Chapter 263: Hide
Gu Yu, who was blocked by the black fog, did not rush forward immediately, because under the city wall, there was a moat two zhang wide, such a wide distance, Gu Yu could jump over it by relying on his bouncing shoes, but he would definitely make a little noise. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And the water in the moat can't be touched, there will definitely be some piranhas in it, as well as some warning formations, so don't think about wading through the water.
However, Gu Yu was ready, and he saw him running towards the moat with a light and fast body, and when he reached the edge of the moat, he immediately took out a bamboo pole more than two feet long from the storage belt, and dyed it black. Then he quickly set up the bamboo pole on both sides of the moat, and clicked the bamboo pole twice with both feet, and the person was on the other side of the moat.
The moment he reached the other side of the moat, Gu Yu retracted the bamboo pole into the storage belt as soon as he put his hands away.
This series of actions, done smoothly, seems to be very simple, but in fact it is something that others can't do, because other people's storage bags can't hold bamboo poles more than two zhang long, and ordinary storage bags with large spaces are just one zhang square.
Gu Yu then opened up his unique field of vision, confirming that there was no mechanism formation on the city wall in front of him, and that there was no one and an ambush in the city wall. Then he jumped quickly, and his bouncing shoes immediately helped him jump two feet high, and with a grasp of the wall with his hand, he easily climbed over the wall.
Inside the city wall was a civilian area, which was similar to the Gu family manor, there were many houses nearby, so after landing on the ground, Gu Yu quickly ran and hid in the shadow behind a house.
After waiting for a moment, Gu Yu confirmed that his actions had not been discovered, and secretly sighed.
He took out the bottle containing the black mist and put away the black mist wrapped around his body, and now that he entered the manor, he didn't need the black mist for the time being. Then he took advantage of all kinds of dark corners to cover up, and quickly ran towards the Xiao family's main house.
There are a lot of patrol teams walking around in the Xiao family manor, but Gu Yu can see them in advance and bypass them.
Soon, Gu Yu followed the map and came to the outer wall of the main house, and then crossed the city wall under the cover of black fog and entered the main house.
Inside the main mansion, the Xiao family guarded them in the form of secret whistles and vicious dogs, but Gu Yu could spot them in advance with his unique vision, and broke through through the blind spot of his sight by detouring, and finally came to the outside of the Xiao family's ancestral hall depicted on the map.
The Xiao family ancestral hall is a palace-like house, the area is very large, it is a place to worship the ancestral tablets of the Xiao family, according to the description of the housekeeper, the Xiao family gathers to worship the ancestors first, and then discuss important matters in the ancestral hall.
But now it was difficult for Gu Yu to break in, because there were many guards guarding the outside of the ancestral hall, there were four people at the front and back doors, and then there were two people in the two large windows on the side. None of the guards patrolled around, all of them stood motionless at the doors and windows, their eyes turning to see what was ahead.
Fortunately, there was a flaw, that is, the door in front of the ancestral hall was not closed, and it was directly opened widely, otherwise Gu Yu really couldn't sneak in without alarming people.
At this point, it's time for the invisibility charm to be dispatched.
Gu Yu took out the invisibility talisman, and was a little reluctant for a while. This is a very rare spirit rune given by his father, and it is very precious, and once it is cast, it will have a stealth effect for dozens of breaths.
But soon he suppressed his heartache, silently activated the invisibility talisman, and suddenly the spirit talisman turned into a white smoke, covering Gu Yu's whole person, and then very magically, Gu Yu's figure disappeared, even Gu Yu's vision of the soul devouring insect could not be seen, only a faint gray shadow.
This is what Gu Yu only saw when he was concentrating, and it is estimated that others will not be able to see it if they don't look at it.
Time waits for no one, once invisible, Gu Yu immediately walked forward with the lightest pace.
It's a bet on whether the invisibility charm is really that magical.
As a result, Gu Yu won the gamble, only to see him lightly from the side of the guard, almost a distance of one or two feet, past the guard, and dodged into the ancestral hall, and the four guards at the door did not notice it at all.
The area inside the ancestral hall is very large, and there are forty or fifty chairs arranged on each side of the front half, and there are two Taishi chairs above, which is the place where the Xiao family gathers and deliberates.
In the second half of the ancestral hall is the place to worship the ancestors, the innermost place against the wall is a large shelf several zhang high, each side is blocked by a layer of curtains, and on the shelf is a layer of steps, each step is more or less displayed a tablet. These are the tablets of the ancestors of the Xiao family, ranked from top to bottom according to the seniority, and there are more than a dozen generations.
Among them, the top tablets are the least, only a few, and the bottom tablets are the most, there are more than 20, which shows that not everyone is eligible to be ranked here after they die.
Gu Yu took a look with a unique vision, and easily found the most suitable hiding place, which was behind the curtain at the top of the tablet shelf. After a few light climbs, he climbed to the top of the stairs and hid behind the black curtain.
After a while, the effect of the invisibility charm disappeared, but it didn't matter, Gu Yu's operation to infiltrate the Xiao family's manor was successfully completed, and then he just stayed here and waited for the Xiao family's party.
He looked at the shelves and saw that they had been cleaned spotlessly, so he didn't have to worry about someone coming up tomorrow during the daylight hours to clean them. Besides, there is no need to worry that someone will check the corner where Gu Yu is hiding, this is a dead end. And if the Xiao family wants to discover Gu Yu, they must climb the shelf, for them, this is an act of disrespect to their ancestors, and they will definitely not do it.
Therefore, Gu Yu was very relieved that he would not be discovered, what he had to do was to wait patiently and how to catch all the high-level officials of the Xiao family.
In the blink of an eye, when the day came, Gu Yu's unique vision saw that some servants came in to clean the floor, and some guards came in to take a look, but when they were closest to Gu Yu, that is, standing in front of the tablet shelf, looking up, and then turning around and leaving, it was impossible to find Gu Yu hiding on top.
As the noon time gradually came, Gu Yu was not in a hurry at all, he took out the Bigu Pill given by his father to supplement his physical needs, and then took out the secret medicine that concealed the breath of his body and sprayed some on his body, so that some people with a keen sense of smell would not find traces.
Then, all that's left is to wait in silence.
In the ancestral hall, as the noon hour approached, it was empty, and at the door, there were more guards, and there were more than ten people at the gate, and there were also a few more people at the windows and back doors on both sides.
The guards guarded the door, just to prevent unrelated people from waiting to enter, but unfortunately they didn't expect that the well-guarded ancestral hall had already infiltrated a biggest enemy.
