“...... Let's go!"

Steward Wang glared at Yang Xiu hatefully, turned around and left with someone. Yang Xiu stood at the gate and confirmed that the other party's figure disappeared around the corner of the alley, then walked back to the house quickly, and moved the water tank in the corner, revealing the bluestone on the ground.

Yang Xiu pulled away the stone, carefully pulled out a bright yellow brocade cloth package from underneath, moved the water tank back to its original position, and walked into the back room.

There are two yellowed pages wrapped in brocade, which are the title deeds that the Yang family is "haunted by".

After coming to this world, Yang Xiu had not had time to carefully study this title deed, and today's strange conditions put forward by Steward Wang gave Yang Xiu a wake-up call.

Looking at Steward Wang's performance today, the Yang family's patience has almost worn out, and they may act secretly at some point. The head of the Yang family attaches so much importance to this title deed, there must be a big secret hidden in it. As soon as he thought of this, Yang Xiu's heart felt like there were countless ants crawling around, and his curiosity was aroused.

The content on the title deed was simple and easy to understand, Yang Xiu carefully read it three times from beginning to end, and made sure that there would be no hidden secrets on it, so he couldn't help but scratch his head a little: Strange, did I think wrong?

The days of working in the library had cultivated Yang Xiu's excellent patience, so Yang Xiu was not impatient and began to calmly and carefully recall those memories of this world.

Yang Xiu's parents died early, and the title deed had been kept by Aunt Liu before. According to Aunt Liu's recollection, this paper title deed has always been wrapped in this exquisite brocade cloth, and Yang Xiu's parents also had some strange instructions before they died, they must wrap the title deed with cloth and hand it over to Yang Xiu for good preservation.

Title deeds are no problem......

Is the secret in this cloth?

Thinking of this, Yang Xiu's spirit was shocked, and he immediately shook off the brocade cloth and observed it carefully. The bright yellow fabric is soft to the touch, embroidered with a few simple lotus flowers, very delicate, but there is no written record, and the pattern does not look like there is any secret.

Yang Xiu was not discouraged, and spread the fabric completely on his hand, pinching it inch by inch.

"Huh?"

When Yang Xiu's fingers pinched the edge of the fabric, he suddenly felt a very slight protrusion at the extreme, and he was pleasantly surprised to quickly rub it carefully, and finally found the abnormality on the brocade cloth.

In the four corners of the brocade cloth, there are several ancient immortal inscriptions embroidered with yellow silk threads!

The yellow stitches are mixed with the brocade cloth, and you can't tell them apart if you don't pay attention. It's no wonder that for so many years, the original Yang Xiu, his parents, and Aunt Liu didn't find anything abnormal, even if they touched these subtle bumps, ordinary people couldn't recognize this as an ancient immortal at all.

It seems that the Yang clan is not looking for a title deed, but this piece of brocade!

Suppressing his excitement, Yang Xiu carefully groped and quickly confirmed the content of these hidden words.

"Four feet one in the east, one foot two in the north"

It seems to be ...... Coordinates-like stuff?

Yang Xiu scratched his head, thinking of the few acres of barren fields outside the city, and a sudden smile appeared on his face.

※※※

That night, Yang Xiu practiced as usual, and it was not until midnight in the morning that he carried a shovel and met with the tiger waiting at the corner of the street, and rushed out of the city together.

Walking on the plains outside the city, you can see the vast snowfields. The staggered ridges extend from the foot to the distance, blending with the blue sky, empty and long, making Yang Xiu, who has lived in the modern city for a long time, feel very happy.

......

The field of Yang Xiu's house is at the foot of the mountain, just in the shade position, and there are several old locust trees around it, the sunshine time is outrageous, and the grain harvest in a year can be imagined.

The Yang clan spent a lot of effort on this remote field and used almost all means, but they finally had some scruples and did not dare to blatantly take the land for themselves. Especially after Yang Xiu's name was on the list, he didn't dare to take action easily.

Yang Xiu did not delay, glanced at the surrounding terrain, and quickly determined the location according to the method of measuring four feet one from east to west and one zhang two from north to south. Then they lit a pile of firewood to smoke the ground, and when the frozen soil melted and became soft, the two picked up the shovel and dug violently.

Yang Xiu's physical strength is not what it used to be, he used to be tired and out of breath after running a few more steps, but now he has run all the way and started digging deep pits, and his physical strength is still sufficient.

The two took turns digging for a long time, and the pit soon reached a depth of more than one person, and just as Yang Xiu began to wonder if he was digging in the wrong place, the shovel in his hand slammed down, as if he had poked something, and made a dull "bang" sound.

Yang Xiu was overjoyed, and quickly bent down to clean up the floating soil on the surface, and quickly fished up a small iron box one foot square from the bottom of the pit.

The iron box was not locked, I don't know how long it had been buried in the ground, the surface was rusty, but it was not stained with a little dirt, and there seemed to be an invisible shield to protect the box from mud and water.

Everyone has a heart for treasure hunting, and Yang Xiu is no exception. Following the hints on the brocade cloth and digging into a box, Yang Xiu was quite excited. But when Huzi also poked his head out and wanted to lift the iron box, Yang Xiu cautiously grabbed Huzi's hand.

"Don't worry, this thing is buried so deep, there can't be any traps. Yang Xiu looked at him and said with a wink.

"Mmmm, Brother Yang, I listen to you. Huzi was stunned and nodded vigorously.

For the sake of prudence, Yang Xiu pointed the opening of the iron box at a few locust trees, and he and Huzi hid in the opposite direction, and then carefully lifted the lid of the box.

"Whoosh!"

There was no room for the two of them to react, as soon as the iron box opened a crack, a blue light shot out like lightning! The two of them felt a golden light suddenly flash in front of them, and at the same time, with a muffled sound of "bang!", a small black shadow flashed in the field of vision, and directly sank into the trunk of the tree.

"Wow! there's really a mechanism, Brother Yang, look!" Huzi slapped the ground with both hands excitedly, and shouted heartlessly, not paying attention to Yang Xiu next to him, who had already broken out in a cold sweat.

"Damn, fortunately, I'm smart...... master"

Subconsciously swallowing and spitting, Yang Xiu wiped his forehead for a while and was afraid, turned his head to look at Huzi, who didn't know what the danger was, and shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no movement in the iron box, Yang Xiu cautiously turned the box around.

The box was covered with several layers of golden silk cloth, and a ring lay quietly in the middle. Simple ring shape, smooth surface from time to time there are red flashes, like a glow like a flowing fire, at a glance looks like a living thing, extremely beautiful!

Yang Xiu's eyes lit up, licked his lips that were blown by the cold wind, stared at the ring for more than ten seconds, closed the box with a "pop!" sound, and beckoned to Huzi: "Huzi, go and fill the hole, I'll go and see the thing just now!"

While talking, Yang Xiu had already flown up and walked quickly to the locust tree, searching back and forth, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

This old locust tree, which is about a foot in diameter, was shot through hard, and the inside of the hole with the thickness of a finger was full of burning marks. A short finger-long blade pierced through the middle of the trunk and pinned it to another tree a foot away.

Yang Xiu grasped the handle of the short blade and pulled it off with great effort. I didn't have time to look at the appearance of the short blade, so I turned around and filled in the pit with Huzi, covered it with some snow, and ran back to the city with a stuffy head.

After returning to the city, Yang Xiu repeatedly told Huzi to keep it a secret and not to tell anyone about tonight, and then returned to his house to light the candles, and couldn't wait to take out the iron box and short dagger.

Yang Xiu used to be keen on collecting ancient weapons, but this short dagger pierced through the trunk of the tree without any wear, and it was definitely not an ordinary weapon, so he picked it up with an idea. The dagger is dark all over, the shape is simple, short and concise, and it is extremely heavy to start, and it is estimated that there are two catties or less.

The most important thing is that in the middle of the dagger's blade, there is a small ancient Chinese character "利" engraved - only the items used by immortal cultivators will be engraved with Chinese characters!

Similar to the principle of the Dao Talisman, the most basic magic weapon can be made by carving the immortal inscription on the weapon, and with a special method of crafting.

Some ancient treasures that have been handed down since ancient times, or if you can collect enough good materials, you can make powerful weapons, called magic weapons. The magic weapon is extremely rare and powerful, and it is a treasure that every immortal cultivator dreams of.

Now it is impossible to distinguish the specific material of the dagger, and there is only one Chinese character engraved on it, plus there is no unique treasure light of magic weapons, it should be just the most ordinary magic weapon.

Even so, it was a rare treasure for Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu excitedly took the dagger in his hand and played with it, and then he collected it and picked up the iron box at hand.

Yang Xiu was more concerned about this mysterious ring.

Take the ring out of the iron box, pinch it in your hand and feel warm and smooth, and the red light on the surface of the ring is very magical. Yang Xiu had also studied jade before, and determined that it did not belong to any jade material known to him.

The inside of the ring is densely distributed with countless fine marks, arranged vertically and horizontally, very neatly. Yang Xiu was curious, so he simply lit a few more candles and oil lamps, squinted his eyes under the light and observed carefully. However, these fine marks are too small, Rao is Yang Xiu now has a keen sense of aura, and his eyes are still tired, and his eyes are sore and tearful.

But when he saw the content of the seal carving clearly, Yang Xiu couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart: this dense fine mark turned out to be more than 200 small Chinese characters!

There is only the upper half of the exercise, and the corresponding stage of cultivating immortals is the first to ninth stages of the quenching period.

There are many complex and complex methods for cultivating immortals in the world, and each stage corresponds to a different method, and good exercises can greatly increase the strength of immortal cultivators, so that cultivation can get twice the result with half the effort.

According to the different strengths, the exercises are divided into upper, middle, and lower grades, and each can be subdivided into upper, middle, and lower levels. The "Spiritual Introduction" from the thousand-character text that Yang Xiu is now cultivating is the most basic low-grade and lower-level exercises.

It's just that why is there such a treasure buried in your own field?

Yang Xiu frowned and thought about it, and soon had a conjecture: when the Yang family expelled their parents from the family more than ten years ago, they must have known nothing about the secrets on the brocade cloth, otherwise they would not have wrapped the title deed with such a valuable brocade cloth.

Now the other party somehow found the clue, so he tried every possible way to get back the title deed, and through the clues embroidered on the brocade cloth, he was digging treasures in the field in a bright light.

And until now, a question that had been bothering Yang Xiu before had also been solved.

The name of the Heavenly List is an opportunity that every mortal dreams of, but after Yang Xiu passed the entrance examination, the Yang clan not only did not want to win over, but instead intensified to force Yang Xiu to hand over the title deed. With the Yang family's always self-interest supremacy style, it is unreasonable to look at it.

If the other party had known that there was a middle-grade and lower-level exercise hidden here, then all this would make sense. It's just that the Yang family probably can't imagine that the treasure they have been planning for a long time has been obtained by themselves!
