Chapter 36: The Mysterious Old Man
Cloudfall crouched on the high wall like a cat, hiding her entire body in the darkness.
She stared warily at the patrols coming and going below, found a gap, flung the hook to the opposite roof, and then jumped over it on tiptoe.
The guards below were unaware, unaware that someone was jumping around their heads, and then stopped on the roof of the study in the Snow Mansion.
Usually, Yunluo enters directly from the main gate, but today's guards in the Snow Mansion are too strict, and the guards guarding below have not been broken at all, so she can only uncover the tiles on the roof today.
Soon, Yunluo followed the hole dug out and entered the study.
Whether it is the Yun family's Feng family or the Xue family, the study is her first goal, because she feels that generally important things will be hidden in places like the secret compartment of the study.
The room was pitch black, and Yunluo took out a night pearl from his arms, which was stolen from the eldest young master of the Feng family.
The study instantly lit up, and when Yunluo saw it, he immediately couldn't close his mouth.
She has already "visited" the study rooms of the three major families, but it is the first time she has seen such a jeweled study.
Everywhere she can reach, there are priceless treasures that can make her eyes shine.
Without a moment's hesitation, Yunluo directly collected all the things under his eyes into the Phantom Ring that had been emptied.
It was really a wise decision to come to the Xue family after disposing of the things, otherwise she really couldn't guarantee that this ring would be able to hold tonight's loot.
Yunluo was rummaging through the Five Elements Exquisite Beads while loading things, but the things in the bright and dark compartments were almost finished, and there was still no shadow of the Five Elements Exquisite Beads.
There were a lot of colorful beads, but none of them were what she was looking for.
Yunluo was depressed, didn't even the Xue family have the Five Elements Exquisite Pearl?
So where else can she go to find it?
Yunluo leaned against the wall with one hand, and looked weakly at the study that had been ransacked by her, and was about to move somewhere else.
I heard that the Xue family has many wives and concubines, and the beads can't be found, so go to them to seek some "comfort".
But at this moment, Yunluo's hand holding the wall suddenly paused, and after tapping on it a few times, he suddenly grinned.
The walls are empty, and it seems that there is a secret room here, maybe the Five Elements Exquisite Bead is inside, and even if there is none, there must be more valuable things.
Thinking of this, Yunluo began to look for a starting point.
She was a good at opening mechanisms, and it didn't take long for her to find them under her desk.
Sure enough, after pressing the mechanism, the originally smooth and seamless wall slowly moved towards the edge, and an entrance appeared in front of Yunluo's eyes.
YES!
Yunluo clenched his fist and dodged into the secret room.
There is a short passage in front of it, and at the end of the passage there is a stone door.
"It's really cautious. Yunluo muttered, but the more cautious and rigorous it is, the more it means that there is a treasure inside.
Yunluo's eyes lit up, but at the same time, he didn't let his guard down, and carefully walked forward while paying attention to the situation in the passage.
In general, in this kind of passage, it is easy to have a trick.
In case some poisoned arrows come out, she will definitely be shot into a hornet's nest.
But Yunluo was lucky that until she reached the door, there was no such thing as she was worried about.
She quickly figured out the mechanism to open the door, but the moment she pressed it, an accident appeared.
Yunluo only heard a "bang", and before she could react, an iron cage quickly fell from the top of her head, covering her entirely.
Rely on it, you have been recruited!
Yunluo regretted it, he was too careless, but what should he do now?
The cage was so heavy that she couldn't push it open, and there was no mechanism inside to open it.
And she also realized a serious problem, since the iron cage mechanism has been activated, then the alarm will definitely be sounded, and the person who arrested her is already coming at this time.
Could she just sit back and wait for her to die?
Just as the clouds fell in the iron cage and turned in a hurry, there was a sound of footsteps outside.
The footsteps were soft, but Yunluo's hearing was so good that he could still hear clearly.
Could it be that her captors are here?
But then, she heard a jumble of footsteps, numerous and menacing.
This time she was really dead.
Yunluo wailed, today is really not a good day, first he was pitted, and then he fell into the pit by himself.
Snow off!
All of this is due to this hateful guy, and this is also a trap he has set a long time ago.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Yunluo seemed to see the scene where he was beaten to death with a stick, and then his body was hung at the gate of Moon City.
At this moment, a figure appeared at the entrance of the secret room and quickly ran towards it.
Yunluo was stunned because she saw that the face of the person who came was wearing a mask similar to hers.
Her eyes lit up, could it be that the phantom boy came to save her?
But then, more and more footsteps sounded, accompanied by some shouts: "Quick, he's there, don't let him run!"
Relying on it, this man has attracted all the guards?
Yunluo seemed to have figured out the situation, but before she could see the person in front of her clearly, the person waved his hand, and a burst of golden light hit the iron cage that covered her.
With a "boom", the iron cage flew away directly, and the clouds fell free.
It's just that this is a secret passage, and the stone door behind her has not yet opened, and the guards have already entered the study, and she is still a turtle in an urn.
The golden light just now was a little dazzling, although the masked person had already arrived in front of her, but she still couldn't see clearly, she only knew that there were already guards running in from the door of the secret room.
She didn't care who he was, she just said anxiously, "What should I do?"
"Of course it's a flash man. The other party finally spoke, but the voice was ......
Yunluo didn't have time to think too much, let alone think about how they could flash people, only to feel that their hands were grabbed, and then a burst of intense golden light lit up.
It was only after the golden light disappeared and her vision returned to clarity that she was completely stunned.
Glaring around, rubbing his eyes, and looking closely, Yunluo was sure that he was not dazzled.
But...... But weren't they still trapped in the secret passages?
How can you be by a pond in the middle of now?
Smelling the faint smell of grass and listening to the crisp croaking of frogs, the clouds fell completely messy.
"What's it called, it's noisy!" Just as the clouds were still in the clouds, a chattering sound sounded in her ears, and then, she saw the familiar golden light again.
The light shot quickly into the pond, and only a few "pops" were heard, and the frog cries stopped, leaving only a few dead frogs with white bellies on the water.
