Reborn from the ashes: Deadly Concubine

Chapter 307 Gonghu Clan: Gonghu Hidden House
The child was handed over to Chong Jiu, and Zhuo Zhuo took Ling Zimo, Wen Sheng, and five other brothers to Guancheng.Because of the urgency in his heart, he was almost non-stop, and he arrived in Guancheng in less than a day.

In the mountains outside Guancheng, there is a dilapidated courtyard. In midsummer, the woods are full of greenery and full of vitality. This environment further sets off the decadence of the courtyard.The bluestone courtyard wall is ruined, and the gate is even more dispensable, covered with dust.

An old man with white hair, a beard, and a body covered in mud sat on the threshold, watching a group of people get off their horses.Grinning.

Ling Zimo walked to Zhuo Zhuo's side: "This is the only person in the room, crazy."

Zhuo Zhuo nodded, walked to the old man, she looked at the old man: "What's your name?"

The old man tilted his head to look at Zhuo Zhuo, then clapped his hands: "You are so beautiful, you are different from them."

The old man still remembered Ling Zimo and others, Zhuo Zhuo smiled and said, "Then can you tell me your name?"

The old man pouted like a child, thought for a long time and said, "I forgot."

Ling Zimo frowned, and the other five people also looked impatient, but Zhuo Zhuo was still smiling, as patient as a crying child.

"Then, do you remember your last name?"

The old man shook his head.

"Public household?"

The old man said "ah": "Gonghu, Gonghu, my surname is Gonghu."

Zhuo Zhuo turned his head and smiled brightly at everyone, but everyone looked sad.It's a shame, how many days they've been here, it's only because they discovered an underground secret room that they knew something was wrong, Zhuo Zhuo came here and found out that the family name was indeed a public household.

"Old man, come, let's go into the yard."

Zhuo Zhuo helped the old man into the yard, the old man was alive and kicking like a child.Others also came in, and the person who discovered the secret room led everyone to a dilapidated house, and used his hands to push away the dirt on it, revealing a stone slab.

"This is the entrance."

Zhuo Zhuo asked softly again: "Old man, there is a mechanism at the entrance, can you solve it?"

The old man shook his head, and Ling Zimo whispered beside him: "He is a lunatic, he doesn't even remember his name, how could he solve the mechanism?"

Zhuo Zhuo rolled his eyes at him, and said in a low voice: "What do you know about the wooden block, just go."

Who knew that the old man heard it, clapping his hands and jumping his feet: "Big wood, big wood!"

Ling Zimo's face turned red and then pale, Zhuo Zhuo snickered, and then she helped the old man to sit down on a dilapidated stone bench, and surrounded the stone slab with everyone.

"This, can't you break it with a hammer?"

"I tried it, and it didn't break open."

"If it can be broken easily, what kind of mechanism is there?"

Ling Zimo pondered for a while, then turned his head to look around, then lifted up another stone bench next to the old man, walked over and said, "Get out of the way, I'll try."

Everyone got out of the way, and Ling Zimo smashed the stone bench against the stone slab.As a result, the stone benches were all broken, and the stone slabs didn't even have a crack.

Sure enough, using brute force was not enough. Everyone cleaned up the nearby soil, and a square appeared on the stone slab, with six small squares inside. This is the mechanism.

"I've tried these six grids, but I can't press them, pull them out, or move them. I don't know how to solve them at all."

Zhuo Zhuo frowned, but like Ling Zimo, he tried it himself, and sure enough, he didn't move no matter whether he pressed, pulled or pushed.

Several people were frowning, Wen Sheng scratched his face: "These small pieces must be activated by pressing or pulling, but it should be regular."

Ling Zimo snorted coldly: "You still need to say this? If we know the rules, can't we turn on the switch?"

Zhuo Zhuo pursed his lips and pressed them one by one, but there was no movement.Pulled out one by one again, when the third one was pulled out, the stone lattice protruded suddenly, and at the same time it made a crisp "bang".

The frowning crowd suddenly changed their expressions, and they all leaned over again, looking at the stone lattice that had been pulled out.

"Okay, there are six in total here, and now that one has been cracked, there are five left."

Everyone was overjoyed, Zhuo Zhuo pursed his lips, what would happen next, and what method would he use?Old rules, experiment from scratch.So Zhuo Zhuo pressed the first grid.I didn't know that the first grid was not pressed down, but pulled out and suddenly retracted, restoring its original appearance.

Everyone exclaimed, good guy, the mechanism was locked again if it turned out to be wrong.But it doesn't matter, at most start over.So Zhuo Zhuo pulled out the third grid again.But an accident happened again, and the third grid could no longer be pulled out.

Everyone looked at each other, Zhuo Zhuo frowned, and started pressing again.As a result, when the fifth button was pressed, the grid was dented.Everyone exclaimed again.

Zhuo Zhuo's face was pale: "It turns out that once the mechanism is re-locked, the method of opening it will also change."

Wen Shenggui shouted: "This way, there is no way to unlock the mechanism!"

A brother sighed: "It's really an exquisite mechanism, worthy of being a masterpiece of a family of wizards."

Ling Zimo glared at him: "Is now the time to praise?"

The brother quickly lowered his head, Ling Zimo's face was darkened: "We can only use brute force."

Zhuo Zhuo waved his hand: "Don't wait, what if you smash this place, will the mechanism destroy the underground secret room? Let me think about it."

Zhuo Zhuo stood up, thought for a while, and then started to try again, and wrote down the steps of each trigger mechanism.Although every time it is locked, the opening method will change.But after all, this is an organ, not a human brain. If it changes several times, there should be repetitions.As long as you don't tire of it, you can still untie it.

It was getting dark, and the brothers lit torches to illuminate Zhuo Zhuo. Zhuo Zhuo relocked the mechanism thirteen times in a row, and finally found the duplication.But when he touched the third grid, there was still a change, and Zhuo Zhuo was discouraged all of a sudden, and it was almost dawn at this time.

Wen Sheng helped Zhuo Zhuo back to sit on the stool, and he continued to do so. The surrounding soil was covered with marks, and at the end of the painting, Wen Sheng himself forgot which was which.Ling Zimo ridiculed him, but he was unwilling to show weakness and retorted. The brothers came to persuade him, but he was involved in it unexpectedly.The old man who woke up after sleeping over there jumped up and clapped his hands when he saw the lively scene. The noise was getting higher and higher like the temperature.

Zhuo Zhuo rubbed his head and felt a severe headache.It seems that it is impossible to solve it by finding the rules. She said before that there will be rescuers as a last resort.This rescuer refers to Xing Yun.She can communicate with Xingyun through Leaping Technique. Xingyun is a legendary great wizard of Xia Kingdom and should be able to crack this mechanism.

However, she really didn't want to alarm those people, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.So she didn't want to try until the last moment, but now it seemed that it was the last moment.
