...

When the moon reaches the sky, the voices dissipate.

On such a quiet night, in the guest rooms of the Gao family compound.

A dim oil lamp illuminates less than an inch of a square radius.

Xu Changming sat in front of the table without sleep, and carefully played with the root carving on his hand under the dim lights.

When he first bought this carving, he found something wrong with it and the weight was a bit light.

At that time, he did not miss the sound and took the carving into his hands. The fraudsters didn't know that the carving was abnormal. They just thought it was an ordinary inferior product. In addition, they were afraid, so they did not dare to ask Xu Changming for it.

"I wonder what will be inside this carving?"

If the weight is wrong, it means that the inside of the root carving has been touched.

Looking at the root carving on my hand, although there was a small crack, I still couldn't see the situation inside.

"No matter how many of them are, just open it and take a look!"

Xu Changming made a fuss in his heart and no longer hesitated to get started.

He took out his long sword, which swung like an arm, and quickly exploited it lightly.

With a few swishes, the wood chips flew.

Then the base of the root carving is turned into a pile of wood chips and cut it off.

"This carving really has a world inside!"

Xu Changming looked at the bottom of the root carving in surprise.

After the base of the root carving disappeared, there was no solid wood exposed, but a brass tube exposed.

The brass pipe and the inner wall of the root carving were very closely combined. Xu Changming took a lot of effort to remove the brass pipe from the root carving to prevent the damage.

After taking out the brass tube, Xu Changming put the roots in his hand and carefully rubbed them with the brass tube in his hand.

It was dark yellow all over, with no patterns or patterns on it, and a brass tube with an ordinary appearance.

After careful observation.

Soon he found another ring groove on the head of the brass tube, which looked like a trace of the lid fitting.

With a slight force, the brass tube was opened immediately, and a piece of parchment was poured out from it.

"Why is there nothing?"

Xu Changming opened the parchment excitedly and looked at it, but was surprised to find that the parchment was blank and there were no handwriting or pictures at all!

"Is this... the legendary wordless heavenly book?!" Xu Changming was guessing in his heart. He suddenly thought that in martial arts TV series, treasure maps and other things needed some special methods to appear.

In order to confirm his guess, he did not hesitate too much, and brought tea and applied it to the parchment paper bit by bit with water.

Half a quarter of an hour later, looking at the parchment paper that was still empty, Xu Changming shook his head.

"It seems that this method of soaking in water is not good!"

"Then the rest is just burned with fire!"

His eyes moved to the lights aside, and he might not have hesitated for two seconds. He swung his eyes lightly and instantly put the parchment on the fire.

Although I was very curious about what the parchment was, Xu Changming lacked nothing now, and he was just curious in his heart.

Because he has no desires and no desires, he does not pay too much attention to this parchment. Even if it is destroyed, it will be ruined. It is no big deal.

Flames licked the parchment.

Looking at the parchment paper set against the orange-red flames, Xu Changming's eyes were full of expectations.

"Damn!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the flame touched the parchment paper, the parchment burned quickly and almost burned to Xu Changming's hand.

In case of being scalded, Xu Changming subconsciously threw the lit parchment on the ground. He looked at the burning parchment on the ground speechlessly and disappointedly.

"It seems that the method of decryption is neither water soaking nor fire burning, but a method that I don't know, a pity!"

I looked at the parchment on the ground with regret, and finally the flames slowly went out, leaving only a pile of black and gray on the ground.

"Huh!"

Just as he was about to give up completely, Xu Changming looked at the ball of black and gray in surprise, and a change occurred!

A ray of quiet light rose from the black and gray, and the light quickly spread out and turned into a map.

This light and shadow only existed for two seconds, and the speed could be said to be a real flash.

If you don’t pay attention, it will be fleeting. Even if you notice it, it is impossible for ordinary people to record such a map in two seconds!

But this scene was seen by Xu Changming!

He...is not an ordinary person!

Not only did he see it, he also wrote it down in full!

Recalling the scene he saw just now, Xu Changming thought in surprise.

"The designer of this map is also a talent. He actually uses this method to convey messages, that is, me! Otherwise, most people will really not remember it."

"What does the only two words on this map mean, "Qingling"?"

Although he deciphered the secret of parchment, Xu Changming only got a map that was hidden in something, and there were two unknown words "Qingling" that he had never seen the terrain of the map painted.

Overall, he is confused now!

So Xu Changming soon put this matter behind his mind.

For him now, he does not need any urgently needed treasures. What he needs is a lot of food, such as these martial arts secrets, magic weapons, etc. He is not very helpful to him now!

"Maybe I may explore it in the future, but it is definitely not now!"

With such thoughts, Xu Changming chose to temporarily forget this matter, and then began today's soul cultivation.

The prompt box in front of you scrolls quickly.

"Soul +1, food intake +1, soul +1, food intake +1..."

...

Xu Changming stayed in Gao's house for two days, and during this period he had never seen Gao Yuliang's father and his younger brother Gao Yuyou.

Gao Yuliang said that it was because the family business outside was in big trouble, and the two were busy outside.

On this day, Gao Yuliang general Xu Changming needed everything, and Xu Changming had no reason to stay in the town.

It was the last time I separated.

Xu Changming took several objects that Gao Yuliang had forged forged and thanked him.

"Please trouble Brother Yuliang."

"A small matter!" Gao Yuliang said with a smile: "These carriages are filled with seventy stones of grain, and the carriages have been prepared. Brother Changming will do the same as last time."

"By the way, there is also the bed you asked me to buy for you!"

Looking at the items carried by several chariots, Xu Changming nodded with satisfaction.

"Then I'll leave now, Brother Yuliang, take care of him!" He bowed and said goodbye to Gao Yuliang.

"Brother Changming, there will be a date later!" Gao Yuliang also bowed.

Xu Changming looked at Gao Yuliang's tall body and extremely handsome face.

Unlike the last time he saw Gao Yuliang, although Gao Yuliang carefully covered it up last time, his body unconsciously exuded an aura of irritability and sorrow.

And now from his eyes, Xu Changming only saw a look of relaxation, joy and confidence.

"It seems that he is very confident. With the tiger skin I sold him, I must think that the crisis is no longer worth mentioning!"

Thinking of Xu Changming's mysterious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he turned around and got on the carriage, and several carriages slowly drove away.

"Brother Yuliang, I'm looking forward to meeting again!"

A whisper that seemed to be there and not existed was floating in the wind.

This time he did not tell the story of "Heliao Village" behind the scenes, because he had no limits on his words, and even if he spoke, he would not have any effect.

Just as the two bandits said last time, their village leader was very powerful and no one could resist except the county magistrate.

Even if the Gao family knew who was behind the scenes, they still couldn't stop the attack of Heiliao Village because their strength was not on the same level.

Moreover, Xu Changming had his own plans, so it was even more impossible for him to tell Gao Yuliang the true identity of the person behind him in advance.

However, for the sake of friendship with Gao Yuliang, he would give the Gao family a bite of soup when eating meat!
