After the meal, the little toad checked out and left.

Ji Longjun and the three of them sat around the small table in the restaurant, and no one had any intention of returning to the inn.

Ji Longjun, Ji Kai, and Ji didn't look at each other, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile on their faces.

"Brother, what time do you leave?" Ji Kai asked in a low voice.

"It's just now, don't worry, let's leave in half an hour!" Ji Longjun looked at his two younger brothers and said.

"Okay, then eat your fill. Brother, do you have any money in your pocket?"

By the time it was approaching, it was already dark.

Qicheng is the most prosperous city within a radius of thousands of miles, with a large population and developed commerce, so the cold night still can't stop people's enthusiasm to play in the streets.

The three of Ji Longjun quietly lurked at the edge of the grove where they practiced martial arts during the day, separated from the inner city by a wall.

Ji Longjun looked up at Ji Kai, who was hiding behind the battlement, with half of his head exposed, carefully examining the situation, and pointed in with his hand. Ji Kai gave a sure look, and then nodded.

Ji Longjun also nodded, glanced at Ji Ye, and the two got up at the same time.

The city wall seems to be more than a zhang high, but in front of the Ji Longjun brothers, there is really no barrier function at all. The three of them were like tanuki in the dark, silently climbing over the city wall and shallow into the inner city.

Ji Kai had already seen the patrol situation in the vicinity of the wall, and led Ji Longjun and Ji Bu around, and soon went around to the edge of the palace wall.

Ji Kai stood firm on the wall, and Ji Bu jumped on Ji Kai's shoulder with a "whoosh", and took the ladder to the wall.

Ji Ya just looked inside, and found that there were two black-clothed samurai standing there on the opposite side of the wall, which turned out to be a patrol point.

Ji also did not signal Ji Kai to put him down, and the three of them were silent and quietly slipped into the distance for a while. After making sure that there were no patrolling samurai around, he took a ladder again, and Yuki didn't take the lead in climbing the wall.

"There's no one here. Ji didn't look back and nodded to Ji Longjun.

Ji Longjun waved his hand, and Ji Ye left Ji Kai's shoulders and climbed into the other side of the palace wall. Ji Longjun concocted the same method, stepping on Ji Kai's shoulder and half of his body on the palace wall.

Ji Kai jumped up slightly, grabbed one of Ji Longjun's legs hanging outside, climbed up the wall, and jumped into the palace wall with Ji Longjun.

Ji Longjun probed around in the darkness in the corner, and after selecting a road, he pointed with his finger, Ji Kai and Ji didn't nod, and followed Ji Longjun towards the depths of the palace.

However, the closer you get to the inside of the palace, the more samurai patrol the paths.

The Ji Longjun brothers could only hide in the dark most of the time, and they could only hurry up and walk in the staggered gaps of the patrol. After more than half an hour, they finally climbed over the two layers of palace walls and came to an open square.

There's no way to go any further.

There is no shelter around, and there are torches everywhere at night, so it is very difficult to sneak across the square. But staying here isn't a long way to go, and the patrol guards will be back here soon.

Ji Longjun looked at it and pointed to a towering mountain rock not far away.

It is a small garden made of rockery, with many rocks and flowers, suitable for Tibetans. The three of them hunched over the wall, crept into the garden like bobcats, and settled behind a rock more than a foot high.

"His grandmother's, so many guards, dare to say that this is an abandoned ruin, there must be a problem!" Ji Longjun whispered.

Ji Kai nodded: "Brother, but I don't think the little toad should know what the situation is here, he doesn't seem to be lying to us." ”

"Well, yes, the people of Qicheng think that the palace is just a ruin, and the palace is in the inner city, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter here, they are just instilled with the concept of ruins. What is the situation in the palace, it is estimated that few people have really come to see it. ”

"Brother, what should we do then?

"I can't go any further, the further I go, the denser the guards become. Let's just check it out, since we know that there are cats here, be careful, you can't take your life inside. ”

"Hey!" Ji Kai was a little dejected, "There must be 'valuable things' here." We're here for the right time, but unfortunately we can't take a few sheep by hand. I eat steamed buns every day, and I don't even have some meat stars, how can I have the strength to practice martial arts......"

"Cough, Da Kai, needless to say," Ji Longjun patted Ji Kai lightly on the shoulder and said, "Aren't we helpless, all we eat and live are paid for by the little toad." He only has five taels of silver in his hand that he cheated from his father, how can the four of us practice martial arts without saving some flowers! It's only been a few days, and there are still many days to come, so it's good to be able to eat enough steamed buns!"

"Brother, how nice it would be if we had money, we could buy whatever we wanted, and we could go wherever we wanted......"

Ji Kai looked longing, and seemed to have begun to dream of being a rich man.

"Alright, Dakai, don't say it. It's still early, it's quiet, and the guards don't seem to be patrolling here. In another hour or two, we'll see how things go when the time comes, and if there are still so many guards, we'll go back the way we came!"

"Good!"

"Well, don't be idle during this time, let's practice the 'Taishang Washing Pulp Sutra' alternately, it should be quite late to return to the inn tonight, it is better to practice here." ”

"Well, brother, listen to you. ”

The three of them worked cross-legged in the secluded garden, each listening to all directions, looking at the nose and the nose and the heart, and practicing martial arts alternately.

After a few days of cultivation, although Ji Longjun still felt a splitting headache when he entered the realm of divine consciousness, he noticed that the slightest true yuan training attracted from the Heavenly Bird Star did have a healing effect on the wounds of divine consciousness, so Ji Longjun would desperately cultivate the treasure scripture every night.

In the heavily guarded palace, in the remote rockery garden, three teenagers sat cross-legged on the ground, one in front of the other, and the two were sitting cross-legged, not moving, as if they were blending into the rockery boulders on the side.

A dozen feet away, a patrol group of samurai walked through the small square. Suddenly, two stubborn figures rushed towards them, and the samurai hurriedly fell to one knee, and the two figures disappeared in a flash, as if they did not see these samurai.

"Jun, Jun, you run slowly, that bird is in front, let's chase it!" one of them whispered, as if he was afraid of disturbing someone, and did not dare to raise his voice.

Another person hurriedly said: "In case it encounters the palace wall and it flies over, we must be one step slower if we climb!"

Listening to the voices of the two of them, they were all little teenagers, and they were chasing some birds in a hurry.

It was a white falcon with a snow-white chest and abdomen, but a lot of beautiful gray-white horizontal spots on its feathers.

The white falcon is ferocious and is several laps larger than the average. The white falcon circled low in the sky and finally landed in the rockery, its hooked beak slightly arranging its wings, and it did not move.

The two teenagers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when they saw the white falcon landing in the garden from a distance, they stopped tracking and slowly leaned over.

"Dapeng Bird, you and Xiaobai are both birds, tell me, why did Xiaobai and we suddenly fly away after having a good time?" asked the young man called Xiaojun in a low voice.

"Well, Xiaojun, although my name is 'Dapeng', but I am a fake human, how can I know what a bird thinks. Could it be that Xiaobai is hungry? Fly here to find food?"

"Impossible, since Xiaobai was brought by Uncle Zaisi, I have fed it every day, I am afraid that it will not play with me, and it will definitely not be hungry if it is hungry. ”

The young man called Dapeng scratched his head and said suspiciously, "That's weird." Xiaojun, Xiaobai didn't see it fly away from a free-range breeder, what kind of nerves did it have this time, and he flew to the rockery without looking back, could it be that there is a white falcon here, and it's ...... Mother?"

"Hey, Roc Bird, your imagination is really rich...... Shhhhh

The boy suddenly lowered his already small voice to a minimum, and at the same time bent down, as if he had discovered something.

Dapeng hurriedly stopped and followed Xiaojun's fingers.

In the small garden, several rocks more than a foot high stand in the darkness. On the top of the rockery with a strange shape, about ten birds stopped there in a staggered manner, all of them with low eyebrows, as if listening to some teaching.

What is especially strange is that birds of prey such as the white falcon are natural enemies of small birds such as pigeons and sparrows. At this moment, a huge white falcon is harmoniously leaning against a flock of birds, which is very strange.

Xiao Jun looked back at the guards who were silently following not far behind him, frowned, and waved his hand at them.

The guards had to retreat far away.

Xiao Jun was still not satisfied, pointed at them fiercely, and then waved his hand into the distance. The guards had to retreat farther away, lest they disturb the pleasure of the two recalcitrant men.

"These people are like flies, they have to follow wherever they go, it's so annoying!" Xiaojun whispered to Dapeng.

"Ha, Jun, they want to keep you safe. ”

"Protect a fart, I still use them to protect their three-legged cat kung fu? It's a bit weird here, don't let those fools spoil my good deeds!"

Xiao Jun said and crawled forward on the ground for a while, and Dapeng had to follow closely and crawl towards the garden. However, Jun only climbed a little more than a foot before stopping.

"Jun, what's wrong?" the roc bird asked in a low voice as he crawled up to Jun's side.

Xiaojun pointed to the grass under the rockery, and Dapeng looked at it in amazement.

It turned out that there were a few weasels on the ground, and at this moment they were also lying on the ground honestly, and their appearance was the same as the birds on the rocks.

"It's really strange, I've never seen anything like this...... Jun pondered, and when he looked back, the annoying guards had finally left the garden far away and went on patrol elsewhere.

Xiaojun and Dapeng glanced at each other, and they both saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.

The two of them grew up together since childhood, and although they have different statuses, they are like brothers. They were very familiar with the grass and trees in the palace, and it was the first time they had seen such a strange phenomenon in the garden.

"What should we do, we can't get over? There must be something very strange behind that rockery that is attracting these little animals!" Dapeng said in a low voice behind Xiao Jun's ear.

"But if I get any closer, I'm afraid I'll scare the little animals away. As soon as they run, they will definitely disturb the 'thing' behind the rockery. ”

"Jun, look over there. The roc bird pointed in the other direction, which was against the palace wall and could go around to the other side of the garden.

"Ha, are you still clever and outflanked?" said Xiao Jun.

"Outflank!"
