Looking at his disciple's face, Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment and said, "Xiao San, take out the map and the stone tablet. I'll help you look for it."
Tang San nodded. He had no better solution at the moment.
He would never tell anyone else about the place where the gods were passed down, so it wouldn't be considered a leak if he let his teacher see it.
Yu Xiaogang took the map, and after moving the bed with Tang San, he spread the map on the floor of the room. In the courtyard where the Shrek Seven Devils lived, each person had a separate room, but the area of each room was not very large.
Yu Xiaogang placed the slate next to him and looked at the slate in his hand while checking the map.
Time passed by minute by minute. After a while, Yu Xiaogang glanced at the map but still did not find the corresponding terrain.
"Is it possible that the scale of the map is wrong?" Yu Xiaogang touched his chin and couldn't help but wonder.
Yu Xiao had just looked at the map Ning Fengzhi gave Tang San, and it was almost the same as the map of the mainland in his memory. But why couldn't he find it?
"The proportions are wrong?" Tang San was shocked and took a step back unconsciously.
If the proportions were wrong, he would have to look for individual maps of each coastal city. There were many coastal cities in the two empires, and who knew when he would be able to collect all the maps.
"This place where the gods inherit is really hard to find. That's right, if it is easily found, it may not be a powerful god." Tang San comforted himself.
Little did he know that what he was thinking was exactly what the Rakshasa God needed. People often don't cherish things that are easily obtained; things that are obtained after going through thousands of hardships and dangers are extremely precious.
Several years had passed since Tang San got the stone tablet. During this period, he had been trying to find the inheritance site all the time, but he had never been able to do so.
With a sigh, Tang San slowly leaned back.
Right now, there seems to be no better way.
Just as he was about to put away the map, the sharp-eyed Yu Xiaogang noticed something and said, "Xiao San, come and take a look."
"Teacher, have you found anything?" Tang San asked hurriedly.
Yu Xiaogang pointed to the southernmost part of Falx Province on the map. Yes, Falx Province is also a city near the sea. And because it is located in the south, the sea water here will not freeze.
Unfortunately, most of the Falx Province is desert, and the areas near the sea are full of cliffs and many reefs near the coast. This means that ships are doomed to be unable to dock here.
"Xiao San, the terrain here is somewhat similar to the map engraved on the stone slab. Alas~ It's a pity that if the mirror image of the map on the stone slab was turned over, perhaps we would have found it." Yu Xiaogang sighed, feeling deeply regretful.
Tang San felt a little depressed when he saw this.
"Is it really impossible to find the place where the gods passed down their legacy? What if someone got there first?"
Tang San didn't dare to think about it. With the power of the Spirit Hall on the mainland, once they get the news of the inheritance of the gods, they will definitely send people to search for it. Tang San's only advantage now is that he got the stone tablet first. But who can guarantee that this stone tablet is a unique piece?
Besides feeling depressed, Tang San was also a little irritable. When he just stood up and prepared to go out for some fresh air, he accidentally knocked over the ground ink on Yu Xiaogang's desk.
The ink flowed neatly onto the stone slab.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang was shocked and said, "Xiao San, quickly clean the slate. This kind of behavior is likely to be defined as blasphemy against the gods, and it may cause the gods to be hostile."
Tang San just ran out two steps, and suddenly thought: "Teacher, you just said that the route map on the stone slab only needs to be mirrored and folded once, and it can match the map?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded first, then said anxiously, "Xiao San, stop dawdling and bring the rag quickly."
Hearing this, Tang San had a guess in his mind.
He walked to the glove box nearby and took out a piece of white paper instead of the rag that Yu Xiaogang requested.
Then he picked up the pen and inkstone and used the feather pen to evenly spread the ink on the slate.
"Xiao San, what are you doing!" Yu Xiaogang was shocked, before he could figure out the situation.
The next moment, Tang San placed the white paper on the stone slab. It was neither too big nor too small, and the white paper just covered the stone slab completely. After pressing hard and making sure that the ink was evenly spread on the white paper, Tang San carefully peeled it off.
"Teacher, look, is the current route the same as the one on the map?" Holding up the white paper in his hand, a smile appeared on Tang San's face.
There is no place on the mainland that is exactly the same as a mirror image. This stone slab is not a road map at all, but it is somewhat similar to the function of a seal.
Yu Xiaogang took the paper, compared it with the map, and laughed: "Haha, Xiaosan, you are worthy of being my disciple. Now it seems that you are right. This stone slab is just a rubbing version. This is the real map."
Tang San smiled. Now he could finally determine the location of the God's inheritance land. However, Falx Province was at the southernmost tip of Xingluo Empire, 108,000 miles away from Carlo City. It would take at least four months to travel there by carriage.
They have important things to do now, and going there is simply not realistic.
"Xiao San, you did a great job resisting temptation. According to the scale of the map, this inheritance site is on an island far away from the mainland. We are not soul-resurrecting masters, and our strength will be greatly reduced if we fight in the sea. Moreover, the soul beasts in the sea are not distributed in clear layers like those in the Xingdou Great Forest. Even near the sea, there is still a possibility of a hundred thousand year soul beast appearing."
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang walked to the window, his hands behind his back. He raised his forehead slightly, looked out the window, and said, "Xiao San, you must have at least the strength of a level 70 Soul Saint to go out to sea. Besides, as far as I know, there is no port in Falx Province. Without a sturdy and reliable ship, it is impossible to reach there."
"We need to think carefully about the route and the ship, and we will need a lot of gold soul coins. Xiaosan, for the sake of the gods' inheritance, before breaking through to the Soul Saint, you should accumulate as much wealth as possible to prepare for the subsequent plans."
Tang San put away the map and said solemnly: "Teacher, I understand. Haste will not allow me to reach there. On the contrary, negligence may cause me to be buried at sea."
Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked to Tang San, patted his shoulder and said, "Xiao San, I watched you grow up. This matter is of great importance. I can find a way to help you find out the route and the ship; the rest can only be left to you."
Even if Yu Xiaogang didn't remind him, Tang San would have understood this. He was not a teenager, his age in both his past and present lives combined was not much younger than Yu Xiaogang's.
…
That night Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong returned to the courtyard.
The Li clan disciple who was guarding the gate saw that they were in a bad mood and reported the situation to Tang San.
Tang San understood that Ning Fengzhi would never get angry for no reason. Moreover, he did not go to find Ou Ya and Hai Mao, which proved that the problem was with them.
It is worth mentioning that Ou Ya and Hai Mao, like Ning Feng Zhi and Gu Rong, were assigned to the two largest courtyards in the complex.
Haimao and Ou Ya usually gather information in the city and do not take any other actions.
Soon, Tang San took the initiative to find Ning Fengzhi.
"Uncle Ning, I have something to talk to you about. How are you..." At this point, Tang San suddenly paused, then showed a surprised attitude, "Uncle Ning, you and Senior Gu don't look very good, what happened?"
Tang San would definitely not bring the report of the Li clan disciples to the table. Of course, Ning Fengzhi could open the space channel with Gu Rong and leave, but he still chose to walk out of the main gate in a swagger, and it is not ruled out that he has the intention of testing.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
However, compared to trying to gain the loyalty of the Li clan, Ning Fengzhi was worried about other things at the moment.
With a sigh, Gu Rong said, "We are being targeted."
"Who?" Tang San's heart tightened.
Ning Fengzhi continued, "During the day, someone from the City Lord's Mansion invited Uncle Gu and I to go over for a detailed discussion. The only good thing is that he doesn't know our identities. Afterwards, City Lord Mal asked to invest in our business in the city, and 20% of the net profit will belong to him."
Tang San said puzzledly: "Uncle Ning, this is a good thing. The medicinal materials market in Xingluo Empire has not been poisoned by the Canaan Chamber of Commerce. It is a good time for us to enter the market now. Now that we have other people's investment, it will be easier for us to seize the market."
Ning Fengzhi looked at Tang San's performance with mixed feelings.
He didn't know if Tang San was really stupid or just pretending. After so many years of contact, he knew that Tang San was not a simple person. If he was pretending, then he needed to be on guard against this person.
Putting away his thoughts, he continued, "Xiao San, City Lord Mal doesn't intend to invest. What he means is to take 20% of the profits as protection money."
Gu Rong said angrily: "This guy will retire in more than a year, and he will not invest his money in us. On the contrary, he wants to use the end of his political career to fight for a good pension for himself. Humph, this is probably just the beginning, and he will probably ask for more in the future."
If it wasn't for hiding his identity, Gu Rong would have killed this guy long ago. Carlo City is not a big city, and the city lord is only a Soul Sect. It's no different for a Titled Douluo to kill a Soul Sect member like killing an ant.
But no, once the Lord of Mal was killed, Yunluo Principality would definitely send people to investigate. Even if there was no evidence, these guys would put the blame on them. If the Xingluo Empire was alerted, it might cause even greater trouble.
Ning Fengzhi knew that he had no choice but to compromise, but he really couldn't swallow this.
When the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was at its peak, who would dare to propose such a condition to him? Now, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was only destroyed but not the entire clan. Although Ning Fengzhi's influence has been declining, he is not something that a mere Soul Sect can ride on.
Tang San was furious when he heard this. He said coldly, "Uncle Ning promised him that he would have to return the money sooner or later after he retires."
This guy retired, and he definitely won't stay in Carlo City with his money. He will most likely go to Xingluo City or some big city. On his way to the city, he was attacked by bandits. Even if the Xingluo Empire wanted to investigate, they wouldn't find anything. Besides, this guy is just a Soul Sect, who would care about him after retirement? Of course, Tang San's idea was also mentioned by Gu Rong before. First, tolerate Lord Mal for a while, and wait until the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect takes root in the city. When the new Lord arrives, he won't dare to do anything to them.
"Xiao San, what do you want to talk to me about?" Ning Fengzhi put away his expression and asked curiously.
Tang San told Ning Fengzhi what he had said to Tai Tan first. He also said that he would take people to the villages near Carlo City to search for some medicinal herbs in the near future. He asked Ning Fengzhi to open up sales channels as soon as possible and sell them immediately after the herbs were collected.
Ning Fengzhi naturally agreed to these questions. In addition to snatching 20% of the profits, Lord Mal would also make things easier for Ning Fengzhi so that the medicinal materials could be sold faster. In this way, he could get more money.
"Xiao San, leave these to me." After a pause, Ning Fengzhi said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early. You still need to check the medicinal materials, you can't go to buy them with dark circles under your eyes."
Tang San nodded slightly, turned around and left the room.
Seeing him walk away, Ning Fengzhi finally spoke: "Uncle Gu, what do you think of Tang San?"
In the past, he didn't think Tang San was any different. But today, for some reason, he felt that Tang San seemed too calm when facing big things. And when it came to killing people, Tang San was too decisive.
You know, even Ning Fengzhi, who has lived for so many years, would carefully consider when killing someone. But Tang San's performance seemed like killing an ant, insignificant.
Gu Rong snorted coldly and said, "This guy probably inherited Tang Hao's temper. He looks rough on the outside, but he is very thoughtful."
"The disciples of the Power Clan had clearly reported our situation to him, but he asked unnecessarily when he came in. I think it is 50% possible that Yu Xiaogang taught him this, and 50% that he thought of it himself."
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment and decided, "Forget it, Uncle Gu. Don't employ a person you doubt, and don't doubt a person you employ. Since we have decided to bet on the Shrek Seven Devils, as long as Tang San can help us take revenge on the Spirit Hall, this kind of trivial matter is not worth mentioning."
Gu Rong shrugged, he had the same idea. Otherwise, how could he let go of someone like Tang San who was playing tricks under his nose.
"Oh, Uncle Gu, please invite the two Lords here. I want to discuss something with them."
That’s right, Ning Fengzhi was thinking about doing business with Poseidon Island.
I heard from Ou Ya that Poseidon Island is a paradise. There must be high-quality and unique medicinal materials on the island.
