Chapter 16: The Key on the Statue

The young man's eyes made Ye Xuan a little alert, but he didn't care too much, after all, after going out, he planned to leave here quickly and rush back to the Songzhu Courtyard.

As long as he moves faster and is more hidden, the other party will generally not have a chance to trouble him.

Thinking of this, Ye Li also quickened his pace, wanting to get out of the auction hall quickly.

However, he did not notice that the guard who had been following the young man had disappeared before the auction ended.

After quickly coming out of the auction house, Ye Li walked back towards the Songzhu Courtyard along the road he had come from in the morning.

He planned to stay another night and leave Jujin City early tomorrow morning.

In order to avoid possible trouble, Ye Li's steps were very fast, but his movements were very low-key, but in a few breaths, he quietly disappeared around the corner of the street.

Soon returned to the Songzhu Courtyard, the young man before did not chase him out, which made Ye Li a lot easier, otherwise whether there would be a quarrel or a fight in the future, it would make him feel troublesome.

After entering his room, Ye Li hurriedly sat down at the table and took out the Flame Gathering Talisman and the Xuanwu Heavenly Machine Box in his Qiankun bag.

The first thing he looked at was the Flame Gathering Talisman, and after opening the drawings for rubbing, a complete and detailed spell appeared in front of him.

After some observation, he found that this charm was indeed somewhat similar to the previous Extreme Flame Finger, and the two seemed to have the same characteristics except for the difference in the rune characters and the structure of the charm.

Ye Li stretched out his hand to test it while looking at it, after all, it was just a three-character rune, with his current level of drawing talismans, after writing down the rules of the runes, he tried it and immediately drew it.

As the spell in his hand took shape, an extremely dense fire aura instantly gathered beside his hand.

The amount of aura in this fire completely exceeded Ye Li's estimate.

After all, it was just a three-character one-character rune, and Ye Li didn't expect that the fire aura it gathered had even surpassed some nine-character one-character runes.

Moreover, this aura is still not transformed into a pure fire aura of flames, which means that the difficulty of fusing it with other spells will be very low, and it will be much easier than the formed spells.

Moreover, this talisman is only at the yellow level now, and when it is promoted to the ground level, it must be that the gathered fire aura will be even larger, and then Ye Liruo will gradually increase the number of runes in it, this talisman will definitely be a huge help to him.

Glancing at the fire spirit qi mass in front of him with great satisfaction, Ye Li then dispersed them.

He had already learned the charms, and all he had to do after that was to raise the level of the charms first, and then increase the cumulative number of runes.

After putting the drawings into his Qiankun bag, Ye Li shifted his attention to the Xuanwu Heavenly Machine Box in front of him.

I gently picked up the statue and touched it, but I didn't know what material it was made of, and it was very smooth and warm in my hand.

The taupe material is not gold or stone to the touch, but the texture is unusually hard and slightly heavy.

"Senior Swallowing Sun, how should this Xuanwu Heavenly Machine Box be opened?"

After observing the statue for a long time, Ye Li really didn't see that this was a box, there were no broken gaps on the surface of the entire statue, it was completely a whole.

As a last resort, he could only ask about Swallow Rilai.

"The method of opening the box is actually not complicated, once it is broken, it is actually very simple.

You go find a bucket and fill it with clean water, the level of water is not too high, just enough to drown the shell on the back of the statue. ”

Hearing Swallowing Sun's order, although Ye Li didn't know why, he immediately went to find a wooden barrel, and then filled it with half a bucket of water.

"Ye Li, you put the statue in and make sure that the clear water can just flood the shell on the back of the statue. ”

Swallow Sun continued to command.

After Ye Li nodded, he put the statue into the bucket, and found that there was a little more water, so he hurriedly poured some water out, so that the water line just overflowed the shell on the back of the statue.

Seeing that Ye Li had already disposed of the statue, Swallowing Sun said, "Ye Li, you now carefully observe what changes have occurred in this statue that has been soaked in water. ”

Hearing Swallowing Sun's words, Ye Li looked curiously at the statue in the barrel.

However, after looking at it for a long time, I didn't find any changes.

"Senior Swallowing Sun, I don't seem to see any changes in this statue. ”

Ye Li said with some doubts.

"You move your head directly above the statue, look straight down from above, look through the water, look a little deeper, and then try again." ”

After hearing this, Ye Li immediately did so, he put his head directly above the statue, and then looked down, and immediately found some clues.

As his gaze penetrates deeper into the water, the part of the statue that is submerged in the water is refracted by it.

The uneven part of the statue was slightly distorted and displaced in Ye Li's eyes.

The deeper the water, the more distorted it became, and finally blended and overlapped with the part that came out of the water, and finally turned into a rune pattern.

"Ye Li, with the statue turtle head as the starting point and the snake tail as the end point, you will record the entire rune. ”

Swallowing Sun commanded Ye Li, who was a little sluggish, again.

Ye Li recovered from his surprise and said, "It turns out that the secret of this Xuanwu Heavenly Machine Box is really so simple!"

However, this design is really ingenious, and it actually relies on the refraction of the water surface to hide the entire rune.

If you don't know how high you need to put the statue in the water, or how high you need to be in the water, you won't be able to see this rune.

If the water level is a little higher or lower, the images will not coincide, and the runes will not appear. ”

Ye Li sighed as he memorized the runes from beginning to end.

Almost half a burnt of incense, he had memorized the runes in his mind.

"You can now take the Xuanwu Heavenly Machine Box out of the barrel, the rune just now is the key to this box, you just need to draw it, you can open this box. ”

Swallow Sun said.

Ye Li nodded, and took the statue out of the bucket.

As soon as the statue came out of the water, the originally wet surface dried up in an instant.

It's not that the water is absorbed or dried up, it's that all the droplets roll off the surface of the statue and flow back into the barrel, and the statue doesn't even get a drop of water.

Ye Li put the statue on the table, his heart was full of excitement and curiosity, he wanted to know what kind of things were hidden in this Xuanwu Heavenly Machine Box.
