Chapter 2 Drawing
Cao Jinxing suppressed the discomfort in his abdomen, took a deep breath, limped down the platform and walked towards the thatched hall.
Some bandits had already set up a table and covered it with a white cloth.
Yan Baihu and Wang Xuanying also walked to the table.
The other bandits stayed away.
Cao Jinxing picked up his pen without saying a word and casually drew a sketch of Crouching Tiger Mountain, filling in all the known paths and secret passages with plenty of details.
The three bosses looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
This requires extremely high brainpower, and most people would not be able to copy it so smoothly.
Yan Baihu took the previous piece of cloth and compared the two pieces, and they were exactly the same!
After the map was drawn, Cao Jinxing asked carefully: "Where should I change it?"
Yan Baihu and Wang Xuanying looked at Han Dang at the same time. It was this second in command who had always been doing the brainwork.
“Just one change.”
Han Dang pointed to the second half of the map, a horseshoe-shaped mountain path more than 500 meters away from the village.
There was originally a mechanical crossbow array set up here. Once triggered, the rain of arrows will be overwhelming, fast and dense. No matter how good your lightness skills are, you will be finished.
On the previous map, this area is marked as a key point, and “Cao Jinxing” is circled as a special reminder to be extra careful.
"Change this place into a pit, and keep everything else the same."
"good."
Cao Jinxing is quick to follow good advice and does whatever you say.
He then filled in the other locations on the map as they were, and changed the "crossbow formation" at the hoof's mouth into a "pit".
Three people with six eyes stared at him, comparing every detail, for fear that he might secretly smuggle something in and leak the news.
But unexpectedly, Cao Jinxing was incredibly honest and didn't play any tricks in the only change he made.
The two pictures are literally cut from the same mold.
The three of them began to believe it.
He really doesn't care about the life and death of the Jinyiwei!
Nine truths and one lie is the most deadly!
Once this map is changed, the Jinyiwei will surely be destroyed under the rain of arrows from Tizikou, and Cao Jinxing will become the biggest accomplice.
But he was so calm throughout the whole process, and it was obvious that he really took it easy and ignored the consequences in order to save his life.
The three of them relaxed.
Han Dang then asked: "How do you connect?"
Cao Jinxing replied without hesitation, "No need to contact each other. After the map is completed, just bury it under the boundary marker of Wohu Town at the foot of the mountain, and someone will take it."
"Are they already at the foot of the mountain?"
"The agreed half-month time should be here."
"Who is this person? What kind of martial arts do you use?"
"this……"
Cao Jinxing was extremely sincere: "...I really don't know. I came too early, and I don't know the follow-up plan. In addition, my position is low, and the governor was unwilling to explain. I guess it should be a few hundred households."
"Then they..."
"Please forgive me, the three masters. The Zhenfu Division has 14 thousand households and more than 140 hundred households. Most of them have field missions. I only see them a few times a year. I can't even recognize them all, let alone understand their martial arts."
“…”
Han Dang was silent for a moment, squinting his eyes and staring at Cao Jinxing, watching his expression change.
Cao Jinxing was very calm.
"Chen Long. Take the little brother to the darkroom and take good care of him."
"Yes, Second in Command."
The henchman who whipped Cao Jinxing earlier strode forward, glanced at him, and said coldly: "Follow me."
Cao Jinxing remained calm, limping along and slowly disappeared from sight.
"Why not kill him?"
Wang Xuanying looked at Cao Jinxing's back and asked.
Han Dang said indifferently: "He is just a small pawn. Maybe the newcomer will be a Jinyiwei expert he knows . Let's keep him. He is only at the fifth level of the acquired realm. What if he is useful?"
"Then this picture..."
"No problem. I checked carefully and found that the strokes of the font in the modified part are exactly the same as the others. He definitely didn't do anything wrong."
"Very good, when do we start?"
"In the evening, find someone with a similar build to him and go over to bury the map. During this time, we can also make more arrangements to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Okay, let's do it!"
The three men were ready to fight, vowing to make sure that all the Jinyiwei would never return, either dead or alive.
…
The darkroom is where the Crouching Tiger Gang holds their hostages. During these unusual times, there is not much business in the village and there is no one in the darkroom.
"Get in!"
After opening the door, Chen Long kicked Cao Jinxing, who lost his balance and fell to the ground.
very good.
I will study your death method first...
Cao Jinxing's eyes were filled with anger, but he said nothing. Chen Long snorted coldly, "You dare to join the Crouching Tiger Gang with this little ability? You're courting death!"
He walked out, closed the door, took out a big brass lock and locked it. Cao Jinxing was the only one left in the whole world.
"Next, let's heal our wounds..."
Time was running out, so Cao Jinxing immediately sat cross-legged, put his five hearts toward the sky, and practiced his mental skills.
He held a low-ranking official position and possessed only the most common martial arts skills issued by the Pacification Office.
A book called "Bao Yuan Jin ".
A book called "Kuangfeng Sword Technique".
The former is the Huashan Sect's intermediate internal skill, which has the effect of healing injuries; the latter is a well-known martial art in the martial arts world, with extremely fast sword moves.
Both of these are eighth-grade martial arts, which are very rubbish.
Before playing the game, Cao Jinxing learned about the basic game settings on the official website.
This world is not simple.
Martial arts, magic weapons, and natural treasures are all divided into three grades and nine levels. The eighth grade is just the lower [ordinary] level.
Above this there are the [Spirit] level and the [Immortal] level - just these two words are enough to make people think.
But there is no other way, I can only make do with it for now.
Cao Jinxing held his breath, concentrated his mind, and began to practice the mental method according to his past memories.
Almost instantly, a wisp of true energy responded, rising from the dantian and circulating throughout the body according to the mind's thoughts.
Cao Jinxing immediately felt a huge difference.
Before, his energy exercises were lifeless, slow and powerless, but at this moment, the true energy in his body was surging like a fire dragon, mighty and exhilarating!
This is what "talent" means.
The higher the [Strength], the heavier the attack and the greater the killing power; the higher the [Agility], the faster the dodge and the stronger the parry;
The higher the [Comprehension], the better the learning ability and the faster the brain works; the higher the [Root Bone], the faster the Qi grows and the better the healing effect.
These four items are the most important data in the game.
However, Cao Jinxing achieved perfection in the three innate qualities.
Even his weakest physical strength is still among the best in the world.
If practicing before was like sitting on a bullock cart and moving slowly, now it is like riding a rocket and flying into the sky.
Cao Jinxing's wound scabbed over before he noticed it, and his Qi filled up again, breaking through to the sixth level of the acquired realm...
At the same time, he also gained countless insights into "Bao Yuan Jin" and "Kuang Feng Dao Fa". The things that were difficult in the past became clear in an instant, and his proficiency increased rapidly!
"This is so abnormal, it's faster than I expected!"
If he didn't know that his current talent was the best in the world and one in a million, he would really suspect that he had gone astray.
Cao Jinxing focused on his cultivation without any distractions.
The combat effectiveness soared rapidly!
In the blink of an eye, it was evening. The sun was setting, and golden rays of light shone into the darkroom through the gap in the door. Cao Jinxing opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
The eighth level of acquired nature!
"Those three bandits probably never dreamed that there was no need for the Royal Guards to go up the mountain. Just give me some time and the scum of the 'Postnatal Fifth Level' will send you to hell one by one!"
"They should be setting up defenses at Tizikou now. The village is empty. I will go find the 'insecticide' first..."
The thought of being force-fed a worm made Cao Jinxing feel so sick that he wanted to vomit.
"Damn Han Dang!"
He gnashed his teeth and swore in his heart: "I will force you to drink ten of them! If you fail to get one, I will take your surname! And that Chen Long..."
Speak of the devil; he will appear.
Just as Cao Jinxing was thinking about the henchman who whipped him, footsteps were heard outside the darkroom, and someone said in an unpleasant voice, "Come here and get your food!"
You came at the right time...
Cao Jinxing smiled.
That smile is creepy.
He stood up slowly and walked over.
The small door under the big door made a noise, and Chen Long threw down a bowl of rotten food like feeding a pig, and the stench hit him in the face.
Outside the door, Chen Long had a grim smile on his face as he tortured these prisoners. Watching them wag their tails and beg for mercy gave him a sense of superiority.
Especially when standing in front of those officials who they could only kneel and look up at before, this kind of pleasure reaches its peak!
"Your boss asked you to 'take care' of me, and this is how you take care of me? You are a lackey who takes advantage of others' power and learns it by yourself ..."
There was a faint voice coming from the door.
Chen Long got angry when he heard it: "What did you say?!"
Cao Jinxing lazily said: "Didn't you hear me? I said you are a dog, a dog! A dog!!!"
He spoke louder and louder.
Chen Long was so angry that his lungs were about to explode: "You! Are! Looking! For! Death!"
He had seen how the Second in Command casually captured "Cao Jinxing" and knew that Cao Jinxing was only at the fifth level of the acquired realm and his martial arts skills were very poor. He immediately picked up a machete, opened the door, and started chopping him on the head!
But unexpectedly, while the knife was still in the air, a hand struck like lightning, grabbed his neck, lifted him up and threw him to the ground!
Snap!
Broken ribs! Dust flying!
As the severe pain came, Chen Long immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Incomparable fear instantly invaded his mind!
"you……"
"Shh, don't talk."
Cao Jinxing looked down at him and began to settle the score with him expressionlessly: "You slapped me thirteen times in total and kicked me once. I have always been fair. I will pay back tenfold what others have done to me, so... I will be gentle so that you can get through it, don't be afraid."
Chen Long became even more frightened, his eyes widened, cold sweat poured down his face, and he was trembling.
"one."
Cao Jinxing punched down!
"ah!!!!!"
The shrill screams instantly spread throughout the dark room!
