Chapter 359 Luban Lock

Liu Hou and Shen Fan climbed into the cabin.
The cabin is small.
But there are also exquisite beds, tables and chairs.
Adults cannot use it, only children under ten years old can sit and lie down.
Looking at these familiar furnishings, Shen Fan felt a little sad.
“This tree was planted by my grandfather when I was born. I didn’t expect it to grow so tall now.
When I was a child, I loved watching adventure movies. In foreign movies, all the children would build wooden houses on the trees behind their houses.
I'm so envious.
I just mentioned it to my grandfather once, and my grandfather built me ​​a wooden house on this tree using the best wood he had accumulated for many years.
When I was a child, this wooden house was my happy place and typhoon shelter.
Even if the house was rebuilt, I would not be willing to demolish this wooden house, so I asked my grandpa to keep it for me.
Ever since I was little, my grandfather has loved me the most.
I miss grandpa..."
As he spoke, Shen Fan shed tears.
His grandparents were killed, but no one knew about it.
Everyone thought that Shen Fan's grandparents had died more than ten years ago.
How sad is this?
Liu Hou's eyes kept wandering around the wooden house.
The furnishings in the wooden house are all made of solid wood. Over ten years of time, the wood has accumulated traces of weathering and frost.
Close to a window and in a place often exposed to the sun.
Due to the sun and rain, the wood grain began to crack.
But obviously, Shen Fan's grandfather often came to this small wooden house and took good care of the toys that were placed in the house that were only loved by little boys.
Repair what needs to be repaired, and mend what needs to be mended.
Shen Fan's grandfather really loved his grandson. Most of the toys in the wooden house were made by him.
Looking carefully, Liu Hou didn't find anything strange.
Just when Liu Hou was distressed, suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a strange phenomenon.
The wooden house is located very high, and little bits of sunlight are scattered among the branches and leaves of the locust tree.
Sometimes light falls into the wooden house from the window and falls in front of a wooden table.
One of the lights seemed to be attracted by something.
It's actually slightly twisted!
Liu Hou took a breath, there was something in the room attracting light?
No, it's more than just light.
Even the dust in the room is being attracted...
In other words, being excluded.
Liu Hou followed the direction in which the light was distorted and knocked hard on the wall of the wooden house a few times.
Boom, boom, boom.
The walls are empty.
The hollow sound sounds completely different from the sound of solid wooden knocking.
"Hey, Shen Fan, are there any hidden compartments here?"
Liu Hou called out to Shen Fan.
This brought Shen Fan back from his memories.
Seeing Liu Hou knocking on the wall, Shen Fan nodded and said, "There is indeed a secret door at that location. Inside is a small storage cabinet where I store important toys."
"Do you remember how to open it?"
Liu Hou asked.
This secret door is so ingeniously made that it must have an opening mechanism.
Shen Fan scratched his head: "I probably still remember it, but I haven't driven it for a long time, so I'm not sure."
"You'd better be sure. If it doesn't succeed, maybe both of us will die here!"
Liu Hou said in a deep voice.
Shen Fan was shocked: "Impossible, I often opened storage cabinets when I was a child, and sometimes it doesn't matter if I open the wrong one."
"Your grandpa has tampered with this storage cabinet and made a trigger mechanism. I'm afraid it's a secret inside that I don't want anyone to know. And the only ones in the world who can open it are your grandpa and you."
Liu Hou frowned slightly: "Now, your grandfather is gone. You are the only one who can open the secret grid."
Seeing this secret grid, Liu Hou was even more convinced that Shen Fan's grandfather was definitely not an ordinary person.
A Luban lock is used on the hidden compartment, and it must be unlocked through specific steps.
The Luban Lock is connected to the fatal mechanism in the secret grid.
Once someone moves the Luban lock easily without following specific steps to open it.
Internal mechanisms will be triggered.
Not only will it destroy the important things contained in the hidden compartment, but it will also kill and bury the people in the wooden house.
Extremely dangerous.
It seems that Shen Fan's grandfather is ready to make a desperate move and will not care about anything in order to save Shen Fan's life.
The mechanism in the hidden compartment is absolutely terrifying.
Even light and dust in the air can be repelled.
It must have been Lu Ban's method of covering up evil and crime, so even Liu Hou couldn't detect it.
Shen Fan became a little nervous when Liu Hou spoke. At Liu Hou's urging, he swallowed hard.
Then he stretched out his hand and untied the Luban lock tremblingly.
He had unlocked this Luban lock countless times when he was a boy.
It's nothing more than moving it to the corresponding position according to the wood grain on the hidden grid.
It should have been easy and familiar.
But under the pressure, his head turned into a ball of mush.
Fortunately, the body's muscle memory is still there.
After he fearfully aligned the last wood grain, a clicking sound came from the dark grid.
The door opened automatically.
"Open, open. Master Liu Hou, I opened it."
Shen Fan was ecstatic.
Liu Hou breathed a sigh of relief and released the talisman he was secretly holding.
He had already prepared for the worst. If the mechanism in the secret grid was triggered, he would throw out the talisman and lead Shen Fan to jump off the tree.
But when he looked at what was painted behind the hidden door, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
I feel so lucky in my heart.
He didn't recognize what was engraved on the back.
But he knows the heavenly book in his body.
In Luban's technique, there are four ways of self-mutilation: widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, independence, and disability.
To learn this technique, you must choose one.
Each type of self-mutilation corresponds to a different path of spell cultivation.
Shen Fan's grandfather should have chosen Can.
"Is your grandfather disabled?"
Liu Hou asked.
Shen Fan was stunned and said in surprise: "How does Master Liu Hou know? My grandfather lost a foot due to an accident when he was young. He made a wooden foot for himself, but there is no serious problem in walking."
"As expected."
Liu Hou felt a thrill of escaping from death: "The talisman carved behind the secret door belongs to Luban's technique, a technique of the Can sect. Once triggered, everyone will be disabled, which makes no sense at all.
The moment it is triggered, the power that has absorbed the essence of the sun and moon for many years will burst out and cut us into countless corpses."
"This is so terrible."
Shen Fan was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Why would my grandfather do this?"
"Why else? Of course it's to hide a secret. And he only wants you to know this secret after he dies."
Liu Hou sighed.
There is nothing else in the dark compartment.
All the toys from Shen Fan's childhood were cleared away.
Only a square wooden box was left.
The wooden box is completely black, and the old man also used an ink fountain to flick countless straight ink lines.
It was as if it was sealed with an ink fountain line.
"The box itself is an exquisite Luban lock."
Liu Hou carefully took out the wooden box, looked at it for a few times, and handed it to Shen Fan: "Open it and try it."
"I...how do I know how to open it?"
Shen Fan was so frightened that he trembled: "Is there some terrible Luban Shu again? What if it cannot be opened and I am killed?"
"Spineless! Since it was left to you by your grandfather, he is sure that only you know how to open it. Please recall it carefully!"
Liu Hou slapped him on the forehead.
Shen Fan smiled bitterly, being forced to do nothing, holding the wooden box and looking up and down.
After looking at it for a few times, his eyes suddenly lit up: "My grandfather said that the secret to opening the lock he made depends on the wood grain structure."
Shen Fan fiddled with it and said with a smile: "Haha, I am indeed the son of destiny. I know how to open it."
After moving the wood grain, Shen Fan opened the wooden box after a while.
The wooden box unfolded completely, revealing the contents inside.
Liu Hou stared nervously without blinking, but he only glanced at the contents of the box.
Then he started to scratch his head!
Chapter completed!
