Chapter 598: "East China Sea Chart"

"W-bang!"

Like last time, Zuo Yang slid down the smooth and steep passage and slammed into the straw stack below the passage, unscathed.

Standing up and patting the dust on his body, Zuo Yang was already familiar with the road, and continued along the secret road.

Soon, he came to the side of the dry female corpse that he had seen before with her clothes exposed and her legs crossed, and now Zuo Yang already knew that this female corpse was killed by [Yin Yang and Hesan] and did not resolve the toxicity in time, so it was not strange to her dead posture.

Raising his feet over the female corpse, Zuo Yang came to the stone room with three stone doors after a while.

At present, the three stone doors are all open, it should be that after Zuo Yang and Shui Hanqiu opened them before, Qiao Beiming has not come to set up the mechanism again, and may not even have entered this secret passage at all.

After all, for most of the time after that, Qiao Beiming hid in the Shifting Flower Palace to recuperate from his injuries, and this time he didn't need to continue the retreat, so there was no need for him to enter the secret passage again.

Looking at the three open stone gates, Zuo Yang unconsciously remembered the experience he had when he first entered here......

Because the first stone gate went first, it was Shui Hanqiu, Zuo Yang didn't find anything, and he didn't even have time to carefully check the situation here, so he clashed with Shui Hanqiu, who was in the [Yin and Yang and Hesan], and was finally knocked unconscious by Shui Hanqiu, and then he was forced in a daze...... That experience was really a bit of a shame.

And the second stone gate, inside is a forest of steles, only the largest stele in the middle is engraved with problems, and according to Qiao Beiming later, what is engraved on it is the true handiwork of [Shura Yin Sha Gong], but in order to prevent the exercises from leaking out, they have all been destroyed by Qiao Beiming.

The third stone gate is a long passage, which extends to the small waterfall and the stone room hidden behind the small waterfall...... Don't mention it, Zuo Yang is a responsible man, didn't this not only help Qiao Beiming recover his strength, but also help him cultivate the [Shura Yin Sha Gong] to the Great Perfection realm?

"Let's go one by one, search through them all over again and see if there are any other windfalls."

This was decided just now, Zuo Yang took a breath, and took the lead in striding into the first stone gate.

The passage in front was no different from the first time he came, and there was no danger, Zuo Yang used the [Crystal Mirror] to check carefully, and he didn't find any hidden compartments or secret rooms that might have hidden things.

Passing through this ordinary passage like this, Zuo Yang finally came to the place where he first encountered Shui Hanqiu.

On the stone wall on the side of this place, the shocking palm print that was shot out when Shui Hanqiu was poisoned and breathed still gave people a very shocking feeling, in addition, there were many messy traces left on the ground, on the rock wall, and on the top when Zuo Yang fought with Shui Hanqiu desperately "resisting Japan".

At that time, the scene seemed to be in front of Zuo Yang's eyes......

But Zuo Yang doesn't remember what happened after the "anti-Japanese", because after resisting for a while, he was stunned by Shui Hanqiu's hand knife, and when he woke up again, Shui Hanqiu was already done.

Correspondingly, this stone gate was also the last time Zuo Yang came, and the exploration was the most sloppy.

Because when he woke up, Shui Hanqiu said that she had explored everything here, and then immediately took him out of here to explore the second stone gate, so Zuo Yang's exploration stopped at this place and did not continue to go deeper.

And this time the re-exploration is different, Zuo Yang intends to find out every corner, and naturally he will not look back.

Thereupon.

With mixed feelings, he walked through this "anti-Japanese" scene, and turned another corner, Zuo Yang finally saw something he had not seen before.

It was supposed to be the shriveled corpses of two men, wearing distinctive blue robes and small square hats on their heads...... Zuo Yang immortal forensic doctor, through the characteristics of the corpses, it is impossible to judge the age of the two men, but through the hair that will not decay, it can also be judged that one of these two people should be a young man, and the other is an old man, because one person's hair is still black, and the other is silvery-white.

On these two corpses, Zuo Yang found no obvious trauma, so he couldn't judge the cause of each other's death for a while, but the time of their death was obviously longer than the female corpse outside, because the degree of weathering was obviously different.

"These two people may be the bones of the Taoist priests of the Laoshan faction that Qiao Beiming said, right?"

Zuo Yang thought so in his heart, and wanted to continue to grope forward, but there was no road ahead...... However, the stone wall at the end has left a trace of carving that has never been seen before.

These carving marks look like they should be a design drawing, this design drawing is not complicated, and a discerning person can see at a glance that this is actually a design drawing of a sailing ship, and even each part of the sailboat is split separately and marked with the corresponding specifications on it.

In addition to this, there is also an abbreviated map engraved next to the blueprint......

By comparing it with the world map equipped by the game for players, Zuo Yang is enough to determine that this map is engraved with hundreds of miles of coastline near Laoshan Mountain, and in the boundless and endless sea beyond the coastline, the location of some islands is also carved, these islands have names, the names are very novel, and the name of one of the isolated islands is even more eye-catching to Zuo Yang, which is where Zuo Yang once went - Happy Island!

Although Zuo Yang had been to Kuaihuo Island, he did not go by boat, but was directly teleported through the "Kuaihuo Island Pick-up Man" located in Suzhou City...... In addition, the world map equipped by the player does not include the overseas part, so he can't say where Happy Island is on the map, and only now that he sees this map, he finally has a relatively clear understanding.

"It's a sailboat design again, and it's a nautical chart again, could it be that the Laoshan faction really escaped to an island overseas as rumored?"

Zuo Yang was thinking like this.

"Ding!"

A system prompt sounded suddenly, and then a prompt appeared in his sight.

- [Please note that when you discover the "East China Sea Chart" of the new map, will you immediately print it?] 】

"Huh? And this feature? ”

Zuo Yang was also thinking about how to keep the map in front of him, in case he could use it in the future?

Therefore, when I received this prompt, I was naturally happy in my heart, and I chose "yes" without hesitation.

——[The rubbing is complete, the viewing range of the world map has increased, please open the world map to view.] 】

Zuo Yang opened the world map according to the system prompts and took a look, and sure enough, he saw that in the map that was originally shrouded in black fog except for the four main cities and the land part of the area under his jurisdiction, there was already a small part of the sea in the east.

It turns out that the map of this game still contains such an exploration gameplay?

And with the corresponding map, does it mean that he can confidently and boldly explore this area?

Some players have discussed this issue on the forum before, because some players have ventured into the area shrouded in black fog on the map out of curiosity to explore, and after entering such an area, the black fog on the map will gradually open up with the player's pace, but the opening range is so small that from the world map of such players, the area they explore is like a small winding and twisting line hole drilled out of the ground by a gopher, and it is impossible to visually view the whole map.

In this case, players will undoubtedly take many detours when exploring this kind of area, and even inadvertently enter a dangerous area, and finally lose their lives in extreme wrongdoing.

After all, these areas shrouded in black fog, in addition to the unknown road ahead, the monsters inside are also relatively fierce, which should be regarded as an advanced map of this game.

And like Zuo Yang now, he can directly remove the black fog of a certain area on the world map, and then explore this area will undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort, which is definitely a good thing for him...... It's just that how much of a role it can play still depends on the luck and strength of the individual.

But at the moment, these are not the ones that make Zuo Yang the most happy.

To his greatest delight, the chart was not particularly clear when it was carved on a monotonous stone wall, but after it was rubbed on the world map, it was directly painted with colors representing various landforms, which immediately made this part of the chart vivid and three-dimensional.

In the newly generated world map, Zuo Yang can clearly see a dark blue line representing the river extending from Laoshan Mountain to the coastline, and near the coastline, there is a specially marked small sailboat pattern......

What does that mean?

Originally, on Zuo Yang's world map, although the maps outside the coastline were shrouded in black fog, the part within the coastline could be displayed normally, which means that Zuo Yang could originally see the map from Laoshan Mountain to the coastline, and not long ago, when he talked with Qiao Beiming in the secret room of the Shangqing Palace, he opened the world map and looked at it carefully, so until now Zuo Yang remembers it very clearly, at that time, there was no dark blue line and the small sailboat pattern on it.

Therefore, this line and the small sailboat pattern should have been rubbed from this nautical chart on the stone wall, and this nautical chart is very likely to have been engraved by these two dead Taoist priests, and these two dead Taoist priests are very likely to be Taoist priests of the Laoshan school......

This information is connected together, Zuo Yang analyzed it, and there seems to be a most reasonable speculation in his heart that is about to come out!

At the beginning, the Laoshan Taoist priests were forced by the Jin, Song, and Mongolian forces, so they had to make a plan to escape, the plan was to sneak to the sea through this river that should not be seen on the world map, and then escape overseas on a sailing ship secretly built somewhere on the sea in advance, so as to avoid perishing in the gap between the three forces.

But what about the rivers that can't be seen on the world map?

Combined with the waterfall in the secret passage and the bottomless pit under the waterfall that is never satisfied, Zuo Yang has even more reason to suspect that there is an underground dark river below, and the dark blue line printed out of this rubbing is the flow line of the underground dark river...... Naturally, such underground rivers will not be shown on the world map.

Think of these.

Zuo Yang was a little more sure of his previous speculation, and he also had a little more confidence in the idea of exploring the underground dark river this time, if this was the case, Qiao Beiming's plan would be able to continue to be implemented.

For this unexpected harvest, Zuo Yang was naturally overjoyed in his heart.

Then, when he entered the third stone gate and reached the waterfall, he only needed to verify it with his life again to confirm his suspicion.

Thinking like this, Zuo Yang immediately picked up the [Non-Attack] and drew on this chart for a while, completely making it impossible to see its original face, and then finally gave up...... Now that he had finished rubbing, this chart was of little use to him, and of course it was impossible to cheapen others.

What's more, if in the end, he and Qiao Beiming were to "get out of their shells" through this secret passage and the possible underground river, the matter of the secret passage would definitely be exposed, because he would definitely have to retreat into the secret passage in full view, and when others chased into the secret passage and saw this chart, wouldn't it be possible to expose their next whereabouts?

This risk must not be taken!

"Hoo ——!"

After doing this, Zuo Yang finally took a breath, and then continued to use the [Crystal Mirror] to search carefully here to see if there was anything else hidden here.

However, under such investigation, nothing was found.

There was no other discovery, Zuo Yang had to retreat the same way, entered the second stone gate to investigate, although the space here is very large, but it is such a stele forest, the most important part of the stele forest has been destroyed, Zuo Yang has been investigating in it for a long time, still found nothing.

Next is the third stone gate, the bottomless pit under the waterfall in this stone gate is the place where he must venture to investigate this trip, and with the nautical chart just now, Zuo Yang undoubtedly has a lot of confidence in his operation.

It doesn't take long.

Zuo Yang was already standing in front of the waterfall, poking his head out to look at the bottomless pit below the waterfall.

It was pitch black below, and it was impossible to see the exact environment, and even if you could hear the sound of water coming from below, it seemed to be very far away.

At this moment, Zuo Yang had already made up his mind.

He is actually not too afraid of water, he has [cold water playing] in water light exercises, and he also has [breath-holding secrets] in underwater exercises, so it is still more difficult for him to die in the water.

He was more worried about whether he would fall to his death.

But at this point, there's nothing to think about, go you!

Zuo Yang jumped into the bottomless pit as soon as he jumped into it......
