(God's perspective)
Located in the secret room of the demon king's city, Ashin, the wolf demon, followed Yun Qishen's instructions and rotated the twelve-ring compass.
After a lot of effort, when Ashin reached the last word, the compass suddenly became stuck.
Ah Xin couldn't turn the compass even one inch.
"What happened?"
Yun Qishen put the book away and stood up to look at Ashin who was turning the huge twelve-ring compass.
"This seems to be stuck... I tried my best and couldn't push it." Ashin worked so hard that he didn't have any extra energy to continue turning the compass. Just when Ashin thought of relaxing and letting go of the compass, the compass moved ten times. The second ring started to rotate quickly.
The text they had just moved restored its previous complex order.
"This is not me..." Ashin wanted to explain that this had nothing to do with him.
"I understand, you are not wrong. It is the problem of the twelve-ring compass itself."
Yun Qishen tried to turn the text rings on the compass. He found that every time he turned one of the rings, it would drive the other rings. This is why the last ring could not be turned. The other eleven rings limit its rotation.
For example, it is like the hands on a clock. The second hand has one circle and one minute hand.
Here, the movement of each of the twelve rings causes the other rings to move in different directions.
This is not difficult for Yun Qishen, but this kind of mechanism is very troublesome.
Yun Qishen wrote down the twenty-four groups of words he had just found, and then began to turn the compass.
Ashin watched Yun Qishen turn the compass easily, and when it finally reached the last link, Yun Qishen also turned it easily.
When both of them thought this was a success, the compass turned again and the words spread out again.
This is a bit confusing.
"Is it possible that the order is wrong?" Yun Qishen thought deeply and then noticed the remaining books. What secrets are hidden in the remaining six sets of books?
Ashin also sighed in disappointment, but at this time he could only watch Yun Qishen act.
Yun Qishen listed the words in the remaining six groups. He imitated the little spell that Zuo Qi had used to turn demonic characters into words, and arranged those characters in the air with demonic energy.
Qishen didn't recognize these words written by the demon clan, but Ashin did recognize some of them.
Ashin looked at the floating words and read aloud with concern.
"Point to...the light...the stars...the road..." That's all Ashin could recognize.
Yun Qishen also asked Ashin to explain which words they were.
After Ashin explained it, Yun Qishen began to study its meaning again.
A wolf demon like Ashin recognized some of these words, so it might have been left intentionally by the person who designed this clue.
The first set of text that appears is the pointer.
What does this pointing mean? The direction of the twelve compass needles? then what?
The bright text is in the center of the six groups, just to the lower right of the pointing direction.
What do the stars and roads mean...
Yun Qishen frowned and looked away from the text and back to the compass pointer that looked like a multi-pointed star.
etc!
direction! bright! Stars! the way!
I understand!
Yun Qishen's thoughts became completely clear. He quickly turned the compass and moved the order of the previous words to the right, moving the first group of words toward the pointer pointing to the lower right.
This time when Yun Qishen let go again, the compass did not rotate suddenly again.
But after a while the compass started to move.
"Is this also wrong?" Ashin became less and less confident in solving this trap.
"I don't think so..." Yun Qishen firmly believed that this time it was absolutely right.
One person and one demon carefully watched the changes in the compass here.
The gap in the twelve-ring compass produced light, followed by the sound of the mechanism rubbing. The outer ring of the compass shrank one ring after another. Soon the huge twelve-ring compass turned into a disc the size of a jade pendant.
The space spell used to seal it was also broken.
Yun Qishen bent down and picked up the disk, which he could easily store at his waist.
Ashin looked at Yun Qishen in disbelief, "How did you crack it? You are so smart."
"That's easy to say. Isn't the pointer of the compass like a star? Pointing and light. You can see some hints from the position of these two words, and then there are stars and roads. Since it points to the light, you have to follow the path of the stars. Moving forward, right? In fact, this kind of prompt can be easily solved when the person solving the problem knows the ancient books in his hand. We seemed to be too impatient before."
"I think you are being humble. You are indeed very smart. If you weren't smart, you wouldn't have thought of this, let alone solved such a complicated mechanism."
"Really? Thank you very much for your compliment." Yun Qishen smiled at Ashin in an easy-going manner.
When Ashin saw Yun Qishen smiling like this, he suddenly mistakenly thought that Yun Qishen was a girl. He knew that he was a man, but Yun Qishen's smile must not be resisted by many people.
He knew from the smell before that Yun Qishen was a person who didn't like to smile very much, so Yun Qishen's smile seemed to be more precious.
After unlocking the spell, Yun Qishen took out the book. It turned out to be the ancient dictionary of the demon clan that he was looking for.
Why does a mere dictionary need so much trouble to seal? Is there any secret hidden in it?
Yun Qishen opened the dictionary and checked its contents.
It doesn't matter when I look at it here, it's really shocking.
This book is not only an ancient Chinese dictionary, but also a record of the ancient magic secrets of the Demon Kingdom and some of the Demon clan's treasures.
Because they are all ancient texts, the previous translations of ancient texts were all translated by monsters.
Yun Qishen knew that there was a kind of witchcraft in the book itself. He noticed it when he opened it, so he couldn't keep reading.
Ashin on the side was obviously confused by the magic power of the book in Yun Qishen's hand and was stunned.
Yun Qishen closed the book and put it away, then patted Ashin on the shoulder, "Hey! We're leaving!"
"...Ah! Okay!" Ashin suddenly came back to his senses and responded. He originally wanted to follow Yun Qishen and leave, but when he turned around, he remembered the treasures he had pretended to be.
Ashin had no choice but to go back and get the treasure before following Yun Qishen.
Through the guidance of the map in the key, Yun Qishen easily found the exit, and one person and one demon safely exited the secret passage.
"Are you leaving?"
Ashin carried the treasure on his back and watched as Yun Qishen opened a body-piercing whirlpool on one side.
"Don't worry, I'll come back to you when I'm done with the matters regarding the Demon Kingdom."
"I hope there will be no cruel wars in this world." Ashin said.
Yun Qishen also dropped a sentence before passing through the whirlpool.
"What you want to hope for is not whether there will be any war at this time, but that those aggressive guys will calm down."
Yun Qishen also left the demon country and returned to Xinjiang.
