Chapter 52: The Birthday Banquet (5)

Long Zun looked up at the top of his head, and above them were several thick beams, which could be said to be the safest place to hide things.

As soon as he exerted his legs, the whole person rose from the ground and jumped on the beam with ease.

The beams were covered with a thick layer of dust, on which a row of fresh footprints could be clearly seen leading to the middle of the roof.

Needless to say, the footprints must have been left by the servant, otherwise they wouldn't be so clear.

Long Zun stepped on the footprints on the beams, carefully moved his steps, and walked towards the middle little by little.

After a dozen steps, he was in front of him at the junction of two beams, where there was obviously an extra black cloth bag, and it was firmly stuck in the gap between the two beams.

He walked over, reached out and pulled the bag out of the middle of the beam, and opened it, revealing a thread-bound book.

He took it out of it and grabbed it in his hand, turned it over and saw the title of the book, and he almost fell under it with the book.

The pages are not special, slightly old yellow, and the three characters of Burning Palm written in ink on the book cover are marked in the most obvious place on the book cover.

Long Zun knew that the three words on the book cover in front of him were not special, what was special was the meaning behind these three words.

The Li family's heirloom is a Xuan-level combat skill, and the name is called Flame Palm.

In order to confirm whether it was the Li family's Flame Palm Combat Technique, Long Zun opened it and read a few pages, and hurriedly closed it.

Although he hadn't finished reading it, he could already be sure that the Burning Palm in his hand was really the Li family's treasured Burning Palm combat technique, and it was likely to be the original original, not a simplified manuscript by the old lady of the Li family.

Although he didn't know how the Flame Palm could fall into the hands of a servant, he knew that anyone who took this thing would be hot, unless it was a cultivator or cultivator family who was not afraid of the Li family.

Anyway, if this thing is in his hand, it will definitely be hot, and if he doesn't get it right, it will burn his bald skin. If the Li family knew that something was in his hands, the Long family would definitely not be able to protect him, and if he didn't get it right, he would fall into the well.

Greed is the original sin, and you are not greedy when you say it silently a dozen times in your heart. Blazing Palm asked him to reload and stuff it back.

Turning around and about to walk back, he took less than two steps when he suddenly stopped, looked back at the black cloth bag in the middle of the crack in the beam, and began to hesitate again.

A Xuan-level combat skill, just give up like this, and I am somewhat unwilling in my heart.

Long Zun looked at the black cloth bag on the beam of the room, and subconsciously licked his dry lips.

Such a good opportunity may not be encountered several times in a lifetime.

After fighting in his heart for a while, Long Zun gritted his teeth, turned back, pulled the cloth bag out of the beam again, took out the combat skill manual inside, and sat directly on the beam to look at it.

The finger-thick battle technique handbook was quickly flipped through by him, and the formulas and graphics in it were firmly remembered in his mind, and when he closed the secret book, he came alive again in his mind, and he was sure that it was right, so he put it back in the cloth bag and put it back in the gap between the beams.

Long Zun found a reason for himself to convince himself.

What the Li family wanted was the Flame Palm Combat Technique Handbook, and there was no danger if the thing was not on him, so he chose to memorize all the contents of the Flame Combat Technique.

In this way, even if the Li family finds out that the Burning Flame Palm was originally stolen one day, they will not be able to suspect him.

After everything was done, Long Zun jumped off the beam, left the small courtyard, and returned to the garden on the other side of the courtyard wall.

"Huh, isn't this Brother Long Zun?" Long Zun had just walked to the corridor on the shore of the lake when a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

As a thief, his body stiffened, and he slowly turned around, and saw a person standing there at the Moon Gate, it was Li Houzhong he had seen in Daqingshan.

Long Zun smiled at Li Houzhong with an unnatural face, and waved his hand to say hello.

Li Houzhong, who was in front of the Moon Gate, thought of the previous incident, and was also embarrassed, regretting that he shouldn't have said hello to Long Zun, but the words had already been spoken, so he could only walk over with a hard head.

"You're here for a birthday party?"

"Yes, come to the birthday banquet of Old Lady Li. Long Zun nodded stiffly.

"Alone?"

"No, it's with the old man of the Long Li clan. ”

"Oh, it's a nice view!"

"It's good. ”

Li Houzhong was very embarrassed when he met Long Zun, who had fainted after being drugged, and was worried that Long Zun would bring up the matter, and Long Zun had just 'stole' a copy of the Li family's Xuan-level combat skills when he met the main master and became a thief.

The two of them were more uncomfortable than the other, and they talked for a long time, all of which were unnutritious words.

"That...... I left first, there are a lot of guests here today, and the banquet hall is busy. Li Houzhong finally couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere between the two people, "The birthday banquet is about to start, do you want to go back to the banquet living room together?"

"Okay!" Long Zun Ghost made a promise to come down, and after speaking, he immediately wanted to give himself a mouthful, and he couldn't hide from the Li family, so he sent it to the door.

Fortunately, Li Houzhong didn't want to be with Long Zun, so he immediately repented: "I suddenly remembered that there is still something to do, I'm afraid I can't go to the banquet hall with you, or will you go back by yourself?"

Long Zun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that Li Houzhong would regret agreeing, so he hurriedly said: "If you have something to do, I'll just go back by myself." ”

Watching Li Houzhong flee and leave, Long Zun leaned his back against a pillar in the corridor, secretly wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his hand, and secretly said in his heart, he really didn't do anything bad and was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

After staying in the garden for a while, it was estimated that Li Houzhong should go away, so he rushed back to the banquet room.

As soon as he entered the courtyard of the banquet hall, he could hear the chaotic noise in the front hall from afar, which was much more noisy than before he left.

When he came to the door of the hall, there were many more people in the hall than when he left, and most of the tables were full.

He entered the hall, looked around the hall, and found Long Jun and Long Chi sitting alone at a table in the corner, but both of them hung their heads and wanted to sink their heads into the table.

Long Zun walked over and sat on the table of Long Jun and Long Chi, and as soon as he sat down, he obviously saw the two people's bodies trembling imperceptibly.

If you don't leave Li Jialongzun for a moment, you will be empty-hearted, and you will not be in the mood to care about their affairs.

From the garden to the strange courtyard, Long Zun had been nervous all the way, and when he relaxed, his stomach was suddenly a little hungry.

Ignoring those troublesome things, he directly grabbed a fruit on the table with his hand and put it to his mouth to eat.

"Yo! Isn't this the kid of the Long family who only knows how to hide behind others and eat milk? Ha ha. ”

As soon as he had eaten half of the fruit in his hand, Long Zun's ears rang out with a burst of laughter that made him sick to his stomach.

Raising his head, he turned his head to look over, and saw Sun Dewang coming over with two strange young men, and soon came to his table and stopped.

"Boy, do you remember me?" Sun Dewang slapped the table in front of Long Zun with his hand, and did not deliberately lower his voice when he spoke, attracting the attention of many people in the hall.

Long Zun saw him for a while, tilted his head sideways, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Who are you? Do I know you? Are you tall, handsome, or characteristic? Why do I have to know you?"

"Haha!" As soon as the words fell, many people in the hall laughed, and of course, some people pursed their lips and did not make a sound.

Click!

Sun Dewang crushed the wine glass in his hand, and a trace of anger flashed on his face.

At this time, Long Chi secretly pulled his clothes and whispered: "He is Sun Dewang, not long ago he set up in the ring and injured Long Xiang and Long Yun, have you forgotten?"
