Volume 1 If Life Is Just Like the First Meeting Chapter 221 Home...
He took a few steps forward and took out a palm-sized cone from a small hole. He squeezed the cone a little harder and broke one corner.
In another small hole on the side, there was an iron knife covered with rust. Of course, there were also some weathered bone tools in many small holes.
After looking around, almost all of them were broken items. Even some of them looked pretty good, but like the cone, they immediately shattered with a slight touch. It seemed that with more force, they would break. Can be completely broken.
"That's all, Hu said it before, and now it seems that it is indeed the case..." Su Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly. After retracting his gaze, he casually picked up the first awl with a corner crushed and put it into the storage. Baozhong ignored it and walked deeper into the cave, entering the second secret room.
With the experience of the first level of the secret room, Su Ming no longer held any hope after entering the second level. However, the moment he entered the second level, his heart suddenly beat faster.
As he looked, there were countless jade stones floating in the air on the second floor. These jade stones emitted a soft light, reflecting the secret room on the second floor in this light. There were even some jade stones with colorful lights. At a glance, It feels extraordinary.
"Could it be that the magical powers of the Tianhan Sect that Tian Xie said are true!" Su Ming was stunned.
These colorful jade stones did not look like fakes. Even if the colors were indeed fake, the sense of pressure and agility emanating from each jade stone made Su Ming feel it very clearly.
His breathing was a little quick, and he took a few steps forward to take a closer look. He raised his right hand to grab a jade, placed it in his hand and looked at it intently. Suddenly, he felt as if his consciousness was being sucked away by the jade. Naturally, a line of text and a shadow appeared in his mind.
But before he could pay attention, the words and shadows in his mind immediately dimmed and disappeared completely.
Su Ming frowned and tried a few more times. But it was like this every time. His eyes flashed, he put down the jade and took off the other one, but the result was the same.
"Is my cultivation not enough..." Su Ming murmured, reluctantly taking off dozens of jade stones and looking at them one by one, but they still flashed in his mind and disappeared immediately.
Even the ordinary jade with only a hint of coercion showed such a change after Su Ming looked at it. Gradually, his face became ugly.
Su Ming was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and finally looked at all the jade stones in the entire secret room. He determined that all the jade stones here were fake, and shook his head with a bitter smile. He walked towards the depths of the secret room, leading to the third floor.
"If the map on the third floor is also fake..." Su Ming remained silent and walked to the secret room on the third floor.
This third-level secret room is very simple, with the smallest scope and some stone shelves around it. There are some bamboo slips made of wood piled on it, and some are animal skins rolled together.
Su Ming stood here and suddenly became nervous. He longed that the map of Nanchen Land that existed here was real, but he was worried that after seeing the real map, he would not be able to find the Western Alliance on it.
This was not the first time that he had this complicated mood. He was at the foot of Anton Peak. He also felt the same nervousness when he borrowed the map from An Dong.
After a moment of silence, Su Ming took a deep breath. Instead of looking at the wooden pieces and bamboo slips, he took out one of the many animal skins here, slowly opened it and looked at it intently.
"No..." There were some runes carved on this animal skin that Su Ming had never seen before. He took one look at it and put it back in place. He took a second one.
"no……"
"no……"
Su Ming took the animal skins and opened them again and again, but every time it was not a map. Until there were only three animal skins left in front of him, his breathing became more rapid.
The second of these three hides. The exposed corner reveals faintly like the texture of the landform. Su Ming hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and picked up the animal skin. He had a strong feeling that the animal skin in his hand must be painted with the... map he longed to see!
For him, whether he joins the Tianhan Sect or worships Tianxie as his master, these are not important. What is important is that his purpose of coming to the Tianhan Sect is to return to the map of the Western Alliance!
Therefore, when Tian Xie said that he wanted to accept Su Ming as his younger brother, one of the many benefits he proposed was that he had a map of Nanchen, and this map was more comprehensive than the Tian Han Sect's, Su Ming was tempted.
He doesn't care whether he can enter Tianhan Sect, what he cares about is the map.
Therefore, Su Ming would agree and recognize Tian Xie as his master!
But at this moment, after he was continuously disappointed in the first and second levels of secret rooms, when he picked up the animal skin, his nervousness reached the limit.
His right hand trembled, and he slowly opened the animal skin bit by bit in front of him. When the animal skin was completely spread out, and when Su Ming's eyes looked at the animal skin, his body trembled. When he got up, there was thunder in his mind, and his ears were filled with roaring sounds.
At this moment, he forgot everything, he forgot that he was in this secret room, he forgot that he was on the ninth peak of Tianhan Sect, he forgot that he was in the land of Nanchen, everything about him was condensed in His eyes turned into gaze and merged into the animal skin in his hand.
It was a broken animal skin. Although it was broken, the map outlined in it was still relatively complete. An ancient and vicissitudes of breath emanated from the animal skin, allowing people to feel it when touching and feeling it. Time on the hide.
This thing should not be hand-painted by Tian Xie, but something that has existed for a long time.
Up there, there are five continents...
Looking at the map in front of him, Su Ming slowly sat on the ground. His eyes showed confusion and reminiscence, his expression was sad, and he gently touched the map with his right hand.
He saw Nanchen on the map, and also saw... the Western Alliance on it...
"Home..." Su Ming murmured. Tears fell from his eyes at some point. The tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes, stained his clothes, and penetrated into his eyes.
The five continents on the map are divided into four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest. In the middle is the fifth continent, where a tripod is drawn.
Nanchen is in the south and Ximeng is in the west, but between these two continents, there is a seemingly uncrossable ravine...
Tears stained his clothes, and some fell on the animal skin. Su Ming lowered his head and couldn't hear the sigh coming from behind him.
"It turns out that you recognized me as your master just for this reason..."
