Chapter 16 Stepping on the Point

[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Mu Qingming had learned what he wanted to know from the mouth of the Immortal Dao Master, and made up his mind to proceed according to the original plan. At the same time, Mu Qingming and his wife also restored everything in the secret prison, and also washed away the memories of the Immortal Dao Cultivator and the local guards. It was as if the dragon lockers had never been here at all, leaving no trace or breath. After drawing out Tie Hua Tie Aunt to discuss, she felt that it was difficult for Mu Qingming to change her way, anyway, the plan was also feasible, it was better to let Mu Qingming continue, the second elder decided to put more effort into protecting Mu Qingming. And the thieves hired by Mu Qingming have also started to act, and the early stepping points have begun. 】

The moonlight is like water, like frost.

There was still coldness in the clarity, and after sprinkling it on the ground, it made the room brighter.

In the night sky after the rain, the stars are also bright, and they are listed above the sky.

The warm water in the basin at the foot of Tie Birch has already cooled down. However, Tie Hua still did not pull out his feet and continued to step on the footbasin.

Worried, he had forgotten that he was still washing his feet.

"I'm thinking." Tie Hua, who swallowed the clouds and spit out the mist, said to Aunt Tie: "Is there any way, let the young master change the way, this plan is always too risky." ”。

The smoke made the moonlight even hazy and a little more foggy.

Aunt Tie didn't say anything, frowned, and fell into deep thought as she groaned.

Naturally, she knew about this plan, and it was indeed very risky. To put it bluntly, Mu Qingming set up a game like this, but he was just seeking wealth and danger, and Mu Qingming wanted to win in danger and embark on a risky move.

However, Aunt Tie was more confident in Mu Qingming's actions and plans than Tie Hua.

Since the death of her son Tie Bao, before Mu Qingming was a hundred years old, Aunt Tie was almost inseparable from this child.

She regarded Mu Qingming as a continuation of her child's life, and when she looked at Mu Qingming, it was as if she had seen Tiebao. But during this time, Aunt Tie also saw Mu Qingming's efforts and intelligence.

At that time, Mu Qingming's demonic qi was extremely unstable, and it was impossible to refine Qi in an orderly manner, and the effect of casting spells, speed, and power were greatly reduced.

In such a situation, Mu Qingming wanted to survive in the demon subjugation, and had to rely on his wit to make up for his natural defects.

Gradually, Aunt Tie not only saw the growth of a young dragon locker, but also appreciated Mu Qingming. He is full of confidence in Mu Qingming's every move, word and deed in the future.

"Maybe we should believe Qing Ming, he is no longer a child, he is a child and his father." After a long time, Aunt Tie, who frowned slightly, said to Tie Hua: "Even if it is dangerous, if there is a slight mistake, Young Master Chi may die. But the young master is not a reckless man, he must have thought it through when he decided to do this, and he must know that this plan is feasible. ”。

Tie Hua was not surprised, nor did he agree, but silently shook his head a few times in the oblique moonlight, and directly rejected the proposal, saying, "No, I still can't watch the young master go on an adventure." He is just a father, if something happens because of this plan, it will be more than worth the loss. ”。

Although Tie Hua still didn't agree, his heart was already shaken.

He knew that what his wife said was not added, and Mu Qingming dared to risk his life, he must have been fully prepared.

Without eighty percent or even full certainty, Mu Qingming would not have taken any risks. Mu Qingming generally does not choose to act recklessly or impulsively when it comes to big things.

"However, the young master must have his thoughts. He's done it, and now if you let him give up halfway, he won't agree. Aunt Tie picked up the burlap foot towel on the stool next to her and handed it to Tie Hua: "And you also said that he is not a child anymore, shouldn't we trust and believe him more?" ”。

Tie Hua, who took the towel to wipe his feet, thought about it while carefully wiping his big feet.

After a long time, Tie Hua wiped his feet, and felt that maybe Aunt Tie was right. Mu Qingming has grown up, and among the dragon lockers with an average age of more than 600 years, Mu Qingming, who is in his 300s, is already an adult.

It should be believed and trusted that Mu Qingming has the ability to tide over the difficulties. You should also believe and trust Mu Qingming's plan.

"Alas, well, then let the young master try his own plan first." Tie Hua, who put down the towel, finally changed his mind a little, and after a sigh, he said: "But in this way, we have to work harder, and we must protect the young master in secret." ”。

He also wants to do a good job of answering secretly, undoubtedly to protect Mu Qingming.

After a pause, Tie Hua said again: "You and I still have to worry about it, the child who doesn't grow up." ”。

Aunt Tie smiled but did not speak; In their eyes, isn't Mu Qingming always a child?

It's just that Aunt Tie didn't refute Tie Hua this time, and then said: "That's it, the main thing is to let the young master do it according to the plan, after all, this is an opportunity to completely eradicate the Immortal Dao, and it is not a good thing to miss the opportunity." ”。

"Hmm." Tie Hua, who had already stretched his brows, picked up his cigarette stick again, squinted and smiled, and smoked......

The next day, it was another sunny day in Spring City.

The sky above the sky is clear, and there are not a few clouds.

However, such a sunny day also has a scorching sun, and the whole sun-shrouded spring city is very bright and a little hot.

Knowing it, it screamed tirelessly under the scorching sun, and the sound of the sound echoed all over the city and beyond, rising and falling in the wind.

A few men with straw hats and carrying goods traveled out of the city in groups to Guandu in the south.

Guandu has always been not only the south gate of Kunming Spring City, but also one of the important wharves and ports on the east bank of Dianchi Lake.

Relying on the Dianchi Lake water transport road, it has become one of the water transport hubs on the east coast.

The goods transported by ship from the west bank of Dianchi Lake either entered the city from the Zhangtang Wharf, or came to Guandu, or unloaded, or re-entered the city along the Panlong River.

But wherever there is a pier, it has always been very lively. The official ferry outside the city is no exception, even if it is just a wharf of a lake, not as big as the big wharf of the big river, but the people who drive, pull the carts, do small business, and sell coolies all gather here, thinking of finding a job to do on the wharf.

So in the daytime, Guandu will be lively.

The men carrying the burden entered the official ferry, and did not go to the wharf, but walked around the bustling and noisy town of pedestrians, taking a closer look, shouting and selling.

The things they sell are all mountain goods, but they also have a wide variety.

From the beginning of summer to autumn, the people of central Yunnan like to eat the fungi that grow in the soil after the rain in the mountains, and this kind of mountain goods are very popular. The burdens of these men are the fungi collected in the mountains.

Although they are all fungi, they are varied, and some call them the king of fungi, and their meat is fat and strong, and the quality is white and similar to the chicken fir of chicken. There are delicious porcini mushrooms, dried mushrooms with rich fragrance and tough flesh, and green head mushrooms with white and tender flesh and fragrant aroma.

But these men are actually not mountain people who sell mountain goods. Although they are well prepared, their true identity is still a thief.

They are the Snitches hired by the Mu Qing Underworld.

Unlike the stragglers, they are very professional in their gang of snitches.

This is just stepping on the things that Mu Qingming explained, but he is also well prepared, just like the people in the mountains, going down the mountain to buy and sell.

They carried the burden and sold it while walking, because the Yunnan people were so delicious and mushrooms, so they walked around the town, and most of the mountain goods in the burden had been sold.

Let these snitches make a lot of money because of this.

And the route they walked was just a seemingly aimless wandering. In fact, they have been circling around the town, an ancient pagoda with a ** and an ancient pagoda carved with Buddha statues on all sides.

This ancient pagoda was built in the Ming Dynasty as the King Kong Pagoda of Buddhism. The statue of Lux on the tower, with eyes gazing at the vicissitudes of hundreds of years. After a hundred years of wind and rain, it is still not angry and self-threatening, and it is lifelike.

Five towers of various sizes are built on the square pedestal, towering to the sky. The central tower is the largest, majestic and domineering. Scattered around the four corners, the four small pagodas are slightly shorter, symbolizing the "mandala" (altar) of the Vajra branch of Buddhist Tantra, which is dedicated to the five Buddhas of Vajra and the bodhisattvas of the heavens.

The square Sumeru seat has a pillar around the waist. The body of the tower is barrel-shaped, and it is thick at both ends and thin in the middle. The lower half is a seven-circle lotus petal, also known as the seven-treasure diamond circle, which shrinks layer by layer like a step. The upper half of the tower body is smooth like a covered bowl, the upper is large and the lower is small, and the Buddhist shrine is set up on all sides, and it is also called the open eye door. Above the tower body is a square Sumeru-style tower neck, bearing thirteen days (phase wheel). Tasha has a copper forging umbrella cover, hanging eight bells, and the cover surface stands four bronze casting heavenly king treasure statues. Then the upper part is a round light made of stone, and there are small bells on all sides. The top of the brake is a vase and a jewel.

At the top of the cave of the pedestal cross coupon, there is a piece of copper casting carved plate inscribed, the four corners of the cloud pattern are decorated, the central eight-leaf lotus, sit down eight such as lai, sit alone in the middle of the big day, this is the Buddhist magic instrument "Vajra world nine will mandala".

Because there is a cross at the bottom of the pedestal, the locals call it "the tower that pierces the heart".

According to the information of the dragon lock people, the snitches learned that the spirit bead that the dragon lock people wanted was under the Buddha statue of Da Ri Rulai, who was sitting alone in the tower.

But this Buddha statue is integrated with the stone pagoda, and it is indeed not easy to take out this spirit bead.

But for the snitches, there's always a way for them.

Today, they stepped on the point in order to find the best way to steal the spirit beads.

Not only must you complete the task assigned by the dragon locker, but you also have to use a trick to steal the beam and change the pillar, put the fake spirit bead into the tower without knowing it, and then change the real one out unconsciously.

After walking around, these snitch men were also a little tired and their feet were sore, and they stopped on the side street opposite the ancient tower, stopped under the eaves of the roadside, put down their burdens on the spot, sat on the stone bars by the wall, and fanned the wind with straw hats as fans, and rested in the shade.

From time to time, my eyes always move to the ancient pagoda opposite.

Under the sun, the ancient pagoda that has stood for hundreds of years is still so magnificent. The King Kong carved on the tower body glowed with a faint layer of golden light in the sunlight.

King Kong, whose eyes were wide open, seemed to be alive.

"There are still a lot of people living around here, even if we do it at night, we can't have less Ecstasy incense." One of the men, the leader of the snitches who came here today, looked around the ancient tower, and saw that there were rows of small courtyards of private houses, as well as theaters and so on, and whispered to the other snitches: "When the time comes, you must ensure that you can't let others pass by here, otherwise your actions will be exposed." ”。

Several others nodded slightly, expressing their approval.

Just as someone came to buy the fungus in their burden, the snitches went about their business happily again.

With their incorruptible tongues, they vigorously sell the bacteria they picked to customers.

Only one of the snitches, who ignored the customer and handed over the business to his companion. In the midst of the bargaining, he leisurely waved the wide-brimmed straw hat in his hand and fanned the wind, while continuing to look at the ancient pagoda in front of him.

The ancient tower under the blue sky and white clouds, standing quietly, there is a brick and stone on the tower, and the eyes of this person's eyes are faintly yellowed.

The color of this snitch's eyes, although somewhat abnormal, is also unique to him.

His eyes are not just as simple as the color is a little different from ordinary people, but all the items he has seen, the length, width, height and arc angle, it is already clear at a glance, and it is more accurate than calipers and other measuring instruments.

Before joining the snitch in the past, this person was following a carpenter in western Yunnan to learn the arts. The carpenter treated him like his own son, and he did not reserve his art.

This man is also very competitive, diligent and studious, and he has learned all the skills of a carpenter.

But the carpenter was too poor because of his fair fees, and suddenly he died of illness and could not even make a decent coffin. This man joined the snitch, earned money for the funeral and coffin, and buried his master.

Since then, they have stayed in the Snitch to work for them, and have become a member of the Snitch.

The skills he learned from the carpenter naturally helped the snitches a lot.

This gang of snitches can steal real and fake goods, and most of them rely on this person's ability to see the specifications of other people's property at a glance, which can perfectly imitate the exact same, enough to steal beams and change pillars with fake and real guys.

He had only been looking at it for a while, and the data of the length, width, and height of the ancient tower in front of him were almost clear at a glance.

Including the data of the base of the tower, it is clear at a glance in the eyes of this snitch.

Even the length and width of each stone brick, as well as the curvature of the tower, etc., he also knew it clearly when he looked at it.

On the other hand, his accomplices had already sold a lot of mushrooms to people who came to buy them, and made a few more bucks.

After the mushroom buyers dispersed, the snitch who was now led by the group touched the arm of the snitch with yellow eyes next to him with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Huang Yan, how are you looking?" ”。

"The stepping point can be over, and when I go back today, I can draw the shape of this ancient tower and so on." The man with yellow eyes, known as Huang Yan, put the straw hat on his head, and said confidently: "But how to do it, you have to let An Lao scrutinize." ”。

Their gang of snitches is divided and cooperated. All Huang Yan could do was to look at the ancient pagoda and draw it into a detailed map. As for how to do it on the building, it's up to the other snitches to do it.

How do the snitches take out the orbs? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.

A few days ago, I also saw a news that the number of people who died of poisoning by eating fungi in Yunnan this year has exceeded the number of people who died of the new crown in Yunnan. Warm reminder, if there are Yunnan readers to see the official, you must pay more attention when eating mushrooms, don't eat the mushrooms you don't know, and be sure to fry the mushrooms at the entrance. 】
