Fire and theft prevention

In the middle of the night, the main palace of the city was brightly lit.

The iron door opened and closed silently, and the two men, one black and one white, got out of the dungeon, like a pair of black and white impermanence who were looking for their lives.

Huo Wei took off his robe and threw it casually, and the robe covered Mu Qingjia's head like an umbrella.

"What are you doing?" Mu Qingjia poked her head out from under her loose robe.

"You are too conspicuous, put it on." Huo Wei said without looking at him, "Concealment cannot be invisible, and white living things are easy to be found at night."

"What about you?" Mu Qingjia just asked, and realized it was a stupid question.

Huo Wei glanced at him strangely: "I have a black underwear—you shouldn't think I'm going to be naked."

"..."

Mu Qingjia imagined how his junior brother would run around in the night with his shirt off, and couldn't help laughing.Under Huo Wei's stare, he put on his black robe obediently, and rubbed against the neckline unconsciously.

Huo Wei lightly jumped onto the eaves of the wall, and ran towards the front left with a clear goal.He ran two steps, saw that Mu Qingjia hadn't moved, turned his head and said, "Why, wait for me to carry you up?"

If it was before tonight, Mu Qingjia would have taken this remark as a joke at most, but after that dream, he felt that this remark was a bit intimidating.

He even scolded himself for being unscrupulous, sneered twice, and asked, "How do you know where to go?"

"Nonsense." Huo Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "If a mortal obtains a magic weapon such as the Underworld Butterfly Sword, he will definitely guard the collection strictly. And what we want to find is not what he painstakingly hid? I can feel it again. The location of the Butterfly Sword, so—"

A nasty smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "If you touch my sword, you will have to pay the corresponding price."

After Mu Qingjia thought about it, it was indeed the case, and the city lord's possessions would most likely be hidden in the same place.No wonder the junior brother who is so addicted to swords will abandon the sword at will and let others pick it up.

"My junior brother is smart." He praised with a smile.

"Cough." Huo Wei quickly turned his head and urged in a deep voice, "It will be dawn if you delay."

As soon as the voice fell, the watchman's long watchman's sound came from outside the palace: "Second watch at Haishi, close doors and windows, prevent theft and theft—"

The moon and stars are sparse, and there are still three or four full hours before dawn.

Huo Wei's face turned dark instantly, and he disappeared after two ups and downs.

Mu Qingjia laughed softly, and followed his shadow to the eaves of the wall, feeling that most of the messy thoughts had been dissipated, and there was a sense of clarity.

There is only one thing that he has some doubts: since his junior brother can sense the Nether Butterfly Sword, why hasn't he felt even a little bit of sense of his natal spirit sword "Tianyi Sword" since he was reborn?

He sadly thought that what Master said was true, he was indeed ashamed to be a sword cultivator.However, that sadness was just a blunt grind in my heart, and it disappeared without pain.

The two of them flew above the huge city lord's palace, their bodies were as light as nothing, and when they landed and borrowed their strength, the sound was very soft, like feathers falling.After a few breaths, Huo Wei landed in the back garden of the main hall of the main palace.

As they got closer, Mu Qingjia also developed a certain intuition, and said firmly: "It's right here."

He looked around and saw that the courtyard was brightly lit and guarded by heavily guarded soldiers, but there was no one in the courtyard, only two puppets with knives and axes hovering by the wall.

The towering palace walls obscured the moonlight, and the flowers and trees in the garden were lurking in the darkness, staring at each other.

"It's right at the bottom of our feet, and there's another entrance." Huo Wei looked at Mu Qingjia meaningfully, "Straight up and down is the fastest."

Then, he raised his wrist.

"It's up to you." Mu Qingjia untied and released the bracelet again, and said, "However, what if the city lord is inside?"

"Then get rid of harm for the people by the way." Huo Wei said casually, "Evil people die one by one, and if the clues are broken, they can be continued."

After saying that, a golden flame ignited on his right arm, and he repeated the same trick, the flowers, trees, earth and stones repeated the same mistakes, opening a deep hole that was [-] to [-] feet deep.The park was as quiet as before, except for a slight increase in heat, there was no significant change.

Probably, the city lord would never have imagined that someone would bypass the trap-heavy entrance and choose the most difficult, but also the simplest and crudest method—directly locate and open a skylight for the secret room.

Before the residual temperature dissipated, Huo Wei jumped into the ground along the hole.Mu Qingjia drew a talisman out of thin air after entering, and the flowers and plants around the entrance of the cave grew rapidly, covering the gap.

That piece of ordinary flowers and plants must not be able to bear the weight of an adult, Mu Qingjia thought that no one should stumble and fall, otherwise they would be too unlucky.

On the ground floor is a secret study room, complete with bookshelves, multi-treasure pavilions, desks, pens, inks, papers and inkstones. The densely packed mother-of-pearl wooden cabinets are tightly closed from the bottom of the feet to the roof.

On the south side of the room, there is a bronze door that leads to nowhere. The whole room is tidy and clean, with only a slight trace of a person's existence left.

Huo Wei's gaze stayed on a long and narrow ebony box placed in the Duobao Pavilion, and then slowly pulled away from his sight and fell to it.

That box contained the Underworld Butterfly Sword.

He didn't touch it, the city lord is very cautious, touching it casually is likely to startle the snake.

On the other side, Mu Qingjia had already squatted down and began to carefully observe the pattern of mother-of-pearl inlaid on the wooden cabinet.

Mother-of-pearl ware is usually carved from clams into plum blossoms and autumn leaves, and it is decorated on lacquer ware because of its multicolored luster on the reverse side.However, the mother-of-pearl here is carved into a detailed and complicated rune formation and embedded in the wooden cabinet.

"Are there any runes?" he asked.

"Yes." Huo Wei said, "Incessantly."

Mu Qingjia's spiritual eyes can barely discern the unevenness, but the fly in the ointment is that he can only see the outline, and there is nothing he can do about such fine and delicate lines.

He pondered for a moment, and pointed out the nine tricks one by one, without raising his head, he said, "Draw it for me—just use the method I used to write in the air before."

"Aura can't stay in the air for too long." Huo Wei thought about it, "The scale of this rune is so huge that it's hard to remember everything."

"I still have this bit of memory." Mu Qingjia raised her head and said mockingly, "I think it's all because of this brain that I can't forget when I peeked at Master's porn."

Huo Wei stopped talking, and a line of golden rubbings gradually appeared above the runes.

The lines are complex, uneven in depth, uneven in thickness, ordinary people will feel dizzy if they look at it for a few more times, but Mu Qingjia's expression is as relaxed as reading a storybook.

When he was concentrating on it, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and there was always a smile unconsciously on the corner of his lips, which was a natural smile.

The smile seemed to be absent, calm and focused, and gave people a gentle feeling. The curvature of the corners of the lips rose and fell mischievously with the ups and downs of the mood, which was agile and natural.

Every time he finished reading a key point printed by Huo Weituo, his smile grew wider because he had gained something.Laughing is not intentional, while watching is intentional, Huo Wei's fingertips moved slightly slowly, creating an illusion that he was laughing for himself.

Mu Qingjia's observation also slowed down, and he urged with a smile: "Passive sabotage is a spanking."

Huo Wei remembered something for some reason, the corners of his brows twitched, and then rubbed.

After the rubbing is drawn, it gradually dims, and after five breaths, it disappears completely.

"The table case, bookshelf, Duobao Pavilion, wooden cabinet, and the wall at the entrance are all connected together to form a lock, a nine-layer lock. If someone breaks it violently, it will self-explode and blow up everything inside."

Mu Qingjia smiled and said, "Fortunately, this person didn't extend the lock to the roof, otherwise the moment we entered just now, the entire secret room would be wiped out."

He was in high spirits, and if he opened his eyes, he must be in high spirits.

Then, he said with regret: "This city lord's talisman realm is so high, if he didn't kill people, it would be a good thing to make friends with."

"It's good that you understand." Huo Wei said ruthlessly.

Mu Qing Jiaxing put his head on his head and smiled at his junior brother without defense.

"Junior brother, I want to remove the nine-fold lock." He said cheerfully, "If it succeeds, we can get what we want without disturbing him. If it fails, we will blow it up to the sky together. How about it?"

Huo Wei hooked his lips: "Going to heaven and traveling to immortality is also a wonderful thing."

"Then I'd rather be obedient than respectful." Mu Qingjia was gearing up.

Solving the array method requires reverse derivation thinking. The unlocker is like standing on the top of trillions of branches, looking for a direction, and based on this, chooses the correct branch from countless possibilities, and continues to deduce and trace the source until the root of the tree is found. .

It is difficult to make a lock, but it is several times more difficult to unlock.Because to make a lock, you only need to understand yourself, but to unlock it, you need to figure out the psychology of others, so as to get the direction of unlocking.

Compared with the previous puppet technique, the lock here is another style, complete and cautious, Mu Qingjia intuited that this was the handiwork of the city lord.

Time passed bit by bit in silence, and the depths of the night were restless.

Half an hour later, Huo Wei, who was sitting quietly, suddenly moved his ears and opened his eyes.

pat.pat.

In the silence, there are footsteps coming from far and near.

He glanced at Mu Qingjia who was studying without distraction, got up, walked slowly to the entrance of the secret room in the south, and listened attentively to the sound of footsteps.

pat.

The person's last step fell, and there was only a wall between them.

Huo Wei's muscles hidden under his inner shirt tensed, ready to go.If the door is opened, he will immediately subdue the intruder with his physical strength.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the city lord's palace, the sound of people running and footsteps, and the sound of being beaten and crying for pain came faintly.

The people outside the door paused for a while, hesitated for a while, and finally chose to turn around and leave.

As the footsteps gradually faded away, Huo Wei relaxed and looked at Mu Qingjia.I don't know what commotion happened in the city lord's palace. They escaped for the time being, but there is not much time left for them.

The chaotic voice was getting louder and louder, but Mu Qingjia turned a deaf ear to it.He was full of energy and blood, and his thoughts were like tight strings, which were buzzing tremblingly due to the collision of various information and knowledge in his mind.

Among the many noises, a deep and thick male voice was particularly obvious.

"Go away, everyone go away." The man's voice was still drunk, "Why grab me? Hiccup, let me go!"

Huo Wei's eyebrows gathered together.

At this moment, Mu Qingjia's voice suddenly came from behind: "I've figured it out! Junior brother, come quickly!" He gestured as he greeted, "The first level is to break the sky, and the second level is to increase the three places and go to the fifth level." place, to break and gather, three..."

Huo Wei changed the runes one by one according to his request. When it came to the end, Mu Qingjia took a deep breath and said, "Wait, I can't guarantee that it is absolutely correct, at least prepare..."

Huo Wei opened the top drawer with quick hands, and Mu Qingjia's heart almost jumped out of his throat.

The explosion didn't happen, he succeeded.

The first drawer was filled with bundles of letters in piles, Huo Wei threw them to Mu Qingjia, and rummaged through the second drawer.The second cup was full of small artifacts that had been confiscated, including Huo Wei and Mu Qingjia's storage spirit jade.

With Mu Qingjia stunned, Huo Wei stuffed all the furnishings in the secret room, including desks, bookcases and other utensils, into the safety buckle, and then put the Lingyu around Mu Qingjia's neck.

The once tidy and full secret room became empty, only the little spider on the wall of the bookcase trembled on its web, bewildered to see the light again.

"It's a bandit..." Mu Qingjia praised, "Well done."

The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and the pursuers rushed into the backyard, shouting and killing.

"Go!" Huo Weiyi pulled Mu Qingjia's hand, and wanted to jump towards the entrance of the cave.

He shrank his pupils suddenly, protected him with his arms, and took two steps back.

At the same time, a heavy object stepped on the flowers and plants covering the entrance of the hole, stepped on the air, and fell down with a bang.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and before Mu Qingjia could react, a wooden box suddenly came out from the safety button on his chest.The long and narrow wooden box passed through the air, burning rapidly from the inside to the outside, and when it fell into Huo Wei's hands, it had already turned into the Underworld Butterfly Sword.

"Ahem..." The man who stumbled and fell said with a disheveled face, "Ordinary people are too scary, why are they digging holes everywhere? It's fine if I fall, what if a cat, a dog, a child falls and falls, what should I do? ?”

The person who stepped into the air, coincidentally, was Bu Chen.

Mu Qingjia only felt that his luck and conscience were hit hard at the same time. He knew that in the current situation, avoiding this person was the best way.

However, when the smoke and dust fall, Bu Chen is bound to recognize Huo Wei, and they cannot avoid it.

Isn't this person drunk in Tianhai Yise Pavilion?How did you come here?

Before Mu Qingjia could think deeply, he felt an arm embrace him.Huo Wei stabbed upwards casually, and the Underworld Butterfly Sword poked a fire hole in the roof of the secret room, and the two of them jumped out and swept into the night.

"Huo Wei?"

While drunk, Bu Chen immediately recognized Huo Wei's fire aura. He swayed two steps, stretched out his palm and pressed it, and the huge rock above his head exploded into fine sand, which scattered in all directions.

"Huo Weixiu go -!" He shouted with his tongue out.

Since then, the city lord has spent a lot of painstaking efforts to claim that the indestructible secret room was pierced through three holes by two late-incarnation monks in the first battle.

The outside is riddled with holes, and the inside is looted.In the night, he felt the Underworld Butterfly Sword breaking free, his face was ferocious ashen.

The author has something to say:

OOC Small Theater:

Mu Qingjia: I'm so unlucky.

City Lord without a name: You look at me and say it again.

Mu Qingjia (cupping hands): I am willing to bow down.
