070 Chaos is coming
The parchment lay quietly in the corner, inconspicuous, if it weren't for the gold buckle on it that attracted the flowing fire, I'm afraid the two would have really ignored it.
What is this thing that deserves to be secured with a gold buckle?
Flowing Fire picked up the parchment roll, unscrewed the buckle, and gently unfolded it on the wooden table, which was actually a map.
At this time, Yun Shuyue also came over, and the two studied the map together, but nothing came of it.
"Obviously, this is not a map here, and it doesn't match the passage at all," Yun said.
"There are very few words, and we can't understand them, but the mountains and rivers in them can still be understood."
The map is very detailed, and in the upper left corner there is a topographic map full of mountains and rivers, and the whole picture is marked with some room passages and the like, which seems to be a detailed map of the building.
If you don't know how to return or not, both of them can feel the preciousness of the map, and the map that can be saved with a gold buckle is not important.
The two of them glanced at each other, and both understood the meaning in their eyes.
Liuhuo said, "I'll find another piece of parchment, copy a copy, and give this original to Senior Sister."
Yun Shayue was a little embarrassed, but finally nodded.
Flowing Fire returned to the iron-making furnace, where he remembered that there was a lot of charcoal. Yun Shayue found a blank piece of parchment in the library, and the two began to copy the map.
The map is very complicated, and it took half a day to copy it. When it was done, the stomach of the flowing fire screamed very uselessly.
Both of them are very tired, although they don't know the time, but the fatigue can't fool people. The two of them simply ate something, ignoring the dust on the bed, and quickly fell asleep.
They slept soundly, but there were still many people who stayed awake all night, and Elder Lan Ji was one.
The Jade Qilin had already been sent back to the inner gate, and it was ordered by Elder Lan Ji himself. The Creation Gate sent more than 1,000 backups, and the exploration operation continued day and night, and countless caves where the dark ones stored their materials were pulled out, but there was no cloud covering the moon.
The expedition eventually went deep into the bat cave, and the Creation Gate relied on the strength of the crowd to eliminate many nasty bat swarms, which can be regarded as revenge for Yun Shuyue.
But the real enemy has already flown away. Lan Ji became angry when she thought of that Xuanwu.
"At that time, I shouldn't have stopped his flying sand technique, I should have just detained him. How can you let him escape?"
Lan Ji was completely immersed in chagrin and self-blame, and Xuanwu had been killed countless times in her heart.
What is Xuanwu doing now? He is not happy because he is being punished by Lord Feng to kneel.
In an inconspicuous village, in an inconspicuous grass house, the orc Xuanwu knelt down in front of Lord Feng, without the slightest rebelliousness, and his face was full of dejection.
Lord Feng and the Ninth Master looked at Xuanwu, just staring at it without saying a word.
Xuanwu really couldn't stand the dull and oppressive atmosphere, so he kowtowed to Lord Feng and said.
"Master, if you are not angry, just scold me and beat me, the disciple knows that it is wrong..."
Lord Feng looked at his apprentice and sighed softly.
"Do you really know you're wrong? I ask you, do you know that I ever ordered no one to hurt the Drifting Fire?"
"I know..."
"So, on the Savage Ridge, did Cang'er tell you that the young man was Flowing Fire?"
"Told..."
"Have you ever given an order, whether you live or die? You pile up two pyres, who are you going to burn?"
Lord Feng's words became more and more intense, Xuanwu was sweating profusely, and his mouth was incomprehensible.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, the ninth master hurriedly made peace with the mud.
"Xuanwu, you said that the two of them finally went deep into the bat cave, can you tell me the specific location?"
Xuanwu obviously overwhelmed the master's momentum, and took a few deep breaths before speaking.
"According to the chaser's report, it should have rushed into the tunnel to the northwest..."
The ninth master looked a little nervous, and turned his head to Lord Feng and said.
"The northwest tunnel is the longest, and there are the most forks, and our exploration was blocked here back then, I'm afraid..."
Lord Feng frowned and waved his hand to interrupt the Ninth Master's words.
"Listen to the fate of heaven, it looks like Savage Ridge can't be snatched back..."
Xuanwu heard the master's words, and quickly straightened his waist and said.
"Master, give me a thousand elites, and I'll help you take them back. Savage Ridge was lost in my hands, and I desperately want to get it back..."
Before Xuanwu could finish speaking, Lord Feng slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Xuanwu and reprimanding loudly.
"The materials that Savage Ridge has accumulated for decades have been thrown away by you, and you don't pay attention to my orders, the plans of Yongning Prefecture have been disrupted by you, and you are still making noise here..."
"Get out, I'm too lazy to see you..."
Xuanwu's eyes turned red when he heard the master's reprimand, and he suddenly stood up and said.
"Master... Tell me, is the rumor about Drift Fire true? He's really your son?"
Xuanwu's question was like a stone blocking Lord Feng's chest, and Lord Feng, who was holding back, didn't say anything for a long time, and finally raised his foot and kicked on Xuanwu's breastplate.
Like a boulder, Basalt retreated, smashing through the wooden door and falling into the courtyard.
"Kneel in the courtyard and reflect, don't get up without my order..."
After Lord Feng finished shouting, he collapsed on the chair and pinched his forehead with his hand, seemingly being taken lightly by Xuanwu.
"Go out for a walk, let's breathe..."After the ninth master finished speaking, he dragged Lord Feng out of the grass hut.
Xuanwu knelt in the courtyard, not daring to look at the master. Lord Feng didn't bother to take care of him, raised his feet and walked out of the small courtyard, and walked in the fields with the ninth master.
"Your anger is too great, and Xuanwu's question is understandable, after all, after so many years, he treats you as a father, and now there is a sudden fire, he will inevitably not adapt..."
"I'm afraid that he will move his mind that he shouldn't move, it's not a good thing to be too ambitious..."
"That's not all to blame him, the environment. He has followed you since he was a child, and his cultivation is also the highest, and the environment has already tacitly acquiesced to his status as a young master, and now there is a sudden fire, can he not resist?"
"What's more, Cang'er told me that Xuanwu didn't want to hurt the flowing fire at first, and his goal was only that cloud covering the moon. Later, it was also angry that the escape of the stray fire was angry, and the death order was given as soon as the brain was hot."
"I know what you said, I'm just annoyed with his temper that doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he is very smart tactically, but too weak strategically. Savage Ridge has been operating hard for so many years, how can it be exposed for a cloud to cover the moon?"
The Ninth Master thought about it and spoke.
"It's not that serious, the grain traded with Chu has already been shipped out, and Yongning Prefecture's plan should be said to have succeeded for the most part, as for the other weapons, money or something, it doesn't matter at all. The only thing that makes people feel distressed is that such a wonderful secret stronghold is occupied by the Creation Gate..."
After listening to the words of the Ninth Master, Lord Feng suddenly laughed.
"Actually, it's not that the Creation Gate takes advantage, this time it's Lan Ji who leads the team, and Savage Ridge will definitely be under her jurisdiction in the future. This gift to your old friend is also a good thing, haha..."
Lord Feng's laughter didn't make the ninth master angry.
"Don't mention that crazy woman, if it weren't for her, I would have been reduced to running around with you? Do you think I'm here to see your friendship with me? I'm avoiding her..."
"Okay, I don't accept your love, I accept Senior Sister Lan's love..."
In the faint moonlight, the figures of the two were stretched long, and the laughter was unusually loud in the silent night.
The impact of the disappearance of Yun Shaoyue is getting bigger and bigger. The Creation Gate is desperately searching and rescuing in the Savage Ridge, the dark ones are watching in the dark, and all kinds of strange rumors are also spreading in Tiandu City.
Some people say that Yun Shaoyue is dead, some people say that Yun Shaoyue has taken refuge in the dark one, and some even say that Yun Shaoyue actually died at the hands of some inner door elder, which has led to many secrets of the elders' intrigue.
When Zuo Panyu and Yang Fan returned to Tiandu City from the Water Jade Mine, they were immediately carried away by these rumors.
Zuo Panyu and Yang Fan are both outer disciples, belonging to the kind that grandma doesn't love and uncle doesn't love, and the people who spread the most gossip are these huge number of outer disciples. When these people get together, there is no taboo at all to speak, especially when they see Yang Fan, a natural activist, they are even more energetic.
"Yang Fan, Yang Fan, come here. Where have you two been all this time?"
"Where else can they go, follow the back of the flowing fire butt..."
"Do you two know?
"What a disappearance, it's the dark one..."
"What you said is not right, it is said that Yun Shuyue was murdered by the Inner Gate Elder..."
"You fart, is it a love killing, your news is long outdated..."
"You're just farting, and you believe such childish rumors..."
......
Gossip, it's all gossip. Zuo Panyu saw that the atmosphere in the entire Tiandu City was very strange, so he hurriedly pulled Yang Fan, and the two of them hurried to report to the flowing fire.
But when the two of them came to Zhongzhou Mountain and Liuhuo's private house, they only saw Suzaku with a bitter face, and it turned out that Lord Liuhuo was not there.
From Suzaku's mouth, the two knew that Flowing Fire had gone to the prairie, but Suzaku always revealed his concern about Flowing Fire in and out of his words.
"I haven't been in touch with him for so long, and I don't know what's going on..."
"If I had known, I would have followed..."
Looking at the nagging Suzaku, Zuo Panyu and the others looked at each other.
At this time, there were torches everywhere on the Savage Ridge, and groups of elites of the Creation Gate were going in and out of the cave group, and it had been ten days since the search work.
In a clean, dry cave, the two elders, Yu Fei and Lan Ji, sat guarding an oil lamp. It took a long time for Yu Fei to speak.
"Senior sister, go back to the inner door. You've been staying up for more than ten days, and I'll send another 1,000 more people here to increase the intensity of investigation, so you don't have to guard it..."
"How can I be so stupid, how can I let her go down the mountain alone? She is still a child, why am I so confused..."
Yu Fei saw that Senior Sister Lan was showing some signs of madness, and hurriedly persuaded her.
"Don't say that, the moon will be fine, as long as we are patient and search, we will definitely find it. Now the key question is not to be cheaper than the dark ones, especially which madmen. We must take revenge..."
"Revenge..."
Yu Fei's words suddenly lit up Lan Ji's eyes, and there was a sudden chill in the cave. A pot of hot tea on the table quickly turned cold, and frost suddenly crept all over the pot.
"Yes, revenge..."
"Let's go, let's go back and take revenge..."
