646 Fear
“Then, we checked it through the instrument and found that it was solid. It felt very round, as if it was cut by a modern machine. In ancient times, there was no such technology. I don’t know how it was made. This is the second suspicious point.”
“Moreover, there are cracks on this ball. At first, I thought it was a rotten crack, but when I studied it, I realized that there were no signs of decay on this wood at all. That crack is the secret. It looks like it can be opened like a mortise, but I don’t know how to open it. I can’t find any switch. This is the last suspicious point.”
At this point, Expert Chu stopped and looked at Ye Xuan expectantly. He seemed to have always wanted to solve this secret and figure out what was going on.
It was just like how when people saw a magical trick, they would think about how the magician did it, but they would give up because they couldn’t understand it. However, Expert Chu had this opportunity to continue researching and wait until he cracked it, so he had been looking forward to it.
After Ye Xuan’s magical explanation yesterday, he was very excited. In fact, every time the various experts and professors discovered a cultural relic that they didn’t understand, they would hold a meeting to discuss what this thing was. Many of the cultural relics were understood in the discussion, but there were also many things that they didn’t understand that no one knew. All the archeological experts and professors didn’t understand what it was, such as this ball made of wood.
However, although he had yesterday’s experience, Expert Chu was still not sure if Ye Xuan knew this. He was still very worried, but at the same time, he was looking forward to it.
“Well…”
Ye Xuan said at this moment and reached out to take the fist-sized wooden ball. He placed it in his hand and looked at it. This silent look of contemplation made Expert Chu, the other four experts, and Ninth Sister Ye Xue very nervous, afraid that Ye Xuan would say, “I don’t know either. I’ve never seen it before.”
Fortunately, Ye Xuan immediately gave an answer after a while.
“This is called ‘Non-Attack’. When it comes to ‘Non-Attack’, you should know who it is, right? However, this thing was not made by Mo Zi. It was made by one of his disciples. I don’t remember his name. It’s said that he spent his entire life making such a peerless work. This was the only thing he brought with him when he was buried. He spent his life promoting the Mo family’s thoughts. This thing can be considered the crystallization of all his thoughts.”
When they heard Ye Xuan’s words, everyone’s expressions grew tense. They were indeed shocked. It was too shocking.
Although Mo Zi’s disciple was famous in history, it was not recorded in detail, let alone his tomb.
However, Ye Xuan could actually recognize this point and even knew about this disciple’s work that was based on “Non-Attack”. Wasn’t he a little too knowledgeable? It really refreshed their world view.
Although they were shocked, the experts were still mentally prepared. After all, after the shocking incident yesterday, everyone placed Ye Xuan in a high position in their hearts.
Hence, after a short shock, they recovered. Then, Expert Chu looked at Ye Xuan and continued,
“I didn’t expect it to be the tomb of Mo Zi’s disciple. This disciple’s faith is really amazing. Even until his death, he integrated the Mo family’s thoughts into a peerless work. I really admire him. Then, Little Friend Ye, where do you think the mechanism of this ball is?”
Ye Xuan spun the ball a few times and found a spot. He placed it on the corner of the table and knocked it a few times.
This really scared the experts. They were afraid that Ye Xuan would break this thing.
Fortunately, his Ninth Sister Ye Xue gave them a look to show that she trusted Ye Xuan. Only then did they calm down.
After Ye Xuan knocked it a few times, he saw that the part of the ball which had been hit against the table had caved in. It was not the kind of dent that appeared after it was smashed. Instead, a shape had appeared in a very orderly manner, and a part had protruded from the other side.
It proved that it was solid.
Then, Ye Xuan pushed the protruding piece back. The strange thing was that this time, the dented piece on the other side did not rebound. Instead, another two sides protruded at the same time. Then, a magical scene appeared.
Ye Xuan used both hands to grab the two pieces of regular wood that protruded from both sides at the same time and twisted them in different directions at the same time. After twisting them by about 180 degrees, he heard a soft click, just like when one got the password of a safe correct.
Then, the ball immediately bulged out. The moment the cracking sound sounded, wood pieces protruded from all over the ball.
As for the protruding pieces of wood, it made the entire ball look more like a box, a password box that was specially used to store things.
This was because there was a small ball in the middle of the ball. It was about the size of a grape and looked a little like the core of the ball. It looked ordinary.
When the experts saw this scene, they were especially nervous and excited. They felt their hearts jump to their throats as they stared intently at the small ball.
Ye Xuan looked at everyone and nodded, indicating that he wanted to reach out to take it. After everyone nodded in agreement, he reached in and took out the ball.
After all, this kind of thing was quite important. It had to be authorized by the experts and could not be done recklessly. Otherwise, it would be a big problem if it was broken. However, Ye Xuan was not afraid. After all, he knew what this ball was and naturally would not be afraid of things he understood.
This small ball was far less exquisite than the big ball outside. Although it was round, the patterns on it were too obvious. It was a crack in the middle. The top and bottom parts didn’t fit perfectly and it was very rough.
It looked like it wasn’t so exquisite because the maker didn’t have time. Ye Xuan didn’t know the exact reason and couldn’t understand why.
However, that was not important. What was important was what secret this small ball was hiding.
Initially, Ye Xuan didn’t know. He only knew that Mo Zi’s eldest disciple had made a ball to accompany him. He didn’t know the method to open the ball.
It was only after such an experience that he realized that there was actually a small ball in this ball. It looked like a password box.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan searched around the ball. After a while, he found an abrupt square area. Then, he tried to press on the square area. The ball seemed to have a spring and the lid was instantly lifted.
