48 West Wind(1/2)
Everything was agreed upon.
The four of them will sneak into the Honghu Pavilion at night. Cheng Xue will meet them at the entrance of the passage. Zhou Meng will make a noise on the top floor and focus all the guards' attention on the top floor. Yuan Bingyu will find the exorcism incense and pinch out all the incense.
Lose.
Wei Ji and Zhuang Xiang were preparing on the second floor and took advantage of the chaos to drop the diary.
After getting the lone copy, the two soldiers divided into two groups, divided their attention, and then met at the entrance of the passage.
The plan seemed seamless, and soon everyone was in their place.
Chengxue chatted with the two guards at the intersection of the passage. As they talked, the two guards told Chengxue what happened when building the Honghu Pavilion. From selecting the spiritual wood, to building the frame, to completing it,
The decoration, the complicated steps, and the rigorous security arrangements were all explained to Chengxue.
After hearing this, Chengxue couldn't help but sweat for the few people inside.
Suddenly, I heard the guard say: "Nothing unusual has ever happened in Honghu Pavilion."
"Where is it? There was a little accident a few days ago." Another guard said, "But we solved it quickly!"
Chengxue asked: "Oh? What kind of accident is it?"
"Little brother, I think you are interesting, so I will tell you a story. A few nights ago, a gust of wind blew out a row of lanterns, and the entire second floor was blinded! We thought, someone must be trying to steal something!
Thanks to my good eyesight, I saw a window opened on the west side. I went up and closed the window in three and two steps. Then I quickly lit the lamp and looked back and forth. Nothing was missing."
"Don't blow it. By the time you close the window, all the things will have been stolen. It's because of the quick pace of our guards from the Department of Sanity. As soon as the lights went out, the entire second floor was surrounded. Even if he kept flying, he wouldn't be able to fly."
Don’t go out.」
Zhou Meng nodded: "Then, what if those immortals who can fly arrive at the Honghu Pavilion?"
"What are you afraid of? We are not afraid of those pretenders here. Just a piece of exorcism incense will make them look for teeth all over the ground. Those imaginary men, without the spell, can't even break one of our fingers, you say
Are you hahaha?"
"It's true. A wisp of smoke from the exorcism incense makes them lose their energy to suck milk, and they want to run wild in the Honghu Pavilion, but there is no way out!"
Chengxue listened quietly to the two guards talking, waiting for Zhou Meng and others to come over, ready to knock out the two enthusiastic guards at any time to make way for Zhou Meng and others.
At this time, Zhou Meng was wandering on the top floor, overlooking the entire Honghu Pavilion, and determined the positions of everyone. Except for Cheng Xue, who was invisible in the passage, everyone else was already in place.
At night, the light in the Honghu Pavilion comes from densely packed lanterns. As long as the west window is opened and the cold wind comes in, these lanterns will inevitably be blown out. Even if they cannot all be extinguished, they can always create some panic.
Yuan Bingyu found the exorcism incense, and found it in more than one place.
In the entire Honghu Pavilion, there are exorcism incense near every railing and screen. It may take two hours to extinguish them one by one.
It would be better if it rained now.
Yuan Bingyu picked a key place and secretly removed the incense sticks around the log. When he passed by Zhuang Xiang, he gave Zhuang Xiang a wink, indicating that the incense sticks on the second floor were almost completely removed.
"Hey! You! Don't light incense here!" Yuan Bingyu was caught by the guards.
Yuan Bingyu immediately put out the incense in his hand, "I'm sorry, I don't know."
The other party was not harsh and only said: "This floor is full of calligraphy and painting. Incense will damage the calligraphy and painting. Do not light any spices that are not placed here."
"I understand, I understand, I'll pinch you now." Yuan Bingyu lowered his head and kept echoing.
After the guard walked away, Zhuang Xiang quietly tried a trick. Sure enough, he could already use magic.
As long as you can use magic within this range, getting the log won't be a problem.
So, Zhuang Xiang raised his head and looked at Zhou Meng on the top floor.
Zhou Meng's previous arrangement was that after Zhuang Xiang was sure that he could perform magic, he would blow a kiss to the top floor, and then Zhou Meng would start making noise.
Now it seems that Zhuang Xiang is not
Maybe he made that kind of frivolous move and looked away at Zhou Meng.
Zhou Meng walked to the west window as if nothing had happened, leaned against it, and pretended to rest.
Then he slowly reached out and pried the wooden bolt of the window.
Before his hand could touch the wooden bolt, the entire western wall collapsed.
Zhou Meng's body was completely empty and he almost fell down. Fortunately, a strong west wind blew in and "helped" Zhou Meng back.
Wei Ji and Zhuang Xiang were both stunned.
If you don't mean to open the window, how can you open the entire wall? If things get serious, there will be many consequences.
For a moment, there was a strong wind in the Honghu Pavilion, the lanterns flickered on and off, and screams and running sounds merged into one.
Zhou Meng was also running around following the others, not out of panic, but more out of confusion.
Where did the evil wind come from and blew away the entire western wall?
Among the crowd, Zhou Meng saw a calm man in black, with the lower half of his face covered by a mask, for fear that others would not be able to tell that he had ulterior motives.
Zhou Meng saw the man wink down and followed the man's gaze. He saw a man in the same attire as him in the middle of the second floor. He nodded towards the former and then slipped towards the log.
.
Wow, there are other people who came to pick up the log today.
Zhuang Xiang and Wei Ji soon realized that the situation was abnormal and prepared to get the log first.
Suddenly, Wei Ji saw four or five black figures rushing towards the log from the third floor.
At this time, Zhuang Xiang was casting a spell on the glass cover outside the log. Wei Ji panicked for a moment and directly performed the Ji character formula.
When the Ji character formula came out, Wei Ji knew that he had made a mistake.
There is a spirit-dispelling incense here, so the effect of Ji Zi Jue will be greatly reduced. How can we stop these people? However, the reality was beyond Wei Ji's expectation.
These black shadows stopped in the sky, and the Ji Zi Jue took effect.
Wei Ji didn't understand, but was pleasantly surprised.
Zhuang Xiang concentrated on solving the glass cover, hoping to live up to Wei Ji's Ji Zi Jue.
Unexpectedly, the guards from the Honghu Pavilion rushed over, each holding exorcism incense in their hands.
In the green smoke of the spirit-expelling incense, the Jue of Silence quickly dissipated, and the figures hanging in the air fell rustlingly around the log.
At this time, Zhuang Xiang happened to unlock the glass cover, and the diary was placed naked in front of him.
The black figures were also shocked. One of them immediately stepped forward to grab the log, but his outstretched hand was stopped by the guard.
Around the log, the guards and shadows were fighting.
After a while, the glass cover on the log was restored by the guards.
The surrounding exorcism incense was also lit.
At this time, Zhuang Xiang's spiritual power was silent, and it was impossible to open the glass cover.
Zhou Meng realized that something was wrong. They were not the only ones thinking about the diary tonight.
So, Zhou Meng shouted: "Run!" to remind everyone to evacuate first.
Wei Ji was about to leave when he was suddenly pulled back by a dark shadow and held his shoulders.
"Don't come over, come over and I'll kill her." The black shadow threatened the guard.
The guard leader of the Honghu Pavilion immediately stopped and said to the man who blackmailed Wei Ji: "Looking at your skills, you are also cultivators. If you harm civilians, you will definitely be boycotted. If you don't want your sect to be harmed,
If it’s a drag, let this civilian go!”
Wei Ji lowered his head deeply and seemed to be scared.
Zhuang Xiang remained motionless on the side, his eyes turning to the diary beside him.
The log is right in front of you. If you don't get it today, the Honghu Pavilion will definitely strengthen its defense in the future, and it won't be easy to get it again.
The men in black blackmailed Wei Ji, coerced the guards to let go of their accomplices, and then slowly retreated.
The guards are also keeping an eye on the hostages at all times, waiting for the best opportunity to rescue them.
At this time, Zhuang Xiang walked towards the log, holding an exhibition stone in his hand.
The glass cover is on the log. If it cannot be cracked by magic, it can only be cracked by mortal methods.
When Zhou Meng saw Zhuang Xiang's actions, his heart became twisted. Once Zhuang Xiang made a move, the guards would turn around and arrest Zhuang Xiang. Isn't this risking his life?
Zhou Meng looked around and suddenly had an idea and shouted: "Run away, run away! Run away from here! Steal a painting!"
The guard leader on the second floor immediately said: "Oh no, we are attacking in the east."
The men in black watched the guards divert their attention and immediately pushed Wei Ji away, preparing to retreat.
However, the main bodyguards went to the fourth floor to chase the so-called painting thief, and the diary's defense was empty. The man in black turned back decisively and continued to take the diary.
At this moment, Zhuang Xiang was about to break open the glass cover.
Unexpectedly, the stone was actually blocked by the guards flying over.
Although the human guards had no spells, they were all capable of reaching out. Zhuang Xiang fought with this guard for several rounds. Although he had the upper hand, he could not distract himself to get the log.
Wei Ji rushed over and lured the guards away from Zhuang Xiang. However, both Zhuang Xiang and Wei Ji were beaten to the ground by the guards.
