Chapter 54: The Thief
Speaking of visiting Longdu, Fang Zheng and Xiao Yaoer asked countless passers-by and merchants, and they all said: The first time you come to Longdu, you must go to see the Nine Spirits Palace!
The Nine Spirits Hall is located at the boundary between the outer city and the inner city, and it is said to be a hall, but it is actually a huge square. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Fang Zheng and Xiao Yao'er came here, and the crowd surrounded the entire square, and between shoulders, Fang Zheng escorted Xiao Yao'er to the square.
The square is not big, and there is a rockery fountain in the center, which can be seen to be magical. There are nine statues around, which are the nine emperors who are said to defeat the sea tribe, drive away the wolf tribe, the zerg tribe, defeat the barbarians, and establish this peaceful place for mankind!
The Nine Emperors are also the earliest nine spiritual realm people recorded in the historical records. They named this continent the Nine Spirits Realm. It is they who let humanity survive on the continent. Therefore, people's worship of the Nine Emperors is from the bottom of their hearts.
Among the Nine Emperors, headed by the Dragon Emperor, the family of today's emperors, the Long family, that is, after the Dragon Emperor. Directly north of the square, on the side near the Imperial City, the statue is the Dragon Emperor.
"This carving technique is ingenious, and the charm of each one is vividly reflected, and the various colored gemstones make each of its clothes and hair appear as if they were real. After looking at the nine statues, Fang Zheng greatly appreciated the person who made the statues.
Xiao Yao'er nodded and agreed, but when she saw a statue, she stopped, looked at it carefully, and said something in her mouth: "It's really like......"
"Like what?"
"Do you remember the ice sculpture in the Ice Wind Ridge, inside the iceberg?" Xiao Yao'er leaned over to Fang Zheng's side and said softly.
"Of course I do!"
"This statue has exactly the same face and proportions as the ice sculpture!"
Fang Zheng couldn't see at the time, and he didn't know what the ice sculpture looked like, but Xiao Yao'er didn't look away, turned around, and saw that the base of the statue was written: Ice Emperor.
Fang Zheng remembered that Xiao Yao'er had said that there was a purple rune-like strange power in the ice sculpture, so he sacrificed his star eyes, wanting to take a closer look at whether there was also something in this statue.
Observing from many sides, there is nothing, but there is an unexpected gain.
In the crowd of onlookers watching the Ice Emperor, a burly man more than two meters tall looked up at the statue of the Ice Emperor, with a shocked expression, and smirked from time to time, like a stupid big man. Behind him was a short man, with a thief's eyebrows, squeezing past the big stupid man, his hand quickly reaching into his backpack, pulling out his money bag and putting it in his own pocket. The whole process takes less than a second.
If it weren't for the starry eyes, Fang Zheng would never have found it, he pulled Xiao Yao'er up, walked over in a few steps, and grabbed the short man's hand at once.
"What are you doing, Lao Tzu is not as good as Longyang, in front of the public, don't touch me!" The short man suddenly exclaimed, attracting the attention of the people around him.
Fang Zhengze patted the stupid big man on the shoulder: "Hey, brother, see if you have anything missing in your backpack!"
When the short man saw this, he immediately understood that he had been discovered,
Suddenly!
Fang Zheng felt that his palm slipped, and the short man's hand turned into a ball of cotton in an instant, and he pulled it out.
"Huh?!" Before Fang Zheng could react, he saw that the short man was walking like a shadow at his feet, and he was even walking on the ground in the crowd.
"Good guy, you have some ability!" Fang Zheng exclaimed in surprise, and said to Xiao Yao'er: "Wait for me on the spot!" Then, chopping the ground with one foot, stepping on the wind and taking off the air, stepping on the wind to change force over the crowd, and then Feng Xing stepped forward and chased after him directly.
The short man ran a few streets, stopped and smiled, turned his head to look, only to find that Fang Zheng was already close in front of him, and he was frightened.
Fang Zheng grabbed his shoulder at once: "You can't run!"
Unexpectedly, the short man was not afraid, but sneered: "I just let you catch it when I stop the enemy, and then, if you can catch me, Lao Tzu will have your surname." ”
After speaking, Fang Zheng felt the short man's shoulders suddenly shrink, and he grabbed it hard, but he grabbed a void. The short man moved his feet, and in an instant, he was three meters away......
Fang Zheng jumped into the wind, and the short man smiled proudly, and his figure turned around and slipped into a small alley!
"I can't catch up with you today, where will I go to the name of the little prince of chasing the wind?!" Fang Zheng lost his temper suddenly, but he didn't expect to meet an opponent on top of the light martial arts.
If you rely on speed alone, the short man's footwork is not as popular, but this short man is very familiar with the terrain, and he also picks the places where there are many people in the lanes, and his strange bone shrinking method is like a fish in water. Fang Zheng is not good, and he can only cross by stepping on the wind every time he encounters it, so the speed is slower.
"Why can't you get rid of it!" The short man ran through more than a dozen streets in a row, but Fang Zheng couldn't help but be surprised, and shouted in his heart: "Could it be that I steal Bai Jie and want to carry this nameless boy into his hands?!"
Bai Jie shook his head: "Impossible!" After that, he stepped on the wall, climbed over the roof in a few steps, and walked on the wall with the cornices, as if entering a no-man's land. Fang Zhengze turned over to the upper room, and the footwork under his feet was quiet, not a single step!
One couldn't catch up, the other couldn't get rid of, and the two played "parkour" in the eaves and lanes.
Three hours!
Bai Jie suddenly stopped, panting: "Big brother, it's just a wallet, can you use it like this?!"
Fang Zheng also stopped, panting: "What's your name?!"
"Bai Jie!" Bai Jie gasped, but he didn't forget to raise his head and say arrogantly. Fang Zhengze smiled: "You will be called Fang Jie in the future." ”
"...... you" Bai Jie choked for a while, and then sneered: "You haven't caught me yet?!" he said, forced a breath, and walked away with a unique footwork. Fangzheng's feet moved, stepping on the wind, and chasing after the dust.
Another three hours!
Bai Jie couldn't run at all, leaning against the wall and becoming a dog: "Okay, I'll admit defeat, I'll give the money bag back to that stupid big man, don't chase ......"
Fang Zhengze walked towards Bai Jie step by step.
The advantage of cultivation was reflected at this time, that Bai Jie was also an eighth-order martial artist, but although Fang Zheng was an eighth-order martial artist, his star power bonus was actually the same as that of a ninth-order martial artist.
"You won't arrest me as an official, right?" Bai Jie was stunned: "Do you think the prison can hold me?!"
Fang Zheng remained silent, grabbed Bai Jie and walked towards the Nine Spirits Palace.
"Don't......" Bai Jie panicked: "Seeing the official, where do you let me put my thief's face!"
At this time, the sky was getting dark, the crowd had faded, and on a street outside the Nine Spirits Palace, people were also bustling, and the stupid big man stood there with a confused face, while Xiao Yao'er was waiting anxiously beside him.
Seeing that Fang Zheng was carrying someone back, Xiao Yao'er also stepped forward happily: "Caught?!"
"Hmm!" Fang Zheng threw Bai Jie on the ground and said to the stupid big man, "It's that he stole your money bag, you can see what's missing." ”
The reason why Fang Zheng brought it back was not to see the official, but to confirm the stolen goods in person and return the original amount.
Bai Jie handed the money bag to the stupid big man, and the stupid big man quickly opened it and counted it, and suddenly smiled: "Great, five hundred taels of silver, one tael is a lot, this is the tuition fee for me to sign up for Tiangong College tomorrow." ”
Saying that, stupid big man, the other party just hugged his fists and said: "Thank you big brother for helping me chase me back, what will be the use of my Niu Gang in the future, just say it!"
