In Du Heng's line of sight, he could see twelve round pits on the innermost side of the mezzanine.

The round pit itself is unremarkable, but the size of the round pit, Du Heng was surprised to find that it fits perfectly with the Sky Ice Bead!
"Boss, I think this seems to be a mechanism? Could it be that the twelve round holes need to be filled before the next move can be made?" The bodyguard continued to report the information he had seen and analyzed.

Du Heng responded firmly: "That's right, almost."

Under the gaze of the sky eye, he has already understood what he saw in the mezzanine through the sky eye information.

This is a door lock.

It is a sect named Tianbingzong, which was set up with Taoist talismans combined with mechanism techniques.The door lock needs to accumulate enough celestial ice orbs, or put enough celestial ice beads in the round pit, to open it successfully.

As for how many sky ice beads are needed?This depends on the air-conditioning of the Sky Ice Bead that has been accumulated in the door lock.

After reading this piece of Sky Eye information.

Du Heng was thoughtful, and he seemed to have an answer to the previous doubts.

"Go on, I understand."

After returning to the tree, Du Heng told Lao Feng and Old Man Sun what he had seen and known.

"...Because of this door lock, I have more speculations about the previous doubts. Let me talk about it, can you listen and see?"

"Since this is a door lock, there should be a house or an underground space behind the door. It may be a secret place or the location of the Tianbing Sect. It is possible. This door lock needs to accumulate air-conditioning from the Sky Ice Beads, so the water flow of the cold spring So to flow upwards, is it because the Sky Ice Sect uses some special method to transport the air-conditioning water from the Sky Ice Pearl to the door lock?"

"That's the first speculative hypothesis."

"On the basis of its correct establishment, I can definitely figure out why this group of golden monkeys can get the flat peach fruit from the century-old flat peach tree every year."

Both Old Feng and Old Sun listened attentively.

Du Heng may not be right, but anyway, listening to it will not hurt you, it is always a way of thinking.

"It may take a year or twelve months for the cold spring flowing upwards to deliver enough cold air from the Sky Ice Bead for the lock to open the door."

"And at the bottom of the cold spring pool in the cave on the top of the mountain, maybe because of the opening of the door this time, there will be a passage going down at the same time. These golden monkeys come down from the passage that appeared this time to pick peaches every year."

"When the air-conditioning of the Sky Ice Bead is exhausted, the door should close by itself, and the passageway will also disappear."

"The door is closed now, so we can only dig through the permafrost and enter through the corridor. Our passage should be the main entrance, and the passage on the top of the mountain may be a backup escape secret passage? But it may be completely opposite."

Sun Yongji and Lao Feng agree with Du Heng's hypothetical logic, but because everything is based on assumptions, they cannot be 100% sure.

"Perhaps Layman Du, you guessed it right, but it will take time to verify it."

"According to the speed at which the door lock accumulates the air-conditioning of the Sky Ice Bead, wouldn't it take up to a year to verify it?"

"You only have two celestial ice beads in your hand, but there are twelve round pits. You can't unlock the door with just two beads, right? That's good luck."

Du Heng shook his head: "If my above speculation is true, it should not be opened."

"Before we speculated that my two blue-feathered divine birds were upset because they didn't find the century-old peach gum."

"And I got the hundred-year-old flat peach gum about fifty days ago last month. That is to say, if my speculations are all followed, the door lock was just opened fifty days ago. Now the sky ice beads accumulated in the door lock There should be very little air-conditioning."

"So if you want to verify my speculation, you have to wait half a year, or find more Sky Ice Orbs."

"Anyway, we won't be able to open the lock in the short term."

"What will Layman Nadu plan to do next?"

Du Heng pondered for a moment: "I have a preliminary idea, Lao Feng, you want to stay here and wait for the wooden ruler to accumulate, right?"

"Of course, but instead of waiting here, I will live in the village and come down to inspect once a day."

"In this case, I'm going to send the Sky Ice Orb in my hand and the Sky Ice Orb at home, and put them into the round hole of the door lock, so that they can accumulate the air-conditioning of the Sky Ice Orb without loss. Old Feng, you Let’s take a look by the way to see if the door lock shows any signs of opening.”

"But if I go according to my guess, even if you wait for your wooden ruler to accumulate, the door lock will not move. But this is all speculation, so you have to try it."

Old Feng naturally approved of this plan.

It's just a matter of watching.

Du Heng continued: "I'm trying to find out if there are more sky ice beads. There are twelve round holes. It seems that sky ice beads are not rare objects. Maybe I can find more."

"As for other doubts such as the Miasma of Peach Blossoms that we don't even have a guess about the direction, everyone has time to think about it slowly."

"Post in the group whatever you think of, maybe it's the right idea."

"That's the only way to do it."

"I think so."

Seeing that both Sun and Feng agreed, Du Heng clapped his hands and summoned everyone: "Finally, we will check everything again. It will be 45:[-] in the afternoon. If we can't find any more useful information before [-] o'clock, then we will go back the same way." .”

Everyone responded in unison and dispersed again.

Du Heng also climbed up the hundred-year-old flat peach tree, watching the branches with his heavenly eyes, trying to see if he could find more things.

Time flies.

Five p.m.

Du Heng and his subordinates, together with the golden monkeys who were unconvinced and climbed the tree to find a circle of peaches, returned to the century-old flat peach tree with nothing and exhausted.

"Since you can't find any more information, go out."

There was no accident in returning the same way.

The two little green balls flew up by themselves first.

Du Heng and others and fifteen golden monkeys followed closely behind, and all climbed up or were pulled up by ropes.

Niu Facai, who had been standing by the pit all the time, saw that the boss was fine.

Immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The problem of the boss's personal exploration can't be changed, but he is a war scum, and he is afraid that he will not be able to stay with the boss.

Now the boss is unscathed, God bless!

"Boss, do you have any discomfort? Do you need to go to the hospital for an examination?" Seeing the boss's exhausted appearance, Niu Facai asked warmly.

Du Heng shook his head and refused: "No, let's go back to the village together."

"Did you find anything more on the ground this afternoon?" Du Heng asked.

The head of the survey team respectfully reported: "The scope of the survey has been expanded, and no more unusual things have been found."

"Then it seems that this side should be temporarily over, let's go."

On the way back to the village.

Du Heng immediately opened the phone address book, wanting to see who to ask for news about Tianbingzhu.

Soon, his finger landed on Dai Feng's name.

In terms of being well-informed, these aristocratic families with historical heritage bear the brunt.Dai Feng himself also knows and has been to the underground space of Tianxingkeng, and his mouth is relatively strict, so it is always right to ask him first.

"Huh? How did you know that I was going to call you?" Dai Feng's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone, "We have a good understanding!"
