Chapter 376 Obtaining a Complete Map of the Forbidden Land

That night, the night was charming and the breeze was blowing. As expected, Xie Hefan came to Jiang Yimo in person.

It just so happened that Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo were both staying in the house reading books, one reading a military book and the other reading a medical book.

When Jiang Yimo was watching intently, a voice suddenly came to her ears.

"Miss Jiang, I heard yesterday that Uncle San gave you his forbidden area map?"

Jiang Yimo was startled and almost dropped the medical book in her hand. She looked up at Xie Hefan, nodded and said, "Yes, it's really thanks to him that I was able to develop the antidote for the ancient mold so quickly."

Xie Hefan raised the corner of his lips slightly, smiled, and said teasingly: "Then should I also give you my copy of the map?"

"If Mr. Xie is willing to share, I will be very grateful. But if Mr. Xie is unwilling, I will not force it."

Jiang Yimo smiled.

Xie Hefan looked at Jiang Yi's indifferent expression and couldn't help laughing.

"Miss Jiang, actually I brought you a map today." Xie Hefan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Young Master. Isn't this forbidden area map the treasure of your Yunlai Villa? Why are you willing to give it to me so easily?" Jiang Yimo asked tentatively.

A bitter smile flashed across Xie Hefan's face. "Alas, in fact, our Xie family has guarded that forbidden land for nearly a thousand years. Three hundred years ago, we also experienced a crisis, but it was quelled by my great ancestor. Later, he built Yunlai Villa. We have been able to spend the past three hundred years in peace. But in the past year, because of these two forbidden land maps, our Yunlai Villa..."

At this point, Xie Hefan's voice became heavy.

He took a deep breath and continued, "Our Xie family has guarded this forbidden area for generations, but we don't know what secrets are inside. We only know that it is a very dangerous place, so we have never explored it."

"However, ever since news about the forbidden land map spread a year ago, our Yunlai Villa has been in an unprecedented crisis. All forces want to get this map, and our Xie family has to be on guard everywhere, and even sacrificed many relatives."

"It just so happens that Miss Jiang, you have done our family a favor, and you and the Evil King both need these two maps, so I might as well give you the forbidden area map." Xie Hefan said sincerely.

Jiang Yimo listened to his words without showing any ecstasy on her face. Instead, she frowned and asked him calmly, "These two forbidden maps are treasures that everyone in the martial arts world dreams of. Are you giving them to me so easily just to repay a favor? I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Hefan's mouth curled up slightly and he chuckled softly: "It's true that it's not all for the sake of repaying a favor. However, there are two important reasons why I am willing to hand over these two maps to you. First, only strong people like you can guard these two maps. I'm afraid that others will not be able to do it. The second reason... is to divert the crisis."

Jiang Yimo couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this, and said with a slightly sarcastic tone: "So that's how it is, you want to use us as a shield and take this risk for you!"

Xie Hefan chuckled and did not deny her statement. He frankly admitted: "That's understandable. After all, our Yunlai Villa has gone through too many twists and turns and can't bear more hardships. It's better to pass this thorny problem to you and let you face those enemies who covet the map."

Finally, he added: "I believe you have the ability."

"Okay, now that you've said this, just give me the map." Jiang Yimo said calmly.

Then, Xie Hefan took out a small wooden box from his sleeve, which was exactly the same as the one the third owner of the village gave her.

Jiang Yimo took it and carefully opened the wooden box. There was only a parchment map inside, but no small iron ball like the one in the wooden box of the third owner.

She was a little confused, but still focused her attention on the parchment. The map and the map given by the third owner were both drawn in great detail, with every line and mark clearly visible, and at the same time, traces of knife cuts could be seen in the middle.

At this moment, Feng Wuhen, who had been sitting next to the tea table reading quietly, seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly put down the military book in his hand, stood up, and walked towards them with big strides.

"Momo, take out the map you have with you. Let's try to piece these two maps together to see if they can form a complete map."

Jiang Yimo nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with Feng Wuhen's proposal.

In fact, she had already planned to do so, so when she heard Feng Wuhen say this, she took out the map that she had always treasured from the space without hesitation, placed it carefully on the table, and then pieced it together into a complete picture.

At this time, the three people leaned over and surrounded the map, carefully observing every detail.

Their eyes were focused on the map, as if they were trying to find the secrets hidden within through the lines and marks.

It took the three of them a long time to understand the map. They were full of admiration for the wisdom of the ancients.

"The ancients thousands of years ago were so smart that they could even build such a mechanical tunnel. It really makes us, the later generations, ashamed!"

"Yes, if it weren't for this unexpected discovery, who would have thought that there was such a huge secret hidden under the swamp?"

"Who built this tunnel? Could it be that they built such a forbidden area just for a thousand-year-old lotus? Is it necessary to undertake such a huge project?"

The three of them looked at the parchment map and expressed their feelings and thoughts.

Jiang Yimo exclaimed: "This map is so detailed!" She didn't expect that the ancients thousands of years ago could also draw such a standard and detailed design map.

"Yes, with it, we can find the way to the forbidden area." Xie Hefan agreed.

"But what secrets are hidden in this underground palace?" Feng Wuhen whispered curiously.

"I don't know, but I believe it will be very exciting." Jiang Yimo's eyes flashed with anticipation.

"Momo, when are you planning to go to the forbidden area, call me. I also want to see this underground palace." Xie Hefan said enthusiastically.

Hearing this, Jiang Yimo pondered for a moment, glanced at Feng Wuhen and said, "Let's do it early tomorrow morning. We've been out for too long and I miss my family."

"Okay, I'll come early tomorrow." After Xie Hefan said this, he turned and left.
