Shao Xi seemed to be careless and slept until dark. When he felt Lao Wu shaking his shoulders, he opened his eyes and saw darkness in front of him.
He groped in the dark and asked, "Is it midnight? Are we going down the mountain?"
"It's still early to go down the mountain! Old man, my legs are numb from squatting. Look, I need to sleep for a while."
In the dark, Shao Xi didn't know what the expression was on Old Wu's face at this moment. Anyway, he knew that he must be looking unhappy at this moment.
"Damn it, it's fine if you let me watch. You have to give me some time! Otherwise, if you watch the sunrise, wouldn't it be a waste of squatting all night?"
"You are such a smart kid, why do you act like an idiot for a while? We are so close to the main entrance of Taiqing Temple, don't those Taoist priests who watch at night tell you the time?"
Lao Wu's dissatisfied voice came from the darkness.
After opening his eyes, after a period of adaptation, Shao Xi could gradually vaguely see Old Wu's figure, and when he looked in the direction of Taiqing Temple, he could see the shadowy lights in the temple.
"Okay, okay, I got it! You can't snore even if you go to sleep! If you snore, I'll kick you down too."
"You brat, from whom did you learn to retaliate? It's nothing like the village owner."
"Nonsense! You have told me that he is not my biological father, and of course he is not like him."
In the darkness, Lao Wu retorted: "Your own father is not like this either! Sometimes I really wonder whose son you are?"
Shao Xixin said: "Of course I am the son of my alcoholic father. Could it be that I am your son?"
"My biological father is not like this, so what does that mean? Why don't you tell me about it?"
Lao Wu seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then replied, "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here. Don't disturb my sleep."
Then there was no movement, and Shao Xi did not continue to ask questions, but squatted on the tree and stared in the direction of Tai Qingguan.
Lao Wu slept soundlessly, and the surroundings were quiet at this time. He could only hear the "rustling" sound of leaves when they were blown by the wind, and occasionally the "coo" call of an owl.
When Shao Xi heard the clock for the first time, he heard that it was already the beginning of the Haichu period. It turned out that Old Wu had been guarding for him for so long and just wanted to rest for an hour before going down the mountain at midnight.
Squatting among the dense leaves on the tree, Shao Xi looked at Tai Qingguan quietly, feeling more than ten thousand uncomfortable. Before coming here, I had thought that there might be some unpleasantness, but I didn't expect that it would be like this, with people chasing me all over the mountain.
It was a good thing to return the things to others, but it turned out to be better now. The old and young couple made Wulongshan a mess again. This trip always feels like something went against my expectations, but at least I have returned it to someone, and the guilt in my heart will be somewhat alleviated.
This time they are just a group of veterans. If they go to Lingyu Mountain and Yingyue Island in the South China Sea in the future, they will all be women! Isn’t it harder to reason with women? By then I don’t know if I will be chased all over the place again.
Thinking of this, Shao Xi couldn't help but feel a headache. He took away other people's weapons and learned other people's martial arts. It's really not easy to explain to others, but he has to give it back, right? After all, he is not a real thief.
Although it is indeed not authentic to steal other people's martial arts, at least I haven't embarrassed anyone so far, but this is not a reason to explain to others, right? Now that everything has happened, what will we do then?
At this time, Shao Xi felt a little crazy.
Let’s leave the rest for later! Let’s get over this issue first. If we really can’t leave Wulong Mountain, all other thoughts will be in vain.
Shao Xi muttered in his heart and squatted on the tree until midnight. As soon as the midnight sound passed, Shao Xi reached out and shook Old Wu awake. It felt like Lao Wu was sleeping lightly. Shao Xi just shook him gently, and Lao Wu patted his hand to indicate that he was awake.
"Old Wu, how should we go down the mountain?"
"Follow the road down the mountain and go down into the woods. Aren't there people on duty at night? Then there must be lanterns and torches for lighting. We can follow these lights in the woods not far from the road and we can walk all the way down the mountain. .”
Shao Xi asked worriedly: "They are not stupid. They will definitely have people watching the woods on both sides of the road. If we continue walking like this, won't we be discovered by others?"
"They are indeed not stupid, but they don't have enough manpower. How many Taoist priests can there be in Taiqing Temple? But there are three or four roads going down the mountain. It is impossible for them to arrange manpower along the way to send out all the Taoist priests in the temple, so we only need to go all the way If you're a little careful, they won't notice you."
"Well, that's true. Then let's set off! You are more familiar with this place than I have been here last time. You lead the way and I will follow you."
The two of them agreed on the matter of going down the mountain, and when they were about to descend from the tree to the ground, Lao Wu suddenly reached out and gave Shao Xi a hand, but did not speak.
Shao Xi understood that Lao Wu meant not to speak or move. He must have discovered something.
When both of them stopped talking and everything quieted down, Shao Xi vaguely heard the "rustling" sound of someone walking on the grass in the distance and the occasional "crackling" sound of stepping on dead branches. Although The sound was very weak originally, but it was still very clear when listened carefully in the quiet night.
Someone was coming, and judging by the sound of footsteps, it wasn't just one or two people, but many.
Who would appear in the woods near Taiqing Temple in the middle of the night? What are they here for?
Shao Xi and Lao Wu held their breaths and listened quietly as the group of people walked over quietly, and happened to stop under the big poplar tree where they were.
"Fourth and Fifth, let me confirm with you one last time. Are you sure that the little Taoist priest does have the Nine Dragon Holding Pillar on his body? I have spent so much time tonight and I don't want to go to waste."
"Brother, Lao Wu and I can assure you that what the little Taoist priest is wearing is the Nine Dragon Holding Pillar. Not only did we hear his conversation with the drug store owner, we also saw from a distance that the thing he was holding in his hand was the same as the one you had before. It’s exactly the same as what we told you, so it’s absolutely correct, brother, please don’t worry!”
"If we can successfully get the Nine Dragon Holding Pillar this time, fourth and fifth sons, you two will be credited with the first achievement, and I will definitely not treat you badly."
"Hey! Thank you, big brother!"
Shao Xi squatted on the tree and listened, fourth or fifth? Aren't these the two turtle sons? And big brother? Have these five turtle sons gathered together?
He reached out and tapped his fingers five times on the back of Lao Wu's hand, which meant, "The person standing below is the Five Ghosts of Tongshan."
Lao Wu turned around and tapped Shao Xi's hand twice, meaning "I know."
"Second brother, you are the most resourceful. How do you find the Nine Dragon Holding Pillars in such a large Taiqing Temple? Do you have any ideas?"
"Simple, as far as I know, Li Qingxuan is the direct disciple of Sun Bu, the headmaster of Taichang Sect. This person got the Nine Dragon Pillar either with the intention of leaving it for Sun Bu to take after he came out of seclusion, or for him to use for himself. Whether it is Whoever uses it, the Nine Dragon Holding Pillar must be on his body at this time, so we don’t have to spend a lot of time searching everywhere in Taiqing Temple, we only need to find the resting place of Taiqing Temple disciples."
"But how do we find the resting place for the disciples of Taiqing Temple? Besides, there are many disciples of Taiqing Temple, so there must be many disciples in the resting place. How should we start?"
"The third child has excellent eyesight, so after a while, the fourth and fifth boys, I and I will go to Taiqing Temple to set fire to an important house of his. In this way, all the Taoist priests in the temple will rush here to put out the fire. At this time, let the third brother find a high place to observe the movements of the disciples in the temple. Then we will know where the disciples are resting. Then the eldest brother will go and seize the nine dragon holding pillars. After the three of us rush back to meet the third brother, we will Go and pick up big brother."
"Okay, it's indeed a good plan! Just do what the second brother said. Third brother, after you observe the position in a while, come back here and let me know. After I leave, you stay here and wait to meet your second brother, fourth brother, and second brother. The five of us will meet together, and after we meet, we will take them with us to pick me up. After we succeed, the five of us brothers will leave Wulong Mountain together."
"I understand, eldest brother! Leave this matter to the third brother! I will not disappoint eldest brother."
Shao Xi and Lao Wu squatted on the tree and listened clearly. They thought to themselves that the Five Ghosts of Tongshan were quite courageous. They actually dared to break into Taichang Sect at night and set fire to the Sect for the sake of the Nine Dragon Holding Pillar? It seems that this Nine Dragon Holding Pillar is indeed something extraordinary.
I'm worried that I can't find a way to make peace with Taichang Jiaohua. Isn't this why someone comes to give me a pillow when I want to sleep? If he could successfully prevent these people from robbing the Nine Dragon Pillars, maybe Taichang Jiao would forget about his past affairs.
Thinking of this, Shao Xi gently grabbed the back of Lao Wu's hand, and then wrote a character on the back of his hand, which meant "take someone."
Old Wu understood, and tapped the back of Shao Xi's hand twice, meaning "I understand."
Shao Xi's plan at this time is to take advantage of the situation.
After the third of the Tongshan Five Ghosts informed the boss of the news, the boss would definitely leave. He and Lao Hu hurriedly subdued the third before the other three came back, and Lao Hu kidnapped him, while he followed the boss to destroy him. Seize the Kowloon Holding Pillar.
In this way, when the other three return here, they will not be able to find the third child, and they will not be able to respond to the boss, thus avoiding the unfavorable situation of having fewer enemies than more.
At this time, Lao Wu also understood that Shao Xi had a plan in mind, so he did not intend to act rashly. He only wanted to see how Shao Xi would act next, and he only needed to cooperate with his actions.
In this way, both groups of people above and below the tree formulated their own action plans.
"Second child, third child, I'm waiting for news from you here, you should take action now!"
"yes, Sir."
Several people responded at the same time, then dispersed, ran in different directions, and disappeared into the vast night.
Liu Duo, the boss of the Tongshan Five Ghosts, was leaning on the big poplar tree where Shao Xi and the others were hiding, waiting for the fire in Taiqing Temple and the news of the third child.
But he didn't know that there were two people above him who were waiting for the news as well as him.
