Chapter 81: Treasure Hunting
Changqing's attitude is very resolute, and he must get the pill in his hands. Even Xiaoxiao began to doubt: "Could it be that this old guy wants to swallow it alone, what can he do with the pill at this age, and he can still change his hair for a second spring." ”
After hearing the little questioning, Lao Dao was furious, jumped to his feet and scolded: "Fart! Why do you want that pill when Dao Ye is so old? Can you still become an immortal! Do you still need to improve Dao Ye's kung fu again? There are a few opponents of Dao Ye on the rivers and lakes! Take 10,000 steps back, even if Dao Ye's martial arts are all lost, how many people dare to do something to Dao Ye with Dao Ye's identity? Dao Ye just thinks that eating your food has been using you for so long, especially the last time you gambled and you gave Dao Ye a face, Xiaoyun almost lost his life again, so he didn't want to give you two juniors some benefits for a while, but was suspected by you. It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin who doesn't know the hearts of good people!"
Seeing that Lao Dao was angry but his true feelings were revealed, the two little ones felt warm in their hearts. Hurry up to accompany it, Xiaoxiao even came up with a trick of sprinkling and tricking, and promised to go out of the mountains on another day and invite Lao Dao to eat for ten days, good food and good wine are enough, which made Lao Dao turn his anger into joy.
It's just that Yun Yun was still a little puzzled and asked: "Even if you want to, what can you do? After all, it's not our thing, do you rush into the stockade to grab it?"
Lao Dao pouted disdainfully: "Let's just say that you young people don't want to use your brains." That elixir is not ours or Fang Ping's, but Fang Zhongtian. Although it is not in his possession now, since he has given us it is ours. So first of all, we don't have any moral burden. But how to get it back depends on the opportunity. ”
Xiaoxiao knows the character of Lao Dao best, and knows that this Taoist master likes to use his brain the most, and he usually tries not to be noisy when he can do it, and the so-called acting at the opportunity is pure nonsense. So he asked: "What you always said about acting when you see an opportunity is to seize the opportunity?"
Old Dao Deng had a black line on his head, and shouted angrily: "Dao Ye, I am a master of Taoism! Not to mention the earth-shattering kung fu and crying ghosts and gods! It is the status of the rivers and lakes that is about to stand up to the sky! Can you be so unbearable as you say? Dao Ye is ......."
"Yes, yes, the second master of Longhu Mountain, the second master!" Before he finished speaking, Xiao Xiao teased again. Angry, Lao Dao turned away and ignored her.
Early the next morning, the four of them embarked on the return journey. Fang Zhongtian had the cloud to support him, and everyone took a shortcut, so it took less than three days to rush back to the small village.
Aunt Li saw that her man was back, although he was not lightly injured, but fortunately, her life was worry-free, and she brought back the urgently needed medicinal materials, and she was so excited that she cried and laughed. is even more grateful to the three of them.
The medicine was quickly prepared with the help of Xiaoxiao, and Fang Xiang's condition improved greatly after taking it, which made Fang Zhongtian's family smile rarely. Aunt Li even prepared a rich dinner for them. During the banquet, Fang Zhongtian just kept saying words of thanks, and did not say a word about the other party's village. He knew that the other party must have made a decision on this matter, and if he said more, it would seem that his motives were not pure.
For the next few days, they stayed at Fang's house, discussing with Fang Zhongtian every day how to detoxify, but there was no progress. Even Xiaoxiao, who has always been proud, has to admit that his attainments in medicine are still lacking. Lao Dao went out early and returned late, and often pulled Fang Zhongtian to ask a few words. Everyone knows what he did. The most leisurely thing is the clouds, sleep when you are full, and then go out hunting, and unconsciously gain a few pounds.
That night, Lao Dao didn't come back until the middle of the night. Called Yun and Xiaoxiao and said: "After a few days of investigation, I have basically figured out the environment of Fangjiazhai. Although there are some traps and traps on the periphery, it is not difficult to enter, and there are no masters in Fangjiazhai itself. ”
"Tonight, I deliberately went into the inner village and found out where Fang Ping and his son lived. And there is a place that is more suspicious, the defense is very tight, it is estimated that it is a place to put important items, and if nothing else, the elixir should be there. The only thing that is a little troublesome is that there are a few large dogs that are very alert, but it is not a problem. Now the key point is how to get the antidote at the same time when you get the pill. It is relatively simple to do only one of these two things, and the success rate is also very high, but once you make a move, it will definitely arouse the alarm of the other party, and it is difficult to succeed in the second thing. In fact, the easiest way is to kidnap Fang Ping or his son to torture him to extract a confession or use it for exchange, but kidnapping and ransom is inferior after all, and people will laugh at it if it is passed on. Moreover, the evidence in our hands is only the words of Fang Zhongtian alone, and the poisoning is also speculation, if the two of them die and do not admit it, we will also be very passive. In the end, if the fish dies and the net is broken, the pill will be even more than worth the loss. So let's sum it up, I overheard tonight, there is a good opportunity in two days, Fang Ping wants to pass on the position of the patriarch to his son. When the time comes, there will be a ceremony in which the whole village will participate, and then the defense will be lax, and it will be a good time to get started. ”
Yun Yun thought for a while: "Since this is the case, then we have to start two things at the same time." The real person is in charge of the elixir, and Xiaoxiao and I are in charge of getting the antidote. By the way, is it possible for Xiaoxiao to configure some drugs so that people can take them in the same state as Fang Xiang's poison, at least very similarly. ”
Xiao Xiao thought for a while and said, "Yes, but the effect of the medicine is not that long." But it's okay to hold on for a few hours. What? You want to drug their father and son, and then let them take out the antidote to treat themselves, and then take it?"
"Clever!" Yun praised.
Lao Dao slapped his thigh: "High! It's really high! Or you young people are cunning! Then it's decided, act in two days, Xiaoxiao is responsible for the drug, once their father and son are poisoned, I will take the opportunity to steal the pill, and wait for them to take out the antidote to treat the cloud and take it." ”
"That's right. Xiaoxiao said: "Once the antidote appears, you don't have to forcibly snatch it, as long as you get a part or the residue, I can test its ingredients and configure it myself." ”
All three nodded in agreement, and the plan was finalized.
Two days later, in the evening, they set off by night, and came to the periphery of Fangjiazhai just after the watch. Lao Dao had already understood the environment, and took the two of them to bypass the trap and came to the outside of the wall. explained in a low voice: "Remember the layout of the village, and act separately if there is no problem." Remember that safety is the most important thing, and run away as soon as you are found. With your skills, no one should be able to keep it, whether it is successful or not, the three watches will meet outside the village. ”
So the three of them stretched out their bodies and sneaked in. Lao Dao went straight to the location of the treasure house, and the clouds were hidden on a big tree outside the bedroom of the Fang family's father and son, and Xiao Xiao went up to the roof.
At this time, Fangjiazhai was very lively, Fang Zhonghe took over as the patriarch is a big event, during the day, everyone sacrificed to the ancestors, and at this moment the people of the entire Fangjiazhai are participating in the banquet in the lobby.
Fang Zhonghe had already drunk a lot, although this patriarch was a little unjustifiable, but under his father's prestige, the old guys in the clan did not dare to disagree, and they were still taking turns to toast him at this time.
Fang Zhonghe was very proud, looking at people's flattering smiles, he couldn't help but think of the cousin: "Maybe you are still huddled in that small grass house at this moment and worrying about his son, right? When your son can no longer suppress the poison on his body, doesn't he have to obediently send that secret to me with his own hands? If it weren't for the fact that his father was worried that Fang Zhongtian's personality was too stubborn, and he would rather die than say how to unlock the Qiqiao Exquisite Lock, he would have led someone to destroy their family of three. It's almost the same now, according to the news that his subordinates have gotten, the frequency of the little cub's poison is getting faster and faster, and it is estimated that it will not last for two years. When the elixir arrives, his skills will increase greatly, and he may not have to huddle in this cold Fangjiazhai. It is said that Jiangnan is good, the four seasons are like spring, and even women are extraordinarily spiritual. ”
Fang Zhonghe was looking forward to a bright future, but he didn't notice that there was a ripple in the wine bowl in his hand.
Xiaoxiao was on the roof at this time, secretly lifted the tiles, and easily locked on to today's protagonist with the bright lights in the lobby. Then he took out a hollow grass stalk that he had prepared, stuffed the prepared pill into it, calculated the distance, and blew it out, falling into the wine bowl that Fang Zhonghe was holding. Seeing that he had drained a bowl of wine defenselessly, Xiao Xiao nodded with satisfaction and left without hesitation. The pill that he configured melts when it enters the water, and the wine can make the qi and blood churn, and it is estimated that it will attack in less than an hour.
Lao Dao is an urgent person, and he has already made a move at this time. Today was a special day, everyone went to the banquet, only two guards stood at the door complaining, obviously very dissatisfied with the fact that everyone else was drinking and eating meat on a cold day, and they could only drink the northwest wind.
Suddenly, the two of them felt numb at the back of their necks at the same time, and their eyes were dark, and they didn't know anything. Lao Dao walked out of the hiding place in a big way, and the two drugged eggs were dragged away from the two big dogs. Now only two stones are enough to solve the guards.
"It's not challenging!" Dao Ye muttered regretfully, with a slight force in his hand, the door lock broke in response, so he slowly pushed the door open. Two crossbow arrows came with a vicious wind, Dao Ye had already prepared, his fingers flicked slightly, and with two dings, the arrows swirled and didn't know where to fly. Then, without pause, a copper coin shot out, cutting the rope, and the bell that was about to ring was silent.
"Hehe, I'm quite careful!" said the old man to himself, and then jumped on the beam, and then crossed his palm into a claw. The hard log was inserted deep with five fingers like tofu, and Changqing just hung it and changed his palms and went deep. There was obviously a problem with the bricks on the ground, so Lao Dao didn't want to waste effort to inspect them one by one.
In a moment, Changqing entered the inner warehouse, and the outer periphery was full of large and small boxes, some of which were opened, and they were all yellow and white.
"It's really rich!" Lao Dao smacked his lips: "It seems that Fangjiazhai has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years!"
Further inside, it is much more empty, with some antique jade objects placed on two shelves, and many calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, which seem to be old.
"Tu Baozi!" Lao Dao pouted: "I have also learned to be elegant!"
Without any further delay, Changqing sat directly on the shelf and relieved himself of the burden behind him. muttered in his mouth: "Little ancestor, it depends on you whether you succeed or not!"
