The trip to Kerry Manor not only allowed us to obtain the "Hundred Dragons of the King of Qin", but also made a friend of Earl Gary, although several people were slightly injured, but basically fine, it should be said that the operation was successful.

I have some doubts about the "it" in Beichen's mouth, but I can't care about it at the moment, and the top priority is to unravel the secret in the "Qin King Hundred Dragon Bell" first.

When everyone returned to the ancestral home of the Zhang family, Xiaofan's poisonous injuries were almost healed, and they were coming to the door to greet us.

Xiao Fan saw that my left hand was injured and complained about why I was so careful, but I pretended to be a trivial matter and promised to pay attention in the future. Let's let the glasses help Chiyoko go back to the room first, and everyone had a brief chat again, and each went back to the house to rest.

I chatted with Xiao Fan in the room for a while, and saw Xiao Tian squatting on the table drinking milk. When he saw me coming back, he put down the bottle and threw himself into my arms, licking me with his tongue, making my face smell milky, and making Xiao Fan laugh.

The next day, I was fighting with the sleeping insects in my bed, and there was a knock from Xiaofan at the door, asking me if I was awake and bringing me breakfast. I told him to wait, get dressed and wash up, and open the door to let her in. Breakfast is Xiaofan's handmade buns, plus fresh milk, I am feasting, enjoying the world of two, glasses, which are not long-eyed, will be used as light bulbs.

"Well, early in the morning, how are you doing this?" The kid was outside, leaning against the door and laughing.

Xiao Fan embarrassed her and ran out with a red face. "Damn, you're a dead glass, you're really good at picking up time." I gave him a blank look.

"Haha, alright. Let's eat, I probably know how to crack the mechanism in this clock, and I'll ask everyone to study it again later. He smiled at me.

I took a few more bites of the bun, "yes, what are you waiting for, I'm going to call everyone now." I walked out of the room first.

Ten minutes later, Zhang's Chamber. Everyone looked at the "Qin King Hundred Dragon Bell" in the middle, just like when I first saw it, and they were amazed. "Glasses, you said you know how to unlock this mechanism, tell me about it." I urged.

"I checked the information all night, and finally found some clues in a wild history called "Xilin Miscellaneous". It is recorded that the king of Qin has a hundred dragon bells, eight sounds gather together, the king of Qin plays fairy music, and the dragon dances and the phoenix flies. Glasses said to us.

"Glasses, the eight tones here don't refer to the eight tones of the Warring States period, right?" Xiao Fan asked.

"My inference should be, I tried it last night, although this bell is gold, it can make a silk leather sound when struck, and the key to unlocking the mechanism should be related to the order and number of strikes." Glasses speculated.

We looked at each other, the Warring States Eight Sounds had long been lost, and there were almost no people who understood it, let alone those who were proficient in it. The so-called Warring States Eight Sounds refers to the method of dividing musical instruments into eight categories according to the different production materials in the Zhou Dynasty, which is also the earliest classification of musical instruments in the history of Chinese music.

"It's a bit tricky." I looked at everyone with some embarrassment, and everyone couldn't understand it for a while.

"There are still some inscriptions on this pedestal, can you decipher them?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Yes, but the result is very strange, it is some irregular numbers." The glasses tapped the keyboard a few times, turning the computer screen towards us. I saw that there were eight numbers displayed on it, which were one, three, four, two, three, six, six, seventy-one, five-four, and eight-seven.

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up, and I asked her if she had any ideas. "I have an idea, but I need to be sure of one thing first. Glasses, what is the order of the eight sounds? Xiao Fan asked.

"The eight tones of the Warring States period should be gold, stone, earth, leather, silk, wood, kuang, and bamboo in order." The glasses looked at the computer and replied.

"Brother Long, I think that the combination of these eight numbers in pairs should mean something like this: the former one represents the type of eight sounds, and the latter represents the number of pronunciations. For example, if Kim is the first sound, it should be pronounced three times. Stone is the second tone, pronounced five times, and so on. Xiao Fan said excitedly.

After listening to Xiao Fan's explanation, everyone couldn't help but nod yes. "It makes sense, Xiaofan, you are really a genius, why didn't we expect it." I said in a moment's oblivion.

"Ahem, ahem, have you praised your daughter-in-law like this, you stinky boy." Lao Jiang scolded with a smile, making me and Xiaofan blush for a while.

"Uncle Jiang......" Xiao Fan lowered his head and said lightly.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it. But now there is another question, who of you understands these eight tones? Don't get the order wrong. Lao Jiang said.

I didn't expect that just after solving a problem, a new problem appeared. Chiyoko cautiously raised her hand like a schoolboy and whispered, "That, I can understand the eight tones." ”

"Can you understand the eight sounds?" We couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Our family keeps an ancient eight-syllable diagram, as well as a complete set of musical instruments from the Warring States period, which I have listened to since I was a child." Chiyoko explained softly.

After listening to Chiyoko's words, my heart felt a little turbulent. The Chinese civilization has a long history, but how many of it has really inherited and carried forward. It is ironic that many good things that originally originated with us have now been lost, but have been preserved and circulated in other countries.

But now is not the time to sigh, I asked, "Glasses, you tried it all night yesterday, you should know how to make this thing make a sound, right?" ”

"Well, I've tried all of my one hundred and eight dragons, six of which are big dragons, two small dragons can make a sound, and the others can't make a sound, and I've made a mark." The glasses replied.

"Okay, it's up to the two of you this time." I patted my glasses on the shoulder.

According to the mark, the glasses knocked the eight dragons that could make sounds again, and Chiyoko identified the eight sounds according to the different sounds, and according to Xiaofan's inference, they were tapped in order. With each completed one, you can hear the sound of the trap activating, and it seems that we have found the right way. When all the eight tones were completed, a miracle happened.

One hundred and eight dragons seemed to be alive, circling and circling in the body of the bell, and the Xuanniao at the top actually flew away from the bell, circled the house for three weeks and landed on the top of the bell. Only a "click" was heard, and the bird's body split in half, revealing what was inside.

I carefully took out the contents of Xuanniao's body, and it turned out to be two yellowed silk paintings. One is painted with what looks like a small island above the sea, and at the bottom of the island is a Taiji Yin fish. The other depicts a huge palace with a Tai Chi Yang fish painted at the bottom of the palace. At the same time, both silk paintings are depicted with the entrance and route to reach the Taiyin Yin and Yang fish.

I thought to myself, this is good, two places appear at once. "Yes, two pictures, let's take a look, what's the idea." I laid the two silk paintings flat on the table, and everyone began to study them carefully.

"Alas, Mitsui, you look at this island a little familiar." I looked at the silk painting and said.

"Evil Isle." Beichen glanced at the silk painting.

"The great god is powerful. Just now I swept two pictures into the computer, and one of the matching results was, Evil Ghost Island. "Strange how this other one didn't come to fruition." ”

"Brother Long, there is a line of words underneath, it may have been too long, and the handwriting is a little unclear." Xiao Fan reminded, I looked at the bottom of the silk painting, there were indeed a few words, I tried to recognize, "These words, uh, should be...... Medicine Girl, followed by ...... Martyrdom ......, and I can't see clearly in the middle. Behind it is Qin ...... Anger...... Room out. ”

I felt like there was a line in front of me guiding me, but I couldn't grasp it. "Is it there? That's impossible! "My heart shook.

When everyone saw me like this, they were busy thinking of something. I said with some excitement: "I have a guess, I don't know what the first few words are for a while." The last few words should be: King Qin is angry, Ah Fang is out. This is Afang Palace, the palace that Qin Shi Huang built for his lover! ”

"What! This is impossible, according to historical records, this most glorious palace in history was burned down by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and the fire burned for three months, and the ruins were in Xianyang, Shaanxi. There was an incredible look in the glasses and in everyone's eyes.

"There's a way to prove it. Glasses, do you have a restoration map of Afang Palace, compare the picture with the silk painting, and see the result. I suppressed the excitement in my heart and suggested.

"I have this picture, wait." The glasses were obviously the same as mine, and the hands were shaking a little as they were tapping on the keyboard.

"This, this, this, see for yourselves." Glasses stammered as he pointed to the computer screen.

We all looked at the screen, and the computer analysis showed that the two pictures were exactly the same, and the silk painting was the most glorious palace in the history of the legend: Afang Palace.

The puzzle was solved, and such an amazing clue was obtained, and while we sighed at the wisdom of the ancients, we also wanted to find out. "However, this Afang Palace is now in ruins, can there still be clues?" Glasses asked.

I muttered, "Well, let's go over there and take a closer look." Now there are two locations, there should be two clues, let's discuss, what to do next? ”

We deliberated for a while and finally decided on the itinerary. The secret of the evil ghost island should be in the sealed place of the Evil Cause, and now that the Evil Cause has been solved, the relative mission will be less dangerous, so Mitsui will take the glasses and Chiyoko to go there.

Beichen and Xiaofan and I went to explore this legendary palace. "We left in three days and we kept in touch. Return as soon as you get your things. I instructed.

Just as we were about to go to each other's preparations, Beichen suddenly said, "Wait. We all looked at him suspiciously. He didn't talk much when we were discussing just now, I thought it was his usual style, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but it seems that he found something this time.

Beichen picked up the silk painting again, looked at the sunlight carefully, turned his head and said coldly: "Xiaolong, this palace is underground." ”
