Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 74 Treasure Map, Former Ming Treasure
"What treasure map?"

Guan Shaoqing became interested and continued to ask the woman in black. At the same time, he carefully observed the changes in the woman's eyes to see if she was lying.

"A treasure map of the former Ming Dynasty treasure."

"Pre-Ming Dynasty treasure?"

"It's said that when the Qing invaded the Central Plains, the former Ming emperor ordered a large portion of the Ming's treasures to be secretly buried, leaving only a treasure map that could lead to the treasure for his trusted subordinates to take away, hoping that future generations would use this hidden treasure to restore the Ming Dynasty."

"For many years, many forces and individuals have been searching for this treasure and the treasure map. The treasure map has been passed around for many years, and although no one has yet deciphered it and found the treasure, it still attracts countless people."

"Some time ago, I heard that the treasure map fell into the hands of a minister in the capital. The minister knew that if the news leaked out, he would lose the treasure map and it might even cause disaster. So he hid the treasure map in a secret letter and sent a palace guard to take the secret letter out of the capital."

"The Imperial Guard rushed all the way to Yangzhou with the secret letter. However, while having a tryst with his lover, he was discovered and poisoned by Prince Duolo's men. Prince Duolo's men were worried that the news would cause more power struggles, so they immediately handed the bodies of the Imperial Guard and his lover to two teams of corpse-carriers, the Nanmao and Beima, who happened to be passing by. Unexpectedly, the secret letter was still not found at the residence of the Imperial Guard and his lover, so they suspect that the secret letter is still with the Imperial Guard or his lover."

So these people set their sights on the bodies of the imperial guards and their lovers.

Guan Shaoqing immediately understood everything when he heard this, and then looked at the woman in black and said.

"Where's the secret treasure map? Take it out."

"What do you mean, do you think the treasure map is with me?!"

The black-clad woman's expression changed instantly when she heard Guan Shaoqing's words.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have arrived before all of us. So if the secret treasure map is not with you, then who else could it be?" Guan Shaoqing said without changing his expression. He was sure that the secret treasure map was with the woman in black. After all, she was the first to arrive and discover the bodies of the palace guard and his lover.

Justified and convincing.

The woman in black cried out in injustice. Although she was the first to arrive and discovered the bodies of the palace guards and her lover, she did not find the secret letter at all. Moreover, not long after she arrived, the men under Prince Duolo also arrived. After that, the corpse demon appeared and not only slaughtered the men under Prince Duolo, but also ate the bodies of her parents, palace guards and her lover.

In this situation, she had no chance of finding the secret treasure map.

"Hand over the secret treasure map, and I won't make things difficult for you."

Guan Shaoqing remained unmoved and said that he was sure that the secret treasure map was on the woman in black.

The woman in black felt bitter when she heard this. According to normal speculation, she was indeed the most likely to obtain the secret treasure map. After all, she was the first to find the bodies of the palace guard and his lover.

But the problem is that she really didn't find it.

"I said I didn't find it, do you believe me?" The woman in black looked at Guan Shaoqing with a bitter expression.

Guan Shaoqing didn't say anything this time, but the look in his eyes when he looked at the woman in black said it all.

Do you think I believe it?
The two of them stared at each other in a stalemate for a while.

"I don't like to attack women, but that doesn't mean I won't." Guan Shaoqing said impatiently.

The woman in black was completely helpless. She spread her hands and said, "What do you want me to do to trust you? Do you want me to take off all my clothes so you can check them?"

Guan Shaoqing was silent for a moment after hearing this: "Okay."

"you."

The woman in black was immediately furious. She didn't expect Guan Shaoqing to actually agree to it. He had no gentlemanly manners at all.

But he met Guan Shaoqing's calm gaze.

In the end, the woman in black surrendered. She had no choice because she really couldn't win.

"Okay, I'll take it off, but you better keep your eyes open."

Finally, the woman in black gritted her teeth and said the most cowardly words in the toughest manner, then slowly undressed.

As the clothes slipped off the woman in black one by one, her snow-white skin and tall and graceful figure were soon revealed in front of Guan Shaoqing, especially her long, slender and straight legs, which were even longer than the life of an ordinary person.

Finally, the woman in black took off all her clothes except for her bellyband and underwear.

"Okay."

Guan Shaoqing finally spoke up to stop the woman's actions. It was enough, and it would be impolite to continue watching.

"you can go now."

After saying this again, Guan Shaoqing did not make things difficult for the woman in black anymore and turned around and left.

After hearing Guan Shaoqing's words, the woman in black hurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on again. Then she looked at Guan Shaoqing's departing back, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, especially when she thought that her entire body was almost seen, she couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger.

"Damn it, just wait for me, I'll remember you."

She swore that she would take revenge on Guan Shaoqing for today's humiliation.

She had never suffered such injustice in her life. "Is this the treasure map?"

On the other side, Guan Shaoqing also slowly took out a piece of eyelid paper from his arms and spread it out slowly after leaving. On it was a crooked picture that looked like a map but not like a map. At the same time, there were all kinds of densely packed text and symbol-like markings on the picture.

This was discovered by Guan Shaoqing from under a piece of flesh in the remaining clothes of a male corpse when he was cleaning the battlefield after killing the corpse demon. At that time, the parchment was sandwiched between the remaining flesh and skin of the male corpse. It was obvious that the male corpse had hidden it in the flesh when he was alive.

Since a piece of parchment can be hidden inside the flesh, it can be imagined that it must be an important thing.

So when Guan Shaoqing found out, he immediately put it away carefully without saying anything.

Obviously, this should be the treasure map of the former Ming Dynasty that the woman in black just mentioned.

Guan Shaoqing had previously forced the woman in black to reveal the treasure map, but he was just acting to deceive her. Otherwise, if he didn't ask further, she would have suspected him. After all, there are few people in this world who are not interested in treasure.

As for asking the other party to take off clothes.

Of course, that was to act out the whole scene, not because I wanted to see Ma Xiaoling's legs.

Then he returned to the charity cemetery.

"master."

At this time, Uncle Jiu, Master and Apprentice Mao Xiaoling, and Master and Apprentice Ma Wendao had already returned to the charity cemetery.

"Master Guan."

"Brother Guan."

"."

Seeing Guan Shaoqing coming back, the group immediately greeted him. Mao Xiaoling, Ma Wendao and others couldn't help but look at Guan Shaoqing with a bit more respect in their eyes.

"How is it?" asked Uncle Jiu.

"Nothing has been found. Judging from the situation, those men in black should have been killed by the corpse demons. It is unclear what their purpose is."

Guan Shaoqing shook his head. It turned out that he had previously used the excuse of looking for other survivors of the men in black to investigate the situation and that was why he went to find the woman in black alone.

However, with Mao Xiaoling, Ma Wendao and his disciples present here, Guan Shaoqing naturally would not tell the truth.

After hearing Guan Shaoqing's words, Mao Xiaoling, Ma Wendao and others couldn't help but look disappointed, because up to now they still didn't know the reason behind the whole incident.

However, Mao Xiaoling, Ma Wendao and his three disciples had no doubts about Guan Shaoqing's words, because they were there to clean up the battlefield after killing the corpse demon. Judging from the situation at the scene, all the men in black were obviously killed by the corpse demon.

And then I thought, although the matter is still unclear, at least it has been successfully resolved. The corpse demon was killed and those men in black were all dead.

The most important thing is that they didn't suffer any casualties.

Fortunately, they met Guan Shaoqing and Uncle Jiu, the master and his disciple, this time. Otherwise, with the horror of the corpse demon, they would probably all have to die.

Thinking of this, Mao Xiaoling, Ma Wendao and others couldn't help but feel better.

"Those two corpses must be hiding some secrets. Those men in black probably came here for that purpose, but they probably never dreamed that their actions would create a corpse demon and end up costing their own lives." Uncle Jiu said.

"This is what they deserve. No matter what, the corpse demon has been successfully dealt with, thanks to Master Lin and Master Guan. As for other things, they are no longer important." Mao Xiaoling said.

Ma Wendao nodded. "That's right. Everything else is unimportant. As long as the corpse demon is dealt with, everything will be fine. I have to thank Master Lin and Master Guan for this. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would all die here, and who knows how much more disaster we would cause later."

"My two fellow Taoists are too polite. We are both cultivators. Since this matter has come to pass, my master and I will not stand idly by."

"Now that the matter has been resolved, let's take a break while it's still light. I think everyone must be tired after all this."

"Master Lin is right."

"Then everyone should have a good rest."

"."

So, before dawn, the group continued to rest in the charity cemetery.

At this time, Guan Shaoqing also summoned the information panel of the Book of Creation to check the merit points obtained from killing the corpse demon just now.

The information panel appeared instantly.

【Merit value: 319】!
The corpse demon was worthy of being called a corpse demon, and it provided Guan Shaoqing with 310 points of merit.

Originally, Guan Shaoqing only had 9 merit points left, but after this wave, he gained 319 merit points.

In this way, he can continue to improve his internal martial arts skills, and maybe even reach the level of a martial arts master in one fell swoop.
