Endless thick clouds cover the left, right and rear, and only the road ahead is visible.

A doorway with a height of dozens of feet has four words carved in ancient Chinese characters: Dameng Academy

"Coming in this time, it feels different."

"It seems I can see farther and perceive things more clearly."

"There should be something I can reach this time, right? It's best to just give the treasure instead of asking for help..."

Thinking silently in his heart, Zhao Xing walked among the clouds and crossed the gate of the academy.

Just like the first time, many treasures still flashed before my eyes.

[Reincarnation Hall], [Questioning Platform], [Martial God Tower], [Secret Secret of Magic], [Tianji Pavilion], [Holy Beast Palace], [Fate Palace]... Pavilions, palace complexes, verandahs and overpasses, scattered all over the place.

It is well-organized, with endless mountains and mist, making you feel like you are in a fairyland.

But as we got closer, these places were submerged in the clouds one by one.

Wait, wait quietly.

In anticipation, a palace enlarged in his eyes, with golden light shining brightly, and finally stabilized completely.

"Huh? It's not the Questioning Platform, this is... the Tiangong Hall?"

Zhao Xing looked at the palace. He did not expect that after entering the palace, what would appear was not the Asking Heart Platform, but the Tiangong Hall.

"There are many treasures in Tiangong Hall, but they can be found in many places. It depends on which side hall I enter."

Zhao Xing secretly thought, and then stepped into the palace.

As soon as we entered, a burst of clouds and mist spewed out around us, and then dispersed, slowly revealing the real scene.

"Student Zhao Xing, welcome to the Xuanji Hall."

A low voice came from the clouds in front, and then a strange beast slowly walked out.

It is as big as a bull, similar to a unicorn, with thick black hair all over its body, bright eyes, a silver horn on its forehead, and it speaks human language.

After Zhao Xing saw the appearance of the strange beast clearly, he was slightly stunned.

The machine beast Xiezhi? He actually came to Xuanji Pavilion?

"I've seen the guardian." Zhao Xing quickly bowed his hands and saluted.

He is no stranger to Xuanji Pavilion. This Xie Zhi is the guardian. It also has another name: Dharma Beast.

Haechi is very intelligent and understands people's words and human nature. The national treasures of many dynasties have changed, sometimes it is a unicorn, sometimes a black bird, sometimes a real dragon, sometimes a phoenix. However, the status of Haezhi has always remained unchanged. In which dynasty?

, they are all national treasures.

It is also the guardian of the country. Although it is not the real magic beast Haechi in front of it, it is just a machine beast, but it contains the spirituality of the magic beast inside, and the body made of it is made of ninth-level materials, which is no different from the real thing.

The magic beast Xie Zhi looked at Zhao Xing and said, "You are only in the middle stage of Ju Yuan. The only thing suitable for you to break through is this Xuanji Pavilion."

Zhao Xing listened quietly.

"The way of heavenly work is multiplication and division, and the source of creation. The mechanism array inside mainly tests the students' wisdom and deduction and calculation ability. The mechanism array combines the five elements, the heavenly stems and the earthly branches."

"Each level, the difficulty will be doubled, but the rewards will also be doubled."

"If you can reach the end of Xuanji Pavilion, you can get a 'rare treasure'."

The Dharma Beast Haechi introduced.

Zhao Xing couldn't help but his heart was beating fast.

A rare treasure!

In addition to the grades one to nine of treasures, there are also 'rare treasures' and 'unparalleled treasures' at higher levels.

The so-called rare treasures are treasures that are rare within a dynasty for thousands of years. The quantity will not be too many, at most several digits.

As for the unique treasures, they cannot be found in the world today and have been passed down from ancient times.

Why is Zhao Xing excited?

Because during this period, Dameng Academy had not yet been raided by Emperor Wu, but these levels had not changed much!

He had passed these levels in his previous life!

"Ahead is the first level, the Mysterious Gate."

Haechi breathed softly, and then the fog in front of him dispersed, revealing a strange-shaped wooden door.

"The mysterious door has three mechanical locks on it. If you open the lock, you will pass the first level."

Zhao Xing suppressed his inner excitement, cupped his hands, and walked over.

The wooden door is five meters high and eight meters wide. The reason why it is unique in shape is that it is completely embedded in the wall and fits perfectly.

Everything else is extremely smooth, and the cracks in the door cannot be seen at all. There are three parts at a height of one meter.

Two of them stand out.

One is shaped like a bull's head, and the other is shaped like a snake.

One is embedded in the door, forming a plum blossom pattern.

"Zhaoyang Plum Blossom Lock, Chongguang Bull Head Lock, and Huangluo Snake Lock." Zhao Xing looked at these three mechanism locks and couldn't help but smile.

Although he is not proficient in the art of organization, he knows the answer.

Even know more than one solution.

I remembered it when I was a player, but it can still be used now, because this type of mechanism lock does not involve the use of its own vitality.

Haezhi also said that what is tested is the student's wisdom and calculation ability, as well as the understanding of the knowledge of the five elements and heavenly stems.

"The Zhaoyang Plum Blossom Lock and the Chongguang Niu Tou Lock are both heavenly stem locks, while the Huangluo Snake Lock is an earthly branch lock."

"These most basic parts are combined into a lock in a unique way. Each part needs to be moved to the corresponding position to unlock it."

Zhao Xing first unbuttoned the bull head buckle.

He pushed with his left hand and adjusted the position of the bull's head buckle so that one bull's head moved downwards and the other bull's head faced him.

The wall seems to be soft, and the bull head buckle can move inside without any restrictions, but it is impossible to pull it open with force.

Zhao Xing kept his left hand motionless and only used his right hand to operate. Pull back the bull head held in his right hand until the bull head reached the 'upper chapter' position, which is one-third of the Kun position.

Then the bull's head on the right hand is gently turned upward, and the lower bull's head is rotated accordingly, forming an up-and-down layout.

At this time, the bull head in the Xia Kun position has been detached, but it is still not untied.

You also need to move the bull head in the previous chapter position to the 'Chongguang' position, which is the 'shock position.'

Then rotate downward to two-thirds of the earthquake position and try to pull outward.

"Kakakaka~"

The two bull heads immediately retracted into the door, and a faint blue light lit up, which meant that one of the locks had been unlocked.

"It's fastest to use the Ganzhi method to solve it. Get one!"

Zhao Xing clapped his hands and walked to the Wild Luo Snake Lock on the other side.

The serpentine lock is placed across the door, about three feet in length, and is composed of secretly numb beads.

"The Wild Luo Snake Lock has one hundred and forty-six living beads and nine fixed beads. There are not many combinations. Half of them are hidden inside the door. This is where the difficulty is." Zhao Xing began to explore, looking for the fixed beads.

location.

The key to unlocking the snake lock is to find the nine and restore them to the wild position.

"Fortunately, I'm the only one here, no one is bothering me." When Zhao Xing unlocked it, he thought of some interesting things.

It is very interesting to break through this level. The snake-shaped lock will be restored at zero point, ensuring that four fixed beads are exposed outside.

This is the initial difficulty of the first level.

But if the first one of the day intentionally causes trouble and hides the fixed bead, or if a fool is incompetent and furious at the snake lock and moves the live bead randomly, then it will be more difficult for the people behind to unlock it, which will cause trouble for others.

So every time at 0 o'clock, there will be a queue here, trying to be the first to solve it, so as not to let others cause trouble for me, and then cause trouble to others.

"Done!" After fumbling for a moment, Zhao Xing reset the nine fixing beads.

Hiss~ The snake-shaped lock quickly retracted into the door, and at the same time, a blue light appeared in its original position.

"Yes, he is quite talented." Haechi looked at Zhao Xing's actions and couldn't help but nodded slightly. "It seems that the first level is not difficult for him."

The first two locks were solved so quickly, so obviously the last one wasn't a problem.

Only the last one is left, Zhaoyang Plum Blossom Lock.

It is also the more difficult of the three locks.

"Nine-petal plum blossoms have to be restored once. Fortunately, the heavenly stems only have the Zhaoyang position, so the difficulty is much easier. If it is more difficult, the inner stems must correspond to the heavenly stems, and the outer ones must correspond to the hours, which will be troublesome." Zhao Xing thought about it.

After a moment, tap one of the plum blossoms lightly.

After pressing it, a sound came from inside. Zhao Xing listened carefully and then continued with the second one.

The first step is screening.
