Chapter 228 Ancient Mechanism, the Compass of the Statue

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Xiao Huangmao standing by the door, Ao Xin knew that it must be Xiao Huangmao who knocked on the door.

But, why did you wake yourself up in the middle of the night?

Looking up and looking around, there were no zombies or other dangers. Everyone was in a daze of being awakened.

"Boss, I found something, there may be treasure!"

Although Xiao Huangmao didn't know what the lines under the statue meant, it didn't stop him from exaggerating his discovery.

Ao Xin followed him to the courtyard outside. Xiao Huangmao pointed to the three stone statues and said:

"Boss, look at the bases of these three stone statues. Is there any light shining on the ground?"

He informed Ao Xin of all his findings. When he heard that even the third-level Zhou Xingjian could not lift the statue, he felt that the matter was not simple.

"I'll try."

He hugged the statue with both hands and tried hard to lift it. The muscles in his arms suddenly swelled, and he slowly lifted the statue.

I can lift it, but barely.

"Good guy, what kind of material is this thing made of?"

He is already at the fourth level and has the blessing of blood factors. How can his strength be comparable to that of Zhou Xingjian?

But even so, it was still very difficult for him to lift it up.

No longer hesitating, he entered the human-animal form and felt a little more relaxed.

The collapsed statue was lifted by him and then slowly fell down, trying to fit into the raised lines on the ground.

"Boss, turn a little to the left, yes, turn a little more!"

Wei Mingxuan took the initiative to lie down on the ground and look at the fit between the base of the statue and the bulge on the ground.

Soon, the concave part of the base of the statue completely matched the raised lines on the ground, and the lines on the ground were completely inserted into the body of the statue.

Ao Xin let go and waited for a miracle to happen.

However, three minutes passed and nothing happened.

It seems that they just lifted the statue up.

"It doesn't work?"

He originally thought that this statue would be related to the arsenal hidden somewhere, but he did not expect such a result.

Just as he was thinking, Luo Qingyan said:

"Brother Xin, since the bases of the three statues all have this kind of pattern that matches the ground, why not hold them all up and take a look."

Ao Xin looked back at her and suddenly thought, if these statues are really related to the arsenal.

So since Luo Qingyan was able to open up her arsenal in her previous life, she should also be able to find these tips in this life.

Then he followed her words and lifted up the other two statues, inserting the faintly shiny lines on the ground into the statues.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement.

"Brother, is it possible that this is just an ordinary statue of a god, with nothing special about it?"

Ao Chen yawned and glanced at Xiao Huangmao again: "Xiao Huangmao must be making a fuss. How can there be any treasures here?"

"If there is a treasure, judging from the current layout, there are only two possibilities."

"First, the statue of the god can open the passage of time and space, and the treasure is hidden in a hidden space and time."

"Secondly, it's hidden underground! If it's really underground, can I just go underground and take a look?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into a little mouse and escaped underground.

Ao Xin also thinks what she said makes sense. Another time and space? She felt it was unlikely, but hiding underground, it was very possible!

He stared at the ground, waiting for Ao Chen's response.

Soon, the little mouse emerged from the ground, and Ao Chen, who transformed into a human form again, looked puzzled and happy:

"Brother, you can't escape!"

She rubbed her head: "There seems to be something other than earth and stone below, blocking my escape."

As soon as these words came out, Ao Xin's eyes lit up. So, it was indeed underground!

Otherwise, such a special object would not be buried underground for no reason!

"Come on, dig up this piece of ground! See what's underneath!"

Now that it's confirmed to be underground, it's easy to handle. Just dig it out and you'll know what it is!

"Brother Xin, wait!"

Lin Ruoyu hurriedly said: "Brother Xin, I see that these statues are all facing different directions. This layout is obviously very unreasonable!"

"Normally, they should be facing in one direction, but these three statues are arranged in a zigzag shape. I think they should be facing the center! The base below should be able to twist! Why don't you try twisting it?"

Ao Xin observed the statues and felt that this statement made sense, so he asked Wei Mingxuan and others to connect the midpoints of the three statues and draw a line connecting the midpoints to the statues on the ground.

Then, he came behind the statue, grabbed the body of the statue, and twisted it hard.

Zhizhi!

The friction between the base and the ground makes a loud sound, and the statue can really twist!

This shows that Lin Ruoyu's conjecture is very likely to be true!

Quickly turn all three statues towards the center.

The moment the third statue twisted to the center position, a clicking sound was heard, and a golden light lit up on the line they had drawn before on the ground!

The light seemed to contain some kind of energy. The dust on the ground was swept away by the light. The smoke and dust dissipated, and even the ground sank three inches downward!

At this moment, there is a circular compass-like formation on the ground. There are many incomprehensible lines and fonts in the compass.

The light emitted by the three statues also illuminates the lines on the compass formation.

Everyone stepped back and watched this magical scene.

When the entire circular compass is lit, a column slowly extends from the center.

The cylinder extended just an inch and then stopped.

Ao Xin stepped on this huge compass and went forward to check.

There was a long groove on the top of the cylinder, and above the groove was a more complex shape. The moment he saw the groove, he understood.

This is the arsenal!

"Shu Yue, come here!"

He called Jiang Shu Yue over, took off the gold hairpin from her head, and compared it with the groove.

The size of the gold hairpin was exactly the same as the groove, and even the decoration in front of the gold hairpin happened to match the complex shape at the front of the long groove!

That's right, it's this token!

Press the gold hairpin into the groove.

The gold hairpin slowly sank and merged with the groove, fitting perfectly, and it couldn't be pulled out even if it was picked.

When the gold hairpin merged with the groove, the raised cylinder slowly sank,

Then, the sound of clicking continued, and the huge compass-like thing under his feet started to work like the most sophisticated machinery.

"Is this the legendary mechanical technique?"

Ao Chen was shocked. The compass kept opening and closing, and it looked more sophisticated than modern machinery!

She thought of something from a legend.

Although the mechanical arts in anime and movies are just the imaginations of later generations.

But the Tang Dynasty now is obviously different from what is recorded in history!

They can fight against such strong zombies. According to those spirit corpses, they are just ants in front of the ten kings!

However, such strong zombies were all killed by this world. Even if they really have mechanical arts, she is not surprised at all!
