“I understand, I seem to understand…”

At this moment, he saw an excited expression on Ah Can’s face, as if he had discovered some secret.

“What do you understand?” Ye Feng was also curious.

“There are marks on the four edges of this stone slab, and they are different in number.” Ah Can hurriedly explained to everyone.

Ye Feng walked over with his flashlight, and indeed, he found four small holes at the edge of the stone slab.

These four holes weren’t deep, so they were probably man-made.

Then, he walked to the other side and found that there were two small holes on this side, three on the other side, and one on the other side.

“What are these holes for?” Xu Jingxin asked a question that everyone was curious about.

“I wonder if you guys have played with a puzzle box before? This kind of puzzle box is made using traditional craftsmans.h.i.+p. There is no way to open the puzzle from the outside. Instead, you need to knock on the edge of the box a different number of times to open the box.”

Although Ah Can was asking everyone, he was only looking at Ye Feng.

He only cared about Ye Feng’s opinion, the others were insignificant.

“You mean that we only need to tap several times according to the holes on it to open this stone slab?” Ye Feng immediately understood what he meant.

“Mr. Ye is indeed extremely smart!” Ah Can couldn’t help but give him a thumbs up.

“Then what are we waiting for? Since we’ve found a way to open it, let’s hurry up and do it.” Ye Feng saw that this guy did not forget to flatter him at this time, he could not help but glare at him.

Ah Can smiled embarra.s.sedly. Then, he picked up a Luoyang shovel and walked over. According to the number of small holes marked on each edge, he knocked hard on the stone slab.

“Peng peng, peng peng…”

As he knocked, everyone’s hearts were on tenterhooks.

They were all looking forward to the moment when the stone tablet opened.

However, when Ah Can finished knocking, the scene of the stone slab opening did not appear.

The stone slab remained unmoved.

“That’s not right. How can that be?” Ah Can immediately fell into confusion. He called the four members of the Sky Wolf team to help push the stone slab.

Unfortunately, it was still futile.

Things seemed to have returned to square one.

“Ha, I was happy for nothing.” Fuuma Jianwu couldn’t help but mock him. Suddenly, she felt that her words had come at the wrong time. She was afraid that it would hurt Ah Can’s self-esteem.

She hurriedly stole a glance at him and realized that Ah Can was frowning and thinking hard, so he didn’t notice her words.

However, Fuuma Jianwu still blamed herself. She was done for. She was too immersed in her character and unknowingly, she had used Zhuang Xiaoqiao’s tone.

Fortunately, everyone was deep in thought and no one noticed.

Another half an hour pa.s.sed, but they still found nothing.

Even the King of Thieves couldn’t think of a way to open it, let alone the others.

Ye Feng looked at that stone slab and could not help but sigh.

After so much hard work, he had finally reached the final step.

Who knew that a stone slab would block his way?

Was he really going to return empty-handed this time?

Just as Ye Feng was frowning and pondering, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

He seemed to remember that there were some strange words on the map of Xiang King’s secret treasure. He wondered if it had anything to do with the method of opening the secret treasure.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out the fragments of Xiang King’s secret treasure map that he had recently made based on his memory. He asked Xu Jingxin to hold a flashlight for the light. Then, he pieced the fragments together.

Everyone looked at him curiously, not knowing what he was going to do.

Ah Can also came over at this time. “This is the complete Xiang King’s secret treasure map?”

On this map, there were four small words on the top, bottom, left, and right. Ye Feng thought that they were directions, so he did not pay much attention to them.

There was no other way now. He could only find the answer from this.

“What do you think the words on it mean?” Ye Feng looked at Ah Can with antic.i.p.ation.

Ah Can came closer to take a look. “They look like words, but I can’t recognize them.”

Ye Feng rolled his eyes. “You think I can’t tell that these are words?”

He couldn’t count on Ah Can, so he could only let the others take turns to identify the words.

Lan Xingyue and Fuuma Jianwu shook their heads one after another. The four members of the Sky Wolf Team were close to being illiterate and said that they could not recognize the words.

When Xu Jingxin read the words, she suddenly said, “It’s written in Chu from the Warring States Period.”

Ye Feng’s eyes lit up. “You can read the language of Chu?”

Xu Jingxin tucked her hair behind her ear. “Ever since I knew you were going to enter the Xiang King’s secret treasure, I thought you might need to know the ancient characters of Chu. I studied with an ancient language expert for a while, but I could only recognize some simple words.”

“How can you be so smart? Bringing you along was the right choice.”

Ye Feng was extremely excited, if it was not for the fact that there was someone else beside him, he would have hugged Xu Jingxin and kissed her.

Fortunately, he brought Xu Jingxin and not Zhuang Xiaoqiao. Otherwise, the woman would have asked, “You’re asking me, who should I ask?”

Xu Jingxin’s face blushed slightly at his praise.

Fortunately, the surrounding light was rather dim, so no one should have seen it, right?

“Then quickly take a look. What do these words say?” Ye Feng quickly pushed Xiang King’s secret treasure map in front of her.

Xu Jingxin stared at the map of the Xiang King’s secret treasure for a long time. “The words on the top are ‘The Proud Dragon Has Repentance,’ the words on the bottom are ‘Or Leap in the Abyss,’ the words on the left are ‘The Yellow Robe is Lucky,’ and the words on the right are ‘No Blame, No Fame.’”

After she finished speaking, she raised her head to look at the crowd and realized that everyone was staring at her with their mouths agape.

“Why are you all looking at me like that?” Xu Jingxin felt a little scared when she was stared at by so many pairs of eyes.

“Is this what you meant when you said that you could only understand some simple words?” Ah Can asked what everyone was thinking.

To be able to recognize so many words just by learning at the last minute, she could only be described as a “genius,” right?

Xu Jingxin only smiled and did not explain.

She had been a genius since she was young and was already used to it.

“Although we know what these words are, what do they mean?” Lan Xingyue raised another question.

Everyone fell silent again.

It was not enough to just recognize these words. They had to figure out the meaning behind these words.

“I know. The words on it are all from lines in the Book of Changes. The top and bottom lines are from the Qian hexagram, and the left and right lines are from the Kun hexagram.”

Fuuma Jianwu suddenly interjected at this moment, she looked at Ye Feng with a smug expression as if she was saying, “Master, praise me.”

Ye Feng gave a fake smile. “Show off. Who didn’t know that this was in the Book of Changes? The key is, what is the meaning behind it?”

Fuuma Jianwu immediately pouted.

It was already good enough for her to know that these lines came from the Book of Changes. How could she know the meaning behind them?

Just as everyone saw a glimmer of hope, they encountered another difficult problem they had to solve.
