The morning light is dim.

The four of them did not enter the island in the dark after experiencing the horror at sea, and they rested until dawn before carefully exploring the way.

The goal is very clear, to find a way to return to the mainland, and to try to repair the place where the boat was struck by lightning.

The small island is not big, and I walked all over it before sunrise.

There are no living people, only a dilapidated small courtyard.There is a tombstone on one side, and it was erected in the fifth year of Tiancheng.

Chi Zangfeng didn't understand and asked, when was that?

Ji Bingyan said that the inscription on the tombstone is the year of Wu Zhou in the previous dynasty.

This world has gone through the Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui Dynasty. Legend has it that a strange person entered the world and stirred up the world.

The details are no longer available, and all relevant records have been burned.We only know that the second generation of the Sui Dynasty was in chaos. In the midst of the lords competing for the throne and the rise and fall of the family, the female emperor Wu Zhao won the Ninth Five-Year King and established the Zhou Dynasty, with Luoyang as the capital.

From then on in 270, the emperor's throne was passed on to women but not to men, and many women entered the court as officials and became important ministers.

Until 200 years ago, the Zhou Dynasty was on the decline.

The Song Dynasty was established by Emperor Zhu, whose capital was Kaifeng.Although the emperor who opened the dynasty became a man, the later successors had both men and women, and the rule of taking office for men and women continued.

Only more than 30 years ago, due to the siege of the capital by Jin soldiers, the imperial court lost the land in the north and had to move the capital to Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

"I see."

Chi Zangfeng was educated and did not deliberately conceal that she knew little about history.

A ruler grows and a person shortens.

She was only 12 years old, and she couldn't even afford the cheapest ferry tickets, so she could only hide in the trash cabin to evade fares.Relying on a handful of strength to support himself, it is not surprising that he has not read too many history books.

Such a human design is perfectly logical and self-consistent.

Ji Bingyan would not delve into other people's secrets, and brought the topic back to the tombstone in front of her.

"According to the time, the tombstone has been erected for more than 200 years. I don't know if anyone has been to the island during this period. We should pray that we can find the nautical chart in the small courtyard."

After 200 years of wind and rain, only intermittent information is left on the tombstone. The tomb is buried with a branch of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty who escaped from Luoyang.

The person who erected the monument said that there are no collections in the cemetery, only a coffin containing the corpse.If a latecomer lands on the island, it is a predestined person.Please don't disturb the ancestors in the tomb, you can take all the items in the small courtyard.

The four of them ate some dry food and hurriedly inspected the small courtyard.

No one has forgotten the Slayer threat that lurks in the shadows.

The bodies of those men in black sank into the ocean last night.Do they have allies, what is the force value and number of allies?Where would the lair be, near this island?What will the party do if they don't wait for the man in black to return smoothly?

These problems are like sharp knives hanging above the head, and it is uncertain when they will fall on the head.

Only when they return to the mainland smoothly before being discovered, can this wave of existential crisis alert be lifted.

There are five rooms in the small courtyard, two of which are piled with books and other items.

Zhou Botong and Ji Bingyan went to the big study room, the cabinets in the room were not locked for easy inspection.

The other end was handed over to Chi Zangfeng and Li Chongqi.Because there are not many storage boxes in the cubicle, but they are all hung with rusty chains.

Chi Zangfeng confirmed her statement that she was born with great strength, and found a barely usable stone knife from the kitchen.

Looking at the most fragile part of the chain, it didn't take much effort to break the chain with a violent knock.

After a while of bang bang dangdang, I began to rummage through the boxes.

Chi Zangfeng opened several boxes one after another, and inside were stacks of bamboo slips.

The writing on it is very similar to the writing in the mundane area of ​​the cultivation world where she came from. In Lu Ren's words, it is all official script.

The content of the bamboo slips is very interesting, and it is the secret history of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty that is not known to outsiders.Right now is not a good time to read, you can take it away for a closer look when you leave the island.

"I didn't find the chart, Ah Qi, how is your situation?"

Chi Zangfeng looked at Li Chongqi, and saw that the boxes in his hand were basically checked out, except for a small copper box.

"I didn't find the sea chart either, these are herbal medicine identification catalogs."

Li Chongqi was about to open the last copper box, but he heard Zhou Botong shouting from outside.

"Ah Feng, Ah Qi, come quickly—"

Zhou Botong exclaimed happily, "I found the sea chart here."

This is really good news!

Li Chongqi immediately put down the copper box in his hand, Chi Zangfeng didn't care too much, and went to the big study next door first.

By studying the nautical charts and related preserved materials, it can be determined that the four people's escape luck is really good.

Previously, Ji Bingyan could deduce that their old lair was not far from the place where the massacre occurred through the stock of fresh water stored in the boat of the men in black.

Now comparing the sea chart, it can be determined that the eligible islands are all concentrated in one area, which is exactly the circle of the small island where they are currently located.

"As you can see in the picture, there are three other islands near the small island where we are."

Li Chongqi estimated the sailing time, "According to the normal sailing speed, it only takes one day to reach each other's location."

What does that mean?

The lair of the black-clothed massacre is most likely next door!

"Don't just think of the bad."

Zhou Botong saw that the atmosphere was not right, but he was more optimistic, "No matter how close those men in black are, they never found the island before, and that's why the collection in the small courtyard survived. They couldn't find it before, and they might not find it now."

Regardless of optimism or pessimism, with the chart and the weather allowing the ship to sail, it is the best choice to leave as soon as possible.

Repair ships and prepare food.

The four of them were very busy but did not dare to procrastinate, it was inevitable that Ye Changmeng would leave overnight.

Of course, I tried my best to cover up the traces of going to the island today. Even if the accomplice of the man in black found the island later, he would only think that explorers had landed here many years ago.

In the middle of the night, the sea stretches as far as the eye can see.

A ship headed rapidly towards the mainland.

The other ship is full of men in black, ready to find out the whereabouts of the accomplices who did not come back last night, and who dared to hinder their plan to steal money.

No one knew that the two ships were once separated by only a hundred miles, and they would collide head-on if they deviated slightly.

However, Li Chongqi accurately guided the way according to the chart, and Chi Zangfeng drove the boat to the extreme speed, unknowingly leaving the danger far behind.

The two ships went in opposite directions and could never meet again.

Three days later, the setting sun slanted.

Near Fuzhou Port, a boat was completely smashed and burned, and four people drove into the city in a donkey cart.

So far, the catastrophe at sea has come to an end.

What made Zhou Botong even more happy was that the residual poison of Su Qingfeng was gone, and he was finally able to use martial arts again.

Good things come in pairs.

This time, they not only brought some bamboo slips from the island, but also brought back a pack of gold ingots, roughly over 100 taels.

This sum of money is only a small change for the wealthy businessman, but it is a timely rain for the four impoverished people.

If you have money to hire a donkey cart, if you have money to live in an inn, if you have money to buy hot dishes and meals.The rest is divided equally, enough for the four of them to live a good life for several years.

In the inn, after dinner.

Ji Bingyan and Zhou Botong went out to inquire about news about the sinking of the passenger ship, but they were not very interested in the bamboo slips they brought back.

Chi Zangfeng and Li Chongqi stayed in the room to sort out the bibliography, and they saw the copper box that had been put in the luggage before.

A thin booklet was contained in the copper case.It is not a paper book, but made of silk.

There is no writing on the cover, only a large bunch of golden sunflowers are drawn.

"This may be a record of how the sunflowers were grown..."

Li Chongqi guessed, half of the words stuck in his throat.

Chi Zangfeng took a closer look, this is by no means an instruction manual for planting crops, just read the opening chapter where sunflowers are the most important, and the world is full of yang...

Whoops!

It's coming, it's coming, it's really coming!

I used to hear Master Lu Ren read a storybook, and there was always a famous scene in the story:

On a certain day of a certain year, the protagonist will often not die after falling off a cliff, but instead will pick up martial arts cheats/meet a mysterious person.

Sure enough, art comes from life, and this time she hit it.

Chi Zangfeng was also a little excited, it seemed that her luck was really prosperous.Just thinking about how to practice martial arts, the cheat book was delivered to the door.

Even if you have never read the martial arts mental method, you can still understand this book by virtue of the cultivation method.The Brocade Booklet is a martial arts secret book, and it records a set of extremely brilliant martial arts.

Speechless for a while.

The two of them looked at the booklet intently.

Page after page, and only the last page.

Li Chongqi had just started flipping through the pages when he caught sight of the five words at the top of the last page: Note, I want to practice this skill...

At this time, an accident happened.

Before Li Chongqi could see clearly the words behind his desire to practice this skill, the brocade booklet in his hand suddenly turned into a handful of dust.

The evening wind in August blows slowly.

The dust was scattered on the ground silently, and it was no longer possible to see that there was a cheat book here.

Quiet, absolutely quiet.

This change came without warning, which caught both of them off guard.

Chi Zangfeng and Li Chongqi looked at each other in blank dismay, both a little confused, what is this?

What about good luck?What about the divine art from heaven?It stopped abruptly and got stuck on the most important last page!

After a long while, Chi Zangfeng spoke first to break the silence: "I have heard people mention before that once the silk fabric that has been sealed for many years is taken out and exposed to the air, it may rapidly weather. This kind of thing made us bump into it."

Chi Zangfeng also regretted not being able to read the cheat book, but the book was ruined and entangled and useless.Some things should be fought for, and some things should not be forced.

Isn't it just a peerless secret book, lost, maybe there is a better one waiting for her tomorrow.Even if you don't have one, you can create your own exercises. Master Lu Ren is the best example.

"Hey, fate is not enough."

Chi Zangfeng had already adjusted his mentality, and handed Li Chongqi a rag.

"Anyway, there is no ability to keep an eye on it. It doesn't matter if you don't see the last page. You can't practice martial arts according to the book. Since there is no destiny, there is no need to be demanding. Wipe away the dust, and we will pretend that we haven't seen it."

That being the case, is it true that Chi Zangfeng can't have a photographic memory?

Even if you can, you can only do it now.

If you haven't read the precautions on the last page, you don't know the pros and cons of practicing this martial art.It's better to put it down for the time being, instead of rushing forward blindly.

Li Chongqi looked at the rag in front of him, then at Chi Zangfeng's appearance as if nothing had happened, and really wanted to shake her head.Does this person know that what is disappearing in front of his eyes is a peerless magic skill?

The vast majority of people in the martial arts world will never meet a good martial arts master in their whole life.Wipe off the ashes from your hands with a rag, can you laugh at what just happened?

What's more, who said he can't remember with a photograph.

It's not too early or too late, and I'm about to read the key practice notes, and I can write down the entire cheat book in just one page!

Luck has been incredible recently. The ups and downs are constantly challenging the limits of one's inner endurance. Do you really want to go to the temple to worship?

"Yes. There is no need to force it."

At the moment, Li Chongqi tried to show a relieved expression, how could he lose to a girl of the same age.

Having said that, could it be that the courage to wear weird colorful monk robes endowed Chi Zangfeng with a detached mentality?Does he want to try it?

Li Chongqi was frightened by the sudden thought, and quickly cleared the strange thoughts out of his mind.First of all, he never thought of becoming a monk, and if he wanted to pretend, he would only wear a monk's robe that was white and snowy.

After this mental stimulation, the original full of slander was reduced to one sentence, "The book writer is not particular, and the precautions for practicing this skill should be placed on the first page of the cheat book. Ah Feng, are you right?"
