Chapter 43: The Secret of the Compass
At night, Xiahou Chun told Zhan Taoxian a story on the sofa in the living room, telling the story of Huo Yuanjia and Bruce Lee, Zhan Taoxian listened to it with relish, and fell asleep unconsciously, so Xiahouchun took Zhan Taoxian back to her bedroom, took off her socks and covered her with a quilt.

Standing at the door, Xiahou Chun looked at Zhan Taoxian who was sleeping on the bed, and felt that she was very well-behaved and cute when she was asleep, very quiet, and the usually delicate Zhan Taoxian was like two people, maybe this is her quiet side, she is so cute, like a little princess, her white and tender face makes people want to kiss her.
Xiahou Chun gently closed the door, returned to his room, looked at the golden compass on the table, and made up his mind that he must protect Zhan Taoxian and never let Zhan Taoxian be harmed because of this compass.
Now the cloak man must have known that the compass is in Xiahou Chun's hands, and it is even very likely that he has seen Xiahou Chun and Zhan Taoxian go home together, so Zhan Taoxian will also be in danger, with the nature of the cloak man, he will definitely come back to grab the compass.
Therefore, now not only Xiahou Chun himself is in danger, but Zhan Taoxian is also very likely to be attacked by the cloaked man.
And the lives of the two are connected, so no matter what, Zhan Taoxian is always in danger.
Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of the cloak man as soon as possible, he will not die for a day, and Xiahou Chun will not be able to sleep and eat, like a thorn in his back.
If he just died, then Xiahou Chun would not be so anxious, mainly because he didn't want Zhan Taoxian to be affected, then he would be distressed.
This matter, the longer it drags on, the greater the danger of Zhan Taoxian, the cloaked man is hiding in the shadows, maybe there will be a sudden sneak attack at any time, and the cold yin is cold, Xiahou Chun can't guard against it at all.
Thousands of days to prevent thieves, instead of passive defense, it is better to take the initiative to attack, so Xiahou Chun decided to lure the snake out of the hole, use the trick to let the cloak man take the initiative to appear, and then lay a trap to give him a fatal blow, once and for all!
Thinking of this, a fierceness flashed in Xiahou Chun's eyes, after walking through the ghost gate once, his mentality has undergone a subtle change, people are forced out, before he was a little resistant to killing people, a little unable to do it, but now he has changed his mentality, and has become a decisive decision, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, leaving no future troubles!
Because Xiahou Chun has already understood that this is not the earth, but a world full of violence, it is even more of a jungle, the real natural selection, and the magician will always be superior to ordinary people.
There is harmony on the surface, but there is danger in the dark, if you die, you will die, and no one will care, because who would offend a magician hiding in the shadows for the death of an ordinary citizen?
Unless the murderous magician killed more than three people, and the nature was too bad and the impact was too great, the police would not seriously solve the case.
The most important thing is that Xiahou Chun wants to protect Zhan Taoxian from the bottom of his heart, as if she is his little princess, Xiahou Chun will never allow anyone to hurt her, he wants her to live happily every day, wake up and have a hot breakfast, and someone covers her with a quilt when she is sleepy, and let her be a delicate little princess who wears clothes to reach out for food and open her mouth.
And those things that are fighting, killing, and those unhappy things are all handed over to Xiahou Chun to solve.
Xiahou Chun felt that this feeling was very strange, a bit like a father treating his daughter, and a bit like liking and crushing, who knows? Anyway, Xiahou Jun himself can't figure it out.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Chun couldn't help but smile, it seemed that some unknown reason made him a little enthusiastic and energetic.
But now the most important thing is to study this mysterious compass first.
Xiahou Chun carefully observed this compass, only to see that this compass was golden throughout, as if it was made of gold, shining, dazzling and brilliant, if you look at it from the perspective of handicrafts, it is definitely a master's work.
It was the size of a palm, two fingers thick, disc-shaped, and had a small compass in the middle, but the compass seemed to be broken, and it didn't move at all, and it kept pointing upwards, which was the position of the north.
At first, Xiahou Chun thought that this compass might not be easy to use, but soon he found that there was a ring of indentations around the periphery of the pointer.
When Xiahou Chun brought the compass to the windowsill, and the compass was illuminated by the moonlight, a small red dot appeared in the circle dentation.
So Xiahou Chun took a closer look, and about half an hour later, Xiahou Chun saw that in the indentation, the small red dot moved about a millimeter clockwise along the indentation.
What does that mean?
Xia Houchun thought about it, if he guessed correctly, this should be something similar to an energy storage device, as long as it is placed in the moonlight, the small red dot will move very slowly.
It's kind of similar to the feeling of solar energy, except that it absorbs moonlight.
So what would happen if the little red dot went around the indentation of the ring, as if the hour hand on a clock had traveled twelve hours?
Xiahou Chun's thinking was divergent, and he guessed that the compass in the middle would move at that time, right?
At this time, Xiahou Chun suddenly found that the axis of the pointer seemed to be able to be pressed down, so he carefully pressed it, and the next moment, a square virtual screen suddenly appeared on the compass, like a 3D screen in a science fiction movie.
On the screen, a pattern the size of a fingernail appears, which looks like an edge of a stone, not completely, as if it were a small part of a painting.
Xiahou Chun suddenly had a flash of inspiration, isn't this very much like a puzzle?
If you look at the idea of the puzzle, then, is it conceivable that when the length of the red dot moves, the more broken patterns appear on the screen, and when the red dot goes in a complete circle, a complete image will appear on the screen, maybe it is the location of the so-called elixir!
Xiahou Chun suddenly realized that this possibility is very high!
So if that's the case, you just need to put the compass outside the window every night to bask in the moonlight, and wait until the red dot has walked around, and then you can know the location of the pill!
I see!
No wonder the people who were killed by the cloaked man before would discover the secret of the compass, eighty percent of the people in the cloak used the compass to bask in the moonlight in the woods at that time, and then those people entered the woods for some reason, and discovered part of the secret of the cloaked man by mistake, so the cloaked people wanted to kill people.
Xiahou Chun suddenly felt that his thoughts were transparent, and he felt that Sherlock Holmes was possessed.
Since this is the case, then you should be careful when basking in the moonlight in the future, because although the cloak man does not know where Xiahou Chun lives, as long as Xiahou Chun wants to bask in the moonlight, he must take it to the place next to the bed, and if the cloak man is patient, he can get a telescope to check it a little bit.
Then you really have to be careful, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves.
Xiahou Chun took an oil-based pen and wrote 1 to 12 on the periphery of the annular indentation of the compass, so that the compass was like a pocket watch, and the numbers on it were all time scales, so that the progress of the small red dot could be seen at a glance, when to go to the position of 12 o'clock, and when to know the location of the pill.
It's just that at the current rate, it will take a long time for the little red dot to be fully progressed.
This is also a double-edged sword, the disadvantage is that it has been in danger for a long time, and you must always be vigilant during this time, even if you kill the cloaked man, you must be vigilant not to leak the news.
The advantage is that there is this time as a buffer and preparation, when the time comes to get the pill, the preparation will be more sufficient, Xiahou Chun will not be naïve to think that the place where the pill is stored can go as much as he wants, it is estimated that it is also a place similar to the ancient tombs on the earth, it must be full of dangers, traps everywhere, if he goes with his current strength, it is definitely looking for death.
About the secret of the compass and the elixir, Xiahou Chun has basically understood, and the rest is to kill the cloak man, then keep the secret of the compass, and then increase his strength, and finally bravely enter the dangerous place and seize the elixir!
Xiahou Chun looked at his watch, it was already twelve o'clock in the morning, so he hid the compass, put the holy fighting clothes next to the bed, and went to bed.
