Chapter Seventy-Five: The Second Dish Five Spice Hall
The sun is in the west, and dusk has arrived.
"Young Master, what are you thinking?" Bai Jie sat on a big rock, looked at the fifth Tingyun frowning and contemplating, and asked. They are already more than ten miles away from the Fengdu City Gate, and the road conditions in the woods are complicated, and the branches and leaves are lush, so it is easy to get lost, but they don't have to worry about being chased by others.
The fifth Tingyun shook his head and said that it was nothing. He didn't intend to tell Bai Jie about his current situation, which would only increase his worries and troubles. The criminal department openly issued a wanted warrant, which only made it more difficult for him to move forward from then on, which meant that the criminal department could directly and forcibly arrest him, without fear of the school.
This is undoubtedly bad news for him.
What he was thinking about at this time was whether to go to Jiaqing to participate in the promotion and exemption qualifying tournament. The school department can no longer be used as his basis now, and it is very likely that he will fall into the trap of the criminal department if he goes to Jiaqing. But if you don't go, then the opportunity to obtain the bronze badge of the Martial God Temple will be lost......
After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't make any decisions. After thinking about it, he still planned to sneak into Fengdu City first to see the situation before making a decision, not to mention that their dry food was also insufficient and they urgently needed supplies.
"Xiaojie, you are here waiting for me to come back. "Fifth Tingyun untied the sea silk sword bag, took out the sword from the sheath, and then handed the sword bag to Bai Jie. He only carried a sword, but he was worried that his appearance would be too dazzling during the day, and he would make a deep impression.
"I'll go too. Bai Jie said urgently.
Fifth Tingyun shook his head and said, "No, the two of us have appeared during the day, the target is too big, and it is easy to be discovered if we are together now." You and the cripple stay here, and I'll go alone. ”
Bai Jie was still about to speak, and the fifth Tingyun said again: "I will definitely come back before dawn tomorrow!" Bai Jie compromised.
The fifth Tingyun carried the sword of departure, and shuttled through the forest by the afterglow of dusk, and when he came to the wall of Fengdu again, the sky had completely darkened. Two large reddish-brown lanterns above the city gate, plus a row of more than a dozen fires outside the city gate, illuminated the inside and outside of the city gate.
The lanterns are painted with inky black ghost shadows, the wind blows, the candle flame shakes, causing the ghost shadows projected on the ground to show their teeth and claws, quite a bit of a strange atmosphere, the name of Fengdu ghost town can only be shown at night such times. The soldiers under the city gate seem to have long been accustomed to it, and still perform their duties, strictly checking the people entering the city.
In this case, it is obviously impossible to enter through the main entrance.
Under the cover of the woods, the fifth cloud went around to the corner of the city wall. There is only a small red lantern hanging here, but there is no fire, and there are very few people patrolling the city walls, so it is a good way to enter the city.
After looking around twice and making sure that no one was paying attention, he used his Yuan Force, lifted his qi and threw himself into his body, and performed the light body kung fu of Tiyun Zong, borrowed his strength twice from the city wall, and soon climbed the city wall about ten zhang high. As soon as he reached the city wall, two patrolling soldiers seemed to hear the movement in the distance and gathered in this direction.
He didn't dare to stop, ran two steps quickly, and jumped off the city wall and entered Fengdu City.
When he entered the city, he found that the patrols in Fengdu City were actually tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and he bypassed the soldiers all the way to the street, first bought a towel to wrap around his head, and then changed his clothes. After cleaning up, it was evening again, and he thought that no one would recognize him, so he swaggered out into the street and began to buy some necessities.
Fengdu City is worthy of being the county seat of Fengdu County, and its liveliness is better than that of the fifth city.
At this time, although it is already night, the main streets in the city are still bustling with people coming and going. There are few shops along the street that are closed, and gambling houses, green houses, taverns and other places are full of people, and business is booming. The whole city is lit up with candles, and some central areas are as bright as day, so it's not lively.
Fifth, listening to the clouds mixed in the flow of people, look left, look right, such a prosperous atmosphere can not be seen in the fifth city. Just as he was looking around, looking for a store that sold clothes and fabrics, he was suddenly bumped by someone, and he reacted so sharply that he immediately used his yuan power to protect his body.
Tom bang.
I heard only an ouch, and one person retreated again and again, and finally fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The fifth Tingyun realized that the person he knocked down was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the person had no malicious intent, he just walked and bumped into someone. Feeling guilty, he laughed and ran over to help the man.
The man was terrified, got up from the ground in a panic, patted off the dust, and then squeezed through the crowd and ran without looking back.
"Do you recognize me?" The fifth Tingyun was puzzled in his heart, quietly clenched the Liren Sword in his hand, and glanced around with slanted eyes. However, the people around obviously didn't notice this, and they went their own ways in twos and threes, talking and laughing.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly felt something in his heart, and touched his arms, Mom, no wonder that kid was panicked, it turned out that he didn't recognize me, but stole my money bag!
Damn it.
With a scolding voice, he quickly pushed aside the person in front of him and tracked in the direction where the pickpocket left.
But he didn't chase far before he came across a three-way intersection, and every road was the same crowded.
"Left. He shook his fist and tried to give up, but a reminder suddenly sounded in his head. Hey, in a hurry, I forgot about the perverted perception of the sword spirit!
Next, according to the instructions of the sword spirit, the fifth Tingyun followed the pickpocket, bypassed seven or eight alleys, crossed half the city, and came to the outside of a wooden attic in the west of the city. The pickpocket was very alert, and before entering the building, he looked around to check whether anyone was following, and after a careful inspection, he pushed open the door and walked in.
Waiting until the pickpocket closed the door, the fifth Tingyun waited a little longer before coming out of the hiding place and looking around. It was directly west of Fengdu City, and it was very different from the previous streets, it was extremely deserted, the streets were darkly lit, and there was not even a single pedestrian at night.
In the whole street, only the attic door hung two big red lanterns, with a faint candlelight, and there seemed to be people in the building, because the moment the pickpocket opened the door, he saw a dim kerosene lamp inside the door. In addition, the whole street is terrible quiet, and occasionally the noise of several other directions is heard, which makes it even more deadly here.
The fifth Tingyun bent over, leaning against the wall to the attic door, and by the red light of the lantern, he could see five big characters written on the door plaque, vigorous and powerful, and the pen was extraordinary. He really didn't expect to see this unusual font in the most secluded corner of Fengdu City, and he didn't expect that behind this majestic plaque, there would be a disgraceful person like pickpockets.
"Second Dish Five Spice Hall?" he whispered the words on the plaque and mocked, "The owner of this building is honest, isn't the word Second Dish a 'thief'?"
It's a pickpocket's den!
After confirming what he had in mind, he raised his right hand and gently knocked on the door three times.
