Chapter 381: The Big Water Tank Is Tricky
At this point, Mao Yu'er's advantage of being familiar with the terrain was no longer of much use, but because he was very interested in the various observation methods of Luban 7, he kept asking questions, causing the puppeteer to be unable to concentrate on his work.
However, Mao Yu'er is also interesting, after the two talked a few words, Lu Ban No. 7's answer became a little absent-minded, and he realized that it was inappropriate to make such a fuss, so he quickly shut up, turned his face and stopped making a sound.
To say that the ancestral hall of the He family is large, it only occupies one-tenth of the entire mansion, and after reading Luban No. 7, he knew that its role was not to worship the ancestors, but to the town house.
Why? Just because the location of this small building complex is in the center of the Hong Mansion, if a mechanism is set up in it, it will definitely be able to take care of every corner of the house, and with this large set of gardens, that is, the rudder of the Jinsheng Gang as the core, it will radiate to other strongholds in Chang'an City.
A good Po, or a good trick setting master hiding behind the scenes, has learned the lesson that the soul will fail, and now knows how to use joint means to ensure the rapid delivery of news!
Lu Ban No. 7 was very sure, as long as he and Mao Yu'er rashly alarmed the guards guarding the He family's ancestral hall, within a moment, the news of an intruder would reach the ears of everyone in Jinshengtang, and then a large army would gather and kill this core hinterland with lightning speed.
No wonder Hong Wei is so lax in guarding the ancestral hall that contains the treasure of the town gang, it turns out that the few people who are standing in the open are just putting on a show, but in fact, all the staff of Jinshengtang are secretly guarding this place!
No matter how powerful Luban No. 7's shark mouth cannon is, he doesn't dare to boast that he can deal with the entire Jinshengtang, but the eye of the Unicom organ is buried deep in the ground, and it takes a lot of effort to destroy it, and it is not possible to achieve it with two bowls in one night. If you break through, it will be too late in time, but I am afraid that before I can knock down the fierce-looking, five big and three rough men standing outside the door, the reinforcements have arrived, and he and Mao Yu'er will not even have a chance to escape.
What can I do?
Luban No. 7 held his head in two wooden hands and pondered. As the descendant of Master Lu Ban, he was born with a keen comprehension of mechanical techniques, but as long as he looked at any mechanical thing, he could understand the truth and find out the trick to control it.
But in order to exert this ability, there is a prerequisite, and the premise is to see the mechanism itself.
The real mechanism device is hidden underground, and he can't get to it at present, the layout of the house is just a shape, and he can only give abstract concepts, and it is too difficult to analyze it carefully and find all kinds of joints and wiring.
Luban No. 7 was silent for a long time, and seemed to start pretending to be dead. The hairy fish lay down in the branches for a while, feeling bored, so he gnawed his fingers and muttered: "I really want to go to that well to get some water to drink, that damn Chef Li always makes dishes so salty!" ”
"Well?!"
As soon as he heard this word, Lu Ban No. 7 had an idea, and suddenly had an idea. If you jump from a tree like this, you can easily trigger the trap and attract the attention of the guards. But if the place where you settle is water, the water is soft, as long as you ensure that it does not fluctuate, you can sneak into the ancestral hall as light as a speck of dust, and no one can notice it!
But where is the well mentioned by the hairy fish? Luban No. 7 stared hard and couldn't find it, so he had to turn to Mao Yu'er for help.
Seeing that he had become a useful person again, Mao Yu'er was energetic again, and almost pointed to the southeast and shouted: "There!" ”
"Shhhh Luban No. 7 startled him and hurriedly issued a warning.
Mao Yu'er also knew that he was reckless, so he stuck out his tongue in fright, and then whispered to Luban No. 7: "Seventh brother, that well is enclosed by a porcelain jar embossed with ancient beasts, and on the surface it is just a large water tank for storing water. ”
"Oh? Hide the well with a tank? That's interesting! ”
Luban No. 7 felt that there was a drama.
In order to prevent the water from running out of the house, large households will set up a large water tank in the courtyard to store water, and the water tank is always full for emergency use.
It is very strange for the Hong house to dig a well in the courtyard, of course, it also shows that the location of the house has good feng shui, and there is water stored deep underground, but in addition to fighting the fire, Ah Bao must have used the well for other purposes, otherwise why should he hide it and have to camouflage it with a water tank?
"How did you know that the tank was actually connected to a well?" To be on the safe side, Luban No. 7 needs to ask Mao Yuer clearly.
Mao Yu'er pursed her lips and replied, "Guarding the ancestral hall is a drudgery, and I can't sleep at night, so many people are not happy to do it." The helmsman set the rules for shifts, and everyone in the helm had to take their turn at least once a month. Once it was my master's turn to be on an errand, and Mao Yu'er and I naturally had to go with him. ”
"Hey, say well!" Time was pressing, and Luban No. 7 was impatient to listen to him talk about something else.
Mao Yu'er nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, I said." That night, Mao Yuer and I caught two mice in the small room next to the stage, and wanted to throw them into the water tank to harm people, but the mice would disappear when they were thrown down. ”
"Then you did this, didn't you alarm anyone?"
"Absolutely! There was no big movement when the rats went down, but after the water was stirred, it became a big problem, and somehow many people rushed out inside and outside the ancestral hall, surrounding us, and I was almost frightened to see the momentum of the hairy shrimp. The helmsman was so angry that he almost threw the two of us into the water tank and drowned, but fortunately the master said that he was useful for keeping us two, and now we can't kill them, so we can save our lives, but we have been working as coolies in the helm for a month. ”
"Stir the water in the tank and the trap will be triggered!" The experience that Mao Yuer told was exactly the test that Luban 7 wanted, and since it had already been done, he didn't need to take the risk of examining it himself.
This shows two problems, one is that the entrance to the underground mechanism array is indeed the water tank. The second is that the water wave vibration can send out a signal and summon the people who are guarding all over the Jinshengtang as an alarm.
There is also an intriguing point in Maoyu's words: he said that after stirring up the water, not only some people rushed in from outside, but also some rushed out from inside the building. So does it mean that Jin Shengtang has 200 thugs at the helm, but in fact, he is hiding more in secret?
These people did not show their faces on the ground, but hid in the underground array for a long time, waiting for someone to jump out and fight when someone came to sabotage.
"The Hong Mansion is as deep as a tiger's den in Longtan, and the arrangement of the mechanism array is very ingenious. If it weren't for the guidance of a master, even if Ah Bao was smart, he wouldn't have been able to come up with it! Besides, when Hong Shangwu didn't give eight pieces of unloading in the past, there were no advanced arrangements in the soul capital, otherwise that person would not have died in the cave at all! ”
Luban Seven knew that the mysterious power had learned from the failed experience of the Soul City and strengthened the means of invasion.
