This is the reason why Jiuxiao Huanpei has been treasured by Ye family for thousands of years.
This instrument is a well-deserved rare and famous instrument in terms of both specifications and shape, a one-of-a-kind treasure. Even though there is only one string left, the sensitivity to the ether is still intact.
Although Ye Qingxuan has no experience in using other musical instruments, he believes that nothing can compare with the Jiuxiao Huanpei in terms of fine operation.
You know, Ye's reputation as "almost demonic" in his research on ether is not just a boast.
Amidst the echoing sound of the piano, the ether ball also slowly lit up.
In the boy's hand, it emitted a scorching temperature, almost as if it was about to burn.
In the sphere, the silver dust undulates and trembles violently.
Using himself as a bridge, Ye Qingxuan turned the Jiuxiao Huanpei into a signal amplifier, amplifying the detection accuracy of the ether sphere hundreds of times.
A huge amount of information poured into it in an instant, almost completely destroying it.
But Jiuxiao Huanpei skillfully controlled the critical point of collapse, maintaining it at the point of overclocking and complete collapse, cruelly squeezing out every ounce of performance, and pushing its effect to the highest peak.
In the room, a brilliant light lit up.
In Ye Qingxuan's hands, the ether ball slowly lifted up, suspended in the air, and slowly rotated.
The silver dust stirred violently, and various vague pictures flashed in accordance with Ye Qingxuan's thoughts.
A crack slowly emerged from above.
The young man sighed.
After all, it is the most basic configuration, and the various functions can only be said to be barely adequate.
If it is the legendary largest ether ball in the world - the Temple of the Holy City, you can even observe the ether tide bursting out in every corner of the world.
According to legend, countless scholars gather in the Holy City Hall at every moment, paying attention to the movement of ether in every corner of the continent.
Whenever a musician breaks through the barriers of knowledge and resonates with the world, the ether waves set off will create a rising star in the temple of the Holy City.
In the nine-level starry field, the data of every musician is recorded. All the powerful people in the entire world are under observation in the Holy City.
Anyone who has witnessed that magnificent phenomenon will feel from the bottom of their hearts what "gods' eyes are like lightning", which is a perspective that only gods can have.
Compared with the Holy City Hall, the most basic ether ball in Ye Qingxuan's hand is not even dust, but even so, it is enough to reveal the entire structure of Manna City.
Gradually, the ether ball in his hand had more and more cracks, until finally, with a crisp sound, it shattered into a ball of gradually dispersing dust.
Luxury goods that were enough for Ye Qingxuan's original half-year salary were burned out in one go.
Ye Qingxuan suddenly felt a pain in his body.
If we don't get this money back with interest from the Tianzhu people, we will suffer a big loss this time!
He took out the pen from his sleeve and leaned over to write urgently on the white paper.
In his rough sketch, the structure of Manna City gradually emerged.
The largest brothel in the Lower City itself has hundreds of rooms and countless corridors, not to mention dozens of small courtyards for distinguished customers, as well as secret doors, secret passages, basements, etc. necessary for doing dirty work. Something.
But now, most of the structures appear on the paper as the boy outlines them.
"Oh, cousin, your skills are pretty good. Where did you learn them?" Bai Xi leisurely grabbed snacks on the table and ate them.
"My dad taught me this in a place called Hawaii."
"...Your father knows so much." Bai Xi muttered: "What else did he teach you?"
"Too many to count."
Ye Qingxuan shrugged.
Under the girl's resentful glare, he finally sighed helplessly: "Okay, this is a skill I learned when I taught myself mechanical engineering. Anyway, the basics of architectural drawings and mechanical drawings are almost the same... I just learned it."
"nailed it!"
Ye Qingxuan put away the pen in his hand, looked down at the map covering the table, and nodded with satisfaction: "The general structure is almost here. There are still many details that I have remembered, but I don't have time to draw them out."
Bai Xi's eyes lit up: "Where is the treasure house?"
Ye Qingxuan pointed to the three blank spaces on the map: "There are currently three places where the sound of Jiuxiao Huanpei's piano cannot penetrate. There should be other things interfering, or there may be barriers covering them. Those Tianzhu people looted them The treasure should be hidden in here.”
"We want to explore them all?"
"No, at least one...the most dangerous one can be eliminated."
Ye Qingxuan pointed to the center of the blank space: "Of the three blank spaces, one is in the middle of Ganlu City, one is in a secluded courtyard at the back, and one is underground. I suspect that the one in the backyard should be where the musician Pusu Po is. He is A musician from the Tianzhu Ascetic Sect is not happy. Besides, he is so old that he probably doesn’t dare to approach women. So this is the place with the least chance of finding a treasure."
"What if he just keeps those things in his room?"
"impossible."
Ye Qingxuan shook his head: "The essence of the resonance ceremony is to allow the will of the Holy Spirit to temporarily enter the body through the ceremony and break the barriers of knowledge and vision in one go. Therefore, what he requires is absolute purity, which must be established in an absolutely quiet place, isolated from the inside and outside. In the summons There must not be any interference before the Holy Spirit. During this process, the musician himself also needs to fast and bathe, and remove all foreign objects and distracting thoughts in his mind. I am afraid that Pushupa is meditating and practicing asceticism now, and she does not even have a crotch cloth on her body. For the sake of our eyes and safety, let’s get this out of the way.”
Ye Qingxuan stretched out his hand and filled out the blank space in the backyard on the paper, pointing to the blank space in the center of Ganlu City: "This is the closest to us, let's start from here."
"okay."
Bai Xi nodded and looked at the window: "Shall we go over the wall and onto the roof?"
"Don't go on the roof." Ye Qingxuan shook his head: "Although going on the roof is the fastest, it is also the most guarded against. If I have a lair, I will first fill the roof with animal traps, and then have people monitor it 24 hours a day... I'm afraid we'll be discovered by hidden piles within five minutes of walking on the roof."
"Then where to go?"
"Take the main entrance."
Ye Qingxuan waved his cane and smiled: "I have a way to make them turn a blind eye to us."
Thinking of the music of Black Friday, Bai Xi suddenly understood.
But before going out, she was stopped by Ye Qingxuan.
"Do you still remember what we agreed before we came here?" He said seriously: "No matter how random we act, we are not allowed to cause any problems. We just take things and leave, and we will never touch anything that is not planned."
"I know, you've said it several times!" Bai Xi curled his lips.
"you promise?"
"I promise."
The girl swore to the sky and looked unhappy: "You don't believe me?"
"I believe in you more than anyone else."
Ye Qingxuan laughed and pinched her face: "My music score needs to be fully operated to block other people's senses. If something happens, I may not even have the ability to resist. Do you understand?"
He paused and said softly: "So, I leave my life to you."
“…”
Bai Xi was startled.
She raised her head and glanced at him, then lowered her head, just stepped up her feet and patted Ye Qingxuan's head: "Well, I will protect you."
"It would be great."
Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and opened the door.
Soon, he heard someone coming in the corridor.
…
In the corridor, the steward Salman wandered around worriedly, hesitating whether to knock on the door... What if the two brothers were having fun and were disturbed by him? It's rare to be a high-roller who spends a lot of money.
But the situation of those two people always made him feel that something was wrong... After working here for so many years, he had seen countless perverts, but this was the first time he had seen such a pervert.
I always feel like something is wrong.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the door.
For some unknown reason, when he stepped into the corridor, he suddenly dazzled, his eyes blurred, and he vaguely heard a wailing melody, like a river.
The oil lamp on the wall jumped very suddenly, and the light flickered. He shook his head, and the faint melody could no longer be heard.
He stood outside the door, his ear pressed against the door, listening to what was going on behind the door.
Behind him, a vague figure frowned and clenched his cane—Black Friday · Section 2 · Auditory Interference.
Salman's expression suddenly changed, and he heard heavy breathing and a sound like whipping behind the door.
"These two brats are quite good at playing."
He mumbled and knocked gently on the door: "Guest? Guest?"
"What are you doing? Leave us alone!" A disgusted voice came from behind the door.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Salman curled his lips, his suspicion dissipated: It seems that there are really all sorts of perverts these days.
He turned around and left, but he didn't see two vague shadows following him, walking towards the atrium under his leadership.
Just in another corridor, Salman saw a dark-skinned, muscular young man walking up the steps, and he quickly approached with a flattering smile:
"Master Posina, long time no see. You look more and more brave."
The young man covered in gold jewelry was in a hurry and had no time to pay attention to him. He just asked: "Where is my brother?"
"Master Sheila Jita is in the room in the atrium and has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Well, go and tell the people below not to disturb my brother and I. We have important things to talk about."
Vasina walked straight past Salman and towards the atrium.
After Ye Qingxuan hesitated for a moment, he followed Posina. Soon, he discovered that Posina was going to the atrium where they originally planned to go.
But once he got nearby, he no longer dared to rely on the effect of "Music Note Hazy".
There is a very serious etheric interference in the front, which should be an arrangement to prevent the musician from assassinating. The notes get out of control there. Only knots with a more stable structure can maintain the effect.
Ye Qingxuan signaled Bai Xi to be alert, then awakened Jiuxiao Huanpei and started playing the melody of "Black Friday".
Soon, the black river in his mind began to flow again, spreading around with a gloomy and desperate melody.
Section 1·Visual interference.
After ensuring that everyone nearby was affected by the melody, he quickly chased after it.
It seems that the people of Tianzhu have indeed spent a lot of money on Pusu Po's breakthrough. Even the barrier that protects the entire Ganlu City is no longer in charge. All the searches and defensive measures that Ye Qingxuan had planned along the way were ineffective.
They had passed several stunned guards and arrived at the heavily fortified door.
However, before he could unlock the door, he heard a faint voice coming from behind the door.
That strange and high-pitched voice was full of astonishment:
"The professor is being hunted? Are you sure?"
