Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 562 It’s just a music box
  Gu Xun naturally knew that it would be embarrassing to be caught stealing, but he was sure that he would not be caught. The six-fingered black man could not pinch his collar and accuse him of stealing. At most, everyone knew it, but who Don't even talk about the broken situation.

But of course he would choose to go to great lengths to steal the Phantom Sound Box not because of the minor consequences, but...

"Because it's interesting."

"Ah?" Gu Xun's answer made Yan Lingji a little surprised. She frowned, showing a look of suspicion and disgust, "Hey... you don't have any hobby of stealing, do you?"

"???"

Gu Xun couldn't help but his head was covered with black lines, he pulled his face down and replied angrily, "What's wrong with you!"

"I mean, it's very interesting that the Phantom Sound Box fell into my hands silently. As a secret treasure that is valued by two hostile forces, the Mo family and the Yin Yang family, one is trying his best to protect and the other is trying to pursue it. They fight for it, but in the end they realize that the thing is gone."

“It will definitely be a good experience for them.”

"Really? Haha..." Yan Lingji chuckled a few times and couldn't help but mocked, "I think the thoughts in your mind are not much more normal than mine."

Gu Xun rolled his eyes and was indifferent to this.

Yan Lingji saw that he no longer bothered with the issue of stealing things, and then asked, "The problem is that the Mo family lost something. According to you, it is an important thing. How could you not know about it all the time?"

Gu Xun explained, "Mo's disciples are prohibited from entering the forbidden area of ​​the Mo family. Even the six-fingered black man, who is a giant, would not run into it. As long as I don't make any noise, he probably won't go out of his way for a long time." Go in and check the Phantom Sound Box."

"Okay!" Yan Lingji dryly accepted Gu Xun's statement, and then placed the Phantom Sound Treasure Box on the table again, muttering to herself, "Phantom Sound Treasure Box? That's its name, right? Come to think of it, there are still words on it..."

As a wanted criminal in the Chu State, the Chinese characters that Yan Lingji was most familiar with were the Chu State characters.

"Twelve phantom rhythms, five tunes of non-music, heavenly rhythm of bliss, thousands of magical sounds!"

After reading this sentence word by word, Yan Lingji commented a little, "Well... the name of the box fits this line of words very well."

"So what's the use of this thing?"

Gu Xun reached over and pressed the bright yellow button in the center of the box. The Magic Sound Treasure Box immediately opened automatically, and the subtle sound of the gears operating was heard. Under the rapid movement of the gear sets at the base, a golden five-story building appeared. The small tower rises slowly, accompanied by the sound of music.

At the same time, in the room that originally had only candlelight flickering, small but bright starlight suddenly lit up. A star map appeared out of thin air on the roof, floating and twinkling, and every star was clearly visible.

"Ouch!" Yan Lingji couldn't help being startled. She looked at the star map curiously, then looked at the phantom sound treasure box that played music in a loop, and said suspiciously, "This thing... is a sophisticated mechanism of the Mo family after all. Is it a creation, or a strange creature from the Yin-Yang family?"

"Obviously, from the appearance, it should be a two-in-one product, but it's just my guess. I'm not sure who made this thing specifically." Gu Xun sat on the stool, spread his hands and replied, "The mechanism of the Mo family Theoretically, magic cannot create such an exquisite thing. Although the Yin Yang family's magic is mysterious, it should not have the ability to create such a thing that can reveal the star map anytime and anywhere."

Gu Xun felt suspicious about the first half of the sentence, but it seemed to be such a setting in his impression. But the problem was that he felt that compared to black technology products such as the Mechanical Suzaku or the Mechanical Xuanwu, a mere music box should not be a problem for the Mo family.

As for the second half of the sentence, it is his own assertion that the objects used for stargazing in the Yin Yang family are not smaller than the size of a house, and the possibility of deliberately hiding them is not high.

"Then this thing is just for... enjoying music and appreciating the stars?" Yan Lingji asked again.

"Of course not, this is an important part of unlocking Canglong Qisu." Gu Xun denied. Yan Lingji also remembered what Gu Xun and Xunzi had said before, and suddenly said, "So this thing is also one of the specific utensils needed!"

"almost."

"How to use it?"

"Ha!" Gu Xun smiled contemptuously and replied calmly, "I don't know."

"..." Yan Lingji was speechless, I don't know why you are laughing!
  Gu Xun looked up at the star map, then looked down at the Phantom Sound Box, and said in a helpless tone, "I understand the rhythm, and I also understand stargazing, but when these two are put together, I don't quite understand. "

"This star map... should be a reflection of the stars in the sky now. I can interpret a lot of things, but it is difficult for these contents to be reasonably nested with the five-note twelve rhythm."

"Okay, okay, stop talking." Gu Xun didn't understand, and Yan Lingji naturally didn't understand even more. She waved her hand and didn't bother to listen to Gu Xun's explanation. She stretched out her hand to fiddle with the phantom sound treasure box, "So this thing can be used in a short time. It’s just a recreational gadget, and it can only be played in private.”

"Uh...that's right." Gu Xun grinned and finally agreed with this statement.

At this time, Yan Lingji's fingers unconsciously touched one of the layers of the Phantom Sound Box, and the melody floating from the tower suddenly changed to another tune.

"Hey! It turns out it can be changed!" Yan Lingji smiled in surprise when she heard the song changed.

Gu Xun pointed at the five-story golden pagoda and introduced, "This pagoda is divided into five floors, corresponding to the five tones. The twelve window eaves on the first floor correspond to the twelve rhythms. Every time any window eaves on any floor is moved, the music changes. It will change accordingly. In theory, there is..."

Gu Xun did a quick calculation in his mind... He didn't figure it out, so he just counted it on the table and figured it out, "Two hundred and forty-eight thousand, eight hundred and thirty-two changes."

"So many!" Upon hearing such a large number, Yan Lingji sighed involuntarily at first, and then suddenly asked, "Shopkeeper, did you calculate correctly?"

As an ancient illiterate, she really couldn't understand how there could be so many changes. Isn't it just such a small and exquisite five-story pagoda?

"..." Such a simple multiplication was questioned by others, which made Gu Xun's mouth twitch. Finally, considering the illiterate aura of the other party, he didn't care about anything, "It can't be wrong. There are twelve changes in each layer, five layers in total. , which is two hundred and forty-eight thousand, eight hundred and thirty-two."

"Well... I believe you once." Yan Lingji nodded reluctantly, accepted the number, and then happily took the Phantom Sound Box into her hands, "Then this thing will belong to me from now on."

"This is much more interesting than what you said...the sixth-level Rubik's Cube."

For Yan Lingji, who can't even play with the third level, the sixth level Rubik's Cube is really too difficult for her. She is dizzy every time she turns her eyes. It's no fun at all. She can just twist it like the Magic Sound Box. Listening to music is more fun.

　Uh... I'll just update one chapter tonight. I'll try to make up the remaining chapter during the day, so I won't default on it.

　　Fortunately, it's over tonight and things will be back to normal tomorrow.

　　It feels like the thumbs of both my hands are about to clinch.
