CHAPTER XXIV
"Let's wait until it gets dark to get in from here. Mingyue pointed to a corner of the map and said.
Ye Xiaoer nodded and said, "Today downstairs, I heard something about the Wu Mansion. After speaking, Ye Xiaoer told Mingyue about the poisonous swamp forest Shimen that he heard from Hu Sanzi in the afternoon.
Mingyue pondered for a moment and said, "So, the strange wooden box that Wu Bin asked Uncle Ye to build has some connection with that stone gate?" This is not the same as Ye Xiaoer's conjecture.
Ye Xiaoer shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I always feel that there is some kind of connection between the two." ”
Then he glanced at Mingyue's empty hands and asked, "Mingyue, don't you use any weapons?"
Ye Xiaoer was a little strange, after all, Qingyunzi called himself a "sword boy", and it stands to reason that Mingyue should also be a good sword player. However, in the month of Qingyunguan, Ye Xiaoer had never seen Mingyue practicing swords.
Mingyue said, "Do you think I should take a sword to be worthy of the title of master kendo person." ”
Ye Xiaoer laughed dryly, after Mingyue said this, he knew Qingyunzi's current title.
Mingyue continued, "I didn't learn swordsmanship from my master, and my master said that I was not suitable for learning swords. ”
Ye Xiaoer said to himself, "Could it be that only sluts can learn swords?"
"Ahh
"Is the old Taoist master still sick?" Qing Yunzi thought about it and said, "I'm afraid that stinky boy and Mingyue are thinking about the old way." ”
......
"Then Mingyue, what kind of martial arts are you practicing?" Ye Xiaoer continued to ask.
The corners of Mingyue's mouth raised slightly, and she slapped Ye Xiaoer suddenly.
The distance between the two was not far, only three feet at best. By the time Ye Xiaoer reacted, the palm wind was already approaching in front of him.
Ye Xiaoer's feet moved slightly, and the whole person leaned back. In the next moment, the jade hand brushed the tip of Ye Xiaoer's nose, and Ye Xiaoer's palm flashed through Mingyue.
Mingyue's palm also aroused Ye Xiaoer's competitiveness.
Ye Xiaoer's right hand suddenly pushed out, and a move "Flower Blossom Style" shook towards Mingyue with a great thrust.
I saw that Mingyue was not in a hurry, and her right hand actually met Ye Xiaoer's move "Flower Blooming" by herself.
Before Ye Xiaoer could be puzzled, his right hand was like hitting cotton. Mingyue didn't know what kind of high-level unloading method was used to resolve Ye Xiaoer's "flower blooming" invisibly.
At the same time, Mingyue's left hand turned into a fist with the momentum of waves and attacked Ye Xiaoer head-on.
Ye Xiaoer frowned, turned his right hand into a fist, and greeted Mingyue with bursts of fist shadows.
This hand "Leaf Falling Style" was comprehended by Ye Xiaoer to a bit of essence, and its power was much stronger than the previous "Blossom Style".
However, Mingyue's fist technique mixed with the momentum of the waves seems to be superior.
The wave of fist shadows did not cause any obstruction to the waves of Taotao, and the waves swallowed the fist shadows with a devastating momentum.
Ye Xiaoer's feet moved together, dodging the next attack.
He said helplessly, "Okay, stop." ”
Mingyue asked with a smile, "Why don't you fight?"
Ye Xiaoer said depressedly: "Of course, it's because I can't beat you." However, it turns out that Mingyue is so powerful. ”
Mingyue said: "Actually, I can't win. I major in boxing and palming, and Xiao Er, your family's ancestral mastery is flying knives, if Xiao Er you use flying knives to win, it is not simple. ”
Ye Xiaoer said depressedly in his heart: "The result is still ...... win against me."
Waving his hand, Ye Xiaoer said, "Although I said so, the time I spent on martial arts in my hands far exceeded the time spent on flying knives. ”
"Little Er, haven't you heard the word talent? Mingyue said: "Your real talent is in the flying knife martial arts, not the martial arts in your hands. ”
"That's what the old liar said. Ye Xiaoer asked.
"Well, that's what the master said on the day you entered the country. Mingyue said: "The master also said that in less than five years, you will be able to win a place in the rivers and lakes." ”
Ye Xiaoer said a little proudly: "I didn't expect the old liar to be so optimistic about me." ”
"The master also said, 'But this stinky boy will be hacked to death on the street before he becomes famous.' ’。 ”
"......" the corners of Ye Xiaoer's mouth twitched slightly.
......
In a moment, two figures rolled out of the inn window and disappeared into the night.
These two are Ye Xiaoer and Mingyue.
The two of them ran softly through the empty streets. After a while, the two came to the corner of the courtyard wall that Mingyue said.
Mingyue pointed upward, Ye Xiaoer nodded, and climbed over the wall directly under his feet.
Bright Moon followed.
After the two climbed over the wall and entered, it happened that a team of guards not far away walked towards this side.
Mingyue patted Ye Xiaoer's shoulder and motioned for him to hide in the tree first.
Ye Xiaoer nodded, and hid with Mingyue to a big tree next to the courtyard wall.
After a while, the team walked in.
I only heard one of them say, "I don't think I saw Xiaohu for a few days." ”
Ye Xiaoer guessed that this little tiger was the Wu family nursing home that Hu Sanzi said was involved in Shimen.
The other said, "I heard from the housekeeper Wu that Xiaohu went home and got married." ”
"Tsk, this kid is also a good life. The third man said.
"But this kid didn't even invite his brother to rub it, it's really not authentic. ”
“......”
The sound faded into silence, and after a few moments it disappeared completely. After waiting for a while, Ye Xiaoer and the two jumped from the tree.
"Let's go to the guarded house first. Mingyue whispered.
Nodding, Ye Xiaoer sneaked into the night with the bright moon with his memory.
......
Outside a somewhat dilapidated house, three men dressed as nurses were looking around vigilantly.
Ye Xiaoer pointed to the house and asked, "Is this here?"
Mingyue nodded, "That's right, this is it." But...... The nursing home has changed. ”
Ye Xiaoer took a closer look and found that these three courtyards were all third-rate martial artists, not non-entry-level martial artists.
Mingyue frowned and said, "This afternoon, it was clear that there were still three non-rank martial artists, why did they become three third-rate martial artists at night?"
Ye Xiaoer seemed to think of something, and said, "I think, maybe the two guys sent by Wu Bin to assassinate me didn't come back to attract Wu Bin's attention." ”
Mingyue thought about it and felt that this was the most likely reason. said to her, "Now it seems that Wu Bin's subordinates are very likely to have second-rate, or even first-class martial artists." ”
"However...... Mingyue looked at the house in the distance, "there should be something important to Wu Bin." Otherwise, it will not strengthen the defense. ”
Ye Xiaoer said, "Then how do we get in now?"
Mingyue smiled mysteriously, took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, and shook it in front of Ye Xiaoer's eyes, "Look at what this is?"
"This is ......" With the faint moonlight, Ye Xiaoer saw three words written on the bottle with cinnabar, "Misty Immortal San".
"Drug?!" Ye Xiaoer recognized that this "Misty Immortal San" was a kind of drug he used when he cultivated the two senses of "taste" and "smell".
"This was prepared by the master that day. Mingyue said.
"Prepare the drug ...... with your hand," Ye Xiaoer said in his heart.
"With this 'Misty Immortal', it's easy to take down these three guys. Mingyue said.
As she spoke, Mingyue took out two pills, and then she handed one to Ye Xiaoer, explaining, "Take this antidote first, and save a while, and you will be tricked." With that, she swallowed her antidote.
Ye Xiaoer nodded, took the antidote and swallowed it directly.
Mingyue saw that Ye Xiaoer had already eaten the antidote, so she opened the porcelain bottle and poured out some white powder.
Then Mingyue vigorously sprinkled the white powder on the three of them. After a while, the white powder melted into the air and disappeared without a trace.
Mingyue said, "It will have an attack in about a cup of tea, after all, it is not so fast without a direct entrance." ”
Ye Xiaoer answered and continued to wait with Mingyue.
As Mingyue expected, after about a cup of tea, the three third-rate martial artists slowly fell.
"It's done. Mingyue patted Ye Xiaoer's shoulder.
Then, the two walked lightly towards the house. Ye Xiaoer glanced at the door and said, "It's locked." ”
Mingyue nodded when she heard this, and rummaged through the three nursing homes. Ye Xiaoer also reacted and rummaged through it with Mingyue.
Sure enough, Ye Xiaoer found a brass key on one of the nursing homes, which seemed to be the key corresponding to the lock on the door.
Inserting the key into the lock, Ye Xiaoer turned it slowly. Just listen to the "click", and the door lock is opened.
Ye Xiaoer whistled and pushed the door directly.
Entering the house, you will be greeted by boxes of silver and many precious antiques. It seems that this should be the treasury of the Wu Mansion.
Seeing so much money for the first time, Ye Xiaoer couldn't help but swallow his saliva. At this time, Mingyue slapped Ye Xiaoer heavily.
Ye Xiaoer was excited, and his vision became clear. He looked around and said, "This should be the treasury of the Wu Mansion." But...... Where's Dad?" At the end of speaking, Ye Xiaoer's brows furrowed.
Mingyue said, "Little Er, don't you think there are some strange places here? ”
"Strange ......" Ye Xiaoer muttered to himself, and he looked around carefully again.
Suddenly, Ye Xiaoer couldn't help but snap his fingers when he saw something.
"I see, Mingyue, look at that box. Ye Xiaoer pointed to a box and said.
"While other boxes are covered with dust, this one has very little dust on them. It looks like there should be people moving around a lot. With that, Ye Xiaoer walked to the box and pushed the box hard.
I saw a tunnel appear under the box.
"There's a good chance this is where my dad was imprisoned. Ye Xiaoer looked at the dark tunnel and said.
"But...... There are no torches here, how are we going to go down?"
Mingyue shook her head helplessly and said, "Really, you can't help it." With that, she took out a bead from her bosom that glowed lightly.
"Just use this. ”
Ye Xiaoer looked at the glowing beads in Mingyue's hand and couldn't help but ask, "Could this be ...... The pearl of the night?"
Mingyue chuckled and said, "The Night Pearl is so precious, how can the master have it." This is the luminous pearl of the Zhang family, which is polished from a kind of luminous ore, like the one in my hand can be bought for only ten taels of silver. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go down quickly. With that, Ye Xiaoer took the night light bead and walked into the tunnel first.
