The Aloof Prince Chapter 64 - The Infrared Ray

Chu Li did not reply to Mu Yunjin's question but simply turned around to leave. Mu Yunjin twitched her mouth and glared at Chu Li's back. She secretly muttered it seems like for this night and a half, she still has to act.

Thinking of Shui Yun Temple, Mu Yunjin's whole body felt heavy.

That Millenium old tree, that trap that is locking Rong Fei, the modern alarm sound, she had been thinking about it often but she has not the least bit of clue about those matters.

Mysteriously, she always felt that something is pulling her.

……….

Nightfall.

Mu Yunjin is sitting inside her bedroom when she heard a soft knock and soon after Ding Xian's voice is heard.

"Huangzifei, we'll be able to set off now."

"Okay."

Mu Yunjin is a little helpless.

Getting up, she looked for a ribbon to tie her hair into a simple ponytail. She also intentionally wore clothing that is easy to move in. Soon after, she walked out of the door.

In the courtyard, Chu Li is sitting in front of the stone table and is drinking tea. Hearing Mu Yunjin's movement, he looked sideways towards her. He immediately frowned in dislike.

"What are you trying to do dressing up like this? This prince is not bringing you to kill a person."

Even Ding Xian can't help but laugh.

"Huangzifei, dressing up like this really makes you have a female heroic air."

"I am originally a female hero."

Mu Yunjin slightly raised her chin, even though her mood is bad, she still had no intention of going back to change.

"Let's go."

Mu Yunjin moved forward a few steps before looking at Chu Li. Chu Li nodded.

The three people walked out from the backdoor of the Fu. At this moment, a black carriage is parked outside.

Mu Yunjin and Chu Li sat inside the carriage, followed by Ding Xian who will drive the horse.

The lighting is a little dark inside the carriage, Chu Li took out Mu Yunjin's Jade pendant as the two respectively sat in their own places.

Mu Yunjin leaned and embraced her arms. She does not know why but she felt tense.

Soon, the carriage stopped.

"Your Highness, Huangzifei, we're finally here."

Ding Xian's voice sounded from outside.

When Mu Yunjin heard him, she took the initiative to get up and go out of the carriage. Before exiting, she turned her head to look over to Chu Li.

"Wait here, I'll get a lantern and come back."

Chu Li paused, a faint light flashed in his eyes.

After Mu Yunjin went out of the carriage, she took the lantern from Ding Xian's hand then, she pushed the carriage's curtain door and shoved it inside.

Chu Li followed the light and slowly walked out of the carriage.

"Where are we going?"

Mu Yunjin asked.

"We'll go to the deceased Space Master's house."

Chu Li replied.

Hearing it, Mu Yunjin frowned.

"Do you not feel flustered going into a deceased person's house at night?"

"This prince is here, what are you afraid of?"

Chu Li asked as she coldly swept his eyes over Mu Yunjin.

Mu Yunjin pursed her lips at Chu Li's words but she can't retort. Therefore, without a better option, she crossed her arms and walked towards the Space Master's house.

About a quarter of an hour later, the trio stopped in front of a house called Si Yuan.

At this time, Grand Master Huai Yuan is already waiting by the door.

"Long Live Liu Huangzi and Liu Huangzifei."

Grand Master Huai Yuan performed a ceremony for the two people.

Chu Li faintly nodded.

"Grand Master, take us inside."

"Yes."

After the words fell, Grand Master Huai Yuan fished out a key to open the door of the Si Yuan House. Soon after a creaking sound was heard as the door is pushed open.

At this moment, the house is pitch-black.

Upon seeing this, Grand Master Huai Yuan ignited his prepared lanterns and Ding Xian went inside carrying the lanterns.

Upon entering the door, Mu Yunjin discovered that the furnishings of the house are very simple. There is only a wooden bed and a wooden bookshelf. There is nothing on the bed but on the bookshelf, there are only basic books.

They looked around and fixed their eyes on those books.

Mu Yunjin also curiously walked over and picked up a book and flipped through the pages. She discovered that the writings are scriptures.

After seeing the scriptures, Mu Yunjin slightly wrung her brows and closed the book before picking up another book.

Chu Li and Grand Master Huai Yuan watched this scene and exchanged glances.

After Mu Yunjin opened this book, her eyes exposed a trace of surprise.

Because the page numbers on this book are actually marked with the Arabic numbers 123, and not with the common 一二三 (一 Yi or one, 二 Er or Two, 三 San or Three).

This made Mu Yunjin unable to contain her surprise and think to herself. Could it be that this Space Master really came from modern times?

Dismissing her thoughts, Mu Yunjin slightly pursed her lip, right now she is a modern person who appeared here. It does not mean that there is no similar case.

Mu Yunjin is really curious about this Space Master.

Turning over the book with 123 numbers, Mu Yunjin patiently flipped through the book page by page until after a dozen pages Mu Yunjin saw two English letters.

F. W.

Mu Yunjin wrinkled her brows tighter and closed the book to look at the cover page. But the cover page has no words.

"F. W."

Mu Yunjin mumbled, contemplating inwardly, she can't help but think of the modern alarm sounds.

Night, alarm sound, matrix method, F. W…..

Mu Yunjin thought about these and suddenly felt that there was a straight line in her head. She connected them all together one by one.

For a long time, Mu Yunjin thought of an outrageous hypothesis.

F. W. is a code name, if she is not mistaken, it should be the British physicist F.W. Herschel's code name. Herschel is the scientist who discovered the infrared ray principle.

Therefore, in that flat road, it is not seen by the naked eye but it can separate things by using the infrared principle.

That is the reason why when someone intends to approach an alarm sound is issued.

However, infrared rays can be easily broken through, but this array method completely blocks people from going through. Presumably, this Space Master devoted his own skills to it.

Therefore, with the infrared rays, people simply cannot see the Array method skills employed by the Space Master.

This Space Master is really a deity.

Mu Yunjin thought of all these, finally, she felt that she completely understood the matter. She is 100% certain that this Space Master surely came from modern times.

"Mu Yunjin, do you know it?"

Chu Li, from beginning to end did not let even the tiniest bit of Mu Yunjin's facial expressions get away. From her initial surprised look, until her last expression, he knows she already understood the secret of the array method.

Mu Yunjin heard Chu Li's voice, her thoughts came back. She looked at Chu Li and then looked around, she immediately understood.

It seems that he had long suspected her.

"This old man had seen that book, but these characters are really odd. This old man had never understood."

"It seems that today, Liu Huangzifei may be able to decipher these characters?"

Mu Yunjin saw that these two people had already given her a fixed path. She could not escape again, without a better option, she steadied her eyes and spoke.

"I might know the principles of the array method."

"But I might not be able to break it."

As an agent in modern times, she also had contact with these invisible infrared rays. However, they usually use night vision devices for this kind of thing. But right now is a thousand years in the past, there is no such things.

"Are these the only remnants left by the Space Release Master?"

Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow.

"There are still some in the storeroom. How about if this old man takes Huangzifei there to have a look?"

Grand Master Huai Yuan replied.

Mu Yunjin nodded.

"Take me to see."

Walking on the way to the storeroom, Chu Li tightly pursed his lips and knitted his brows as he glanced at Mu Yunjin.

"Are you sure?"

"I must look at the storeroom to know."

Mu Yunjin raised an eyebrow before stepping inside the storeroom.

Grand Master Huai Yuan led Mu Yunjin towards a big box and opened it.

"These are all the remaining things left by the Space Master."

Mu Yunjin hummed in acknowledgment before starting to rummage through the things.

The upper layer of the box is filled with buddha beads and monk robes. Mu Yunjin impatiently continued to search.

Finally, flipping over the whole box in her search, she did not find what she wanted.

"Nothing?"

Chu Li stepped forward, wrinkled his eyebrow, and looked at Mu Yunjin.

Mu Yunjin shook her head and slightly sighed, a little dispirited. Soon after she reached out her hands to put the buddha beads back into the box one by one.

When Mu Yunjin touched the last monk robe, Mu Yunjin is surprised, her eyes had a joyful expression. She took the robe and tore it in half.

Grand Master Huai Yuan was just thinking to stop her but Chu Li's presence restrained him. He could only look at this scene.

"Amitabha, we have sinned."

When Mu Yunjin tore the robe, a small black disk fell down. Mu Yunjin stooped to pick it up and put it in front of her eyes. She immediately snapped her fingers.

"Let's go to the secret room."

……….

After a moment, they are again in front of the array method.

Mu Yunjin tightly held on to the small disk, then she took a deep breath and using the corner of her clothing she gently wiped the disk.

Then she immediately looked through the black disk. When she saw the countless red light rays, tangled and complicatedly arranged. She knew that her conjecture is true.

The alarm sound is from the infrared ray.

Mu Yunjin lowered the black disk from her eyes, she can't help but think, since there is an alarm sound, then there should be a mechanism that is in control. Otherwise, the alarm sound will not ring for no reason at all.

Thinking of this, Mu Yunjin sneered and helplessly shook her head. This Space Master came to the olden times but did not remain idle.

Modern Science and Technology have been studied all over again.

"You look."

Mu Yunjin put the small thin disk in her hand and gave it to Chu Li.

Chu Li looked at the small black disk and reached out to receive it. Soon after, he put it in front of his eye looking in front of him.

In an instant, Chu Li's face changed.

When Grand Master Huai Yuan saw it, he was curious.

"Your Highness, let this old man have a look."

Chu Li handed the small disk to Grand Master Huai Yuan.

Grand Master Huai Yuan took the disk and looked through it. Soon after he shouted in alarm.

"This world actually has such a mysterious and secret formation!"

"What is this thing? Why can we see things that cannot be seen by the naked eye?"

Grand Master Huai Yuan is also curious about the small black disk in his hand.

Mu Yunjin slightly curled her lips.

"I can't solve it in a short time. Is there any room in this secret room that might house the alarm mechanisms?"

"There is, it is just below the red light."

Grand Master Huai Yuan pointed to the floor below the infrared rays.
