In Wanbaotang, there are six or seven rooms on each side, the lobby is located in the center, and there is a row of small rooms in the backyard.
The doors of the houses on both sides were closed and unlocked. Among the row of huts in the backyard, one room was locked.
The central lobby is the core. Although the guard is relatively lax, it cannot be ignored.
Shaoan decided to search the lobby first and then enter the backyard hut.
Shaoan stayed on the roof of Wanbaotang, observing the patrols. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he sneaked near the lobby.
Enter the hall carefully through the window.
Wanbao Hall is indeed a place to make money. The carved windows and door pillars are all made of fine wood.
Shaoan lit the fire and the light shone in the lobby.
A carnelian fortune tree, jade inlaid with this precious stone, and various famous calligraphy and paintings decorate the room. There is also a desk near the base of the wall.
There is actually a desk in the main entrance of the hall for people like Heijiu. The arty pretentiousness makes people a bit dumbfounded.
No Zhanqing Sword was seen in the house. Shaoan carefully inspected every item, looking for possible secret rooms.
After searching a lot, I found nothing but priceless ornaments.
Shaoan set off for the backyard hut.
The thin figure squatted down on the roof. Shaoan, wearing night clothes, almost blended into the night, leaving only the dim outline of his body.
The patrolling guards walked back and forth in Wanbao Hall. If they were not careful, they would be alerted.
Shaoan gently uncovered the tiles on the roof, took off the rope from his waist, tied one end to the big tree outside the house, and put the other end inside the house.
Enter from the roof and choose to slide down the rope to minimize the sound of landing.
The size of the room is not as spacious as the lobby, but there are more things than the lobby. At first glance, there is no trace of Zhan Qingjian.
Various objects put together are the best cover for the secret room's opening mechanism. The secret room was not found in the lobby, and the cabin was locked again.
The Zhan Qing Sword will most likely be in this room, and the secret room is a safe place to store important things.
Shaoan moved lightly, holding the fire in one hand, and constantly touching the things in the room with the other hand, searching for the mechanism controls.
Shaoan fumbled and turned a blue and white porcelain vase.
"Whoosh!"
The wooden shelf leaning against the wall suddenly split into two halves in the middle, and gradually opened, revealing a door.
The secret room suddenly appeared in front of Shaoan.
A variety of powerful mechanisms that can cause death are usually installed in secret rooms to prevent the loss of valuables in the secret room.
Shaoan carefully walked into the secret room and lit the candles on the wall of the secret room.
The whole secret room lit up.
A landscape painting hangs in the center. This painting is so majestic and huge that it covers half of the wall.
Apart from this painting, the secret room is empty.
Shaoan approached the painting and found the hanging rope hanging from the scroll. Pulling the rope, the painting gradually rolled up.
The square depression behind the painting is gradually revealed.
There is a sword stand carved with dragons placed in the recess. On the sword stand is a green and black sword, inlaid with three red gems. The scabbard is hollow and carved with weeping plum blossoms, which looks eerie and extraordinary.
This is the world-famous sword Zhanqingjian.
There are few martial arts practitioners who can't help but feel possessive when they see this sword! A greedy person like Black Dove will not let it go easily even if he takes risks.
Although the Zhan Qing Sword is the best among swords, there is still a gap between it and Chang Shisan's Mo Yang Sword.
The Zhanqing Sword is extremely sharp, can break hair with a blow, and has a thick blade. The Mo Yang Sword's blade is softer toward the front. The first half resists power attacks, and the second half can swim like a snake. To achieve this effect,
The craftsmanship of sword making can be seen clearly.
The characteristics of the Moyang Sword are consistent with Chang Shisan's Tianyunshan School's unique skills. There is hardness in the softness, hardness and softness. It can overcome hardness with softness, and can also control softness with hardness. Hardness and softness are combined, and it can be flexible.
Shaoan was overjoyed that the lost Zhanqing Sword was finally seen again.
Shaoan walked quickly towards the exit of the secret room, wanting to quickly send a signal to the people outside.
"Crack!"
A piece of floor beneath my feet suddenly made a sound.
Shaoan was alert and immediately realized that the mechanism had been turned on.
When I walked into the secret room, I was lucky enough not to step on this trigger control. I was not so lucky when I left.
"Squeak...squeak..."
There were cracks in the floor beneath his feet.
"Whoosh"
A dozen flying arrows shot out of the crack!
Arrows shot out in all directions of the house at great speed!
Shaoan struggled to balance his body, stepping on the shaking floor to avoid the attacks of flying arrows.
At this moment, the whole room was filled with gray-white smoke.
The pungent smoke was inhaled into Shaoan's nose. Shaoan's eyes suddenly became dazed and his vision was dim.
This thick smoke, no, it should be poisonous mist that gradually blurs people's consciousness.
When entering the secret room, the shelves that were divided into two suddenly came together.
The door out is about to close!
The poisonous mist is getting thicker and thicker, almost suffocating people.
Shaoan took out the dagger he carried with him and cut his arm severely.
Blood dripped down his arms and onto the shaking floor.
The poisonous mist in the secret room is called "phantom smoke". It can instantly interfere with people's consciousness.
The only thing that can temporarily weaken the smoke response is pain.
Shaoan used the pain from the wound to stimulate his nerves and tried to stay awake for a moment.
The door to the secret room clicked and closed completely!
Shaoan used up his last strength to avoid the flying arrows, leaped to the recessed area in the wall, and picked up the Zhanqing sword.
Pull out your sword, gather all your energy, and strike hard at the shelf door!
"Crack!"
The Zhanqing sword is extremely sharp. Wherever the sword energy touches, the wooden door will shatter!
Shaoan dragged his heavy body and finally escaped from the secret room.
At this time, Shaoan was in a daze and his whole body was weak.
The patrolling guards of Wanbaotang heard the movement inside the house and kept approaching here.
Shaoan couldn't support his body enough to leave Wanbaotang. He definitely couldn't deal with these people.
Signal fireworks!
At this time, Shaoan could only set off signal fireworks and ask for help from people outside!
"Whoosh!"
The signal fireworks shot up into the sky and formed a small auspicious cloud-like shape in the sky.
People from Wanbaotang rushed to the house and found a man wearing night clothes lying unconscious outside the window of the house. The ground was covered with drops of blood.
And next to this man is Brother Black Dove's treasure, the Zhanqing Sword.
…
Chang Shisan arrived at the fireworks signal and ordered Feng Yu to lead people into Wanbao Hall from the south gate.
"Stop, what are you doing?" the south gate guard shouted loudly. He pulled out his knife and blocked the door.
Feng Yu mobilized his inner strength and overturned the guard with one palm.
"Tianyun Mountain sent us here, get out of the way quickly!" Feng Yu finished speaking and rushed into Wanbao Hall with thirty people.
It was originally agreed that Shaoan would meet at the south gate at this time and inform the specific location of the Zhanqing Sword. Feng Yu led people to search it out.
At this moment, Feng Yu had entered the south gate, but Shaoan was nowhere to be seen.
The signal fireworks were sent out, indicating that Shaoan had succeeded. But Shaoan did not show up, so there must be a problem.
Feng Yu wanted to find out what was going on immediately. In addition, the Tianyun Mountain Sect had entered Black Jiu's territory, and disputes were inevitable.
At this point, Feng Yu chose to meet Heijiu directly.
…
When Black Jiu learned that the Tianyun Mountain Sect had arrived, he immediately woke up the people from Wanbao Hall and gathered in the lobby.
Feng Yu led people into the central lobby of Wanbao Hall.
Black Dove naturally knows the intention of the Tianyun Mountain Sect here. The Tianyun Mountain Sect and the Black Dove forces are confronting each other and are at war with each other. The atmosphere in the lobby is solemn.
Chang Shisan did not come in with Feng Yu. It was not an extremely important occasion. As the leader of the Tianyun Mountain Sect, there was no need to do everything personally.
Facing a local force like Black Jiu, it would be most appropriate for the Nanning City Branch to step in to solve the problem. Chang Shisan's step to step forward would be a bit of a bully.
In the world of martial arts, it is important to compete with people of the same status and status. Seniors bullying juniors, more people bullying younger people, are not in line with the consistent moral principles of the world.
Chang Shisan had no choice but to wait outside Wanbaotang for Feng Yu and others to finish their work.
It was originally a plan to capture thieves and stolen goods, but unexpectedly, Shaoan was already in deep danger, but Thirteen had no idea...
