"Don't make a mess, don't make a mess!" The officers and soldiers outside the Eight Immortals Tower could not stop the guests who crowded out. There was a burst of chaos, and everyone was rushing to escape outside.
"Help, help -" Wei Jing was also mixed in the crowd, making a frightened expression, shaking his hands from time to time, making the shining bracelet on his hand jingle.
Suddenly, the sound of the bracelets on his right hand colliding disappeared, leaving only one of the two bracelets. Then, the sound of the bracelets on his left hand colliding also disappeared, and the two bracelets on his left hand were gone.
"Humph." Wei Jing sneered twice, and followed the crowd to squeeze out of the Eight Immortals Tower. He stood in the corner with the owner of the tea shop, pretending to be scared and gasping, but in fact secretly observed every guest who was being questioned by the officers and soldiers, or who was making noises. them.
"Ah! Why is my ring gone?"
"I left my purse in there."
"My wallet is gone too." The guests on the avenue had just come to their senses, and suddenly they started shouting again, saying that their wallets were lost.
Wei Jing and the tea shop owner touched their pockets and looked at each other, half smiling but not smiling. They looked at a tall building diagonally opposite the Eight Immortals Tower. There was a person sitting on the gallery on one side of the tall building and pointed in the direction.
"Northeast." Wei Jing and the tea shop owner turned into the alley and walked quickly in the dark, taking off their disguises as they walked.
"It's so hot!" Wei Jing pulled off his big robe stuffed with heavy cotton, and his whole body was wet with sweat. He whistled, and several monkeys jumped out from the corner of the dark alley. Wei Jing made long and short whistles from time to time. , monkey cries echoed from all around.
"There are three former strongholds of Mr. Beilu in this direction. They are all very secret." The tea shop owner followed Wei Jing, flipping through the small notebook in his hand. He touched his chin and said, "Before this, there were even I don’t know either, only the Sword King knows.”
"My grandpa calls himself the Sword God now, but he's too embarrassed to tell the world, haha." Wei Jing smiled. After a while, the two of them came to a house a few streets away, where an elderly couple lived. Sha Leng was honest and honest, and he was sitting at the table eating, each carrying dishes to each other.
Wei Jing lowered his body, and several monkeys jumped on his shoulders and arms. Wei Jing pointed to the left and right, and pointed to his nose, and the monkeys spread out in all directions, tiptoeing to sniff around the residence.
After a while, the monkeys returned one by one, all shaking their heads.
"My grandfather's information is out of date. These former strongholds have been renovated and turned into people's residences." Wei Jing shook his head. The tea shop owner said: "No. When Bei Lu was alive, he was indeed very... playful. He once lurked He spent days and nights in ordinary houses, observing the daily life of those people, and once dug a secret room under a house as his treasure trove. According to the Sword King, Mrs. Bei was as beautiful as a jade when she was young. Mr. Lu hid under Mrs. Bei's bed for three days and three nights, and then fell in love with her..."
"It turns out there are people weirder than my grandpa in this world!" Wei Jing couldn't laugh or cry, and split up with the tea shop owner to go to the two places recorded in the booklet.
Wei Jing pricked his ears, listening to the occasional monkey cry from afar, and knew that he was getting closer to the underground stronghold of Feixue Villa.
He came to a ruined temple, surrounded by darkness and tranquility. Wei Jing saw that the ruined temple was spacious and did not dare to sneak in easily, so he attracted a few monkeys, one of which was a little monkey several months old. He took out a banana, opened it, ate the banana flesh, gave the banana peel to the little monkey, chirped and said something to the little monkey, and then patted the little monkey's butt.
The little monkey also squeaked a few times in response. He held the banana peel pitifully and licked it while getting into the hole in the wall.
Following several adult monkeys, they quickly climbed up the wall from all sides. Several pairs of eyes stared at the little monkey who entered the yard. The little monkey licked the banana peel and made a squeaking cry.
A black shadow jumped out from the temple. After looking at the little monkey for a while, the little monkey cried louder. The black shadow ran into the temple and brought out more men in black. Then, they took the little monkey away. He was carried into the temple.
The monkey lying on the tree and watching gestured to the monkey a few feet away. The monkey then gestured to the monkey lying on the fence. The monkey on the fence gestured to Wei Jing, who was a street away.
"It is indeed here." Wei Jing nodded and exhaled. He patted the eight hands on his waist and the long sword on his back. The scabbard of the long sword was simple, and it was a narrow rectangular wooden box. There was cloth wrapped around the hilt and scabbard, as if it was rarely used.
He took out the eight hands, grabbed them, and tiptoed towards the ruined temple. He knew how powerful the thieves in Feixue Villa were, so he didn't dare to take them lightly.
Wei Jing kept company with monkeys in the mountains. He spent all day long stalking wild boars, sneaking up on hares, and stealing bird eggs. He was also quite confident in ambushing nocturnal travelers. He arrived in front of the ruined temple without making a sound.
Listening to the cries of the little monkeys inside, he concluded that there was a secret room in the inner hall. He did not dare to push the door for fear of making any noise, so he walked around the small courtyard around the temple. Two monkeys quickly came to take his place in front of him. Exploring the path, there were two monkeys behind him looking around to cover him.
Wei Jing came to a window and saw that there was no light in the window, but there was a slight sound of voices. Wei Jing listened against the wall and found that the voice became clearer as it got closer to the ground. He knew that there was also an underground secret room at the bottom of this ruined temple.
When Wei Jing was thinking hard about how to lure the people out, he heard footsteps coming from outside the courtyard of the ruined temple, as if another group of people were coming in groups.
"Did Fan Jun and the others also find this place?" Wei Jing was startled, and several monkeys hid in the trees.
A total of five people entered the courtyard of the ruined temple. All of them were dressed in civilian clothes, but their eyes showed a refined look. The leading man was tall and had curly hair draped casually on his shoulders. The five people came to the temple gate and stood in front of the temple. After a few light knocks on the door, there was an immediate response from the temple. A hoarse man asked in a deep voice: "Brothers from the Sky Eagle Alliance?"
"Yes." Five people answered together.
"Come in." The man in the temple said.
The five people entered the temple. Wei Jing tiptoed back to the temple door and looked around. There was a faint light coming from the temple. The five people had loud footsteps and were chatting along the way.
Wei Jing took advantage of the noise, opened the temple door a crack, inserted a monkey to explore, and after confirming that no one was in the main hall of the temple, he sneaked in quietly.
Wei Jing came to several rooms outside the inner hall of the temple and saw light coming from the last room at the end of the corridor, which disappeared immediately.
He knew that there was a passage to the underground secret room in that room. The person inside entered the secret room, closed the secret room door, and the light disappeared.
Wei Jing did not dare to follow easily, so he sent a monkey to check each room.
After confirming that no one was there, he came to an unoccupied room. He lay on the ground and put his ears against the stone floor, and then he could clearly hear the voices in the stone room below.
