Volume 3 City of Water Chapter 334 The Praying Mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind
"Fire Essentials?"
Zhao Ningyan was stunned for a moment, and then breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "That's not true, I've already checked it just now, and the "Fire Essence" is still in place intact." ”
"Oh, that's good, it seems that the thief doesn't know the secret of our Quenching Hall baby, without this "Fire Essence", even if he gets the fire seed, it will be useless. ”
Chen Huan also breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the three little disciples next to him, and ordered, "A few of you wait here, I'll go out to do some errands, and I'll be back soon, you have to know how to abide by the rules here, and listen to the master's orders in everything, have you remembered everything?"
"Remembered. The three sisters of the Ma family nodded at the same time and said goodbye to Chen Huan with their fists.
"Alright, it's time for me to go. ”
Chen Huan didn't say anything more, pushed open the door and left the inner room.
When her figure was no longer visible, Zhou Nian, who was hiding in the shadows, slowly walked out, staring at the closed door of the inner room, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, "What is this......?" Alas, it seems that the fire seeds of this quenching hall are by no means as simple as they seem, and even the secret has been written in a book, which is troublesome. ”
The walls of the inner room are thick, and the sound insulation effect inside is excellent, and the conversation of people inside is generally difficult to hear from people outside.
But fortunately, Zhou Nian has a strong soul power in his body, and the distance is not too far, just a little mobilization, he can enhance the six senses and hear the extremely important information inside.
However, although the information was heard, Zhou Nian was in a difficult situation now, because in addition to the fire seed, there was another thing he hadn't gotten yet.
The so-called "Essence of Firepower" in Chen Huan's mouth.
Without the guidance of "Fire Essence", it is obviously impossible for Zhou Nian to unlock the secret of the fire seed in his hand.
But now, how can "Fire Essentials" be obtained?
Although there is an eighty percent chance that it is hidden in the inner room, but there is Zhao Ningyan guarding it inside, how can Zhou Nian get in?
If she was only fighting alone, Zhou Nian would naturally not be afraid of her, but if she made too much movement and attracted other disciples of the Quenching Hall, wouldn't it be a failure?
The best way is to lure the people inside, divert the tiger from the mountain, and take advantage of the weakness.
But Zhou Nian doesn't even have a helper here, so how can he lead it?
"Hiss......"
His brows furrowed together, Zhou Nian put his index finger against his chin and began to think about countermeasures, and after thinking for a while, he still didn't have the slightest clue.
Just when he was in a stalemate after thinking to no avail, he heard a slight sound of footsteps in the corridor on the other side not far away, the sound was very small, as if he was tiptoeing, and his actions were similar to a thief coming in, which immediately aroused his alarm.
"Whoosh!"
jumped up to the beam of the house, Zhou Nian had to temporarily become a "gentleman on the beam" in order to avoid startling the snake.
The gentleman here is not a thief, but a person who is really hiding on the beam of the roof.
"Shhh...... It's weird, it's obviously going in this direction, why is there no shadow in the blink of an eye?"
muttered in a low voice, who is the person who came in except Sun Tong?
He was also unlucky, when to come in is not good, but at this time to come in, just stepped up the stairs and saw Chen Huan's shadow when he went out, and before he had time to come forward to inspect, the other party had already run away and disappeared.
The two of them walked here almost one after the other, but the speed was obviously different, Chen Huan was in a hurry to do things, and he was resolute in doing things, and his steps were naturally fast, while Sun Tong was weak in his heart, and he was afraid that Chen Huan would find out when he sneaked in, so his steps were naturally slow.
Just like this, one fast, one slow, and one delay, Sun Tongke couldn't catch up with Chen Huan, there were three ways out at the end of the corridor, I don't know which direction she ran to, so she simply stood in the last place where she saw her and pondered.
And on the beam on the top of this place, it happens to be the place where Zhou Nian is hiding.
"Huh, is that him?"
muttered in his heart, Zhou Nian's brain turned fast, a god-given helper, a stepping stone, he still had to make good use of it?
"Hehe, it's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, it takes no effort to get it, big brother, I'm sorry, I can't bear the child to catch the wolf, this time I can only wronged you. ”
Zhou Nian was really bad, he immediately regarded Sun Tong below as his live target, flipped his palm quickly, and immediately took out a small bean from the bag, injected pure aura into it, and threw it away!
Although the bean may seem small, its power should not be underestimated.
"Boom!"
The sound was a bit loud, and when it hit the door of the inner room, it was immediately smashed into a ball of powder.
"Huh?"
As soon as he heard the movement, Sun Tong, who was standing in the corridor, immediately became vigilant, he was also a guard, his words and deeds would inevitably have some occupational diseases in it, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "What person!"
"I ......"
As soon as he finished shouting, he immediately regretted it, after all, he made a move and made a mistake to reveal his whereabouts, so he quickly covered his mouth with his hand, but it was too late.
"Who's making a fuss outside?"
In the inner room, Zhao Ningyan also heard the low sound of knocking on the door, and was wondering in her heart that Chen Huan's work efficiency should not be so fast, and when she was about to open the door, Sun Tong's voice came over immediately, and immediately asked her to speed up her pace and go out to find out.
"Crunch ......"
The porter pushed it open, Sun Tong's feet were panicked, since he left his post without permission, he was a thief, he couldn't meet others, he wasn't even vague, he turned his head and ran.
"Knock knock!"
However, he wanted to run, Zhao Ningyan behind him was even more anxious than him, he had lost the fire seed, Zhao Ningyan was already a person who was on fire enough in his heart, and he hated the thief very much, and he couldn't wait to peel his skin and cramp, crush his bones and scatter ashes, but at this time, there were still people who dared to break in easily, and he really thought that he was a decoration?
I can't bear it!
"Stop!
Zhao Ningyan chased after him, and only saw the back of the other party in the long and narrow dark corridor, but he didn't see his appearance, so he was naturally suspicious in his heart.
"Uncle, uncle!"
The three sisters of the Ma family behind them also followed, wanting to chase after them, but considering that Chen Huan explained their affairs before leaving, without Zhao Ningyan's instructions, they did not dare to make claims.
Yu'er on the side followed behind them, and when she saw the three children standing there and didn't know what to do, she simply reminded, "Children, aren't you going to help?"
"But...... But the master has explained, without the master's order, we can't ......" The eldest Ma Chunlan looked back at Yu'er, her little face was full of embarrassment.
When Yu'er heard this, she laughed softly, "Hehe, you should listen to Miss's orders, but she didn't say that she wouldn't let you help catch the thief, the thief who came to our quenching hall to steal is really hateful, you go after it quickly, I will help you explain when Miss Chen comes, if you can really catch the thief, Miss Chen may praise you." ”
"Sister, really?"
"Of course it's true, I've been with Miss for so many years, and Miss Chen has known me for so many years, I know her temperament and temperament, you just have to go. ”
"That'...... All right. Ma Chunlan no longer hesitated, and nodded to the two younger sisters beside her, and the three of them chased after her.
"Hehe, this is a bunch of cuties. ”
Watching the three sisters of the Ma family leave, Yu'er commented with a smile, slowly closed the door after speaking, and walked into the inner room alone.
"Whew...... Finally gone. ”
Seeing the most tricky Zhao Ningyan leaving, a little maid could not pose any threat to Zhou Nian, and after a little competition, she could get the book she wanted.
Victory is in sight, without further ado, as long as you enter the door and knock Yu'er unconscious, then "Fire Essentials" is in your bag.
Thinking like this in his heart, Zhou Nian slowly turned over, stood up straight and was about to jump off the roof beam, but at this moment, the door that had just been closed was suddenly opened.
"Huh?"
The person who opened the door could not be anyone else except Yu'er, but now Yu'er was very flustered, her eyes were dripping and rolling, and she looked sneaky.
She ...... How did she ...... Won't it......"
His face was very stunned, and a big idea suddenly popped up in Zhou Nian's heart!
"Could it be that she ....."
"Smack!"
Bringing the door, Yu'er walked in the exact opposite route to Zhao Ningyan, saying that she would wait for someone to come back here, but now she wants to slip away.
She really wanted to slip away, and before she slipped away, she stole an important thing from the inner room - "Fire Essentials".
Seeing such a scene, Zhou Nian's goal now has completely changed, and he directly abandoned the inner room and specifically followed Yu'er.
Although Yu'er smiled when she saw people in the hall and greeted people when she met them, as soon as she came out of the hall, her whole mental state was completely different.
Refreshed, walking like flying, the soles of her feet are like being greased, and she almost has two drill monkeys tied behind her ass.
"Hahaha, hahaha!"
Walking through the streets and alleys, climbing when she saw the mountain, and when she reached a secluded corner, Yu'er finally showed her true face, laughed wildly, and sighed at the sky.
"Haha, God help me! I didn't expect that I had been undercover by her side for so many years, and she didn't even notice my identity at all, what a stupid pig!"
She laughed wildly, and didn't forget to insult Zhao Ningyan when she got the baby, gently raised her hand and took out a book from her arms, spread it in her hand and said proudly, "Hmph, I've been undercover for so many years, in the end, didn't this "Fire Essence" fall into my hands? Hmph, and that Xu Fengnian, who is even more human head pig brain, a wine bag and a rice bag, if I hadn't secretly helped him from the secret, with him a little thief, what ability would he have to steal the fire seeds of the Quenching Hall? Speaking of which, I have to thank Chen Huan today, if it weren't for her mentioning the secret between the fire seeds and the "Fire Essence", then I am afraid that I will not be able to complete this task in my life. ”
