”What's going on? ”Does the young general really not want us to leave this place alive? Even if we unravel the traps, do he want us to bury me here?” Li He Yue asked in surprise.

I shook my head. ”You see, we did trigger a mechanism. However, within this mechanism, there is a link.”

After the secret room had caved in, a tall platform rose up, on top of it was a very exquisite wooden brocade box.

When the tremors had completely died down, we walked quietly to the central dais.

”Why does this thing look so familiar?” Li He Yue said.

Seeing the beauty of the wooden brocade box, it was definitely not some ordinary product, so he hurriedly opened it. I stretched out my hand to try, but the brocade box didn't budge at all.

”Let me do it, I'm good at this!”

Li He Yue's special ability finally found its use. She took out the small metal string from earlier, folded it a few times, and poked the wooden brocade box in its eye sockets. The brocade box opened up immediately.

After the wooden brocade box was opened, it gave birth to a five story tall tower. The entire tower was rotating, emitting beautiful music.

”It can't be. Thousands of years ago, there was this kind of craftsmanship. If this amazing music box was created, it would be worth a lot!”

”Don't even think about the worthless question from before. The problem now is how do I unlock the mechanism of this music box? Let's get out. ”

”AHH!” I finally know what this is. No wonder it looked so familiar! ” Li He Yue suddenly said.

”What is it? Have you seen this thing before? ”

”I've seen it in the records, this thing is called heavenly sound, it is said that it was left behind from the Paleogene, a treasure passed down in the world. Although I have read about it before, but I felt that such an exquisite treasure cannot exist in this world, I never thought that I would actually see something real today!”

Li He Yue's eyes lit up. She felt that this trip was worth it.

”Did the literature say how to solve this treasure box's secret?”

Li He Yue shook her head: ”No, this item is rare, and in the records, it only left a picture of a brocade box's hand drawing. It didn't have the state of being after opening the brocade box, which is why I couldn't see through it. It only said that this thing contained all the mysteries of ancient music. If anyone could understand this secret, it would be a shocking discovery. I don't know much about music, so I didn't study it. ”

I took a closer look at the tower in front of me and discovered that in addition to a total of five levels, there were twelve small windows on each level. Each level was moving in a different direction at a different speed, and each of the small windows were opening and closing.

”Fifty stories high tower, twelve small windows. Could it be that this contains the Five Tones and Twelve Laws?” I blurted out.

”I really didn't notice. You actually know the five notes and the twelve moves? You've studied music?”

”Does everyone who has gone to school know a bit of music? Have you not learned it? ”

Li He Yue shook her head. ”I've never gone to school.”

What? He actually never went to school? Then any knowledge he has is self-taught?

”Oh, so that's how it is. I said, your way of thinking seems like an illiterate person. I don't even have the nerve to ask.” I took the opportunity to tease him. Unexpectedly, the other party's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

”Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose.”

As if I had poked the other party's sore spot, I was extremely regretful. I was only joking with you, don't mind me!

Li He Yue's complexion changed. She finally forced an ugly smile and said, ”I don't understand music at all. Since you have studied it before, come and study it!”

I didn't expect him to have such a reaction. I never asked, how did his childhood come about? What I didn't expect was that he hadn't attended school at all. Was he an orphan?

”If you really want to understand it from a musical point of view, then it's very easy. Listen to this song, it's in a five tone style. We'll arrange the corresponding notes for this song, like the fifth floor of the tower and the twelve small windows, in order.”

Even though it sounds simple, I only have a basic understanding of music and haven't reached the stage of proficiency. Thus, my control of music is extremely difficult.

In ancient times, people revered zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. For modern people, these things were no longer able to keep up with the pace of social development. Very few people studied them.
