Volume Two: The Wind Rises and Spiritual Clouds Chapter 129: The Little Thieving Cat
There is no moon tonight, and the cold stars twinkling in the dome flicker like spar.
Lin Dongjiu drove the flying cloud boat through the layers of sea of clouds. When he entered the territory of Fengyinmen, he deliberately slowed down a little to prepare for the hidden overhaul to spy on his traces.
The majestic mountain gate of Feng Yin Sect could be seen in the distance. Lin Dongjiu put away his flying cloud boat and flew down with Chang Hu. He concealed his presence and quietly slipped in front of Feng Yin Sect's sect-protecting formation.
Seeing the sect-protecting formation with brilliance flowing in front of him and looming murderous intent, Lin Dongjiu had no intention of using Phantom Flash to pass through directly.
After all, he was not sure whether Phantom Flash could successfully penetrate such a high-level sect-protecting formation.
Without complete assurance, Lin Dongjiu didn't want to take risks.
However, he is not strong enough now. Otherwise, no matter whether it is Fengyin Sect or Kunlun Jiange, everyone who offended him at the beginning will be taken away by it. There is no need to sneak in like this.
Lin Dongjiu put away his complaints and sent Chang Hu to look after the situation. He took out some formation materials and began to look for loopholes in the formation.
An hour passed, and Lin Dongjiu was sweating profusely from exhaustion. He threw the formation materials on the ground and simply inserted a phantom into them!
It's not that he gave up on himself, but that the level of the formation like the Protector Array was too high, and he couldn't break it with his current level of formation. He had no choice but to take the risk and use Phantom Flash.
"Master, master!"
Just when Lin Dongjiu was about to use Phantom Flash, Chang Hu ran back.
Lin Dongjiu looked tense: "What's going on? Someone is coming?"
"That's not true, but I accidentally discovered a big hole in the sect-protecting formation!"
"Hole?"
Lin Dongjiu frowned: "You mean there was a hole in the formation's shield?"
Chang Hu firmly said: "That's right!"
"Something weird, take me to see it quickly!"
Lin Dongjiu, led by Chang Hu, walked to a remote corner and saw a hole in the formation.
The hole is not big, just big enough for a person to crawl through, but it looks a bit like a dog hole.
But of course it is impossible for a dog to dig a hole out of the formation. If you get closer and take a closer look, you will see that the hole is surrounded by a faint light, as if it has been cut open by someone.
The large array of streams of light continued to gather towards the entrance of the cave, as if trying to repair the hole.
Although the entrance of the cave has been gradually shrinking due to Liuguang's repairs, the shrinking speed is extremely slow. At this speed, it is estimated that the entrance of the cave can still be maintained for about another hour.
As for who cut the hole and how, Lin Dongjiu didn't know at all.
All he knew was that he might not have met his peers!
This hole must have been opened not long ago, which means that the person entered it not long ago, and there may be some inventory left for him.
As long as you don't move the spiritual stones in the treasure house, it's still an easy journey.
But if it moves... I'm sorry, our colleagues are enemies, so we will kill them all!
There is no other way. If you want to win over and form a force, spiritual stones are essential!
He took out a pen and paper and quickly explained to Chang Hu:
"You draw me a simple map of Feng Yin Sect, and mark out the treasure house of Feng Yin Sect for me. Then you go back to Beiyu City, and always pay attention to Feng Yin Sect's movements. I will find you again if necessary."
"good!"
Chang Hu drew a reminder and said: "Master, the sect treasure house of Fengyin Sect is very tightly guarded, and there are many restrictions inside. I'm afraid it will be easy to get in but difficult to get out."
Lin Dongjiu said calmly: "This is not your concern. Just do as I say."
"yes..."
Chang Hu said nothing. After drawing the map, he quietly retreated.
Lin Dongjiu scanned the map twice, first used the demonic energy to hide his body, and then went in through the dog hole.
Fengyin Sect covers an area similar to that of Luoxia Sect. The sect is surrounded by mountains and full of spiritual energy. It is also an excellent land for cultivation.
Perhaps because of the war, there were very few disciples patrolling the Fengyin Sect. There was almost no light on each hilltop and it was completely quiet.
Lin Dongjiu didn't stop all the way and went straight to the mark of the sect's treasure house.
According to Chang Hu, for the sake of safety, Fengyin Sect hollowed out a mountain to build the sect's treasure house.
When he arrived at the place, he saw a gate forced out of the mountain wall.
There are still two guard disciples standing outside the gate. The cultivation level of these two people is not too high, they are only at the second level of Foundation Establishment Realm.
In order not to disturb the two of them, Lin Dong's consciousness moved, and the two people's expressions froze at the same time. Taking advantage of this gap, he rushed out like a gust of wind, and a phantom flashed through the door.
Before they could take a breath, the two disciples came to their senses and didn't seem to notice. They thought they were sleepy in the middle of the night, so they just took a breath and continued to stand guard.
The treasure house of Fengyinmen is huge inside and covers an extremely wide area.
Lin Dongjiu took a look and saw countless luminous balls floating in the air, and all kinds of rare treasures were wrapped in the balls.
In addition to those balls, there are rows of cabinets in the treasure house. The cabinets are filled with various elixir materials. In the huge open space in front, piles of spiritual stones are stacked together, reflecting the white light that almost sparkles.
Blinded his eyes.
When he saw those spiritual stones piled up like a hill, he didn't rush over. Instead, he opened his dragon eyes and scanned them.
The light in the entire treasure house suddenly changed, and he realized that not only those floating balls were restrictions, but there were also countless restrictions in front of him that were invisible to the naked eye.
If he hadn't opened the Dragon Eyes, if he took one more step forward, he would probably trigger the restriction and attract people. At that time, his situation would be in danger.
Suddenly, Lin Dongjiu felt a gust of wind sweep across the back of his neck, but he did not turn around. Instead, he chuckled and reached forward to grab it.
"Crack!"
With a slight shock from the tiger's mouth, Lin Dongjiu held a slender ankle and flicked his wrist. The man was carried half a circle in mid-air by the huge force and rolled to the ground.
The man who attacked Lin Dongjiu was wearing tight-fitting black clothes, and his face was covered with black cloth, only revealing a pair of wary eyes staring at Lin Dongjiu.
Lin Dongjiu did not take action again, but took off his mask and said with a smile:
"Miss Nie, I didn't expect us to meet again."
This sneak attacker was none other than Nie Weiwei, whom he had competed with in the imperial city that day. After he defeated Nie Weiwei, they exchanged names, which was considered a friendship.
This woman's physical skills were extremely good. Lin Dongjiu was still muttering in his mind that it would be a pity for her not to become a thief.
Unexpectedly, she is really a thief...and an extremely clever thief!
The holes cut in the formation outside were probably her work.
Before Lin Dongjiu entered the treasure house, he knew that there was a colleague inside, so he immediately released his consciousness after entering and found Nie Weiwei hiding in the corner.
And when he found out that he actually knew this colleague, he was a little surprised.
But knowing each other is better than not knowing each other, at least it can reduce a lot of conflicts.
Nie Weiwei stared at Lin Dongjiu's face, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and after a while, she hesitated and said:
"Are you... Lin Dongjiu, who I had a fight with that day?"
Lin Dongjiu smiled and said: "Exactly. I didn't expect to see you here. What a coincidence."
Nie calmed down his hostility slightly, breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"It's a coincidence, but I didn't expect you to be in the business. Fortunately, it's you who came, otherwise I would have been in trouble."
Lin Dongjiu did not deny it, but joked:
"Miss Nie's body skills are so good, and her hiding methods are so clever. Even if people from Feng Yin Sect come, I'm afraid they won't be able to find you."
Nie Weiwei rolled her eyes at him: "You haven't discovered me in the end. Judging from your expression, you have already discovered me when I sneak attacked you, right?"
Lin Dongjiu would not admit that he had known about her companion for a long time, otherwise it would be really difficult to find her.
He put on his disguise props again and changed the subject:
"By the way, how did you get in when there was a guard outside?"
A trace of pride flashed between Nie Weiwei's eyebrows, and she said in a proud tone:
"Wherever I want to go, there's nothing that can stop me. Even the palace, I can't..."
"Ahem!"
Nie Weiwei stopped the topic: "Speaking of which, you're not bad either. I didn't even see how you got in."
Lin Dongjiu laughed, and after the pleasantries were finished, it was time to get down to business!
The two of them had a tacit understanding.
Not long after Nie Weiwei came in, she came to a light ball and began to break half of the restrictions she had already broken.
Inside the light ball is a sword, which should be worth a lot of money depending on its condition.
Her method of breaking the restriction was very obscure. Lin Dongjiu looked at it for a while and then stopped looking. He couldn't learn it anyway, so he just watched it for fun.
Besides, he doesn't need to learn...
As soon as Lin Dongjiu bypassed the invisible restriction, Nie Weiwei's voice sounded over there:
"I just wanted to remind you that there are invisible restrictions over there. It seems that I am worrying too much."
Lin Dongjiu made a reassuring gesture, went straight to the pile of spiritual stones, took out a few storage rings, and then frantically filled them with spiritual stones.
When the storage rings were full, he packed them in storage bags and worked very hard.
It's just that the storage bag is not as advanced as the storage ring. The storage ring can be used to store items into the ring with a single scan, while the storage bag requires you to manually fill the enlarged bag.
"I'll get you a shovel, you can use it."
At this time, Nie Weiwei's laughter came, and it seemed that she had already pocketed the sword in the ball of light.
She came over carrying a dark and worn-out shovel. Seeing that Lin Dongjiu only had a soft spot for spiritual stones, she also wondered:
"None of the magic weapons in those light balls is more valuable than these spiritual stones. If you take any one and sell it outside, you will get more spiritual stones than the spiritual stones you have installed."
Nie Weiwei blinked: "Or are you saying that you can't break those restrictions?"
"It's slow to get money from selling magic weapons. What I need now is cash, a lot of cash!"
Lin Dongjiu explained, took the shovel, and as soon as he took it, he clicked his tongue and said:
"Where did you find this shovel?"
Nie Weiwei shrugged and said:
"I forgot about it a long time ago. I don't know which sect it was stolen from. If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Lin Dongjiu waved it twice and said, "Don't tell me, this shovel is quite easy to use."
Nie Weiwei also smiled and said: "What's so handy about a broken shovel? You don't need it for farming."
Lin Dongjiu said matter-of-factly: "I don't farm, but I can use it to kill people! You see, although this shovel is broken, its blade is very sharp. One shovel can probably chop off half of the enemy's head."
"And you see, there are some weird lines on this shovel. Don't blame me for not warning you. This shovel may be unusual. You can take it back now."
Lin Dongjiu looked at the shovel carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more something seemed wrong.
The shovel head was already rusty, and the handle was even blacker, as if it had been burned in a fire and the surface was covered with a layer of black charcoal.
Moreover, there are some strange lines engraved on this shovel. Perhaps because it has been too long, these lines have been blurred.
At first, he thought these lines were strange, and that's why he became interested in the shovel.
Nie Weiwei said indifferently: "I didn't believe that this shovel was just a broken shovel, otherwise it couldn't have been hidden in the treasure house, right?"
"But I studied it for a long time and even asked my master to take a look at the palm. I finally came to the conclusion that those lines were probably just decoration and it was just an ordinary shovel."
It shouldn't be... Lin Dongjiu frowned and consciously told him that this shovel was by no means ordinary.
He tried to inject spiritual power into it, and after a moment, the lines on the shovel suddenly lit up, emitting a gray light.
"What's going on? I've injected spiritual power into shovels before, but this shovel doesn't glow like this!"
Nie Weiwei opened her little cherry mouth, her eyes full of shock.
At this time, there was only a "click" sound, and the shovel hit the ground together with Lin Dongjiu's arm, making a hole in the ground.
