Chapter 49 Thief Underground (Wish Rice Ball and Watermelon good luck in the exam)
After finally getting rid of the plaster behind him, Wu Sheng immediately felt extremely relaxed and left without hesitation.
Inexplicably entangled with a female thief for a long time, Wu Sheng felt a bit unlucky. Wu Sheng quickly shook off this ominous thought and headed to the agreed meeting point - the lotus pond behind the hotel.
Guanyi is actually a small hill in the city, about seven or eight feet high, with a circle of more than half a mile. The area is not small, and it is surrounded by high walls from bottom to top.
There is a pond of dozens of acres next to the hill. The wall is the embankment, and the embankment is the wall. The pond is covered with thousand-petal lotus that is half a person tall, and the king lotus that is as big as a basin. Wu Sheng went down to the pond and felt refreshed and lightened.
, sitting on a big king lotus, sliding towards the center of the pond.
I don't know when, the night rain came down in patter. The rain was not heavy, and Wu Sheng's movements were completely covered up. When they came to the center, the umbrella-like lotus leaves blocked the drizzle, and Wu Sheng stood quietly under the lotus leaves.
waiting.
The father-in-law of the Hoe Lotus and the Peach Blossom Girl arrived one after another, and like Wu Sheng, they used the King Lotus as a boat and rowed over.
The father-in-law of the hoe carefully selected the lotus pods around him and picked a few of the best ones and put them in his bag. His face was full of joy: "Good, good, good!"
The peach blossom girl picked a lotus pod at random, curled up on the king lotus, peeled the lotus seeds while lying down, and put them in her mouth. She ate two seeds, frowned and spit them out, and changed to a thousand-petal lotus, peeling them off layer by layer.
Wu Sheng vaccinated the two people who arrived first: "There is a lot of excitement in the city tonight... Pengcheng guards are searching the market... there are still many experts."
Peach Blossom Girl said oh and continued peeling off the lotus petals.
Seeing that she and her father-in-law didn't seem to care, Wu Sheng asked, "Aren't you worried?"
Peach Blossom Girl said: "There is Boss Shi. Anyway, just listen to him."
"Have you so much confidence in Boss Shi?"
"Well... do you know the battle of Qi State's attack on Lu twelve years ago? The Qi army attacked six cities and reached Changshao. The Changshao is the key to the north of Qufu. If the Changshao is lost, the country will not be protected. The Changshao guard will
Afraid of the Qi army, he led his troops to flee. At that time, Mr. Shi served as the city gate leader and led 800 people to guard Changshao for ten days. He struggled to hold on until reinforcements from various places arrived. The north gate he personally guarded was as solid as a rock.
People call it Shimen..."
"So, this is not Boss Shi's real name?"
"Anyway, we call him Shimen."
Shimen stepped on a beauty lotus and came so quietly. Wu Sheng looked at him and suddenly felt a little admired. What he admired was not the cultivation he showed, but his story.
Shi Men's cultivation level is indeed higher than that of the four, but as a monk in the God Refining Realm, Wu Sheng has met countless people before, and he himself was once a great assassin at the peak of the God Refining Realm. The key is that a God Refining Realm monk
With 800 remaining soldiers, he was able to hold back the rising Qi army for ten days. Wu Sheng could not imagine how he did it.
Based on this, he suddenly gained some confidence in Shimen.
After Shimen arrived, he didn't say much, and took the lead to approach the post. When he came to the wall of the post, he plunged into the water. The husband and wife followed him into the water, while Peach Blossom Girl frowned, hesitated for a moment with her mouth pouted, and pinched her nose.
Jumped down.
Wu Sheng had no choice but to follow behind, hold his breath, and dive into the water. He saw a narrow underwater channel on the shore.
Shi Men got in first, followed by Hoe He's father-in-law, Peach Blossom Girl, and finally Wu Sheng. This waterway is quite long, and I swam along it for seventeen or eighty feet before reaching the end.
Shi Men pointed upward, signaling upwards, and the four people surfaced one after another, already in the deep well.
The mouth of the well was locked, and it was a rainy night. It was pitch black down there. If you were not a practitioner, you would probably be blind.
Shi Men jumped out of the water and floated directly under the manhole cover. He scratched the wall of the well and listened for a long time. He heard no more movement, only the subtle ticking sound of raindrops falling on the manhole cover. Then he made a gesture to let Wu
Wait for someone to come up.
Wu Sheng could not jump several feet from the water, so he obediently swam up along the wall of the well like a gecko. The fact that he was "injured" was known to everyone, and no one doubted it. Peach Blossom Lady once guessed that Wu Sheng was injured.
Sheng must have hid in Langshan to avoid revenge.
Wu Sheng went up to the manhole cover, and his father-in-law took out the hoe stick. The hoe stick instantly stretched and just supported the well wall, forming a beam.
Wu Sheng sat on the beam again.
Shi Men pointed at the manhole cover and whispered: "Unlock." As he said that, he grabbed a large door latch and took out a large door latch. He stared at the manhole cover solemnly. A god-refining monk like him could use his favorite magic method.
The weapon is absorbed into the sea of qi and nourished by spiritual consciousness. It is the natal magic weapon. This is a skill that monks in the Qi Refining Realm are envious of. Back then, Wu Sheng warmed and raised the natal magic weapon, the Jasper Long Sword, but it was a pity that it was seized by others.
It brings tears to my eyes.
Seeing that he was so solemn, the hoeing father-in-law tightened his hoe stick, and the peach blossom girl took out the peach blossoms, spit out the true essence, and opened the peach blossoms into an umbrella.
Not surprisingly, it turned out to be "unlocking". Looking at the responses of Shi Men and the other three, it was clear that the manhole cover was not a simple "iron lock", but must have contained a powerful counterattack.
Wu Sheng held his breath and put the manhole cover into the Tai Chi ball to meditate. If there was any sign that something was wrong, he would be ready to jump into the well and leave the rest to the other three - this was an agreement made in advance.
The spiritual power in the manhole cover is sucked into the Tai Chi ball. As the Tai Chi ball rotates, it is transformed from the yin and yang fish into grains of spiritual sand and merges into the small island of Qi Sea.
Shi Men and the other three people stood on the wall of the well, watching the manhole cover and Wu Sheng under the manhole cover with great vigilance, just in case anything unexpected happened.
In a place of right and wrong, Wu Sheng no longer held back and went all out. After more than half an hour, the last grain of spiritual sand was transformed. He took a long breath and called it a day!
This manhole cover is indeed a magic weapon, and it is a very good magic weapon. Wu Sheng judged it to be an upper-level magic weapon among middle-grade magic weapons. It transformed a lot of spiritual sand, more than 600 grains.
Wu Sheng got off the beam, slid down a short distance, and gave up his position. Shimen raised the stone bolt and signaled to the hoe man, who raised his hoe stick and slowly stretched it towards the manhole cover.
Time seemed to have stopped, with four pairs of eyes staring at the hoe stick. The hoe stick paused slightly under the manhole cover, and then poked upward...
The expected counterattack of the magical weapon did not happen, the alarm bell did not sound, and the manhole cover fell like powder. The peach blossom lady turned the peach blossom umbrella, and a strong wind blew out, sweeping all the powder into the umbrella.
The three of them curiously came over to look at the scraps in the umbrella. Shi Men and Hoe-Zhang nodded, and Taohua Niang threw the scraps down the well and gave Wu Sheng a smile.
It was still the hoe's father-in-law who took the lead and climbed out of the well. After a moment, he turned back and made a gesture to the well, and everyone filed out.
Guanyi is built according to the hill. It is located on the mountainside in the northeast corner of the hill. There are bamboo pavilions, strange flowers and rocks. Looking down, you can see half of the dark Pengcheng and the high hanging tower on the tower in the distance.
lantern.
In the streets and alleys of the city, strings of sparse bright lights could still be seen swimming back and forth. Shimen finally couldn't help but smile and said softly: "The guards have been mobilized, and the post is empty."
The hoe hezhang said: "Pengcheng is also strange. The post is built high up in the city..."
Shimen said: "Pengcheng is in a key position and controls Huaisi. Qi, Chu, Song and other great powers are watching closely. They ask for the post to be set up at a high place. They want to monitor Pengcheng. How dare Xu Jun disobey?"
