Chapter 17: Stealing elixir from the old house

Long Zun, who was standing around the corner, looked at the backs of the red-faced clan elders leaving, and said secretly: "Since you have driven me away several times, before leaving, you can't be so cheap." ”

When the others walked away, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction to the main gate of the Long family.

Beneath his feet was a gravel-paved path, passing through a rockery, through a forest of verdant bamboos, and turning a bend to a courtyard that looked distinctly magnificent.

Long Zun looked left and right, there was silence and no one around, and the environment was quiet and elegant.

Along the road under his feet, he passed several courtyard gates and stopped in front of a vermilion wooden gate, and on a large red lantern hanging in front of the door, the two big characters Long Guang were written in black letters.

The real name of the red-faced clan elder is Long Guang, Long Zun looked left and right, there was no one around, and he jumped lightly and jumped on the courtyard wall more than one person high.

Half squatting on the courtyard wall and looking inside, the courtyard in front of him was several times larger than the small courtyard he had lived in for many years, and in the middle of the courtyard was a bluestone road, with a flower garden on each side, and all kinds of flowers were in full bloom.

Turning over slightly, he jumped into the courtyard, and rushed to a flowerbed with a few steps on his back, hiding behind the flowerbed.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement from the house not far ahead, and he slowly got up and crept softly to the hidden door.

Half of his face was pressed in front of the door, listening intently, no one could be heard in the room, and knowing that there was no one in the house, he gently pushed open the door and came into the house in a flash.

The room is filled with all kinds of antique furniture, and there is a large landscape painting hanging on the wall, which looks elegant and luxurious.

Long Zun only glanced at the furnishings in the room, and then stopped paying attention, focusing all his attention on the cupboards and desks that could store things.

After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a long time, he finally found a dozen gold leaves and some scattered silver taels.

"Impossible, this old guy has been a clan elder for so many years, how can he not even leave a single elixir. Long Zun gently touched his chin with his hand and muttered to himself.

Picking up the gold leaf and scattered silver in his hand, he searched around the room inch by inch, not even letting go of a corner.

After a careful search, he stood in front of the landscape painting and found nothing, thinking that no matter whether he found the elixir or not, he had to leave immediately, and the red-faced clan elder could come back at any time.

At this time, a beam of sunlight from the window shone through the window on the landscape painting in front of him, and the middle part of the landscape painting that was illuminated by the light was obviously much darker than the surrounding wall compared to the surrounding area.

"Huh!" Long Zun, who noticed this scene, exclaimed in amazement, stretched out his hand to roll up the landscape painting scroll, revealing a basin-sized square dark grid from the back of the scroll.

He rushed to the dark grid with an arrow step, reached out and grabbed a copper lock in front of the dark grid, and pulled it hard, only to hear the sound of gaba, and the copper lock was pulled down by him along with a lock nose.

Throw the copper lock to the ground, raise your hand to grab the other lock nose on the dark grid, and gently force it to directly open the small wooden door outside the dark grid.

As the dark compartment was opened, he secretly exclaimed, "Not good!"

Xuanli hurriedly spread all over his body, and at the same time, his body quickly dodged to one side, and his back was directly attached to the wall on the side.

Looking at the wooden bookshelf opposite the dark grid, there is a row of silver needles shining with cold light, revealing the needle tails outside the bookshelf, which are still shaking slightly.

Long Zun secretly said that it was a fluke, if he took a step slowly, all these silver needles would be pierced on him.

With a wave of his hand, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, turned around and walked to the desk on the side, picked up the wooden ruler used to press paper on it, and walked back to the dark grid.

This time, he didn't directly use his hands to pick up the things in the dark grid, but used the wooden ruler in his hand to touch every position in the dark grid, and found that there was no danger, so he reached out and took out a pillow-sized wooden box from it.

Both hands carefully held the wooden box to the side of the desk, and on the outward side of the wooden box, the copper lock the size of two thumbs still hanged.

This time, instead of picking the lock right away, he first found a wooden plank the length of his forearm and placed it next to the wooden box.

When everything was ready, he destroyed the copper lock, and then took the plank in his hand, and when he opened the wooden box, he hurriedly put it in his hand.

I only listened to a series of tinkling sounds, and when the sound died down, I took the wooden board away and saw that it was densely packed with silver needles.

He turned the wooden board full of silver needles upside down and put it on the table next to him, and then he went to look at the contents of the wooden box, but saw that the inside of the wooden box was still a rectangular box, and the texture was a jade box made of pure jade.

Seeing the jade box contained in the wooden box, Long Zun knew that the jade box must contain something precious.

The jade box was carefully taken out of the wooden box by him and gently placed on the table, this time there was no copper lock on the jade box, just a jade lid inserted in the recessed position on both sides of the jade box.

Grabbing the side of the lid and slowly pulling the lid open, a strong fragrance of elixir came out of the jade box and hit his nose.

When the lid was fully opened, one, two, three, four, and four elixirs that were more than 100 years old were neatly placed in the jade box.

He didn't need to ask him to guess that these four elixirs should be the hundred-year-old elixirs that the red-faced clan had accumulated over the years.

Seeing these four elixirs, as long as he eats them, his Xuan power can be greatly improved, and at the same time, he doesn't have to worry about not having elixir cultivation in a short period of time.

Closing the lid of the jade box again, he opened his bag, and he put the jade box in his bag, tied it again, and carried it on his own shoulder.

The remaining empty wooden box was put back into the dark grid by him, and the two wooden doors of the hidden grid were closed, and the landscape paintings on the wall were put down by him to cover the dark grid.

As long as no one lifts the landscape painting to open the dark grid, no one will notice that the dark grid has been opened and the elixir inside has been removed.

When it was ready, he cleaned up the furnishings around the house, and restored it to the way it was when he first entered.

He also plucked the silver needles that were stuck in the wooden frame one by one, and threw them into the flower garden in the courtyard along with the wooden board full of silver needles.

After everything was restored to its original state, he closed the door, turned over and jumped onto the courtyard wall, found that there was no one around, hurriedly jumped down, hurried away, and walked straight to the main gate of the Long family.

Along the way, although some people saw Long Zun hurriedly walking towards the main entrance, they were only curious to take a look, and no one cared where a Long family waste was going.

Long Zun stole a few elixirs that the red-faced clan had treasured for many years, and walked out of the gate of the Long family all the way to the streets of Zhulin Town.

As soon as he took a few steps, two young figures walked in front of him, just blocking his path.

Raising his head, he clearly saw that the person blocking the passerby was none other than the two brothers, Long Yaohui and Long Yaowu.

Standing still, Long Zun lifted the backpack on his shoulder and said, "What's the matter? You two brothers weren't beaten enough last time, and they still want to be beaten." ”

When Long Yaohui, who was shorter, heard this, his body unnaturally dodged back, not daring to look at Long Zun.

On the contrary, it was Long Yaowu, who stopped Long Zun and said, "Long Zun, don't be arrogant, Young Master Long Chong should come back soon, and then see if you can be as arrogant as you are now." ”

Long Zun's eyelids lifted upwards and said, "Is there anything else, get out of here!"

He stretched out his hand and pulled Long Yaowu aside, and walked away from the two of them.
