The Gu King's movements stopped inexplicably, and the Gu King behind him seemed to sense it and stopped crawling.

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, picked up the fragment, looked carefully at the intricate patterns on it, and asked hesitantly, "Why did they stop...... Is it because of this fragment? ”

As he spoke, he bent down and shook the fragments at the Gu worm in front of him, and the Gu worm actually slowly retreated backwards. He reached forward again, and the three Gu worms turned their heads and ran away quickly.

"It's really the reason for this shard, they're afraid of this shard." Xiao Yi put away the fragments and said, "Forget it, let's go back to the palace first." We'll look into it when we get back. ”

Mu Yunge nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go back first." ”

For several days after that, Xiao Yi sat in the study in a daze at the box that was dug up. The lock on top really can't find any way to unlock it.

Qing Ming knocked on the door of the study, leaned on Mu Yunge's meaning, put a plate of pastries on the table, and asked, "Still can't untie it?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yi frowned and looked at the strange-shaped lock, looking like he didn't have the heart to talk to Qing Ming.

Seeing Xiao Yi's sad face, Qing Ming leaned over to look at the lock and said, "This lock...... If you can trust me, I can help you. ”

He had seen this way of unlocking the lock, but he didn't know if Xiao Yi would believe him.

After all, the things he had done, if it were him, he would not let down his guard against such a person.

Xiao Yi looked at his eyes, smiled and pushed the box at an angle, and said, "You can try it, just so I can eat something and take a break." ”

Qing Ming was a little surprised, took a closer look at the lock, and pulled out a bronze bar from the side of the lock.

"There's something here that can be pulled out?"

Xiao Yi's eyes widened, you must know that he has stared at this lock up and down many times, and he didn't expect that there was a bronze bar hidden here that could be pulled out.

"Of course." Qing Ming smiled softly and said, "What happened next, you may be even more unexpected. ”

As he spoke, he didn't know what mechanism he had touched, and the strange-shaped lock suddenly changed, and in the blink of an eye, it changed into the appearance of a crane.

Xiao Yi watched the lock suddenly change and looked at Qing Ming: "And then?" ”

Such a lock can be unlocked?

Qing Ming laughed again, and after carefully observing the hole, he inserted the bronze strip he pulled out into the slightly open mouth of the immortal crane: "In this way, it can be untied." ”

After the bronze bar was fully inserted, the lock changed again, the crane's wings were retracted, and the box was opened.

Xiao Yi sat up straight, looking at Qing Ming's eyes full of admiration.

"Okay, you can study it slowly, I'll go." As he spoke, Qing Ming patted him on the head and turned around to leave. Mu Yunge was still waiting for him, he couldn't delay here for too long.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yi grabbed his hand and pointed to the characters on the box: "Brother Qingming, do you know these?" ”

Qing Ming took a closer look and said with a smile, "Why do you think I will meet?" I'm just going to unlock and not the words. But...... I know who might recognize. ”

Xiao Yi's eyes lit up and asked, "Who?" ”

"It's your Tuoba brother, he is very interested in ancient writing, and he knows a lot, so he probably recognizes these characters." Qing Ming said and waved his hand at him: "Miss Mu is still waiting for me, I'll go first." ”

Watching Qing Ming slowly walk away, Xiao Yi smiled and lowered his head to open the box. And the contents of the box were beyond Xiaoyi's expectations, and it was actually a gonghou.

"Why Konghou?" Xiao Yi frowned, remembering the bamboo slips he dug up together. But the characters on the bamboo slips are also those characters that are incomprehensible, and they are completely incomprehensible.

At this moment, Tuoba Lian walked in and asked, "Xiaoyi, Qing Ming said you were looking for me?" ”

Xiao Yi blinked, and quickly understood that it was Qing Ming who specially found Tuoba Lian to help him: "Yes, Brother Tuoba look, do you recognize these words?" ”

Tuoba Lian dragged a chair over, looked at the words, and said, "I've seen it, but I don't recognize it." ”

Sensing Xiao Yi's momentary helplessness, Tuoba Lian smiled and said, "Don't be disappointed so soon, I have relevant books, and we can translate these words slowly." ”

The reason why he didn't study the characters in depth at the time was simply because the characters were too complex to learn.

I didn't expect that the box that Xiaoyi dug out would have such difficult words engraved on it.

"Okay then." Xiao Yi laughed, took the Konghou next to him and looked at it, and said, "Then I'll find someone to teach me how to use the Konghou first." ”

When he said this, Tuoba Lian also noticed the existence of Konghou, was slightly stunned, and said: "I know someone who is good at Konghou, I can summon her into the palace for you." ”

"Thank you."

Xiao Yi pursed his lips, stroked Konghou and said, "I didn't expect that my predecessor actually asked me to defeat that person's lyre by relying on Konghou." ”

But the key is that he has never been in contact with the people of the Konghou at all, how can he learn to play the Konghou in a short time?

"Don't worry." Tuoba Lian looked at Konghou and comforted: "Since that senior gave you Konghou, you will definitely have the talent to learn Konghou." ”

Xiao Yi leaned back, hooked the strings with his fingertips, and tried to play a melody.

Listening to what he popped up, he looked at Tuoba Lian with some despair, and said, "Brother Tuoba Brother, do you still think I will have talent?" ”

From an early age, he knew that he had no talent for playing musical instruments. The Poison Saint taught him to play the lyre for several years, and he still played the most basic melodies beyond recognition.

Otherwise, if he had practiced Gu art until now, he would have used the lyre a long time ago.

Tuoba Lian smiled, thought about it and still didn't say the words that had already reached his lips: "Don't be in a hurry, you will learn if you take your time." This text is not easy to learn, so I will accompany you to face difficulties. ”

Zhang Ying heard that Tuoba Lian also came over in the study, and smiled when she saw this scene: "Xiaoyi, I'll teach you." ”

Xiao Yi nodded, and then saw a very thin book under the box.

opened it and looked at it, and the things on it could be regarded as something that Xiaoyi could understand. It's not a text, it's a series of pictures, and it seems that it should be a technique of playing the gonghou.

Zhang Ying took a look at it and said, "The drawing on it is very detailed, otherwise you can try it yourself first, if you can't learn it, come to me at any time." ”

Xiao Yi nodded, burying his head and continuing to study.

"Eh, don't look at it." Zhang Ying raised his head half-forcibly and said, "Don't look at what time it is, it's time to go eat something." ”
