Chapter 143: The Great Thief
As the rudder of the Demon Gate, the Li Mansion can be regarded as a strict guard, killing machines everywhere.
But in the face of thaumaturgy such as the dragon-seeking style, the so-called tight defense is actually similar to a sieve.
Bai Cheng relied on the ability of the dragon-seeking qi machine to probe the qi machine, and he could advance and retreat freely in the Blood Flame Army, not to mention a small demon rudder, but with a cup of tea, he took Lin Su and came to the attic lightly.
The attic is three zhang high, divided into three layers, the whole body is painted vermilion, the building body is made of cypress wood that is more than 100 years old, the doors and windows are carved into good nan wood, the summer can repel mosquitoes, the winter can keep warm, coupled with the careful pondering of the skilled craftsmen, it can be said that the carved beams and paintings are made, and the ingenuity is heavenly.
Lin Su was still standing downstairs, looking up, only to see that it was dark in the attic, and listened carefully, there was silence all around, and he pulled Bai Cheng and whispered: "Is it really here, why doesn't it look like someone?"
Bai Cheng put his index finger to his lips, made a quiet gesture, and said in a low voice: "There is indeed no one on the lower two floors, everyone is on the third floor, covering the window lattices with cooked cowhide, and only a few gaps are exposed for ventilation, so there is neither a trace of light nor a sound." ”
Lin Su also looked at it for a long time and said, "Brother, don't be kidding, why can't I see it?"
Bai Cheng smiled and said, "It's just some tricks, Brother Lin has been in the Daomen for a long time, and he is a person from outside the party, and he can't touch these things." ”
Lin Su has always prided himself on being well-informed, since he met Bai Cheng, he has always been mentioning Bai Cheng, but now he is being mentioned by Bai Cheng, and he can't help but be a little depressed.
Bai Cheng didn't know that Lin Su was still unhappy, and said in a low voice: "Brother Lin is here for a while, and the younger brother will go up and listen to the movement." ”
He knew that Lin Su was not good at light work, and it was inevitable that he would make a noise when he climbed the attic, so he let him stay downstairs.
Lin Su was even more depressed when he heard this, and was eager to save face, saying: "Why bother so much, and look at my brother's ability." ”
Bai Cheng knew that he had strange Dao skills and often had unexpected abilities, but he had never been lazy, and it was rare for him to be so active, so he said, "Then take a look at Brother Lin's Dao skills." ”
Lin Su also smiled, pulled out three goose feathers from the seam of his collar, and said something in his mouth, and only after a cup of tea did he stop and ask, "Brother, where is the gap you are talking about?"
Bai Cheng pointed casually, and sure enough, there were a few gaps in a few unnoticeable places.
Lin Su also nodded, put the goose feather in the palm of his hand, opened his mouth and blew, a goose feather floated up with the wind, taking advantage of this breath, swaying straight up to the third floor, and drifting towards the building along one of the gaps.
Seeing the goose feathers floating into the gap, Lin Su also showed a smile on his lips, twisted up a goose feather, handed it to Bai Cheng, pinned the other goose feather behind his ear, and said, "Brother, try it too." ”
Bai Cheng painted the gourd in the same way, and pinned the goose feathers behind his ears in the same way.
Strange to say, the goose feather was pinned behind the ear, and it began to tremble slightly, and then a clear voice came.
Bai Cheng was startled, and then looked at Lin Suhuan, only to see that his face was full of pride, and he praised in a low voice: "Brother Lin is very capable." ”
Lin Su also smiled, but he was also not modest.
The sound of talking kept coming from their ears, and the two of them stopped talking, holding their breath and listening carefully to the conversation in the attic.
After a while, the two looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces became very strange.
Lin Su also took the lead in saying: "Brother, I always thought that the masters in the world were in the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, but today I learned that the middle of the rivers and lakes is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Although the Demon Gate has fallen in recent years, it is also a problem for the henchmen of Buddhism and Taoism, but I didn't expect to be robbed by a one-legged thief, which really opened my brother's eyes. ”
Bai Cheng also couldn't laugh and cry, and said: "I thought they were heavily guarded to prevent our Flying Star Gate from attacking, but I didn't expect it to be like this." ”
It turned out that the heads of the Li family were staying in this attic, discussing a major event that happened last night.
Recently, it has been rumored that there are one-legged thieves in Jianghua Mansion, up to the lord of the mansion and down to the people in the market, all of whom are panicked.
The Li family disdained this, the Li Mansion was originally one of the rudders of the Demon Gate, and there were many good players in the house, especially the contemporary head of the Li family, who was a master of Qi training, and he rarely met opponents with his magic skills, so where would he be afraid of the little Jianghu thieves.
Unexpectedly, yesterday evening, the one-legged thief actually touched Li's mansion, and I don't know how he escaped the heavy security of the mansion, sneaked into the secret room, and stole a lot of property. It wasn't until this person was about to leave that he accidentally touched a mechanism that caused the alarm bells to sound.
Frightened, everyone in the palace flocked to the secret room to capture this person, but was defeated by this person one by one.
Seeing that he was about to rush out of the house, the head of the Li family hurriedly arrived, fought with him, and was stabbed by him, but he also slapped him and forced him back into the courtyard.
In desperation, this person turned into an attic and hidden, and just saw a man lying unconscious on the bed, so he took the man hostage and threatened the head of the Li family.
This hostage is none other than Cheng Shiming, the elder of the Flying Star Gate.
Cheng Shiming is a hostage deposited here by an elder of the Demon Gate, and the head of the Li family can only watch this person take Cheng Shiming away.
After this person left, the head of the Li family convened all the principals in the mansion to discuss, saying that this person was hit by a big soul searcher by him, and he must be in pain, and he will inevitably come back to steal the antidote in the next two days, so he wants the principals to scatter people in the mansion and set up an ambush, just waiting for this person to be caught.
Bai Cheng sighed and said, "I didn't expect this to happen, if Elder Cheng was here, we could still think of a way to rescue him, but now that Elder Cheng has been robbed, this matter is difficult to do." ”
Lin Su also thought about it and said, "Brother don't worry, didn't the head of the Li family say just now that the one-legged thief hit him with a big soul searcher, and he had to come to steal the antidote." ”
Bai Cheng was skeptical and asked, "Is this really the case?"
Lin Su also shook his head and said: "The Demon Sect is also a sect that has competed with the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, although it has declined over the years, but the ten great divine skills are not so easy to solve. ”
Bai Cheng nodded and said: "That's the only way, now that the Li Mansion is heavily guarded, I'm afraid that person won't be able to please him when he comes, let's act when we see the opportunity, it's best not to let him fall into the hands of the Li family." ”
The two were discussing, and suddenly felt that the red light flashed in front of them, as bright as day, and they couldn't help but be surprised, and then they heard many people shouting: "There is a fire!"
The two of them quickly turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw four corners in the southeast, northwest and northwest, covered with clouds, flames flying, and several long and tall tongues of fire **** everywhere. In an instant, many pavilions were on fire.
The Li Mansion had originally buried many good hands in the dark and arranged a lot of organs, but now they were forced by the flames, and they couldn't ambush them, so they came out to put out the fire.
Bai Cheng hurriedly pulled Lin Su to hide in the dark, and said in a low voice: "Someone set fire!"
Lin Su didn't ask why it wasn't an accidental fire this time, he knew that this was probably also a trick. (To be continued.) )
