Chapter 42: Tongling Gorge Turns Evil into Good Fortune, Jinpeng Village Friends and Foes Are Indistinguishable (4)
Dusk, Jinpeng Villa.
The bloody remnant sun slowly fell, and the surroundings became a little dim, only the last faint ray of sunlight reflected the brilliant Jinpeng Villa. The villa covers a vast area, with countless large halls of white bricks and gold tiles, scattered like guards around the towering pagodas. Above the stupa stands a golden-winged roc made of pure gold, which stands on top of the stupa all the time, guarding the wealth and peace of Jinpeng Villa.
Murong Yunyao was lying on the courtyard wall of the main hall at this time, constantly looking into the hall. I saw people coming and going in the village, so it was not lively. It seems that the crowd is dressed up more than just the Zhuang Ding and servants in the village, as if there are countless foreign masters of the rivers and lakes, these people are all happy with joy on their faces, and they seem to be busy for Duan Siming's birthday.
"Humph!" Murong Yunyao snorted coldly with disdain, and thought to herself, "Duan Siming, a lewd thief, relied on his own cult as a backer, so he did such a deed that lost his conscience, then don't blame this girl for making a big wedding banquet today!" ”
She was thinking about how to start, and a few men in strong suits happened to walk past her, "Brothers, let's go to the pagoda again, don't let any thief take advantage of the chaos to steal the Five Treasures Golden Dragon, that is a gift that Prince Duan wants to give to Duowen Great Sacrifice Wine, there must be no mistakes!" ”
Murong Yunyao smiled slightly when she heard this, "Why don't this girl steal the Five Treasures Golden Dragon, and sell the silver when the time comes, not only can I help Uncle Jiang, but I don't even have to worry about going back to Bianliang, I can go back to Nanqing Palace to enjoy happiness!" She thought about jumping off the wall lightly, tiptoeing closely behind the others, and heading straight for the stupa.
Jinpeng Villa is very large, and a few people walked for a while before reaching the tower.
From a distance, the stupa is already spectacular, and up close will be deeply impressed by the grandeur and exquisite arrangement of the stupa. At this time, several Zhuang Ding with swords in hand were lined up in front of the gate of the pagoda. Their expressions are very serious, always paying attention to the wind and grass around them, and once they find that someone is plotting against them, they will inevitably attack them in groups.
When the red-clothed Qingnian saw these Zhuang Ding, he smiled and said: "A few hard work, we are entrusted by the owner of the village to inspect the Five Treasures Golden Dragon, and I hope that a few of them will be convenient." ”
When Zhong Zhuang Ding saw the red-clothed young man, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Master Gao, how dare you work hard for this little thing!" You better go to the main hall to rest, here is foolproof! ”
The red-clothed Qingnian shook his head and said: "Duan Wang Ye and Ben Hou are good friends, and it is natural to do something for him, not to mention that this dragon will come in handy in the future, but you must not be sloppy!" He said that he ignored the persuasion of the Zhuang Ding, and strode straight into the tower, and several people behind him also followed him.
Murong Yunyao hid in the shadows in the corner of the wall, constantly looking towards the pagoda. She was not too far away from the pagoda, and she heard the words of several people clearly, and said secretly in her heart, "I thought that the owner of Jinpeng Villa was just a reckless man, but it seems that he is actually a prince." It is understandable if such a thing as seeking money and killing people is done by people in the rivers and lakes, but as the prince of Dali, he is full of people for a golden dragon, which is really an unforgivable crime! This girl must turn his birthday into his sacrifice today! ”
After a short time, the red-clothed young man took people out of the pagoda and said to the crowd: "Ben Hou has checked it, and the golden dragon in the tower is very well kept, and you have worked hard." ”
Zhong Zhuang Ding smiled: "This is our duty, how dare we be hard." The red-clothed light man nodded with satisfaction, and led the people straight towards the direction of the main hall.
Seeing them leaving, Murong Yunyao gently bent down and picked up a small pebble on the ground, and threw it towards the corner diagonally opposite. The stone landed with a soft "snap" sound, and the Zhuang Ding became more and more alert when they heard the sound, leaving only one person to continue to guard the tower gate, and the others ran towards the sound quickly.
"Hee-hee!" Murong Yunyao snickered in her heart, and reached the pagoda with a light tiptoe, and then she cautiously approached the pagoda gate, trying not to make a sound under her feet. Soon, she arrived at the side of the gatekeeper Zhuang Ding, who saw someone sneaking close to the tower gate, and was about to shout out to his companion, but Murong Yunyao had already raised his palm, knocked him unconscious with a knife, and then pulled the corner of his clothes and dragged him into the tower.
The tower is divided into five layers, and the walls of each layer are painted with the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, which are painted vividly and quite solemnly. Murong Yunyao took advantage of the light of the light from the lamp on the wall, and slowly entered the tower very cautiously, searching for the legendary priceless Five Treasure Golden Dragon.
She groped all the way, and it took a long time to reach the fifth floor of the pagoda, and as soon as she entered, she was so shaken by a burst of precious light that she couldn't open her eyes. She slowed down for a moment before she opened her eyes and looked at where the treasure light had come from. I saw a wooden table made of yellow sandalwood in the middle of the five-story pagoda, and a lifelike golden dragon was placed on the wooden table. The dragon is made of gold, with yellow diamonds on its scales, silver claws and horns, and two black diamonds set in its eyes. In his mouth, he holds a huge, mellow night pearl of the East China Sea, which shines brighter and brighter under the reflection of the lights.
Murong Yunyao grew up in a wealthy family since he was a child, and lived in the Nanqing Palace for a long time, and he was used to seeing all kinds of treasures in the world, but none of them could be out of this dragon's right, and he exhaled with excitement in his heart. She reacted and hurriedly closed her mouth, for fear of attracting Zhuang Ding, who was guarding the tower, and tiptoed towards the golden dragon, every step became like walking on thin ice.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and there were at least five or six people listening to the sounds. Murong Yunyao said secretly, "It's not good, it must have been discovered by Zhuang Ding!" Unless you can restrain several people at the same time, you can attract those masters in the village, don't say that you assassinate Duan Siming, even if you want to steal the golden dragon, it will be difficult to climb to the sky! ”
Murong Yunyao subconsciously looked at the top of his head, and saw that the ground was three or four feet away from the beams of the room, and it was difficult for him to jump up with his light skills. She was at a loss when she heard footsteps at the stairs getting louder and louder, and these people were getting closer and closer to her.
At this time, a young man's voice came from the top of the stairs, "Quick, you seal the exit below, don't let this bold thief slip away!" This voice is hearty and majestic, and most of it is the red-clothed Hou Ye Gao Jingsi.
Murong Yunyao was completely panicked at this time, not knowing whether he should fight or flee, and suddenly a black shadow flew in from the window of the pagoda, and hugged Murong Yunyao, who was stunned in place, onto the beam. Murong Yunyao was taken aback when she saw this, and subconsciously wanted to scream, but her mouth was tightly covered by the black shadow.
The black shadow attached to Murong Yunyao's ear, and warned softly: "Girl, if you don't want to die, just shut up!" Murong Yunyao heard that the voice was a little familiar, and she hurriedly looked at his face, countless possibilities surged in her heart in an instant, but she never thought that it was the white-haired man who met twice who saved herself!
"Uncle, it's you ......" Murong Yunyao couldn't hold back her excitement, and finally said it in a hesitant voice. At this time, a handsome young man in a golden robe, accompanied by Gao Jingsi, slowly appeared from the staircase, and looked at the high beams at a glance.
"Friends above, you don't have to hide it anymore, you have the courage to come down and talk to this king!" The handsome young man looked at Fang Liang and said leisurely, there was no trace of anxiety in his expression, as if he was confident about catching the person on the beam. Then he raised his hand elegantly, and the index finger of his right hand lightly touched the beam, and a sword qi had shot out in the air.
"Click!" With a loud bang, the thick beam was broken, and the white-haired man had to turn over and jump off the beam with Murong Yunyao in his arms. The handsome young man smiled proudly, but the moment he saw the white-haired man's face, his smile suddenly froze, and his expression became very strange.
After a while, the handsome young man said in disbelief: "Master...... Master! What are you doing when you don't sell books in a bookstore, you don't rest in your room, and you run to the stupa late at night? The girl you're holding is ...... Is it my wife? ”
The white-haired man shook his head slightly, and his voice became a little cold inexplicably, "Siming, this person's father used to be the old enemy of the teacher, you don't have a problem if I take her away!" ”
The handsome young man nodded hurriedly, "Master, you can take this person away." ”
"Thank you!" The white-haired man smiled slightly, and walked to the window with Murong Yunyao. Murong Yunyao couldn't take care of it anymore, and shouted in his mouth: "Uncle, who are you!" Let me go, help! I'm still young, I don't want to die yet! ”
The white-haired man ignored Murong Yunyao's struggle and screaming, and only walked silently to the window, then grabbed her waist with his hand and jumped out of the window suddenly. It was the first time for Murong Yunyao to jump down from such a height, and she shouted more and more violently in mid-air, she thought that the white-haired man was going to die with her, but unexpectedly, he actually jumped in mid-air and took her away from Jinpeng Villa.
