A moment later.
“I understand it.”
Ye Feng and Xu Jingxin spoke almost at the same time.
“You go first.” Xu Jingxin politely gave the right to speak to Ye Feng.
“Why don’t you tell me? I’ll see if we’re thinking the same thing.” Ye Feng made a polite gesture.
“Can the two of you stop talking in riddles? What is the meaning of these words?” Ah Can really couldn’t stand the two of them going back and forth. He was really anxious.
Xu Jingxin didn’t continue to be modest and gave her answer. “The top should be ‘three,’ the bottom should be ‘five,’ the left should be ‘one,’ and the right should be ‘two.’”
“How do you know?” Ah Can looked at Xu Jingxin blankly as if he was looking at a god.
Lan Xingyue, Fuuma Jianwu, and the other four members of the Sky Wolf Squad had the same expression.
Only Ye Feng had a smile on his face, he was thinking the same thing as Xu Jingxin.
“Let Ye Feng explain.” Xu Jingxin couldn’t stand everyone’s burning gazes. She was more suited to stay behind the scenes and be the female advisor.
Ye Feng could only take the ball that she kicked and continue to explain to the crowd. “It’s very simple, the proud dragon’s repentance is nine and six, leap into the abyss is nine and four, the lucky yellow robe is six and five, and no blame, no fame is six and four. Nine minus six equals three, nine minus four equals five, six minus five equals one, and six minus four equals two. So the four numbers are three, five, one, and two.”
Everyone was dumbfounded by what they heard. It felt like they were listening to a heavenly book.
After a long time, Ah Can could not help but ask, “Then why is it reducing? Instead of adding?”
“Good question. This question has exposed your level of education.” Ye Feng teased before continuing. “To the ancients, numbers start from one and end at nine. Therefore, it could only be a decrease, not an increase. Of course, if I’m wrong, can’t I just add it again?”
When Ah Can heard Ye Feng’s first sentence, he thought he was praising him. However, when he heard the last two sentences, he realized that he was insulting him. He was instantly speechless.
“In other words, these numbers are related to the activation of this stone tablet?” Lan Xingyue finally understood and was even more surprised.
If not for Ye Feng and Xu Jingxin, these two freaks, even if they brought the Xiang King’s secret treasure map, they would not have thought of this possibility.
Indeed, comparing people would infuriate one to death!
“Let’s give it a try. There’s no other way now.”
Ye Feng put away Xiang King’s secret treasure map, feeling helpless.
Who would have thought that after finding the treasure, they would be blocked outside, unable to enter?
If word got out, people would laugh at him.
“I’ll do it.”
Ah Can took the mission first and was about to pick up the Luoyang shovel to knock on the stone slab again.
“Come back, do you know how many times to knock?” Ye Feng quickly called him back.
“Didn’t the map say three, five, one, two?” Ah Can scratched his head and looked at Ye Feng in confusion.
“Then what do those small holes on the stone slab mean? Is it for the sake of looking good?” Ye Feng felt that this usually intelligent king of thieves seemed to have lost his intelligence.
“Oh, I understand. Subtract the number on the stone tablet from the number on the map, right?” Ah Can’s eyes immediately lit up, thinking that he had found the correct answer.
“This time, it’s adding.” Xu Jingxin could only remind him helplessly.
“Didn’t you just minus the numbers? How did it become adding now?” Ah Can scratched his head, feeling like his brain cells were running out.
“Nonsense. The numbers on the map were three, five, one, two, while the numbers on the stone slab were four, two, three, one. If it’s a reduction, it would be negative numbers. Are you going to tell me what to knock?” Ye Feng questioned in a bad mood.
Ah Can was in a complete mess. “Alright, alright. I’m already totally confused. Then tell me how to knock. I’ll listen to you, okay?”
Ye Feng sighed, he could only personally instruct, “Knock seven times on the south side.”
Ah Can identified the direction, then walked over and knocked seven times on the edge with the Luoyang shovel.
“Knock three times on the west side.”
“Knock seven times on the north side.”
“Knock four times on the east side.”
Ah Can followed Ye Feng’s instructions and knocked on the four sides of the stone slab.
When they were done, everyone held their breath and looked at the stone slab.
However, the stone slab remained motionless.
“Failed again?”
Everyone’s hearts sank, and they felt a deep sense of defeat.
However, at this moment, the stone slab suddenly shook.
Then, it started to sink bit by bit.
Everyone was shocked and at a loss.
Ye Feng only hesitated for a second, he took his backpack and rushed forward. “Follow me.”
Then, he jumped onto the stone slab first.
Only then did the others react. They hurriedly grabbed their tools and jumped onto the stone slab.
“D*mn, this is so magical. This is probably the oldest elevator, right?”
As the stone slab continued to fall, everyone became more and more surprised.
This was built more than 2,000 years ago, and it could still be activated.
“It’s simply divine workmanship!”
Even Xu Jingxin could not help but sigh.
“It’s said that the Mo family’s mechanism techniques were very powerful at that time. We can’t underestimate the ancients.” Ye Feng admired the mechanisms of this secret treasure, he really did not know how it was built two thousand years ago.
Everyone agreed and nodded.
The stone slab fell for more than ten meters before coming to a stop.
In front of everyone, a deep hole about two meters high appeared.
It was pitch-black inside.
A gust of cold wind blew through the cave entrance, causing everyone to involuntarily shiver.
Everyone turned on their flashlights and shone them inside.
This tunnel was very wide and deep. Even with the light of the flashlight, he could not find the end.
“Let’s go in quickly.”
After Lan Xingyue arrived at the bottom, she suddenly became unusually active and was about to take the lead to enter the tunnel.
“Wait a minute.” Ye Feng hurriedly grabbed her.
“What’s wrong?” Lan Xingyue looked at him in confusion.
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Ye Feng glanced at her meaningfully.
Lan Xingyue’s eyes flashed with panic. “I… I’m not in a hurry. Didn’t we already come down? What are we waiting here for?”
“Who said we’re not going in? However, you must be careful, or you will die without a burial place.”
Ye Feng said as he took a rooster from Fuuma Jianwu, he untied the rope around the chicken leg and threw it into the tunnel.
“Gu gu gu…”
The rooster stayed where it was for a moment before walking into the tunnel.
“What is this?” Fuuma Jianwu looked at Ye Feng in confusion.
“No one has come in here for more than 2,000 years. Who knows if there are any harmful gases in the air? Moreover, who knew if there were any traps inside? If we enter rashly, we will only die.”
Everyone heard Ye Feng’s explanation and felt that it made sense.
“You seem to be very experienced. It doesn’t seem like your first time robbing a tomb.” Lan Xingyue looked at Ye Feng in confusion, as if she wanted an answer.
