Volume 1 Tribulation Chapter 118 A New Secret in the Scroll

Huang Xiaoxue didn't answer his question directly, but turned around and lit the copper lamp on the table with a smile.

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "What do you want to do?"

Huang Xiaoxue took out a sheepskin scroll from her bosom and laid it flat on the flame to roast it evenly.

"What the hell are you doing?" Xu Chen touched his head and asked puzzledly, "Miss Huang didn't want to burn this picture, right?"

Huang Xiaoxue was impatient with the question, and turned around and glared at him fiercely: "What are you anxious about, you will get the answer immediately!" After speaking, she poured a cup of tea, picked up a brush and dipped it in the upper left corner of the picture.

Looking at it, Xu Chen was surprised to find that where she had painted, there were three more ancient tadpole texts. At this moment, he couldn't keep his calm heart anymore, and hurriedly asked: "What the hell, there are so many words hidden in a picture, do you know these words?"

"Of course, I know it, I can basically recognize all the ancient characters. ”

"Less bragging, I don't believe it. Even Lin Yue'er, who was extremely talented, admitted that she couldn't recognize all the tadpole texts, Huang Xiaoxue was ashamed to say that she knew them all, and Xu Chen was of course skeptical of her words.

"Miss Ben originally wanted to tease you, seeing that you are so impatient now, then I will tell you the meaning of these three words, but don't be surprised when you hear it. ”

"At best, it's a new clue to a treasure, what can I fuss about. Xu Chen scoffed.

"False, these three words mean Xuanwu Shield. ”

"What are you talking about, Xuanwu Shield!" Xu Chen was shocked, reached out and grabbed Huang Xiaoxue's slender wrist, and asked anxiously: "Are you talking about the Xuanwu Shield, an artifact that has been missing from my Chongwu Mountain for many years?"

Huang Xiaoxue snorted and whispered, "You scratched me." ”

Only then did Xu Chen realize his gaffe, he hurriedly let go of his hand, but his face was already slightly blue.

At the beginning, the god king Garamo said to himself that the Xuanwu shield was taken away from the sacred mountain by the previous god king Song Wuji twenty years ago, but now a clue about the Xuanwu shield suddenly appeared on this picture, could it be that the ultimate secret of the sheepskin scroll is not the treasure but the Xuanwu shield?

Then the next deeper question, although Xu Chen had already thought of it, he didn't dare to show it, because if this conjecture was true, all the confidence and motivation that supported him would collapse at this moment.

When this terrifying thought came to his mind, Xu Chen's eyes showed a hint of panic. Because the holder of the Xuanwu Shield is Song Wuji, if it is now hidden in Ao'an Mountain, wouldn't it mean that Song Seniors have encountered an accident, otherwise how could he leave this artifact in Ao'an Mountain!

If this is the case, then what is the point of the task that Karama has given him? Xu Chen's heart was churning like waves, and for a moment, his whole body trembled slightly.

Huang Xiaoxue saw that his face was a little unnatural, and thought that Xu Chen was stunned by the new secret she had said, and she said in a show-off tone: "If the ultimate secret of the scroll is the Xuanwu Shield, it is a major event that shocks the world, and this is much more sensational than the gimmick of the Chiyou Treasure." ”

"Maybe. Xu Chen replied weakly, and suddenly he stared at Huang Xiaoxue as if he had grasped a life-saving straw and said, "Didn't you say that this was a trap? Since that's the case, then whatever is written in the scroll is fake, right?"

"Of course I think there's fraud, but that's what makes me even more curious. ”

"Knowing that it's fake, what the hell are you doing wronged!" Xu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to hear any bad news about Song Wuji's seniors.

"You don't even use your brain to think about it, even an artifact like the Xuanwu shield has come out, which means that the person who made this drawing, his mind will never be limited to this small place in Qingping County. ”

"How can he have such great ambitions, I think you are playing tricks. ”

"Forget it, I can't tell you about it. After Huang Xiaoxue finished speaking, she walked out.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Where else can it be, of course, to go to our parents and tell him the news. ”

Xu Chen came back to his senses and hurriedly followed her to the yamen to see Li Xianling.

After listening to Huang Xiaoxue's inference, Li Xianling couldn't help but gasp, and he asked a little uneasily: "Could it be that the words Xuanwu Shield are hidden in the two scrolls?"

Seeing that Huang Xiaoxue was about to take out the two scrolls, and nodded affirmatively, Li Xianling's thick eyebrows were locked together.

Huang Xiaoxue said: "Things are getting more and more strange, adults should make a decision and never hesitate anymore." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Whether it's true or not, the little woman thinks that she should send someone to Ao'an Mountain to find out the truth. What worries me now is that this so-called treasure map is not just two in my hand, maybe there is a third and a fourth......"

Xu Chen interrupted her and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you said, it's not straw paper, it's also a piece of paper!"

Li Xian Ling waved his hand and motioned Xu Chen not to say any more, and he said to Huang Xiaoxue with a solemn expression: "Whether it is true or not, this official has decided to adopt Miss Huang's proposal." ”

"My lord, we know it's a trap, and we still have to be fooled, isn't that the trick of the gangster?" Xu Chen shouted, but was glared at fiercely by Huang Xiaoxue.

"The owners of the two parchment scrolls are of different identities, and the location where they obtained the drawings is also 108,000 miles apart, and the reason for this is probably that, as Miss Huang said, there are definitely more than two scrolls. The official is worried that more scrolls will pop up, and at that time, someone will be fooled and lose their lives. If such a thing really happens, how can this official sit idly by!"

When Xu Chen heard this, he felt that his words were reasonable, and he also changed his previous thoughts, and took the initiative to ask the county magistrate: "It's still an adult who is thoughtful, and I am willing to go to Ao'an Mountain to investigate the matter." ”

"With the help of young heroes, the official is also relieved. After a pause, Li Xianling said: "Before the matter is clear, this official cannot regard it as a trick of gangsters. Since it involves the Xuanwu Shield, it is a major matter beyond what I can decide in Qingping County, and I think it is still necessary to inform the prince in time and ask His Royal Highness to decide this matter personally. ”

Huang Xiaoxue smiled and said, "When Prince Fu's will reaches you, I'm afraid that the gangsters' tricks have already succeeded." The little woman thought that we should do both, on the one hand, we sent someone to inform the palace, and on the other hand, we went to Ao'an Mountain first to prevent others from going to hunt for treasure. ”

The girl had a point. Li Xianling hurriedly ordered his entourage to bring all the personnel of the county government to the lobby to discuss the matter.

After some discussion, the vast majority of people agreed with Huang Xiaoxue's opinion, so Li County decided to arrange for Guo Hong to lead several shrewd and experienced officials to set off with Xu Chen tomorrow to investigate the truth of the matter.

Xu Chen asked Lin Yu and Zhao Lei to go with him, so that there would be a response on the road, and Li Xianling agreed. At the same time, he personally wrote an urgent document, attached it to one of the sheepskin scrolls, sealed it in an envelope, and ordered his subordinates to rush to Shangzhou City at an expedited speed of eight hundred miles, and deliver the news to King Fu's mansion in time.

Seeing that the matter was decided like this, Huang Xiaoxue proposed to block the news again, and everyone disguised themselves and took the path to Ao'an Mountain to prevent unnecessary twists and turns on the way.

Xu Chen's eyes widened after hearing her words, and when he saw Huang Xiaoxue so far-sighted, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "My mother, this beauty's mind is too detailed, such a smart girl, it is incredible that the Heavenly Tiger can actually kidnap her." If it were me, let alone arresting her as the lady of the village, I am afraid that I would be deceived by her before I arrived in Heifeng Mountain, and I couldn't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest. ”

The next day, Xu Chen deliberately got up early in the morning and changed into a peasant costume, and after meeting Lin Yu and the two, he was ready to go to the city gate to meet Guo Hong and others and go to Ao'an Mountain together.

When I walked to the door of Mingyue Villa, I saw Huang Xiaoxue changing into a man's clothes, sitting next to the stone lion at the door, and looking at the three of them with a smile.

Xu Chen suddenly knew that she wanted to go to Ao'an Mountain with her, so she hurriedly glanced at Lin Yu and asked him to dissuade this wayward daughter.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yu just smiled slightly, and slipped away under the pretext of going to the thatched house, Xu Chen was embarrassed, so he had to personally come forward to persuade Huang Xiaoxue to stay in the village and wait for good news.

Of course, Huang Xiaoxue didn't agree, and asked Xu Chen to take her to see more. While the two were arguing, they suddenly heard a loud shout behind them.
