Chapter 455: 1 Woman, 6 Husbands, 4
Jin Yu walked carefully to the treasure chest, his eyes fixed on the symbols that were the key to opening the treasure chest.
He tried to follow the instructions on the stone tablet and placed his hand on the specific symbols on the treasure chest, but the treasure chest did not respond.
Ling Xiao anxiously watched Jin Yu's actions. He whispered, "What do these symbols mean? How can we open it?"
Qingge walked forward, his fingers gently touching the symbol on the treasure chest, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
"Such mechanisms often require a specific sequence or a certain ritual to unlock."
Liuyun looked around, his eyes sweeping across the walls of the stone chamber, trying to find possible clues.
"Perhaps, the clue to the mechanism is hidden in this stone chamber."
Qingluan squatted in front of the treasure chest, carefully observing every corner of it.
"Perhaps, we need to find some kind of key, or some specific item to open it."
Zi Chen was silent for a while, then he said slowly: "I have heard that the mechanism of some treasures is related to celestial phenomena. Maybe we need to wait until a specific time or a specific star appears before we can open it."
The six people racked their brains to think of a way to open the treasure chest.
Jin Yu was still trying, and after a while, he stood up.
"I once read an ancient book that recorded some legends of the ancient Daxing Kingdom."
He said slowly, "Legend has it that the treasure of the first empress is hidden in the Dayan Mountains, and the opening of the treasure requires a specific ceremony, and this ceremony is related to the full moon night."
He walked to the treasure chest, pointed at the symbols on the stone platform and said, "These symbols represent the positions of the stars. On a full moon night, when the moonlight shines through the cracks on the top of the mountain, matching these symbols may activate the mechanism."
Jin Yu asked the others to step back while he carefully adjusted the positions of the stone tablets to ensure that they matched the symbols perfectly.
Then he took a deep breath and said, "We need to wait until the fifteenth day, when the moon is at its fullest."
Ling Xiao frowned: "Then we can only wait until the fifteenth. Fortunately, the fifteenth is in three days, so we don't need to wait too long."
After discussion, the six people decided to give up temporarily. They agreed to gather again on the 15th and try to open the treasure then.
They restored the treasure chest and cleaned up all traces around it to ensure that it would not be discovered by others.
Before leaving the cave, Jin Yu looked back at the stone platform, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
"Wait until the fifteenth, and we will succeed."
After the six people left, the cave returned to calm, and Nan Xi's figure appeared.
"Treasure?"
Nan Xi came to the stone platform and six stones appeared in her hand. As stone powder kept falling, in just a moment, they turned into six stone tablets.
"Crack clap..."
The treasure chest appeared again. Nan Xi looked at it. It did have a mechanism, but it did not pose a problem for her.
Moonlight is extremely simple to her.
Nan Xi stretched out her fingers, and a round ring appeared on her index finger, which was the star disk ring.
Nan Xi waved her hand, and the power of moon shadow appeared out of thin air and fell on those symbols.
A miracle happened. The moonlight seemed to be attracted by the symbol, forming a beam of light that shone directly at the treasure chest.
The symbols on the treasure chest began to glow, and with a slight mechanical sound, the lock of the treasure chest loosened.
When the lid of the treasure chest was opened, it was not gold or silver that was found inside, but an ancient parchment with more complex symbols and patterns drawn on it.
"what is this?"
Xiaoying asked curiously. He wanted to see what was in the treasure chest, but he didn't expect it to be a piece of parchment.
Nan Xi stared at the parchment, and a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes. How could the Queen's treasure be so simple? There couldn't be only one treasure chest.
"This is a treasure map that leads us to another place. It seems that our journey has just begun."
Xiaoying became excited, "Master, let's go find the treasure. There may be many rare treasures."
Nan Xi nodded, "I'll restore this place first, just in time to give them a great gift."
Nan Xi took out the parchment scroll, put some things into the treasure chest, and restored the stone platform before leaving the cave.
It was getting light and it was almost dawn. The animals woke up and started a new day.
The location marked on the parchment needs to be compared to be confirmed.
Nan Xi simply walked around in the mountains, using the map function of the star chart ring to compare the treasure map, and did not go home until the sun set.
The day was fruitless.
But Nan Xi believed that the day when the secret would be solved was not far away.
...
Liuyun was gesticulating in the yard. He was a ranger and his parents were doing business in Yangcheng, but he only liked the world of martial arts.
After learning a little bit from the escort, it embarked on the journey of the martial arts world.
Fortunately, he found the stone tablet in a cave and followed the clues to Shuanghe Village.
"Wife, where have you been? Why haven't you been home all day?"
Liuyun was a little dissatisfied when he saw Nanxi coming back from outside. Among the six people, he and Qingge had the lowest status, but Qingge fawned on Jinyu, so he was the last.
Therefore, Li Nanxi's kindness to him was particularly precious, making him feel that he could be on equal footing with a nobleman like Jin Yu.
But recently, Li Nanxi suddenly became unfriendly to him, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Nan Xi threw the rabbit in her hand into the yard and said, "We're going to have braised rabbit tonight, so clean it up."
Liuyun picked up the rabbit, agreed, and went to work with a dagger.
The other five people avoided Nan Xi and did not come out. Maybe they thought that the fifteenth day was coming soon and they would leave after taking their things, so they were too disdainful to deal with Nan Xi.
Nan Xi ignored them. In three days, they would receive the big gift she gave them. Thinking of this, Nan Xi felt refreshed.
After dinner, Nan Xi went to bed, and the six of them exchanged glances with each other.
They originally thought that Nan Xi would ask one of them to sleep with her tonight, just like the day before.
But tonight, Nan Xi did not mention this matter, which surprised them and relieved them at the same time.
Qingge looked at the others and said, "Li Nanxi didn't discover our secret, did she?"
Jin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Probably not. She is just an ordinary person. Even if she finds out, it doesn't matter."
Ling Xiao nodded in agreement: "Indeed, her mind doesn't seem to be on us."
Liuyun smiled slightly: "Perhaps she has realized that we are not as simple as she thought."
Qingge shrugged: "No matter what she thinks, our goal will not change."
Qingluan and Zichen didn't say anything, but their eyes revealed determination.
The six people returned to their own rooms and began to prepare for the upcoming full moon night.
