Chapter 142: Stealing chicken but losing rice
In front of the villa treasure house.
Fighting has broken out.
Meng Hengyun obviously had a bad temper, and the reputation of the Thieves' Sect was really bad. Such a low-class sect dared to provoke him, which made Meng Hengyun furious. He swung his sword and attacked without mercy.
Xiao Yi fought and retreated, and successfully led the people away. Zhao Wumian and Jingjing'er crossed the battlefield and reached the door.
The doors of the treasury were tightly locked. There were three black iron gates, each one foot and seven inches thick. The locks were also specially made by the famous craftsmen of the Tang Sect.
Zhao Wumian knew it was the [Seven-Point Chain Lock] at first sight. Fortunately, Jingjing'er was also an expert in lock picking and had learned the true skills from the Saint of Thieves.
He took out a leather bag from behind his waist. When he opened it, there were twenty-four keys of different sizes and shapes inside.
Jingjing'er skillfully took out two of the keys and inserted them into the lock. She put her head against the door, listened attentively to the noises inside, and coordinated the efforts.
With a click, the door opened.
The locks in this world are not the kind of props that can be opened with just a poke in movies and TV shows. The internal lock spring structure is very high-tech.
Zhao Wumian could see that this smart guy was quite capable.
Jingjing was also very proud, but this was only the first step. After opening the door, he pounced on the second step.
Several disciples guarding the gate tried to stop them, but Zhao Wumian kicked them away with two or three kicks.
"Second Master! Someone unlocked the door!"
When Meng Hengyun heard this, he turned around hurriedly and his face turned pale.
These damn petty thieves have changed their profession to become robbers, openly breaking into houses and picking locks!
If it weren't for the two young masters Meng Yunchuan and Meng Yunzhou, as well as the three true disciples who were at the top of the list who had been away for a long time, and if they hadn't sent more than a dozen disciples out to look for them in recent days, resulting in insufficient defense of the villa, there would be no chance for these little thieves to come and cause trouble. He wanted to go back to defend, but Xiao Yi's body turned into lightning and he began his extremely swift assassination technique.
The founder of the thief lineage can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, the king of thieves, Dao Zhi.
Until today, most of Daozhi's unique skills, except for his footwork, have been lost, with only one-tenth or one-twelfth remaining.
Even so, he still has extraordinary fighting power. Xiao Yi is like a flash of lightning, holding the wheel blade, attacking the vital points all over his body!
The wind blows hard and lightning flashes.
I can only see its shadow, not its shape.
Meng Hengyun was not paying attention for a moment and a blood mark appeared on his face. He was furious, but also a little frightened, and fought with all his strength.
Zhao Wumian and Jingjing'er seized the opportunity, broke open the second and third gates, and rushed into the villa's treasury. What they saw was a dazzling golden color.
——Five large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry are sparkling!
Jingjing'er had never seen so much money before. Her breathing became rapid, a strange blush appeared on her face, her fingertips began to tremble, and she reached out to take it.
"slow."
Zhao Wumian reminded, "Look carefully before you take action." After saying that, he ignored him, looked around, and began to look for the sword manual.
Jing Jing'er originally thought that he had bad intentions and was going back on his word, but Zhao Wumian didn't try to snatch it away, and he was very natural from beginning to end, so he didn't get angry either - this saved his life. After looking and smelling carefully, Jing Jing'er's face changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "These gold and silver are all smeared with [epilepsy poison]?!"
Zhao Wumian walked in on his own, ignoring the gold, silver and jewels all over the floor.
He looked at the pills and secret books on the bookshelf in front of him on the left, and said, "It should just be applied on the surface. The smell is not very strong. Either find an antidote first, or be careful when you are pretending, and remember to launder the money after you go out."
Jingjing was frightened for a moment. The name of the poison was just as it sounded. After being poisoned, the true energy in the brain became disordered and made the person fall into a state of madness, dancing madly until death from exhaustion.
Jing Jing'er hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you Mr. Hua..." She was wondering how he knew that.
Zhao Wumian nodded: "Find what you want first, you can get the money anytime."
"Yes……"
Jingjinger wiped the sweat from his head and first looked for the treasure chest that contained the "Lingxi Treasure Book".
Zhao Wumian used the "Observe Words and Expressions" skill to scan the bookshelf and soon found a parchment roll and a book in a rosewood box. There was also a layer of bone-dissolving powder on the surface of the box that could corrode flesh and blood.
Zhao Wumian thought that he was quite careful. If he had touched it carelessly, not only would his skin be torn apart, but the corpse poison would also quickly invade his body, and his death would be even more miserable than touching gold and silver treasures!
He took out a pair of gloves and put them on, then carefully put the box into his Qiankun bag, intending to deal with it after he went out. At this moment, Jingjing'er also saw the Qianji treasure chest that he had been thinking about. When he reached out to take it, his foot fell and hit a floor tile, which instantly triggered the mechanism. There were eight loud clangs, and eight ten-thousand-jin dragon-breaking stones fell from the sky, sealing off all directions!
The candlelight flickered.
Suddenly, only a faint candlelight remained in the secret room.
"Hahaha……"
Meng Hengyun's laughter could be heard from afar, with mockery and disdain: "With just this little ability, you still want to break into the villa's treasury and steal treasures? You are courting death!"
Jingjing'er was young and inexperienced after all. When she realized she had been trapped, she broke out in a cold sweat. She even forgot to retract her outstretched foot and her whole body froze in place.
Zhao Wumian looked calm as usual. He put the box away and looked at another shelf. On it were some palm-sized bottles, all of which were carved from ten-thousand-year-old black ice. There were talismans on the surface, and inside them were sealed the essence and blood taken from the strange beasts.
This is also the main business of Wanshou Villa.
Exotic beasts are not raised for nothing, their essence and blood can be sold for a lot of money.
If the White Lotus Sect really took over the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, these essences and blood would definitely be their main target, and they could create a group of elite disciples.
Zhao Wumian was not polite at all. He took half first, and then took two and a half boxes of gold and silver from the ground, always implementing the equal division agreement.
"..."
Jingjing'er was stunned. They were already trapped in a jar, but this man was still looting and strolling around the garden.
"you……"
"I thought you were a repeat offender, but now it seems that except for your lock-picking skills, you are a novice in everything else. The mechanism has been triggered, so why are you still standing there?"
Zhao Wumian strode towards the main gate, placed one palm on the dragon-breaking stone, and began to gather his energy and palm strength.
The material of Dragon-Breaking Stone is extremely hard and cannot be broken through by ordinary earth-escaping techniques.
Only those with the [Five Elements Escape Technique] above Meng Ji can penetrate it, and it is even more difficult to break it with bare hands. Therefore, it is the main building material for secret rooms and underground palaces. The heavier and thicker it is, the more indestructible it is!
But it’s not completely unbreakable.
At least the "Heavenly Dragon Transformation Art" can do it. At the beginning, Chang Yuchun directly used the "Heavenly Dragon Transformation Art" to knock Zhao Wumian out of the Dragon-Breaking Stone and broke his Mengji Escape Technique.
Because of the unique nature of the palm power of "Splitting Waves Palm", it can be used with some force.
This is also the reason why Zhao Wumian noticed something but did nothing.
The Guan family's palm technique is used in conjunction with the umbrella-strike technique of wind and cloud. It is agile and changeable, capable of splitting waves and cutting through the sea, and has infinite power.
Among them is a move called [Driving Waves in the Ocean], which uses the principle of water dripping through a stone, combined with the water-based internal force of the Wind Rising and Clouds Rising Technique. It can continuously stack and explode force with a single palm. The stronger the physique, the more force is stacked, and the more powerful the explosion will be!
However, this type of moves takes too long to charge up and has poor practicality, but can barely be used to break out of a trapped formation.
Zhao Wumian placed his palm on the Dragon-Breaking Stone, took a few deep breaths, and began to slowly practice his skills.
Seeing that he looked calm, Jingjing'er felt miraculously at peace. She quickly put the remaining treasures and blood into her Qiankun bag and waited obediently behind him.
Practice for half a minute...
The power of the entire right arm is gathered in the palm...
One minute……
The internal force of Dantian is gathered in the wrist...
Two minutes...
The internal strength of the upper body is concentrated in the front elbow...
three minutes……
The whole body's true energy flows into the right arm...
four minutes...
Under the clothes, silver-white dragon scales flashed, Zhao Wumian suddenly opened his eyes, stepped forward with force, and hit the center with his palm! "Crack!"
With a loud bang, spider web cracks appeared from the palm print and slowly extended to the entire stone door!
Wow!
Stones and stone powder fell off, and the huge dragon-breaking stone blocking the passage was easily broken, revealing the passage behind.
"?!"
Jingjinger witnessed the whole process and was stunned.
He was a member of the Thief Sect and often dealt with the Dragon-Breaking Stone. According to his analysis, this Dragon-Breaking Stone was probably thicker and heavier than the three gates! If it was relying on the power of a magic weapon, it was understandable, but this "Hua Qianshu" destroyed it with his physical body, which was incredible!
Are the martial arts of the East China Sea Knight Island so powerful?
"withdraw!"
Zhao Wumian used his physical skills to rush out, Jingjing'er reacted quickly and rushed out as well.
Meng Hengyun's eyes almost popped out.
The Dragon-Breaking Stone can't trap me!
Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, when the mechanism was triggered and the ground shook, he thought something was going to happen. Fortunately, it was okay.
Jingjing'er's face flushed, and he shouted, "Retreat quickly!" His expression clearly showed that he had gotten what he wanted. His fellow disciples were overjoyed and immediately retreated as planned.
"Lightning Step" is unique in the world, and everyone turned into lightning and flew out.
not good!
The treasure is going to be lost!
That’s the wealth accumulated over decades!
Meng Hengyun's eyes turned red. He picked up the knife, abandoned Xiao Yi, roared, and slashed at Zhao Wumian and Jingjing'er.
Zhao Wumian took out the Yunya umbrella, held the big knife, and swept out with his true energy.
He is now the character of "Hua Qianshu". His skills are limited, but his combat thinking has not changed. His high comprehension and brain power bring him extremely high reaction and combat intuition. The moment the sword and umbrella collided, he had already seen the flaw. He turned around and kicked the sword. After a clanging sound, the huge force made Meng Hengyun almost unable to hold the handle of the sword, and his body spun with the sword.
Zhao Wumian followed up with a move [Strike the Water Three Thousand Times], his power burst out, and the tip of the Yunya umbrella pierced the coccyx point on his back!
Baihui falls to the ground, and the tailbone does not return to its home place.
This is a vital acupoint. Once hit, it will obstruct the circulation of Qi in the body and cut off the meridians!
Meng Hengyun was shocked and hurriedly used his external Qi to protect his body. A Qi shield was suddenly formed, but the stalemate only lasted for a moment. Zhao Wumian attacked with all his might, exerting triple power. With a loud bang, the Qi shield shattered like glass, and the fierce attack hit the coccyx acupoint!
Meng Hengyun spat out a mouthful of blood, flew backwards and fell to the ground.
Just at this moment, two hidden weapons shot out from a distance.
Zhao Wumian spun around and dodged.
Nan Wenzhi and Lin Xianrong attacked from the left and right, one used the Lotus Palm and the other used the water-based Yin-Yang technique Bai Lu Qi Shuang. The two attacked from both sides. Zhao Wumian infused his true energy and suddenly opened the Yunya Umbrella in his hand, using the Feng Qi Yun Yang Jue [Ding Bo Shui Lan]. Ripples appeared on the umbrella and the water vapor in the sky turned into a three-meter-long spherical shield that protected Zhao Wumian in the middle!
This move combines technique and martial arts, and if you focus on defense, it can calm down any storm!
Nan Wenzhi and Lin Xianrong hit the shield with their palms, and it seemed as if they were stuck and wrapped by a stream of water. They thought to themselves that it was not good!
Zhao Wumian smiled, holding the umbrella handle, and twisted his hands. The umbrella surface spun violently, and the two people being pulled also shifted up and down at the first moment! Zhao Wumian saw the opportunity and used two palms in his backhand, fighting one against two. Both palms came out at the same time, almost without order, and the powerful palm force rushed towards him, and the strong wind whistled like a stormy sea!
"The Wave-Splitting Palm!"
The two were startled and were knocked several feet away by the powerful palm force, with the blood flowing backwards throughout their bodies!
Zhao Wumian laughed, his figure flashed, and he turned towards the animal pen.
Nan Wenzhi and Lin Xianrong looked at each other, then turned around and chased after the other person.
Zhao Wumian secretly thought that he was smart. One was from the East China Sea and the other was from the Daomen Sect. It was highly unlikely that the treasure would be on the same person. If one of them was difficult to deal with, then he would naturally look for the other weak persimmon to pick on. It was a pity that if he didn't come to catch me now, the loss would be even greater!
The White Lotus Sect wanted blood essence, gold, silver, and exotic beasts, but now they have lost their blood essence, gold, and silver.
Only one left!
Zhao Wumian returned to the animal pen.
The red-maned lion's eyes sparkled, having been waiting for Zhao Wumian to break into the Yin-Yang magic formation.
咣 咣 咣!
The moment his body broke into the animal pen, the formation was activated and the alarm bells in the entire villa sounded!
In front of the treasury, Meng Hengyun heard the bell, his face turned pale, and he spat out blood. This group of people were going to dig up the roots of Wanshou Villa!
Brother! Why don't you take action?
Little did they know that Meng Changfeng's situation in the front yard was not good either.
The two magical images fought each other. Wang Guming was the descendant of the Zongheng lineage and had a detailed knowledge of Guiguzi's unique skills, such as "The Book of Su" and "The Eight Methods of Mimicking Shapes". Before he even used his magical powers, he had already forced Meng Changfeng to have no time to take care of other things!
When Meng Changfeng heard the alarm from the formation, he became even more furious and had an even stronger murderous intent. He became as crazy as a madman and as mad as a beast, and his moves became increasingly fierce and brutal, as if he was ready to fight to the death.
"wrong!"
Nan Wenzhi and Lin Xianrong had just chased for a short distance when they heard the sound of a bell behind them. They could not help Wang Guming, and Wang Guming did not need their help - after defeating Meng Changfeng, they could naturally empty the treasury and take away the exotic beasts, but now a group of scoundrels came, and they had to stop them from taking the treasure, but they did not expect that these people were also planning to take the exotic beasts!
Those strange beasts have been tamed by Meng Changfeng, can they take them away?
Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!
With half of the treasure in front of them and the entire animal pen behind them, the two men were in a dilemma.
"These damn thieves!"
Nan Wenzhi cursed angrily and made a prompt decision: "Junior Sister Lin, your Qinggong is better than mine. Go chase that thief and I'll go back to watch. As long as Master wins, he can naturally make those strange beasts obey him and kill that bastard from Donghai."
"it is good."
Lin Xianrong stepped on the ground and used his lightness skills to catch up.
Nan Wenzhi returned quickly.
Zhao Wumian has already broken into the animal pen.
Holding the Frost Moon Blade in his hand, he cut off the collar and chain of the red-maned lion at lightning speed. Then, using the innate energy from the "Su Shu" and his hand seals, he cast spells to remove the spells from all the strange beasts in the pen!
He stood in the center, with red-maned lions guarding his side. His hands kept making seals like butterflies flying through flowers, mobilizing the yin and yang energies.
A warm and soft ball of light appeared.
"With the beast, forget about the machine, solve it!"
Zhao Wumian put his hands together, and a ball of light spread out, sweeping across the four directions like a hurricane!
The dull eyes of all the strange beasts that were swept by the magic power gradually became bright.
Taming beasts is like raising swords.
If you want to control it like an arm, you need to feed the sword with blood day and night. But if you want to make it lose control, that is easy. You just need to sever the connection with the sword, and naturally the vague sensation will disappear.
The same is true for strange beasts.
Meng Changfeng had spent countless efforts to make them obedient and tame, but the solution only required a magic spell. Zhao Wumian happened to understand "Forgetting the Secrets of Beasts", even better than Meng Changfeng, so it was no surprise that the strange beasts in the pen gradually resumed their chirping.
All the strange beasts subconsciously looked at Zhao Wumian.
"What are you doing standing still?"
Zhao Wumian laughed and said, "Why don't you run away quickly?"
Instantly.
The dragon colts roared, the blood pythons howled, the apes cried, big and small, strong and weak, all the strange beasts rushed out from the exit of the formation that Zhao Wumian broke through, all kinds of sounds gathered together, mighty and earth-shaking, and then the light and shadows dispersed, and nearly three hundred strange beasts rushed in all directions.
Nan Wenzhi saw this scene from afar, his heart tightened and he almost stopped in fright!
His mind was filled with only one thought: How is this possible?!
"Let's go too."
Zhao Wumian said something to the red-maned lion, and the red-maned lion nodded. A crisp sound came from its body, and its body gradually swelled up and turned into a majestic and powerful lion.
Zhao Wumian flipped over, and the lion roared and jumped out of the cage.
