Taking advantage of the darkness, the elegant Chen Mou wore a cloak and walked into the "Linglong Pavilion" shop in Fangshi in a mysterious manner. He selected and spent one hundred and fifty spiritual stones to buy a precious spiritual bamboo root carving with a copywriting.
It is naturally elegant and interesting, and has a good meaning.
He left a name note and told the shopkeeper to send it to the house of Hou Longyuan, the manager of Lingtian in Fangshi, tomorrow morning to congratulate the manager on his birthday. He would come back to the shop to check the signature.
When giving small and original gifts to rich people, you have to be willing to spend a lot of money to get the essence of the gift.
When the shopkeeper saw the guests, he covered his face with a cloak. Apparently he didn't want to be seen, but he asked the steward for help, throwing stones with heavy gifts to ask for directions.
Naturally, he agreed wholeheartedly. Linglong Pavilion was famous for its luxury and expensiveness. He often gave gifts to guests and was familiar with the business.
Chen Mou walked out of the shop, went down the mountain and passed through a forest, disappearing into the darkness of the night.
I once heard Mo Fu say once that every year when Hou Longyuan celebrates his birthday, he will let people know about it in advance and set up a few tables in Xiankeju to entertain relatives, friends and colleagues in the city.
Those who rent more than 20 acres of spiritual land in the city must come and give a decent birthday gift, and the concierge will register their name in order to obtain some kind of care from the steward of the spiritual field. The mud-legged people can only give gifts, of course.
Not qualified to eat at Steward Hou's banquet.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, because of a major case, Manager Hou was in a bad mood and was not in the mood to celebrate his birthday with wine.
This year's limelight has passed, but Hou Guanshi, who is used to eating good things, has returned to his old ways.
Chen Mou used the name of Mr. Zhuang, who had a good relationship with Mo Fu, to give a gift that Hou Longyuan could put on the table. Now that he encountered a ready opportunity, he took advantage of it and tried to kill the old man.
thief.
Maybe we can seek justice for Mo Fu.
On the night of the second day, Chen Mou, dressed in black attire and a cloak, sat cross-legged on a futon in a cave in another world. Through the mark he left on Gendiao Qinggong, he used his spiritual consciousness to carefully spy on the movements within the seven or eight feet nearby.
The soul has been greatly improved several times, and the detection range of his consciousness has reached ten feet away.
He was very patient and stayed there for almost a whole day, watching with his own eyes as the gifts he gave were sent by the concierge to the second courtyard of the Hou Mansion. They were then selected by the maids and maids and sent to the desk of Manager Hou's study.
Expensive and exquisite gifts are displayed in a dazzling array.
Through the conversation with the maid, I learned that Mr. Hou would come to the study in the evening to check the gift list and take a look at the selected gifts.
Whether he keeps it for himself to enjoy, or gives it away, or puts it in the warehouse for storage, Mr. Hou must do it himself and not let the maid do it for him.
The door of the room, which had been silent for a long time, opened, and a maid walked in first, holding a lamp, followed by Steward Hou, who was fat, rich, and rosy-faced. He looked like he had drunk a lot. He was supported by a pretty maid with a low eyebrow and was in the case.
Take a seat on the carved chair beside the table.
A man in gray clothes walked in with him. He had a strong appearance and suddenly turned his head and glanced at the desk.
Chen Mou, who was watching with his spiritual consciousness through Gu Yu from a world away, quietly withdrew his spiritual consciousness and sat cross-legged motionless.
He guessed that the man in gray had a foundation-building level cultivation, and his perception was very keen. He was a master, and he was noticed by the other party as soon as he touched it.
"Qian'an, what's wrong?"
Steward Hou looked at the man in gray who was looking around carefully.
"It seemed like someone was spying on me just now. It just happened for a moment. Master, how about you stay away first?"
The man in gray clothes said through the message that in just a short moment, he had scanned the study up and down several times, checking all the green plants and potted plants in the corners, and his eyes were fixed on the only bookcase under the ancient bookshelf opposite that could hide people.
After Hou Longyuan's Yungong dissipated the smell of alcohol from his body, he sneered: "You can do whatever you want, but I want to see who is this brave guy who dares to hide and do evil?"
Having said that, he shook his left hand and took out a talisman and held it in his hand, just in case something unexpected happened.
The two maids each made small movements and stood sideways to guard Mr. Hou's back.
The man in gray clothes said no more, and walked towards the bookcase step by step. Under the gaze of the other three people in the room, he used his magic power to open the cabinet door.
Except for some boxes, books, and scrolls, everything was visible inside, and there was no thief hidden inside.
"Sir, I suspect that there are outsiders sneaking into the house."
The man in gray didn't look relaxed and said solemnly.
The feelings I had at that moment were definitely being spied on by someone using their spiritual consciousness.
He judged that the other party's cultivation level was not too high and had not reached the foundation building level. The servants and maids in the Hou Mansion all knew the rules and did not dare to use their spiritual senses indiscriminately. Since there were no thieves hiding in the study, it was hard to tell in other places nearby.
.
Today is Mr. Hou’s ninety-eighth birthday. There are people coming and going in the house. Maybe there are thieves?
"Open the study protection."
Hou Longyuan turned his head and gave instructions to the maid in purple dress and skirt on the left.
The maid in the skirt bent down and said "yes", took out a small disc from her sleeve, and manipulated it a few times. The entire study was shrouded in a silent and separate formation to protect it from outside exploration.
"Qian'an, you go out and gather people to check it out. Don't let go of the rockery caves in the front yard and the dark places in the garden behind the yard. Ziyan, you go and have a look, and use formations to separate the inspected yards.
, whoever dares to run around will be severely punished. That idiot Hou Gui is guarding the gate of the house, and he drank too much horse urine, and his tricks are useless. When you find the thief, give him a few whips to make him reflect."
Hou Longyuan was annoyed and made arrangements, and waved his hand.
The man in gray clothes and the maid in a skirt agreed to open the door and go out, then gently closed the door tightly.
Being suddenly distracted, Hou Longyuan couldn't bring himself to appreciate the gift. He closed his eyes slightly, leaned back on the chair, and listened to another maid in a pink skirt in the room reading the gift list.
After taking some time to read out two different gift lists, the maid turned and walked to the desk to get the selected gifts on the table.
A figure appeared behind the pink-skirted maid. Before the maid could react, his fist was like a hammer and hit the side of the woman's neck. "Boom", the maid who had no practical experience in the middle stage of Qi refining rolled her eyes and hit the desk.
, then he fell to the ground softly and fainted.
Hou Longyuan opened his eyes suddenly, facing the sudden cold light sword, with a ghostly expression on his face. Fear had already taken over his mind, and his whole body was stiff. He instinctively wanted to move his fingers to take out the talisman from his sleeve to protect himself, but he also wanted to move aside.
He dodges danger but can't keep up with his movements.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His mind was almost blank. He seemed not to believe that there was someone else hiding in the study that the Foundation Establishment Guards had checked, let alone that someone had sneaked into the courtyard to assassinate him.
He watched helplessly as lightning struck him in the chest with a sword.
"Poof", the dark red sword easily penetrated Steward Hou, who had changed into regular clothes. Chen Mou's face hidden under the cloak showed no trace of relaxation or expression.
He deduced a scenario in which he had to fight Guanshi Hou several times, but it did not appear. Although his opponent was in the Qi Refining Realm, and had been pampered for many years, his foundation had been drained by drinking and sex, and he was vulnerable to a surprise attack.
With a few waves of his left hand, he took all the more than ten gifts on the desk to the cave in another world, including the two gift lists, and impaled the seriously injured and dying Steward Hou on the sword together with the carved seat under his buttocks.
He reached the top of the Heavenly Monument Peak, but before leaving, he waved his left hand and released two unusual flames towards the bookshelf on the opposite side of the room.
He has become more and more proficient in destroying all forms and traces.
"Bang", the flames exploded, and bookshelves, bookshelves, books, scrolls and other items burned instantly.
The man in gray clothes who was leading people to check up and down the courtyard of the Hou Mansion suddenly turned his head, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "No, the master is under attack!"
When he rushed into the second courtyard, looking at the smoke from the fire rising from the study, he felt chilled in his heart.
Is there something wrong with him somewhere?
The study had a protective formation activated, why did the thief break in?
"Zi Yan, hurry up, open the study formation and save the master."
He didn't have a formation device that could enter or exit the study room, so he turned around and shouted.
When the frightened maid, whose face turned pale, hurriedly opened the formation, everyone rushed in. Except for rescuing the fainting maid in pink skirt, only fierce flames and thick smoke were left in the room.
Where is the shadow of Master Hou still there?
There was a bit of blood left on the ground, which was shocking and indicated that something bad had happened.
