Long Xiangtian carefully picked up the parchment, but he did not check it directly. Instead, he put the parchment directly into the storage ring and planned to check it in Hua Pavilion. After all, the parchment might contain some secrets, or even the location of the treasures. After all, his dormitory had been broken into many times. It would be bad if someone suddenly broke in while he was checking.
Although the little fat man didn't come, Long Xiangtian didn't wait any longer. Since the little fat man had the key, Long Xiangtian went directly to "Hua Ge".
When Long Xiangtian arrived at "Hua Ge", he randomly found a room and asked Shatuo to help him watch the door to make sure no one came in, and then he walked in.
Long Xiangtian then carefully observed the parchment and found that it was full of traces of time. Although there were no wormholes or anything like that on it, the color had turned quite yellow, and it felt dry. If it had not been placed in the original iron box, this piece of parchment would have been weathered and unrecognizable.
Long Xiangtian carefully examined the contents on the parchment again and discovered that a map was carved on it using some special technique. Despite the passage of such a long time, the handwriting was still very clear.
Suddenly, Long Xiangtian discovered that there were three big words "Jiutian City" written in the center of the map. Although the surrounding terrain was drawn roughly, it was still relatively detailed.
"Is this just a map of Jiutian City?" Long Xiangtian thought of an explanation that he was unwilling to accept. He was unwilling to accept that what he had found after so much effort was just a topographical map of Jiutian City that could be easily bought on the roadside
Long Xiangtian looked at the map again and again unwillingly, but still did not find anything special. Long Xiangtian then called Shatuo out, after all, Shatuo knew more about the appearance of Jiuzhou City than he did.
After taking the map, Shatuo frowned and looked at it for a long time without saying anything.
"Is there anything wrong with this map?" Seeing that Shatuo hadn't spoken a word, Long Xiangtian felt a little expectant.
"There's nothing strange about this map, but..." Shatuo showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and said, "Young Master, were you cheated when you bought something?" Shatuo thought that the map was bought by Long Xiangtian, and asked hesitantly.
"What do you mean?" Long Xiangtian naturally did not give too much explanation, but wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Shatuo thought about it and then said to Long Xiangtian, "This is obviously just a topographical map of Jiutian City. If you want to buy this kind of map, you can buy a lot of it with one gold coin, but yours is obviously a pirated map."
"Pirated?" Long Xiangtian was delighted when he heard that this map was different from ordinary maps, but he still continued to ask.
"Yes, although this map can be considered accurate, it is far from the accuracy required of a map. Especially the place names on it, which are simply randomly marked. That's why I feel that what you bought is a pirated copy, young master."
"Oh?" Long Xiangtian was slightly stunned, and then he ordered Shatuo: "Go and buy me an accurate and authentic atlas."
Long Xiangtian was not originally from Jiutian City, so he was not very familiar with the surrounding geography, so he did not see anything special when he first got the map. Fortunately, he had Shatuo, otherwise Long Xiangtian would probably not be able to see anything even if he looked at it for a whole day.
Shatuo thought that Long Xiangtian was planning to leave the city, and was worried about the voice of "Hua Ge", so he didn't plan to take him with him. Instead, he bought a map and said to Long Xiangtian: "Master, Manager Li can handle it here at "Hua Ge". If you want to leave the city, you can take me with you."
"I don't want to leave the city. Just listen to me and go buy it." Long Xiangtian was too lazy to talk to Shatodo, and his tone was a little colder.
At this time, Shatuo also knew that he had said too much, so he quickly agreed and left. In fact, Shatuo could just leave such a small matter to someone else, but Shatuo felt that he must have made Long Xiangtian unhappy before, so he had to help Long Xiangtian do things himself. After all, Long Xiangtian might have calmed down when he came.
Long Xiangtian didn't wait for a while before Shatuo came over. After all, it was just buying a map, which wouldn't take up much time. After Shatuo carefully handed the map to Long Xiangtian, he stood aside tactfully, wanting to see what Long Xiangtian would say next.
"I just said it in a bad tone, man, why are you so petty?" Long Xiangtian saw Shatuo's timid look, and then he was amused by Shatuo and said unhappily.
When Shatuo saw Long Xiangtian's expression, he knew that Long Xiangtian's anger had subsided. He smiled embarrassedly and sat down opposite Long Xiangtian to observe the differences between the two maps together with Long Xiangtian.
Sure enough, although the two maps were roughly similar, careful observation revealed many differences. Long Xiangtian originally wanted to find some patterns from these differences, but after looking at them for a long time, he could not see anything. As for Shatuo, he did not think there would be anything special on a "fake map", so he did not pay attention to it after looking at it for a while.
In the end, Long Xiangtian, who had gained nothing, saw that the sky outside was gradually getting dark, so he had to put the map away again and planned to return to the Martial Arts Academy before dark.
After Long Xiangtian arrived at the Martial Arts Academy, he suddenly found a familiar figure walking out of the campus. He then walked closer and realized that the shadow was actually Zhang Yerong.
"Ye Rong, where are you going so late?" It was already dark, and Long Xiangtian was naturally curious about what Zhang Ye Rong was going to do.
Unexpectedly, when Zhang Yerong saw Long Xiangtian, she screamed like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "Ah, brother, why is it you?"
Long Xiangtian saw Zhang Yerong's wandering eyes and felt even more strange. If it was someone else, he could not care, but Zhang Yerong was his sister after all. How could Long Xiangtian not care? He then put on a serious expression and asked, "Where are you going?"
Zhang Yerong originally wanted to make up an excuse to deal with Long Xiangtian, but Long Xiangtian suddenly became serious. Zhang Yerong actually panicked and said to Long Xiangtian honestly: "It was that wooden guy Wang She. He said he wanted to take me to the mountain to see the stars." After saying this, even Zhang Yerong, who had a carefree personality, felt a little embarrassed, and her expression was like a child who had done something wrong.
