"Oh? Compass? That's why you know the existence of the Du family? After grabbing the compass handed over by Chen Ziyang in her hand, Mrs. Du found that there was no external disk in this real estate at all.

And the poem left by the Du family and the Du character engraved on the compass should be engraved on the outer disk. Obviously, Chen Ziyang should have obtained the information of the Du family from somewhere else.

"Yes and no, I have another compass." After saying that, Chen Ziyang took out the compass of the Du family that he found in the Yin Land of Inner Mongolia, and this compass was relatively well preserved.

Seeing that two compasses of the Du family appeared in front of her at the same time, and they were both taken out by one person, Mrs. Du was a little stunned.

"The compass of the Du family...... You actually took out two pieces at once. This is really interesting, no one can tell about fate. There are only twenty-four of these compasses of the Du family, each of which is extremely precious, except for a few pieces that were lost outside due to war and accidents, the other compasses are in my hands, you can find two at a time, it's so interesting. ”

Seeing that Chen Ziyang was unmoved by his words, Mrs. Du knew that he had put his mind on the clues that the compass could bring. So she stopped talking nonsense, picked up the compass that Chen Ziyang took out and didn't have an outer disk, and looked at it carefully.

"This is Du Thirteen's compass. Where did you find it? What can I hope I can give you? ”

Originally, Chen Ziyang still had some concerns and didn't want to explain the matter, after all, Chen Benzhong was involved in it, but when he thought that Mrs. Du had no reservations about himself, he changed his mind and told the whole thing as it was.

"You just said that this compass belongs to Du Thirteen, so do you know why he walked with the Japanese? Why did he die in the depths of the Qinling Mountains? ”

Old Madam Du shook her head. "That's right, although the Du family's compass looks exactly the same from the outside, but in fact, each compass has a tiny gap. Among the twenty-four compasses of the Du family, none of them have the same position, so from this gap, you can know who the owner of the compass is.

And there is also a row of names about the Du family, connecting the serial numbers of the twenty-four compasses with the Du character, which is the name of these backbones who use the compass in the Du family. For example, the compass number he used is No. 13, and the person who uses the No. 1 compass is called Du Boss.

If any of the twenty-four people were dead or sealed, the compass would go down. For example, if Du Shiyi passed on the compass, then this person would be called Old Eleven, and the new person who got the compass would be called Du Shiyi.

It is precisely because of this unique recording method that the whereabouts of every Du family member who uses the compass are under our control. However, there are occasional exceptions. Du 13 is an exception. ”

Hearing that it was very likely that Old Lady Du did not know the clues of this person called Du Shisan, Chen Ziyang became nervous, if he couldn't even find the clues here, it would be even more difficult to find the iron book.

"This Du Thirteen is the first generation of Du Thirteen, and the code name Thirteen has only been passed down for one generation in the Du family, because the person who got the thirteenth compass for the first time disappeared mysteriously.

At that time, it was the period of the Anti-Japanese War, and Du Shisan, who had just obtained the compass, was very happy, and led a few people to go out to find the ancient tomb, but he never came back.

About a year or two later, just when everyone else thought that Du 13 and his person were dead, someone contacted us with the unique contact information of our Du family, saying that Du 13 asked him to come, because this kind of contact information was not known to outsiders at all, so we believed that person.

At that time, the man said that Du 13 was held hostage by a Japanese organization called Golden Lily, and had to be forced to rob the tomb for them, hoping that the Du family could save him. But there is no clue in the vast sea of people, how can we save it? Besides, no matter how strong the Du family is, it is only a small local force, how can they fight the Japanese.

So this matter was put down, but it let us know the traces of Du Shisan, who should have been under the control of the Japanese organization of the Golden Lily.

Although I was relatively young at that time, the whereabouts of every Du family member would be recorded, and the information of these missing Du family members was extremely precious, so I have been imprinting this information in my mind since I became an adult. Since that incident, we have never gotten any clues from Du Thirteen. ”

"Golden Lily? What kind of organization is this Golden Lily, have you investigated? Seeing that there was finally a clue from the owner of the compass, Chen Ziyang was happy, but this clue was too small, and it didn't seem to be of any decisive help for the time being.

"At that time, we did send someone to investigate, but no matter how we investigated, we never got any clues about this Golden Lily organization. According to our speculation, this organization should indeed be set up by the Japanese, and the level of secrecy is very high.

The Japanese have always liked all kinds of flowers, and they like to name their organization after flowers, or as a symbol, for example, the cherry blossom symbol can only be used by the Japanese imperial family, and this organization is called the Golden Lily, and the people who want to set up this organization should be authentic Japanese.

But other than that, we really didn't find anything, except for this name, there was no clue at all, and then this matter was put down, except for adding the name of this organization in the trace column of Du Shisan, the three words Golden Lily were meaningless.

When the Anti-Japanese War ended, Du Shisan never came back, and it is estimated that there was more luck than luck. Later, we didn't continue to track down the Golden Lily, but we accidentally got a clue about the Golden Lily.

Probably because of the passage of time, many top-secret documents from the Second World War era were lifted, and 20 years ago, the face of the Golden Lily organization was revealed. Although the information we found may not be completely correct, it should have some reference.

It is said that the Golden Lily Organization was directly established by the Japanese Imperial Family, and its purpose was to loot antiques and gold and other belongings in the Japanese-occupied areas during World War II, and then continuously ship these goods back to Japan. Some people say that the reason why Japan's economy recovered so quickly after the war is inseparable from the large amount of treasure looted by the Golden Lily.

In the later stages of the war, Japan retreated very quickly, so a lot of the treasures that were plundered by the golden lilies were not transported back to Japan, and many treasures were buried and hidden on the spot.

Japan's ability to retain the emperor system is also inseparable from this Golden Lily Organization. It is said that Japan took out a large amount of gold buried somewhere at once and used it to bribe a superpower, which allowed Japan to retain the emperor system after its defeat.

While none of this information is necessarily accurate, I estimate that it is about the same. The original purpose of the Golden Lily organization was to loot treasures on a large scale, and it is no wonder that they arrested Du Shisan to rob their tombs. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ziyang nodded, it seems that there are indeed not too many clues about the Du family of this Golden Lily Organization, but this is enough, at least it is better than looking for a needle in a haystack.

With the clue of the golden lily, Chen Benzhong should be able to find some clues from it, after all, he worked under the Japanese for a long time, and he was engaged in tomb robbing, and he may have had contact with this organization.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang knew that his main purpose of meeting the Du family this time had been achieved. So he rummaged through his backpack and took out the coffin nail that had been there for a long time.

When he was in the antique market, this coffin nail attracted the compass of the Du family, which made the compass make a series of strange sounds, and it was through this coffin nail that Chen Ziyang discovered the soul control paperweight and picked up a big leak.

But in the final analysis, what happened to the coffin nail that caused the unusual phenomenon in the Du family's compass, Chen Ziyang has never figured it out. Now is the opportunity to ask Mrs. Du for advice.

After telling Mrs. Du about the cause and effect of the incident, Chen Ziyang sent the coffin nails to Mrs. Du. After taking the coffin nail, Mrs. Du also had a solemn face.

"This is really interesting, such an item that can trigger the Du family's compass to indicate the direction itself, since the Du family discovered these compasses, there have only been three encounters. And you came across such an item shortly after you got the Du family's compass, which I have to say is really a miracle. ”

"Auntie, don't be emotional, tell me what's going on. This coffin nail has been in my hand for a long time, but I have not discovered its secret. ”

"I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, although these compasses have always been in the hands of our Du family, but we haven't completely studied the effectiveness of these compasses.

It wasn't long after the Du family pulled it up, and my mother found a chest in an ancient tomb that contained twenty-four compasses. At that time, the Du family had just improved, and my mother thought that these 24 compasses were a gift from God to the Du family, so she kept them. In the future, only those who have her approval and can stand alone will be issued a compass.

Some people say that the compass originated in the Song Dynasty and was mainly used in navigation, which is true, because the compass, the main component of the compass, was invented in the Song Dynasty, but in fact the compass appeared earlier, but not in the form of a magnetic needle.

For example, the compass of the Du family does not have a magnetic needle on it, but is composed of two round magnets stuck together in the upper and lower parts. The top layer of the compass is engraved with an arrow, which is used in conjunction with the lower layer engraved with other things, which means that the upper layer of the compass is actually a deformation of the magnetic needle.

From the outside, the Du family's compasses appear to be made of bronze, but in fact, these compasses are made of an extremely magnetic iron stone.

As you said, the compass automatically rotates and makes a sound, and the Du family has encountered it three times, and through the accumulation of so many years of experience in using the compass, we have found that this compass has a very strange reaction to certain magnetic fields.

The three things that caused the compass to react strangely before were not related, but they had one thing in common, all three things seemed to be forged from meteoric iron outside the sky.

I don't know the origin of your coffin nail, but I can only tell you that either this coffin nail can emit some very special magnetic field, or the coffin nail itself is made of some kind of extraterrestrial meteorite that is extremely magnetic.

Speaking of which, I want to say a few more words, I don't know if you have noticed, there is a small gap in each compass. ”

Seeing Chen Ziyang nodded, Mrs. Du continued: "The position of the compass gap of the Du family is different, and it is precisely by relying on this gap that we can judge which compass this is and who uses it.

The openings of the twenty-four compasses correspond to the directions of the twenty-four mountains, and in addition to making each compass unique, these openings have a very surprising use.

Once an ordinary compass enters a place with an extremely strong magnetic field, the pointer will lose its due role, and the compass will no longer be able to indicate the direction. The Du family's compass is born with a very special magnetic field, which can still be used normally even in magnetite and can indicate the direction.

The key lies in this gap, although the upper layer of the compass is engraved with a pointer, but this pointer can only be used in the usual state, once it encounters a magnetic field, this pointer is like a magnetic needle, affected by the magnetic field, it can not indicate the direction at all, but this gap is different.

Normally, this gap is useless, it looks like a very ordinary break on the compass, but in fact, when the compass is in the magnetic field and cannot be used normally, the effect of this gap is activated.

You remember my words, when the Du family's compass is not working properly, this gap either points to the source of the magnetism, or it always points in the direction of due south. ”

Mrs. Du's words made Chen Ziyang's eyes light up, according to this view, this Du family's compass is really a treasure.

I have encountered several times when the compass cannot be used, and fortunately, I have been able to turn evil into good fortune several times, if I had known the use of the Du family's compass, maybe I would not have suffered so many losses before.

"Huh? Auntie, what do you mean by saying these words to me? Could it be ......" Chen Ziyang at this time suddenly reacted, listening to the meaning of Mrs. Du's words, as if he was going to give himself a compass.

"Yes, the outer disk of Du Thirteen's compass has rotted, and the appearance is really bad, but this compass is relatively well preserved, you can use it, the compass is better in your hands than in my box and dust."
