Chapter 4: The Map of the Abyss
[Ran^Text^Library] After repeatedly cleaning the entire cave from dust, a once-inhabited inner hall gradually began to show some of its original appearance. A stone table, a stone bed, three stone benches, two wooden shelves that were almost crumbling, and nothing else in this austere room.
"You all look around and see if there's anything worth using. Qin Yang nodded at the few people in front of him, and then threw his eyes at a few girls, wanting to count on Yang Hao's big guys to find things, Qin Yang wouldn't believe it even if he daydreamed.
Several people immediately separated, Luo Qinglin, Lin Jing, and Xie Luli stood in front of the two bookshelves with understanding, and everyone also knew that in this kind of humble residence, the bookshelf is the main place to place things. If there's anything big to discover, these two wooden shelves are where the biggest opportunity lies.
Layer by layer, the dust on the shelves was wiped away, and many of the things that had been placed here gradually revealed what they used to be. Luo Qinglin's hand stroked from the shelf, and a few low-grade night pearls and a few very ordinary cold iron ore fell into her hands, and He Danxue and Xie Luli only pinched a few similar things in their hands, although there were many things, but they were all worthless scraps, and only silver-level monks who had just stepped into the realm of Xuanli would be interested in these things.
"It's really strange, all these things combined, it's not worth one percent of the price of that light curtain. Luo Qinglin frowned, then stared at the shelf in front of him and searched again, "Could it be that the person really took the things that were worth taking with him, and that light curtain was really just bought for self-defense? ”
Several big men rummaged through boxes and cabinets near the stone bed and stone table for a long time, except for some remaining daily necessities, but there was nothing else to find, and several people gathered around Qin Yang again with a helpless face.
"Boss, we really ran away in vain this trip, it looks pretty powerful on the outside, but this poor ghost didn't leave us with anything. Yang Hao turned the handle of the knife in his hand, and after knocking on the stone bed, he walked helplessly in the direction of the cave.
Although everyone planned to give up their efforts to continue searching for treasures in this dilapidated place, Qin Yang was still staring at this humble cave with a puzzled face, and the question that Luo Qinglin had just now kept lingering in his mind - this was unreasonable.
If it is really just a poor ghost with nothing as Yang Hao said, then what is he spending so much money to buy a light curtain for, for self-defense? If it was used to protect something important, and since he didn't even have time to remove the light curtain, would he have time to take the important thing?
"Don't worry, everybody, let's see if there's anything we missed, I always feel like there's something we haven't seen. Qin Yang waved his hand and called a few people back from the entrance of the cave, staring at the shelf in front of him and examining them carefully.
Look again, look again, there must be something that is easy to miss, Qin Yang kept secretly thinking in his heart, but he still couldn't see what the way was.
"What else can there be, see me Yang Hao come to clean him up, lest the eldest brother always think about it. As he spoke, Yang Hao held the knife and knocked on the wooden shelf in front of him impatiently. As his vigorous hand rose and fell, the wooden shelf, which was already in danger, could not bear it at all, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Before everyone had time to complain about how Yang Hao was so impulsive, a small door that suddenly appeared on the wall behind the shelf attracted everyone's attention.
"Emma, you Yang madman has made a meritorious service today, if it wasn't for your knife, who would have thought that there would be a secret door here. Huang Ruiyuan looked at the hidden door hidden behind the shelf in front of him, patted Yang Hao's shoulder, and laughed excitedly.
"Hey, hey," Yang Hao couldn't help but laugh twice, and then said, "It's all a small thing, it's a small thing, don't worry about it." Let's let the boss see what's inside. ”
Even if everyone nodded in agreement, Qin Yang also reached out and carefully brushed aside the rusty iron dark grid, opened a fire candle and slowly leaned his eyes over. Qin Yang's eyes rolled, and a bundle of scrolls carefully wrapped by fairly high-quality silk immediately met his eyes.
"This guy has material!" This was Qin Yang's first reaction, not to mention anything else, this silk alone is a well-known and valuable goods, and all the things outside can't be exchanged for such a piece of silk cloth. When he made a big purchase for He Danxue in the Qianjin Yixiao Building, Qin Yang could be said to have already made a big purchase of these things.
With a hint of excitement, Qin Yang carefully took the scroll out of the dark grid. In the eyes of everyone's hope, Qin Yang immediately took out a bundle of bamboo scrolls from the silk sleeve very carefully.
Unlike the tattered things that had just been found on the shelves, the whole bundle of scrolls exuded a spontaneous simplicity and elegance, which was obviously not an ordinary thing. Qin Yang's hand also slowly unfolded the scroll in front of him with a hint of heaviness, and then a piece of parchment that was framed inside the scroll came into the eyes of several people.
The entire parchment is covered with thick black lines, and the combination is like a fragmented map that begins and leads to nowhere, with several scribbled archaic characters written in the lower corners of the map. The entire map did not have a title, looking at the unique terrain drawn on it, although Qin Yang also had a few vague guesses in his heart, he was still not very sure, and he couldn't recognize the scribbled ancient characters at all, so the whole bundle of scrolls was sent to Luo Qinglin's hands again.
After staring at those ancient characters for a while, Luo Qinglin raised her head and said cautiously: "This handwriting is really scribbled, and it is still a very rare Xuanlong ancient character, I only knew a little about this ancient character back then, and I even guessed that I could see a little something." ”
"Well, Sister Qinglin, tell me more about it. ”
Pursing her lips gently, Luo Qinglin said softly: "It is probably written here - there is a treasure in the abyss, and those who can get it, and it seems to be a treasure map pointing to the location of this abyss." ”
"Is there really a baby?" Yan Wenqing, who didn't have much hope anymore, instantly became interested when he heard Luo Qinglin say this, and hurriedly squeezed to Qin Yang's side from the side, looking at the map in front of him.
Qin Yang immediately nodded, and asked Luo Qinglin, "Sister Qinglin, I see that the location described on this map seems to be near the coast of the East China Sea, do you think so?"
"I think it's the same, judging from the topography on the map, the only place on this continent that I know can have such a look. ”
Qin Yang smiled slightly when he heard this, immediately put away the map, and asked loudly at a few people, "Do you want to go?"
"Go!"
"Dry hair doesn't go. ”
"Whoever doesn't go, I'm in a hurry!"
............
After almost sleepless in excitement, the nine of them rushed to Baiyang City the next day and purchased almost all the expedition equipment they could imagine. Qin Yang also summoned all his spiritual power to exert his full strength, and thousands of hemostatic talismans and blood dragon roaring talismans were also handed over to everyone. After searching all the pharmacies in Baiyang City, the elixirs with excellent grades and effects were also produced like flowing water in Luo Qinglin's hands, and the original pile of pills refined from poisonous weeds in the dagger mounds were quickly exchanged for a few pockets of gold coins to buy other goods.
The actions of Qin Yang and the others instantly caused a sensation in Baiyang City, and the most excited were naturally the shopkeepers who sold field equipment and medicinal materials. Today's income is enough to eat for a year.
Such a scene naturally attracted the attention of the Zhao family's spies all over Baiyang City, and the relevant situation was immediately reported to Zhao Kehua's desk.
"Are you sure they all bought these things?" Looking at the henchman in front of him who was still panting, Zhao Kehua confirmed it to him again.
The spy took a deep breath and said intently: "I have investigated it repeatedly, and there is no mistake. ”
"Alright, you go down. Zhao Kehua waved his hand lightly, and then walked into the back room.
"It doesn't matter where you're going, when you come back, you'll only see ruins. When the head of the family really gets the treasure of the He family, just a few yellow-mouthed children, I think you still dare to be arrogant. Zhao Kehua muttered as he reached out and opened a secret door behind the bookshelf.
At the same time, a meaningful sigh sounded in Zhao Keqi and Zhao Kelin's room at the same time.
............
When the Zhao family's secret agents came out and quietly laid countless eyeliners near the He family's new mansion, Qin Yang and the others didn't know anything about it, and a group of people had already crossed Valen Mountain at a rapid pace and returned to their respective caves to spend the last night before departure.
Early the next morning, a few traces of fish belly white had just appeared in the sky, and on the shore, several pairs of men and women were already standing together, listening to Qin Yang talk about where to go next.
"As shown on the map, the entrance to the East China Sea Abyss is on Fuqin Island, which is thirty miles away, so everyone can follow me. The past is an unknown place along the way, so we must be cautious and not impulsive for no reason. ”
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Yang Hao touched his head, and said with a smile: "I know, I won't mess around." ”
"That's good, let's go!" Qin Yang waved his hand, and together with Luo Qinglin, he looked at the map and led the way.
