Everyone had water bags with them, but Shi Xuanming's water bag was filled with wine. Shi Xuanming also knew that everyone knew that his water bag was filled with wine, so when he asked for it, he casually grabbed the water bag and handed it over.

Taking the water bag, he immediately reached out with his right hand, extended his spiritual energy through the air, and grabbed a porcelain bowl left by the Japanese pirates in the northeast corner of the stone room.

Everyone didn't know what to do, so they all looked at him with doubtful eyes.

Pour the wine into the porcelain bowl, then take out the copy of the map that Da Tou found out from Mitsubishi Mori last night, point to the three red circles on the map and say to everyone, "These three red circles are all drawn with cinnabar.

"Cinnabar is insoluble in water. If you want to write with cinnabar, you must mix it with wine. There is a characteristic in the things written with cinnabar. As time goes by, the alcohol will gradually evaporate and the cinnabar will gradually become mottled and fall off."

Hearing the words, Yang Kai was the first to understand his intention, "Do you want to soak the map in wine and determine by how quickly the cinnabar dissolves whether the three red circles drawn with cinnabar were drawn at the same time or one after another?

From?"

"Yes," nodded, "if the red circle of the ugly cow dissolves first, followed by Chenlong, and then Maotu, it can mean that Mitsubishi Forest paints and paints every place it destroys, and from this it can also be said that

It proves that the red circle on the map is just a mark made by Mitsubishi Mori and has no other deep meaning."

Datou took advantage of the pause in breathing and took over the conversation, "If these three red circles dissipate at the same time after encountering the drink, it means that they were drawn at the same time by the old donkey caller."

"Well," nodded again, "since they were drawn at the same time, it is unlikely to be a memo mark. Mitsubishi Sen probably had other purposes, and he might even have drawn it deliberately for us to see."

After saying that, he folded the map copy and flattened it, and then carefully dipped the red circled part into the wine.

Since the cinnabar had dried completely, it did not dissolve immediately after being exposed to the wine. Everyone stared at the porcelain bowl intently, holding their breath and carefully observing the subtle changes in the three red circles.

Soak for a moment and shake the porcelain bowl slightly. As the wine in the bowl sloshes, the three red circles will fade and dissolve almost at the same time.

Seeing this, everyone took a breath of cold air. At this time, they could already conclude that the three red circles were drawn at the same time. Then they continued to shake the porcelain bowl. After a while, they took out the map and spread it out for comparison.

indivual

The faded red circles are the same color, indicating that the remaining cinnabar on them is roughly equal, and it is concluded that the three red circles were painted at the same time.

The reason why he used wine to test the red circle was mainly to dispel Datou's doubts. In fact, he did not think the matter was so complicated. The unexpected result of the test confirmed Datou's worries. Mitsubishi Mori drew a red circle on the map.

The circle is really meant to lead people to Silla.

"If you hadn't thought things through carefully and discovered the clues, we would have suffered a big loss this time in Silla." He turned to look at Da Tou.

Hearing the compliment, Datou was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, you are serious, you are really careful. I am just guessing. Besides, even if these circles are drawn together, they are not necessarily traps.

Maybe it was just a random drawing by that old guy."

Seeing Datou's polite refusal, Shi Xuanming curled his lips and scorned, "Excessive modesty is hypocrisy."

Datou wanted to refute, but was stopped by a wave of his hand, "Don't argue, let's clear things up first."

After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to him again, sorted out their thoughts, and then said, "The ugly cow is still there, but Mitsubishi Mori has already painted this place. Why do you think he wanted to paint it in advance?"

Draw a red circle here?"

After waiting for a moment and no one answered, Yang Kai said, "There are two possibilities. One is that the Japanese mage thought that they had a magic weapon in their hands and it would not be difficult to kill the ugly cow. They thought they were bound to win, so they drew it in advance.

Red circle."

"Do you think this is possible?" he added with a smile.

"Not very likely. The most likely one is the second one," Yang Kai shook his head and said, "The second possibility is that the Japanese mage suspects that our trip to the East China Sea is just a plan to bring the tiger back to the mountain. The purpose is just to lure away the seven major families.

He will come back after a shot, and will not really go to Japan. At this time, all the seven major families have been led away by us, and only the Japanese pirates who came to Middle-earth in the early days are left in Middle-earth. This Japanese Japanese pirate may have guessed that we

The purpose of bringing the tiger back to the mountain is to buy time to find the earthly branches. I also know that if this is the case, we may encounter us at any time in the next period of time, and the prince and the four of us

Traveling together, if they really meet on a narrow road, they will definitely be in trouble."

Yang Kai paused briefly here, then continued, "This Japanese mage also made the worst plan. If they really encounter us, after they lose, this map will fall into our hands.

, he drew three locations on the map, and his only purpose was to lead us to Silla. If there were only two locations, Chenlong and Maotu, we would not necessarily rush to Silla first, and if we don’t go there in the near future

In Silla, you may not be able to meet the seven major families of Japan."

After Yang Kai finished speaking, everyone nodded, and Yu Yi said, "What Yang Kai said makes sense. I suspect that after learning that we robbed the ship and sailed eastward to the sea, the Japanese pirates who came to China in the early stage and the seven major pirates who arrived in China later

The family had serious disagreements. The Japanese pirates who came first, including Mitsubishi Mori, believed that we were just returning the tiger to buy time, and would not really go to Japan, so there was no need for them to leave China and return to their country. And the seven major families

I just came here not long ago, and I didn’t know much about our style of doing things. I was worried that we would really go to Japan to assassinate their emperor, so I decided to go back to China to rescue them with the idea that I would rather believe it than believe it wasn’t true.”

He nodded and looked up, "That makes sense, keep talking."

Yu Yi said again, "Mitsubishi Mori is the group of Japanese pirates who first came to China. It is precisely because they did not do things well and suffered many losses when fighting us that the Emperor of Japan sent seven major families to help them. Therefore, I doubt these two

The Bo'er Japanese pirates are not united and dislike each other. It is precisely because they have been secretly competing with each other. After the seven major families rushed back to rescue them, Mitsubishi Mori led his troops to continue to search for and attack the Earthly Branches.

He may want to use this to prove to their emperor that they can kill the Earthly Branches even without the seven major families."

"Continue." Nod.

Yu Yi continued, "What I said are all speculations and have no evidence. I feel that the seven major families who are rushing to Silla should not have made any agreement with Mitsubishi Mori and others before setting off, and they will not set traps in Silla.

After we fell into a trap, Mitsubishi Mori's attempt to lure us to Silla may just be out of the mentality of a blind man crossing the river. If he is unlucky, he will not make it easier for others. If we rush to Silla in the near future, we are likely to encounter the seven major families.

It will be a life-and-death fight. As for Mitsubishi Mori, who is already dead, no matter who wins or loses between us and the seven major families, he can benefit from it. If we lose,

The seven major families have avenged him. If the seven major families lose, it won't be too shameful for him to be killed by us. After all, even the seven major families can't defeat us, so it's normal that he can't."

After I finished speaking, everyone nodded, and Datou asked curiously, "How come you, a nun, understand human nature so well?"

"Amitabha, the Buddha's Dharma is boundless, and the clear mind reveals one's nature." Yu Yi clasped his hands together.

"Hey, you're a real man, we've all said it, it's your turn." Da Tou pushed Shi Xuanming.

"What did you say?" Shi Xuanming asked casually.

"You can say whatever you want." Datou said.

"Can you still drink this bowl of wine?" Shi Xuanming pointed to the bowl of red wine.

Datou frowned and said, "Tsk, we were talking about business, didn't you listen just now?"

"Listen, listen," Shi Xuanming nodded repeatedly, "You are all right, but even if we know that the Japanese mage wants to lure us to Silla, we can only rush over and we can't just watch.

The Earthly Branches there were killed by Japanese pirates."

Hearing Shi Xuanming's words, everyone was speechless. What Shi Xuanming said did make sense. What everyone had inferred before was just the ins and outs of the whole thing, but the end result was the same. They still had to rush to Silla as soon as possible to protect the earthly branches.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a deep voice, "These families that came to Middle-earth later were very powerful. We fought very hard against one of them. Fighting against seven major families at the same time, it was like a moth flying into a flame, narrowly escaped death."

Seeing the worry, Datou hurriedly expressed comfort, "I know that there are tigers in the mountains, but I prefer to go to the Tiger Mountains. What's more, the tigers are from our side. I feel like I can fight them."

Having said that, Yang Kai and others did not agree. It is a good thing to have fighting spirit, but it is not enough to fight against the enemy alone. There is a huge gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves.

"We will discuss this later." He stood up and said, "It's already dawn. Let's go out and look for the earthly branches."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then walked out of the stone room holding weapons.
