Volume 3: Star Tower Chapter 20: Heavenly Secret Diagram (IV)
When Tang Zheng asked this question, he could vaguely see a slightly smug smile on the blurry face of the warrior who looked like Qin Miao.
So, he took another look at the jade pendant on the warrior's waist and confirmed that it should be the style of the "Dragon Swimming in Purple Lake" jade pendant that Lu Huang mentioned. However, because the two were still a certain distance apart, he could not see it very clearly.
But he remembered that when Lu Huang talked about this pendant, he mentioned the character of Qin Miao, the owner of the jade pendant.
According to Lu Huang's description, Qin Miao was a strong contender for the position of the heir of the Tianqin family. He was a very humble person. The reason he owned such a jade pendant was because of the chance he had with Mr. Xu, and he did not rely on any help from any top family.
"He knows about the "Heavenly Secret Map" only because the Tianqin family's Star-Seeing Tower has more information, right?" Tang Zheng muttered to himself. It was really hard for him to imagine that the Qin Miao described by Lu Huang would show a smug look because of such a thing.
Even though it was just a little bit, and he couldn't see clearly, he still felt that the Qin Miao in his impression and the Qin Miao who suddenly refreshed at another exit were a little inconsistent.
When the warrior suspected to be Qin Miao approached, his eyes mainly fell on the jade pendant.
Unexpectedly, the warrior was very generous. Seeing Tang Zheng looking at his jade pendant, he smiled and took it off and handed it to Tang Zheng: "Given by my master."
"Your dragon..." Tang Zheng took the jade pendant and said something, but he smiled and swallowed it back, and turned it into a sentence, "The dragon-patterned jade pendant is very well made."
When the warrior heard Tang Zheng say the word "dragon", his breathing rate obviously quickened a bit. Then, when he heard Tang Zheng utter the last words "dragon-patterned jade pendant", a hint of disappointment could be heard in his breathing.
He seemed to really want others to recognize who he was.
But the moment Tang Zheng's fingers touched the jade pendant, it was impossible for him to do as he wished, because although the shape and pattern of the jade pendant were completely correct, he could be sure that it was a fake!
Although, the value of this fake is estimated to be more than one hundred taels of purple gold.
The materials and engravings were exactly the same as the jade pendant described by Lu Huang. Unfortunately, Tang Zheng's fingers felt at least two places where the base material was not processed so well. The hardness of two places on the top-grade jade was processed too high. Most people might not be able to see it, but Tang Zheng's touch was so sharp that he noticed it almost as soon as he got the jade pendant.
He still didn't quite understand how to carve arrays, but he had seen Luo Fei carve the array with his own eyes. The straight lines and bends of the array pattern were where the trueness was revealed. If the caster had not been taught by a famous teacher since childhood and was not very talented and hardworking, there would definitely be problems at the junction of the straight lines and the bends.
It may be that the place where it should be flat is not flat, or the place where it should be bent is not bent enough, and these two points happened to appear in the jade pendant that the warrior handed to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng did not play with it for too long. He just smiled and returned the jade pendant to the other party, and sighed in his heart: "There are indeed many strange things in the Tianji Star Eye."
He didn't need to think deeply about this matter. If he did, there would be many questions - for example, who is this person? Why is he wearing a fake? What is his purpose in pretending to be a descendant of a top family in the Star-Seeking Tower?
Anyway, those are other people's headaches and shouldn't involve him.
"Because I was quite far away from you at that time, I happened to be closer to the exit. But I remember that when the Heavenly Secret Map was descending, you were all covered in the center. Excuse me, how did you manage to come out so quickly?" After the warrior put away the jade pendant, he spoke directly and felt more confident.
Tang Zheng was staring at his jade pendant, so he took it off directly. Now that he was asking a question, the other party would not refuse to answer, right?
When Tang Zheng heard him say this, he probably knew the method this warrior used to crack the Tianjitu - get close to the exit.
If he had information in advance telling him that the Tianji Map would be spread out with the place with the largest number of people as the center, then as long as he stayed away from the place with the largest number of people, he would definitely be able to get close to the exit.
Tang Zheng remained silent for a while.
The warrior thought Tang Zheng was unwilling to answer, and didn't seem to care. He smiled and said, "I just asked casually. It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it... Everyone in this Star-Tracing Tower has their own secrets."
"Oh." Tang Zheng seemed to come back to his senses and said, "I really don't have any secrets. You just want to know how I got out of here?"
"Uh... yes." The warrior originally thought there was no hope, but Tang Zheng unexpectedly said this.
"It's very simple." Tang Zheng pointed to his ear. "Since it is the Heaven's Secret Map, if I were suddenly trapped in it, there would be no way for me to get out so quickly. But, in fact, the reason why I came out is the same as yours, because - the secret has been leaked!"
The warrior pursed his lips, as if thinking about the meaning of Tang Zheng's words.
As warriors with the same destiny, the relationship between them is more of a competition. If he cannot understand what Tang Zheng said, he will feel that he has lost the destiny.
Tang Zheng's method of leaving the maze was not complicated at all. It was simply determined by listening and seeing.
He squatted there writing and drawing, but in fact he was listening to the screams, sounds of fighting, etc. coming from warriors at different distances from all directions, trying to determine where the dead ends were in different directions from himself.
When he drew the dots and lines one by one , the map of a small area around him became clear.
With this small map, he can determine where this area is in the Tianji Map!
As for why he said "the secret of heaven has been leaked", it was because the entire picture of the secret of heaven was already in the mirage, and he had looked at it carefully when he was looking at the mirage.
From the very beginning, he knew where the exits were, but what he didn't know was where he was.
With the regional map confirmed, he knew where he was in the Tianji Map. Would it still be difficult to get out?
However, even though it was such a simple process, after he told the warrior who left the Tianjitu at the same time as him, he got a chuckle: "Ha...haha, you are really an interesting person."
Tang Zheng spread out his hands. What should he do if people don’t believe the truth he tells?
"By the way, how long did it take you to get to the Tianji Star Eye?" asked the warrior.
How long did it take?
It seems that after leaving the Sun Star Eye, it is not far from here?
Tang Zheng thought of this and smiled innocently: "Sorry, I was just passing by..."
"Hahahahahahaha." The warrior's chuckle suddenly turned into a loud laugh.
