After exhaling heavily, Charlotte withdrew the broken straight sword back into his waist and looked at the four people standing in front of him with their heads bowed.

After pondering for a while, he said to the four of them: "I said you, you are the personal disciples of Confucius, although the talent of each of you can be said to be the pride of the sky, but if you spread the embarrassing appearance, you will be laughed at." ”

"Dasha Lizhong, many times you have to think before you act, otherwise the consequences will not be just like today. “

"Ersil Gangxing, you are the best one of the four, but most of the time you still lack adaptability, if you didn't rush to me just now, I wouldn't have seized the opportunity. ”

"Three fools Qinglin, panic when facing danger, but it is a taboo for martial artists. Although you can attack in a planned way and cooperate with others in a big way, when you are in chaos yourself, you can put the people around you in danger. ”

"Finally, the fourth sister Yashuang, don't be discouraged when you lose the wind for a while, as long as you can seize the opportunity in the ever-changing battle, you can counterattack the opponent even if you have the upper hand. ”

Charlotte picked up her bag on the side of the road, smiled and said to the four of them, "Okay, that's the end of today's special training." Tomorrow... Well, I'm sorry, you're up to tomorrow. ”

The four of them raised their heads suddenly, and Yashuang held back her tears and said, "Brother Charlotte, are you really leaving?

"I'm sorry Fourth Sister, I can't stay. Charlotte just shook her head.

"Then the four of us will go with you, big brother!" Lizhong shouted.

"No, you have more important things to do. Xia Luo showed a serious expression, "When you return to Kongshangfu, the master will explain it to you clearly." ”

"Before, eldest brother, you personally said that this was a decision made by you and Confucius, but I really don't understand what kind of thing it is, hasn't Master already severed relations with you, eldest brother?"

"That's when I forced my master to make such a decision. And this is about the life and death of Senior Sister Mu Xian, in addition to the 'Five Elements Reincarnation Decision', I have been hiding another thing from you, this matter is related to the life and death of Kong Shangfu. But I think it's better for Confucius to speak in person, plus..."

“... It's not too early, and I'm going to hit the road as soon as possible. He smiled.

"Are you really leaving... You... Will you come back?" Qinglin said solemnly.

Charlotte smiled, "The boy doesn't cry when he leaves, I will definitely come back as long as I have the opportunity." ”

"So... It's time for me to go. Charlotte turned, took a step, raised one hand and waved back, "We will definitely meet again in the future." ”

The four of them watched Xia Luo's figure gradually move away, and at this time, Li Zhong wiped the tears from his eyes and shouted loudly: "Brother Xia Luo, we will wait for you to come back!"

"We will stand on the peak of the warriors and shout out the name loudly!"

"No matter where you are in the world, you can hear us!"

"No matter how many forces on the Eastern Far Continent are with you, our voice will also cover this continent!"

"Ring all over the world!"

The roar of the bell echoed through the mountains, and Charlotte did not respond, leaving only four figures and a vague fog.

......

The breeze blew up the pitch-black cloak, and Charlotte looked quietly at a figure in front of him, and after a while, he spoke: "Why, do you want to fight with me too?"

Kong Liehao was silent, his tenacious eyes staring at Xia Luo tightly. He shook his head and said, "Grandpa asked me to bring the message." ”

"The bandage on your body is a demigod-level creation woven by the Ice Silkworm Butterfly, as long as you wear it and tie it on your body, it can suppress the 'demon fire' on your body. But this is just a temporary first aid measure, after all, even if Grandpa has studied the 'Divine Beast Demon Fox' for so long, with the characteristics of the 'Demon Fire', he can't guarantee what will happen in the future. ”

"He said that if you have the opportunity, come back to Kongshangfu, and he will find a way for you. And..."

“... Be careful all the way. ”

Charlotte nodded, and couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart. Then he picked up his steps and continued his journey towards the mountains ahead. When he passed by Kong Liehao, Kong Liehao still stared ahead, and said, "One day, I will defeat you." ”

Charlotte stopped and smiled bitterly, "In my current state, you can easily defeat me." ”

"No, I'm talking about beating you with dignity when your injuries are restored!"

He shook his head, and continued to walk, as if he had made a joke easily, and said, "Didn't your grandfather tell you? I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for it in your life." ”

"I believe it! One day you will come back!" Kong Liehao roared, "And I will wait until this day comes! No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, ten years, one hundred years, I will also wait!"

Charlotte snorted with a smile, "I'm looking forward to this day too." ”

"Then Senior Sister Mu Xian will ask you, and..."

"Thank you. ”

After hearing this, Kong Liehao turned his head suddenly, only to find that Xia Luo's figure had already left, hidden in the mountain fog, and disappeared.

And his determined eyes were always looking in the direction of Charlotte's departure.

......

At night, the bright red moon hangs high on the dark sea of stars. In the forest, apart from the singing of crickets and the cooing of owls, Charlotte's surroundings are exceptionally peaceful.

He sat in front of the campfire, staring blankly at the dark book, as if he was thinking deeply. Xia Luo didn't know how quickly the news would spread in the Dragon Capital Mansion, how long it would take for the Assassins to get the news that he had left the Kongshang Mansion, or how long it would take to trace his tracks. So he had to find a safe escape route, which would be too much for even an Assassin to deal with in his current form.

And the key to his quest for a safe route was the page that had fallen inadvertently. Charlotte took a deep breath, touched the pitch-black book, and turned the first page.

When Charlotte tried to turn over the fallen page, he was stunned when he caught the only word on the book out of the corner of his eye. I saw that the line written in Chinese characters reads, "Human nature is dark." Below, I don't know when another line appeared.

"Please show your humanity. ”

What's going on? Humanity is shown, how is it shown?

All sorts of questions came through Charlotte's mind, but no matter how he interpreted the sentence, he couldn't read any of it.

He flipped through the back pages, which were still blank. Aside from the extra sentence and the falling pages, the book remains unchanged. But when exactly did this sentence come about, or what were the triggers for interpreting the book?

Charlotte stared at this sentence and found that his mental energy was rapidly draining, he immediately shifted his gaze, rubbed his aching temples, and had to turn the blank pages of the book to no avail. If he had the time and opportunity, he would have tried his best to crack this sentence, but now that time was pressing, he could only suppress all the doubts in his heart.

He took a deep breath and turned the last page of the book, picking up the one that had fallen off.

This page is depicted with many strange patterns and symbolic objects, and various words are carved in every part of the page.

This is a treasure map.

A treasure map that cannot be deciphered in the 'lingua franca' because it is carved out of a wide variety of Chinese characters.

At the bottom of the lower right corner of the treasure map, a signature written in Chinese characters is clearly engraved.

"Navigator, Zheng He"
