C1174 Hidden Map
Yang Xuan looked around and sighed with a nod, "No wonder it has such a huge scale. It would make sense if it was a ruin of civilization."
Red Sparrow frowned and said, "But I have a feeling that what it says is a little strange. I believe that an ancient ferocious beast or a devil has appeared."
"But after the old man left a warning, he turned into a golden light and soared into the sky. Soon after, the entire civilization of the Dance Dance was destroyed by the heavenly lightning."
"The plot was not only bizarre, but also like a myth. I always felt that it was not that reliable."
After Yang Xuan heard it, he smiled indifferently and said, "This itself is a fairy tale. The first half of this ancient book is true, and the second half is false."
"Let's not talk about how unreliable the plot is, just the ancient book itself."
"Since the Dance Civilization was annihilated by the heavenly tribulation, then who left this ancient book behind?"
"It's very obvious that the destruction of the Dance Civilization has other secrets. Moreover, someone intentionally concealed it, and the main culprit that caused the destruction of the Dance Civilization is very likely to be the person who wrote this ancient book."
After listening to it, Red Sparrow agreed." As I said, the things recorded on it are too much of a myth story. There's no real scientific research at all. "
"I'll look for the author of this ancient book and see if he left his name behind. Perhaps we can solve this unsolved case from the ancient era if we go along with it."
After hearing that, Yang Xuan laughed and said, "Since the person who wrote this ancient book has already planned to hide the truth, why would he be so stupid as to leave his name behind?"
"That's not necessarily true. What if his brain was fried at that time?"
As the red sparrow spoke, it continued to flip through the ancient book. As expected, it didn't find any information about the author.
"What kind of people are they? They didn't even write the name of a book. Who would they send it to if they had the money?"
The Vermilion Bird complained unhappily.
Yang Xuan was amused when he heard that. He thought that Red Sparrow's way of thinking was really not something that ordinary people could understand.
If the author of this book knew that someone would use this book he wrote to earn money, perhaps even the Great Luo Immortal wouldn't be able to stop him.
"You said that this stupid thing is even worse than the worst fairy tale novel. Why did those royal families put it in that so-called Eight Treasures Box like it was a treasure?"
Red Sparrow suddenly thought of something unreasonable and said, "Since you said that those dried corpses are the top figures of the royal family, they must not be idiots."
"This story is probably so melodramatic that they can't tell whether it's real or fake. And they want to keep it as a treasure?"
Yang Xuan was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was true. He quickly said, "Search carefully and see if there's anything else inside."
The red sparrow picked up the two broken pieces of the Eight Treasures Box from the ground. It looked left and right but still did not find anything.
Moreover, the material of the Eight Treasures Box was very special. There could not be a layer on it.
"There's nothing inside. Could it be that these experts are really idiots?"
The red sparrow complained with some regret.
Yang Xuan frowned and pondered. The Qing Dynasty Imperial Family's special guards definitely weren't idiots. They definitely wouldn't put such an item with no practical reference value in an octagonal box.
Even if this ancient book was worth a fortune from its collection value, why did they bring it with them to carry out such a secret and dangerous mission?
"Let's see if there are any intersections in this ancient book."
Yang Xuan concluded that this matter was not that simple. There must be some hidden secrets behind it.
The red sparrow shook its head and said, "I have already checked it. There are no splints. Could it be that you are thinking too much, or perhaps it is just a coincidence?"
Yang Xuan said affirmatively, "Impossible. The special guards of the inner circle will definitely not do something without a reason. This matter must not be that simple."2
The red sparrow searched through the two pieces of the Eight Treasures Box and the ancient book again, but still did not find anything.
"There really is nothing else. Other than this ancient book, there is only this piece of greasy paper used to wrap the ancient book..."
At this point, the Vermilion Bird was suddenly stunned. It suddenly slapped its thigh and said, "Oil-paper, could there be something wrong with this piece of oil-paper!"
Yang Xuan hurriedly picked up the yellowish oil paper from the ground. He used his finger to gently draw on it. Then, he moved closer to his nose and sniffed. Indeed, he smelled a trace of a strange smell.
"Can your Burning Fire Spell adjust the temperature?"
Yang Xuan asked.
Red Sparrow nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Alright, now set the temperature of the Burning Flame Mantra to the lowest, and then slowly bake this oil-paper. Don't burn it, just slowly heat it up."
Yang Xuan said as he opened the oil-paper.
The red sparrow suddenly seemed a little embarrassed. "Slowly heat it up. This doesn't seem to work. The lowest temperature of my Burning Flame Mantra is more than 700 degrees."
Yang Xuan was stunned and immediately complained, "Then you still have a confident look on your face. You almost made a big mistake."
The red sparrow straightened its neck and argued, "What right do you have to say me? You just asked me if the Burning Flame Mantra can adjust the temperature, and you didn't say what the lowest temperature was. How would I know what you want to do?"
Yang Xuan was too lazy to argue with this girl. He reached out and groped his body for a while, and then found that he had a lighter on him.
"I forgot about this when I was with you."
Yang Xuan took out a lighter and lit a fire. Then he carefully approached the unfolded piece of paper.
As the temperature increased, the color of the paper began to fade. In the end, a complete map appeared.
"I didn't think that the secret was really hidden on this piece of paper!"
The Red Sparrow exclaimed, "Looks like those special guards of the Internal Affairs Department are really not to be trifled with. To disguise such an important thing as a butter paper, no one would have thought of that. Quick, look at what's drawn on it. Is it the topographic map of this place?"
Yang Xuan looked at the map for a while, then looked around at the surroundings. He nodded and said, "It should be the topographic map of this underground city, but there's only a rough outline. It is not very detailed, but the main things have been marked out."
Red Sparrow also stared at the map for a while. Then, he pointed at a line marked with thin lines and asked, "What's the use of this set of bent lines?"
Yang Xuan looked at the thin line and said, "If I'm not wrong, this thin line should be the map of this underground palace."
"The end of the thin line should be where these things are hidden, even if they have to sacrifice their lives to obtain them."
As Yang Xuan spoke, he pointed to a point on the map and said, "For example, this is the alley that we almost lost our lives in just now."
