However, these disciples in Chunyang Taoist Temple did not seem to realize that there was something hidden in the dark night.
In the dark night, after most Taoists had fallen asleep, shadows began to move in the darkness.
These people wearing night clothes and almost blending into the darkness are naturally thieves from the Japanese country.
These people, headed by Onizuka Twenty-Four, groped forward.
There is no moon today, and it is dark in some places.
Moreover, in order to prevent fires, Chunyang Taoist Temple only left lights in key places, making it extremely difficult for these people to travel.
However, it is precisely because of this weather that it provides good conditions for their infiltration.
Don't worry about being discovered.
Of course, not being able to light the torch was their biggest regret.
Fortunately, I had gone through it in advance, otherwise I wouldn't have known where to go next in the dark.
In a room with lights still on.
A disciple in Taoist uniform looked at Taoist Master Chunyang who was still hunched over the table and said, "Master, it's getting late. You should rest as soon as possible. Your health is not good these days. If you get sick again,
How should I deal with myself?"
Taoist Master Chunyang coughed twice weakly and said: "Master, I have to write down the results of today's experiment. My memory is bad as I get older. If I write it down tomorrow, I am afraid that I will forget the formula of the gunpowder."
Everything is clean, cough, cough, cough... As people get older, their bodies become less and less useful, so you should go on night watch first, and after I finish writing this recipe, I will naturally go to sleep."
Seeing that his further persuasion was fruitless, the disciple had no choice but to bow and say goodbye.
For some reason, Master's health suddenly became very poor a few days ago. He became weaker and weaker, and his coughs became more and more frequent.
Moreover, the master had to stay up late every night to write a new recipe for gunpowder.
The brothers who were on night duty these days all advised Master to take a rest early, but Master refused to listen and insisted on finishing writing the new gunpowder recipe.
They, the disciples, could not continue to persuade him, so they had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
However, Master will fall asleep after a while, so there is no need to worry too much.
At the outer wall of Taoist Master Chunyang’s room.
A group of men in black were hiding in the darkness, holding their breath and listening to the conversations inside.
Since the soundproofing effect of Taoist Chunyang's room was not very good, the men in black could hear the conversation inside clearly.
The leader, Onizuka Twenty-Four, was even more delighted when he heard the sounds inside.
It turns out that the recipe for gunpowder is in this room!
And what they mean is that the old Taoist priest's health has not been very good these days.
Onizuka Twenty-four had already found out clearly that this old Taoist priest's medical skills could be said to be unmatched by anyone in the capital. He could not even cure himself, even when his end was approaching.
But whether the deadline is over or not has nothing to do with people like them. As long as they can steal the gunpowder formula today, it will be considered a victory!
After the lights in the Chunyang Taoist Temple room were blown out, Onizuka Twenty-Four tiptoed to the window, took out a hollow pipe, pierced the window paper, and blew the drug in.
Not long after, the sound of even breathing came from inside.
Onizuka Twenty-four felt that the time was almost up, so he waved his hand and led the people inside.
After a few people tiptoed into Taoist Master Chunyang's room, Onizuka Twenty-Four took out a shimmering night-time pearl and searched for traces of the gunpowder formula with the help of this little bit of light.
Finally, Onizuka Twenty-four successfully found a piece of paper at the table of Taoist Master Chunyang with the word gunpowder written on it.
No one thought that this gunpowder formula could be so easy to come by!
They had sneaked in for less than half an hour and had the gunpowder formula in their hands.
According to Taoist Master Chunyang’s voice just now, this is the latest gunpowder formula!
Just tested it out!
It can be said to be freshly baked.
It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all to get it!
Onizuka Twenty-four held this formula in his hand as if he had found a treasure and was about to leave.
Next to Onizuka Twenty-Four, Matsushiro, who was also wearing night clothes, whispered: "Your Excellency, Deputy Ambassador."
Onizuka Twenty-Four whispered dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter?"
Matsushiro whispered: "This gunpowder formula was created by the old Taoist priest. If he dies, won't the gunpowder in Chu State stagnate in the future?"
Onizuka twenty-four said: "This old Taoist priest's health is almost dying. He may die in a few years or even this year, so why bother to go to such trouble to arouse suspicion."
Matsushita Lang said: "This is wrong. This old Taoist priest has superb medical skills. If he really healed himself and continued to create gunpowder, wouldn't our country of Japan never be able to turn around again? Please think twice, Deputy Envoy!"
When Onizuka Twenty-Four heard this, a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes. Matsushiro was right, this old Taoist priest was a threat to their Japanese country.
Even if he died here, he would not be suspicious of them. At most, they would be suspicious of the power struggle among the Taoist priests within Chunyang Taoist Temple!
Thinking of this, Onizuka Twenty-four took out a dagger and walked into Taoist Master Chunyang's bed.
Just when Onizuka Twenty-Four was about to stab the bed, Taoist Master Chunyang, who should have been drugged into a coma, suddenly moved his hand, and several small stones flew out of the bed.
Each small stone accurately hit the calf of a man in black. The men in black immediately felt a sharp pain in their legs. They instinctively hugged their legs and fell to the ground, wailing.
The sound is everywhere.
Naturally, the dagger in Onizuka Twenty-Four's hand fell to the ground due to pain, and he fell instantly.
At the same time, Onizuka Twenty-Four was also shocked.
He really didn't expect that Taoist Master Chunyang's skills were so profound that he could hear voices and identify locations even in the dark, and he was not affected by the drug at all.
Thinking of Taoist Master Chunyang's well-proportioned breathing just now, Onizuka Twenty-Four couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
It turns out that he was playing tricks on him!
Taoist Master Chunyang stood up and said, "Originally, I thought I was a guest from afar and wanted to give you a small gift, but I didn't expect that you actually wanted to take my life. As my junior brother said, the Japanese country is a group of greedy white-eyed wolves!
"
Although Taoist Master Chunyang's voice carries the vicissitudes of his age, it is sonorous and powerful. There is no trace of him being weak due to illness.
The voice of Onizuka Twenty-Four was surprised when he heard Taoist Master Chunyang's words: "You mean, this gunpowder formula is real?"
Taoist Master Chunyang said with a disrespectful smile, "This is a prescription for nourishing the lungs that Pindao has been experimenting with for a long time. After taking it, he will definitely cry louder when he is beaten."
