Gorgeous CEO Fell in Love with Me
Chapter 706: The Great Secret Hidden in the Sheepskin Codex
Although it wasn’t the first time Lin Fan had seen Gu Qingcheng’s figure, every time he saw it, a surge of mischievous fire would inevitably rise in his lower abdomen!
Bang bang~
At this moment, a sudden knocking on the door was heard!
"Who is it?" Lin Fan immediately called out.
However, no response came from outside the door, which made Lin Fan frown involuntarily.
Lin Fan hurriedly covered Gu Qingcheng with the quilt and quickly walked to the door. When he opened it, standing outside was Lin Kongxian.
"Is that girl asleep?" Lin Kongxian asked.
"Yeah! She’s asleep. Old man, you’re not drunk, are you?" Lin Fan asked in surprise, recalling that Lin Kongxian had drunk quite a bit at the feast just now, slurring his words!
"A little bit of alcohol is enough to take me down? You’re underestimating me, kid. I was just pulling their legs earlier." Lin Kongxian said blandly, his face no longer having its previous rascal look, now becoming a bit solemn.
Lin Fan knew that as long as the old man had this expression, there was definitely something important!
"Old man, spit it out, what’s going on?" Lin Fan asked.
"Let’s talk in the pavilion!"
Lin Kongxian pointed to a pavilion located on a platform in the middle of a creek not far away, then led the way over with Lin Fan following closely behind!
The night was very clear, with stars sprinkled across the night sky. It was exactly the night of the full moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the round moon surrounded by stars, accompanied by the "splash splash" sound of the creek flowing, creating another kind of mood!
Lin Fan lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, taking two deep drags, clearing his mind of drunkenness.
"Old man, come on, what’s the matter?" Lin Fan asked.
"The ’sheepskin scroll’?" Lin Kongxian said.
"Right here!"
As Lin Fan spoke, he took the "sheepskin scroll" out from his bosom!
Lin Kongxian’s eyes lit up instantly upon seeing the "sheepskin scroll," and he immediately took it and spread it flat on the stone table.
However, the "sheepskin scroll" was now divided into three pieces, with this one being the smallest piece. Other than some ancient writings and a few humanoid drawings, there was nothing else!
"I didn’t expect the Blood Clan to also set their sights on this map." Lin Kongxian said with a frown.
"Map?"
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows in surprise, a bit puzzled!
"That’s right! Actually, the ’sheepskin scroll’ records a map, which is a route to an ancient tomb, and in that tomb is hidden a great secret about becoming the strongest, an earth-shattering secret. Since the world became aware of it, every piece of news regarding it has caused massive turmoil!"
"It’s just that every time such a news appeared in the past, it was only due to rumors about Wuxuzi, without any substantial artifacts to prove it. But this time is different. The appearance of the ’sheepskin scroll’ will definitely stir up another global catastrophe!"
"And this ’sheepskin scroll’ only contains text. Obviously, the map and route are on the other two maps, and the text here should indicate the location of the ancient tomb!"
Lin Kongxian said after thinking for a moment.
Lin Fan was taken aback, not expecting the ’sheepskin scroll’ to hide such a big secret. He originally thought it was merely a set of powerful Qi Cultivation techniques!
"Then what does this ’sheepskin scroll’ have to do with our sect’s Supreme Ancestor?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"I also saw in the sect’s historical records that hundreds of years ago, the Supreme Ancestor and several of his friends found this ancient tomb, but for some reason, they didn’t obtain anything and returned the way they came."
"Afterward, he and several of his friends drew the whole route map into this ’sheepskin scroll,’ and later, the descendants of his friends fought continuously over this ’sheepskin scroll,’ eventually tearing it into two pieces and disappearing from the Martial World!" Lin Kongxian said.
"Then why, since the Supreme Ancestor and the others entered the ancient tomb, did they not obtain anything?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"I don’t know about that. It seems that a huge secret is surely hidden within the ancient tomb!" Lin Kongxian said in a deep voice.
"Then what about the text on this? Why can’t I find out what writing this is online?" Lin Fan continued to ask curiously.
"It’s a special form of writing because, among the friends of the Supreme Ancestor back then, one came from an obscure small tribe, and that tribe had its own writing. The tribe only existed for a few decades before being incorporated due to dynastic changes, so it’s normal that you can’t find it online. The ’sheepskin scroll’ used that small tribe’s writing for secrecy." Lin Kongxian said.
Lin Fan immediately frowned and said, "Then are there still any descendants of that tribe now?"
"I don’t know!" Lin Kongxian shook his head.
"Damn! Old man, after all this talk, wasn’t it all nonsense? We don’t even know if there are any descendants of that tribe; no one can decipher what these words mean. What’s the use even if we get the whole ’sheepskin scroll’?" Lin Fan said with frustration.
"I’ve already sent people out to search! To be friends with the Supreme Ancestor, one must naturally be an exceptional expert. As a top expert, they would absolutely not let their lineage die out. That tribe surely still has people alive; it’s just unknown where they might be!" Lin Kongxian said.
"Alright! Then let me know once you find them. This ’sheepskin scroll’ is yours to take back. It’s useless in my possession!" Lin Fan said.
However, Lin Kongxian pushed the ’sheepskin scroll’ back in front of Lin Fan, saying, "It’s not safe with me; better for you to keep it!"
Swish~
As soon as these words came out, a flicker of cold light suddenly flashed in Lin Fan’s eyes!
"Could it be that the sect has not calmed down until now?" Lin Fan clenched his fist tightly, making a cracking sound.
As the saying goes, the prosperous clans have many disputes, and the internal affairs of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect are not harmonious either. No matter how powerful a force, it is often not destroyed because of the emergence of a strong enemy but because of internal strife. And the rapid decline of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect over the past century is greatly connected to this issue!
"You’ll know when you go back!" Lin Kongxian spoke cryptically.
"Rest assured! I will definitely go back for the New Year!" Lin Fan promised firmly.
"Alright! When you go back, it will be the time for the internal unification of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect!"
Lin Kongxian’s sudden words took Lin Fan by surprise. He looked up sharply to see Lin Kongxian’s eyes filled with an icy cold, showing that his previous words were definitely not just a random joke; he had been planning this for a long time!
"Does the blade really have to be met?" Lin Fan asked.
"Some people, some things, only when they are eliminated, can be completely settled."
Lin Kongxian said slowly, but every word was filled with a chilling killing intent, and a strong aura simultaneously emanated from his body.
It was clear that Lin Kongxian had held back this matter and these words for a long time, and now he finally found the opportunity to say them. One can only imagine the chaotic state of affairs within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect...
