Chapter 30: Being a Thief

Tang Lang put on the night clothes, both of them covered their faces tightly with hoods, Ji Fengyu raised his hand to extinguish the lights in the house, the door was buckled from the inside, gently opened the window, jumped slightly, turned downstairs, stood in the shadows on tiptoe, beckoned to Tang Lang again and again, signaling him to hurry down.

Although he felt very absurd, Tang Lang still followed the instructions of his mentor, flipped down from downstairs, and stood beside the other party, Ji Fengyu whispered: "The first lesson of special training: stealth! From here, we have to pass through classrooms, student dormitories, canteens and gates all the way to the outside of the school, and no one can find our traces on the way, nor can we use any martial arts and spells, just rely on dexterous reaction and prediction." Got it?"

After Ji Fengyu finished speaking, he silently escaped with the help of the darkness on the side of the road, every time he passed by the street lamp, the figure would shake strangely, even if Tang Lang stared intently, he could only see a faint black shadow, which couldn't help but make his eyes light up.

Tang Lang pondered in his heart for a while, simulating the other party's movements and preparing to move forward, just took two steps to know the big gap, just now Ji Fengyu barely made any sound when he walked, even the footprints were only a thin layer, if he didn't deliberately look for it, he couldn't detect it at all, and even if he put his steps to the lightest, he couldn't avoid the sound of clothes rubbing against his body and accidentally touching the grass and trees.

Finally walked to the place where Ji Fengyu stopped and waited for him, Tang Lang was already sweating slightly.

"Mentor, your stealth skills are really amazing!But I don't understand, what does this have to do with your usual practice?" Tang Lang still didn't understand the other party's intentions.

Ji Fengyu lowered his voice and said, "I didn't expect your foundation to be so poor! What does it have to do with cultivation? Let me ask you, what is the most important thing in fighting against people?"

"At that time, it was a martial art or a spell! Whoever has a high level of skill and is skilled in using it will definitely win!" Tang Lang replied without thinking.

"Bullshit! I thought you kid had a lot of ideas, but how could you have been brainwashed by these incompetent lecturers and become so pedantic! According to you, everyone doesn't have to fight in the future, as long as they tell each other their most powerful martial arts, the bad side will directly admit defeat, where is there such a good thing!" Ji Fengyu suddenly became angry, and taught him a lesson with a straight face.

Tang Lang was thoughtful in his heart, Ji Fengyu did not give up, and continued to scold: "Whether it is a battle in the ring or a life-and-death struggle, the purpose is to finally defeat the opponent, so you must use the fastest speed to make the opponent overwhelmed, and at the same time, you must reduce your own flaws, so that the opponent has nothing to do." ”

Thinking of the martial arts in his previous life, "the world's martial arts, only fast is not broken", Tang Lang empathized with its meaning, but did not understand the connection between reducing flaws and stealth, Ji Fengyu saw his puzzled gaze, and could only continue patiently: "Let's talk about the speed of the shot first. Take the Fireball Spell and the Flame Burst Spell as examples, it only takes half a breath to cast the Fireball Spell, while the Flame Burst Spell takes a breath of time, as long as I can master the rhythm, I can make the opponent's Flame Burst Spell never cast, and the same is true for high-level spells, no matter how powerful it is, it is in vain if I don't have a chance to use it!"

"And about the flaws, it's easier to understand! If you run at me in stride, I don't have to meet the enemy head-on, just attack your legs, and if you don't dodge, I'll knock you to the ground, and you won't have a chance to get close to me. Whether it is martial arts or spells, there are more or less flaws, as long as you are used by the enemy, even people who are much inferior to you can easily defeat you. ”

"And stealth, that is, you treat everything around you as an imaginary enemy, pay attention to your every move all the time, control every trace of flesh and blood in your body to the extreme, even if there is a flaw, it will move in a flash, and the opponent has no way to start!

Tang Lang didn't expect a simple sneak to be told a set of tirades by the other party, and immediately didn't know how to do it, and nodded frequently to indicate that he was taught, Ji Fengyu gave up, twisted his body, and continued to walk towards the school gate.

This time, Tang Lang hurriedly called out the monitoring function of the system, recorded all the tutor's posture and stride, and prepared to study it carefully. The two stepped out of the school gate one after the other, and when they passed by his grandfather's residence, Tang Lang also glanced into the room, the lights had been turned off, and he thought that his grandfather had already slept peacefully.

At night, there are not many people walking on campus, and many streets in the city are still brightly lit, and it takes more than an hour to stop and go, Ji Fengyu took Tang Lang to a restaurant to stand still, hiding in the shadow of the street corner on the side.

Tang Lang took a closer look, wasn't this the Minghai Restaurant he had come to before, and couldn't help asking: "Mentor, I didn't bring a money bag after I changed my clothes just now, and the food here is not cheap, if you want to eat something, why don't you change into a restaurant?"

Ji Fengyu couldn't help but knock a shiver on his head again: "Do you think I brought you here to eat and drink?" Here is the second lesson of your special training: you sneaked into the wine cellar here alone and stole a jar of forgetful wine for me!"

"What, Mentor, you actually asked me to be a thief and steal wine? Can we change the topic to a more reliable one, my top student of Canglei Academy, in case someone is caught, it will be very shameless!" Tang Lang said with a bitter face.

"I'd rather find a more difficult topic! Why don't you go and steal the treasury of the government? With your current skills, you can only do these little things of stealing chickens and dogs. Remember, if someone is caught, don't say that it's a student of the academy, let alone that I arranged for you to come, don't you hear it? If you dare to leak a little bit of news, you'll be dead!" Ji Fengyu didn't care about the other party's feelings at all, and kicked Tang Lang's ass directly, kicking him directly to the brightly lit place.

"Hey, I'll go ......" Tang Lang almost tripped and fell to the ground, and when he turned around, Ji Fengyu had long since disappeared, so he hurriedly crawled and hid, recalling the layout of the interior of Minghai Restaurant in his mind, roughly deducing the possible location of the wine cellar, taking a deep breath and touching it.

At this time, it is the busiest time of the day for Minghai Restaurant, the restaurant on the upper and lower floors is already full, pushing the glass and changing the lamp, staggering, and the bartender and Xiao Er are busy serving food and wine. Tang Lang circled around the high wall outside the restaurant, walked to the backyard and found a secluded corner, used his hands and feet together, and climbed on the wall to observe carefully.

The backyard wasn't as lively as the antechamber, it was dark and quiet, except for the occasional bartender or two passing by with a lantern. Tang Lang exerted a little force, and the whole person entered the restaurant along the wall. According to common sense, the wine jar will generally dig a cellar in the shade for storage, Tang Lang looked around by the moonlight, and found that several places may be where the wine cellar is located, which needs to be implemented one by one.

First came to a small door under a rockery, there was a copper lock hanging on the door, the keyhole was polished to shine, obviously it was often opened and used, but Tang Lang did not have any tools to open the lock, pushed the small door hard, found that the line did not move, and lay on the door and smelled the smell, and there was no smell of wine wafting out, so he turned around and dived towards another location.

Halfway through, the two juniors suddenly walked briskly from the front hall, talking as they walked.

"Business is really good today, we moved ten jars of wine in the afternoon, and all of them were sold. I wonder if the shopkeeper will give out a little more reward after closing?"

"Don't dream! Our shopkeeper is deadly! Even if you make money, it is spent on the top brand of Yicui Building, how can you be willing to reward us!"

"Be quiet, you don't want to do it, if someone hears me, I'll be affected......"

The two of them passed by the big tree where Tang Lang was hiding, but they didn't notice anyone, came to a row of low bungalows, and pushed open the door on the far right. After a while, the two of them each walked out of it with a jar of wine and returned to the antechamber.

Tang Lang's eyes lit up, and the wine cellar he was looking for was in front of him, so he ran to the door in three or two steps, and with a gentle push, a strong aroma of wine came to his nose......

The inside of the hut is not big, a passage leads obliquely to the underground, Tang Lang did not dare to break in, lying on the passage and listening to it for a long time, confirming that there was no movement, and then he walked down quickly, ready to take the wine and flee quickly.

Walking to the bottom of the passage, a dim oil lamp barely illuminates the wine cellar, and a row of neatly stacked wine jars meets Tang Lang's eyes, and there are red pieces of paper pasted on the wine jars, on which are written all kinds of wine names: Tianol, Xianggui, Jinjiang Spring, Zhenzhu Spring, Grape Brewing...... Unexpectedly, there were more than ten kinds of fine wines operated by Minghai Restaurant, and Tang Lang searched for a long time before he found the target set by the tutor at the end of the wine cellar - forget worry wine.

This wine is more precious, the wine jar is obviously much finer, only larger than the usual wine jug, and a knot is tied tightly at the mouth of the altar with a red rope, without a trace of wine fragrance overflowing. Tang Lang picked up a jar of forgetful wine, walked up quickly, and before he came to the passage, he heard someone enter the hut above his head.

"It's broken, it's blocked inside!What should I do, if I find out, it's going to be troublesome!" Tang Lang glanced around the wine cellar, the size was no more than a few zhang, and there were wine jars piled up on both sides, only a narrow aisle in the middle, and there was nowhere to hide.

The footsteps above his head were getting closer and closer, Tang Lang was in a hurry, stood in the corner of the passage, and pressed his back tightly against the wall, as long as the visitor did not deliberately look back, he would not be easily discovered, and at the same time bent down on the ground to pick up a piece of wine jar fragment.

As soon as Tang Lang stood still, the person who came had already entered the wine cellar and walked directly towards the wine jar to be used, but he didn't expect that there was a big living person hidden behind him. When he walked out more than ten steps, Tang Lang aimed at the direction of the oil lamp, and threw the fragments of the wine jar in his hand vigorously, and with a crisp sound of "ding", the oil lamp went out in response.

"Oh, help, come on!" the person who came was suddenly frightened and panicked, and shouted in place.

Tang Lang dared to stay anywhere, according to the location of the passage in his memory, he ran back to the ground in three or two steps, observed the situation in the backyard slightly, rushed to the corner of the wall, and followed the way to climb over the wall.
