The scale of the capital is huge, there are high-ranking families with sheng songs, and there are sparsely populated muddy old streets.

Youji Street on the north side of the West Market, for the livestock market, when it rains, the sewage on the street crosses the flow and emits a foul smell, and most of the people who can walk here are the low-level peddlers and pawns, and the surrounding houses are mostly poor people.

Late at night, the rain became heavier.

In the depths of Youji Street, an oil lamp is lit, and the dim light illuminates the windows of the deserted courtyard.

The thin figure wearing a hat placed the oil lamp on the windowsill, removed the hat, and carefully observed the movement outside, the light illuminated the ordinary cheeks, and it looked like an ordinary man living here.

The man's name is Guo Yuanlong, but no one knows his real name, and he is generally called by his flower name - wingless owl.

As the wound gradually said, everyone has a story, the difference is only that some people know everything, and some people are unknown.

Guo Yuanlong's life can be regarded as wonderful if it unfolds, born in a wealthy family in Yanzhou, he has been gambling since he was a child, and after losing his family property, he began to support himself and make a living by stealing.

Although he is a stinky hand at the gambling table, Guo Yuanlong is a talented thief in the line of 'being a thief', and he became a well-known local thief at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Then Guo Yuanlong began to hit the luck, and after learning a good light skill, he wandered around the various sects in Yanzhou, stealing cheats, stealing weapons, stealing rare treasures, and never missed.

Once ventured to sneak into Yanshan Jieyun Palace, it was not his idea to really want to fight Lu Jieyun, the overlord of Yanzhou, but simply to sneak in and steal two useful martial arts cheats.

As a result, luck went against the sky, and by mistake, he touched Lu Jieyun's seclusion, Lu Jieyun was not at home, and he got a book of martial arts experience without much effort.

Lu Jieyun's light skills and body style are the best in the world, and he has been trying to break through his own limits, so he writes it down casually and ponders it slowly, and ordinary people may not understand it when he gets it.

Guo Yuanlong thinks that he has a good talent, and so far he has only eaten three or five percent of the things recorded in his experience, but even so, his light skills have already stood out from the crowd, and walking ordinary martial artists is like walking a dog, and his name has spread in the rivers and lakes, and he has become the well-known Yanzhou thief king 'wingless owl'.

In the hearts of the people of the rivers and lakes, stealing Lu Jieyun's martial arts experience is already Guo Yuanlong's most powerful record, but it is not.

Under the candlelight, Guo Yuanlong took out an object from his arms and unfolded the wrapped black cloth, which contained a piece of gold paper.

Gold paper is not made of gold, the material Guo Yuanlong still does not know, only knows that it is extremely tough, can be bent but cannot be folded, is not afraid of water, fire, knives and guns, and is difficult to break.

The gold paper is the size of a book's pages, and the picture is engraved on it, the content of which is 'the dragon turtle with the head of the dragon and the body of the turtle, carrying three high mountains', the picture is shining with golden light in the dim candlelight, like a dream, and the pattern is like a living thing.

This piece of gold paper was found by Guo Yuanlong in the secret compartment of King Yan's study, and at first it was indestructible, thinking it was an ordinary treasure; But after King Yan was stolen, there was no movement.

King Yan's reaction, coupled with the special nature of the golden paper, suddenly made Guo Yuanlong guess the true identity of this golden paper - "Minglong Tu"!

"Ming Long Tu" is the first to be obtained by a founding monarch in history, so since ancient times, there is a saying that "those who get the Ming Dragon Tu win the world", all dynasties, "Ming Long Tu" are forbidden things, except for the emperor, no one dares to hide privately.

The collection of this item by the vassal king is no different from the concept of privately collecting the 'dragon robe jade seal', and it is no wonder that King Yan will deal with it in a low-key manner after losing something.

After Guo Yuanlong got this golden paper, his life ideals changed directly, and the worldly rivers and lakes were no longer in his eyes, and he only had the three old monsters on the mountain in his heart, and the higher 'immortality, feathering and ascending to immortals'.

According to the legend circulating in the rivers and lakes, "Minglong Tu" has nine pages, each page records a supreme secret technique; The previous dynasty is said to have collected more than half, but after the destruction of the country, the heroes entered Beijing to rob it, and the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty only recovered one, and all the others were scattered in the market.

Guo Yuanlong inquired many times and learned that the one in his hand was the 'Dragon Elephant Map' in the "Singing Dragon Map", and it was rumored that he could get a psychic power comparable to that of a dragon elephant.

Although the 'Dragon Elephant Diagram' is far less famous than the 'Immortal Diagram' and 'Bathing Fire Diagram' and other divine objects, the domineering effect of 'Shaking the Immortal Buddha with the Power of Mortals' is still far beyond the world's myriad exercises.

But the effect of "Minglong Tu" is domineering, and the threshold is not low, because it is completely different from the secular martial arts cheats, Guo Yuanlong has studied for several years after he succeeded, and he has only touched a little fur, and he has not been able to enter the house so far.

"Minglong Tu" is a secret method of ascending immortals, slow progress is inevitable, Guo Yuanlong is not in a hurry, while researching, he is also looking for the whereabouts of other "Minglong Tu".

Over the years, Guo Yuanlong has touched all the study and back houses of the family, and even ventured to climb over the Sword Pavilion in Shuiyun Sword Pond, but unfortunately found nothing.

In the absence of a way, Guo Yuanlong came to the capital, wanting to turn over the historical materials from the 'Imperial History Pavilion', find clues, and by the way, see if there is a chance to touch into the imperial city, looking for the 'Jade Bone Qilin Map' that is treasured by the Great Wei royal family and the only one in the world that knows its whereabouts.

Evenings are the working hours of the 'thieves', and they generally do not sleep.

But Guo Yuanlong heard the abnormal rumor of 'wingless owl stealing Ding Ding with his skill' today, and realized that the situation was wrong.

In the afternoon, I followed all the way, but I didn't find out the details of the pair of 'male and female thieves', for safety reasons, I didn't go out to work, I temporarily changed a place to hide, and took advantage of the night rain to hide in the 'dragon elephant map' in the hands of the staff.

But Guo Yuanlong didn't think long ago, and the root of his ears moved, and he heard a soft sound in the alley not far away:

Phew-

The mechanism is touched, and the sound of a silver needle breaking through the air!

-----

Boom –

A muffled thunder resounded through the majestic city under the rain curtain.

The rain grains are like soybeans, smashing on the old tiles, making a crackling sound.

With a single knife in hand, the Night Terror Hall pressed against the wall of the alleyway, slowly touching the deserted courtyard in the depths.

Luo Ning walked in front and took off his hat to avoid bumping into it, which aroused the vigilance of the prey.

It's not as deserted as Shuanggui Lane, but it's safer.

There is a butcher who sells dog meat in the alley, and there are more than a dozen meat dogs to be slaughtered in the yard, as long as there is a slight wind and grass, it may cause the dog to bark, so even the birds are left at the mouth of the alley.

The two of them used the sound of rain to cover all the sounds, and slowly groped towards the target, and when they reached the vicinity of the abandoned courtyard, they faintly saw the lights in the extremely dark night.

Luo Ning looked intently, gently raised his slender hand, and gestured to the alley on the side of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Night Terror held his breath and turned to the side of the courtyard, outflanking him separately to prevent his target from fleeing.

But Rao is so cautious that he still underestimated the vigilance of the 'wingless owl'.

Even if they settle here temporarily, the area around the abandoned mansion has been carefully repaired and arranged, and the number of paths that the enemy may approach has been calculated.

The Night Terror Hall leaned against the wall and turned into the side alley, noticing a wooden stick leaning on the alleyway, and through the subtle movement of the rain falling, it sensed the existence of a thin line, which was obviously a trap.

After the Night Terror Hall observed carefully, he paid attention to the wooden pole, trying to get around the trap, but he didn't want to move, but he heard a voice from below:

"Boom~"

The sound of the rope breaking under force!

！

Night Terror didn't expect the other party to set up a bright and dark mechanism, his heart sank, and he jumped out without hesitation.

But the shameless owl is an old Jianghu, and if you arrange the hidden weapon according to the current environment, you will know how to dodge the comer.

The moment the thin thread was broken, several flying needles shot out from the darkness.

Sassy –

The target of the hidden weapon is not the location of the Night Terror Hall, but the possibility of moving a few steps forward and backward.

The moment Luo Ning heard the movement, he was already secretly saying that something was wrong, and the soft sword slid into his hand, leaning directly against the back of the Night Terror Hall, the sword was like the wind, cutting off the silver needles that shot from the rain.

Ding Ding –

Night Terror heard the sound of the silver needle breaking through the air, and the waist knife was already out of its sheath, and the two knives swept through the sound, obviously shooting down all the hidden weapons that flew in.

But through the shattering of the raindrops, he found that an object had come to him, silently and without any movement.

Night Terror Hall was terrified in his heart, it was too late to put away the knife, so he could only try his best to move away from the vital point.

I didn't think that before he moved, he was held down by the slender arm that had been holding down his shoulder, and he was dragged to the side, and he staggered the hidden weapon that was close at hand.

Luo Ning's experience in the rivers and lakes is more sophisticated after all, the soft sword is like a peacock opening the screen, and the dripping water in front of her body is not leaky, and after coming into contact with the silent black needle that even she has not noticed, she knows that the shameless thief who is still shallow in the rivers and lakes can't be prevented.

Although she had a lot of opinions about taking advantage of her if she had something to do in the Night Terror Hall, Luo Ning still did not hesitate at all, and opened the Night Terror Hall with all her strength, and swept away the shadowless black needles that shot from the shadows with a three-foot sword.

Sassy –

Ding——

In a hurry, there was a slight tingling in the shoulder.

Luo Ning ignored it, his fingers tapped his left shoulder to seal the air pocket, and at the same time raised his sword and jumped into the courtyard wall......
