"The material of the carpet is very good, but it still can't hide its age. It means it was left many years ago. No one has replaced it with a new one. There are square indentations on it, probably from display cabinets or something like that..."
"However, on the four walls, the shades of brown are inconsistent. In the lighter areas, you can roughly see three squares of different sizes. There were paintings hanging on the wall originally, and they have been hanging for a long time..."
"This should be an exhibition room..."
"In addition, where the carpet is against the corner, there are traces of artificial cutting on the edge, and there are red fibers in the golden edge of the corner. The carpet here should have been pressed directly to the lower corner of the wall during decoration, but it was later removed.
People cut it open and lifted it up to see..."
"Judging from the edges of the cuts, the cuts were made at least ten years ago. Considering that the carpet material is better, the changes caused by time will be appropriately mitigated. The cuts were made at least twenty years ago, or even earlier.
Before, it was impossible to tell which owner of the Dusk House did it, or who else did it."
"Has that thing been taken away?" Fei Chi asked.
"Not sure."
Chi Feichi walked to the south wall and walked along it, observing it while gently wiping it with his gloved right hand.
There is nothing special and no mechanism...
Could it be that he was looking in the wrong place?
No, over the years, the House of Dusk has gone through many owners. Many of those people bought the place because they wanted to find some treasure left by Renya Karasuma, even if the interior of the house was not changed.
The layout of the Twilight Pavilion will definitely be overhauled. If the mechanism was as simple as being on the wall, I'm afraid it would have been discovered long ago...
Huh? Wait, if the successive owners try to keep the furnishings in the House of Dusk as they are in order to find treasures, it is unlikely that the things here will be moved away.
After Karasuma Renya's death, the things here were moved out, but for some reason, the things were not moved back?
Or... this room had already been vacated before Karasuma Renya passed away?
if the latter one……
Why vacate the room?
In an empty room, you can tell whether there is wealth or not at a glance.
This is the first psychological tactic.
It makes people feel that there is nothing good here, and they won't be patient enough to look for it.
Secondly, the dark red carpet and white crystal lamp in the room are too conspicuous and attract attention. It seems that the carpet and crystal lamp have been touched.
This is the second psychological tactic.
Even if someone suspects that this is a conspiracy, if they check the more conspicuous carpets and crystal lamps with hope, plus the surrounding walls, and find that there are no special things or mechanisms, they will be disappointed and think that they are thinking.
too much.
At least for now, it seems that the psychological tactics are successful. The previous owners of the house seem to have never thought of placing a camera in this empty room.
Then, what you really want to hide should be in an inconspicuous place...
Chi Feichi glanced around and paused at the ventilation window, "It's really... quite boring."
"Huh?" Fei Chi became more energetic, "Master, do you know where the things are?"
"The reminder actually has two meanings. One is the national emblem, and the other is light." Chi Feichi looked at the ventilation window, "The sun, moon, and stars all have light. If you want to find the Star Orb hidden in the jungle, you also need light.
There are many ways to say light in English, light, ray, beam...light is generally used on light sources. Sunlight, moonlight and starlight all use light. Ray means radiating out, such as x-ray.
x-ray, and beam generally refers to the beam of light..."
Fei Chi continued to think, thought about failure, and chose to give up, "Which one is it? Light?"
"No, the jewelry itself does not emit light. Even the luminous pearl needs to absorb enough light. What we are looking for is the orb, not the sun, moon and stars, so the light source is eliminated and it is not light." Chi Feichi said softly.
, "Secondly, the lights will sometimes go out due to power outages. The only light that will always exist is the light from nature. This room is the only place where natural light can be cast..."
Fei Chi looked at the row of ventilation windows.
Chi Feichi continued, "That window has a fence. If there is light coming in, it must be a beam of light. It will not be a ray extending radially, but a beam with the meaning of a beam of light."
In addition, the ventilation window is on the right side of the south wall, that is, in the west. Only when the sun sets, the sunlight will shine in as a beam of light. It also fits the name of the "Twilight Pavilion", so the room should be found correctly.
"Well... if the light beam is projected from the outside, it will eventually fall on..." Feichi turned his head silently and looked at the south wall, "Master, in the end it turned back to the south wall..."
"No, beam also means beams," Chi Feichi looked up at the ceiling, "Generally speaking, it is unlikely that beams will be exposed in this kind of building, but the location of the beams in this room is easy to find."
It's really easy to find. The ceiling of this room is made of wood. Although the other parts are flush with the beam and painted with the same color of wood paint, the other parts are made of scattered wooden boards, with only the beam running from one end to the other.
"Is it in the beam?" Fei Chi looked up.
"The beam is too long, and it is difficult to determine where it is, and no one may notice the beam. It is not on the beam. The ventilation window in this room is very high. Connect the light beam that can be cast on the south wall to the beam, and it is a
For a standard square," Chi Feichi took out a telescopic stick from his coat pocket. After stretching it, he used the telescopic stick to draw across the ceiling. "Draw a five-pointed star in the square, five points that intersect with the square...
"
"Click... click... click..."
When the stick falls on five landing points, some of the sounds it makes are crisper and some are duller, but the difference is very small. If you don't listen carefully, it is difficult to hear the difference.
After knocking on five points, there was no movement.
Chi Feichi was not surprised. He knocked again in order from crisp to dull.
If it doesn't work, try the other way around...
Feichi watched silently, with some emotion in his heart.
Alas, human beings are so complicated. Can’t we just tell you where something is and how to get it...
As the last point fell, a slight clicking sound came from the south wall in front.
A drawer-like grid extends from the south wall near the floor.
Inside is a pure black...
Kendama?
Chi Feichi: "..."
The person who said it was a "little thing, very interesting" was really not lying...
Feichi couldn't wait to ask, "Master, is this some kind of valuable treasure?"
"In France in the 11th century, there was a game called Bill Boquet, which means cup and ball. In the Edo period, that is, the beginning of the 17th century, it was spread to Japan as an after-dinner entertainment activity," Chi Feichi knelt down and picked up the game.
When I picked up the kendama, I discovered that there was a round black sign underneath. I didn’t rush to look at it, but looked at the kendama. “During the Taisho period in 1918, the Japanese reformed the appearance. This is the finished product after the reform. It was
It's called 'kendama', it's an entertainment sport, this thing... is pretty awesome to play."
Fei Chi was a little confused, "Is it a toy?"
After solving the puzzle for a long time, what I found was a toy... Is this a bad joke?
Chi Feichi was surprised when he first saw it, but he soon felt relieved.
No matter what it was, since it was given to him, he just accepted it.
The kendama is made of wood and is completely black. The sword ball, the handle of the sword body, and the inside of the dish are all engraved with crow patterns.
It’s not a simple family emblem, but crows in various forms.
A flying crow, a crow sitting on a branch, a swooping crow, two crows playing together... Each one is carved very small, but they are all lifelike.
As for kendama, this kind of kendama with too many carvings will affect the balance of the sword ball and make it difficult to catch the ball. It will definitely not pass the competition, but it can be used as a piece of art or a toy, and it is very useful for collection.
value.
And it’s not that it can’t be played, it just doesn’t meet the ‘standard specifications’.
Kendama once had a prosperous period in Japan, but as more and more entertainment methods enter people's attention, the popularity is slowly fading.
To this day, although there are still kendama associations and kendama competitions in Japan, they are very unpopular. In the eyes of many people, this is an outdated traditional entertainment, and many children and young people have not been exposed to it.
It will probably take a few more years... No, forget it, he doesn't know how long it will take. Kendama will become more popular internationally and slowly enter other countries. But even the one before his death in his previous life
For a while, there weren't many people playing kendama around, so it was far from being 'popular'.
He had played it in his previous life, and judging from his memory, his original consciousness had also played it for two years.
In fact, this can be regarded as an extreme sport, a sport that can challenge one's own limits. It not only tests the body and spine, but also tempers the mind. It also exercises patience and concentration. A person must be able to endure loneliness and practice and challenge repeatedly.
When Fei Chi saw Chi Fei Chi squatting, it was not high from the ground, he simply retracted his head, slipped out of his sleeves, and fell on the carpet, comforting Chi Fei Chi, "Forget it, Master, actually the toy is not bad..."
“Really good.”
Chi Feichi gently lifted the sword blade, and the rope pulled the kendama to fly up. After flipping the bowl in his hand, it landed in a large dish with a crisp sound, and was bounced up again by a slight force.
At the same time, Chi Feichi flipped the sword body again, and when the kendama fell, it landed on the middle plate again.
After that, there is Xiao Pan, the tip of the sword...
When the sword ball landed on the tip of the sword, it slipped. The hole did not penetrate the tip of the sword, but slipped down.
"I haven't played for a long time and my hand is raw." Chi Feichi paused and started again.
Big dish, medium dish, small dish, sword tip...
Fei Chi stood up, listened to the crisp 'dong dong' sound, and stared directly at the sword balls beating around the sword body, and also at Chi Feichi's deftly flipping hands, his snake eyes glowing with coldness.
of dim light.
Master 666……
This toy is so fun...
Want to play.
One minute later...
Chi Feichi got familiar with catching the ball with the tip of the sword, and then repeatedly used the big and small dishes to catch the ball, and continued "dong dong dong".
Fei Chi waited patiently.
five minutes later……
Chi Feichi changed his jade-holding gesture and continued "dong dong dong".
Feichi: "..."
ten minutes later……
Chi Feichi continued to try to use the sword ball to catch the sword body in reverse. He made a mistake, tried again, made a mistake, and tried again.
This thing is really good, just like the yo-yo that was popular in China in the previous life. When you can complete a trick that you couldn't complete before, you will have a sense of joy and accomplishment of breaking through yourself.
In addition, when playing games such as "Xiaxiaole", the same mentality is actually used. After passing a level, if you fail, you have to start over and try again and again to figure out the secret to passing the level.
Once you pass a level that you couldn't pass before and reach a new record, you will gain a sense of accomplishment, and you can't help but set the next breakthrough goal and make a breakthrough.
Feichi: "..."
Can you take a look at it? It has been waiting for a long time...
