Chapter 177: It's like a dream

Thanks to the blessing of his ears, Shen Yun could clearly distinguish the footsteps of the two people from a large number of various sounds. Following the sound of footsteps, he quietly followed.

Soon, he saw two dark shadows in the corridor, a dozen paces away from him. Whoosh——, they slipped into an inconspicuous small black oil door next to them.

Such a small door, in the bottom three floors, there are several on each floor. They are always hidden. Shen Yun had also paid attention to them before, and had tried to quietly open them several times. As a result, I found that the door was full of small rooms full of brooms, buckets, tables and chairs, and other miscellaneous items. It turned out that they were the doors of the utility room. So, he didn't bother with them anymore.

What are the two of them doing in the utility room?

Shen Yun was suspicious in his heart, and leaned over lightly.

The two of them did not move inside.

Seeing that there was no one around, he stood outside the door and listened attentively.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Master Heavenly Emperor! Is there a mistake! I actually heard the sound of two people going up the stairs!

Shen Yun was stunned.

However, the footsteps of the two men did speed up the stairs.

After a few breaths, the footsteps of "Knock Knock" disappeared.

Do you want to follow up?

Shen Yun's heart was horizontal, and he decisively pushed the door open half a foot wide, and dodged in.

Weird!

There were no brooms, tables and chairs. A five-foot square hut with a half-empty ceiling. Next to the wall on the right, there was a simple wooden ladder more than a foot wide that led to the empty half of the ceiling.

The two of them went up the wooden staircase!

Shen Yun looked up at the top of the stairs in disbelief.

It's empty, and you can't see anything.

I'll go up and have a look, too!

The vigilance of the whole body was raised to the highest level, and he cautiously walked up one step at a time.

There are a total of twelve wooden steps. By the time he reached the sixth, his head was almost flat to the gap in the ceiling. At this moment, the situation above the gap was unobstructed—another identical room. The difference is that the simple wooden ladder is against the wall on the left.

Shen Yun was stunned: So you can go to the heavenly tower?

Strange, why didn't I notice it before? Could it be that the brooms, tables and chairs and other miscellaneous objects I saw were all obscure?

Thinking of this, it is not the first time that someone who has encountered this kind of experience can only shrug helplessly. Phantom array, phantom array again! We and the mortal eye have nothing to do with it, only to be fooled.

By this time, the two men had walked so far away that they could no longer even hear the sound of footsteps.

Shen Yun performed light skills, jumped out of the gap, and landed directly next to the wooden ladder in the room above. After making sure that there was no one on it, he lunged to the middle of the wooden ladder with another lunge.

As expected, there was an empty room with the same wooden ladder on it......

In this way, Shen Yun easily reached the seventh layer without much effort.

On the seventh floor, the Sky Tower, the huts here are still empty. However, its ceiling is intact and there is no longer a wooden ladder.

Shen Yun looked at the small black oil door on the wall, as if he was in a dream: Ah, I went up from the copper tower to the sky tower again! I just climbed seven wooden ladders!

Originally, he thought it was going to be a big deal.

He reached out and pinched the outside of his thigh.

"Whew-", it hurts!

Not a dream.

Then what are you hesitating about? Shen Yun tiptoed a little, and gently landed on the side of the door, first pressing one ear against the door panel to listen to the movement outside.

In the distance, there were footsteps coming and going, and there were four people listening. Their steps are soft and frivolous, a little broken, one is deliberately lightening their steps, and the other is because they have no kung fu to accompany them.

Before the time passed, it was the time when business was at its most prosperous on the bottom three floors, but how could the sky tower be so quiet, with only the footsteps of so many people? Shen Yun couldn't help frowning.

The black oil door is hidden.

Shen Yun held his breath and slowly opened the door, revealing a thin slit half a finger width.

Suddenly, the sound of the guqin and the sound of footsteps became clearer.

He looked through the slit in the direction where the footsteps were coming from.

There was a row of officials standing in the corridor over there. They were fully armed, standing in two steps and one post, facing the Hundred Flowers Hall, sealing the entire corridor on that side.

The four footsteps he heard were those of four young men. From time to time, they came out of the corner, carried wine and food, and delivered them to the gate. A pair of slender hands will stretch out from the door, and a large tray of wine and food with vermilion lacquer will be brought in.

Great, there's the Hundred Flowers Hall over there! And the banquet hasn't ended yet!

Shen Yun pondered quickly: How can I sneak into the Hundred Flowers Hall?

Before, because he didn't know the situation in the room, he hesitated slightly, and as a result, he lost the two people. Now, he's left to figure it out on his own.

The small room was near a corner, so through the open slit, he could see a small section of the corridor outside, and most of the corridor of the building on the front side, in addition to the corridor outside the Hundred Flowers Hall.

Neither corridor has been sealed. He looked at the time of the hundred breaths, and there were one or two men hurrying through the two corridors.

Shen Yun deliberately carefully inspected their clothes. I found that they were no different from the dude outfit on my own.

No matter. This is not a place to stay for long. Let's go out first!

Seeing that no one was facing this side, he decisively opened the door and dodged out of the room, and then, with a light tiptoe, the person was already in the corridor, five steps away from the small black oil door.

The row of officials on the opposite side was still motionless with the back of their heads facing this side, pestled in the corridor. Completely unaware.

Shen Yun breathed a sigh of relief and calmly walked along the corridor. In addition to observing the surrounding situation with the peripheral vision of his eyes, his ears were not idle, listening to the movement vigorously.

However, the strange thing is that it is clear that the side he walked on was a theater garden. However, he couldn't even hear the sound of gongs and drums. Not to mention the sounds in the Hundred Flowers Hall farther away, as well as the movement in the other buildings on both sides.

Glancing at the carved door of the Hundred Flowers Hall again, he couldn't help but secretly say: It's really strange!

"Hey, who's doing it outside?" At this moment, a fat butler sweating profusely walked out of the ebony carved round arch in front of him.

Shen Yun couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp. Fainted, the horizontal plaque on the round arch is written with the three words "Liyuan Spring" in gilding!

I want to mix into the Baihua Hall to watch the excitement, but I am not called into the theater to help run the hall!

What's more, if you get closer, will you be recognized......

"There are few people today, don't you see everyone busy inside without touching the ground?" shouted the fat steward, "Are you too embarrassed to be lazy outside?"

His voice alarmed the officials in the corridor opposite. They're bored. Hearing that there was movement here, they all turned around one by one and winked at this side.

Let's fool around first. "Just come......" Shen Yun lowered his head and walked towards the fat steward.
