Li Muchen was also curious about the usefulness of this compass.
When he first saw it on the street stall, there was still some ancient and mysterious atmosphere on it, especially those incantations. He had learned various incantations in Tiandu, but he didn't understand them.
Because the fixed needle is missing, even though it was repaired, the specific function of the compass could not be seen. However, during the repair process, it was discovered that the internal material of this plate is very unusual and the structure is very complex.
Fortunately, it was only the surface that was damaged, otherwise, he might not be able to repair it well.
I have always carried this compass with me, neither taking it too seriously nor throwing it away.
"Mr. Zhu, the property has returned to its original owner now." Li Muchen returned the compass to Zhu Xiaoyuan, "Mr. Zhu can try to install the fixing pin on it. Maybe he can open the Xuanwu secret realm and find the place where King Chu buried his gold."
Zhu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said: "The bleak autumn wind is coming again today, and the world has changed! I have lived for more than a hundred years, and I am used to seeing the king's flag changing on the top of the city, and looking for gold and dragons, and I have long lost interest. Dynasties rise and fall, and families rise and fall.
For thousands of years. I just hope that my descendants can be safe and that they can keep this family inheritance."
"It was you who found this compass. You are a disciple of Tiandu and a disciple of Wanxian Sect. I think that Liu Bowen is the best in the world, and his compass may have other mysteries. It can only be used in your hands."
It will be a waste of resources."
With that said, he took apart the fake compass, took out the fixing needle, and handed it to Li Muchen, "I'll give you this too. You can put it on and take a look."
Li Muchen did not refuse.
Zhu Xiaoyuan has already said so, and it would be too pretentious to refuse again.
He put the fixing needle into the ancient compass.
At that moment, his consciousness flickered, and he saw a circle of divine light released from the central Tianchi where the needle of the compass was located. The extremely yin energy contained in it was like ripples from the abyss of hell, rippling around him.
In the sea of consciousness.
Li Muchen glanced at Lin Manqing and saw that she was also surprised, obviously feeling the magic power on the compass.
"Manqing, can you understand this spell?"
Li Muchen held the compass in his hand, pouring mana into it, and the spells on the disk glowed with a magical light.
"This..." Lin Manqing frowned, "It's like a witchcraft, but it's not a witchcraft. Does it have to be in a certain arrangement to take effect?"
Li Muchen nodded: "I also discovered that this talisman should match the eight trigrams of the stems and branches on the compass and the directions of the twenty-four mountains."
He asked Zhu Xiaoyuan again, "Mr. Zhu, what did you say just now, what is this plate called?"
"Six Void Wheels." Zhu Xiaoyuan said, "Our ancestors passed down the name like this. I don't know whether the original name was."
"The cycle of six voids..." Li Muchen muttered, "I understand, yang is real and yin is void. In terms of hexagrams, the break in the middle of the yin hexagram is an imaginary image, and the six voids are the six breaks.
If all six lines are broken, it is the Kun hexagram."
Lin Manqing was surprised and said: "Kun is the earth, mother, and the six voids rotate... doesn't it mean reincarnation?"
Li Muchen was slightly surprised and glanced at the compass in his hand.
He held it with one hand and gently slid the fingers of the other hand on the disk. The divine light on the disk flashed, and ripples swayed from the center of the sea floor, dividing the compass into many concentric circles.
Each circle can rotate freely, forward and reverse, without affecting each other.
Li Muchen understood that the magical effect of this compass lies in this circle.
From the Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, Bagua, Twenty-Four Mountains... plus many talismans, circle after circle, superimposed on top of each other, they need to be combined layer by layer to exert their magical effects.
This is like a combination disk in a safe, which usually only has three layers. It is already difficult to decrypt. There are forty-nine layers on this compass, and each layer is different. There are ten heavenly stems, twelve earthly branches, and eight trigrams.
The number is eight, the mountain is twenty-four...
This is billions of times more complicated than the combination to a safe.
In just a short period of time, Li Muchen has tried out several possibilities and slightly understood the magical functions of those talismans. The circle composed of talismans represents the twenty-eight constellations of the stars.
But as the roulette wheel rotates, the spells keep changing, and there are many that he cannot understand their meanings.
"Mr. Zhu, this compass should have a corresponding scripture secret book. Did Liu Bowen pass it down?" Li Muchen asked.
Zhu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said: "Initially there were a few formulas, but because they could not be written down, they could only be passed down orally. When they were passed to me, they had been lost and only the compass remained."
Li Muchen suddenly felt pity.
He has already felt that this Six Void Wheel Wheel is not an ordinary magic weapon, it is very powerful, and it was definitely not created by Liu Bowen, because the aura on it is very ancient.
Such a complex magic weapon must have special scriptures and secret texts, and it is not enough to just test the oral formula. It is estimated that Liu Bowen was not willing to completely hand over this kind of magical weapon to the Zhu family, so he only left a few oral formulas.
Without tips, it means there are no instructions for use, so you can only explore slowly.
Li Muchen said: "I can go to Xuanwu Lake to try to see if I can enter the secret realm. Whether I can go or not depends on your arrangements, Mr. Zhu."
Zhu Xiaoyuan thought for a while and said: "If I can go in, I still have to go in and take a look. It can be regarded as fulfilling one of my wishes. No matter what the result is, let the Zhu family's mission end in my hands."
"But before entering the secret realm, we have to settle your matter first. I think we will gather the martial arts colleagues in the town tomorrow and hold a briefing meeting. Whether Tong Hao will come or not is another matter. I will take this opportunity to first discuss the situation between Jianghu and Jianghu.
Muchen, your misunderstanding has been cleared up."
Li Muchen nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll have to work hard."
Zhu Xiaoyuan said with a smile: "With me and Lao Xiao here, at least we will be given the respect of fellow martial arts fellows. We two immortals are only worth this, hahahaha!"
Xiao Sheng said: "I have an idea. We, Southern Zhu and Northern Xiao, have been at odds for decades, leaving the world divided into two parts. This time, it is rare that martial arts comrades from all over the world gather in Jinling. Why don't we propose that Mu Chen be elected as a martial artist?
Alliance leader, how about it?"
Zhu Xiaoyuan said: "This proposal is good, I agree."
Li Muchen was about to object, but Xiao Sheng interrupted him and said, "I know that the leader of the martial arts alliance is not in your eyes, so don't rush to object. Listen to me first."
"Although Lao Zhu and I are somewhat thin-faced in the martial arts world, we want to help you clear up your reputation today. But people who don't know think that we are using our reputation to suppress others, and maybe they think we gain some benefit from you. But we refuse to
As the leader of the martial arts alliance, there are bound to be people who are dissatisfied and want to come out to challenge you. If you continue to defeat the heroes and dominate the world, from now on, there should be no more powerful families in the world who can be your enemy. If you want to revive the Li family, you will have no worries.
Already."
Li Muchen felt that it made sense. Indeed, he had a lot of things to do later, and he could not always focus on trivial matters in the world of mortals. If he could shock the Chinese martial arts world in one fell swoop, he would be able to resolve the family feud once and for all and ensure the safety of his family and friends.
Zhu Xiaoyuan said: "Old Xiao is right. Moreover, if you want to be the leader of the alliance, if you become more popular, you may be able to lure Tong Hao and others out."
