Chapter 1386

【It's too magical, didn't they say water flows to the low place?】

【Now I am completely convinced. Mr. Zhang is Mr. Zhang. Such things should have been within his expectations long ago, he just didn't say it.】

【Do you think the combination lock is connected to the patterns above? Only the correct pattern can straighten out the position within it?】

【Do you still need to ask? This is very obvious. I believe Team Leader Yang should also see this point.】

And at this time, Yang Lusi of the Second Archaeological Team nodded slowly.

She then said: "I understand why Mr. Zhang wanted to tell us the specific usage of the Armillary Sphere, even if it was just general."

Wang Kaixuan still didn't react and subconsciously asked: "Team Leader Yang, what do you mean? I didn't quite understand."

Hu Bayi slapped Wang Kaixuan again and said sharply: "Are you stupid? Look at these patterns. Mr. Zhang said this is a combination lock, and the answer is right here. The position pointed to by the pointer of the Armillary Sphere is one of the passwords of the combination lock, and our task is to operate the Armillary Sphere."

Zhang Lin at the Crescent Hotel nodded, thinking to himself that some things don't need explanation.

It seems that the Second Archaeological Team also understood, and these people listening to the book should have obtained the answer within it.

That is the meaning. And now Zhang Lin didn't have the heart to explain the situation within it. The key was that he had to crack these passwords at the first opportunity.

Zhang Lin looked at these patterns. To crack the password, he first had to find the correct date.

Then Zhang Lin crossed his arms and thought seriously. And at this time, there were still people on the stage who didn't open their eyes and raised their hands to ask: "Mr. Zhang, what does this password mean?"

The gaze of everyone looking at this person seemed to want to kill him. This person hurriedly lowered his hand and covered his mouth.

Zhang Lin smiled helplessly. At this time, he had already remembered the positions of all the patterns, so he might as well chat with everyone.

Anyway, there were still fifteen minutes. If he kept thinking like this, perhaps it wouldn't bring any good results.

Zhang Lin needed to open his thinking to crack the password quickly.

After figuring this out, Zhang Lin spoke slowly: "Actually, the formation of this password seems very gorgeous, and there is also the artistic conception of water flowing to the sky. This is also a kind of bad taste of Li Chunfeng. The logic of this password is very simple: it is just a date."

"And all the patterns you see are the ways to represent the date at that time. It is divided into twelve Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Find the only correct date, and manipulate the Armillary Sphere to point to the specific date respectively."

"Let me give you an analogy: I want to choose the 12th day of the 9th month of the Ren-Chen year. Turn the Armillary Sphere, and the three identifiers point to the Ren-Chen year, another one points to the 6th month, and the last one points to the 12th day."

"This is why there are seventy-two patterns inside. What is composed within it is the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of the year, totaling sixty, and the composition of the year and date uses another twelve, supplemented by Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, which is enough."

Now, what exactly does Zhang Lin need to pass through here?

Everyone shook their heads helplessly. Even after hearing Zhang Lin's explanation, they were still confused. The key was this date.

There was also a buzz of voices on the barrage.

【What was Li Chunfeng thinking? Using a date as a password, who knows what's going on?】

【Birthday, I guess the password is the day he was born.】

【Are you stupid? If it were that simple, would he leave this day behind?】

【Then what day is it? The day he finished drawing the Tui Bei Tu? Maybe there are records in history books.】

【The records in history books might all be wrong. Don't forget that this person Li Chunfeng didn't even leave his name in history.】

【Did the Tang King strip him of his identity?】

【Stripping is stripping, but can you know the date when the Tui Bei Tu was truly finished?】

Once these words were spoken, everyone fell silent. In fact, what Zhang Lin was considering now was also this specific date.

Five minutes had passed. Zhang Lin suddenly had his eyes lit up and said: "It is the Wu-Shen year. Let them adjust the Armillary Sphere to the Wu-Shen year, the 12th day of the 6th month of the Wu-Shen year, and then the first layer of the mechanism will be unlocked."

Zhang Lin gave such an answer, and everyone was still in that surprise. No one thought of Zhang Lin's last sentence.

The first layer of the mechanism was unlocked?

That meant there were corresponding mechanisms later. It was absolutely not that everything would end after finding the Wu-Shen year!

And immediately after the Second Archaeological Team received the news, they adjusted the Armillary Sphere to the state of the Wu-Shen year according to the answer Zhang Lin gave before.

However, they also carried that doubt, which was that this mechanism was too simple.

And they didn't expect that after the answer of the 12th day of the 6th month of the Wu-Shen year was manipulated, the mercury mechanism surged out again.

Under the original seventy-two options, twenty-eight more options appeared.

The next moment, the mercury column climbed up and was carved bit by bit along the four copper pillars supporting the main hall.

Now it had become twenty-eight choose one. Even without Zhang Lin's explanation, they knew what a difficult multiple-choice question this was.

Right now, they also remembered Zhang Lin's last sentence, which was the words about the first layer of the mechanism.

Wang Kaixuan grinned, and at this time, he suddenly staggered. Fortunately, Hu Bayi was beside him and helped him up.

Hu Bayi then said: "This should be the harm caused by mercury vapor that Mr. Zhang mentioned."

Yang Lusi also nodded. In fact, this matter didn't need Zhang Lin to inform her; she also understood that once mercury evaporates, it will bring a sense of dizziness to people.

Even to the point of producing hallucinations in the end, the most serious result is affecting the internal organs in the body.

And then it becomes an irreversible process, and people will die bit by bit.

But this time is very long, and within this cycle, as long as they can crack this mechanism, they can naturally escape.

So Yang Lusi didn't speak to remind them of anything. Anyway, they had to choose to endure these things.

And now was the time for Zhang Lin to give the next answer. They thought the Second Archaeological Team would have to wait another five minutes. After all, this time limit was fifteen minutes.

And according to Zhang Lin's speculation, a normal person can persist for at most fifteen minutes in this situation. This was the core reason he gave this answer.

Everyone at the Crescent Hotel was looking forward to Zhang Lin giving the answer quickly, and they also understood that Mr. Zhang needed to think, so no one urged him.

Because any urging could not affect Zhang Lin's judgment. But they didn't expect that after just one breath interval—

Zhang Lin said immediately: "Dou Su, 12 o'clock direction, the third one from the left, that is the position of Dou Su. Choose that, and they can open the tomb door later."
