Chapter 1498: Finding the Ancient Map
The thick fog made it almost impossible to see the person standing opposite. Even the high monks who had opened their eyes would become blind here.
With Wushan as the center, the area within a radius of 500 miles was shrouded in this thick fog, which never dissipated all year round. Even in the severe weather of storms, the thick fog around Wushan would never decrease much.
Trying to find a lost jade map in such a large area is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It is different now. With the guidance of the Big Dipper, Ye Xiaochuan can actually identify the direction in this thick fog. The blue light spots that appear on the Big Dipper under the power of the stars represent the exact location of the ancient map, and the positioning error will never exceed one zhang in radius.
This is the charm of high-level magic weapons.
The magic weapons with the five elements attributes are not so attractive. Some high-level magic weapons with remote and indifferent attributes are even more unreplicable.
The Big Dipper Star Instrument is a treasure whose spiritual power is absolutely not inferior to the Changsheng Jue, but it has been in the hands of the Ghost Xuan Sect for more than 800 years, and the righteous sects in the world have no idea that the Ghost Xuan Sect has this treasure.
The Ghost King Sect Masters of all generations, including the ancestor Ghost King Ye Cha, although they have this treasure in their hands, can only activate its spiritual power superficially.
For 30 years, Huangfu has painstakingly studied the Big Dipper Star Instrument, but he still hasn't figured out what kind of existence the Big Dipper Star Instrument is.
As the only person in the world who practices star magic, Ye Xiaochuan, as soon as he got the Big Dipper Star Instrument, he immediately killed the Ghost Kings of all generations and Huangfu. They never saw the beautiful illusion of the Milky Way universe before they died.
Only the star magic power can truly activate the Big Dipper Star Instrument, which cannot be controlled by dripping blood to recognize the master.
Holding the Big Dipper Star Instrument and walking through the thick fog, watching the blue light spot on it getting closer and closer, Ye Xiaochuan felt that this star disk magic weapon should be his.
It was not just the vast universe released by the Big Dipper Star Instrument that made him understand the way of heaven to a higher level. Another point was that he had been looking for a magic weapon with star attributes for many years.
The star disk seemed to be tailor-made for him.
The power of the stars penetrated into the star disk, and the cool feeling made him feel very comfortable. He seemed to be able to clearly feel that there was a Milky Way starry sky inside the star disk.
With the Big Dipper Star Instrument, a special treasure for locating ancient maps, in less than an hour, Ye Xiaochuan had found the whereabouts of the ancient map that was originally lost by Feng Yuyan.
It was an inconspicuous mountainside, which was very different from the location where Feng Yuyan said he had lost the ancient map.
According to Feng Yuyan, he was attacked by the fire unicorn, a strange beast in southern Xinjiang, as soon as he entered the Wushan mist range. In order to protect the ancient map from being obtained by the beast monster, he hid the ancient map under a rock.
He remembered very clearly that it was a valley.
However, the Beidou Xingyi's perception of the ancient map is definitely correct. Even if Ye Xiaochuan is blind, he can see that what is in front of him is not a valley, but a mountainside.
He turned his head to look at Feng Yuyan and said, "Brother Feng, I will give you another chance to confess and be lenient. Did you accidentally drop the ancient map at the beginning, or did you hide it to protect it as you said before?"
Feng Yuyan's face turned red.
Who doesn't want to save face? How can I, the famous left-handed sword god, say that I accidentally dropped the ancient map when I was chased by the Fire Kirin? Then where is my wisdom in my life?
Seeing Feng Yuyan's hesitant look, why don't everyone understand the truth?
Ye Xiaochuan rolled his eyes at him. If Feng Yuyan was not one of the leaders of the seven organizations, he would have started to sneer at him long ago.
After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. After all, he was the master of the Gan Jiang Sword. He had followed his father-in-law through life and death and fought in the three realms. Even if he had no merit, he had worked hard. He should at least give him some face, right?
He said to the dozens of righteous and evil disciples around him: "Don't just stand there, waiting to receive the award? The ancient map is about one or two feet around where I am standing. It was lost two years ago and may be buried under the fallen leaves. Everyone, start looking for it. Everyone, move... move..."
Watching this group of the best young disciples of the righteous and evil sects, all bending down and scrabbling in the thick fog to find the ancient map, Ye Xiaochuan felt more and more that he had the potential to be a leading cadre.
He didn't do it. A leader should have the awareness of a leader. He just needs to talk. How could he, a big leader, do this kind of work of scrabbling dead branches and rotten leaves and getting his hands full of mud?
He fiddled with the star plate with great interest, and then put it into his arms when no one was paying attention.
As soon as he put the star plate into his arms, he looked up and saw Tianwen standing in the mist in front of him, staring at him with a pair of weird eyes.
Ye Xiaochuan laughed dryly, stretched out his hand and took out the star plate from his arms again, saying: "This thing is very heavy, and my hands are sore, so I put it in my arms to rest my hands. Don't get me wrong, I don't plan to take it for myself."
Tianwen didn't say anything, because someone shouted in the mist at this time.
"Found it! Is this it!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw Miss Li Xianyue of the Tianshui Banner of the Demon Cult squatting on the hillside, digging out a piece of something from the soil under the leaves.
After washing it with water, it turned out to be an oval jade piece of two feet square, very thin, only about one inch thick, and looked like a bronze mirror in a woman's boudoir.
Feng Yuyan immediately said: "Yes, this is the ancient map of the jade cave!"
Ye Xiaochuan now has a lot of opinions about Feng Yuyan.
He said: "Don't talk, Miss Gesang, come and see if this thing is the ancient map that your Miao people have kept for thousands of years."
Gesang squeezed in from the outside of the crowd, took a look, and nodded: "Yes, it is an ancient map."
Ye Xiaochuan was about to reach out and take the ancient map from Li Xianyue's hand, but Tianwen took it first, and then stared at the star plate in Ye Xiaochuan's hand.
The meaning is quite obvious, if you give me the star plate, I will give you the ancient map.
Ye Xiaochuan was helpless. He was indeed very interested in this star plate, but he also said at the beginning that he borrowed it for use, and it was indeed inappropriate to take it for himself.
He reluctantly handed the star plate over with both hands, and Li Chenfeng immediately stepped forward to take it.
Yang Shijiu was very smart, and he also stepped forward to take the ancient map from Tianwen's hand and handed it to his junior brother who was the leader. Ye Xiaochuan looked at the ancient map in his hand, and didn't see any lines of road signs. It looked like a very thin oval jade piece that was polished. Didn't the Miao master Gu Da wizard say that this thing is both a map and a key? Why is there no terrain mark on it, and even the shape is far from the key he imagined.
