Cao Jinxing sat at the table and studied the picture.
It is not difficult to infer from the few words of those people before that this thing was found in the ruins of Longxiang Palace.
Longxiang Palace was the residence of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty before Zhao Yun ascended the throne. At that time, it was also called Prince Yi's Palace. It is beautifully decorated with carved beams and painted buildings.
Until the rebellion broke out, it was occupied by Fang La, who gave his son Fang Tian a customized palace for the prince and a garrison camp in Hangzhou.
Afterwards, Fang Tianding was defeated and burned down Longxiang Palace before leaving, just because he didn't want anyone to take this great palace back again.
Longxiang Palace has since become a ruin, with only ruins and broken walls remaining. Over time, overgrown with weeds, it has become a deserted garden.
Over the years, many speculators have tried to find the Fang La treasure, but they can only look at the ruins of Longxiang Palace with dismay.
"If the treasure is left for your son, you shouldn't create any riddles and tell him directly. But if you hide the treasure first, leave a backup to prevent others from discovering it, so you have to install a lock anyway..."
Cao Jinxing's brain was racing at high speed: "The destination of this map is probably a place where the 'key' is stored... Of course, it may be that I was overthinking it, and maybe Fang La gave me another key. Maybe this is the map."
But why didn't he take it away?
Instead, he hid in Longxiang Palace?
Did he know that there was no hope of escape and didn't want General Song to find him? Or did he temporarily stay here for some reason, and the result has been there until now?
It had been too long and it was impossible to deduce. Cao Jinxing did not think about it further and looked at the picture in his hand.
The picture has two sides.
The front looks like a defense map of a secret place somewhere.
He saw words like "Heavy Rain Pear Blossoms", "Wind Fire Cannon", and "Poisonous Arrows" on the picture.
It's similar to what he painted in Crouching Tiger Village, only denser and more dangerous.
On the back is a strange poem: [The setting sun, the west wind, and the autumn colors are thick, and the translator is speechless and sheds tears.]
Cao Jinxing glanced at it and wrote it down.
In addition, three sides of the map have rough edges, but the fourth side is cut neatly, like a knife, and it should be divided into at least two parts.
"Do you still need to puzzle? This task is quite troublesome."
Cao Jinxing muttered and began to study the picture on the front.
There is no specific address on it, only a few landmark nouns, which can be used as a basis for judging the southeast, northwest, and he must first find the location of the agency based on the edge prompts.
"Fortunately I brought a map with me beforehand."
Cao Jinxing took out the entire map of Hangzhou from his Qiankun bag and laid it flat on the table.
"Baiyunpo...Sanshanjiang..."
His eyes were like lightning as he quickly sorted through the densely packed words on the map.
As dynasties change, the names of states and counties may change accordingly, but the names of rivers and mountains are passed down from generation to generation, so the possibility of sudden changes is unlikely. Even if they change, the names of both places will not be changed...
"Yes."
Cao Jinxing's sight was fixed on the "Sanshan River" on the map. This is a large river that got its name because it passes between three mountains.
Like Xin'an River, it flows through Chun'an County!
——Fang La’s hometown!
The rest is easy.
Cao Jinxing took out a more detailed map of Chun'an County from his Qiankun bag and looked for "Baiyun Slope".
It was finally determined that the mechanism deployment map on the map was located in his more than 100 acres of lacquer garden outside Fangla's hometown of Yan Village.
Nowadays, it is also a lacquer garden, with many lacquer trees planted to make tung lacquer.
"It seems there is no need to go to Longxiang Palace..."
Cao Jinxing quickly put away the map, hurried downstairs, and left the inn.
The sun has set.
The sky is getting dark.
Cao Jinxing untied his horse, got on his horse, and rushed straight to Chun'an County.
Those guys from the Qingcheng faction couldn't find the treasure map from the thief, so they would definitely come looking for him. Although he wasn't afraid, it was better to do less than to do more.
And after all this trouble, his interest in treasure hunting has increased. Thinking about the treasures that may be hidden under the lacquer garden, he is excited and a little anxious.
"Looking for babies is quite interesting..."
Cao Jinxing thought to himself: "It's better to wait until Chun'an before resting. Longxiang Palace is just a ruin. Not many people come here to look for clues. Bangyuan Cave and Yan Village are where Jianghu people gather. You have to be more careful..."
Cao Jinxing rode out of the inn.
"Hey, sir..." The waiter hurriedly chased him out and shouted, "Your food and drinks are ready!"
"Give it to you!"
In the distance, Cao Jinxing's voice came.
"wack……"
The waiter muttered: "I just booked the room and the food and drinks, but suddenly I don't want them anymore... Forget it, I gave the money to the shopkeeper anyway! Did you hear that the guest officer said that he gave me the food and wine as a gift?"
"Listen to something!"
The shopkeeper's voice came from the inn: "I only heard him say that there is no charge for refunding the food!"
"..."
Just know it is so!
The waiter in the shop was indignant. He lowered his head and muttered in a low voice. He scolded the shopkeeper ten times for being a fat man!
After scolding, he felt refreshed and was about to turn around and go back to the inn, when suddenly a hand pressed down on his shoulder.
"that person……"
Zhu Qidan's voice floated to his ears with sadness: "...Did you say where he went?"
Several gusts of cold wind came one after another.
The waiter trembled in fright and said tremblingly: "No, no... He booked a room, ordered food and drinks, locked himself in the room, and then came out without saying a word..."
"Chun'an!"
Zhuo Yue was dressed in rags and was held in the hands of "Old Liang". He was afraid that they would kill him if they disagreed, so he hurriedly showed his worth and said: "This direction is to Chun'an, I know a shortcut!"
"lead the way!"
Zhu Qidan grabbed him. The fifteen or sixteen year old boy's body looked like a skinny monkey in his hands.
Zhuo Yue's ability to find secret passages from agencies is still somewhat useful. Zhu Qidan originally didn't want to kill him. Such a person would be useful in finding treasures.
"This way!"
Zhuo Yue pointed his finger confidently.
Eight people came out together.
…
Hangzhou is more than 300 miles away from Chun'an, and it would take much of the night to gallop the horses. This is the result of frequent trips to the inn to change horses.
Cao Jinxing, don't be in a hurry.
He set a small goal for himself, as long as he could arrive tomorrow afternoon without delaying his rest at night.
He rode his horse up the official road.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the shadows of the trees on both sides are mottled, as if lonely ghosts are waving in the wind.
Suddenly, a voice floated out from the ghostly shadow.
""Eight Formations of the Shangqing Dynasty"! Set up the formation!"
Zhu Qidan shouted loudly, and eight figures jumped down from the big trees on both sides of the official road, stood in the Bagua position with swords, and surrounded Cao Jinxing.
The horses were frightened and neighed loudly, which filled the night sky.
The horse's hooves were raised high and fell heavily.
Cao Jinxing on horseback sighed.
"Haha, you don't have to sigh."
Zhu Qidan still remembered Cao Jinxing's method of secretly obtaining the map from Zhuo Yue. His hand speed and eyesight were extraordinary!
"As long as you hand over the treasure map, we will let you go, and then we will seize the treasure according to our own methods. How about that?"
As soon as he said this, the others were dissatisfied.
Knowing that he was a rival for the treasure, why did you let him go without seizing the opportunity to eradicate him first?
Seeing the puzzled expressions on all the junior disciples' faces, Zhu Qi was convinced that he was an idiot!
This person's breath-holding technique is at its peak, and there is no way to tell the difference. This alone can show that he comes from a famous family. Of course, such a person will not be provoked if he can do it.
"you misunderstood."
Cao Jinxing glanced at the sky and said leisurely: "I was thinking, if I had known this, Xia would have waited in the city for you to come to my door."
"oh?"
Zhu Qidan raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by this?"
Cao Jinxing smiled slightly and said: "The sky is dark and the earth is dark, and there are no visitors in the barren mountains and mountains. I beat you here, and no one helps me make my name. It's so boring..."
"Arrogant!"
"court death!"
As soon as Cao Jinxing finished speaking, all the Eight Heroes of Qingcheng were filled with indignation!
They have never been so despised since they debuted!
Zhu Qidan's face was gloomy. He waved his hand to stop the angry shouting of others and said coldly: "Your Excellency is uttering wild words. If the Eight Heroes of Qingcheng don't fight, I'm afraid it will be spread out and make the brothers in the world laugh at you! In this case, who is your name?
, you dare to mark the way!"
"Easy to say."
Cao Jinxing smiled and said slowly: "I am Xia Yiming, China's summer, a blockbuster Yiming. The eight of you, come together!"
