The martial arts training ground that had been noisy all day gradually became quiet.
After the competition was over and after a hearty drunken session, people like Bai Jiang and Ma Changan who were Xieling disciples all went home.
Most of the thirty or forty people who were homeless like Xu Rui had already gone to bed.
The martial arts training ground was quiet, and the quiet moonlight fell, covering the earth with a soft and beautiful silver gauze, quiet and peaceful.
Squeak!
The door that had been closed all day opened.
Big, sturdy dogs filed out one after another, and a pale old man in black robes walked out of the room.
It is Chen Laogou.
Walk through the spacious training ground and walk to the exit.
Except for the two men with guns, the other guards had withdrawn.
Hearing the noise, he quickly raised his gun to alert.
However, after seeing the big dogs and familiar figures, they quickly bowed and saluted.
"I've met Elder Chen."
"Um!"
There was a hint of numbness in the dull voice.
The two of them didn't dare to raise their heads. Longtang Chen Laogou, but the famous Yaizhen will retaliate and his methods are cruel. If you offend him, there will be no good consequences.
In their nervousness, the two of them didn't notice that a black figure slipped out of the door under the cover of the shadow of the wall.
After successfully leaving the martial arts training ground, Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Laogou's presence in the martial arts training ground is always a hidden danger. After all, he has no heartbeat, his face is pale, and his expression is numb. It is too easy for others to see his flaws.
During the daytime martial arts competition, fortunately Chen Yulou and Chen Yuntian did not insist on arguing with Chen Laogou, otherwise they would have caused a disturbance.
Using the cover of walls or the shadows of flowers and trees, he evaded many guards and arrived outside a house.
Xu Rui didn't know where Chen Laogou lived, but the dogs he bred knew the way.
"This old boy is so cautious that he actually built his lair in the main hall of Xiling."
The puppet took out the key, opened the door and walked in.
Xu Rui did not follow rashly.
Through Chen Laogou's perspective, he could see at least two dozen large dogs lurking in the shadows, sitting or standing in a large yard of 200 square meters.
It is basically impossible to sneak into Chen Laogou's residence without alerting them.
However, as their master, Old Dog Chen surrounded them as soon as he entered the door. He raised his slightly stiff right hand and went deep into his arms, took out a stack of puppet charms and threw them out.
Xu Rui outside the door formed a seal with his hands and recited the mantra.
The puppet talisman in mid-air fell on each dog like a sharp arrow, ignited without fire, and merged into their bodies.
After successfully controlling all the dogs, Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
Now his cultivation level has been promoted to blood exchange, and his Lingbao Puppet Technique has also advanced, allowing him to control more puppets.
Twenty or so dogs are no longer a burden.
I quickly walked into the courtyard and closed the door. The smell of dog was straight into my mouth and nose.
He frowned and took a moment to adjust before taking a closer look.
In front of you is a front yard of 200 square meters. It is paved with bluestones and there are not many flowers and plants. Dog food and excrement can be seen in the corners.
"No wonder it tastes so strong."
He dispersed the dogs and walked straight towards the two-story building in the middle of the yard.
Because of the protection of the dogs, the door was unlocked. When you push the door open, you will find a gorgeously decorated room.
Expensive porcelain is placed in the corner, famous calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, the furniture is made of fine mahogany, and there is no peculiar smell in the room.
"I can't tell that this old dog Chen really enjoys it."
To the left of the living room is a study room. The shelves are filled with books, but most of them are just furnishings and there is no sign of being flipped.
Xu Rui makes a seal with his hands.
Eagle Eye Technique.
The pupils dilated instantly, and everything in the room became extremely clear, even a speck of dust.
As he glanced over, he saw finger prints and footprints one by one.
There is no place that is particularly intensive or deliberately wiped.
"not here?"
Walking to the right side of the living room, there is a tea room, which is also used for entertaining guests.
Didn't see any clues either.
Step upstairs.
The entire second floor is divided into two rooms.
One looks simple, similar to a guest room.
The other one is interesting.
The curtains are deep, covered with bedding made of fine silk, and the four bedposts are tied with bright gold hooks. They are obviously not used to hang mosquito nets.
In addition to the big bed, there is a two-meter-long, one-meter-wide couch not far away, covered with soft upholstery.
There are several shelves placed against the wall, with some easy-to-404 items placed on them.
"Old dog Chen is really good at playing. It's an advantage for him to live to such an old age before he dies."
He took a few steps forward and walked to a wooden donkey.
This wooden donkey is about one meter tall, has handles on the front, a backrest on the back, and soft lining on the back. The color is a bit weird in many places.
If you get closer, you can smell a strange smell.
The wooden donkey's feet are not hooves, but curved boards.
With a flick of the hand, the wooden donkey rocked back and forth, its purpose self-evident.
After walking around the wooden donkey, he touched its abdomen with the index finger of his right hand. Ordinary people might not be able to see it, but with the ultimate vision of eagle eye, they could clearly see a hidden crack.
A single tap of the finger.
Boom, boom, boom!
"It's really empty."
After tipping the wooden donkey over, the mystery was quickly discovered.
Press both hands on the left and right sides of the abdomen.
Click.
A wooden board forty centimeters long and thirty centimeters wide popped out.
Pull it out.
A drawer with a depth of forty centimeters was pulled out.
"Old Gou Chen is really cunning enough to hide his secret here."
According to ordinary people's thinking, secrets are usually placed in relatively hidden places in bedrooms and studies. For example, bookshelves, desks, under the bed or behind paintings and calligraphy, or under the floor tiles, etc.
Few people would have imagined that something would be placed in the belly of a wooden donkey used for sexual intercourse.
After all, in this era of conservative thinking, it is easy to think wrong when seeing this thing, and instead relax your vigilance.
If Xu Rui hadn't come from a later generation, been influenced by various teachers, and had the eagle eye skill to see subtle traces, it would probably be difficult to detect it.
But what was inside disappointed him.
Except for a dozen gold bars, there were no talismans, spells, or other rare objects that he hoped for.
"After all, he is also the boss of Xiling, but this is all he got?"
After slapping the money away, everything returned to its original position.
I stood up and took a look, looking through the window and seeing the backyard.
The rockery spring pool, green trees and red flowers are quite elegant.
"Huh?"
Jumped down from the window, followed the path, and quickly climbed up the rockery.
I walked around the top of the mountain and fixed my gaze on a stone the size of a washbasin.
After trying it out by holding it with both hands, twist it hard to the left.
Rumble.
A hole about sixty centimeters in diameter appeared on the top of the rockery, going straight down.
Xu Rui has the eagle eye skill and can see at night, so he can easily see the situation below.
