Chengyang is still surrounded by the Chu army, and the Cai people are holding on hard with the help of the city defense formation. Compared with the vast Chu State, the Cai State is a small country. If this southern Pingfan is lost, the capital will immediately Exposed in front of the Chu army.
Since the defeat in the battle outside the city, the Cai people have held on for more than half a month and repelled the Chu people's three attacks on the city. In just a few days, Zheng's reinforcements will arrive. The Chu people's attack will be considered a failure. Because after the reinforcements from Zheng, Song and Chen will also bring troops to assist in the battle. If the Chu people still do not retreat, the Jin army will be waiting for them.
In the early morning mist, under the roots of an old tree on the inside of the city wall, the soil suddenly loosened. An iron ruler came out and turned around twice. A figure emerged from the ground. It was Wei Fushen.
The iron ruler is called the Xunlong Ruler, which can induce magical formations. There is a mirror on the ruler, which can reflect the outside scenery. It is one of the treasures of Wei Fushen when digging holes.
After coming out, he found that the position of the hole he dug was slightly off, and he dug to the garrison area under the city. This was normal. After all, the tunnel was quite long and took two full days to complete.
He quickly and carefully covered the exit of the cave with soil, trying his best to remove any human traces, then jumped up to the treetops, hid in the dense canopy, and looked at this important town of Cai State.
On the city walls and under the city walls, there were a large number of defense equipment. Cai Jun was dozing everywhere with weapons in his arms, leaning against the wall and sleeping soundly. Some even slept on the ground with their bodies in their arms. Covered with a piece of ragged felt.
This is Chengyang surrounded by heavy troops from the Chu people. Chengyang in the middle of a war. If it weren't for rescuing the Golden Gu witch, Wei Fushen would not take the initiative to jump into this dangerous place of life and death.
Based on his original intention, he actually didn't want to come. No matter what price the Master Dongzhan offered, he didn't intend to come. He is a thief, not a thug. Stealing valuables, exploring secret caves, and touching hair and hair acupoints are his true professions. Doing anything else is not his true profession.
At that time, he rejected Master Dongzhan's proposal without even asking about the benefits he could get.
After being rejected by him, Master Dongsun didn't offer any generous terms, let alone his favorite Fenmai Pill, he just said one thing.
"I have a message for you. Did you know that the academy updated the red list last year? Don't you know? Someone proposed that you, the great thief Wei Fushen, be put on the list. Unfortunately, it was rejected during the meeting of the Grand Council. The person who replaced you on the list was Wu Ren Zhuanzhu. Do you know why it is Zhuanzhu and not you? Because he broke into the academy once and escaped without being caught after entering the fourth peak of Xiandu Mountain."
At that time, Wei Fuchen was silent, and Master Dongsun added: "How can Zhuanzhu's actions compare with yours? Has he done anything important? Anyway, I am ignorant and have never heard of it. But that's it. Once, just once, you broke into the back of the academy without permission, and you were included in the red list, which made all the heroes in the world look at you with suspicion. You, Wei Fushen, are called a thief in vain, why don't you feel ashamed?"
This knife stabbed Wei Fuchen's liver, causing pain and raw pain...
His thoughts returned to the present. After seeing the opportunity, Wei Fuchen flew out of the tree canopy, climbed onto the roof of the inner square, safely escaped from danger, and sneaked into the city.
At this time, the sky was already bright, people in the city were already busy, and the streets and alleys were full of people. Wei Fushen came down from the roof, got into the crowd, and began to look for the target.
Chengyang did not have a separate school building, so the place where Zheng Jianzi imprisoned the great shaman Jin Gu was either Chengyang Tingsi or a military prison camp, so the first place he went to was Tingsi.
Wei Fushen has rich experience. Although he has never been to Chengyang, the location of each temple in the city usually follows the rules, and he quickly found the place.
Hiding in a remote and dark corner, he began to determine the location of the prison in the temple, took out a compass, measured the direction and distance, and drew a plan of the tunnel on the ground.
After calculating for a moment, he quickly climbed up to the roof and lay on the roof to watch. He saw a group of officials running past the street, shouting "catch the thief" and running past.
During the war, the nerves of the soldiers and civilians in the city were extremely tense, and anyone suspicious would be arrested first.
Wei Fuchen had an idea and thought of a clever plan. He didn't give it any more thought. He got off the beam and walked to the front of the temple with a swagger. He tilted his neck and looked in.
The two sergeants on duty at the door shouted: "Who are you? What are you looking at? Get out of here!"
Wei Fushen said: "I am a merchant from out of town. I didn't manage to leave after the siege. Now I have nothing to do. I just want to take a look. I don't know where this is? Can you let me take a stroll?"
Saying that, he rushed in.
The two sergeants could not be punished by him: "This is an important area of the temple. No one is allowed to wander around. Please leave quickly..."
"Huh? You don't have ears?"
"After taking it...how dare you resist?"
"Come here, brothers, lend a hand. There is a thief here who breaks into the temple..."
"We've got it! We've got it! You still dare to struggle? What kind of thief is this?"
"They say they are foreign merchants. Could it be that they are craftsmen? Report to the officials quickly..."
"I'm back... The official ordered me to be thrown into prison first and then try again later!"
"I can't even hold him in the prison..."
"They should be sent directly to the city to kill them to boost the morale of the army."
"There are not many strong men left. It is a waste to kill them. It is only right to recruit soldiers who dare to fight!"
After being taught Wei Fushen's clever plan, he was sent to the palace prison. He saved the effort of drawing maps and digging tunnels, and felt very relieved. Moreover, these sergeants had no knowledge and did not know the ability of Wei Fushen, the great thief. They did not even tie the rope. With just one stick, he was sent in, which was really smooth.
As for being sealed in the sea of qi, that is of course impossible. Most of the monks in the city are on the city wall, just a few ordinary soldiers. How can they seal the sea of qi?
There were two cells in the prison, adjacent to each other on the left and right. As expected, they were both packed with people. Wei Fushen was sent to the cell on the left and immediately began to search for the target.
The Golden Gu Great Witch is in the realm of spiritual witches. Even if he has never seen it before, it is not difficult to identify him. Wei Fuchen looked over one by one. Some prisoners were directly pushed aside by him, while some prisoners were grabbed by his wrists and inspected. There was a sudden uproar. There was chaos in the prison.
A few blind prisoners who wanted to cause trouble for him were instantly knocked unconscious and thrown into the corner.
There was obviously no one on the left. Wei Fuchen grabbed a hole in the prison grate as thick as his arm, got into another room, and did the same thing, but there was still no Golden Gu witch.
There was a big commotion here, and two temple officials came in with sticks to check. Wei Fuchen grabbed them with both hands, grabbed them through the prison bars, and pulled them closer: "Are there any witch cultivators imprisoned here?"
The temple official begged in pain: "My hero, let me go. You always let me go... What kind of witch cultivator? No, really not..."
Wei Fuchen asked again: "Is there a heavy prison cell? Where is it located? Or a water prison?"
The temple official pointed to the end of the prison. There was a corner over there, which was difficult to distinguish in the dark.
Wei Fushen shrunk, slipped out of the gap in the prison bar, carried two temple officials and passed, when he saw that there was indeed a rusty iron gate at the corner.
The temple official was still begging for mercy: "The heavy prison has not been used for many years. It is empty. Where are the prisoners... Please let go..."
Wei Fuchen looked in through the small square hole in the iron door for a moment, and sneered: "You dare to lie to your face, you really don't want to live anymore!"
With the force of his palm spat out, the two temple officials fainted immediately.
