Yasakani no Magatama, the Eight-foot Mirror, and the Kusanagi sword that killed the Yamata no Orochi.

"So, could this be related to the sun?" Yuan Tai blinked as he looked at the sun pattern painted on the stone mirror. "The sun is always burning?"

"Then is the word 'Yan' engraved on the curved jade you found?" Duishalina, who was standing aside, heard Yuantai's words and spoke slowly, with a hint of confidence in his tone.

"Well, yes." Quan Yi smiled and handed the stone jade pendant in his hand to Conan. Conan took it and smiled and said, "That's the correct answer, big sister."

"But I still don't understand," Sudo Yunzo, who had been squatting nearby, stood up and frowned slightly, "What do '永' and '炎' mean?"

"Should we embed these stones somewhere in this tomb and trigger some mechanism? Then the Nioh Stone, that is, the diamond, will come out." Mitsuhiko looked back at the stone tablet, his tone became more and more excited, and finally he became excited all over.

"Why do you think so?" Ayumi was very confused, "There's nothing here?"

"Have you forgotten the words written on the stone lantern?" Mitsuhiko's eyes lit up. "It says that where the diamond is, it's a lively place where many elderly people gather."

"...You don't think this is the so-called 'place where all the elders gather for ultimate prosperity', do you?" Quan Yi smiled helplessly. "Is this what you think of as 'elders'?"

"No, I think the place where many old people gather is not this place," Conan frowned, "because when Sanshui Kichiemon died, there was no one here, let alone old people. What's more," Conan glanced around and smiled bitterly, "these dead people should all be treasure hunters at that time, right?"

"Yes, they were just foolish, pitiful people who were blinded by desire, lost their way, and eventually died of old age here." Quan Yi said calmly, "As long as we solve the problem of Shenghua Land, the treasure will naturally be found."

Having said that, Quan Yi glanced at the old lady beside him again.

"However, before that, it seems we have to find another sacred artifact to solve the mystery." Sudo Yunzo narrowed his eyes and said.

"That's right." Conan also chuckled, "The Eight-foot Mirror, the Yasakani no Magatama, and the most important, the Kusanagi Sword."

"Kusanagi Sword?!" Genta and others suddenly widened their eyes, for no other reason than that Kusanagi Sword was too famous.

Legend has it that when Susanoo slew the Yamata no Orochi, he retrieved the divine sword, the Kusanagi sword, from the snake's tail. However, for children, the Kusanagi sword is the powerful artifact they often encounter in games.

Wait! Conan suddenly realized a question. If the Kusanagi sword was taken out from the tail of the Yamata no Orochi, then where is it now?

In whose hands is it, or is it hidden in some unknown place?

The former is still easy to deal with. At most, he can investigate openly and secretly, and the flaw will be revealed sooner or later. But if it is the latter, with Kichiemon Sanmizu's mysterious character, he might really hide this stone Kusanagi sword as it is.

But where can we find a Yamata no Orochi?

"If we could see the words engraved on the sword, we should be able to find out the reason." Duishalina half-knelt in front of the stone tablet and said thoughtfully.

"Hmph, before that, maybe you should think about how to get out of this dungeon-like place?" The old lady named Senju said with a hint of disdain, pouring cold water on them.

Conan the Daring One

"If I tell others, I think you would know more about it, right?" Duisharina stood up and smiled slightly at the back, "If you hadn't come here once and seen the words on the tombstone, you wouldn't have hidden that mirror like a treasure for so long." The person she was talking to was Sudo Yunzo.

"Okay." Seeing everyone looking at him, Sudo Yunzo shook his head helplessly, "Let me lead the way."

"That's the best." Quan Yi shrugged and smiled lightly.

After following Sudo Yunzo for a while, everyone slowly entered the depths of the basement.

"This house is really big." Conan sighed as he walked, "To be honest, I almost forgot we are in a house."

"It's very damp down here, and the ground is so wet it looks like water has seeped in. It doesn't feel like a basement at all," Quan Yi said.

"That's because there is indeed water." Sudo Yunzo interrupted and said, "Because of the earthquake a few days ago, the house was shaken crooked, and groundwater seeped in, so it's so wet here."

"Isn't that just as Sanshui Kichiemon said," the old lady Senju beside her smiled sinisterly, "Nio is angry. He told us not to look for any more treasures and to go back quickly."

After turning a few more corners, the sound of the waterfall became more and more obvious. Suddenly, Yuan Tai's exclamation in front of us suddenly made everyone startled.

"Wow!" Looking at the mist in front of him, Yuan Tai stood in the inexplicably thick fog, and everyone could only see his back. "This is really... spectacular!" Lu

Conan and the others also walked forward quickly. After they passed through the thick fog with a faint heat, everyone opened their mouths wide.

What appeared before everyone was a wide stone cave. In the center of the cave was a huge pool of water, the water was emitting hot steam, and it looked like a large hot spring. However, the most surprising thing for everyone was not this.

On the stone wall above the cave, eight reddish-brown jets of water gushed out from one of the holes, also emitting a hazy stream of hot steam. It looked spectacular. If one hadn't seen it with one's own eyes, one would never have guessed that this was actually the basement of a house.

"This place is actually a hot spring?" Duishalina was also a little surprised and asked casually.

"It must have been dug by Kichiemon back then." Sudo Yunzo nodded, then walked slowly around the other end. "Kichiemon probably wanted to use this heat to cover up the real exit."

"This hot spring... is red?" Ayumi looked at the red spring water below curiously and couldn't help asking.

"Maybe it's because the hot springs contain a lot of iron." Ai smiled softly when she heard Ayumi's words and said, "The hot springs here should all be drawn from groundwater. There might be iron mines nearby."

Quan Yi didn't care about these things. He looked carefully at the direction where the eight springs converged, and then walked straight in that direction. No one noticed that old lady Senju smiled helplessly.

At the same time, Conan also walked over there.

"Hey! Little devil!" Seeing this, old lady Senju shouted immediately. For some reason, there was a hint of excitement in her tone, "The exit is not over there!"

Conan turned a deaf ear to it, and Quan Yi shrugged without even turning his head. The two walked all the way to the end of the hot spring before stopping.

"Conan." Izumi smiled, "Do you know where the Kusanagi sword came from?"

"Amaterasu's brother Sukanumaru defeated the snake in order to save Princess Kiinada. From the severed tail of the Yamata no Orochi came out the sword of the sky, which was later called the Kusanagi sword." Conan said.

"Legend has it that the Yamata no Orochi's eyes are like ghost lights, and there's blood in its belly. Although it's one body, it has eight heads." Quan Yi narrowed his eyes. "Today, we'll probably be the warriors who slay the snake."

"Brother Quanyi, what do you mean..." The children who rushed over after hearing the news looked at Quanyi in confusion, only Xiaoai showed a hint of understanding.

"Look at the confluence of the waterfalls." Conan pointed to the eight endless streams of water in front of him, as well as the hole that was constantly spewing out red hot water. "From this angle, does it look like the legendary Yamata no Orochi?"

Everyone stared at it for a long time before they suddenly realized that in the misty hot air and the roaring sound of the springs hitting the stone walls, these eight waterfalls really seemed like the legendary eight-headed evil dragons, roaring madly in the clouds.

"That's right." Quan Yi nodded. "The direction of the waterfall is its head, and the tributary is its tail."

"So, the Kusanagi sword is in a tributary of the waterfall?" Mitsuhiko's eyes suddenly widened.

"The Yamata no Orochi has eight tails, and the Kusanagi sword is said to be in the middle tail." Conan lifted his chin, "In other words..."

"Do you want to dive into the hot spring?" Sudo Yunzo and Daisarina, who were leading the way in front, also came back and couldn't help but speak after hearing Conan's words.

"Don't go, don't go. There won't be anything." The old lady spoke again, causing Quan Yi to roll his eyes.

"There is no need to dive," Quan Yi smiled slightly, "Since the tributary is here, it means that there must be a switch nearby to help us create a path..." As he spoke, Quan Yi pressed hard on the wall beside him, and the next moment, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked.

A loud rumbling sound was heard, and then, under the astonished gaze of everyone, a stone path slowly emerged from the pool. Then, the water level of the reddish-brown hot spring water in the pool slowly dropped, and then, a deep dark passage was revealed.

"That's it." Quan Yi turned his head and smiled.

Sudo Yunzo and Daisarina's expressions were slightly grim.

Everyone walked down the dark tunnel, and after a while, the view in front of them suddenly became clear.

In front of him was a wide cave, large enough to accommodate a group of adventurers. In the center of the cave, on a stone platform, a sword was quietly inserted.

The sword body is about two feet long. The shape of the sword is different from that of an ordinary katana. The hilt is thicker and has many convex and concave parts. It looks a bit like a fish spine. Although it is not smooth, from a distance, it is exactly the same as the legendary Kusanagi sword.

"That's mine!" The moment the old lady saw the Kusanagi sword, her eyes widened and she ran towards the stone platform like crazy. But the moment her feet stepped on the floor in front of the stone platform, a cold light suddenly flashed from the front, only a few centimeters away from the old lady's head. The whistling wind almost blew off the old lady's hat, and she was so scared that she sat down on the ground.

Quan Yi smiled.

·· ·······Request flowers····· ·····

"Flying axe?" Looking at the flash of cold light, Conan's pupils shrank slightly.

"There's more than one," said Xiao Ai, who was watching from the side. "There's a flying axe in each of the four directions."

"As expected, old lady, you want the treasure too, right?" Duishalina looked at the old lady's appearance and said with disdainful curl of his lips.

"However, this is a really troublesome mechanism," Mitsuhiko said. "It seems that if you try to get closer to the sword, the weight of the floor will increase, and flying axes will be activated to attack from all directions."

"That guy called Weimon, he just doesn't want anyone to get the treasure." Genta looked at the hidden weapons coming from all directions and immediately lost his temper. Who could possibly get past these things? If you weren't careful, you could be chopped into pieces. And judging from the sound and feel just now, the sharpness of these mechanisms was terrifying.

"No," Quan Yi smiled and patted Conan's shoulder, "Go and demonstrate it to them."

"Why me..." Conan rolled his eyes, but still walked up obediently.

.. 0 0

"Eh?" Genta and Mitsuhiko were about to say something, but they saw Conan slowly walk forward and step directly on the floor in front of him without any care.

The next moment, the flying axe turned into a cold light again and attacked Conan's head directly!

"Hey!" Genta and Mitsuhiko were shocked and screamed suddenly. The two treasure hunters next to them also widened their eyes.

However, the next moment, a surprising situation occurred. Conan stood steadily in the middle of the floor. The whistling wind blew the black hair in front of his forehead, but his face was full of a confident smile. Countless swords and axes whistled past him, but he walked leisurely to the middle of the stone slab, but no flying axe touched him at all.

"Hats are coming from all directions." A flying blade streaked across Conan's face, less than five centimeters away. His voice remained unchanged. "And then it's coming back in all directions. This shows that this is the result of careful calculation. Kichiemon calculated it to avoid a collision."

"Besides..." Feeling the strong wind coming from the right, Conan closed his eyes confidently. The moment the flying axe came to him, he suddenly stretched out his right hand, and then, amid the exclamations of everyone, he grabbed the handle of the flying axe.

"There's even a handle on the side of the axe." Following the force of the axe, Conan lightly jumped to the stone platform where the sword stood. He turned back and smiled calmly, "Kichiemon's idea is obviously to let us borrow the axe to get through."

"Little boy, what's written on the sword?!" Sudo Yunzo and Daisaliina asked anxiously.

Conan squatted down and looked at the words engraved on the tip of the sword, frowning, "'Dragon'."

"'Dragon'?" Upon hearing this answer, Sudo Yunzo and Daisarina both fell into deep thought.

"'Eternal', 'Flame', 'Dragon'." Conan was also thinking about this question, "What does this mean?"

"Kichiemon is indeed his name. He must be trying to tell everyone that things are like being burned by dragon fire, leaving them with eternal troubles and pain, right?" The old lady said with a strange laugh, then turned around and said, "Okay, everyone, stop looking for treasure and go back. Maybe there was no treasure in the first place."

All to please your mother.

Conan returned the same way he had come, but he was still lost in thought.

Yong, Yan, Dragon...

And that sentence, 'Lost ones, offer the sacred artifact to me'... What does "offer to me" mean?

Offering... and me...

Offering to... me?

I?

"Who am I?" Conan murmured as he watched Sudo Kumozo and Daisariina shake their heads and turn away.

Suddenly, Conan looked at Quan Yi fiercely. The latter smiled, and Conan couldn't help but laugh too.

"So, Conan, have you discovered where the treasure is?" Yuan Tai looked at Conan excitedly, "You were laughing just now, so you must have known it, right?"

"No." Conan smiled, "That was a smile of shame and helplessness because I couldn't find the treasure."

"What?" Yuantai said dejectedly. Helplessly, he could only follow Sudo Yunzo and others and slowly walk out.

"Then I'll take my leave first." At a fork in the road, Duishalina said this to everyone and turned to leave.

"I plan to stay here and search a little longer." Sudo Yunzo seemed unwilling to give up. After hesitating for a while, he decided to search the house again. The old lady who used the pseudonym Senju also said she wanted to go home and left. Only Izumi and the children were left standing at the gate of the courtyard.

"Can you tell me now?" Conan clapped his hands and chuckled as he watched everyone leave. He looked at Quan Yi who was standing beside him and said, "Let's go."

"Where are we going?" Yuan Tai didn't react for a moment. "Aren't we still waiting for the police here?"

"Where else can we go?" Quan Yi smiled slightly, "Of course, we should go to find the treasure you have been waiting for for so long."

"Huh?!" Guangyan and the others were suddenly surprised and delighted, "Didn't you say... you don't know?"

"Idiot, those two were there at that time. What if we tell them and they go with us?" Conan rolled his eyes.

"Oh, that's right." Mitsuhiko nodded. "Then where is the treasure?"

"It's already written on the tombstone underground." Quan Yi smiled slightly, "'Lost, offer the artifact to me.' The lost naturally refers to the treasure hunters who got lost before, but offering the artifact to me is very interesting." At this point, Quan Yi smiled mysteriously, "Whose house is this?"

"Whose house is it?" Mitsuhiko asked with a hint of doubt. "It belongs to Sanmizu Kichiemon... So what?"

"Three waters, water." Conan chuckled, "Think about the three ⑨⑦ on the artifact.

What does the three characters "Yong", "Yan", and "Long" mean when you add water to them? "

"'Swimming', 'Light', 'Taki'." Xiao Ai said softly, "Is this the true meaning of this sentence?"

"That's right." Quan Yi shrugged. "If you think about it carefully, it will become clear."

"'Swimming', 'Dan' for fresh water, 'Taki' for waterfall." Conan narrowed his eyes. "The lost ones actually refer to those who haven't solved the code on the stone lantern. This is another hint from Sanshui Kichiemon."

"Those who unlock the stone lantern will naturally find the treasure. Those who don't unlock the lantern will need to find the three artifacts."

"No one can guess the code based on these words alone." Conan also laughed, "Both pieces of information must be combined to decipher the code."

"The place closest to the sun actually refers to the closest star to the sun in the solar system, Mercury." Conan continued, "The stone lantern says it's the place closest to the sun, where many elderly people gather and it's very lively. This is one of the meanings."

"The old man is referring to the carps with beards in the water, and the lively place is where there is the sound of gurgling water..." said Quan Yi.

"Combined with the three words just now, it's like this:" Conan summarized, "near the waterfall where there is fresh water and many carp swimming around, that's where the Nioh Stone is!"

"That...that's it!" Mitsuhiko's eyes widened suddenly when he heard this, and he looked around at the same time, "Is this where the treasure is?"

"The stream we...saw at the beginning?!" Yuan Tai also reacted, his face showing surprise, "Doesn't that mean!"
