Chapter 1378

"And Li Chunfeng also had it accompany him, remaining inside the tomb."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. They never expected this thing to have such a massive background; anything that could be directly banned by an emperor at the time, as long as it left a mark in history, would have a quite significant impact on the present.

Even if that weren't the case, the negative value brought by such things themselves was also very high, and in this situation, they naturally elevated their thinking to another level.

At first, they only thought this machine was used to bluff people, or perhaps it was linked to some mechanism.

Even though most people didn't hold this view, they believed that as long as it was a so-called mechanism on the surface, it must be a trap.

But precisely this behavior might have been anticipated by Li Chunfeng at the time!

Immediately, someone raised their hand again and asked: "Mr. Zhang, regardless of what this thing specifically is, with such an obvious mechanism, isn't Li Chunfeng afraid that later arrivals will just destroy it?"

Zhang Lin smiled helplessly and said: "Let's talk about this thing first. It is called an Armillary Sphere! You are already clear about the Luo Pan I told you about before. Although you don't know the specific usage of a Luo Pan, a Luo Pan is for determining Feng Shui and tomb locations, while this Armillary Sphere can be understood as an upgraded version of a Luo Pan."

"A Luo Pan is, after all, a bit small, and it is flat, so it is not that accurate for positioning stars and Feng Shui; it relies on the Feng Shui master's own experience. But the Armillary Sphere is different! As long as you master the methods, you can determine the position of the stars, and this position is very accurate, with a margin of error of less than a thousand meters."

A thousand meters seems like a long distance, but that is for stars; a thousand meters in the sky might look like a centimeter on the ground. Everyone understood this point.

Hearing this, they couldn't help but gasp again!

Immediately, Zhang Lin didn't give them any time to react and continued: "So now, let's talk about the problem of this mechanism. Actually, all of you have fallen into that misconception, and this is precisely the brilliance of the tomb owner."

"This Li Chunfeng knew that things placed on the surface might make some people more suspicious, and he precisely placed the mechanism on the surface. The tomb and the coffin you saw earlier were a trap he set; on the contrary, this Armillary Sphere is the correct mechanism."

"Only when you figure it out will all the answers be revealed. Additionally, after opening the Armillary Sphere, they only have fifteen minutes to react. If they can't find the correct route and operate the Armillary Sphere correctly, then you have seen the mercury from before."

"If I am not mistaken, this tomb has already been filled with mercury, and all the mechanisms are linked to the mercury. The location they are in now is just the surface layer of the tomb; to reach deeper levels, they must pass through here."

Zhang Lin said a whole lot in one go; everyone felt they needed to digest it, but regardless of whether they specifically understood Zhang Lin's words, they at least understood one point.

Now they were dealing with mechanisms within a normal range; there would no longer be things like the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac pollen popping up at every turn, or purple light spots appearing out of nowhere, causing hallucinations and creating a bunch of fantasy-like scenes.

Now they wouldn't see such things anymore. However, someone still held that mindset and tentatively raised their hand to ask: "Mr. Zhang, according to you, the mechanisms here should be normalized, right?"

Zhang Lin smiled helplessly, naturally understanding what this book friend wanted to express. He then nodded and said: "If you must understand it that way, that is also fine. So-called normalization is relative."

"However, I dare not guarantee this point. At the very least, the scene where you see mercury triggering a mechanism later on may not necessarily be normalized."

Zhang Lin had to lay some foreshadowing at this moment; relatively speaking, of all the mechanisms in this tomb, this one was actually the simplest.

The situations they would face later were all still unknown, even if Zhang Lin had corresponding predictions and deductions based on his absolute confidence.

But before seeing the results of anything, no one dared to guarantee it 100%. It was precisely based on this point that Zhang Lin had to be cautious when speaking now.

Be confident when it's time to be confident, and conceal when it's time to conceal; this is what Zhang Lin did.

Meanwhile, Wang Canghai, who was watching the live stream, narrowed his eyes slightly; he looked at the Armillary Sphere with some surprise.

Others didn't know what a Luo Pan was, but Wang Canghai knew very well, and he understood exactly how a Luo Pan was used.

Now, what he was curious or puzzled about was the result Zhang Lin mentioned just now.

A Luo Pan and an Armillary Sphere could actually be connected?

In Wang Canghai's view, these two things were completely different concepts. The Armillary Sphere was for deducing celestial phenomena, that was true, but it had nothing to do with Feng Shui itself.

You could say they were worlds apart, just like the Tui Bei Tu!

Wang Canghai only thought of the Armillary Sphere as something ancient people took out to look at the stars in the sky, and then did their own research to create star charts.

This point had no substantial help for Feng Shui.

In reality, stars are constantly changing, and deducing positions still relies on the Feng Shui master themselves to perform the corresponding deductions; otherwise, when you see the stars, if you don't understand Feng Shui knowledge, it is of no use.

So everything at the core of this came from Feng Shui. After seeing Wang Canghai's reaction, Xue Long couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Master, could it be that Zhang Lin is wrong this time?"

The doubt in Wang Canghai's eyes did not disappear; he then shook his head and said: "I don't know either."

Don't know?

Hearing these three words come out of Wang Canghai's mouth, Xue Long couldn't help but gasp.

These three words might seem very simple when spoken by others, and many people use such a way to express their attitude, but for Wang Canghai, this would absolutely never happen.

Was there really something Wang Canghai didn't know?

Even if there was, just like all his reactions yesterday, he wouldn't deliberately show it even if he didn't know. But now, how could Wang Canghai simply say he didn't know?

This completely plunged Xue Long into that state of astonishment; there was even a moment where he felt a deep fear rising from the depths of his soul.

Wang Canghai was no longer avoiding things in his speech; did that mean his own life was truly coming to an end?

Xue Long was startled and terrified; he really didn't want to live in this kind of panic all the time!
