The night breeze is blowing, and the crescent moon is like a hook.
On a summer night, when the heat has disappeared, the surrounding vegetation is filled with the chirping of cicadas. This is the foothills of Mount Tai's Yuhuangding. The surrounding area is very desolate, without any buildings.
At this time, you should be lying in bed and sleeping. Even if you are not sleeping, you shouldn't wander around in a place like this.
But at this moment, there are three night walkers standing here. Not only are these people not sleepy, but they are also full of energy, and their eyes are like lightning.
Among the three men, the leader was dressed in black and brown shorts, with a silver mask on his face, and a dart bag slung around his waist. He was actually a famous thief in the world. Behind him, stood a fat man.
, and a thin middle-aged man.
The fat man's name is Yan Hongfei, nicknamed Chaoshui Yanzi. The thin middle-aged man's name is Sun Ling, nicknamed Omnipotent.
The Yin escort led these two people here tonight to formally implement the plan, intending to snatch the Zichu sword from Zhao Zheng who currently lives in the Taishan sect. The plan he made tonight is foolproof and will never fail. Just follow
It's the same case he did before.
In a complete plan, he needed an internal agent from the Taishan sect, a locksmith, a "stone" and a master of Qinggong. Now these people and objects have all been gathered together to form a perfect team.
The purpose of searching for insiders is to find out in advance the news within the Taishan sect, Zhao Zheng's residence, and the details of the transfer and distribution of personnel within the sect.
The purpose of finding a locksmith was to pry open a door hidden deep inside Mount Taishan. This job was supposed to be done by the little mouse, Sun Yue, but for some unknown reason, this person did not attend the meeting. So,
He later found another locksmith to replace him, that is, the all-pervasive Sun Ling next to him.
Sun Ling and Sun Yue have an uncle-nephew relationship. Sun Yue learned the lock-picking skills and basic martial arts from his uncle Sun Ling. All in all, Sun Ling's lock-picking skills are better than Sun Yue's and he is a better helper.
Looking for a "stone" is naturally not an ordinary stone, but a rare "soul stone" in the world. This stone can suppress the sword spirit in the sword, making the sword spirit lifeless and unable to function. Want to seize the top grade
Or a top-quality sword. You must have such a special stone to help.
The purpose of finding a Qing Gong master is to carry out the most important snatching operation. The better the Qing Gong, the less likely it is to alert the masters in the Taishan sect, and they can steal the Zichu Sword without anyone noticing.
As for the Silver Escort himself, he only needs to be responsible for the overall situation of the abbot. If everything goes well, he doesn't even need to do it himself, everything can be handled by several other people. In the past, he arranged it like this every time he committed a crime.
The feeling fascinated him deeply.
"This is it." Yin escort stood on his heels and pointed forward. He said through voice transmission. On the opposite side is a mountain wall at the foot of Yuhuangding Mountain. There is an inconspicuous mountain crevice on the mountain wall. Between some vegetation
Under the cover, it is difficult for outsiders to see this mountain crevice.
Yan Hongfei squinted his beady eyes, stared at the crack in the mountain, and asked via voice transmission: "Is this the entrance to the secret passage?"
"Yes, this is the entrance to the secret passage. It is absolutely correct. It was the entrance pointed out to me by Jiang Jiuzhi, and I have personally explored it. Through this secret passage, I can avoid the eyes and ears of the Taishan Sect.
, directly to the Jade Emperor Peak, but there will be an iron gate blocking the way halfway." The silver escort said and turned to look at the thin Sun Ling, "I will have to trouble you to take action then."
"I'll do the work, don't worry, just leave the unlocking to me. But the ugly thing is ahead, I will leave immediately after opening the lock, and I will not interfere with seizing the sword." Sun Ling said in a fair manner.
The duck voice said.
"You guys just have to perform your duties. I will never let you do any work that doesn't belong to you." The silver escort promised.
"This is the best." Sun Ling nodded with a smile, and then sighed, "I never thought that one day I would be able to work with a silver escort. This is an honor for someone like me who makes a living by picking locks.
."
"If our cooperation goes well this time, maybe I will come to you again when I have business next time." said the silver escort.
"Thank you for the compliment." Sun Ling cupped his hands and said.
"It's getting late, let's set off." After that, Silver Guardsman led the team towards the crevice in the mountain, squeezing sideways into the crevice through the weeds.
This mountain crevice is about two feet wide. It is difficult to walk in if you stand upright. It is much easier if you turn sideways. But this ease is only relatively speaking, like a swallow flying in the water. For a fat man like Yan Hongfei, even if he turns sideways
Can't squeeze in either.
Silver escort was the first to enter the mountain crevice, Sun Ling was the second, and Yan Hongfei was the last.
If an ordinary fat man stood in front of this mountain crevice, he would only be intimidated. However, Yan Hongfei stood beside the ordinary fat man. He used his internal strength and tightened his abdomen. The fat on his body miraculously gathered up quickly, making him transformed.
He became a slender man. After he became thinner, he easily entered the mountain crevices without any effort.
The silver guard led the way. Although it was so dark inside the mountain crevice that it was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers, the cultivation level of these people was not low, and they could all see at night.
This mountain crevice is the exit of a secret passage. The real entrance is located on the top of the Jade Emperor. The original intention of building this secret passage is just in case. If the Taishan Sect is attacked, the disciples can use the secret passage.
Quick escape. For various sects, building this secret passage has both advantages and disadvantages. It is possible to use this secret passage to escape, and it may also be used by the enemy.
For the Silver Escorts, if they don't take this secret path and instead climb the mountain in the normal way, the risk will be much greater.
Everyone walked along the mountain cracks for a long time, and the front became wider and wider. Finally, they were able to walk sideways normally. Although they knew that no one was guarding this place, a few people still moved their steps just in case.
Put it down very gently, magnify the five senses, and carefully observe the surroundings.
Everyone walked all the way to the center of the mountain and reached the end of the mountain crevice. There was no road here, but a ladder leading straight upward appeared. This ladder leads to the top of the Jade Emperor Peak, which is more than a thousand meters high.
The ladder is also more than a thousand meters high. The ladder is carved out of the mountain wall. A series of protrusions are cut out from the mountain wall for people to grasp and step on. When you stand below and look up, you can't see the side at all.
There is only deep darkness.
This ladder is for people to climb, but two of the three people do not intend to climb the ladder.
Silver Guardsman and Yan Hongfei stood under the ladder, looked up, and jumped up one after another, relying on pure internal force to float upwards. Both of them have the ability to fly using only internal force, even if they don't use their feet.
The ground can also fly all the way to the top of the Jade Emperor. These two people can do this, but Sun Lingke cannot. His cultivation level is much lower than these two people. He does not have the ability to float internally, so he can only
Climb the ladder honestly.
The three of them, two by flying and one by crawling, traveled upwards for about a mile.
As they flew, the Silver Escort felt that this speed was too slow, so he took a hand and grabbed the weak Sun Ling with his hands, and carried him upwards. In this way, the three of them traveled much faster.
.Soon we reached the halfway point of the mountain.
A large round iron door lay across the heads of the three people, blocking their way.
This iron gate is made of extremely strong iron. It is invulnerable to invulnerability, water and fire. Moreover, there is an ambush inside the iron gate. If it is broken through with brute force, the mechanism inside will be affected. The mechanism will use iron ropes and bells to send an alarm to the top of the mountain.
Alarmed the people of Taishan Sect.
If you want to get through this iron door, there are only two ways, either open it with a key or use a magical method to pry it open. Don't expect to break it with brute force. Once you open this iron door, the road behind it will be clear and you can go directly.
Jade Emperor Peak.
"Brother Sun, it's time for you to show off your power." The silver guard raised his finger and pointed at the iron door, then made a gesture of invitation.
"Just leave it to me to open the lock, but there is no place to stay here. It's really troublesome. I don't have the ability to levitate in the air." Sun Ling looked around and said with a frown.
"This is easy to handle, just leave it to me." The silver guard said easily. He lifted Sun Ling to the edge of the stone staircase, let Sun Ling climb up, and then floated under the iron gate. He calculated the distance between Sun Ling and the iron gate.
The optimal distance between them, raised his hand, and used his internal force to condense into a luminous thin plate.
The thin plate is round and suspended in mid-air, like a luminous jade mirror that lingers for a long time.
Only warriors who have reached the level of the eighth level of heavenly power arising from the heart can freely shape their internal energy into various shapes. Being able to do this proves that the mysterious Silver Escort has at least the eighth level of cultivation, or even higher than this!
"Brother Sun, please! I guarantee you that this makeshift pedal is very strong. Even if it's you, even an elephant will be fine standing on it." The silver escort smiled. Although he was wearing a silver
Because of the mask, others could not see his face clearly, but there was an obvious smile in his voice.
Sun Ling had a look of admiration on his face, swallowed his saliva, and bravely jumped onto the thin board. After shaking three times, he regained his footing. He found that this thing was as smooth as a mirror, and it was stable and easy to step on.
Practical. He clasped his fists at the Silver Guardsman and praised: "The Silver Guardsman is indeed well-deserved. His martial arts has reached an advanced level. Mr. Sun really admires him."
"No matter how good the Silver Guard is, he can't open a lock. This kind of work still has to trouble you, Brother Sun." The Silver Guard laughed.
After hearing such compliments, Sun Ling felt so happy. He felt honored to be praised by the silver escort. He happily grabbed the treasure bag hanging on his waist and took out various unlocking tools.
Among the tools, there are pointed ones, bladed ones, hooked ones, thorny ones... in short, everything is available.
The keyhole of the iron door is located in the center of the iron door, about the thickness of a little finger.
Sun Ling raised his head, picked up a special lock-picking tool, stuffed it into the keyhole, and patiently began to pick the lock. The secret tunnel iron door built by the dignified Taishan Sect was naturally not that easy to pick open. He tried to pick it for a long time but could not
I was able to pry it open, and I changed several tools during the process. Time passed little by little, one stick of incense passed, two sticks of incense passed, and three sticks of incense passed. He became more and more anxious, and his face became more and more ugly. Dou Da
Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks and dropped on his clothes. It was obvious that the iron door was more difficult to open than he imagined.
If the iron door cannot be pried open, everyone will not be able to pass through this secret passage and will have to find other ways to go to the Taishan Sect. This will undoubtedly greatly increase the risk and may alert the experts responsible for guarding and patrolling the mountain within the Taishan Sect.
Silver Dart really doesn't want to see that happen.
In order to improve Sun Ling's ability to pick locks and give Sun Ling a sense of urgency, the silver escort said lightly: "Brother Sun, this pedal that I condensed with my inner strength will be gone in about half a stick of incense."
It's going to disappear. If you can't pry the door open within this time, you can figure it out yourself."
There was a strong threat in these words. Sun Ling shuddered when he heard the words. He really couldn't imagine what would happen if half a stick of incense failed to pry open the iron door. Anyway, there would definitely be no good end. If there is a delay
If the Silver Escort incident happened, I'm afraid this place will become his burial place!
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to open the door within half a stick of incense." Sun Ling took a deep breath, controlled his nervousness, ordered his hands not to tremble, and then continued to seize the time to open the lock, using all his skills in picking locks at the bottom of the box.
Shake out.
Time passed bit by bit, and the cold sweat on Sun Ling's body had penetrated his clothes. The thin inner force plate under his feet became darker and darker, and the edges disappeared bit by bit, and the place for him to stay became smaller and smaller.
There was a heavy iron gate above his head, a bottomless secret passage beneath his feet, and two warriors watching him with eager eyes. This situation had forced him to a dead end.
Thieves are always bold, but he had to regret it at this time. If he could choose again, he would definitely not agree to the invitation of the Silver Guard. But then he thought again, if he did not agree to the invitation of the Silver Guard, he could still
Live till now?
Everything is unknown. Very few people in the outside world know the temperament of the silver escort. They only know that he is a thief who is sure to succeed when he commits a crime.
"Click!"
Just when Sun Ling was on the verge of despair, a pleasant sound finally came from the iron door, and then a gap was revealed. The middle part of the iron door was divided into two, and each of them hung down, revealing a passage leading upward.
When Sun Ling saw this scene, he suddenly felt that he had survived a desperate situation, and couldn't help but let out a low cry. At this moment, the thin plate of internal strength under his feet also reached the limit, and disappeared without a trace with a pop, causing him to fall.
. He was startled, his expression suddenly changed, and his body fell downwards. But as soon as he fell, the silver escort next to him reached out his hand and grabbed him firmly.
"Pervasiveness is indeed pervasive. It can even open the gate of Taishan Sect. It's all thanks to you today." The silver guard smiled. When he saw the iron door opened, he regained his previous pleasant attitude.
"Lucky, lucky." Chief Sun breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"According to Jiang Jiuzhi, there is no other door above the iron gate. The two of us can continue walking on the next route. Please come back." The silver guard put Sun Ling back on the stone staircase.
Sun Ling didn't want to break into the Jade Emperor's Peak, and wished he could escape as soon as possible. He said goodbye to the other two accomplices, climbed down the stone ladder in a hurry, and left the place of right and wrong in advance. (To be continued...)
