After finally getting rid of the plaster behind him, Wu Sheng felt extremely relaxed and left without hesitation.
Inexplicably entangled with a female thief for a long time, Wu Sheng felt a little bit at a disadvantage. Wu Sheng quickly shook off this ominous thought and headed to the agreed meeting point - the lotus pond behind the hotel.
Guanyi is actually a small hill in the city, about seven or eight feet high, with a circle of more than half a mile. The area is not small, and it is surrounded by high walls from bottom to top.
There are dozens of acres of ponds next to the hill. The wall is the embankment, and the embankment is the wall. The pond is covered with Thousand-petaled Lotus, which is half a person's height, and King Lotus, which is as big as a basin. Wu Sheng got off the pond, lifted his spirits, sat on a large king lotus, and slid towards the center of the pond.
At some point, the night rain started to fall. The rain was not very strong, completely covering up Wu Sheng's movements. Arriving at the center, the umbrella-like lotus leaves blocked the drizzle. Wu Sheng waited quietly under the lotus leaves.
The father-in-law of the Hoe Lotus and the Peach Blossom Girl arrived one after another. Like Wu Sheng, they used the King Lotus as a boat and rowed over.
The hoeing father-in-law carefully selected the lotus pods around him and picked a few of the best ones and put them into his bag. His face was full of joy: "Okay, okay, okay!"
The peach blossom girl picked a lotus pod at random, curled up on the king lotus, peeled the lotus seeds while lying down, and put them in her mouth. She ate two seeds, frowned and spit them out, and changed to a thousand-petal lotus, peeling them off layer by layer.
Wu Sheng vaccinated the two people who arrived first: "There is a lot of excitement in the city tonight... Pengcheng guards are searching the market... there are still many experts."
The peach blossom girl said oh and continued to peel off the lotus petals.
Seeing that she and her father-in-law didn't seem to care, Wu Sheng asked, "Aren't you worried?"
Peach Blossom Girl said: "There is Boss Shi. Anyway, just listen to him."
"Have you so much confidence in Boss Shi?"
"Well... do you know the battle of Qi State's attack on Lu twelve years ago? The Qi army attacked six cities and reached Changshao. The Changshao is the key to the north of Qufu. If the Changshao is lost, the country will not be protected. The Changshao guard will Afraid of the Qi army, he led his troops to flee. At that time, Shi LaoDa was appointed as the city gate leader and led 800 people to defend Changshao for ten days. He struggled to hold on until reinforcements from various places arrived. The north gate he personally guarded was as solid as a rock. People call it Shimen..."
"So, this is not Boss Shi's real name?"
"Anyway, we call him Shimen."
Shimen stepped on a beauty lotus and came so quietly. Wu Sheng looked at him and suddenly felt a little admired. What he admired was not the cultivation he showed, but his story.
Shimen's cultivation level was indeed higher than that of the four, but as a monk in the realm of refining gods, Wu Sheng had met countless people before, and he himself was once a great assassin at the peak of refining gods. The key point is that a monk in the God Refining Realm with 800 remaining soldiers was able to hold back the Qi army at the height of the sun for ten days. Wu Sheng could not imagine how he did it.
Based on this, he suddenly had some confidence in Shimen.
After Shimen arrived, he didn't say much and took the lead to approach Guanyi. When he came to the wall of Guanyi, he plunged into the water. The hoe's father-in-law followed him into the water, while the Peach Blossom Girl frowned, hesitated for a moment with her lips pouted, and then jumped in while holding her nose.
Wu Sheng had no choice but to follow behind, hold his breath, and dive into the water. He saw a narrow underwater channel on the shore.
Shi Men got in first, followed by his father-in-law, Taohua Niang, and finally Wu Sheng. This waterway is quite long. You can swim along it for seventeen or eighty feet before reaching the end.
Shi Men pointed upward, signaling upwards, and the four people emerged from the water one after another, already in the deep well.
The mouth of the well was locked, and it was a rainy night. It was pitch black down there. If you were not a practitioner, you would probably be blind.
Shi Men jumped out of the water and floated directly under the manhole cover. He scratched the wall of the well and listened for a long time. He heard no more movement, only the subtle ticking sound of raindrops falling on the manhole cover. He then made a gesture and asked Wu Sheng and others to come up.
Wu Sheng was unable to jump several feet high from the water, so he obediently swam up along the wall of the well like a gecko. The fact that he was "injured" was already known to everyone, and no one doubted it. Peach Blossom Lady once speculated that Wu Sheng must have hid in Langshan to avoid revenge.
Wu Sheng went up to the manhole cover, and his father-in-law took out the hoe stick. The hoe stick instantly stretched, just enough to support the well wall, forming a beam.
Wu Sheng sat on the beam again.
Shi Men pointed at the manhole cover and whispered: "Unlock." As he said that, he grabbed a large door latch and stared at the manhole cover solemnly. A god-refining monk like him can incorporate his favorite magic weapon into the sea of qi and nourish it with his spiritual consciousness, which is his natal magic weapon. This is a skill that monks in the Qi Refining Realm are envious of. Back then, Wu Shengwen used to raise his natal magic weapon, the Jasper Long Sword. Unfortunately, it was seized by others, and he sheds tears just talking about it.
Seeing that he was so solemn, the hoe's father-in-law tightened his hoe stick, while the peach blossom girl took out the peach blossoms, spit out the true essence, and opened the peach blossoms into an umbrella.
Not surprisingly, it turned out to be "unlocking". Looking at the responses of Shi Men and the other three, it was clear that the manhole cover was not a simple "iron lock", but must have contained a powerful counterattack.
Wu Sheng held his breath and put the manhole cover into the Tai Chi ball for visualization. If there was any sign that something was wrong, he would be ready to jump into the well and leave the rest to the other three - this was agreed upon in advance.
The spiritual power in the manhole cover is sucked into the Tai Chi ball. As the Tai Chi ball rotates, it is transformed from the yin and yang fish into grains of spiritual sand and merges into the small island of Qi Sea.
Shi Men and the other three people were leaning against the wall of the well, watching the manhole cover and Wu Sheng under the manhole cover with great vigilance, just in case of any unexpected events.
In a place of right and wrong, Wu Sheng no longer held back and went all out. After more than half an hour, the last grain of spiritual sand was transformed. He took a long breath and called it a day!
This manhole cover is indeed a magic weapon, and it is a very good magic weapon. Wu Sheng judged it to be an upper-level magic weapon of middle grade. It transformed a lot of spiritual sand, more than 600 grains.
Wu Sheng got off the beam, slid down a short distance, and gave up his position. Shimen raised the stone bolt and signaled to the hoeer. The hoeer raised his hoe stick and slowly stretched it towards the manhole cover.
Time seemed to have stopped, with four pairs of eyes staring at the hoe stick. The hoe stick paused slightly under the manhole cover, and then poked upward...
The expected counterattack by the magical weapon did not happen, the alarm bell did not sound, and the manhole cover fell like crumbs. The peach blossom lady turned the peach blossom umbrella, and a strong wind blew out, sweeping all the powder into the umbrella.
The three of them curiously came over to look at the scraps in the umbrella. Shi Men and Hoe-Zhang nodded, and Taohua Niang threw the scraps down the well and gave Wu Sheng a smile.
It was still the hoe's father-in-law who took the lead and climbed out of the well. After a moment, he turned back and gestured to the well, and everyone filed out.
Guanyi is built according to the hill. It is located on the mountainside in the northeast corner of the hill. There are bamboo pavilions, strange flowers and rocks. Looking down, you can see half of the dark Pengcheng and the high hanging tower on the tower in the distance. lantern.
In the streets and alleys of the city, strings of sparse bright lights could still be seen swimming back and forth. Shimen finally couldn't help but smile and said softly: "The guards have been mobilized, and the post is empty."
The father-in-law said: "Pengcheng is also strange. It built the post high up in the city..."
Shimen said: "Pengcheng is in control of Huaisi and Qi, Chu, Song and other great powers. They asked for the post to be set up at a high place. They wanted to monitor Pengcheng. How dare Xu Jun disobey?"
