly and sat back in his original seat.

"So what's the situation now? Are you satisfied with my strength?" Lin Han put the Taifang box back on the table, raised his chin, and asked curiously.

"Just barely passed! It seems that the treasure appraisers are still quite interesting now."

Zhang Yongnian picked up the pipe on the table, lit it with a match, took a deep breath and exhaled the thick smoke, then said very reluctantly.

"Then we can move on to the next question?" Dai Zhengshan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhang Yongnian say that he passed.

If he fails, then his trip will be in vain.

"Next question?" Lin Han was a little confused after hearing this.

"Of course, this is just a test to see if you are qualified to help. If it is so easy for me to help, how many people would I have to help?"

Zhang Yongnian rolled his eyes at Lin Han, then stood up and walked towards the door.

It was only at this time that Lin Han discovered that there was another room in the house.

After opening it, Lin Han saw a person who made him very uncomfortable.

Du Yuesheng!

"Why are you here too?"

Not only Lin Han was surprised that Du Yuesheng appeared here, but Dai Zhengshan was the same.

He also didn't expect Du Yuesheng to appear here.

"It seems like we have the same idea. We both want his help."

Du Yuesheng crossed his arms across his chest, not as surprised as they were, and spoke calmly.

This is natural. After all, the Du family is the number one family here, so they naturally don't need to ask Zhang Yongnian for help. But if the Dai family wants to turn things around, they need to find Zhang Yongnian.

Then it would be easy for Du Yuesheng to guess that they would come, but it would be difficult for Dai Zhengshan to guess.

But if it's to stop them, then it makes sense.

However, what attracted Lin Han's attention most was not Du Yuesheng, but a large square tripod placed in the middle of the room.

This large tripod is two meters high and has eight dragons around it, with their tails pointing upwards, their heads pointing downwards, and their mouths open.

However, the top of a normal tripod is naturally open, because it doesn’t have a lid. But this one is different, it has a lid.

Judging from the bronze material, it weighs at least nearly 100 kilograms, and there are bronze bolts inserted all around it, making it look like a coffin lid.

"Eight Dragons Locking the Cauldron?" Lin Han asked in surprise.

"Oh?" Zhang Yongnian was very surprised when he heard Lin Han accurately say the name of this thing.

After all, this thing is a bit old and very rare. Not to mention young people, even the older generation doesn’t know about it.

"I've only heard of it!" Lin Han knew the name of this thing through the Eye of True Vision, but he didn't know what it was.

But judging from the name, it should be used to lock things like the Taifang box.

And this was obviously the second question Zhang Yongnian gave him. No, it should be the question given to him and Du Yuesheng!

Whoever can solve it will gain Zhang Yongnian's favor!
