Chapter 265: Interrupt Me Kissing Your Senior Sister? Then You’ll Repay!
“This star map is closely linked to the Illusory Sound Treasure Box and the mechanism below it.”
Li Mo was also carefully sensing the zodiac star map above his head and said gently.
Fei Yan lowered her head, her eyes as dazzling as the stars corresponding with the star map above.
Looking at the treasure box in front of her, her fragrant lips parted, and she said softly, “Illusory Music Twelve, Five Tone Non-Music, Supreme Bliss Melody, Demonic Sound Thousandfold.”
“All music in the world is composed of five tones and twelve rhythms.”
“And each floor of this pavilion represents one tone among the five: Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, Yu.”
“And the twelve flying eaves correspond to the twelve rhythms.”
Fei Yan, being intelligent and insightful, quickly discerned the secrets of the treasure box.
The Moon Goddess also mused, “Senior Sister is right. Although we know the significance of the treasure box pavilion, how does it relate to this zodiac star map?”
After saying this, she instinctively looked at Li Mo.
Carefully she asked, “Does the National Teacher know?”
She originally just asked with a try-it-and-see attitude, but unexpectedly, Li Mo nodded his head slightly.
“Look at this stone room. Is there anything special?
Upon hearing this, the two women looked around and soon discovered something unusual.
Although the stone room was square-shaped, the upper and lower edges did not align.
The corner lines of the walls were staggered.
It looked like something a child built randomly.
“The Mohist school excels in construction, and the requirements for precise mechanisms are very strict, leaving no room for error. Yet, the corners of this stone room are staggered. Even an ordinary Mohist disciple would not make such a mistake.”
The Moon Goddess’s ethereal voice echoed in the stone room.
Although this woman had a strong sense of jealousy, she exuded a sense of mystery.
She was a type that had a very contrasting vibe.
Fei Yan continued the conversation, “It is probably built like this intentionally by the Mohist school, with the zodiac star map, the Illusory Sound Treasure Box, and the tilted corners.”
“These three things seem completely unrelated, but they share a common point, the art of the Five Elements!”
The zodiac stars are divided according to the Five Elements theory.
The musical tones also correspond to the Five Elements.
Upon hearing this, the Moon Goddess quickly understood.
Surveying the surrounding corners, she added, “The east of the Five Elements corresponds to wood, the west to gold, the south to fire, and the north to water.”
“This stone room’s misalignment is precisely to correspond to the four directions of the Five Elements.”
Her gaze suddenly landed on the stone pillar in front of her and continued, “This pavilion on the stone pillar represents the center, corresponding to earth.”
When the two women simultaneously looked at Li Mo.
Their eyes were filled with an intense surprise.
Without his reminder, they would not have discerned the significance so quickly.
“Why are you looking at me? Look at the star map!
”
Feeling a bit uneasy under their gazes, Li Mo pointed towards the star map above to divert their attention.
“If we were outside, we could rely on the sun, moon, and stars to judge directions. But in this enclosed stone room, determining the direction is not so easy.”
The Moon Goddess frowned lightly, showing a troubled expression.
Fei Yan, who was closely examining the star map, suddenly noticed something beyond the stars, her gaze falling on a mural above.
She quickly discerned its significance.
She reminded the Moon Goddess, “Look at the number of soldiers around the dragon in the mural.”
Surrounding the dragon was a ring of flames, and next to the flames were soldiers distributed in varying numbers.
The Moon Goddess’s eyes brightened, and she counted the soldiers: “Gold corresponds to seven, wood to three, and water to five. This clarifies the directions of east, south, west, and north.”
After saying this, she looked again at the Illusory Sound Treasure Box.
On each floor’s window of the treasure box, there were engraved characters.
“Huang Zhong, Da Lu, Gu Xie, Zhong Lu, these window inscriptions are names of musical rhythms.”
The women of the Yin-Yang school were not only powerful but also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
Both Fei Yan and the Moon Goddess had a profound understanding of music.
The Moon Goddess suddenly turned to look at Li Mo, as if wanting to say something but hesitated.
She had already thought of a way to break the code but didn’t dare to act without Li Mo’s permission.
Seeing him nod, she stepped forward.
He gently placed his hand on the attic of the Magic Sound Box and began to turn it.
“The star map has changed.”
The Moon Goddess attentively rotated the attic according to different melodies, while Fei Yan looked up at the star map for hints.
The positions of the stars are constantly changing every moment.
It takes at least five years for an astrologer to master the pattern of these changes.
For others, discerning the changing patterns of the star map might be extremely difficult.
But these two had extraordinarily high attainments in astrology.
The attic within the Magic Sound Box was constructed according to the Five Tones and Twelve Modes.
By matching different celestial attributes to rotate the attic, different music could be played.
Following Fei Yan’s narration, the Moon Goddess continuously turned the attic.
After several rotations, the box finally emitted a click.
A complete melody began to resonate in the stone room.
The surrounding scene suddenly changed at that moment.
The three found themselves as if they were in a sea of stars.
All around them, stars floated.
Each star was dazzling, splendid, like fireflies dancing in the night sky.
The three of them were immersed in the beautiful music and the magnificent environment.
Time seemed to stop at that moment.
Everything felt so serene and peaceful.
If it weren’t for Fei Yan and Li Mo hugging each other without realizing when, the Moon Goddess thought she could keep listening.
“You can take it down now.”
Feeling slightly jealous, the Moon Goddess suddenly closed the lid of the box.
The music abruptly ceased, and the surrounding stars disappeared instantly.
In an instant, the stone chamber returned to its original state.
The Moon Goddess tightly gripped the Magic Sound Box, glaring sideways at the two who were still reluctant to part.
At that moment, she finally felt somewhat redundant.
Fei Yan, who was about to kiss with her neck stretched and toes tiptoed, suddenly came to her senses and reluctantly stepped out of Li Mo’s embrace.
She glanced at the Moon Goddess with slightly flushed cheeks.
The Moon Goddess turned her head in jealousy.
Now you feel embarrassed?
If I hadn’t closed the box, you would have kissed him already!
Who would have thought that my seemingly dignified and virtuous senior sister could be so proactive?
“Let’s go up; Lord Yan Chun should be almost finished over there.”
Li Mo’s expression remained unchanged.
What’s wrong with my own wife giving me a kiss?
I hadn’t even mentioned your lack of awareness for interrupting us!
There was no doubt that the Moon Goddess had intentionally interrupted them just now.
I’ll remember this kiss; sooner or later, I’ll make you repay it.
One way or another, debts need to be settled!
