Tian Xiaoding went to steal the Tianyang Pearl, the sect's treasure, and finally managed to sneak into the ancestral hall of Shouyang Peak, but was discovered. He was so frightened that he climbed over the wall and ran away.
If you don't run now, what are you waiting for? Are you still waiting to be caught?
He used the Light Body Technique and ran wildly until he was far away. When he saw that no one was chasing him, he stopped.
Flying with a sword is prohibited within the sect, so no one followed, which meant that the two guards were not chasing him.
Fortunately, we are in the back mountain, not close to the front mountain. Even if there is some movement, it is not easy to be noticed by people in the front mountain.
Seeing that no one was chasing him, Xiao Ding became curious and planned to go back to see what happened.
So, he opened his spiritual consciousness, explored the direction of the ancestral hall, and walked back slowly.
It wasn't until he was approaching the ancestral hall that he noticed the two people in his consciousness and saw that they were patrolling around the ancestral hall.
Xiaoding opened his ears and heard the two people talking:
"Senior Brother Yi, did you make a mistake just now? No one seems to have been in the courtyard?"
"It's not wrong. My consciousness detected that an old man was squatting at the base of the wall just now. After I discovered him, he jumped over the wall and ran away."
"Senior Brother Yi, since you can confirm that someone has been here, why don't we chase him?"
"Junior Brother Jing, we don't know how many people they have come. If the two of us go after them, we may fall into the opponent's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
"I see, Senior Brother Yi, did you recognize who that person was just now? Is he from our sect?"
"I didn't recognize him. He was an old man. I have never seen this man before. He should not be from our sect. In our sect, all the older people are elders. There is no one who is too old among the disciples. .I don’t know how that person got into our sect.”
"It's surprising that outsiders can enter our sect..."
"..."
Xiao Ding had no intention of continuing to listen to the discussion between the two people. He knew that the two people were already alert and that he would have no chance tonight, so he turned around and walked towards the front mountain.
Still cautiously detouring from the edge of the residential area in the front mountain of Shouyang Peak, back to Kuiyang Peak, and after arriving at Tingfeng Cliff in the back mountain of Kuiyang Peak, it was already past the fourth watch.
I worked in vain for most of the night, worried and frightened, but came back in vain.
Xiao Ding took off the ghost mask, returned to his original appearance, and then put on the clothes he wore before. Get into the cave on the top of the cliff and prepare to catch up on your sleep.
But it was too cold in the cave. Sitting on the rocks would feel freezing, so how could I sleep?
Xiao Ding had no choice but to find some big rocks on the cliff at night and block the entrance of the cave. Then he took out a few quilts from the jade pendant space and used a quilt to block the gaps between the big rocks at the entrance of the cave. Then spread two layers on the ground in the cave and cover yourself with one layer.
In this way, he felt a little warmer and could sleep without having to use energy to resist the cold.
After only a short nap, it was already dawn.
During the day, he still stayed at the top of Tingfeng Cliff to practice. When you are hungry, you go hunting under the cliff and light a fire to barbecue.
Tingfeng Cliff stands on the back mountain of Kuiyang Peak. Only one side is a slope, and the other three sides are cliffs. The valley below the cliffs is shrouded in clouds and mist and is bottomless.
Since he failed to steal the Tianyang Pearl last night, Xiao Ding stayed at the top of Tingfeng Cliff for the next few days, not daring to act rashly.
It was not until four or five days later, at the beginning of April, that Xiao Ding's mind began to become active again.
He heard clearly at the ancestral hall that night. The disciples guarding the ancestral hall took turns every month. By April, the person guarding the ancestral hall will definitely be someone else.
Xiao Ding prayed in his heart that this month he must not be replaced by two people practicing Qi and Dzogchen.
Just as Xiao Ding was planning to visit the sect's ancestral hall one night. Li Tianliang, Deng Feng, and Shan Tong came to Tingfengya to visit Xiaoding again.
The three of them still brought wine and food. This time they didn't eat in advance before coming, they just stayed.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
I was full of stomach and planned to come over and eat and drink with Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding was not polite to the three of them. He let the three of them into the cave on the top of the cliff and started eating and drinking with them.
Although he himself was not hungry these days, the food he ate was only enough to satisfy his hunger, and it was not a delicacy. Therefore, when he ate the food brought by Li Tianliang and the others, he felt it was particularly delicious.
The four of them chatted while eating and drinking. Xiao Ding didn't have much to talk about. His days in Tingfengya were like being in seclusion. Apart from practicing martial arts every day, there was nothing else to do.
Most of the time, he was listening to Li Tianliang and the others talking about recent events in the sect.
"Boss, you don't know. Just a few days ago, a thief broke into the dormitory of Kuiyang Peak's outer disciples. You said this thief was strange. He didn't steal money or magic weapons, but he took all the clothes in that dormitory. Stolen. Hahaha..."
"Yes, boss, when we heard about this, we laughed so much that our stomachs hurt. Do you think this thief is short of clothes? Then it would be great if he stole some money to buy new ones himself. Why should he wear someone else's clothes? There are old clothes.”
"Senior Brother Tian, I am also curious. Why does this thief steal clothes? You must say that this thief is from our sect. Everyone's sect clothes are uniformly distributed by the sect. Everyone We have them all, so why steal from others?”
After hearing what the three of them said, Xiao Ding had a dark look on his face and thought to himself, the thief you are talking about stealing clothes is not me. It seems that this matter has already started, and I wonder if it will be traced to myself. I don’t know if the two disciples reported the stranger to the ancestral hall that night. If they had reported it, the sect might have strengthened its defense.
When he thought of this, Xiao Ding frowned.
Li Tianliang and the other three had been having fun there for a long time. When they saw Xiao Ding, he didn't say anything. He frowned and wondered what he was thinking, so he asked curiously: "Brother Tian, what are you thinking about? Do you think that thief is funny?" ?Hahaha……"
Xiao Ding quickly raised his head, forced a smile, and said: "It's funny, it's funny. I can't guess why the thief wanted to steal the clothes."
Then, he asked tentatively: "Have you heard anything unusual at the sect's ancestral hall recently?"
Li Tianliang shook his head and replied: "Zongmen Ancestral Hall? I haven't heard of this. We only heard that the senior sister Cheng Yaomai went to Luoyang Peak to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill again, but we didn't hear the news that she exploded the furnace again. Could it be that Did she succeed in practicing?"
"Senior sister went to refine the foundation building pill again?" Xiao Ding asked curiously.
"Yes, when we were in the cafeteria in the morning, we heard someone talking about this matter. We don't know how well she is practicing." Deng Feng replied from the side.
Xiao Ding knew that although Master Sister Cheng Yaowen had learned some alchemy techniques from Master Tianquan of Luoyang Peak, because she had a water-attributed Tiangen, she was born with poor control over fire, and the furnace would explode almost every time she made alchemy.
It's been a long time since her cultivation reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training, but she couldn't build the foundation because she didn't have the foundation-building pill. She had obtained the materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill several times before, but they were all destroyed by her. This time, I don’t know if she can successfully refine them.
Although he still doesn’t know the result of Senior Sister’s refining, Xiao Ding guesses that given Senior Sister’s insensitivity to heat, she can even boil porridge, and this time it is estimated that 99% of it will not work. It will work.
The four of them chatted for a while. After finishing the food and wine, Li Tianliang and the others bid farewell to Xiao Ding and went down the mountain.
Xiao Ding only sent the three of them down the hillside, but they didn't send them far. After all, they are three big men, so there is no need for Xiao Ding to send them too far.
After sending the three people away, Xiao Ding returned to the top of the cliff and began to think about stealing the Tianyang Pearl again.
It has been four or five days since the last time I went to the ancestral hall. I wonder who is guarding the ancestral hall this month and whether there is a chance to steal the jade plaque that opens the enchantment and the bunch of door keys.
The key is whether you can enter the Immortal Pagoda and steal the jade token and key.
Therefore, Xiao Ding decided to try his luck again tonight.
From day to night, and from dusk to midnight.
Once people have something in their mind, they will feel that time passes very slowly.
After Xiao Ding made the decision, even if he practiced during the day, he could not
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Dharma was attentive.
After finally staying up until midnight, he took out the ghost mask again. This time, he disguised himself as a middle-aged uncle, with stubble all over his face. His figure was still shrunk to about seven feet, slightly thinner, and continued to change. Put on the clothes you stole last time.
Then, he cast his invisibility and lightness skills and flew down the cliff.
When passing by the front mountain of Kuiyang Peak and the front mountain of Shouyang Peak, he carefully walked around the outermost edge of the building complex and walked quietly, fearing that he would make any movement and disturb the first Tiankui master of Kuiyang Peak. Or Master Tianshu from Shouyang Peak. They are all at the Golden Core stage and have strong spiritual consciousness. It must be very easy to cover the area of the front mountain.
Xiao Ding's bet was that they were all sleeping in the middle of the night, or practicing, without turning on their spiritual consciousness to look around.
Facts have proved that Xiao Ding’s bet was not wrong. Who would have nothing to do in the middle of the night and use their spiritual consciousness to explore around? Master Tianshu and Master Tiankui did not do this, nor did other inner disciples with high cultivation level.
Although Xiao Ding was a little worried, he still successfully passed the front mountain of Kuiyang Peak and the front mountain area of Shouyang Peak.
After walking on the road to the back mountain of Shouyang Peak, Xiao Ding felt a little relieved.
He had walked this road back and forth twice before, so he was quite familiar with it.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he quietly approached the ancestral hall of the sect, climbed over the wall, and jumped into the courtyard.
His eyes were once again drawn to the brightly lit room.
That room was obviously the room where the people who guarded the ancestral hall lived.
Xiao Ding still leaned against the wall and slowly walked around the room, approaching slowly. At the same time, he turned on his consciousness and explored in that direction.
When he reached the range covered by his consciousness, Xiao Ding was shocked again.
This time, there were more than just two people in this room.
Moreover, except for one unfamiliar face, Xiao Ding knew all the people in this room.
It turns out that the people arranged by Shouyang Peak to guard the ancestral hall this month are Qin Taibao, one of the disciples of Master Tianshu, and another inner disciple of Shouyang Peak whom Xiao Ding does not know.
In addition to Qin Taibao, there were four other people in the room, who were Qin Taibao's four followers. The four of them are all inner disciples of Kaiyang Peak, and they actually came here to join in the fun tonight.
At this time, the six people in the room were playing cards.
The cards they played were not the mahjong tiles on earth. It's a card game in the world of cultivation.
This kind of playing cards are made of bamboo slices, with different words engraved on them. The content is the level of cultivation. The smallest one is the first level of Qi training, and there are the second level of Qi training, the third level of Qi training...etc. And so on, and so on, all the way to the highest perfection, Dzogchen. There are ninety cards in total, and each major realm has ten cards, which are the ten small levels of each realm. Arrange the card sizes according to the level of realm. The Great Perfection card has the largest card size and can control all other cards. The Qi training level has the smallest card size and has the right to play the card first. Whoever catches it can play this card first. Card.
When Xiao Ding's consciousness scanned them, these six people were having a great time.
The jade tablet that opens the enchantment and the key that opens the doors on each floor of the Immortal Pagoda that Xiao Ding longs for are placed on the table next to Qin Taibao.
Xiaoding squatted at the base of the wall, turned on his ears and consciousness, and paid attention to the six people in the room for a long time, but he didn't see any of the six people leaving.
Apparently, they were planning to play cards all night long!
Xiao Ding felt that he had wasted his time again tonight.
Although he has now reached the fifth level of Qi training and has caught up with Qin Taibao and Qin Taibao's two followers, his purpose is to steal the Tianyang Pearl, not to fight with them. Naturally, it was impossible to make too much noise, otherwise if it alerted the people in the front mountain, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
This time, no one in the house noticed Xiao Ding peeping outside, but Xiao Ding waited until almost the fourth watch, and the people in the house were still enjoying playing.
Xiao Ding knew that there would be no chance tonight, so he had no choice but to jump out of the wall angrily and return to Tingfeng Cliff.
