At this moment, Yang Kang's good impression of Wang Chongyang dropped to freezing point.

But after finally getting here, I naturally can’t come back empty-handed. The abridged version is better than nothing. Now I forcefully memorize it and go back to Zhongdu to compare it with Mei Chaofeng’s second half of the book to see if I can piece together a nearly complete version.

Yang Kang struggled to memorize the words. Although they were obscure and difficult to understand, there were still rules to follow. However, some of the symbols were so unnatural that they seemed like ghostly symbols.

Huang Shang is from the Central Plains, and the "Nine Yin Manual" is Taoist martial arts. However, these symbols look a bit like Buddhist things, which is really puzzling.

Yang Kang had no choice but to memorize by force. Although this memory method can be remembered temporarily, it cannot last long. The longer the time goes, the more he forgets. It is like a student reciting something unexpectedly one or two days before the exam, and forgetting most of it after the exam.

There is a person in this world with extraordinary memory, and that is Huang Rong's mother Feng Heng. She used her extraordinary memory to memorize the "Nine Yin Manual" she had just read, and was able to recite it immediately, thereby deceiving the old naughty boy.

But when the "Nine Yin Manual" was stolen by Mei Chaofeng, she tried to rewrite it silently from memory, but in the end she failed to complete it. Instead, she suffered from mental and physical exhaustion and died in childbirth.

This shows that no matter how advanced the memory is, it has a time limit unless the human brain is developed to the extreme.

It took Yang Kang more than half an hour to complete all the memory work. He needed to leave the ancient tomb as soon as possible to find paper and pen and write down the scriptures, otherwise he would forget some of them.

Once the martial arts secret manual is incomplete or the memory is blurred and the words are reversed, it will have unpredictable consequences. Ouyang Feng is a living example.

He has two options to take next. One is to return to the original route and continue to deceive the maid and Granny Sun, and then find an opportunity to leave. This will undoubtedly require more time and be relatively risky.

The second way is to follow the secret passage carved by Wang Chongyang in the stone chamber and exit the ancient tomb through the underground tunnel. However, there is a pool there and you need to dive into it.

It was winter at this time, and the water was bitingly cold. I was afraid that the pond had already frozen, making this road impassable.

What Yang Kang needs is time. He doesn't want to deal with that maid anymore. It's too dangerous. Once the maid sees through his plan, she will probably kill him immediately.

He memorized the location of the secret passage clearly, then left the stone chamber and walked towards the underground tunnel. The ground got lower and lower as he went, and the cold air became stronger, making him shiver uncontrollably.

Half an hour later, Yang Kang heard the sound of water flowing. The water in the cave had not yet frozen. He tested the water temperature, and it was indeed ice cold.

Yang Kang gritted his teeth, circulated his true energy throughout his body, moved his body again, and put his body in an excited state. Then he took a deep breath and got into the water without hesitation.

He knew that the longer he stayed in the water, the more dangerous it would be. If he was frozen, he would become the most unlucky person in history.

It was pitch black all around, and the ice water soaked into his body, making him tremble constantly. However, his strong desire to survive stimulated him, and he rowed hard forward along the current.

He didn't know how long it took, but he felt that the water was getting higher and higher, so he went upstream and touched the ice with water. It seemed that he was already outside the ancient tomb.

Yang Kang hit the ice with all his strength. This was his only chance to survive.

Click, click, click!

Under his constant tapping, the ice began to crack. The sound was so beautiful, like the sound of nature. Yang Kang continued to work hard, and finally the cold air hit his face. He breathed heavily, as if he had been reborn.

He couldn't stay in the water for long, so Yang Kang grabbed the ice and rolled over the ice. At this time, the snow was still falling, and it fell on his face and solidified instantly.

Yang Kang identified the direction and saw the faint light of fire in Chongyang Palace, so he ran over. He couldn't stay now, not only because of the danger, but also because his body was in a stiff state, and he could only keep moving and maintain

warmth.

After running like this all the way, we arrived at the small town at the foot of the mountain half an hour later. Late at night, the residents in the small town had already gone to bed, and the surroundings were pitch dark.

Based on his memory, Yang Kang came to a shop selling the Four Treasures of the Study, climbed over the wall, broke into the shop, and found pens, inks, paper, inkstones, and an oil lamp.

The owner of the shop lives in the backyard, and no one is keeping vigil in the shop. This is at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, within the sphere of influence of the Quanzhen Sect. Even though the house is not closed at night and the streets are not picked up, no one dares to come here to cause trouble.

He lit the oil lamp with the fire folder stored next to it, spread out the paper, melted the cold tea in the ink kettle, and with a flame as big as a bean, began to write down the scripture he had just memorized.

Time passed by minute by second, and Yang Kang did not dare to stop for a moment. He was afraid that once he stopped, he would forget something. It was not until he finished writing the last word that he let out a long breath and collapsed on the ground.

But he knew that it was not the time to rest yet. After only a quarter of an hour, he got up, packed up the copied scriptures, and put them into a box with an inkstone in the shop. Holding the box, he turned over and walked towards the wall.

A layman's trip to the town.

Only when he leaves the confines of Mount Zhongnan can he feel safe.

On a snowy night, a small figure walked forward in the wind and snow, leaving a trail of footprints, which were then covered up by the wind and snow.

When Yang Kang just entered the underground tunnel, the maid and Grandma Sun, who had been waiting outside for a long time, entered the stone room to investigate the situation.

The five sarcophagi still exist, but the little girl has disappeared. Could it be that she entered the sarcophagus and merged with the lady?

The maid was so thoughtful that she discovered that not only the little girl was missing, but also the candlestick. She carefully inspected five sarcophagi and found a bit of ashes left by the wick of a burning candle on the fourth sarcophagus.

In this era, only rich families could use candles. The flame of the oil lamp was too small, and candles were relatively bright. Lin Chaoying was not short of money. There were candles stored in the ancient tomb, but they rarely used them. In the ancient tomb, they rarely used them.

You can find the place with your eyes closed. The candles were lit tonight because of Yang Kang's arrival.

The wick of the candle is made of cotton thread. During the burning process, the wick needs to be constantly trimmed, leaving ashes after burning.

The maid came to the sarcophagus and also found the small characters carved by Wang Chongyang, which she was completely unaware of.

Following Wang Chongyang's guidance, she came to the secret chamber under the sarcophagus and saw the scriptures carved on the stone wall. She was very shocked. This was obviously extremely advanced martial arts. When she did not find the little girl in the stone chamber

, then I learned that there are other passages here.

In this way, she and Grandma Sun walked forward and finally found the lost candlestick. The candle was still burning, but the little girl was gone.

Looking at the water in front of her, the maid sighed in her heart.

The little girl entered the ancient tomb probably because of the scripture. The maid had just hurriedly scanned the contents of the scripture. She knew that any of the martial arts in the martial arts could create a martial arts master.
