Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 75 Arriving at Maoshan
"Chirp——"

"Chirp——"

“Chirp—”

In the early morning, with the bright sunshine shining from the eastern hilltops, a group of forest birds chirped non-stop on the branches outside the charity cemetery.

The sky cleared up after it rained heavily for most of the night yesterday.

"Haha—the sky is finally clear."

"Great, Master. Now that the weather is clear, we can continue our journey."

"Yes, we must leave quickly today. We must not get together with the hairy witch again. Otherwise, if a male or female corpse ghost mixes with a corpse demon, it will be a big joke."

Thinking of the corpse demon last night, Ma Wendao couldn't help but shudder.

It was thanks to the presence of Master Lin and his disciples from Maoshan that they were able to handle the situation last night, otherwise they would have been completely doomed.

"Hmph, I, Ma, don't want to stay with you anymore. If you and your disciple hadn't come here last night, how could the following things have happened?"

At this time, Master Mao Xiaoling and his disciple also walked out of the room. Hearing what Master Ma Wendao and his disciple said, Mao Xiaoling immediately snorted coldly and felt more and more displeased with Master Ma Wendao and his disciple.

"Master, stop arguing with them. Let's go see Master Lin and the others." Yu Ji tugged at Mao Xiaoling's sleeve slightly.

"Yes, I won't argue with you. Last night, I was grateful to Master Lin and his disciples. Today, as we are about to leave, I have to thank them again and not be rude."

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiaoling nodded immediately and ignored Ma Wendao and his apprentice, walking quickly towards the lobby in front of the charity cemetery.

Yu Ji also hurried to catch up, thinking that after this separation, she didn't know when she would see Senior Brother Guan again.

"Humph, you're the only witch who knows etiquette, right? Jiayou, let's go thank Master Lin too."

Upon seeing this, Ma Wendao snorted coldly and then took his apprentice Jiayou to the lobby in front of the charity cemetery.

At the same time, in the lobby of the charity cemetery, Guan Shaoqing and his apprentice had packed up their things and were preparing to say goodbye to Mao Xiaoling, Ma Wendao and their apprentices.

"Master Mao, Master Ma." Seeing the four people coming out, Uncle Jiu immediately greeted Mao Xiaoling and Ma Wendao with a smile.

"Junior Sister Yu Ji, Junior Brother Jia You." Guan Shaoqing then greeted Yu Ji and Jia You who were standing behind Mao Xiaoling and Ma Wendao.

"Master Lin."

"Brother Guan."

The four of them returned the greeting, then looked at the master and apprentice who had already packed their things and asked.

"Is Master Lin preparing to leave?"

"Yes, now that it's dawn and the sky is clear, it's time to set off. I'm also preparing to say goodbye to my two fellow Taoists. We met in the mountains and rivers, so we'll say goodbye here today and see you later." Uncle Jiu bowed.

"Okay, see you later. What happened last night was also thanks to Master Lin and Master Guan. If there is anything I, Mao Xiaoling, can do for you in the future, please let me know." Mao Xiaoling immediately bowed in return and said solemnly.

"It's the same for me. I won't say any more words of thanks. If there's anything you can do for me in the future, Master Lin and Master Guan, please feel free to let me know." Ma Wendao followed.

"You two fellow Daoists are too kind." Uncle Jiu smiled and said, "If you are free in the future, you may come to visit my Renjia Town more often."

When he is away from home, Uncle Jiu's principle of doing things has always been to be kind to others. Mao Xiaoling and Ma Wendao are both quite powerful, and the Mao family and Ma family behind them also have some power in the cultivation world, so Uncle Jiu naturally wouldn't mind if he could make friends with them.

"Master Lin invited me, so I will definitely visit him when I have time in the future."

Mao Xiaoling and Ma Wendao agreed immediately upon hearing this.

After all, they saw clearly last night how powerful Uncle Jiu and Guan Shaoqing, the master and disciple, were. Anyone who could kill the corpse demon, even if the master and disciple teamed up, would definitely be a top figure in the cultivation world, not to mention that they were Maoshan disciples and had a top background in the cultivation world.

If they could become friends, both of them would naturally be more than happy to do so.

"Okay, then we'll meet again when we're destined to. For now, let's say goodbye here. My two fellow Taoists, see you later."

"See you later."

"Take care of yourself."

"Junior Sister Yuji and Junior Brother Jiayou, we'll meet again."

Finally, Guan Shaoqing also said goodbye to Yu Ji and Jia You with a smile.

"Brother Guan, we'll meet again later." Yu Ji said.

Guan Shaoqing smiled at her again, thinking that she was indeed beautiful, worthy of being called Zhou Haimei.

Without further delay, Guan Shaoqing and his disciple, Uncle Jiu, left first.

Looking at Guan Shaoqing's departing back, Yu Ji was unable to recover for a long time.

"Okay, everyone is gone, it's time to return to the soul." Mao Xiaoling couldn't help but say this, and then couldn't help but sigh: "When people are young, they are most unlikely to meet someone with extraordinary talent, otherwise they will definitely be unforgettable for the rest of their lives."

Guan Shaoqing is not only a man of extraordinary talent, but also a breathtaking beauty. At such a young age, he is not only as graceful as a jade, but also has the strength of a martial arts grandmaster and a golden elixir cultivator. Who wouldn't be amazed by this?

Yu Ji's pretty face turned red when she heard that, and then she gritted her teeth and looked at Mao Xiaoling as if she had made up her mind.

"Master, I've figured it out. I like Brother Guan, and I want you to help me. After we deliver these female corpses, let's go visit Master Lin."

"Yuji, are you serious?!"
-
"Is this the treasure map of the former Ming Dynasty?"

"I'm not sure if it's true, but I heard that female thief say last night that the dead men in black were subordinates of Prince Duoruo, and their goal was to get this treasure map. Master, you are knowledgeable and can help me take a look. I think the symbols on it seem to involve the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Feng Shui, and astrology. I don't quite understand what they mean."

On the way, after leaving the charity cemetery and separating from Mao Xiaoling, Ma Wendao and his apprentice, Guan Shaoqing took out the treasure map he had obtained last night and asked his master Jiu Shu for help to check it.

After obtaining the treasure map last night, Guan Shaoqing also studied it. He found that some of the text symbols on it clearly involved the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Feng Shui and astrology.

But unfortunately, although Guan Shaoqing had learned some of these things from his master, Uncle Jiu, he had only learned the basics and was far from mastering them. He was also completely unable to decipher the knowledge of Feng Shui, astrology, and Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches on the treasure map.

That's why Guan Shaoqing took out the treasure map and asked his master for help. If his master could really decipher the clues, he would give his master a share of the treasure when he found it.

Guan Shaoqing did not take this treasure map too seriously. He just regarded it as a windfall. If he could find it, that would be great, but even if he couldn't, he would not lose anything. After all, he, Guan Shaoqing, did not expect to do anything with this treasure.

"Okay, since you trust me, I will help you take a good look."

Uncle Jiu had no idea what Guan Shaoqing was thinking, but he was very touched that Guan Shaoqing showed him the treasure map without hiding anything. Because in Uncle Jiu's opinion, this was a manifestation of Guan Shaoqing's trust in him as his master.

After all, this is a treasure map.

Moreover, it involves the wealth and treasure of an entire dynasty. If we really find it, we would be rich enough to rival a country.

If anyone else got this, they would protect it fiercely for fear that someone else would find out.

As a result, Guan Shaoqing took it out without hesitation and asked his master to take a look.

This isn't what trust is.

Then Uncle Jiu also took the treasure map and helped to look at it carefully.

"You're right. This treasure map does involve knowledge of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Feng Shui, and astrology. If we want to find the exact location of this treasure map, we must decipher all of this information."

"Then Master, can you decipher it?"

"I can help you decipher the knowledge of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and geomancy, but I can't decipher the main part involving astrology. It's not my forte."

Uncle Jiu looked at it for a moment and shook his head helplessly. He was quite proficient in geomancy and feng shui, which he had learned from years of helping people with feng shui.

But Uncle Jiu is not very knowledgeable about astrology, and can only be said to have a basic understanding of it.

The text symbols on the treasure map contain very profound knowledge about geography, feng shui, and astrology.

So after looking at it for a moment, Uncle Jiu knew that he couldn't decipher it at the moment.

In order to decipher this treasure map, one must definitely find a master of Yi-shu, someone who is proficient in geomancy, feng-shui, astrology, and numerology.

"However, if you are trustworthy, Shaoqing, you can ask your headmaster uncle and your eldest master uncle for help when you arrive at Maoshan. Perhaps they can help decipher it. Your headmaster uncle is the previous head of my Maoshan Yishu lineage. He is proficient in Yishu and has extraordinary attainments in astronomy and feng shui. Your eldest master uncle is the previous head of my magic lineage and is also your master's uncle."

Uncle Jiu thought for a moment and said again.

"Okay, then let's do as the master says."

Guan Shaoqing did not hesitate at all when he heard this. Given the situation of his master's sect in Maoshan, Guan Shaoqing believed that it was impossible for him to swallow his treasure.

Besides, he is currently worried about not having a good way to manage the relationship with his master.

Following what his master, Uncle Jiu, said Guan Shaoqing again.

"But I can't let Master and his uncles work in vain. So, let me tell you this: if the treasure map is truly deciphered and the treasure is found, then I will split the treasure with Master. I will take half and Master will take half."

In this way, if the treasure is real and the master has taken half of it, then if Guan Shaoqing asks the master for anything in the future, how can the master sit idly by?

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but look at Guan Shaoqing with a satisfied smile.

"Okay, then when we get to Mount Mao, I'll tell your uncles about this."
