Chapter 217: Riding a Mouse
Just as the old man was about to continue the battle with Jingchen, Jing, who had been standing by and watching the battle, suddenly stood up: "Wait." β
The old man was on fire, and when he saw Jing standing up, he shouted, "Ouch, Lingyan Empire City Lord of Radiant City, what are you doing?"
Jing smiled slightly, and then said, "As the Yuan Saint of the Holy Soul Sect, why do you have to deal with a ghost who hasn't even reached the Yuan Zun level?" Feeling that Jing Chen was very unconvinced, Jing Wei made a gesture, and Jing Chen reluctantly endured it. Then Jing continued, "That's all for now. Just give me a face, okay?"
The old man roared loudly: "My disciple was killed by your son, how can you relieve your hatred if you don't take revenge?"
Seeing this, Jing said: "I can also testify that Jing Chen did not kill your Zhao Kun, he did blow himself up and died." If it hadn't been for Jingchen's timely help, I'm afraid that we would have been bombarded by this array of mountains - old man Huo, this may not be appropriate for me, if Zhao Kun's self-explosion really kills everyone in the sects, I'm afraid everyone will have trouble with the Holy Soul Sect, right?"
When the old man heard this, he glanced at the other Yuan Saints a little, but found that those people were watching the battle between himself and Jingchen as if they were watching a monkey playfully. Although this was Rao's normal mentality, the old man didn't care very much, but thinking back to the battle just now, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. You must know that although Jing Chen is suspected of having accepted the inheritance of the Yuan Sage powerhouse, he is still just a junior brother who has not even reached the Yuan Zun, but his performance just now was completely beyond his expectations, and the secret technique that resisted his soul peeping skill just now is indeed impossible to ignore, so it is not impossible to let him go for the time being. Anyway, the coming days are long, and then find a suitable day to kill him. So the old man of the fire withdrew the flames and said with both hands: "Okay! For the sake of the pleading face of the city lord of the Smoke Empire's Radiant City, I will let you go for the time being, but next time you will not be so lucky!"
"Thank you for your understanding. Although Jingchen was very reluctant in his heart, he was embarrassed to continue to be tough when he saw his father come forward at this time, and even if the other party was no matter how bad it was, he was also a Yuansheng-level figure, but he had only not even reached the Yuanzun level - if you consider it according to this comparison, indeed, the best plan is to avoid continuing to fight against this angry Yuansheng-level stinky old man now.
Seeing that a battle was interrupted like this, although the Yuan Saints felt that it was a pity, it was impossible for them to come out. After a few rounds of polite remarks between you and me, the crowd that felt that it would be very bad to stay any longer quickly dispersed, and they did whatever it took to go. After the people from the other sects had left, Jing said to the rest: "Okay, let's go back to the branch hall of the Yuan God Temple first." β
Everyone saw that there was really nothing to do to stay here, so they nodded in agreement.
After returning to the branch hall of the Yuan Shen Temple, Jing only left Jing Chen, Piaoxu, and Mo Lie in the hall. When Jing Chen saw Jing's solemn face, he knew that what he wanted next was definitely not a thing, and then he said, "If Father has anything to say, you might as well be straight." β
Jing paced back and forth a few steps, and finally sat down: "Now, it's time." Tonight, I'm going to let a few of you save the Drifters who are sealed in the underground prison. β
When "......" Piao Fu heard this, he immediately frowned. Jingchen saw it in his eyes, and his heart immediately understood. After all, Piao Wanren is Piao's father, he has been imprisoned in an underground prison for many years, and he has already started preparations for rescue some time ago, but he didn't expect that tonight was the time to rescue. And the reason why Piao Su frowned was because once the prison robbery failed tonight, not only could it not save Piao Wanren, but it might also cause the people who went to rob the prison to suffer, and in a worse case, it might bring death to Piao Wanren. Therefore, this rescue operation is only allowed to succeed, not to fail - failure means losing a hand, knowing that he can save his father, although he is very happy in his heart, but what surrounds his heart is more of the worry caused by the lack of a 100% winning rate.
So, Jingchen gently shook Piao's hand and said, "Senior sister, you don't have to worry too much. We haven't made a little progress compared to before, and now that Mo Lie is in the war, it shouldn't be a problem to rescue Piao Wanren. What's more, the father must have had his reasons for winning in making such a decision. Right, father?"
Jing smiled: "Jing Chen really has a little brain. This can be the best chance to save the Piao Wan brothers. The current master of the Yuan Shen Temple has now gone out to run errands because of official business, and he has also brought his right-hand men out with him, so the Yuan Shen Temple headquarters is now like an empty shell for us. All you have to do is get rid of some scum, and then unlock the lock and release the people. If you don't seize this opportunity, you won't know what year or month it will be next time. β
Hearing this, Piao Fu also nodded in understanding. Although there is still a little worry in my heart, but since Jing is like this, and Jing Chen is full of confidence, it seems that he can't get over it if he hesitates.
So, the action of saving Piao Wanren was decided. After the three of them rested for a while, they rushed to the headquarters of the Yuan Shen Temple without stopping.
When they arrived at the entrance of the main department of the Yuan Shen Temple, the minions guarding the door stepped forward to block them: "Who are you and what are you doing here!?"
Jingchen smiled and said, "My brother, if you don't even know me, you're too vegetable, right?"
As soon as the minion heard this person's words, he was full of anger, and without the slightest hesitation, he had doubts in his heart. Then another minion saw that this newcomer was doing so recklessly, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Don't you rookie want to get mixed up?" This is the son of Jing, the lord of Radiant City of the Lingyan Empire, Jingchen! You dare to be so rude, you can't get your salary, but your head falls to the ground and turns into dust!", the minion was immediately frightened when he heard this, and then he trembled and said: "Yuan, it turned out to be Lord Jingchen!
Seeing that this minion showed the posture of a dog slave, Jing Chen couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea in his heart, so he waved his hand: "It's nothing." I don't have the heart to bother with a character like you for such a trivial matter. Open the door. Also, if you dare to go out casually about what I'm here, your mind will move!"
When the two minions heard this, they quickly stood up and shouted: "Yes!
The underground prison of the Yuan Shen Temple was very hidden, and it was located under the hall where the Yuan Shen Temple usually used for meeting guests and discussing battles - if Jing hadn't given it to them in advance, they would probably not have found it. Who would have thought that the underground prison cell for important people was just below the place where they all passed?
And the entrance is located in another place - that is, the warehouse of the Yuan Shen Temple, the entrance to Zheng is not set up in this place, and it is not random. The warehouse of the Yuan Shen Temple is the strongest anti-theft function in the entire Yuan Shen Temple, because it contains some secret treasures and important documents. And that's not all, these treasures and important documents are protected by some chests with ancient sealing secrets, so even if you are lucky enough to crack the anti-theft measures of this warehouse, you will not be able to take out the contents - only the Yuan Shen Temple Master has the authority to unlock those sealing secrets.
And the anti-theft measures to this warehouse, in addition to the impregnable door, are scattered with all kinds of sharp mechanisms, and if you are not careful, you will be killed by these mechanisms. However, these mechanisms will not be considered for the time being - you will have to get the key to the warehouse door before you can check it
The key to the door of the warehouse is kept by the steward of the Genjin Temple. Without the handwritten credentials of the Genshin Temple Master, no one would be able to borrow those keys. But things have changed a little bit now. Since the Lingyan Empire's Radiance City and the Yuan God Temple have formed an alliance, now in addition to the Yuan God Hall Lord, Jing also has this permission - but it is limited to entering and exiting the warehouse, and to open those boxes that are protected by the sealed secret method, it still has to be done by the Yuan God Hall Lord himself, Jing Chen, their purpose this time is not to get any secret treasures, so it is not trivial.
"Good evening, butler. After Jingchen found the old man who was the housekeeper, he immediately saluted him respectfully.
"Oh, it turned out to be Jingchen...... It's so late, what's the matter with coming here? Do you want to talk to me about life and ideals?" The old housekeeper saw that it was these people he had grown up watching, and his vigilance was relaxed.
Jingchen smiled, and then continued to say respectfully: "What kind of life and ideals are worth talking about? In the future, at most, I will help my retired father inherit the position of the city lord, and it will be the same whether I talk about it or not." β
When the old man in charge heard this, he immediately laughed: "Hahaha! I didn't expect you to be quite crazy! β
Jingchen smiled slightly: "Where, where." By the way, I'm here for this one. After that, Jingchen took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to the old man in charge with both hands. The old man in charge looked at the secret letter that did not have any words written on the envelope, so he slowly took it, tore it open, opened it and looked at it, and then said, "It turns out that I came to do something for your father." All right. The old butler did not suspect anything, but got up and walked into the house. Once inside, he turned around and closed the door. After a while, he opened the door again and came out of it, and handed Jingchen a very key: "Return it to me immediately when you are done." β
"Okay! I'll go back when I go!" Jingchen took the key, then gave Piaoxu and Mo Lie a look, and walked over to the warehouse, and after opening the door, Jingchen returned the key the way he came, and then returned to Piaoxu's side. Seeing Jingchen's desperate appearance, the old man housekeeper couldn't help but smile slightly: "Piaoxi really found a good partner." Piao Wanren is also lucky to have such a good son-in-law. Then he looked at the secret letter again. There are only three words written on it: "Save Wanren." β
"Senior sister, how is the situation inside, can you see it?" After coming back, Jingchen immediately asked with concern. Piao Fu had already used the exploration technique to trace it a little, but he didn't find any obvious traps. However, since there are countless strange traps in it, it can't be taken lightly. After listening to Piaoxi's report, Jingchen closed his eyes and paced back and forth in place for a few steps, and then said: "No way, staying here is just a waste of time, let's take the Thunder Mouse in." After Jingchen finished whistling, the Thunder Mouse came out from underneath. Jingchen squatted down and touched this cute big animal, and said, "Ben, we need your help to take us into this place." There are a lot of traps in this place, so please be very careful. β
Ben Thunder Rat blinked knowingly. Then Jingchen, Piao Fu and Mo Lie stood together, and then Ben Thunder Mouse's eyes emitted a thick red light, and after shining on these three people, these three people began to slowly change. This is one of the nirvana of the Thunder Rat, which is often used by wild Thunderrat in the wild to deal with prey that is much larger than itself - this trick can make the subject temporarily shrink his size and reduce his weight. I didn't expect this trick to survive and forage for food, and now it is used for this purpose. Before becoming Jingchen's pet, this thunder rat probably never imagined that there would be such a one.
After the volume became sufficient, Jingchen, Piaofu, and Mo Lie climbed onto the back of the Thunder Mouse. Seeing that the three humans were ready, it began to sniff the ground vigorously before rushing into the warehouse.
"I've ridden a lot of horses in my life, and this is the first time I've ridden a mouse or something. What a wonderful experience. Mo Lie said excitedly.
Jingchen took the opportunity to tease: "This feels right, right?
When Piao Fu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "You neurotic, what are you talking nonsense again?"
"It's a must in order not to get too nervous. Jingchen smiled bitterly. Yes, in this case, I am not nervous at all - that is definitely a lie. First, we must hurry up and finish the matter before the Yuan God Temple Lord returns, and secondly, there are many crises here, and I have lost so much in size, if I really encounter any traps, it is very likely that there will only be a dead end. Seeing that from time to time, some cockroaches that were only a little bit larger than themselves kept crawling on the ground, Jingchen couldn't help but have these nesting thoughts. Yes...... Wrong!
Jingchen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said, "Ben Thunder Mouse, you follow the footsteps of the cockroaches!"
When Piao Fu heard this, he couldn't help but admire Jingchen's associative power. Because this is a very well-sealed warehouse, and there are countless mechanisms, but this strange creature that has lived on the earth for hundreds of millions of years can actually sneak here, and can roam around in a big way-it is clear that they must have a way to avoid these mechanisms! Thinking of this, Piao Xi actually admired the cockroach a little in his heart--if the human who claims to have infinite intelligence and the cockroach known as the pest can live longer than anyone here, the human race may not be able to outperform the cockroach.
Sure enough, this trick is very effective - after all, you don't have to feel the stones to cross, and of course you can walk much faster. While sniffing the safe path, Ben Thunder Rat followed Jingchen's instructions and kept looking for the path to the direction of the secret door.
While Jingchen was constantly commanding the Thunder Mouse and secretly admiring the cockroaches, Mo Lie was constantly looking up at the secret treasure placed here. Although they were all sealed in boxes, the strange thing was that they were all transparent, except for a faint purple light on the surface that was imperceptible. Presumably, the so-called secret method of sealing is working. When he was hostile to the Yuan God Temple before, and when he was an enemy of Jingchen, he wanted to know what was hidden in the warehouse of this Yuan God Temple. Now that he has surrendered to Jingchen, although he no longer has that hostile heart, his curiosity about the things hidden in the warehouse of this Yuan Shen Temple has not only not decreased, but has become stronger and stronger. Therefore, in this operation to save Piao Wanren, after hearing that he was going to enter the warehouse of this Yuan God Temple, Mo Lie was naturally very excited in his heart
And now that he is really in it, Mo Lie feels that he is really good and lucky to be lucky to be here. Countless strange weapons are asleep here, countless unknown secrets are waiting in boxes, and countless classified documents are ready to move hereβand if you're a hostile element, you'll go crazy to see it. However, at this time, Mo Lie only regarded himself as a tourist who came for sightseeing, although it was very refreshing to watch, but he did not have the slightest greed in his heart. Maybe Jing also saw this of himself, so he let himself come here with Jingchen and Piaofu. Thinking of this, Mo Lie couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude to Jing.
After searching for a long time, suddenly, the eyes of the Thunder Rat made a sharp look like "prey found", and his pace gradually accelerated. Jing Chen, who noticed the change in Ben Thunder Mouse's eyes, hurriedly said, "Everyone, please pay attention! We're going to get ready. β
"I'm always ready!" Mo Lie said excitedly.
"I, I'm ready. Piao Fu was excited and nervous at this time, and he couldn't even speak.
When Jingchen heard this, he turned around and touched Piaofu's head: "Senior sister, relax a little." Don't be so tight. β
"Uh-huh!" But Jingchen's words didn't seem to have any positive effect - he didn't even have a word at this moment.
Looking at the nervous appearance and such a cute fluttering, Jingchen smiled heartily.
