Twilight Chapter 24: The Wild Goose Pagoda

The Black Dust Goose Tower, with a total of seven floors, stands opposite the Chongming Bird sculpture, and the two are far away from each other. The eaves are raised high, like the beak of a wild goose. And because in spring and autumn, there are often geese flying over and inhabiting here, so it gets this name.

The Wild Goose Tower has existed for a long time, and it is used to store important historical books and items of Heichen, as well as the information files of each family, which are usually not open to the public, and only a few elders of the council hall can enter, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Each thing in the tower is protected by a different spell, and if an outsider tries to read it or steal it, the spell will send a forbidden signal. Each floor of the tower is protected by guards, and there are also people from the "hidden" organization to monitor in case of accidents.

Today, the Black Dust has invaded and the Central District has been destroyed, except for the Wild Goose Tower and the Chongming Bird statue. But the guards on each floor of the Wild Goose Tower have been killed and turned into puppets to continue guarding the place.

In a dilapidated attic not far from the Wild Goose Tower, Song Wu and Zhu Quanyu were exploring the forces that came and went. Their place was only two streets away from the Wild Goose Tower, but it was guarded by four patrols, two on each street, ten men each, two troops coming in front of them, and a lookout in the middle of each street to get a panoramic view of the streets.

Song Wu took a breath and walked into the attic, with a sad expression: "I noticed that there are many more troops in the Yan Tower than in other places, and I feel that there may be some information about the Dementor in it, and we have to sneak into it, but this patrol is too troublesome." We were two blocks away, there were four armies, which was tricky, and there was also a man on the lookout, answering each other. ”

"Ground patrols, aerial surveillance, and the defense around the Wild Goose Tower are not a little difficult. Zhu Quanyu frowned. He kept looking at the wild goose tower, in the heavy rain, the sky was dark, the light was dim, and this wild goose tower actually had a few strange breaths at the moment.

A thunderclap illuminated the dim earth, and the guards on each floor of the Wild Goose Tower. Although the time was short, the guards were pale and echoed through the floors like a ghost, which really startled people.

"The Wild Goose Tower is guarded by a spell enchantment, and there are guards patrolling, but few people usually come in, but in this case, they have increased their defense and strengthened the perimeter protection. Zhu Quanyu pointed to the patrol at the foot of the Yan Pagoda and said, "Look, there are eight teams, and there are eight guards standing around, which can be said to be leaky. ”

He raised his head, looked at the guards hidden in the dark, and added: "Even if you dodge these, the soldiers on each floor are enough for you to deal with, if you don't do it in time, once our figure is spread, the soldiers are still small, if Mo Hao and they come, it will be troublesome, and it may not be realistic to retreat with their whole body." ”

"If I were young, it wouldn't be a problem, but now, it seems that I have to be old. Song Wu laughed at himself.

"It's a pity you're old. Zhu Quanyu didn't have time to joke with him at this time, he carefully observed the patrols and sentries, and suddenly came to mind.

He pulled Song Wu over and said, "You see, their patrol is not without gaps. ”

Zhu Quanyu pointed to the two armies, "When the two armies pass each other, blind spots appear, and the sentinels will pay special attention to the street conditions and pay less attention to other places, and when the troops turn around and face each other again, they will relax and look elsewhere." ”

"So you want to ......"

"It's that gap, plus the rain, it's our chance, we have to get it right the first time. ”

Song Wu nodded, he sat down and tied the sleeves of his clothes.

Looking at the dark sky, he sighed: "When I was young, after that operation, there was no such exciting thing. He turned his head to look out again, "I've almost forgotten what it's like to run." ”

"I almost forgot, I don't know if I can run now. ”

"I kind of regret it. Song Wu stood up, put away his sleeves, and moved his muscles, "If I can survive this time, I want to watch the sunrise again, smell the flowers once, and cherish the present days, oh yes, next to the black dust is the sea, have you ever been there?"

Zhu Quanyu shook his head, "Don't say it, prepare to act." ”

"By the way, Lao Zhu, if I can't go back alive, when the time comes, I will have to trouble you, say 'I'm sorry' to my son......"

"Why, the last words have been thought of? I don't want to think about it here, and it is imperative to complete the task. Zhu Quanyu glanced at him, then interrupted him.

Song Wu smiled and stopped talking. They bent down slightly, ready to go, like two cheetahs, waiting for the time to come. At this point, they are looking for an opportunity. According to the plan, they passed through the sentry's missed sight in one go, and disappeared completely before they could react, then evaded the sentry's watch, and then passed through the patrol and entered the house near the Goose Tower.

It was raining a lot outside, which could not only blur the enemy's vision and increase the chances of evasion, but also increase the humidity of the houses on the ground and make it more difficult to escape.

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the sky, a white light flashed, and the two looked at each other, hurriedly jumped out, stood on the roof, and then ran away on tiptoe. They tried to keep their strength under control, trying to drown out the sound of the rain hitting the tiles. On the street, Zhu Quanyu kicked his feet on the ground, his body flipped in the air, and he hid in the shadows of the corners. Song Wu followed closely behind, hiding next to him.

There was another thunderclap, Zhu Quanyu hurried to the house next to the Yan Tower, and when the two armies had just intersected, he hurriedly swept over, tiptoed to the ground, jumped up slightly, jumped into the second floor of the house, and lay behind the railing to signal him to come.

Song Wu nodded and hurried over. Suddenly, the sky lit up, the ground was illuminated white, and the team in front of him was turning, and it was not far from him. Zhu Quanyu pinched the sweat for him.

Song Wu was in a hurry, and the vitality in his hands surged, knocking down the tiles on the house across the street, and he hid under the table of a small stall nearby, covering himself with a tablecloth.

Only a "pop" was heard, and the tiles fell to the ground.

"Who?" the soldiers rushed over, and the sentries shifted their gaze.

Song Wu saw the sentries looking at the tiles, and the patrolling soldiers all turned their backs to him, and hurriedly took advantage of the chaos to run away and join Elder Zhu.

"I guess the thunder shattered the tiles. The soldier who took the lead said, "Disperse, disperse." ”

Then they resumed their formation and continued their patrol.

"It scared the hell out of me. Zhu Quanyu said.

Song Wubitter smiled, and then looked at the Yan Tower: "It's a headache here." ”

"No, it's not too difficult, I've already found their flaws just now. ”

Under the dim sky, two swift shadows flashed through the staggered gaps of the eight teams, and then quickly took out the guards standing on the first floor.

Song Wufu froze the guards' backs and kept them in a standing guard posture, while himself and Zhu Quanyu cautiously slipped into the first floor of the Yan Tower.

As soon as I entered the door, I suddenly felt the smell of books, and the books in the Yan Tower were comparable to those in the book city. Song Wu shook off the water on his clothes, then looked ahead, and couldn't help but sigh: "I have to find when, and there is a spell." ”

"Shhhhh Zhu Quanyu held up a finger and reminded.

"The Dementors have set up a lot of troops here, and they must have some scruples, and there must be information in these ancient books that make them jealous. Zhu Quanyu found two candles in the drawer, lit them, and saw the entire floor clearly with the help of the faint candlelight. "Let's look for it separately. ”

The two went their separate ways and searched for each other layer by layer.

The spell is known to all the elders, and they know how to crack it, but it really adds a lot of trouble to lifting the spell while flipping through it.

Zhu Quanyu found a book in the corner, the cover was worn out, and a lot of dust had accumulated, and it seemed to have a long history, but not many people read it. He untied the spell and read it carefully, as soon as he opened the book, there was a great musty smell on his face, the pages of the book were yellowed, the texture was very rough, compared with the current paper was much worse, and it had been some years from the outside.

The text on the book is also relatively old, with a complex structure, not as simple as it is now, but it is still vaguely recognizable from the font.

The further back the book, the lighter the text and the more torn the paper. By the end of the page, there was only a strange circle, nothing else.

"What is this?" There was a figure on the circle, surrounded by stripes. At the first glance, Zhu Quanyu felt a trace of power fluctuating. He subconsciously put his hand up and stroked the magic circle, the texture of the page of this magic circle was actually much more comfortable, and there was a trace of heat.

Suddenly, the circle flashed, and a little light lit up from the top of the formation, and then slowly crossed the pattern, brightening the entire formation, and then, it emitted a beam of light, flowing through this dim floor. Slowly, the particles of this light were arranged in an organized manner, gradually becoming humanoid.

"Is this ......?" Song Wu walked over, saw the book in Zhu Quanyu's hand, and frowned, "This magic circle seems to belong to the Mo family." ”

The particles were finally arranged, and they changed into the appearance of a man, with a clear face and clothes. He has gray hair, but he has a handsome figure and a sassy demeanor. As for clothing, it is obviously much behind Song Wuthem.

"May I ask who you are ......?" Zhu Quanyu and Song Wu bowed to him.

"You are... Descendants of the Black Dust?" he asked.

"Yes, in Xia Zhu Quanyu. ”

"In the lower Song none. ”

"Why are you here?" the man asked.

"That's right, Heichen encountered the invasion of the Dementors, and we had no choice but to come to the Wild Goose Tower to find a way to solve Heichen's predicament. ”

"Dementors... I didn't expect that after so long, the grudge was still unresolved..."The man shook his head and sighed.

Song Wu said: "Dare to ask the seniors about their names." ”

"My surname is Mo, and my single name has the word 'injury'. ”

"Ink hurt senior?" Song Wu and Zhu Quanyu were startled and hurriedly saluted him.

Mo Wound, the founder of the Mo family, the founder of Black Dust, and the first chairman of the Council, made great contributions to Black Dust. After his death, the Mo family named his sword "Ink Wound" in honor of him as a sign of respect. Later, because of some war twists and turns, the ink wound sword disappeared.

"Senior, could it be said that the Dementor has already had a holiday with Black Dust?" Song Wu asked.

Ink Wound nodded and said, "Back then, a war broke out between Black Dust and the Dementors, and the Sect Master of the Dementors came to the battlefield in person to defeat Black Dust, and later the Chongming Bird appeared and saved Black Dust. I thought that after many years, the grievance had already been understood, but I never thought that it would come back. ”

"It turns out that when the Chongming Bird appeared, it was to deal with the Dementors, so in fact, the grudge between Black Dust and the Dementors was planted thousands of years ago?"

"That's the senior, you're ...... now"

Mo Shu said: "I'm worried that something will happen to Heichen, so I will inject some of my power into one of the Mo family's formations, and if I need it in the future, I can help." ”

"Senior, in this case, please give us some guidance and find a way to rescue Heichen. The two men knelt down and pleaded with each other.

Mo Hurt sighed, "Well, this is probably fate, please hurry up." ”

After the two of them got up, he continued: "Behind the sculpture of the Heavy Bright Bird, there is a formation diagram, which is specially designed to deal with the dementors, the two of you go and write down the formation, find someone with the same martial arts skills to practice together, and then you can relieve the trap of the black dust." ”

"Thanks for the advice!" the two were overjoyed and thanked Mo Wound.

"Now the black dust is saved!" Song Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was always gloomy.

"Lord Mo, is there anything else?"

Mo Shen nodded and said, "This calamity is far more difficult than you think, and it can't be solved by force alone." And whether the black dust survives or dies is all up to you. ”

"We're going to do what we do!" said the two of them.

"Suppressing force with force is a momentary achievement; With that, the body of the ink wound slowly disappeared, and the light dissipated into the floor......

"Suppress martial arts with heart?" Zhu Quanyu muttered, savoring these words repeatedly.

"Let's go. Song Wu proposed.

"Don't you look up there, I feel like there's something more important up there. Zhu Quanyu looked up at the spiraling staircase, and there was a dim light shining from the tall building. He stared at the light, and he couldn't help but feel a little distracted, and he felt that there was some kind of force there that was attracting him.

Song Wuze pushed Zhu Quanyu and said, "Don't waste time, so as not to be discovered." ”

"Okay..."Zhu Quanyu nodded helplessly, and had to withdraw his gaze from the top. "We've got to find a way to get out, we can't just get out from the first floor. ”

"Hmm..."Song Wu thought for a moment, except for the sound of heavy rain falling and the footsteps of patrol soldiers coming and going, "I can only solve the soldiers on the high floors." ”
