Chapter 1773 Deja Vu
Li Chengxi is not good at magic, which has something to do with the fact that he has been a god for a short time, and it is also related to his priesthood.

Li Chengxi does not have any magic-related priesthood. The priesthood of magical machinery is actually related to alchemy, not magic. The two are related, but independent of each other.

If Li Chengxi had the relevant clergymanship, it would be easy and he could easily break the spell in a few steps. If not, it would be more troublesome.

Oldey said that if you don’t go to the scene and see it with your own eyes, you can’t accurately judge how to solve it.

It’s not that Oldie wanted to travel to Yang Yiyi’s place. No matter how good an electrician is, he can’t remotely command and handle complex faults based on descriptions over the phone. He still has to come over in person to take a look.

Sealing is the most complicated spell type in magic. This spell type is basically in the school of conjuration. Alde is good at the school of conjuration, so she knows very well that different seals cannot be generalized.

Even if Oldie came in person, it would probably take a long time of observation and research to figure out how to safely bypass the seal and open the box. This is not something that can be solved by just taking a bottle of potion and smashing it up. It is a technical problem.

But Oldey also said that since a key to open the box was preset, it means that the seal was established with the intention of taking the contents of the box out in the future.

Normal seals wouldn’t do this, especially if the seal was intended to last almost semi-permanently.

This situation is rather special. Generally, the things in the box are more important, and they are placed here now to temporarily strengthen the seal. They will be taken out when they are not needed.

If the Qingyang Whip left by Qingshan Sanren was placed here, the people who lived in Erlang Mountain at that time would definitely not want to keep it here forever. Qingshan Sanren said very clearly that he left it here for Sanqing to wait for the destined person, and the destined person hasn’t come yet, and you use it for other things, that is really not very authentic.

In other words, this is a temporary plug-in. It is indeed directly connected to the seal, but the connection is not as tight as the other parts of the seal. It can be taken out safely if it is opened in a specific order.

So Alde suggested that you look around carefully. Since there is a mechanism to take it out, it is better to take it in the correct way.

But the problem is, I don’t know the right way.

The most suspicious things around are the stone slabs. Grooves can be seen under the base of the stone slabs, which means that this thing can be pushed, but in what order?

Or does it form a certain pattern?
There is no hint for this either.

Li Chengxi felt like he was playing an old domestic stand-alone game, the puzzles were arranged like formations.

He was thinking about what to do. Yang Yiyi saw that Li Chengxi didn’t say anything and didn’t know what to do either. The group of people just stood beside the box staring at each other.

Until a burst of hurried footsteps seemed to be approaching.

“somebody is coming!”

This interrupted Li Chengxi’s thoughts, and he said:
“Hide first, hide in an inconspicuous corner, vixen, cast invisibility on everyone.”

The dense footsteps should be from the group of bandits. These guys are also here to look for treasures. Maybe they know some information that Yang Yiyi doesn’t know.

So hide first and see what these bandits are going to do in this situation.

Everyone quickly jumped down from the platform where the box was placed and hid in the dark corner in the front left of the room. The vixen performed an sleight of hand trick, like a transparent wall, making everyone temporarily invisible.

Just as I finished all this, I saw a group of people squeezing into the room. Seeing the stone tablets of different heights scattered all over the floor, they seemed a little confused.

“Everyone keep your eyes open, whoever finds the treasure will be rewarded handsomely!”

Someone shouted, and a group of bandits rushed in, like dogs looking for places to mark their territory, sniffing here and there.

There are a lot of bandits, and there are dozens of them coming in now. When they heard that there was a huge reward, they all rushed in hurriedly and looked around.

To be honest, these bandits searched more thoroughly than Yang Yiyi and her gang. They were just short of just lying on the ground, sweeping away the dust and feeling the floor.

But they were meticulous but careless. They completely ignored the grooves that allowed the stone tablet to move. No one reported this, and they just rushed in. No one even paid attention to Yang Yiyi and her friends’ footprints, which were soon trampled. It felt like working very hard, but doing nothing.

After all, they are just a group of bandits. Forget about expecting them to be meticulous.

Because there were so many bandits and the room was not particularly big, some of them soon got close to Yang Yiyi and the others.

Invisibility does not mean disappearing. You can still touch it if you reach out your hand. Besides, there are more than ten people on Yang Yiyi’s side. Even if they are squeezed together and cannot be seen using invisibility, they are still a big group.

If the bandits come closer, they will be discovered immediately.

Yang Yiyi and the others were ready for a fight, and even Ran Xiaoyi picked up a snake-head staff and prepared to perform a ritual.

At this time, a bandit was heard shouting:
“Found it! I found it! There’s a box!”

This shout attracted all the bandits wandering around the room, and they all ran towards the platform where the box was placed.

It is unnecessary to expect a group of bandits to understand the law (no matter what law it is). Their first reaction when they surround the box is to open it violently with red faces.

Li Chengxi saw them trying to pry it open with their hands at first, and when they couldn’t do that, they used sticks and swords to chop it up. As a result, all the weapons were broken, and not even the gold paint on the box fell off.

This thing is protected by a spell. Unless you can output more than the spell’s carrying limit at once, there is no hope.

Seeing that they couldn’t pry the box open or break it, the bandits started trying to find a way to carry the box away. But just like Yang Yiyi who tried for a long time but couldn’t move the box, the bandits were also helpless.

Then they tied it up with ropes and tried to pull it down, but the ropes broke and it still didn’t work.

The box and the altar were almost one piece, and the altar didn’t move at all, no matter how many people pushed and pulled it.

Alday was right. It was impossible to crack it simply by brute force.

“There’s nothing we can do. Quickly notify the people outside to bring the gunpowder barrels over.”

My goodness, your brute force method is too violent.

Li Chengxi looked at what these bandits were doing and suddenly felt a little disappointed.

I thought they had some special ideas for solving the problem, but after all this time they ended up with this?
They definitely couldn’t be allowed to blow it up. Not to mention whether they could open the box, Yang Yiyi and the others were still hiding in the corner. If the powder keg exploded, no one would be in good shape.

But it wasn’t time to jump out and fight immediately. Li Chengxi organized his thoughts.

The only thing he had on hand that he had not used yet was the Iron Knife Drinking Horse, or rather, the photo of the complex nine-square grid pattern inside the Iron Knife Drinking Horse.

The room is a square, and at first glance it really seems to be similar to the nine-square grid of Tiedao Drinking Horse.

But it doesn’t match.

There are 9981 grids in Tiedao Drinking Horse. Among these 81 grids, some grids are marked with black dots.

Assuming the black dot refers to the stone tablet…

This is not right either, the numbers don’t match.

Although not all of the eighty-one grids are marked with black dots, the number is much greater than the stone tablets in the room.

How to solve this mystery?
