Chapter 87 Almighty Warrior
The tip of the knife picked up, and a layer of cloth was torn apart.
A small piece of animal skin from an unknown beast fell out.
This animal hide is not too thick, it has been folded twice, and when unfolded it is almost the size of a pancake.
Song Changming took a closer look and saw that there was a layer of short velvet on the back of the animal hide, which was yellow and white, soft and comfortable to the touch.
The other side is the focus. There are many complicated lines carved by people and strange and unknown symbols.
There are mostly striped patterns and a minority of weird symbols.
Just looking at it this way, I have no clue at all. I don’t know what is carved into the animal skin, and what the meanings of the patterns and symbols on it are.
Combined with the fact that the edge of this animal skin has irregular marks of being torn and split, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion.
This is the small half of the treasure map that is being actively fought for.
Although this Jinque sect member has always said that the treasure map was carved from a strange stone slab and was broken into three parts.
But now it seems that this is just a lie told by the Jinque sect to cover up people's eyes.
The treasure map was drawn from animal skin, and he kept it with him.
He is also smart, knowing that even if he handed over the real treasure map just now, as an insider and without the greatest value, he would inevitably die.
It would be better to bet on Song Changming's desire for martial arts and be willing to spare his life in exchange for the treasure map.
Unfortunately, he made the wrong bet.
Whether he said it or not, from the moment he provoked Song Changming, the result was that it was destined that he would not be able to survive today.
"Those people in the past seemed to like using animal skins as materials for writing and recording," Song Changming murmured to himself.
However, compared to fragile paper, animal skins, especially those of exotic animals, are more suitable for record keeping and are not easily damaged.
This is the treasure map in front of him, and the same is true for the two sets of martial arts he obtained, the Powerful Bull Demon Kung Fu and the Soul-Destroying Knife.
Putting away the piece of animal skin, Song Changming turned around and looked again at the Dinghai Gang members who were still wailing on the ground outside the alley, with murderous intent floating in their eyes.
He is not a hesitant person. He must be decisive when it is time to be decisive and try not to leave any further trouble!
So, when the patrol came after seeing the signal smoke, they saw corpses everywhere, no one alive.
"Sir Song!" It was a patrol team from Yulin Street.
When they met Song Changming, they immediately recognized his identity as the chief patrol officer.
Nowadays, Song Changming is not only famous in the general department, but also in the patrol departments of major urban areas.
As long as they are not new patrolmen, almost no one is unaware of the rise of Souji to such a powerful figure.
"These members of the Dinghai Gang wanted to harm the fourth young lady of the Xiao family. Their crime is unforgivable. You must dispose of all these corpses."
Song Changming simply explained and left the rest of the finishing work to them.
The assassination of the fourth young lady of the Xiao family is no longer a trivial matter.
After all, his father is the current head of a county.
After believing this, the county guard will be more determined to expel the Dinghai Gang.
After that, Song Changming found Xiao Shuyun and the other three who had retreated far away, and sent them back to the county governor's mansion.
"Captain Song, thanks to you today." Xiao Shuyun turned around and said before entering the house.
"That's where the responsibility lies." Song Changming cupped his hands and said.
When Xiao Shuyun heard this, she frowned slightly and seemed to be whispering to herself.
"I don't like the reason."
Song Changming looked as usual, as if he didn't hear Xiao Shuyun's last murmur.
Back at his residence, Song Changming took out the treasure map and looked at it carefully.
After still finding nothing, I had no choice but to put it away again.
Tonight he eliminated all possible insiders, but that doesn't mean trouble won't come his way later.
He holds a treasure map, which is enough to attract all kinds of demons and monsters to come, no matter how well he hides it.
A few years ago, he had no confidence that he would be able to compete for this treasure with those powerful Jianghu guests.
But now, after two years of hard training, his strength has improved a lot.
He wanted to see if this treasure map was really connected to the legendary martial art.
Now, he has reached the fifth level of the powerful Bull Demon Kung Fu, and he has also reached the third level of the Spiritual Monkey Kung Fu, which cleanses the marrow and strengthens the muscles.
Not only that, in terms of body training, in the past two years, he had collected two more complete sets of body training exercises through the Xiao family.
The silver-backed bear technique is used to refine meat, and the copper-skinned rhino horn technique is used to refine skin.
These two sets of physical exercises are the same as the Spiritual Monkey Technique. They can be practiced up to the sixth level, which is the limit.
This is about the highest quality of body-building exercises leaked from the outside world.
The physical training skills that can be practiced to the last nine realms are all treasures. They are either the secrets of various martial arts sects that are not passed down, or they are the long-lasting important inheritance of martial arts families.
There is basically no possibility of spreading this kind of superior physical training skills to outsiders.
If you want to learn it, those martial arts families don't have to expect it.
For outsiders, the only way is to join these Jianghu sects, make contributions year after year, gain trust, and eventually be accepted as a direct disciple, and then have the opportunity to practice the nine realms of physical training of that sect. And this is no longer possible for Song Changming, who already has an official status.
He is not a Jianghu person, nor can he join those Jianghu sects.
Therefore, these physical training techniques that he can currently find are indeed the best batch, and this is only possible because of his connections to the Xiao family.
Otherwise, even if you have money, it will be difficult to buy reliable physical exercises on the market.
Rumor has it that the imperial arsenal contains many secret martial arts records collected from the world, including some superior physical exercises.
But now he lives in a remote county and is just a small patrol commander of Donglai County, and he really can't reach the North Korean arsenal.
Fortunately, the collected physical exercises are enough for now, so there is no need to be too eager for success.
Now his Brutal Bear Skill for training meat has reached the second level, and the Rhinoceros Horn Skill for training skins has only been acquired not long ago, so it has only reached the first level.
He is still far away from his goal of becoming the quadrilateral all-around superman.
But no matter what, he had already started on this most difficult path of body training and was on the right track.
Then just give it time.
As for martial arts, since the last wave of unexpected expansion, the past two years have only been about making steady progress, and more about digesting the results of that wave of potential stimulation.
The experience value of light body skill has gained 2,500 points in two years.
The Feiyan style sword skill experience value is due to the related characteristics of the 'sword practitioner', plus the soul-breaking sword of the perfection state as the basis, plus the daily limited-time training status bonus, which is a total of 7,000 in two years. Three hundred experience points.
However, since the experience points required for breakthroughs in these two martial arts have been greatly increased due to expansion, there has been no qualitative change in breakthroughs so far.
Especially the Feiyan style sword skill, it is really difficult to practice it to perfection.
If he didn't have all kinds of bonuses and was just an ordinary martial arts practitioner with little qualifications, I'm afraid he might not be able to perfect this skill even after practicing swordsmanship for twenty years!
It has to be said that the super-level martial arts he defined himself is indeed much more difficult to practice than high-level martial arts.
In contrast, the experience value of his Soul-Severing Knife has reached full level again and cannot be upgraded.
Although it is only called low-level martial arts, it has the real power of high-level martial arts!
In addition, the two annual evaluations were not too high, and there were no reward options that made him shine.
Therefore, he chose attribute points for both years.
In the first year, because he participated in the battle against bandits, a major event in Donglai County, and also directly fought against the Three Dragons of Dongcang, his evaluation was slightly higher, and he gained two attributes, which he added to his root bones.
The second year was even more mediocre, with no major events. There was no improvement or expansion in terms of martial arts training or official connections.
As a result, the final reward only had a few attributes, so he simply added a spiritual attribute.
As a result, his spiritual attribute qualifications reached eight points, and his root attribute qualifications increased to sixteen points.
It seems that it is his continuous improvement in root attributes that makes his progress in body refining seem smoother.
He could feel that his body-refining efficiency was indeed improving as his root-bone qualifications improved.
If not, it would have been impossible for him to break through to the fifth level of bone forging in just two years.
Finally, there is the column of his life span. Since he no longer consumes a large number of life spans in the past two years, he can obtain better annual rewards.
Therefore, his life span finally exceeded the 40,000 mark.
Sometimes, in his eyes, his life span is also an important asset that he can use. Now this finance is considered to be well maintained by him.
The next day, in response to the attack on the Fourth Miss, the Sheriff's Mansion moved faster than expected.
The county guard seemed to have finally found an opportunity and directly dispatched the army. Not only did he kill all the Dinghai Gang, he also confiscated all their merchant ships.
The port no longer has a place for them.
As a result, the maritime transportation in Dongnae County is completely decided by the governor.
This is bound to add a lot of money to the treasury every year.
The county guard achieved his goal, and while happy, he also rewarded Song Changming for his meritorious service in protecting him.
Just like when he rescued Xiao Shuyun from Naluo Haolin, he was rewarded with a lot of money, silver and rice.
In fact, Xiao Shuyun has been deliberately trying to support Song Changming in the past two years, move into the county governor's mansion, and work under the county governor's command.
However, Song Changming always wanted to stay in the General Department of Public Security and hone himself on the grounds that his qualifications were too low.
Song Changming, the person involved, was unwilling to be promoted, so Xiao Shuyun had no choice but to give up and not support Song Changming's career for the time being.
Otherwise, Song Changming might have already entered the shogunate of the county governor.
After that, the Dinghai Gang retreated in embarrassment, and the county guard stepped in to take over. This also caused quite a stir in the world of Donglai County.
After all, this is a matter where the government comes in and forcibly intervenes in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, destroying the jobs of many people in the rivers and lakes who make a living by water transport.
For a time, many people were resentful of the county governor, thinking that he had overstepped his bounds, was greedy, and would not even take a mouthful of soup from the meat he ate.
But the county governor doesn't seem to care about this public grievance. In recent years, his focus has been on actively amassing money, and he seems to be preparing for big events.
During this process, Song Changming obtained the treasure map, but no one cared about it.
Perhaps the clues have been broken, and no one knows the true whereabouts of this treasure map.
No one approached Song Changming about this.
