Chapter 358 Finally Broken
This slender box, more than half a meter long, looked a little black under the spider's flesh and blood. Chen Ziyang judged from the occasionally exposed part of the box that the box should be made of bronze, so he picked it up. will be heavier.

After picking up the ancient Xuanming sword, Chen Ziyang laid the blade of the ancient Xuanming sword flat against the edge of the box, and wiped it horizontally a few times, scraping off all the spider flesh and mucus covering the box. Lost.After all six sides of the box were scraped, an antique box with black and green bronze rust was exposed.

Yang Lei also came over, and together with Chen Ziyang, he looked at the box in front of him carefully.

The box is not exquisite, except for a few simple patterns on the surface, there are no other decorations on the box, but the box feels very strong and should be more practical.

After holding the box and looking around in his hands, Chen Ziyang didn't find a way to open the box, and he didn't see any gaps in the box. It is estimated that the gaps on the box have already been filled to death with the flesh and blood of spiders. , can't be seen from the outside at all.However, Chen Ziyang found something different on one side of the box.

After the Xuanming ancient sword was scraped, almost all the spider flesh on the box was scraped off, but there was still a piece of spider flesh remaining on a relatively wide side of the box, and the surface of this piece of spider flesh was the same as The surface of the box is flat, which means that this part of the original box should be sunken, so the spider's flesh and blood in the groove will remain after the Xuanming Ancient Sword scraped it.

Chen Ziyang hastily used the tip of the ancient Xuanming sword to pick at this place, and as small pieces of spider flesh were picked out from the surface of the box, the original appearance of the groove was revealed.

The groove on the box was circular, and there were some raised patterns inside. Chen Ziyang knew at a glance that these patterns were the patterns on the belly of the seal spider and the gold belt buckle.After comparing the size of the circular groove, he suddenly realized.

After hastily finding out the belt buckle of the ancient king of Yumi Kingdom, Chen Ziyang matched the belt buckle to the groove on the box, and then he pushed the belt buckle down abruptly. The pattern fit perfectly with the pattern in the groove of the box, and Chen Ziyang judged by the feel of the two that they had been perfectly combined.

At this time, the back of the belt buckle is exactly level with the surface of the box, and the raised buckle behind the belt buckle is exposed. It seems that this buckle should be used to rotate the belt buckle.Seeing this, Chen Ziyang couldn't help admiring the wisdom of the ancients.

This belt buckle should be the key to open the box, and the belt buckle is hidden seamlessly, and its function cannot be seen at ordinary times. Only when the belt buckle is combined with the box, the buckle behind the belt buckle will Turned into a rotating handle, this design is really exquisite.

Holding the buckle behind the belt buckle, Chen Ziyang spun it vigorously, but the belt buckle didn't move at all, so he had to try again in the opposite direction, but the belt buckle still didn't turn.It seems that because of the time, the gap of the mechanism knob on the box has been blocked by copper rust or the flesh and blood of spiders.

In desperation, Chen Ziyang had no choice but to take off the gold belt buckle again, and then he used the tip of the ancient Xuanming sword to draw vigorously along the circumference of the circular groove on the box, slowly clearing out the gap filled debris.

After inserting the gold belt buckle into the box for the second time, Chen Ziyang grabbed the handle of the gold belt buckle and twirled it vigorously. He exerted all his strength and his face was flushed.

Then Chen Ziyang, who grinned his teeth, let out a loud cry, and at the same time exerted all his strength.Suddenly, he felt his hand loosen the belt buckle, and the handle behind the gold belt buckle finally turned under his vigorous twisting.

A gap was faintly exposed on the box, but it was still not fully opened, and this gap was also full of sundries.Chen Ziyang took off the buckle of the gold belt, weighed it in his hand, and after looking at it for a while, threw it to Yang Lei who was standing aside, saying:
"Let's keep it as a souvenir. This thing can't be sold for a price. Don't dream of getting rich." After saying this, Chen Ziyang continued along the gap opened on the box with the sword of Xuanming Ancient Sword. Cleaning up, because he was afraid that the ancient Xuanming sword would be damaged by forcibly prying open the box, so he could only use this more time-consuming method, and dared not directly pry the box open with the ancient Xuanming sword.

"What's the matter? Why can't you sell it for a price?" Yang Lei asked hastily when he heard that the gold belt buckle was worthless at all.

"Gold is soft. I used so much effort just now that the belt buckle has not deformed. It is obvious that the inside of the belt buckle is not gold at all. It is probably just gold-plated. Put it away carefully, maybe it will be useful later. Woolen cloth."

After listening to Chen Ziyang's words, Yang Lei thought for a while, then he put the belt buckle into his mouth and bit down hard. After the "Ouch", Yang Lei stared at the belt buckle while covering his teeth.

After showing a trace of unwillingness in his eyes, Yang Lei casually put the belt buckle in his pocket. At this time, his action of putting away the belt buckle was completely different from the previous behavior of carefully putting away the belt buckle.

There were not too many sundries in the gaps of the box, and it was easy to clean. After slashing the ancient Xuanming sword twice, Chen Ziyang opened the box violently.Looking at the contents of the box, he scratched his head.

Before opening the box, Chen Ziyang once guessed that the things in the box should be left by the old king of the ancient country of Yumi to control the seal spider or deal with the tree demon, so it should be some tools or some weapons, but Chen Ziyang Yang never thought that the thing in the box he had seen several times before turned out to be a musical instrument.

The thing hidden in the spider body by the old king of the ancient country turned out to be a bronze chime.It may be because it has been placed in the box and has not been damaged by external force. Although the surface of the chime has a layer of green patina, the chime is very well preserved.

"Damn it! Chime bells! Chime bells from more than 2000 years ago! Is it from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period? I've seen it on TV. This kind of thing may fetch a lot of money! Er Yang, let's post it!" Yang Lei shouted in surprise road.

"Send! Send! Send! Can you think of anything other than money in your head?" Chen Ziyang said disdainfully.Looking at the chime in front of him, he made a mistake.

The volume of this chime is not too large, the length of the body of the clock is only about 30 centimeters, and there is a handle more than ten centimeters long on the top of the clock, which should be used to hang the chime on a wooden shelf.How should this chime be used?Chen Ziyang couldn't think of an answer.

The chime bell is not big, so it is obviously not used as a weapon. If it is really used as a weapon, this chime bell is not as good as the ancient Xuanming sword in my hand. Could it be used for striking?Recalling the previous scene in the Bohai Underground Palace, Chen Ziyang came up with such an idea, but he felt that it was not possible at all.

The huge golden bell hanging in the Bohai Underground Palace is very large, and the sound after it is rung is also very loud, so the sound after the bell rings will resonate with the mountain, causing the mountain to collapse.

But it is precisely because of the huge size of the golden bell that ordinary people would not have any effect even if they rang it. If it weren't for the enormous strength of the eight-armed vajra sculpture, and it was the one who rang the golden bell all the time. With the heavy hammer spinning in his hand, it is very likely that the golden bell will not strike at all.

Chen Ziyang, who had no idea at all, decided to give it a try. After all, when he was in Li Yun's tomb, the small golden bell that fell on the ground was not too big, but it still played a certain role.

Holding the handle above the chime with his hand, Chen Ziyang took the chime out of the box, when suddenly something fell out of the chime and fell into the box.

Chen Ziyang turned his head to look, and found that it was a cylindrical bronze stick like a small rolling pin, which should be used to strike the chime. It seemed that the stick was placed in the hollow body of the chime before.

After picking up the bronze stick, Chen Ziyang weighed it with his hands. The bronze stick was actually heavier than the chime bell. It seemed that it should be solid, and the whole body was made of bronze.

Holding the stick in one hand and the chime in the other, Chen Ziyang carefully looked back and forth between the two, and then he found a circular imprint on the side of the chime, which was obviously higher than the body of the bell and the chime. The pattern on the body should be used for knocking.

Lifting the chime high, Chen Ziyang tried to strike the chime.Because he didn't know the strength of the percussion, he didn't dare to use too much force for fear of damaging the chime and the stick in his hand, so he only used five percent of his strength when striking.

It may be because the handle of the chime was held by hand, when the bronze stick hit the chime, it did not make a crisp sound, but a rather dull sound.

While striking, Chen Ziyang kept watching the seal spider lying on the ground, wanting to see how the spider would react after he struck.But when the sound passed, the seal spider remained lying on the ground motionless, and did not respond to the sound from the chime.

"Could it be that I didn't hit hard enough?" Looking at the motionless seal spider, Chen Ziyang felt a sense of loss and worry at the same time.In case the chime was old because it had been stored for too long, lost its proper function, and could not control the seal spider at all, then he would have nothing to rely on to deal with the dryad.

After increasing the strength in his hands, Chen Ziyang tapped the chime again with a bronze stick. This time the chime made a much louder sound, and he could also hear a slight trill after the tap , but the duration of the vibrato is very short.

Seeing that the seal spider still didn't respond, Chen Ziyang became a little anxious.When he was striking just now, he had exerted eighty percent of his strength. If he struck with all his strength, Chen Ziyang was afraid that he would break the chime in his hand, or knock the bronze stick in his hand. Damn, if that's the case, it's really over.

Just as Chen Ziyang was hesitating whether his method of using the chime was correct, and was about to strike the chime again, Yang Lei who was standing aside pushed his shoulder and said, "Er Yang, look there!"

Looking in the direction Yang Lei pointed, Chen Ziyang saw that Yang Lei was pointing at the ancient tree in the center of the open space, but the white beam of light above the ancient tree was still very bright, and the soul was still being sucked in continuously. Among the ancient trees, there is nothing strange.

"Just now I seemed to see that white beam of light move when you struck the chime, but I also saw it from the corner of my eye, so I'm not sure." Yang Lei said hesitantly.

"Could it be that this chime is not used to control the seal spider, but can directly have an effect on the ancient tree?" Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang looked in the direction of the ancient tree, and at the same time used the same strength as before. The chime was rung.

As the third bell rang, Chen Ziyang suddenly saw that the root of the white beam of light hanging above the ancient tree vibrated visibly, and several souls escaped from the beam of light, but these souls had not yet drifted away. He was sucked into the beam of light again, and the beam of light returned to normal.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyang's eyes lit up, he and Yang Lei looked at each other at the same time, and then both of them showed surprise expressions on their faces.

"It turns out that this chime is used in this way. This chime can directly affect those souls!" Chen Ziyang said excitedly, and then he pointed the chime in the direction of the ancient tree, increased the strength in his hand, and ruthlessly rang the bell.

"When... buzzing..." With the sound of the chime, the white beam of light shook violently again, and more souls escaped from the beam of light than last time, and this time the distance between these souls and the beam of light A little further.

"Haha..." Seeing the miraculous effect of the chime, Chen Ziyang burst out laughing. He hastily walked two steps closer to the ancient tree, and then rang the chime continuously.

"Dangdangdang..." Because Chen Ziyang struck very fast, under his continuous strikes, the chime bell made a series of rapid sounds, and with these sounds, the white beam of light above the ancient tree was fierce. shaking up.

The souls that escaped from the beam of light were sucked back into the beam of light in the previous two consecutive knocks, but this time Chen Ziyang's knocking frequency became faster and faster, one after another, before these souls were released from the beam of light. The escaped soul was re-absorbed into the beam of light, and was shaken further away from the beam of light by the sound of the chime.

And with Chen Ziyang's continuous knocking, more and more souls escaped from the beam of light, a large number of souls scattered in all directions, these souls could not gather together, the color of the white beam of light became lighter and lighter, Also getting thinner.

Just like that, with Chen Ziyang's continuous tapping, the white beam of light above the ancient tree was finally completely broken.
