As soon as the night passed, Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi quietly went out and went in the direction of the secret vault that they had discovered during the day.

There was no moonlight at night, and they could only walk by the faint light of the lanterns under the eaves of the palace in the distance, and the swarthy secret vault was surrounded by shrubs and rockeries in the center.

The rockery is half a mile in circumference, the strange rocks are craggy, there are many holes, the mountain is like a labyrinth, the two walk in one after the other, slowly climb up the mountainside, lie behind a big stone in the rockery, pass the hole of the rockery, just can see the whole picture of the secret vault, only to see that there are two ironclad guards patrolling back and forth in front of the secret vault, a team has six, a total of twelve. The two teams walked and patrolled in two directions, straight and backward. The door to the vault was closed, and there was no lock on it, and I don't know how it was opened to enter.

The two discussed in a low voice, decided to wait for a while longer, to see if there would be someone in and out, waited for about half an hour, still did not see anyone in and out of the vault, but saw the two patrol teams travel the law, it turned out that the two teams around the vault for a week need to spend about a time from one to fifty, the two teams in the face of the rockery after meeting once, the next encounter is in the back of the house, to the two teams appear again in the rockery opposite, and need to count from one to fifty, if you can quickly open the door to enter the vault during this time, then it is half the success。

Hu Zhenbang estimated it and said to Mu Hanyi: "From us to the gate of the secret vault, it is about from one to twenty-five, and there is only twenty-five time left to open the gate." If you are not very sure, you really can't act rashly, and if it is discovered, more guards will be sent to tighten the martial law in the future, and it will be even more difficult to take the book again. ”

Mu Hanyi said: "What the eldest brother said is that if the two of us are strong, it will not be difficult to defeat these twelve guards, but I am afraid that there is a guard camp not far from here, and there is no way to know whether there are guards in this secret vault, if one person opens his mouth and shouts, alarming the other guards in the palace, it is equivalent to giving them a report to step up their precautions, so it is better to be careful." ”

The two of them couldn't think of any way for a while, and when they went straight to the son, they finally saw the two teams of guards meet at the gate and stopped, and the guards who took the lead in the appearance of the two captains said a few words, and both teams sat down outside the door to rest.

Mu Hanyi said: "I don't know how long they will have to rest like this." ”

Hu Zhenbang was about to speak, but suddenly stopped, made a silent gesture to Mu Hanyi, pointed to the soles of his feet, and signaled that someone was coming.

Mu Hanyi listened attentively, sure enough, the person was very good, the person had been found within ten steps, if it weren't for Hu Zhenbang's internal strength, I am afraid that this person would not be heard by himself until within five steps, the two carefully held their breath, hid behind the stone and looked down, only to see a black shadow, thin and long, standing less than a foot below the two, and also looking in the direction of the secret vault.

At this glance, the two of them were so shocked that they almost screamed, they didn't have to see their faces, just looking at this person's figure, they knew that it was Song Zanpu, the first national teacher of Tubo.

Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi knew that he had good internal strength, so they didn't dare to speak, but only signaled with their eyes and watched the changes. Both of them hoped that he would not act rashly, lest it spoil the big thing. But the more worried he was, the more it would happen, and he saw Song Zanpu grab a black cloth from his arms and cover his face.

Hu and Mu said in their hearts: "Isn't this move to cover your ears and steal the bell, you are masked, people look at this figure, and they know that it is you, and who else is there besides you who is coming for this "Wujing General Essentials"?"

At this moment, the guards guarding the secret vault are all gathering at the gate, it is in the direction of the rockery, if Song Zanpu suddenly rushes down at this moment, even if he is very good and fast, I am afraid that if he does not wait to rush closer, these guards would have already found out and shouted.

was thinking about Song Zanpu, but saw that Song Zanpu was short, and he was half his height shorter out of thin air. Hu Zhenbang was taken aback, and said secretly: "This Songzanpu can shrink the bones, it is said that the bones need to be practiced from childhood, from the age of five to the hands and feet and the spine together with the arch back, tied into a round ball with ropes, hung in the air, several hours a day, insist on three years to start, and need to twist the joints of the body bones into dislocations, and then connect them, repeatedly, two years later, to be able to control freely, although it can be practiced before and after five years, but this work is extremely painful to practice, and very few people in the martial arts are willing to practice. I didn't expect this Tubo person to know this kung fu, it was really unexpected. ”

Mu Hanyi also thought that his father had told him that when he visited various martial arts sects in the Great Song Kingdom, he had a relationship with the Wusong Dao chief of the Wudang faction, saying that the Wusong Dao Chang liked to ride a donkey to travel everywhere, One day his body curled up on the donkey, like a five, Six-year-old child, walking in the Grand Canyon of western Sichuan encountered a group of bandits, the first robbers deceived him into a small size, so he wanted to rob, but after he turned over and went to the ground, the whole skeleton stretched out, instantly became tall, two heads taller than the other party, frightened the bandit turned his head and fled. After she heard it, she only thought that her father was exaggerating, and she never thought that she would really see this kung fu performed by Song Tsangpu today, which is really incredible.

The two were speculating, only to see Song Zanpu step by step quietly towards the secret gate of the door, because he became extremely short, light skills are extremely good, and when the time is almost ugly, the guards are sleepy, where would they expect someone to approach in front of them, when a few vigilant guards found out, only to see the person in front of him instantly soared, like a ghost, frightened soul, too late to draw the knife, was hit by this black shadow as fast as lightning palm, killed on the spot, the rest of the guards were napping, suddenly awakened by the sound, before they came back to their senses, and were used by Song ZanpuThe "Whirlwind Serial Palm" was killed one by one.

Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi saw that Song Zanpu was falling this time, and instantly killed the twelve guards, and they were not amazed when they started cleanly, and they saw that Song Zanpu was looking around and running towards the gate of the secret vault. The two of them hurriedly stared at it closely, only to see Song Zanpu stretch out his palms to push the gate, but the door did not move at all, showing that the door of the secret vault was extremely heavy.

After pushing for a long time, Song Zanpu ran back to the guard's corpse and searched for the key on them, and when he touched it, the first guard found a key on his body, and hurriedly ran to the door to try it. Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi couldn't really see it from afar, only vaguely saw him groping on the door for a while and then groping for a while, back and forth several times, and finally stopped suddenly, and after a while, he returned to the corpse to search his body, and soon found another key from the body of the second guard, this time he was not in a hurry to try, but continued to search the body of the third guard, and so on, one by one the guards went to search.

Hu Zhenbang had a flash of inspiration and realized: "Yes, it turns out that there are twelve keys to the door of this secret vault, which are carried by the twelve guards on duty that day. ”

Mu Hanyi nodded and said: "Big brother and I have thought together, and I also think so, this door must be matched with the twelve keys of the twelve guards on duty together with different keyholes to open this gate." ”

Hu Zhenbang said: "Now he is about to find these twelve keys, and then one key after another to try the keyhole, the slowest half an hour can be opened, if he can open the door, go in and find the "Wujing General Essentials", it will save us effort." ”

Mu Hanyi said with a smile: "Yes, big brother, it is not in vain that we can reap the benefits of the fisherman, and it is not in vain that we have waited for the hard work of the middle of the night." ”

As he spoke, he saw from afar that Na Song Tsampu seemed to have searched all the keys to the dead body, and ran back and forth to the door of the house, trying the key.

Hu Zhenbang silently counted to see which place he stayed for the longest time, and knew how many keys he had tried. Na Song Tsampu moved extremely fast, and in no time of a bowl of tea, he had already tried out five keys. Mu Hanyi said: "It seems that in less than half an hour, he will be able to open this door." ”

Hu Zhenbang laughed in a low voice: "The sooner he opens the door, the sooner we will have the opportunity to enjoy the profits." ”

Mu Hanyi said: "That's right, now my heart is so strange, I hope he opens the door of this secret vault soon, and I hope he opens it slowly." Even I don't know why. ”

Hu Zhenbang said with a smile: "Or it is the same as the cowardice of the hometown." ”

Mu Hanyi said strangely: "What is the reason for the cowardice of the hometown? Is it the statement of your Han people, or the statement of the Khitan people?"

Hu Zhenbang said: "Hometown cowardice refers to a person who has been away from his hometown for a long time, let him return to his hometown, the closer he is to his hometown, the more scared he is in his heart, just like the mood you just said." In fact, the man obviously wanted to get home faster, but when he really arrived at the door, he slowed down, and I don't know why he hoped to get home slower. ”

Mu Hanyi tilted his head and thought about it, and said with a smile: "You Han people say this kind of thing, but it really looks like this. ”

As he spoke, Na Song Zanpu opened three more locks, and seeing that there were still four locks left, he could open the secret vault, and the two of them stopped the topic unconsciously, and both concentrated their minds, staring at Song Zanpu's movements.

Just as he was concentrating, he suddenly saw Song Zanpu stop his movements and retract his body back to the size of a five-year-old child, no more than five feet tall. Mu Hanyi was not surprised, and was about to ask a question, when Hu Zhenbang whispered in her ear: "Someone is going to the secret vault again." ”

Guo heard a shout piercing the night sky and said, "What a bold man, he dares to come to the secret vault." Hu Zhenbang heard it familiarly, and exclaimed: "It's to eat more yourself, why did he come." ”

Mu Hanyi also heard the voice of Li Yuanhao's personal guards eating more himself, and said: "Could it be that he also came to take the "General Essentials of the Martial Scriptures", and was in a hurry to present it to the Queen Mother without hiding the black clouds?

Hu Zhenbang whispered: "It is useless to get the Empress Dowager without Tibet, but in the hands of her brother Wuzang Xiangguo, it is very useful, he is a warlike minister in the court, and he has repeatedly agitated to attack the Great Song Dynasty and Khitan, once this book is in his hands, it is the key to open the door to his ambition." ”

The two of them stared at the place where the voice came from, and when they saw that they were eating more, they came behind Song Zanpu in an instant, and he suddenly saw a black-clothed boy who was no more than five feet tall was turning his back to him. Behind them, the dozen or so guards guarding the vault were staggered, disheveled, apparently killed, and searched for their keys, unbelievably astonished.

Immediately, without saying a word, he drew his sword and stabbed the "child" from top to bottom with a move of "Flowing Spring Waterfall".
