Through Time Chapter 91

“Is this the Lupin Lock?!”

A brilliant light burst out of Wang Tiezhu’s eyes!

He was a member of the Mo family, and was considered a relatively core disciple.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been posted to Xianyang, let alone have the authority to contact the Mo family’s great master!

However, he was not familiar with the Lupin Lock.

Because it was the test used by the Mo family to select their inner disciples!

What is an inner disciple?

The great sons of the Mo family, the elders of the Mo family, are all chosen from the inner disciples!

They are the true soul of the entire Mo family!

Now, by virtue of finding Zhao Lang, the new head of the Nong Clan, he had finally been qualified to enter the inner disciple examination!

Looking at the small pieces of wood in front of him, Wang Tiezhu couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

But he didn’t know how to start.

These small wooden blocks, from the outside, did not appear to have any mechanism and seemed to be naturally formed.

Luckily, Vantage was quick to explain, with a smile, that

“Each of these Lupin locks has its own mechanism, and there are difficult and easy ones.”

Vantage picked up a small block of wood and broke it twice with great force, saying that

“The easiest one is this Four Seasons Lock; see how no matter how hard you pull, it won’t budge.”

“But if you find the trick, give it a little tug.”

Vantage flicked on the small wooden block and the whole thing collapsed almost instantly.

Seeing this scene, Wang Tiezhu instantly sucked in a breath of cold air!

“This mechanism is actually so exquisite!”

Hearing this, Vantage could not help but feel a little smug, in terms of the subtlety of the mechanism.

No one under the heavens could compare with the Mozi!

At this point, Vantage continued to say that

“Here are also the Eightfold Lock, the December Lock, and the Twenty-four Section Lock, each of which is twice as difficult as the previous one.”

“Of course, the higher the difficulty you unlock, the better it will be for your future development.”

“For example, old me, I unlocked this twenty-four section lock back then.”

Wang Tiezhu nodded his head with a grave expression, indicating that he understood.

Soon, Vantage took out a new Four Seasons Lock and gave it to Wang Tiezhu.

There is no fixed situation for the Lu Ban lock, it is about the shape changing while the God remains the same.

Otherwise, after such a long heritage, all of them would have been cracked long ago.

Wang Tiezhu took it over and began to look at it carefully.

Vantage wasn’t in a hurry either.

Unlocking the Lu Ban lock was not a simple matter, as if, although he told Wang Tiezhu that he had unlocked the eighteen inset locks.

But he did not say that it had taken him nearly a month to unlock it.

Soon half an hour had passed and Wang Tiezhu finally started to do it.

Only after making several consecutive attempts, he did not succeed in untying it.

Wang Tiezhu was getting a little anxious, so he used both hands and suddenly there was a crunching sound, and the whole Lu Ban lock opened instantly.

This time the mechanism needed to be pressed in two places at the same time.

When Wang Tiezhu saw this, a hint of joy instantly appeared on his face!

Opening the Lu Ban lock meant that one could enter the inner door!

But soon, he looked towards Vantage with some apprehension.

For in fact he had not seen through the mechanism inside, but merely happened to do so.

Vantage, however, seemed not to notice, and with a smile on his face said that

“Good, having unlocked this Lupin Lock, you are now an inner disciple of the Mo family!”

“Do you want to try this eight-sided lock again?”

Wang Tiezhu listened with a hint of intent, but soon, he shook his head and laughed bitterly, saying

“Vantage, my disciple is foolish, and unlocking the Four Seasons Lock is already a pure fluke.”

“The Eightfold Lock is twice as difficult as the Four Seasons Lock, so my disciple will not make a fool of himself.”

As for the December Lock and the Twenty-Four Seasons Lock that followed, he dared not even think about it.

Hearing this, Vantage nodded slightly instead and said that

“One should have self-awareness, and you need not be presumptuous. Although the way of organs is not suitable for you, you can certainly have a place in the way of architecture of the Mo family.”

Wang Tiezhu was instantly grateful to

“Many thanks, Vantage.”

Watching Vantage prepare to put away these Luban locks, Wang Tiezhu asked, curiously

“Vantage, then are there any more difficult Lupin locks than these in the Mo family?”

Vantage hesitated for a moment, then took out a round wooden ball with small pillars inserted into it from his arms.

Wang Tiezhu looked in front of him, the oddly styled Luban locks coming out, and said in surprise that

“Vantage, isn’t this your token?”

Every disciple of the Mo family could still recognise their own token.

A hint of oddity appeared on Vantage’s face and said that

“This is an ink family token no less, and this is likewise the Thirty-six Circumference Locks handed down by Lu Ban himself.”

“At that time, Mozi and Lu Ban were also close friends, and the two of them made a bet and sealed the token of the Mozi family, Vantage, within this Thirty-Six Circumstances Lock.”

“To see if Mozi could open this lock.”

Hearing the story of the primordial Mozi, Wang Tiezhu was extremely curious and asked

“Did Mozi open it then?”

But after asking, Wang Tiezhu knew that he had made a foolish mistake.

If it had been unlocked, the object would not have become an Mozi token.

With a few moments of incredulity, he said that

“So, the real token of our Mo family is within these thirty-six circumference locks?”

Vantage nodded with emotion and said that

“Indeed, and before Mozi died, he gambled that whoever could unlock this lock would be the next generation of Vantage.”

Wang Tiezhu froze for a moment and said that

“Isn’t that too hasty.”

Vantage smiled and did not explain much, although Mozi had such last words, but this was kept by successive generations of Vantage.

So the order was, first to become Vantage Son, then to get these Thirty-Six Zhoutian Locks.

Which Vantage Son would be all over the world for people to try.

What if someone really got lucky and opened it?

What if the other person is an unforgivable person?

Was the Mo family really going to make him a Vantage Point?

Only, there was still some regret in Vantage’s heart, and he had had the token for decades.

He had tried to unlock it from time to time during the day, but had not made any progress.

Looking at this Mohist token, for a while, both of them in the courtyard fell into deep thought.

Suddenly!

With a creak, the door of the courtyard was opened and Zhao Lang barged in with a breeze.

“Tiezhu, Master Teacher, you’re all here! That’s the best, I happen to have something to ask you guys!”

“I’m going to build a new manor and need a lot of craftsmen, do you have any acquaintances or others you can introduce?”

Wang Tiezhu and Vantage in the courtyard, looking at Zhao Lang and then at the Luban lock on the table, their minds were a little confused.

Jui Zi wanted to put all these Luban locks away, but by this time Zhao Lang had already seen them and smiled and said that

“Why don’t you all say anything? Hey… So it’s playing with the Lupin locks.”

Ordinary children might not have played with the Lupin Lock much, but Zhao Lang had grown up in an orphanage since he was a child in his last life.

The orphanage was poor and had no toys, so the old director learned to build the Luban Lock himself, as it only required wood and was the cheapest.

And there were many variations.

Zhao Lang was familiar with it and casually picked up the eight-sided lock on the table.

“Hey, this eight-sided lock is quite primitive.”

Zhao Long used both hands and gently toggled two positions on the eight-sided lock at the same time.

Click.

With a crunching sound, the entire Eight Square Lock instantly collapsed.

Wang Tiezhu’s eyes on the side instantly froze, and Vantage’s hand trembled.
