Chapter 106 Pattern Nine Questions
The stone door of the sixth stone chamber is also closed and can only explode.
Zhang Shukai went out and brought back the necessary items for positioning and blasting. While he placed the *, Lu Jiahui knocked on the stone door as usual at the rhythm of the Moss code, trying to contact Zhao Ying and others, but there was no reply in the stone chamber.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's face feeling worried, Wang Xinran looked at him and comforted him, "They should have gone to the innermost level."
"Why do you say that?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head to look at her.
Wang Xinran explained, "They haven't moved the stone platform copper plate in this stone chamber at all, which means they know that there is no hope of cracking these mechanisms. After pushing open the stone door, they rushed in and wanted to pass before the mechanism was triggered. They may have rushed to the next stone chamber before the mechanism was started. The man controlled by the iron worm should have run at the end of the team."
Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. A black-haired monkey fell dead in the corner of the stone chamber. This monkey should be the original host of the iron nematode. Zhao Ying and others rushed forward and triggered the mechanism. The monkey woke up and came out of the Bingjian to attack them. The shells in the stone chamber showed that they had shot and stopped the monkey from approaching. As for the person controlled by the iron nematode, the reason why the person ran at the end of the team was not because he ran slowly, but because he stayed at the end and pushed up the stone door behind to prevent the vines of the eater tree from chasing in the fourth stone chamber.
After trying to communicate in vain, Lu Jiahui turned around and walked back, shook her head at the two of them.
"Give me another three minutes." Zhang Shukai turned his head and said to everyone.
"Don't worry," Wang Xinran waved his hand and turned to Wu Zhongyuan, "What is the sixth door?"
"The Jingmen belongs to fire, and according to the classification of good and bad luck, it belongs to small good luck." Wu Zhongyuan replied.
"The five elements belong to fire?" Wang Xinran frowned slightly.
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "The mechanisms in the stone chamber before were mostly corresponding to the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and the mechanisms inside were probably related to fire."
Wang Xinran did not respond. No matter what mechanism it was inside, it had been triggered by Zhao Ying and others. Zhao Ying and others invisibly acted as pathfinders.
It was said that it was three minutes, but it might have been ready before three minutes. Zhang Shukai was ready. This time he brought back the remote control*, which could be easily detonated from a safe distance.
Before the detonation, the four people put on gas masks as usual. Since they used advanced directional blasting devices, the explosion sound was much smaller than the sound of blowing up the gas cylinder.
After the air waves dissipated, the four of them returned to the door and saw a crack breaking open at the bottom of the stone door. Wang Xinran took the claw hammer in Lu Jiahui's hand and knocked off the lower part of the stone door that pressed against the stone on the top door.
Removed the gravel, Wang Xinran took off the gas mask, tilted her head, and tried to observe the situation inside the stone chamber through the gap, but the previously exploded gap was just blocked by the top door stone protruding from the ground, and the situation inside could not be seen.
Although you can't see the situation in the stone chamber, you can smell the smell emitted from the stone chamber. The sixth stone chamber must have been too hot not long ago, and the air was filled with a strong burnt smell.
"Someone was burned to death inside." Wang Xinran tilted his head and looked at Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer the conversation.
Wang Xinran made a gesture to Lu Jiahui, and the two stepped forward to push the stone gate. Zhang Shukai held guns in both hands, focusing on alert.
After the stone door was pushed open, the smell of burnt became stronger and stronger. The first thing that caught my eye was the stone platform. As the stone door opened became larger and larger, the stone chamber was completely exposed to Wu Zhongyuan's vision. Wang Xinran's previous guess was correct. Someone was indeed burned to death. There was only one corpse, located in the northeast corner, with a male corpse. The corpse was relatively complete. The clothes on his body were not completely burned by the fire, and even his hair was still there.
Such injuries should not be fatal. Rather than saying that this person was burned to death, it was better to say that he was choked to death by thick smoke.
Seeing that Zhao Ying was not in this stone chamber, Wu Zhongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the stone platform ahead.
"Be careful." Wang Xinran said.
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer the conversation and walked straight to the stone platform to wipe the dust on the stone platform.
This stone platform is somewhat similar to the stone platform in the stone chamber above. There are also copper plates on the stone platform, but the copper plate here is not a five-ring plate, but a one-ring plate, with only sixty-four hexagrams.
In addition, there are three copper plates on the stone platform in the previous stone chamber, but there are nine copper plates on this stone platform, which is only half the size of a five-ring copper plate.
Nine copper plates are arranged horizontally, vertically and threely, and two words are engraved above each copper plate.
The first copper plate engraved on it is "Shame."
The second copper plate engraved with "Provocation."
The third copper plate engraved on it is "Suppression."
The fourth copper plate engraved with "Deception."
The fifth copper plate is engraved with "Shi Huan."
The sixth copper plate engraved on it is "Disobedience."
The seventh copper plate engraved on it is "betrayal."
The eighth copper plate is engraved with "Backoff."
The ninth copper plate engraved with "empathy."
When Wu Zhongyuan looked at the copper plate, Wang Xinran walked to him, looked at the copper plate on the stone platform and asked in a low voice, "What do he want to test you?"
"He was asking me what I should do if I encountered these nine situations." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Why did he ask about such a question?" Wang Xinran was puzzled, "What's the point of asking about such a question?"
"You don't understand?" Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at her.
Wang Xinran shook his head.
Wu Zhongyuan said, "He is testing whether I have the character and pattern to achieve great things."
Seeing that Wang Xinran was still not very clear, Wu Zhongyuan explained in detail, "These nine behaviors are actually arranged according to the position of a person, from low to high. If the contempt is that others look down on me, if my status is very high, they will not look down on me. Then they will provoke me. If my status is higher, they may suppress me. If the status continues to improve, they may encounter deception. They are arranged in this order. He wants to know what I will deal with after encountering these nine situations."
Wang Xinran nodded and asked, "Is it difficult?"
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "It cannot be described as difficult or easy. This tests not my IQ and knowledge, but my personality and pattern."
"The rewards here are definitely better than those in the previous level. You must be careful." Wang Xinran said.
Wu Zhongyuan nodded and reached out to turn the first copper plate.
"Have you thought about it?" Wang Xinran didn't expect Wu Zhongyuan to take action immediately.
"The more you think about these questions, the easier it is to shake your original intention." Wu Zhongyuan pointed one of the hexagrams at "slighting."
"What does this figure mean?" Wang Xinran asked, pointing at the hexagram.
"What does it mean to me?" Wu Zhongyuan said casually.
"Do you have no graphics to be brave after knowing shame?" Wang Xinran asked.
"Yes, but I don't like it," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "If others look down on me, I have to make them look down on me. Why do you have to live for them? If they laugh at me for not being stinky, should I practice farting hard every day?"
With Wang Xinran's lips curled, Wu Zhongyuan stretched his hand to the second copper plate. After pushing it, it moved. It was able to push the disc, which means that the first question was answered correctly.
The second question is "provocation." Wang Xinran couldn't understand the hexagram, so he could only ask again, "What does this figure mean?"
"This is the Shike Gua that is shaking from the upper and lower," Wu Zhongyuan explained, "which means lightning and thunder, and beat him directly."
After hearing Wu Zhongyuan's explanation, Wang Xinran slammed her tongue and shook her head, "Look clearly, the other party is just provoking, not attacking."
"Provocation is a precursor to attack," said Wu Zhongyuan. "My senior brother once said that if a person wants to bully you, he will come tentatively. If you scold you today, he will dare to kick you tomorrow. If you don't react anymore, he will dare to go to your house to grab things the day after tomorrow. If you still tolerate it, he will dare to sleep with your wife the day after tomorrow. It is the stupidest behavior to bear it. It is necessary to endure it until someone wants to sleep with your wife. If you kill him to go to jail? When he first scolds you, he will curse you directly, and ensure that there will be no more trouble in the future. Eliminate hidden dangers in the bud, and both sides will suffer small losses."
Wang Xinran did not respond because Wu Zhongyuan had already started to rotate the third disc. If the third disc could be rotated, it means that he answered the second question correctly.
It moved, the third copper plate was turned, and the third problem was "suppression."
Wang Xinran dared not question Wu Zhongyuan's opinion anymore, "What does this figure mean?"
"It means to make things bigger," Wu Zhongyuan said. "Suppression is the superior who wears the subordinates' shoes. If the superior suppresses me, I will not disobey him or her face and heart. I will make things bigger and make everyone know that we are not compatible. In this way, he will not dare to wear my shoes because everyone knows that I have had a fight with him. As long as he treats me a little badly, he is taking personal revenge."
As soon as Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, a slight vibration and squeaking friction sound came from the stone chamber. The friction sound came from the stone wall on the right and gradually moved towards the stone wall on the left.
When they heard the friction sound, the two were not panicked because the friction sound was very slow. If it was triggered by the aggressive mechanism, the speed would not be so slow.
When the friction sound stopped, Wu Zhongyuan tried to push the fourth copper plate to "deception."
Knowing that Wang Xinran must ask, Wu Zhongyuan took the initiative to explain, "This is a yangsheng and Yinsheng hexagram. If I don't have hope for the person who deceives me, I will pretend not to know. If I still have hope for him, I will expose him and remind him not to be disloyal from me."
Wu Zhongyuan did not stop and directly pushed the fifth copper plate, which could also be promoted. The corresponding problem of this disc is "Shi Huan." Shi Huan is an ancient word and is rarely used now. It roughly means to win the favor of others.
"What does this hexagram mean?" Wang Xinran was very curious.
"Treat." Wu Zhongyuan said casually. Seeing Wang Xinran frowning, he explained, "Good medicine does not necessarily mean bitter, bitter taste does not necessarily mean good medicine. Faithful words are not necessarily bad, and unpleasant words are not necessarily good advice. You don't treat those who try to make you happy. Do you treat those who scold you every day? You are crazy."
Wang Xinran did not respond. If it were based on the current moral standards, Wu Zhongyuan's explanation would definitely fail, at least it was not considered high-end. But if you think about it carefully, his answer is more frank and more in line with human nature.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan successfully pushed the sixth bronze plate, Wang Xinran breathed a sigh of relief.
The sixth copper plate is "disobedience."
This time, Wang Xinran did not ask what the hexagram meant, because Wu Zhongyuan had used this hexagram before, and it was a yang-shen-shen hexagram. There was no need to explain this hexagram. If the disobedience is sincere advice, then accept it humbly. If the disobedience is an irresponsible offense, then severely punish it.
