Chapter 034: Night Detective

As the night grew darker, Mo Fei got up, covered his face with a black scarf, and went out lightly in a gray and black shirt.

When I looked up, the night outside was hazy, and the stars and moon were slightly distorted, as if they were covered by some kind of transparent thing, knowing that this was the enchantment opened at night at the Zique Palace station, although it was not a real mountain protection array, it was also very powerful, enough to resist the invasion of the Jindan monks. If it weren't for Hu Mincai's status as an outer disciple during the day, it would have been extremely difficult to get in at this time.

The whole station building is very classical, about divided into three floors, from the outside to the inside, the first and second courtyards are inhabited by mortals and ordinary outer disciples, all belong to the outer courtyard, and the two can be passed at will. At this time, the door was not locked, and there were still people moving outside, so he walked carefully and slowly, dodging a few hurried mortal servants, and it took a while to reach the high walls of the inner courtyard.

Seeing that there was no one around, Mo Fei picked up a small pebble, threw it upward, and with a click, a small halo of light dispersed, and the pebble seemed to hit a transparent wall and bounce off.

It seems that there is an enchantment shrouded in the inner courtyard, although I don't know how strong it is, but with his current cultivation, it is absolutely impossible to break into it quietly. He abandoned the place and stalked along the walls, trying to find a place where there were no barriers.

Unlike the mountain barrier that covers the entire mountain, this type of barrier is not monolithic, and requires a node to be set at regular intervals. Its single node is simple to make, and the overall consumption is much smaller, but the strength is far inferior in comparison, and it requires a lot of post-maintenance.

In Mo Fei's mind, this inner courtyard is so large, and the interior also includes gardens, lakes, and part of the mountain, the shape is very complicated, not a regular quadrilateral, and there will only be nobles to come to live once in five years, and it should be normal to have remote places that have fallen into disrepair and even the enchantment has failed.

He patiently probed all the way, and went around to the half of the courtyard close to the mountain, which looked abandoned for a long time, the weeds were waist-deep, there was no light, and the night watchmen did not come, Mo Fei relied on Zhiqun's strengthened visual ability, with the help of a trace of moonlight, he could see the scenery clearly.

After looking carefully for a while, I found a wall that seemed to have sunk a lot because of the unstable foundation, and the whole was tilted, although it had not yet fallen, but it was also precarious, and the outside was supported by several wooden stakes, but it was obviously perfunctory.

He turned over and jumped in, but this was another deserted courtyard, the door of the temple was locked, and he didn't know what it was used for in the past. From the map constructed by Zhiqun, Murphy could tell that this place was located in the southwest corner.

Mo Fei found the courtyard door and turned out, took off his face towel, took out the storage ring from his sleeve, summoned a lantern, lit it and held it in one hand, pretending to be an ordinary mortal servant.

There are also a large number of mortal servants in the inner court, they do not have the skills of monks, they cannot see at night, if they want to travel at night, they need to carry lanterns, and this is also an excellent cover, who would pay attention to a mortal servant.

According to Dong Ling, Shao Minghui should live near the lotus pond in the West King Palace, but Mo Fei didn't know where the lotus pond was, so he had to wander aimlessly, and met a little maid halfway, also with a lantern, walking in a hurry, Mo Fei opened his mouth to stop him, "This sister, do you know where the lotus pond is? ”

The little maid looked at him with a strange expression, "Which room are you in, and who are you looking for?"

"Sister Yu, I just entered the craftsman's workshop the day before yesterday, and Master Fang Cai said that a hairpin of Sister Dongling in the ninth prince's room has been repaired and asked me to send it. "It's not a complete lie, he really has a golden hairpin in his hand, and it is indeed Dongling's.

He picked up the hairpin on the mountain road before, but Dong Ling didn't want it because it was broken, so he didn't ask for it, Mo Fei stayed and repaired it himself, which was to prepare for this excuse.

The maid giggled, "I see, I thought you were so bold that you dared to ask someone for directions at night meetings." The lotus pond is the residence of the maid next to the ninth prince, and it just so happens that I am going there too, you follow me. ”

The two walked side by side, Mo Fei asked the other party's name Tao Yi, and he called himself Hu Fei, chatting all the way, walking for more than ten minutes, passing through a willow embankment, a dark and dreary lake appeared in front of him, Tao Yi pointed to a few small buildings on the opposite bank, "Over there is the Snow Xiangyuan of the Ninth Prince, the Dongling you are looking for should be over there, go over quickly, and then everyone will go to sleep, but it is inconvenient to see you." ”

Mo Fei thanked him, separated from Tao Yi, and followed the path by the pool for a while to the small buildings, the architectural style here is not much different from the outer courtyard, but more elegant, a small building is generally two floors, one per person, can live seven or eight people.

It's still early, and most of the upstairs lights are bright, and they haven't rested yet. Mo Fei didn't really come to give any hairpins, but after only two glances, his eyes fell on another building with a very different style. It is much taller than the other buildings in the vicinity, and the roof is a more advanced heavy eaves hilltop rather than the rest of the overhanging hill style.

From Tao Yi's mouth, Mo Fei guessed that this was Shao Minghui's residence, Linchun Pavilion.

But as soon as Mo Feifang got closer, suddenly the star in the spiritual power layer shook, and at the same time, the divine soul space also felt a gentle stroke.

Murphy suddenly realized that there was a monk probing himself!

Fortunately, in order to deal with the situation that may arise in the canon, before the "Ascending Heaven Steps", Mo Fei had already adjusted the state of his body, and most of his spiritual power was either used to forge his body or injected into the acupoints, and only a little remained in the two veins of Yin and Yang stilts, and after absorbing Hu Mincai, it was only a little more than forty millicrystals in total. The overall spiritual power fluctuates around the third order of the Ming Aperture, which is not surprising.

But the divine thought did not leave easily, and Mo Fei did not dare to make any unnecessary movements, and swept straight past the main hall, pretending to be purely passing by, until he reached the small building where the servants lived on the other side, and the divine thought was taken back.

Mo Fei's heart was relieved, and cold sweat immediately secreted from his back, Fang Cai's divine thought was extremely hidden, but its strength was at least at the level of the Divine Thought, it should be the Jie Dan monk beside Shao Minghui who was close to him, he didn't intend to investigate at all, it was purely because Mo Fei was close to the coverage of the Divine Thought, and he was routinely monitored.

The existence of this person is like a full-range radar, and it is simply wishful thinking to sneak into Shao Minghui's residence without telling him.

Mo Fei felt a little regretful in his heart, it seems that today's exploration can only end here.

He was about to leave, but suddenly saw two people walking from the opposite lake, the first person was dressed in a brocade robe, with a long body, separated by a few weeping willows, and his face could not be seen clearly in the faint starlight. However, Murphy's enhanced vision does not rely entirely on physical vision, but also has powerful light correction and image restoration capabilities.

Dozens of complex image processing took only a few microseconds, and Mo Fei could see the man's face clearly.

In his twenties, his face is like a crown of jade, his lips are greased, and his lines are extremely soft, and he was born with a small appearance.

Mo Fei recognized it almost instantly, this is his target this time - the ninth son of the Shaw Family, Shao Minghui.
