Tian Xiaoding has been thinking about the Tianyang Pearl, the sect's treasure, for a long time. Ever since he learned that the Tianyang Pearl was in his sect last year, he has been coveting it all the time.
If the head of the Tianyang Sect and the elders knew that their outer disciples were thinking about stealing the sect's treasure, the Tianyang Pearl, I wonder what they would think.
Tian Xiaoding wouldn’t pay attention to that anyway. He came to Tianyang Sect largely because he was deceived by Mr. He agreed to join the Tianyang Sect only because other sects with star ratings refused to accept him.
Therefore, although he joined the Tianyang Sect, he didn't have much affection for the sect. Since the sect had the treasures he needed, he didn't care, just steal them!
The last word is that you are strong!
Therefore, that night, Xiao Ding did not enter the Qiankun Pot. For dinner, he caught a hare at the foot of Tingfeng Cliff and roasted it for dinner. At the foot of Tingfeng Cliff, there was relatively little wind, so it was barely possible to light a fire and barbecue.
After dinner, he climbed to the top of the cliff and got into the cave. While doing exercises to resist the cold wind, he waited for the night to get darker.
To go to Shouyang Peak to steal the Tianyang Pearl, you must wait until midnight.
However, it was really cold to hear the strong wind at the top of Tingfeng Cliff.
Listening to the wind on Tingfeng Cliff at night is not a pleasant experience!
It was hard to get through to the middle of the night. Xiao Ding then stood up, moved his numb limbs slightly, and then took out the ghost mask.
It is extremely dangerous to go to the sect to steal the treasure of the sect. If someone in the sect recognizes you, you may be executed as a traitor regardless of whether you succeed in stealing. .
It just so happened that I had just unlocked the ghost mask, a magic weapon that could change people's appearance. Naturally, I wanted to try it out first to see the effect.
After putting the ghost mask on his face, he immediately used his consciousness to control the ghost mask and transformed his face into that of an old man. At the same time, his stature was relatively burly and could easily attract others' attention, so he shrunk his stature a bit and became a skinny old man only about seven feet tall.
Xiao Ding stroked the white beard on his chin and said to himself: "I'm going to make a big fuss about your Tianyang Sect tonight, hahaha!"
The voice is old and low, and this ghost mask is really magical!
However, the clothes Xiao Ding was wearing did not change at all. As his figure became smaller, part of his robe was already dragging on the ground.
Xiao Ding felt that if he wanted to be completely disguised, he would have to go to the sect and steal a suit of clothes that fit him.
So he immediately used his invisibility technique and ran towards the foot of Tingfeng Cliff.
Tingfeng Cliff is located on the back mountain of Kuiyang Peak, and all the inner and outer disciples of Kuiyang Peak live on the front mountain.
If Xiao Ding wants to steal clothes, he has to go to the residential area in Qianshan.
However, he was not familiar with the terrain here at Kuiyang Peak. The people who live in Kuiyang Peak, in addition to the first Tiankui Zhenren, there are also more than 20 inner disciples under him, most of whom are higher in cultivation than him, so Xiao Ding does not dare to mess around at will. Breaking in, for fear of being discovered.
However, he felt that the leader of Kuiyang Peak and the inner disciples should live in the center of the building complex just like Kaiyang Peak, while most of the outer areas should be occupied by the outer disciples. District.
Therefore, he quietly sneaked towards the houses in the outermost circle.
The cultivation level of the outer disciples was generally not high, so Xiao Ding approached cautiously, not too worried about being discovered by them.
After waiting in front of the outermost row of rooms, Xiao Ding discovered that the doors and windows of these houses were all closed. If he wanted to steal their clothes, he had to enter their rooms.
There are people sleeping in every room. If you enter the room and accidentally make a noise and wake up the sleeping people inside, wouldn't it be very troublesome?
Xiao Ding opened his consciousness and looked into the rooms in this row of houses, looking for the target. Soon, he discovered that among the four people sleeping in the room on the far right, there was one whose figure was almost the same as his figure after the disguise.
That’s it, let’s choose this room!
After determining the target, Xiao Ding stood outside the door of this room and used his spiritual consciousness to explore for a long time. Seeing that the four people inside were sleeping deeply, he planned to open the door and enter the room to steal clothes.
It was the end of March in spring, and the weather was still relatively cold at night. Therefore, the doors and windows of these dormitories were tightly closed at night.
There is a bolt stuck in the inside of the door, and there is not even a crack in the door. If you want to use a dagger to remove the bolt, you will definitely not be able to do it.
But Xiao Ding immediately thought of the object-repelling technique he had just learned recently. He has just started to master the art of dispelling objects. Although he cannot yet dislodge objects for attack or defense, he can also control objects to move slowly through the air.
So he calmly began to use the object-repelling technique to pull the door bolt.
As expected, the trick of using the object-repelling technique to stand across the door and slowly remove the door latch really worked.
It didn't take long for Xiao Ding to gently pull open the door bolt of that room through the door.
Then he gently opened the door, stepped in, and closed the door gently.
There were four beds in the house, with four people sleeping on them. They were snoring loudly, and they had no idea that anyone had entered the house at this time.
Xiao Ding glanced at the pile of clothes piled randomly on the floor of the house, and couldn't tell which one belonged to the person he wanted.
Simply, Xiao Ding still used the object-repelling technique and moved all the pile of clothes on the ground in front of him. Then with a thought, he put the pile of clothes into the space of his jade pendant.
With the goal achieved, Xiao Ding turned around and went out, closed the door, and then used the light body technique to escape.
After staying away from the Kuiyang Peak residential area, he found a place with leeward to reveal himself, took off his already very long robe, then took out the pile of clothes he had just stolen, and searched for a long time inside. , finally found a robe that was similar to his body shape after the disguise, put it on, and finally put away all other clothes.
After changing clothes, Xiao Ding walked around in a circle, feeling very satisfied. He stroked the white beard on his chin and thought to himself, it depends on tonight whether he can steal the Tianyang Pearl.
He felt that even if he saw this appearance, he might not be able to recognize him.
After packing up, he immediately used the Light Body Technique and flew towards Shouyang Peak.
The Tianyang Pearl is placed in the Immortal Treasure Pagoda of the Zongmen Ancestral Hall on the mountain behind Shouyang Peak. When Xiaoding goes from Kuiyang Peak to the back mountain of Shouyang Peak, he also needs to go around the front mountain of Shouyang Peak.
On the front mountain of Shouyang Peak, there are more disciples of the inner sect, and the leader Tianshu Zhenren also lives on the front mountain. Xiao Ding did not dare to be careless, so he still used his invisibility technique and walked around the buildings on the front mountain from a distance away.
He didn't dare to move too fast. After all, the leader was already in the late stage of Jindan, and his spiritual consciousness could completely cover the entire front mountain of Shouyang Peak. If he made some noise and was discovered by the leader, that would be very bad.
At the same time, Xiao Ding was also praying secretly: At this time, Master Tianshu did not activate his spiritual consciousness to explore the area of Qianshan. Otherwise, even if he does not make any noise and hides his figure, he still cannot escape the detection of Master Tianshu's spiritual consciousness.
With extreme caution, Xiao Ding slowly circled the front mountain area of Shouyang Peak. Before going to the back mountain, he paused for a while on the roadside, thinking that if his actions just now were discovered by Master Tianshu or the inner disciples of Shouyang Peak, they would follow him here at this moment.
Seeing that everything was quiet behind him and in the Qianshan residential area, with nothing unusual, Xiao Ding felt relieved.
He felt that he was quite lucky, and perhaps his whereabouts had not been discovered, so he boldly ran towards the back mountain quickly.
The ancestral hall of the sect is built relatively far away. After all, this is where the souls of the ancestors of the sect are enshrined. It should be quiet and undisturbed.
After arriving outside the ancestral hall courtyard, Xiao Ding directly used the light body technique to jump into the wall.
The courtyard was pitch dark, with only one room still lit.
Xiao Ding slowly walked along the wall towards the brightly lit house and quietly turned around.
Before he reached the vicinity of the house, Xiao Ding's consciousness had already explored it, and the feedback came back that there were two people in the house who had not yet fallen asleep and were sitting at a table eating supper.
Xiao Ding had met these two people during the sect's martial arts competition. They were inner disciples of the sect leader Tianshu Zhenren, and both had achieved great perfection in Qi training.
Beside the table where the two of them were eating, there was also a jade plaque and a bunch of keys.
Xiao Ding knew that the jade token was used to open the outer barrier of the Immortal Pagoda, and that a large set of keys was used to open the big locks on the doors of each floor of the Immortal Pagoda.
And if Xiao Ding wants to enter the Immortal Treasure Tower tonight and steal the Tianyang Pearl, he must first get these two things.
Obviously, the two people eating late night snacks are the ones guarding the sect's ancestral hall tonight.
Xiao Ding was a little confused. He clearly remembered that when he was arranged by the sect to come to the Immortal Pagoda to practice with the Tianyang Pearl, the person guarding the ancestral hall was obviously a man named Chen Dazhong. Why was he changed?
Facing the two people who were practicing Qi and Dzogchen cultivation, Xiao Ding stopped. He did not dare to get closer. He could only open his ears and listen carefully to the movements in the room, and then use his spiritual consciousness to monitor the two people to see if he would have a chance to steal the jade medal and the bunch of keys on the table.
You know, with the cultivation of the two people in the room, they would easily find themselves if they only need to turn on their spiritual consciousness and look outside.
Therefore, Xiao Ding just squatted in the corner of the yard wall from a distance. If he was discovered by someone in the house, he could jump out of the wall and escape in time.
Xiao Ding didn't dare to act rashly, but the two people in the room were feasting. Neither of them drank, but the meal was sumptuous.
Xiao Ding heard one of them say: "Senior Brother Yi, it's a pity that such a good meal doesn't come with wine!"
Another person said: "Junior Brother Jing, there are only a few days left in this month, we'd better be careful. Let's drink wine after we change shifts. After this month, we can drink as much as we want. .”
The man called Junior Brother Jing said angrily: "Brother Yi, who would come to such a remote place like the ancestral hall? Besides, there is a barrier protecting the Immortal Pagoda outside. Who can open it? ? The sect arranges personnel to come over every month to guard it, don’t you think it’s unnecessary!”
Senior Brother Yi ate his food, shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Jing, you must not be careless. You must know that the Tianyang Pearl, the treasure of our sect, is in the Immortal Pagoda. There is a saying It's not like, 'Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst case', the sect arranges for our Shouyang Peak disciples to take turns on duty every month, just to prevent the worst."
When Xiao Ding, who was squatting in the corner, heard this, he realized that the disciples on duty here were rotated every month. No wonder the Chen Dazhong from before was not here.
Seeing the two people in the room chatting while eating, they didn't know when they would be able to finish the supper. Xiao Ding felt very anxious and angry.
Relying on force to grab someone head-on would definitely not work. The opponent's cultivation level is higher than yours, so you definitely can't beat them. But if they don't grab it forcefully, the two of them will eat there endlessly, and I won't have the chance to steal the jade token and the key. What should I do?
Just when Xiao Ding felt restless, he suddenly heard Senior Brother Yi shouting in the room: "Who is outside?"
Xiao Ding was so frightened by this sound that he almost flew out of his wits.
How dare he continue to squat in the corner? Directly use the light body technique to jump out of the wall and run away...
