[Welcome FBI agents from the other world to read this book and provide valuable guidance for criminal investigation]

Zong Xian did not immediately return to the martial arts hall.

The small assistant [Mysterious Chance] is his greatest reliance and secret, and has effects and abilities that are difficult to fathom.

This secret is far from being comparable to ordinary fights and killings, even if it is Qi Shi, he can't reveal the slightest bit, otherwise there will be endless trouble!

Therefore, he can't go back to the martial arts hall to deal with these opportunities and gains.

After thinking about it, he chose a fairly large inn near the Shangfang Market in the north of the city and opened a room.

The traffic of the Chengbei Inn is huge, and there are three sects and nine streams among the people received every day, so although Zong Xian's dress is indecent, it does not arouse the suspicion of the shopkeeper.

With such a fortune, it would be a lie to say that you are not nervous at all.

After entering the room, Zong Xian breathed a sigh of relief as the door closed.

He first spent some broken silver, asked the innkeeper to bring two buckets of water, and went to a nearby clothing shop to buy him an identical set of long clothes.

This kind of clothing is bought in the color of the road, and almost every ready-to-wear store has the same style.

There aren't many styles of clothes that ordinary people can wear.

As for the sons and daughters of those big families, the clothes worn by the brothers and young ladies are much more fancy in terms of material and style.

Fortunately, he went out relatively early today, and now he still has a lot of time to stay outside, which is enough for him to finish the batch of hot treasures in his hand.

When the handyman brought the clothes he wanted, Zong Xian inserted the latch of the prison door and sat down at the square table in the room.

He pulled out the jade-handled short knife and placed it on the table, and then took out the few things found in the wooden box of the secret room from the secret pocket in his bosom.

First of all, it's the skin-like booklet!

This kind of skin is extremely light and thin, and it is not tenacious, which is not comparable to ordinary paper, speaking of which the turtle and crane visualization diagram that Qi Shi asked him to memorize before, it seems to be such a material!

However, only half of the booklet remained, and there were traces of violent tearing open at the back.

Zong Xian carefully wiped off the damp dirt on the surface of the booklet with the back of his hand, and could see the words "Step in the Clouds" written on the cover.

In this way, it completely corresponds to the "Fragment of "Step in the Clouds" in the clue of [Mysterious Chance]!

Thanks to this period of time, he didn't leave behind the homework of literacy and literacy, otherwise he would really have a black eye, and he wouldn't even be able to understand the martial arts cheats.

He slowly flipped open the slightly glued title page and saw a line of small, flowing brown letters.

"I am an immortal in the clouds, why am I dyed with mortal dust."

……

Zong Xian subconsciously recited it silently, vaguely realizing the arrogance of the creator of the cheats.

He couldn't help but flip through it, his eyes gradually brightening.

After reading about a meal, he suddenly closed the fragment, and a complicated expression of surprise and joy appeared on his face.

Of course, this little time was not enough for him to ponder and study, but it allowed him to know the mystery of this secret book in general.

As the name suggests, "Step in the Clouds" is a light skill footwork, which is divided into six layers, corresponding to different martial arts realms.

Each layer has a corresponding cultivation method, and from the second layer onwards, it is necessary to practice with the internal strength of the "Treading the Cloud Light Body Technique" and the corresponding visualization map.

There is only the general outline and the cultivation methods of the first three levels on the fragment.

The biggest advantage of this light power is reflected from the first layer, that is, [one ladder stepping on the clouds], this trick can make people step on the empty and borrow strength, so that they can move freely, and the pace is ethereal and unpredictable.

In layman's terms, it is "stepping on the air" to jump and turn.

At the same time, after mastering "Steps in the Clouds", there will be significant improvements in personal reactions, jumps, and paces.

For example, Zong Xian used to combine his qi and blood in his feet and use brute force to jump.

After mastering the light skills, he only needs to use a very small amount of qi and blood to operate, and he can fly the eaves and walk on the wall, and even tread water.

Coupled with the power of stepping on the clouds out of thin air, when the cultivation reaches a high level, it is no different from flying at a low altitude.

He put the cheats back together, and after calming down a little, he looked at a few other things.

The stack of soft and collapsed paper was all the exchange silver and gold coupons of the Dajin Money Village.

In fact, the material of these tickets is not paper, but a kind of cloth, which is not easy to be damaged during normal circulation, but it is too humid to hold the underground secret room.

Now every ticket is badly defaced, and all kinds of official seals and handwriting on it have become blurred, and it is afraid that if you forcibly take it to cash, you will get into trouble.

Out of caution, Zong Xian still flipped through every ticket, and sure enough, he made a new discovery!

There was a small letter in the middle.

Unfortunately, the letter did not avoid the erosion of moisture, and the handwriting on it was mostly pasted, and only a few of the contents were barely legible.

"Ill-intentioned... Treasure Vault Key... Beware... I... collusion..."

Zong Xian thought hard in his heart, and suddenly he had a feeling of unconsciousness and bullshit.

He picked up the letter paper, and the signature at the end was "A certain Qingzhong", the surname was not clear, but there was a name that could be regarded as a clue.

"Treasury Key, is this the thing you are talking about?"

After putting down the letter, Zong Xian picked up the key that resembled a fishbone chop.

The material is peculiar, not gold or jade, the surface is smooth and not stained, and it is quite strong, it will be deformed under force but can be quickly restored, probably made of some kind of brute beast bones.

For brute beasts, Zong Xian has never seen them but eats them every day, according to Qi Shi, brute beasts are probably various enhanced versions of beasts in the previous life.

He put the key away and picked up the seal.

Zong Xian sighed at the seal and wiped it with the clothes he had changed.

Then press it directly on the back of your hand, and identify the words on it by the indentation.

【Li Dawei Yin】

……

He erased the marks on the back of his hand, and based on the clues he had, it was not difficult to deduce some relevant information.

Combined with the inscriptions on the stone table, Zong Xian could basically conclude that it was Li Dawei's bones in the secret room under the well, and he was a certain gang leader or middle and high-level gang member of the Qing Gang, and the time of the incident was about three to five years ago.

The Green Gang mentioned here is the predecessor of the current Iron Foot Green Gang, which involves the interests of the so-called treasure trove.

The person who attacked Li Dawei should be that Yu Xingfei, and he doesn't know the more specific situation, unless Zong Xian is willing to investigate.

Maybe starting with the Iron-Legged Green Gang, you can get follow-up clues by looking for "Yu Xingfei" and "A certain Qingzhong".

But he didn't want to get into trouble, and he had little interest in the treasury.

Money is something outside the body, as long as it is enough to spend it.

Thinking of this, he crumpled the stack of tickets into a ball, ready to throw them into the latrine later.

In the end, only the jade-handled short knife was left on the table.

This knife is full of ancient meaning, the jade handle in the shape of a bamboo is yellowed, and the feel when grasping is excellent, the blade is more than six inches long, and the body is narrow and slightly curved.

The blade is silvery-gray and the blade is silvery-white, with a distinct color difference between the two.

He played with it for a while, and saw the word "hunting" under the jade handle.

"What a hunting knife!"

Zong Xian is quite fond of this short knife, and is ready to ask someone to make a scabbard so that it can be carried with him in the future!
