Chapter 58: The Night Thief Map
"Hehe, hehe!" Zhang Xiang saw Wei Dong's expression when he drank bitter tea, and laughed happily,
"Mr. Zhang, how did you get this tea, this tea is too bitter!" Wei Dong asked Zhang Xiang with a helpless expression.
"This is a taste of life! Little brother, you don't need to be surprised, when you are older, you won't be able to drink the bitter taste in it!" Zhang Xiang patted Wei Dong's shoulder and sighed.
"Let's get down to business! This time, the news from the palace is that the map of the ancient teleportation array stronghold is hidden on the bookshelf in the third row on the left side of the second floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. Zhang Xiang straightened his expression and told Wei Dong about the information this time.
"Where is the Scripture Pavilion in the Imperial Palace, and is there any master guarding it?" Wei Dong continued to ask.
"This is a schematic diagram of the palace building, now for you, you go back and study it. As for the masters of the guards, there were originally four Martial God Realm above the middle stage, and they were guarded at the same time at night, but two of them will be transferred away tomorrow, so tomorrow is the best time to steal it. Zhang Xiang handed Wei Dong a map of the palace and explained the situation in detail.
Wei Dong took the map and didn't open it directly, but stuffed it into his arms.
"Remember, you have to memorize all the signs on this map, and after you finish memorizing, just light it and burn it!" Zhang Xiang leaned over and whispered to Wei Dong.
After finishing business, it was still early, so the two sat together and started a family routine, chatted for a while, Wei Dong got up to say goodbye and left the Hongyun Teahouse.
That night, after Wei Dong returned to his residence, he hurriedly took out the map from his arms, spread it out on the desk, lit the oil lamp on the table, and watched carefully.
The roads in the palace are intricate, and the signs on the map are too rough and simple, Wei Dong is confused, but fortunately, the location of the Scripture Pavilion is too obvious, which is easy to remember. Wei Dong felt that the key was how to quickly escape the scene after stealing the map, or how to fight and retreat after being discovered by the guards.
A red sun slowly rose from the east, at first it was red and tender without the slightest light, but suddenly, suddenly burst out into a strong, dazzling sun, and everything in heaven and earth slowly woke up under the light of this light—it was dawn.
At this time, Wei Dong was sitting cross-legged on the roof, absorbing and exhaling the aura of this early morning. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and looked straight at the sun in the distance, without the slightest evasion.
'This Burning Heaven Recipe has improved again, but the 'Peacock Ming King Recipe' is still a little behind. Wei Dong got up and jumped down from the eaves. One turned around and came to the courtyard and practiced the 'Giant Spirit Mountain Opening Fist'. After a few sets of boxing exercises, Wei Dong's vest was already a little moist.
The time of the day is fast, it can pass quickly, and it goes very slowly. When Wei Dong had made all kinds of preparations and memorized every sign on the palace map, the sun was reluctant to return below the horizon, and the whole sky was shrouded in bright stars.
Wei Dong was holding the drawing in his hand at the moment, only to see him rub his hands, and a ball of fire came out of his palm, instantly burning the identification drawing of the palace to ashes.
It was late at night, and when the time turned to the early hours of the morning, Wei Dong came out of the house, he changed into a gray suit that was easy to move around, and a black cloth was hung on his face to cover his face.
I saw him tiptoe to the ground, jumped onto the roof, and galloped towards the palace.
The inner courtyard of the palace in the dark night has lost the solemnity and solemnity seen during the day. In the dark curtain, it looks particularly eerie and terrifying, and the cold wind blowing from it from time to time makes people shudder.
The patrolling armor soldiers, wearing hideous masks and dark armor and holding all kinds of weapons, roamed back and forth in this small space. It's like a group of ownerless demons patrolling their territory.
Because Wei Dong had accurate identifications and the time spent patrolling back and forth, he easily avoided the eyes of all the guardians and found the location of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
With the dazzling starlight in the sky, Wei Dong looked at this long-famous book collection place. The pavilion is six storeys high, covers an extremely wide area, and is built in the style of Buddhism. There is a large plaque hanging in front of the gate, which reads: Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, three words. It is said that these three characters were inscribed by the great calligrapher Wang Xian 500 years ago.
After looking at it for a while, Wei Dong came to the door gently, "Huh!" only to find that the door was open, and he dodged in and ran in.
When I entered the house, it was pitch black and there was no light at all. Wei Dong had already prepared, and immediately took out a night pearl from the storage bag and used it to illuminate the surroundings.
There are a lot of bookshelves, tall and large, and they look very old, and the paint and paint on the surface of the bookshelves have long been mottled.
Wei Dong didn't stay long, and quickly looked for the stairs, wanting to enter the second floor. But after searching for a while, I went around the first floor, but I couldn't find the stairs to go up.
Looking up at the railing on the second floor, but he couldn't go up, Wei Dong was so anxious that he didn't know why, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he jumped up, jumped to the top of the second-floor fence, and then fell gently.
'Third row on the left?' Wei Dong began to scratch his head again. I thought it was from the stairs, the third row on the left side of the staircase, but I didn't expect that now it came up in this way, so how to find it?
Wei Dong quickly calmed down and began to circle around the second floor. After a while, I finally found the doorway: there are no stairs on the second floor, and the number of bookshelves is an even number, and the third row on the left must be determined by the middle line. Thinking of this, Wei Dong hurriedly came to the middle line position, and then counted to the left, one, two, three, it should be here.
The bookshelf has ten floors from the bottom, each layer is about one meter wide and half a meter high, and a large number of documents and materials are placed.
"No matter how much, let's find it first!" Although he knew that this was a magnificent project, Wei Dong could only bite the bullet now.
Very fortunately, in the space on the third floor of the bookshelf, Wei Dong found a wooden box when he checked it, and with the help of the light of the night pearl in his hand, he opened it and saw that it was indeed this map of the ancient teleportation array with the words 'Abandoned People Continent'.
Now that the map has been found, let's go back as soon as possible, so that you don't have to have a lot of dreams at night!" Wei Dong hurriedly put the map into the storage bag and put the wooden box back in its place. Coming to the railing, he jumped to the first floor, and then hurriedly came to the gate, just wanted to push the door out, but suddenly felt a chill in his heart, 'Not good!' For the sake of safety, Wei Dong slowly stepped back, shrunk behind a bookshelf, and watched the changes.
Time was constantly passing, and Wei Dong was already sweating at this time, but he still squatted motionless on the ground, his eyes fixed on the door.
After a while, a few gentle coughs came from outside the house, and then the voices of the two of them were talking, "Will he leave from somewhere else? Why hasn't he come out after all this time?"
"Hmph! This pavilion is just an exit, will he still fly away? If he doesn't come out, let's go in!"
As soon as the voice fell, a "bang!" was heard, the door was kicked open, and two figures rushed in.
"Here's the opportunity!" Wei Dong was waiting for this, only to see him get up suddenly, bow his head, and slant his shoulders and slam into the figure at the door.
"Smack..." With a bang, a black shadow was knocked to the ground by Wei Dong, and another black shadow dodged to the right.
As soon as Wei Dong rushed out of the gate, he saw a large net floating above the eaves, covering him completely. Wei Dong was lying in the net, and his whole body suddenly burst into flames, burning the big net to ashes in an instant, and then he turned over and jumped to the open space opposite.
At this time, the two black shadows slowly followed, "Who are you, you are so bold, dare to come to the inner courtyard of the palace to steal things, do you really not want to live?"
Wei Dong didn't care, and took out a heavy war knife that had been prepared earlier from the storage bag, and he wanted to fight one against two.
"You kid, you're better than a monkey, you should have two hits. Don't blame us for two to one, who let this be the palace, if something goes wrong, no one can eat and walk around!" said one of the dark shadows to Wei Dong.
Wei Dong snorted coldly, raised his sword and rushed towards the two of them. The three of them fought in one place. After fighting, Wei Dong realized that the strength of these two people was just average, but one person was extremely fast, which was unguardable.
Fortunately, Wei Dong has been familiar with Yanbo footwork since he was a child, and now he is already perfect, stepping on his feet, like a ghost shadow, which is unpredictable.
The sound of the three of them hitting became louder and louder, attracting the attention of the guardian armorers, and the two teams of armorers were hurrying towards this side.
Wei Dong also felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he suddenly exerted his strength, forced the two of them back, and then jumped backwards and fled from here.
With the impression in his mind, Wei Dong calmly chose the escape route. I ran all the way and ran for about a cup of tea, only to suddenly realize, 'Oh no! Why have I been spinning in circles?'
"Haha, big brother, you see that kid thought he had escaped, but what he didn't expect was that he kept circling around. Hmph, I don't know if I'm alive or dead, I'm tired of it!" laughed a dark shadow.
"Well, this kid is very alert, he has already noticed that something is wrong, but so what, in my purple butterfly illusion, where can I escape? haha!"
When Wei Dong realized that something was wrong, the sky also changed color, turning into a series of colorful glass colors. What made Wei Dong even more helpless was that a large group of purple flying butterflies appeared in the air and swooped towards him.
Wei Dong could only raise his knife and swing it to fend off the attacks of those purple butterflies. Sooner or later, I'm going to die of exhaustion. This must be an illusion!'
Wei Dong thought of the word illusion, and suddenly remembered the bronze bell again, didn't his father say that the bronze bell has the energy effect of destroying illusions and illusions. Then give it a try!
