The tip of the knife picked up a layer of cloth and tore it open.

A small piece of hide of some unknown beast fell out.

The hide was not very thick. It was folded twice. When it was spread out, it was about the size of a pancake.

Song Changming took a closer look. There was a layer of short fur on the back of the hide, yellow and white, soft and comfortable to touch.

The other side was the key point. There were many complicated patterns and strange unknown symbols carved by humans.

Most of the patterns were strip-shaped, and the strange symbols accounted for a few.

Just looking at it like this, there was no clue at all. I don’t know what was carved in this hide, and what the patterns and symbols on it meant.

Combined with the irregular traces of tearing and cracking on the edge of this hide, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion.

This is the small half of the treasure map that people are actively fighting for.

Although the people of Jinquemen have always said that the treasure map was carved from a strange stone slab and was broken into three pieces by someone.

But now it seems that this is just a lie that the people of Jinque Sect told to cover up their tracks.

The treasure map was drawn with animal skins, and he kept it with him.

He was smart, knowing that even if he handed over the real treasure map, he would inevitably die as an insider and without the greatest value.

It would be better to bet on Song Changming's desire for martial arts, and be willing to spare his life in exchange for the treasure map.

But unfortunately, he made a wrong bet.

Whether he said it or not, from the moment he provoked Song Changming, the result was that he was destined to have difficulty surviving today.

"Those people in the past seemed to like to use animal skins as materials for writing and recording," Song Changming muttered to himself.

However, compared to fragile paper, animal skins are indeed animal skins, especially those of exotic animals, which are more suitable for recording and sealing, and are not easy to be damaged.

This is the case with the treasure map in front of him, and the two martial arts he got at the beginning, the powerful Bull Demon Skill and the Soul-Breaking Sword, are also the same.

After putting away the animal skin, Song Changming turned around and looked at the Dinghai Shui Gang members who were still wailing on the ground outside the alley again, with murderous intent in their eyes.

He was not a hesitant person. He would be decisive when he should be decisive and try not to leave any trouble behind!

So, when the patrol team saw the signal smoke and rushed over, they saw corpses all over the ground, and no one was alive.

"Sir Song!" It was a patrol team from the Yulin Street urban area.

When they saw Song Changming, they recognized him as the chief patrol officer of the General Office at a glance.

Now Song Changming is not only well-known in the General Office, but also in the patrol offices of major urban areas.

As long as they are not new patrolmen, almost no one does not know such a rising figure in the General Office.

"These Dinghai Shui Gang members want to harm the fourth young lady of the Xiao family. Their crimes are unforgivable. You should deal with all these corpses."

Song Changming simply explained and left the rest of the finishing work to them.

The assassination of the fourth young lady of the Xiao family is no longer a trivial matter.

After all, his father is the current head of the county.

I believe that after this incident, the county governor will be more resolute in expelling the Dinghai Sea Gang.

Afterwards, Song Changming found Xiao Shuyun and the other two who had retreated far away and sent them back to the county governor's mansion.

"Captain Song, thanks to you today." Xiao Shuyun turned around and said before entering the mansion.

"It's my duty." Song Changming bowed his hands.

Xiao Shuyun frowned slightly when she heard it, as if she was whispering to herself.

"I don't like this reason."

Song Changming looked normal, as if he didn't hear Xiao Shuyun's last muttering.

Back at his residence, Song Changming took out the treasure map he had obtained and carefully observed and pondered it.

After still finding nothing, he could only keep it away.

Tonight he solved all the possible insiders, but it didn't mean that trouble would not come to him later.

He had a treasure map in his hand, which was enough to attract all kinds of monsters and demons, no matter how well he hid.

If it were a few years ago, he would not have been sure that he could compete with those powerful martial artists for this treasure.

But now, after two years of hard training, his strength has improved significantly.

He wants to see if this treasure map is really related to the legendary martial arts.

Now, he has practiced the powerful Bull Demon Art to the fifth level, and the Spirit Monkey Art for washing marrow and strengthening tendons has also been practiced to the third level.

Not only that, in terms of body training, in the past two years, he has collected two complete sets of body training skills through the Xiao family.

The Silver Back Barbarian Bear Art for meat training, and the Copper Skin Rhino Horn Art for skin training.

These two sets of body training skills are the same as the Spirit Monkey Art, which can only be practiced to the sixth level at most, which is the limit.

The highest quality of the body training skills that have been circulated in the outside world is almost here.

The body training skills that can be practiced to the last nine levels are all treasures, either the secrets of various martial arts sects, or the important inheritance of martial arts families that have been enduring for a long time.

This kind of superior body-refining skills with a good background basically have no possibility of being passed on to outsiders.

Those martial arts families don’t have to hope to learn them.

For outsiders, the only way is to join these martial arts sects, make contributions year after year, win trust, and finally be accepted as a personal disciple, so that they have the opportunity to practice the nine-level body-refining skills of the sect.

And this is impossible for Song Changming, who already has an official position.

He is not a martial arts person, and he can’t join those martial arts sects.

Therefore, the body-refining skills he can find now are indeed the best ones, and he can only collect them because he has the connection with the Xiao family.

Otherwise, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy reliable body-refining skills on the market.

It is said that the imperial arsenal contains many secret records of martial arts collected from the martial arts world, including some superior body-building exercises.

But he is now living in a remote county, just a small patrol chief of Donglai County, and can't reach the imperial arsenal.

Fortunately, the body-building exercises collected are enough for the moment, so there is no need to rush for success.

Now his barbarian bear skill for training meat has reached the second level, and the rhinoceros horn skill for training skin has only been trained to the first level because it was obtained not long ago.

He is still far from his goal of becoming a quadrilateral all-round superman.

But no matter what, he has started this most difficult body-building road and is on the right track.

The next step is to leave it to time.

As for martial arts, since the last wave of unexpected expansion, the past two years have been just steady progress, and more of the results of digesting the results of that wave of potential stimulation.

The experience value of light body skills has been 2,500 points in two years.

As for the Feiyan-style swordsmanship, due to the relevant characteristics of the ‘sword practitioner’, plus the perfect state of the Soul-Breaking Sword as the foundation, plus the daily limited practice state bonus, he has accumulated 7,300 experience points in two years.

However, since the experience points required for breakthroughs in these two martial arts have been greatly increased due to the expansion, there has been no qualitative change so far.

Especially the Feiyan-style swordsmanship, the process of practicing to the perfect state is really difficult.

If he did not have all kinds of bonuses, but was just an ordinary martial artist with some qualifications, he might not be able to complete this skill even after practicing for twenty years!

It must be said that the super-level martial arts he defined himself is indeed much more difficult to practice than high-level martial arts.

In contrast, his Soul-Breaking Sword has reached the maximum experience value again, and there is no room for improvement.

Although it is only a low-level martial arts in name, it has the power of a real high-level martial arts!

In addition, the annual evaluations of the two times were not too high, and there was no reward option that made him shine.

Therefore, he chose attribute points for two years.

In the first year, he participated in the great event of the Donglai County, the war against bandits, and fought directly with the three dragons of Dongcang, so his evaluation was slightly higher and he got two attribute points, which he added to his root bone.

The second year was even more mediocre. He did not experience any major events, and there was no improvement or expansion in martial arts practice or official connections.

So the final reward was only one attribute, so he simply added a spiritual attribute.

So his spiritual attribute qualification reached eight points, and his root attribute qualification increased to sixteen points.

It was precisely because of his continuous improvement in root attributes that his progress in body refining seemed to be smoother.

He could feel that his body refining efficiency was indeed improving with the improvement of his root bone qualification.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to break through to the fifth level of bone forging in just two years.

Finally, there was his lifespan column. Since he no longer consumed a large amount of lifespan in the past two years to obtain better annual rewards.

So his lifespan column finally broke through the 40,000 mark.

Sometimes in his eyes, his life span is also an important asset that he can use, and now this financial asset is considered to be well maintained by him.

The next day, the County Magistrate's Office took action faster than expected in response to the attack on the fourth lady.

The County Magistrate seemed to have finally found an opportunity and directly dispatched the army. Not only did he catch all the members of the Dinghai Sea Gang, but he also confiscated all their merchant ships.

The port no longer had a foothold for them.

In this way, the sea transportation in the Donglai County area was completely decided by the County Magistrate.

This would inevitably fill a lot of funds for the treasury every year.

The County Magistrate achieved his goal, and in addition to being happy, he also rewarded Song Changming for his meritorious protection.

Just like when he saved Xiao Shuyun from Luo Haolin, he rewarded her with a lot of money and rice.

In fact, Xiao Shuyun has been intending to support Song Changming in the past two years, move into the County Magistrate's Office, and work under the County Magistrate.

But Song Changming always claimed that he had too little experience and just wanted to stay in the General Security Department to hone himself.

Song Changming, the person involved, was unwilling to be promoted, so Xiao Shuyun had to give up and temporarily did not make any progress in Song Changming's career.

Otherwise, Song Changming would have entered the county governor's shogunate long ago.

Afterwards, the Dinghai Sea Gang withdrew in disgrace, and the county governor took over forcefully, which also caused a lot of trouble in the rivers and lakes in Donglai County.

After all, this was the government entering the field and forcibly intervening in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, which destroyed the jobs of many people in the rivers and lakes who made a living by water transportation.

For a time, many people resented the county governor, thinking that he had gone too far, was greedy, and was unwilling to share even a mouthful of soup with his meat.

But the county governor did not seem to care about this public resentment. In recent years, his focus has been on actively making money, as if he was preparing for something big.

In this process, the treasure map that Song Changming got was not sought after by anyone.

Perhaps the clues were lost, and currently no one knew the true whereabouts of the treasure map.

No one approached Song Changming for this.
