The wooden box in front of me can only be described as a masterpiece of craftsmanship. Although it is a box, there is not a single gap in its entirety, as if it was originally a single piece!

Moreover, at the very top of the box, there is a round piece of jade with some strange characters engraved on it.

"Buzz!"

Just as Murong Jiu finished speaking, the jade on the box suddenly burst out with a bright light!

It's a blue light!

After the light appeared, almost the entire underground space was bathed in blue light!

Moreover, characters actually appeared in the air!

These characters seem to be the very words carved on that jade!

Moreover, these characters are constantly changing!

Seeing this, Jia Daoshi was amazed!

What is the principle of this?

At the same time, a voice seemed to appear in everyone's ears!

The sound was like a great bell, a beautiful melody!

But it only happened in an instant!

"I remember now, Father Emperor once said that there is a great secret inside this Illusionary Sound Box!"

"If the chanting inside is heard by someone with the right destiny, it will enhance their cultivation and improve their skills."

"Those who are not destined to be together will eventually go mad!"

"Furthermore, if we were to actually open this treasure box, there lies immense danger inside!"

Murong Jiu's voice came out involuntarily!

In other words, she had no idea what she was saying.

But, the next second.

The jade tabletop on which the treasure box was placed suddenly made a cracking sound!

Then, the entire jade tabletop slowly descended!

Jia Daoshi frowned and stepped forward to take the box.

But when I tried to lift it, I couldn't move it!

This box looks like it was originally grown on top!

If he used his true energy, Jia Daoshi couldn't guarantee that he could remove the box intact!

As the jade tabletop sank deeper and deeper, the women began to get anxious!

"What's going on? Why can't I get it off?"

"It can actually sink? Where is it going to sink to? Is there some space down there?"

After pondering for a moment, Jia Daoshi said, "This should be the chain mechanism technique of the Drywood Sect."

"It would be a problem if it sank completely underground; we have to remove it before it reaches the bottom!"

Weng Changting's expression was also somewhat solemn, because according to the style of the Kumu Sect's chain of traps, if the place where the treasure was kept was discovered by an intruder, the most likely trap to be used would be to destroy everything in its path!

Weng Changting thought for a moment, then looked up at the ceiling: "The solution might be hidden up there."

Jia Daoshi also raised his head, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"The murals above?" Yi Qianxiao asked, puzzled.

Since arriving on the island, I have encountered many murals.

These murals do indeed contain some hidden information.

But is this also related to the mechanism in front of us?

"and many more!"

Jia Daoshi hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and unleashed a burst of Dragon Elephant True Qi!

"boom!"

The pure dragon and elephant true energy poured out and landed on the mural above!

The next second, a tiny bit of golden light suddenly burst forth from the dragon's eyes!

Two golden beams of light, like two pillars of light, fell directly onto the treasure box on the jade tabletop!

"Those dragon eyes are actually two gemstones!" Ji Bingyan exclaimed in surprise!

Perhaps because it had been in this underground space for too long, the gemstone was covered in dust, and I hadn't noticed it just now!

At that moment, the two beams of light fell on the box on the jade tabletop like laser beams!

A moment later, the Illusionary Sound Box suddenly shone brightly, and an even stronger blue light burst forth from the jade on its surface!

Then, a dazzling light screen appeared before everyone's eyes!

"This...is so beautiful!" Murong Jiu's face showed a look of infatuation!

Not only her, but all the other women were also somewhat captivated!

Because this scene is truly beautiful!

It was like a starry sky suddenly appearing in the surrounding darkness!

"Is this the starry sky?" Di Qinglin asked subconsciously.

"This is a star map."

Jia Daoshi and Weng Changting said almost in unison.

"It seems that this star map contains the key to unlocking the mechanisms!" Jia Daoshi narrowed his eyes.

The star chart in front of me has the twelve zodiac signs and seventy-two constellations, and it looks magnificent!

The founders of the Drywood Sect were truly extraordinary; they were able to create such a mechanism!

At this moment, Weng Changting's beautiful eyes were also dazzling!

They are as beautiful as the twinkling stars in a star chart!

“This star map contains the essence of an array.” Weng Changting looked at the star map in front of her and said softly, “Look at the positions of the star palaces on these star maps, and the patterns on the jade platform. You can find the corresponding points of light! However, it seems that something is still missing…”

As the young master of the Drywood Sect, she knew a little about its intricacies and quickly figured out the secret.

"I can't tell, my lord, can you tell?" Murong Jiu asked in a low voice.

Jia Daoshi squinted, glanced at the jade tabletop, and then began to look around the entire stone chamber!

He quickly realized something was wrong!

On one wall of the stone chamber, there is a spot that is extremely uneven.

The mechanical arts of the Drywood School have always been incredibly smooth and fluid.

The mechanisms are designed with meticulous precision, not only in metal but also in earthen and stone structures. Such uneven walls are extremely rare and precious.

This can be considered a major flaw in the design of the mechanism!

Those who came here to build were all founders of the Drywood Sect. How could they possibly make such a basic mistake?

Following Jia Daoshi's gaze, Weng Changting's eyes also fell on that spot.

“Strange, that place…” As he spoke, Weng Changting slowly walked over, “This design must have been intentionally created by our sect’s founder. The Azure Dragon mural, the jade tabletop, the treasure box—this unevenness seems unrelated at first glance, but you can still see the connection between them!”

As he spoke, Weng Changting slammed his palm onto the uneven stone wall!

"boom!"

The next second, the stone wall became smooth and flat!

Then, on the jade platform where the Illusionary Sound Box was placed, neatly arranged small cubes slowly rose up!

"This...that's right, it's the location of the twelve zodiac signs!" Weng Changting suddenly turned around and looked!

“The star map is changing!” Di Qinglin said softly.

The stars in the sky may appear to be stationary, but they are constantly in motion.

The high priest of the Great Jing Dynasty devoted his entire life to studying the changes in celestial phenomena in order to divine and predict future changes!

It takes at least ten years for an ordinary priest to even begin to learn the basics!

For ordinary people, the starry sky is just the starry sky, nothing special.

But for a genius girl like Weng Changting, the positions of the constellations were already second nature to her!

By pressing the small squares on the jade platform according to the changes in the constellation, you can solve this puzzle!
