Tap! The door of the cabin was knocked gently. Zhang Yuan put down the book in his hand, stood up and opened the door. There was a gray-clothed servant with gray hair standing in front of the door, holding a plate in his hand. Zhang Yuan reached out to take it and habitually said, "Thank you." But in fact, the other party couldn't hear it at all. This was his third day on the ship. In the past two days, Zhang Yuan had been staying in this cabin. It was like house arrest. All three meals a day were delivered by this gray-clothed servant, basically two dishes, one soup and a bowl of rice.
Zhang Yuan also tried to communicate with the other party. It turned out that this servant was not only deaf, but also had his tongue cut off! To this day, he can be 100% sure that this warship flying the flag of the Whale is definitely not heading to Nanxun Mansion. After closing the door, Zhang Yuan put today's dinner on the small table. He ate it in a hurry. The taste of the food was very ordinary, and it could only barely fill his stomach. But Zhang Yuan didn't care. He had been calculating the time silently and preparing to escape. Although there were not only mages from Qingyun Temple but also a fourth-level strongman on this warship. But Zhang Yuan could easily get rid of the current predicament by escaping into the water. It was just the same sentence. The longer he delayed, the safer his mother and Liu Qiniang would be. Suppressing the ripples in his heart, Zhang Yuan put the bowls and chopsticks aside. Continue to read books. This was his only way to pass the time in recent days. And this book was very famous. The title of the book was "Jianghu Record", which was given to Zhang Yuan by Liu Qiniang before she left. Most of the contents recorded in this "Jianghu Record" were all kinds of Jianghu knowledge, from the court and the sects to the three religions and nine streams, involving hundreds of secrets and anecdotes. There was even a separate opening chapter that told a lot of weird things.
It really opened Zhang Yuan's eyes, so that he forgot to eat and sleep and was fascinated by it! In addition to these Jianghu secrets, the book also records many methods and means of disguise, changing appearance, sneaking, tracking, and saving lives in dangerous situations. It can be called a Jianghu encyclopedia! Because the content is detailed, the book is very thick. Zhang Yuan read it carefully and almost finished it until today. Interestingly, in the last few pages of "Jianghu Record", there are more than a dozen herbal prescriptions. The main functions of these prescriptions are healing, detoxification, qi circulation, and so on. Quite practical. After reading it, Zhang Yuan felt that he was still unsatisfied and planned to read it again. At this time, he suddenly found that the back cover of the book was obviously much thicker than the front cover. Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and he immediately conducted a careful inspection. He quickly found the interlayer of the back cover and pulled out a stack of silk paper from it! Zhang Yuan opened the stack of silk paper and found a total of three sheets. They were a letter, a map, and a secret of the mind! Zhang Yuan read the letter first. This letter was written by Liu Qiniang to Zhang Yuan. The content of the letter surprised him! Liu Qiniang asked Zhang Yuan not to go to Qianjing to join after he escaped from danger. Instead, he should find a place to live in seclusion and practice. Because Zhang Yuan's current strength is not strong, once he is wanted for escaping, then running to Qianjing is undoubtedly an extremely unwise choice, which will only bring great danger to himself and his mother! Liu Qiniang made an agreement with him in the letter. It will take ten years. Within ten years, as long as Zhang Yuan breaks through the state of entering the spirit, he can go to Qianjing to find his mother at any time. Or he can go to Qianjing at the end of ten years. The woman of Jianghu finally said. She is tired of wandering around. If she doesn't find a master in Qianjing this time, she will settle down in the imperial capital. Liu Qiniang also assured Zhang Yuan that she would take care of and protect Zhang's mother and Xiangxiu. Waiting for his return!
After reading this letter, Zhang Yuan felt very complicated. He knew very well that Liu Qiniang did this for her own sake. Let him have no worries. But ten years! There are three realms for warriors: entering the power, entering the breath and entering the spirit. The lowest level of a strong man in the spirit realm is the seventh level of cultivation. Zhang Yuan is only at the third level now. The difference of these four levels is no different from the difference between heaven and earth! In just ten years, can he really enter the spirit? To be honest, Zhang Yuan has no confidence at all! But then again. If he hides for ten years without being caught, then it will definitely be much safer to go to Qianjing at that time. Time has passed, who still remembers this unknown person? But this is too passive. Zhang Yuan prefers to achieve the first goal. That is to enter the spirit of martial arts! Ten years! He clenched his fists tightly. After a long time, Zhang Yuan's mood calmed down. He picked up the second piece of silk paper. The second piece of silk paper has a map drawn inside, which guides Zhang Yuan to a place where he can live in seclusion safely. Liu Qiniang's thoughtfulness really touched him! The third piece of silk paper recorded a secret of the mind called "Thousand Changes". This is a disguise technique. The trick is to stimulate the strength by moving the blood and qi to adjust the skin, muscles and bones of the head and face, thereby achieving the effect of changing the appearance. The appearance changed by "Thousand Changes" can be maintained for a long time as long as the qi is not lost. Therefore, it is difficult to detect! Zhang Yuan had never heard of such a secret method. It was most likely the secret technique passed down by Liu Qiniang's master! Logically speaking, Liu Qiniang taught him without the master's consent, which was a great sin.
Zhang Yuan looked at the silk paper in his hand, and his heart was filled with emotion. He really didn't know how to repay the kindness of this sister! At the same time, Zhang Yuan also secretly called it lucky. Before Liu Qiniang handed him "Jianghu Lu", she certainly didn't expect that he would only see these pieces of silk paper now. After Zhang Yuan got on the ship, if his personal belongings were confiscated and people discovered the mystery in the book. That would be too dangerous! In fact, let alone the "Jianghu Lu" he carried with him, even the luggage including the iron frame bow were left in this cabin. Zhang Yuan guessed that Master Sun of Qingyun Temple and the fourth-level strongman who were sitting in the warship obviously didn't take him seriously. They didn't think that Zhang Yuan, a small third-level warrior, could cause any trouble on the ship. So they didn't even confiscate the weapons! For such contempt, Zhang Yuan could only say that the more the better. That night, he recited the secrets of the "Thousand Machine Changes" repeatedly and memorized them in his mind. He also memorized the map. Then he lit the three pieces of silk paper with an oil lamp and burned them clean. All the ashes were poured into a clean bucket. Only then did he feel relieved. In the next few days, the warship stopped and started, but still did not reach its destination. Zhang Yuan was in the cabin. Although he was restricted from going out, his ears and eyes were still sharp. He heard that some people had boarded the ship again. He suspected that the new people on the ship were also used as donors for the celestial beings to take over the body like himself!
