The night breeze is blowing, and the crescent moon is like a hook.

On a summer night, the heat is gone, and the surrounding vegetation is filled with cicadas singing one after another. This is the foot of Mount Tai Jade Emperor Peak, the surrounding area is very desolate, there are no buildings.

At this time, you should have slept in the bed, and even if you didn't sleep, you shouldn't have run to this kind of place to shake around.

But at this moment, there were three night walkers standing here, not only were they not sleepy, but they were all in good spirits, and their eyes were like electricity.

Among the three people, the leader was dressed in black short brown, with a silver mask on his face, and a dart bag on his waist. Behind him, stood a fat man with a fortune, and a thin middle-aged man.

The fat man whose fortune was named Yan Hongfei, nicknamed the water swallow. The skinny middle-aged man was called Sun Ling, and his nickname was pervasive.

The silver dart man led these two people over tonight in order to officially implement the plan, intending to snatch the Zichu Sword in the hands of Zhao Zheng, who now lives in the Taishan faction. The plan he had set tonight was foolproof, and he would never miss it, just like the cases he had done before.

In a whole set of plans, he needed a Taishan faction insider, a locksmith, a "stone" and a light skill master, and now these people and things have all been collected to form a flawless team.

The purpose of finding out the inside should be to find out in advance the news in the Taishan faction, Zhao Zheng's residence, and the details of the transfer and distribution of personnel in the faction.

The purpose of finding a locksmith was to pry open a door hidden deep within the Tarzan Pai Mountain. This job was supposed to be a little mouse. Sun Yue did it, but for some reason, this person did not participate in that meeting, so he later found another locksmith to replace him, that is, the pervasive person next to him. Sun Ling.

Sun Ling and Sun Yue are uncles and nephews, Sun Yue is the lock-picking skills and introductory martial arts that he learned from his uncle Sun Ling, if you count it, Sun Ling's lock-picking skills are better than Sun Yue, and he is a better helper.

Finding a "stone" is naturally not an ordinary stone, but a rare "soul suppressing stone" in the world, which can suppress the sword spirit in the sword, making the sword spirit lifeless and unable to function. If you want to capture the best or best sword, you must have the help of such a special stone.

The purpose of finding a light skill master is to carry out the most important snatching action, the better the light skill, the less likely it is to alarm the masters in the Taishan faction, and they can take away the Zichu Sword unknowingly.

As for the silver dart himself, he only needs to be in charge of the abbot's overall situation. If everything goes well, he doesn't even need to do it himself, everything can be done by a few other people. Every time he committed a crime in the past, he arranged it like this, and this feeling fascinated him.

"This is it." The Silver Dart stood on his heels, pointed to the front, and said. On the opposite side is a mountain wall at the foot of the Jade Emperor Peak Mountain, there is an inconspicuous mountain crack in the mountain wall, which is difficult for outsiders to see under the shade of some vegetation.

Yan Hongfei squinted his eyes, stared at the crack in the mountain twice, and asked, "This is the entrance to the secret passage?" ”

"Yes, this is the entrance to the secret passage, and you can't go wrong. It was Jiang Jiuzhi who pointed out this entrance for me, and I had personally explored it. Through this secret passage, you can avoid the eyes and ears of the Taishan faction and go directly to the top of the Jade Emperor, but there will be an iron gate blocking the way on the way. The silver dart man said and turned his head to look at the thin Sun Ling, "Then I will have to trouble you to do it." ”

"I'll do something, don't worry, just leave the matter of unlocking to me. But the ugly words are ahead, I will leave immediately after opening the lock, and I will not get involved in the matter of seizing the sword. Sun Ling said in a male duck voice.

"You people can do your job, I will never let you do the work that doesn't belong to you." Silver Dart reassured.

"It's for the best." Sun Ling smiled and nodded, and then sighed, "I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to work with the Silver Dart Guest, which is also an honor for someone like me who makes a living by picking locks." ”

"If our cooperation goes well this time, maybe I will come to you again the next time we have business." Silver Dart said.

"Thanks for the lift." Sun Ling arched his hand.

"It's getting late, let's go." With that, the silver dart man led the team towards the crack in the mountain, and from the weeds, squeezed sideways into the crack in the mountain.

This crack is about two feet wide, and it is difficult to walk in upright, but it is much easier to walk sideways. But this kind of ease is only relatively speaking, like a swallow copying water. A fat man like Yan Hongfei can't squeeze in even if he leans sideways.

The silver dart guest was the first to enter the mountain crack, Sun Ling was the second to enter, and Yan Hongfei was the last.

If an ordinary big fat man stood in front of this mountain crevice, he could only look away, but Yan Hongfei flew an ordinary fat man, only to see him use his internal force, and suddenly close his abdomen, and the fat on his body miraculously and quickly closed, making him transform into a slender thin man. After he became thinner, he easily entered the crevice of the mountain without much effort.

The silver dart guest led the way in front, although it was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers in this mountain crevice, but these people's cultivation was not low, and they could see things in the night.

This crack is the exit of a secret passage, and the real entrance is located on the top of the Jade Emperor, and the original intention of this secret passage is to use it just in case. If the Taishan Sect is attacked, the disciples of the sect can use the secret passage to escape quickly. For all sects, building this kind of secret passage can be described as a mixed pros and cons, it is possible to use this secret passage to escape, or it is possible to be used by the enemy.

For the Silver Dart Hunters, if they don't take this secret path, but climb the mountain in the normal way, the danger level is much higher.

The group walked a long way along the crack in the mountain, and the front became wider and wider, until they were able to walk sideways normally. Although they knew that there was no one guarding this place, just in case, several people still put their steps very lightly, and magnified their five senses, carefully observing the wind and grass around them.

They walked all the way to the center of the mountain, and reached the end of the crevice, where there was no road, but a ladder that led straight up. This ladder leads to the top of the Jade Emperor Peak, which is more than 1,000 meters high, and this ladder is also more than 1,000 meters high. The ladder is carved out of the mountain wall, and a series of protrusions are carved out from the mountain wall for people to grasp and step on. Standing below and looking up, there is no edge at all, only deep darkness.

The ladder was reserved for people to climb, but two of the three did not intend to climb it.

The silver dart man and Yan Hongfei stood under the ladder, looked up, and rose up one after the other, relying on pure internal force buoyancy to float upward. These two people all have the ability to fly only by internal force, and even if they don't kick the ground, they can fly all the way to the top of the Jade Emperor. These two people can do this, Sun Lingke can't do it, his cultivation is much lower than these two people, and he has no internal force to float in the air, so he can only honestly climb the ladder.

Two of them flew and one crawled, and they traveled upwards for about a mile or so.

Flying and flying, the silver dart man felt that this speed was too slow, so he took a hand, grabbed Sun Ling, who was not strong enough, and carried him upward. In this way, the three of them traveled much faster, and soon reached the position halfway up the mountain.

A large round iron gate lay across the trio's heads, blocking their way.

This iron door is made of extremely strong iron, which is invulnerable, invulnerable, and invulnerable. Moreover, there is an ambush inside the iron gate, if it is broken by brute force, it will affect the mechanism inside, and the mechanism will use the iron cable and bell to send an alarm to the top of the mountain, alarming the people of the Tarzan faction.

There are only two ways to get through this iron door, either open it with a key or pry it open with a magic trick, and don't expect to be able to break it with brute force. After opening this iron gate, the road behind it will be unimpeded, and you can go straight to the top of the Jade Emperor.

"Brother Sun, it's time for you to show your might." The silver dart man raised his hand and pointed to the iron door, then made a gesture of please.

"It's good to wrap the lock on me, but there's no place to stay here, it's really troublesome, and I don't have the ability to levitate in the air." Sun Ling looked around and said worriedly.

"It's easy to do, just leave it to me." The silver dart man said easily. He lifted Sun Ling to the edge of the stone staircase, let Sun Ling climb up, and then levitated under the iron gate, calculated the optimal distance between Sun Ling and the iron gate, raised his hand, and condensed it into a glowing sheet with internal force.

The thin plate is round, suspended in mid-air, like a glowing jade mirror, which will not disperse for a long time.

Only a martial artist who has reached the realm of the eightfold heavenly power from the heart can freely shape the internal force into various shapes, and being able to do this proves that the mysterious silver dart master has at least the cultivation of the eightfold heaven, and even higher than that!

"Brother Sun, please! I assure you that this makeshift pedal is sturdy, and not even an elephant standing on it, let alone you. The silver dart man laughed. Although he wears a silver mask that others can't see clearly, there is a distinct smile in his voice.

Sun Ling's face showed admiration, swallowed his saliva, and jumped on the thin board with courage, shaking it three times, and then he stood firm. He found it smooth as a mirror, and it was steady, and it was very solid to step on. He hugged his fist at the silver dart guest and exclaimed: "The silver dart guest really deserves his reputation, and his martial arts have reached the realm of transformation, which is really admired by Sun someone." ”

"No matter how powerful the silver dart is, he won't be able to open the lock, and this kind of work still has to trouble you, Brother Sun." The silver dart man laughed.

Hearing this compliment, Sun Ling's heart was simply happy, and he felt honored to be praised by the silver dart guest. He happily grabbed the treasure bag hanging from his waist and took out all kinds of lock-picking tools, including those with sharp points, sharp ones, hooked ones, and thorny ones...... In short, everything is available.

The keyhole of the iron door is located in the center of the iron door, about the thickness of a little finger.

Sun Ling raised his head, picked up a special lock-picking tool, stuffed it into the keyhole, and began to pick the lock with his surname. The secret passage iron gate built by the dignified Taishan faction is naturally not so easy to pry open. He couldn't pry it open for a long time, and he changed several tools during this time. Time passed little by little, one stick of incense passed, two pillars of incense passed, and three sticks of incense passed. He became more and more anxious, his face became more and more ugly, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his cheeks and dripped onto the placket of his clothes. Obviously, this iron door is more difficult to open than he imagined.

If this iron door cannot be pried open, everyone will not be able to pass through this secret passage, and they can only change other ways to go to the Taishan faction, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the risk, and it is very likely to alarm the masters in the Taishan faction who are responsible for guarding the mountain and patrolling.

The Silver Dart didn't want to see that happen.

In order to improve Sun Ling's lock-picking skills and give Sun Ling a sense of urgency, the silver dart guest said lightly: "Brother Sun, this pedal that I condensed with internal force will disappear in about half a column of incense, if you can't pry the door open within this time, you can watch it yourself." ”

There was a strong threat in these words, Sun Ling shuddered when he heard this, he really didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Banzhu Xiangnei failed to pry open the iron door, anyway, there would definitely be no good end. If the silver dart is delayed, I'm afraid this will become his burial place!

"Don't worry, I'll be able to open the door within half a pillar of incense." Sun Ling took a deep breath, restrained his nervousness, ordered his hands not to tremble, and then continued to seize the time to open the lock, shaking out all the lock-picking skills at the bottom of the life-pressing box.

Time passed little by little, the cold sweat on Sun Ling's body had already soaked through his clothes, the internal force sheet under his feet became more and more dim, the edges were disappearing little by little, and the place for him to settle down became smaller and smaller. With a heavy iron gate above his head, a bottomless secret passage under his feet, and two warriors eyeing him by his side, this situation has driven him to a dead end.

He had always been bold when he was a thief, but he had to regret it at this time, and if he could choose again, he would definitely not agree to the invitation of the silver dartman. But then I thought about it, if he hadn't agreed to the invitation of the Silver Dartman, would he still be alive until now?

Everything is unknown, and few people in the outside world know the spleen surname of the silver dart guest, only that this is a shocking thief who has no false darts and will succeed in committing crimes.

"Click!"

Just when Sun Ling was on the verge of despair, a pleasant sound finally came from the iron gate, and then a gap was revealed, and the middle of the iron gate was divided into two, each hanging down, revealing the passage leading to the top.

Seeing this scene, Sun Ling suddenly felt like he was in a desperate situation, and couldn't help but let out a low sigh. At this moment, the internal force plate under his feet also reached its limit, and it dissipated without a trace with a pop, causing him to fall. He was startled, his complexion changed suddenly, and his body fell downward. But as soon as he fell, the silver dart next to him reached out and grabbed him firmly in his hand.

"Pervasive, it is really pervasive, even the door of the Taishan faction can be opened, today is really thanks to you." The Silver Dart Man smiled. Seeing the iron door open, he regained his previous pleasant attitude.

"Fluke, fluke." Primal Sun breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"According to Jiang Jiuzhi's claim, there are no other doors above the iron gate, and the next route is just for the two of us to continue walking, please go back." The Silver Dart Man put Sun Ling back on the stone staircase.

Sun Ling didn't want to break into the Jade Emperor's top, so he wished he had withdrawn as soon as possible. He said goodbye to the other two accomplices, hurried down the stone stairs, and left the place of right and wrong ahead of time. (To be continued.) )
