Chapter 52: The Ancient Words Are Open
The reed lock is the most typical lock in ancient China. Its components are a lock body, a key, and a lock bolt composed of a lock beam and a separate spring leaf lock. The lock body provides a key slot for the key to be inserted and guided.
The lock bolt moves, and the lock bolt uses a handle to connect the separation spring leaf, and then designs a suitable key according to the shape of the key slot and keyhole and the structure of the separation spring leaf. When locking, the open spring leaf on the lock bolt
It will open and resist the inner wall of the lock to prevent the lock from being opened; if you want to open it, you must insert the key so that the key head squeezes the reed and activates the lock bolt.
The main feature of a reed lock is the type, number, position, and size of the separate spring blades on the lock bolt, which not only affects the design of the key head and keyhole, but also affects the opening method of the lock. The spring blades are thin rectangular parallelepipeds, most of which are
One to six pieces; one end of the spring pieces is fixed to the tail of the lock stem, and the other end is open and arranged symmetrically; most of the spring pieces of the same lock have the same size, and some have different lengths.
The configuration design of the keyhole is basically to allow the matching key to be inserted into the lock and to prevent the unmatched key from entering. Most of the keyhole locations are on the end face, some are on the front, back, or bottom, and some are
It is opened on several adjacent surfaces at the same time. In addition, most of the keyholes are open, while some are hidden.
The hidden lock is a type of text combination lock. The so-called hidden has many meanings. The purpose of the keyhole, text combination or puzzle is to make you unable to find the clue. Even if you get it, it will be difficult to open if you don't know the trick. Once
Using external force to force open the lock will destroy everything inside the lock, or injure people and kill people at worst. It can be seen that the magic of ancient Chinese mechanisms is unrivaled in the world. Xiaoya's classmate's father was obsessed with locks all his life, but in the end he died in this netherworld.
Lock it.
Once, someone asked a friend of the factory director to secretly bring him something. He also carefully explained that if he could open it, he would be grateful. After the box was opened, it turned out to be an ancient red sandalwood box. The top and bottom of the box were made of the same material.
There is no splicing. The four sides are engraved with gluttonous animal patterns, the picture is lush and full, the sword technique is strong and bold, the corners are decorated with a spike-shaped band, and a jade ring and dragon ear are embedded on the left and right. The more the factory director looks at it, the more suspicious he becomes.
Nowadays, there is only one tael of gold and one tael of sandalwood. Where can such a large piece of sandalwood be produced? Could it be that it was emptied out from somewhere? That's not bad. If people know about it, he will lose his job. But this factory director
I couldn't bear the high reward, so I looked around and realized why the box was handed over to me. It turned out that the box only had a pair of jade ring chilong ears, not even a keyhole.
People's curiosity is always endless. This factory director has opened countless locks in his life. From beginning to end, no matter how difficult the lock is, he can easily find it. The harder it is, the more it stimulates his desire to win. He doesn't care at the moment.
, whether this sandalwood box is a prohibited item, he threw himself on the box wholeheartedly, unable to extricate himself. But this time, his self-confidence suffered an unprecedented blow. For two days in a row, he had no clue. The reason was for no other reason. It was because of this red sandalwood box.
On the ancient box, except for the weird and swirling animal mask pattern, there was no hole. This man was very unwilling. After taking a long leave in the factory, he closed the door and thanked the guests. For three days in a row, he locked himself in the study at home, not taking a single step.
I never stepped out. On the fourth day, my family was really worried and knocked on the door. However, after ringing for a long time, there was no response at all.
The family hesitated for a long time, and finally called someone. They broke in, but the scene inside was really unforgettable. The small study was filled with this faint floral fragrance. The floral fragrance was very elegant but very intoxicating.
The factory director's face was dark, and his head was buried deep in the ancient box. The family members stepped forward and gave him a gentle push, but saw the factory director make a "bang" and fell on the table with his whole face still stuck to the ancient box.
, the eyes are hollow, the tongue is stretched out, but there is a strange red flower growing on the tip of the tongue. The red flower has one flower and two leaves. The flower is red and the leaves are green, which is the source of my secret thoughts.
At the end of the matter, we had to call the police. However, the local police investigated for a long time and found no useful information. Finally, someone from the provincial department took away the ancient box and said it was to be handed over to a university in Xi'an for archeology.
It was in the hands of a professor in the profession who was researching and looking for clues on his behalf. This professor also read countless locks in his life. He was also a friend of the deputy director who died, but he also followed in his footsteps. I heard that the ancient box was opened.
, but something happened on the day it was opened. The professor in charge of the ancient box returned home and inexplicably lay down on the dining table before he could finish his meal. He never woke up after that.
Xie Fei put his hand on the copper coin and listened to Xiaoya's words. His whole back felt cold. Fortunately, he didn't move. But what should he do now? This is his amulet, so of course he doesn't need it.
After you go out, find someone to replace it with a new one. But if this is the case, the secrets in the copper coffin will be buried here forever. And since the copper coins can open the copper coffin, there must be something hidden between the two.
The well-known secret, to extend it further, is that I have been wearing copper coins since I was a child. I don’t care who put them on, the old man or my biological parents, but no matter who it is since he has this copper coin in his hand.
It must be inextricably related to this copper coffin.
No matter what others think, it is absolutely impossible to let yourself go now.
Xiaoya looked at the light in Xie Fei's eyes, got up and walked to Lao Wu without saying anything.
Xie Fei lowered his head and glanced at the copper coin in his hand. The two dominoes had changed from straight to an obtuse angle. Xie Fei put more force on his hand, and the two dominoes began to slowly close again, and the angle gradually became smaller.
.In the end, the two dominoes closed together, just like the keys now.
The two dominoes correspond to the two rows of copper pillars in the copper coffin. It seems that the secret lies here. No one would have thought that after inserting the key, there will be a loop mechanism inside.
The atmosphere became tense again, and he only had one chance. Now that the hidden lock had been broken, but whether he should turn the button to the left or to the right. Xie Fei was a little unsure.
Lao Wu said that China has respected the right since ancient times, but this is not necessarily the case. Before the Qin and Han Dynasties, China had always respected the left. "Historical Records. The Family of Prime Minister Chen" states: "Jianghou Bo was the prime minister on the right, and he moved to the same level every time.
He is the Prime Minister of the Left, second in rank. There is also an idiom "Xuzuo Yiwai" which refers to leaving the place on the left to welcome guests when they come to the home. This tomb is an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty, and the legal system of the Han Dynasty should be followed.
.
Thinking of this, Xie Fei no longer hesitated. He immediately held the domino with his hands and began to rotate slightly to the left.
Old Wu was leaning on the edge of the bronze platform, one thigh hanging on the copper chain. The look on his face seemed to be even more excited than Xie Fei's.
The copper key rotated about 180 degrees, and the copper coffin vibrated slightly. Before Xie Fei could react, he saw that the copper coins were swallowed bit by bit by the golden toad. As the coins moved,
