The thing Yu Yi put on the table was shaped like a rolling pin, about an inch thick and about a foot long. It was completely black and had three layers of rings on one end. Each ring was engraved with multiple patterns.

I had doubts in my mind, so I picked up the object casually. It was quite heavy, and there was a slight patina on some areas, which showed that the object was made of bronze.

Looking at the details again, there are three layers of copper rings about one finger wide at one end of the copper rod. The so-called three layers are not three layers inside and outside, but three layers up and down. The layer of copper rings at the end of the copper rod only has a yin and yang pattern, and the second layer of copper has a yin and yang pattern.

There is a five-element pattern on the ring, and a Bagua pattern on the third layer of copper ring. There is a thumb-sized round protrusion at the top of the third layer of copper ring, near the middle area of ​​the copper rod.

Looking at the other end of the copper rod, there is a slight depression inside. Judging from the mottled patina in the depression and the overall weight, this end should be openable, but it has not been opened for many years and has become corroded by moisture.

After looking at it, he turned sideways to avoid the crowd and tried to press the pattern on the copper ring, but it didn't work. Then he tried to turn it, and it turned and there was a sound.

There was a gap with no pattern on the three layers of copper rings. After restoring the gap on the first layer of copper rings, I tried to turn the second layer of copper rings. Unexpectedly, it could not be turned again.

After pondering, turn the first layer of copper rings slightly, and then turn the second layer. This time it can be turned again.

By this time, it has been determined that this object is a weapon with an unknown purpose. There is a round protrusion on the upper part of the three-layer copper ring. This round protrusion is most likely the trigger mechanism of the weapon. As long as you don't press it

Press this round protrusion, even if you turn the third layer of copper ring, it should not be triggered.

Thinking of this, I tried to turn the third layer of copper rings. After a slight rotation, the entire copper rod vibrated violently. Due to the abnormal suddenness and large amplitude of the vibration, the copper rod almost fell off. Seeing this, I hurriedly tightened it tightly.

Holding it, Datou and others on the side saw that this thing had been triggered, and they were extremely nervous and alert.

I don’t know what will be ejected from the other end of the copper rod when I press the circular protrusion at this time. I don’t dare to try it rashly without knowing the details. I can only reset the copper rings one by one from top to bottom. Only the third layer of copper rings has been reset.

, the violent vibration of the copper rod disappeared, and then all the second and first rings were reset, and the copper rod became completely calm.

Putting the copper rod on the table, the five people looked at each other in confusion. At this time, they already knew that this object was the magic weapon that Sasaki said could hurt the earthly branches, but it was definitely not a firearm, and the specific use method of this object was as well.

The target of the attack remains to be further explored.

After looking at each other, Datou reached out and picked up the copper rod. After looking at it back and forth, he said, "This thing is rusty. It must be old."

"Looking at the shape, it should be something from the Pre-Qin period." He said that he had been to the Taiping Inn many times before, and the Ni family also had many antiques. He had seen a lot of old things, and he had a rough idea of ​​the characteristics of the utensils of different eras.

There are enough.

Datou pointed to the graphics on the copper ring and said, "The first ring is divided into yin and yang, the second ring is divided into the five elements, and the third ring should be divided into Bagua. If you calculate it like this, this thing should be able to spray fifteen different things."

"It's not fifteen kinds, it's eighty kinds." Yang Kai shook his head and said.

Hearing Yang Kai's words, Datou frowned and looked at the copper rod in his hand, "This thing is not big. If there are really so many combinations, how complicated must the mechanism inside be?"

After the leader finished speaking, Yu Yi on the side responded, "Even if Lu Ban was alive and Mozi was reborn, he would not be able to stuff eighty kinds of mechanisms into such a small object. I feel that there is only one most important thing in it, and this is

The most important thing is like money, and these eighty combinations are just eighty different ways to spend it."

"It makes sense," nodded, "different combinations can attack different targets."

"Do you dare to find a place where there is no one and try it?" Datou became very curious.

"Better say goodbye," he shook his head and said, "We don't know how many times this thing can be used.

Don’t let this time go to waste.”

After saying that, Yang Kai reached out and took the copper rod from the big head's hand, pointed and said, "I feel that the yin and yang in the ring should represent living things and yin things. The five elements are not difficult to understand, whether they are yin things or living things."

, there are always five elements to which they belong, and the Eight Diagrams are also the different belongings of all things in the world."

Datou seemed to understand, "What you said about Yin Yang and Five Elements makes sense. What does Bagua mean? What does it represent?"

Yang Kai explained, "It may represent different attack targets. For example, in the Bagua, Dui refers to a girl, while Zhen refers to an eldest man. If the target is an older man, you may need to change the third ring to Zhen. Also.

It may represent different attack parts. Among the eight trigrams, the head is Qian and the abdomen is Kun. If you want to attack the opponent's head, turn the three rings to Qian."

It was okay if Yang Kai didn't explain, but the more he explained, the more confused he became, "What nonsense, you are not a Taoist priest, how do you understand this?" ??

"I practice the Zhou Tian Divine Skill, so I naturally understand Yin Yang and the Five Elements." Yang Kai said.

While the two were talking, the waiter cautiously brought the food, and everyone paused their deliberations and began to carry bowls to eat.

Yang Kai handed the copper rod to him but waved it off, "I already have a lot of utensils with me. This thing is quite heavy and it's inconvenient for me to carry it with me. You can keep it."

Hearing what he said, Yang Kai put away the copper rod and picked up the rice bowl, "The second master is proficient in mechanism creation. If you meet the second master in the future, you can ask him to think about it."

What everyone ate was soup noodles and pickles, which is also a common food nowadays. While eating, they casually said, "This thing shouldn't be classified as a hidden weapon. I heard them say before that this thing is a magical weapon, so I guess it's inside

There should be something magical hidden there."

"Where did the Japanese pirates come up with such a good thing?" Big Head asked.

With his short hands and short legs, it was difficult to reach the food, so he moved one of the plates of pickles to the edge of the dining table, and then said, "I think it should be Xu Fudang."

Although there were no Taoist priests in the pre-Qin period, there were alchemists. The alchemists were somewhat similar to the Taoist priests in the later period. Xu Fu's status at that time was equivalent to that of the current Protector of the Country. He could be described as having a high position and power. He was not prepared when he left.

When I come back, I will definitely try to take whatever I can take away with me."

"Ying Zheng is also short-sighted. Why don't you look for elixir? How can there be such a thing in the world?" Datou suddenly remembered something when he said this, "Hey, don't tell me, it really does exist. The Nine Heavens Fairy Dew from Xuanfeng Island can do it."

Immortal, by the way, my lord, do you think what Ying Zheng was looking for back then was Nine Heavens Immortal Dew?"

"Who knows," he shook his head and said, "but Xuanfeng Island is indeed in the East China Sea, and Xu Fu's choice of location is correct."

"According to what you said, the Japanese pirates should have a lot of good things in their hands." Datou said casually.

"The pre-Qin Dynasty unified the nine states and collected all the treasures from the world. I must have collected a lot of magical weapons and martial arts secrets," he said, "but there shouldn't be many that can harm the earthly branches. This time we can kill two birds with one stone. Not only do we use the methods that the Japanese pirates use to deal with the earthly branches,

After seizing the weapon, we can rush to Buhan Mountain and catch Mitsubishi Mori and others in one fell swoop. I feel that Mitsubishi Mori and others should be the main force of the Japanese pirates looking for the Earthly Branches. If we kill them, we will not look for other Earthly Branches next.

There will be obstacles.”

As the saying goes, people feel refreshed when happy events happen. Most of the people in the group were tired from traveling all the way. After hearing this, they instantly felt good and energetic. After a good meal, everyone started to pack up and hit the road.

At this moment, the headman who had previously escorted Sasaki and Nissan Chiba ran over in panic. When he saw them, he immediately knelt down and apologized repeatedly, saying that he had done something wrong and allowed his prisoner to run away.

Originally, he wanted to let Sasaki and Nissan Chiba go, so he naturally would not blame the police. Knowing that Sasaki would definitely run south after escaping, he was worried that he would be caught up by the police with Nissan Chiba, who had an injury on his leg.

He chased the head west.
