Chapter 117: Unlocking the Compass
The four of them were on guard for a few seconds, and the 'da-da' sound continued, but nothing happened.
Several people followed the sound and locked their eyes on Chen Xiaodonkey's backpack, and Monk Xiao wondered: "The surname Chen is what you have in your bag!" ”
Chen Xiaolu was also puzzled, opened the bag and turned out the sound source, this 'da-da' sound actually came from the compass.
How so? Chen Xiaodonkey was even more surprised in his heart, he had grown so big, and he had never encountered a situation where the compass Tianxin needle would ring.
From the time they descended to the obstacle level, the compass seemed to be out of order, and the Tianxin hand had been rotating aimlessly and rapidly in circles, but there was no sound at the time, and now, the Tianxin needle had become the same as the second hand of the clock, the degree had slowed down a lot, and the rotation had become a regular card, as if it was detecting something.
"Huh? You compass! Monk Xiao was sharp-eyed, he had seen the strangely shaped compass of Chen Xiaodonkey in Xiaofoling before, but he didn't think much about it, and now he saw it again, and suddenly it was matched with the compass in Chen's father's hand in the mirror just now.
Chen Xiaodonkey was reminded like this, and immediately thought of a small detail in the past that he had almost ignored just now, the compass in his father's hand on the mirror seemed to be this one, but at that time, his father didn't know how to get it, and all the sides of the compass were scattered and became a three-dimensional appearance.
Could it be that the three-dimensional compass can be used normally in this strange dungeon that defies common sense? He got to the point of the problem at once!
However, it is a little embarrassing that Chen Xiaodonkey didn't know that his compass also had the function of dispersing the disk, and he hadn't heard his father mention it when he was a child, so he didn't understand how to fiddle with it at all.
He ignored Monk Xiao's surprise, carefully recalled the details just now, and vaguely remembered for a long time that his father's fingers seemed to be turning a certain mechanism on the back of the compass!
Thinking of this, I immediately turned the compass over, but the back of the disc was smooth, and there was no point to rotate at all.
It's embarrassing again!
Cao Hou noticed Chen Xiaodonkey's movements and said strangely: "Little donkey, what are you looking for?" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey: "......"
Find a deflated calf!
Just when he was stunned, Cao Hou touched his other hand, quickly swept it on the plate, and muttered, "Huh? Why do you still have a lock on this compass? ”
"Locks?" Chen Xiaodonkey couldn't care less about pretending, and asked, "Which eye did you see that there was a lock?" ”
"I can't say it's a lock, there's a mechanism here." Cao Hou nodded, and was stunned again, "This is your thing, don't you know?" ”
I know a hammer! Chen Xiaodonkey scolded in his heart, and said quietly: "Whether it's a lock or a mechanism, let's be clear." ”
"I'm grass! You really don't know!? Cao Hou was stunned, he hadn't paid attention to the strange compass of the little donkey before, but now he took a serious look at it and touched it again.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Chen Xiaodonkey's face turned dark, and he said in his heart, why didn't Zhao Nansong directly kill this thing at that time?
Cao Hou sneered and explained: "It's a mechanism or a lock, it's all the same, the keyhole is the disc surface that can be rotated, as long as these disks are turned to a fixed position, the mechanism inside will be activated." ”
Is it that simple? Chen Xiaodonkey stared at the extremely complicated plate, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, if the monkey didn't talk nonsense, then there was a big question - what is the password? He doesn't know!
"Can you open it?" After being silent for two seconds, Chen Xiaodonkey looked at Cao Hou under the gaze of the three of them, Cao Hou was stunned again, and the words were all about this, but the little donkey not only didn't know the mechanism, but he didn't even know what the password was?
Is this compass still not heirloom from his family?
"It's a bit difficult, the main thing is that there are no tools at hand, well, in fact, even if there are tools, this mechanism can't be dismantled, your compass mechanism is very tricky, it's 'fairy sleepy', which means that you don't know the location of the mechanism, and the gods have to be helpless when they come, unless they are violently opened, but the compass will be wasted."
Under the threat of Chen Xiaodonkey's secret poking eyes, Cao Hou explained seriously, "I can't understand your feng shui levels or anything, but if the password is set by Uncle Chen, you can try a combination of directions that is more meaningful to him, maybe you can try it?" ”
This thing has finally become a person! Chen Xiaodonkey told him to shut up and began to try with the sound of the compass.
In fact, the compass plate is very complicated, because when looking for the feng shui level, it is necessary to constantly adjust the disk according to the changes in the situation near and far.
But to say that it is simple and very simple, only a simple interpretation of the plate, you can ignore the Tianchi, that is, the Tianxin needle, then the follow-up plate is only divided into four layers, from the inside to the outside for the gossip of the nine palaces, the vertical direction of the territory of the twenty-four mountains, that is, commonly known as the winding mountain, and then the outside for the shape of the sixty-four hexagrams, the last layer is the precise orientation of the big Zhoutian.
Although the compasses of the four schools of feng shui are different, most of them are made in the winding mountains, so if they are not used to survey feng shui, the compass plate is four sets of fixed numbers, and the north direction of Tianchi is the return position.
However, Chen Xiaodonkey's head quickly grew big, and he tried a lot of disc combinations that he thought were meaningful, but the compass was always as stable as an old dog, and there was no sign of activating the mechanism at all, and the last time he tried his birthday, it was still useless, and he couldn't help but cast his suspicious eyes on Cao Hou.
"Monkey, you didn't fool me, did you?"
Cao Hou called out my grass and scolded: "Fool you are a dog!" You can doubt Lao Tzu's character, but you can't question my work ethic! ”
"Work ethic? Why are you telling me jokes? Chen Xiaodonkey couldn't help but roll his eyes, but guessing the password is really too bad, although his heart is itching, he still decided to give up for the time being, threw the compass back into his bag and let it continue to ring, turned his head to the two of them: "Leave the gun for me, you take the dead monk up first, it's too unsafe here." ”
The topic changed too quickly, Cao Hou didn't react for a while, but Zhang Wat knew what Chen Xiaodonkey wanted to do, in fact, just after seeing Chen's father from the mirror, he was ready to explore this underground palace with Chen Xiaodonkey, but he still admonished first: "Zhibai, the image has survived to this day, and it is unknown after a few years, even if Uncle Chen has been here, he will definitely not be here, and there is no point in you staying here." ”
"At least eleven years ago."
Chen Xiaodonkey shook his head, when Uncle Jia handed over the compass to him in his mother's ward, he said that his father gave him the compass in the first year of Xuantong, and his father recorded on the bronze mirror still carried the compass, indicating that he came here at least eleven years ago. At this point in time, it is still based on the fact that after my father went out from here, he went directly to Shaanxi without any delay, otherwise the slightest delay may have been twelve years ago.
Zhang Wat said: "What happened eleven years ago is even more meaningless. ”
"Not necessarily." Chen Xiaodonkey squinted in denial, but didn't explain too much, Uncle Jia said that they would come here, he saw the message left by his father in Xiaofoling, and was guided to come, if this is not his fabrication, then Chen Xiaodonkey thinks that maybe his father will also leave clues about his whereabouts here?
It's just that this time he can't say anything anymore, and he can't accept being led by the nose all the time about his father's whereabouts, even if that person is really his brother-in-law.
What's more, his brother-in-law is by no means a good type.
This time, without waiting for Zhang Wat to speak, Monk Xiao, who had been shouting to leave, suddenly interjected, and his chest beat with a shocking sound: "I am air with the Buddha?" In this way, surnamed Chen, from now on you are my brother, it is too dangerous down here, let your two best brothers leave first, and then whether it is Longtan or Tiger's Den, it will be up to me, the new brother, to go with you! ”
"Dead monk, don't pull a few calves, who knows what bad ideas you have?" Cao Hou's mind turned around at this time, and he opened his mouth to scold without thinking about it, and said to Chen Xiaodonkey after scolding: "Okay, little donkey, don't talk nonsense, if you want to go, I and useless will definitely not leave you behind, you have to have a beginning and an end This is what you say, if you really want to explore here, then together." ”
Zhang Wat didn't speak again, stood aside, and nodded his head to show his attitude.
