Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 938 The old guy is not easy to deal with

Seeing that the situation was not right, Feng Hao hurriedly spoke.

"Old Prince, Brother Xu is still young, so it's inevitable that he speaks without restraint. I hope you can be magnanimous and not bother with him."

"Yes, old prince, this boy is very straightforward and doesn't speak in a roundabout way. Don't be angry." Wu Zhengyuan echoed.

Gu Chan said nonchalantly, "Old Prince, please don't be angry. This thing of yours is really not a treasure in my hometown."

"What? You have this kind of treasure in your hometown?" Prince Leng said in surprise.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always believed that the thing given to him by the master must be a great treasure. Otherwise, how could it be said that whoever unlocks it will be the savior of the Earth-Moon Kingdom?
And most importantly, since he got this thing, he has spent decades trying to figure it out, but until now he still can't solve it, let alone figure out the mystery.

Gu Chan explained, "This thing is called Luban Lock in my hometown. It is a toy that is very difficult to unlock with interlocking rings. It is usually used by people to train their brains."

"Lu Ban Lock?" Prince Leng and Feng Hao asked in unison.

Seeing how confused they were, Gu Chan couldn't help but laugh again.

Just now, when the red cloth was not uncovered, she thought that this old man had really got some great treasure, but now she realized that this thing was really not a great treasure.

This also means that the so-called master who gave him the Lu Ban Lock was actually a time traveler, but no one knows where he has gone now.

Prince Leng came back to his senses and said in disbelief, "Boy, are you bragging? I don't believe what you say."

"If you don't believe it, what can I do?" Gu Chan said with his hands spread out.

"If you untie it, I will believe you." Prince Leng said tentatively.

Without saying a word, Gu Chan immediately reached out and picked up the Lu Ban lock and began to unlock it skillfully.

Before she traveled through time, she had only played with this thing when she was in modern times. It cannot be solved by force, and requires some clever solutions.

Look, it took less than an incense stick of time for Gu Chan to quickly untie the Lu Ban lock.

Prince Leng and his two companions were stunned on the spot, their mouths wide open, dumbfounded, they simply couldn't believe their eyes.

Gu Chan smiled and said, "What do you think, Prince Leng? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Oh my God! I never expected it! The treasure that I treasured so much turned out to be just a small gadget among the people of Yexing Country. I was so stupid that I was deceived by that master back then!" Prince Leng sighed.

"Old prince, don't be so depressed. The master didn't lie to you. Although this is a little gadget among the people of Yexing Country, not everyone can decipher it. Moreover, it is only circulated among specific ethnic groups. Few people in the outside world know about it." Gu Chan made up a set of words to comfort the old guy.

After hearing what she said, Prince Leng felt a little less disappointed.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes, and quickly pieced together the disassembled Luban Lock, then handed it to Feng Hao and Wu Zhengyuan and said, "Come on, try to solve it now."

"What a joke! You just solved it in front of us. We can easily solve it even if we copy you!" Feng Hao said disdainfully. "That's not necessarily true!" Gu Chan said with a strange smile.

Feng Hao didn't believe it, and immediately started to solve the problem with Wu Zhengyuan.

But then a strange scene appeared. No matter how they solved it, even if they followed the steps that Gu Chan had just used to unlock it, they still couldn't completely unlock it. In the end, they had no choice but to give up trying to unlock it.

Wu Zhengyuan was dumbfounded and said, "Brother Xu, how could this happen?"

"There is more than one way to fasten this lock, and naturally there is more than one way to unlock it. As long as there is a piece of wood, fastened in a different position, there is another way to unlock it. This is the most direct reason why the old prince has studied it for decades but still cannot unlock it." Gu Chan explained.

Feng Hao and Wu Zhengyuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

The doubts that Prince Leng had hidden for many years were completely resolved at this time.

In order to avoid getting herself into trouble, Gu Chan said tactfully, "Old Prince, when the master gave it to you, he said it was a treasure, but to say that the person who could unlock it would be the savior of the Earth-Moon Country is a bit exaggerated. This thing is in my hometown, and there are many people who can unlock it. If it is true as the master said, then wouldn't those people in my hometown be the saviors of the Earth-Moon Country?"

"This..." Prince Leng was choked speechless.

Gu Chan quickly changed the subject and said, "Old Prince, I guess the test you gave us was this Lu Ban lock! Now that I have unlocked it, do I pass your test?"

"Bullshit, I just took it out to discuss with you and see if you can help me solve it. My test of you hasn't started yet!" Prince Leng said unhappily.

"Ah? This..." Gu Chan was dumbfounded.

Sure enough, this old guy was not so easy to deal with. She had indeed thought too simply, thinking that by unlocking the Luban lock, she could get the red spider lily.

Prince Leng did not want to dwell on the matter of the Luban lock any more, so he put it back on the tray and covered it with a red cloth, and told the maid to take it back to the treasury for storage. Then he stood up and said, "Come with me! The next step is the real test. Whoever can pass this test will go to the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce to find Guo Pinchuan to get the red spider lily."

"Yes, old prince." The three responded in unison.

Then they followed Prince Leng out of the pavilion and walked towards the west courtyard at the back of Prince Leng's mansion.

When the four of them arrived at the west courtyard together, Gu Chan discovered that there was a huge stone about three or four meters high placed in the middle of the west courtyard. On the top of the stone, there was a black sword that had been rusted for a long time. Only the hilt of the sword was exposed, and no one knew how long the sword body inserted into the boulder was.

The four of them walked to the big rock. Prince Leng looked up at the rusty black hilt and said, "This is the Black Moon Sword, the founding sword of the royal family of our Diyue Kingdom. Back then, our royal ancestor held it in his hand and conquered this great country."

"It turns out that the legendary royal founding sword is hidden here!" Feng Hao said with emotion.

"Yes! Hundreds of years have passed, and I didn't expect it to still be alive, and it's just a little rusty." Wu Zhengyuan also exclaimed.

Gu Chan stared at the rusty hilt and said solemnly, "What a great Black Moon Sword. It really has an extremely powerful spiritual energy."

At this moment, she could clearly feel that the Black Moon Sword inserted into the big stone was constantly emitting powerful spiritual energy.

This is enough to prove that although its surface is rusty and looks like a useless sword, it is actually very powerful and is definitely not much weaker than swords like the Beast Taming Sword Mother Sword.
