"Master Tie, what should we do? Should we go and take a look?"
Someone asked carefully, and Tie Wen frowned and thought for a while. No one around said anything at this moment. After a few breaths, Tie Wen made up his mind and said.
"We can't let anyone know about our secret meeting. We don't know if the other party knows we are discussing this. We are even more unsure whether the person holding the banquet in this deserted house is a ghost..."
Muttering this, Tie Wen, who had originally planned to withdraw, suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Jiang Tong.
"Originally, the Wei family in Zhonghu Dao had a book without words. After the Wei family was destroyed and the manor was abandoned, the book was completely lost, right?"
"That's true, but now that demons and ghosts are appearing in this world, and immortals are showing their magical powers, it's possible that they have taken it away. There have been rumors about the destruction of the Wei family. It is said that the immortal who gave the book was furious when he saw the decline of the Wei family, so he brought down disasters. It should have been taken away."
Tiewen nodded, but his eyes narrowed.
"But, what if the book was not taken away at all? What if it is still in Wei's manor? This night banquet is really strange..."
The mission of a spy is to achieve all results that are beneficial to Dazhen, and instigating rebellion is just one of them.
Of course, Tie Wen would not take a blind risk. After weighing the pros and cons, knowing that he could not delay at this moment, Tie Wen fumbled in his arms and finally took out a treasure bag, which he thought was worth using.
"This is?"
Jiang Tong was a little curious, and Tie Wen did not hide it from him.
"This brocade bag was given by the Immortal Qingsong. It contains three fortune slips, divided into auspicious, neutral, and ominous. There are three in total. Originally, I should have used one when I crossed the battle line, but we were careful and lucky, so we saved one. Now is a good time to calculate it."
As he spoke, Tie Wen used his strong power and tapped his left index finger with his sharp nail. A drop of blood immediately oozed out of the fingertip. He wrote with his left hand and wrote the word "Qi" on the front of the brocade bag.
While Tie Wen was writing here, on the other side, Ji Yuan on the willow had already put away the Qiandou pot. He was holding a book in one hand and a pen in the other, and was writing something on the open page. He glanced at where the Dazhen spies were, smiled slightly, and wrote a few words in that direction through the air.
"It's appropriate to take this opportunity to let them disperse. Although it's hasty, it's a perfect match."
On the other side, a faint light flashed, and the red string that was originally knotted on the brocade bag automatically untied.
At this moment, Tie Wen took a deep breath, carefully reached two fingers into the brocade bag, took out a folded paper, and then slowly unfolded it. Two lines of text slowly appeared on the paper.
Before, when asking for good or bad luck through the lucky sachet, there were only a few words at most, or just one word at all. This abnormal situation certainly attracted everyone's attention, and Tie Wen also subconsciously read out the words.
"In spring, the clear nights are filled with starlight, and the precious light shines with a gentle breeze..."
The two rows of words disappeared after they appeared, but there was no indication of good or bad luck on the fortune slip.
Whoosh… Whoosh…
There was a gentle breeze blowing outside, making people feel comfortable in this neither cold nor hot night.
"This doesn't mean anything good or bad, but the literal meaning just now... Could it be that the Wordless Book is really still in the Wei family?"
"Indeed!" "Great, maybe we can get the wordless book!"
"Yes, this is what I deserve to be great and prosperous!"
Several subordinates nearby also spoke.
"I once heard that all treasures have spirits and can act on their own. Perhaps the night banquet was a reminder from the heavenly book to us."
Although this idea is a bit outrageous, it at least sounds nice, and the secret bag has been opened, it would be a waste if I don't take a look.
"Let's go and have a look first."
They were all masters of the Dazhen Sect, and they had talismans and other things bestowed by the heavenly masters and immortals. They had made full preparations to enter the heartland of Zuyue. Even if they encountered ordinary evil spirits, they would be enough to deal with them. If they encountered a particularly powerful one, they would have been exposed by now.
A dozen people used their Qinggong skills to quickly cross the wasteland of Wei's manor and quietly approached the depths of the backyard. Because the manor was so large, it took them a while to reach their destination.
In the distance, he could vaguely see the lights of the night banquet over there. Because of the effect of the talisman on his body, on the nearby rooftops and courtyards, the foxes inside had not noticed anything unusual outside and were still eating and drinking happily.
Ji Yuan was not there, and Jin Jia had also left. The big black dog squatting on a chair became the protagonist of the banquet, and the foxes all came to toast him.
"Come, come, Brother Gou, please drink this cup to the full!"
Hu Li poured the wine himself and held it in front of the big black dog, and the foxes next to him started to make a noise.
"Yes, yes, yes, Master Dog, please drink, Master Dog, please drink!"
A fox was jumping around nearby, and a big black dog narrowed its eyes as if smiling in a very human way. It moved closer to the wine glass, held the glass with its two paws, licked it twice with its tongue, and then took a deep sip.
“Sizzle, sizzle…”
The wine flowed up along the tongue and directly into the dog's mouth.
"Coo-coo-coo... woo-woo-woo..."
"Drink, drink, Lord Dog has a huge appetite!"
"Hahahaha, Lord Dog is really awesome!"
The foxes were dancing and one of them transformed into a woman grabbed a piece of meat and put it to the black dog's mouth. The black dog swallowed and chewed it directly, and drank another glass of wine, looking extremely enjoyable and comfortable.
This scene was seen by Tie Wen and another Dazhen master who were peeking outside. Their pupils contracted and they got goose bumps all over their bodies.
There is no auspicious sign of heaven in there at all, it is simply a demon cave. Anyone who sees people, foxes and dogs feasting and drinking together at night would not think that there is anything good in there.
Tie Wen and the others were also thankful that they had the immortal master's talismans on them, so the monsters inside were unable to detect them. From this, they could also conclude that the monsters inside should not be very powerful, but there was no need to start a conflict.
Just when Tie Wen was about to retreat quietly, he suddenly saw a flash of light in the hand of a wealthy man inside, and suddenly a book appeared in his hand.
Hu Li was just about to pour wine for the big black dog, but he saw that there was a book in the hand holding the wine glass, which was just supported by the wine glass. The book was also emitting bursts of brilliant light, and it looked definitely not simple.
"This is... "Dream in the Clouds"? "
The first two words were spoken in a low voice of doubt. After seeing the words on the paper clearly, Hu Li, who was slightly excited, subconsciously read them out with a heavier tone.
"Dream of the Clouds?" "Book?"
All the foxes at the banquet were stunned, their eyes focused on Hu Li's hand. As soon as the book appeared, it began to turn pages automatically, and words emitting brilliant light floated out one by one.
Some of these words are blurry while others are clear, but the vague meaning when put together is that if you get this book, you can obtain the immortal method of freedom.
The next moment, almost all the foxes had a feeling of divine consciousness flowing through their bodies, but they could not express it in accurate words. However, they all vaguely understood that it seemed that this moment was the beginning of what Mr. Ji had mentioned before.
"Now?" "So hasty..."
The foxes looked confused, lost and uneasy, while the big black dog on the side had no idea what was going on.
"Woof woof woof?"
The barking of dogs not only woke up the foxes who were somewhat at a loss, but also woke up Tie Wen and others outside. They could also see the brilliance and words inside, and understand their meaning.
His mind raced, Tie Wen no longer cared about anything else and just shouted out an order.
"Everyone, grab the Heavenly Book at all costs!"
"Go!" "Go!" "Kill—"
“Bang…” “Bang…” “Bang…” “Bang…”…
In an instant, more than a dozen masters broke in through doors and windows, each of them with their true energy surging and murderous intent on their faces. Along with the sound of "clang", "clang", "clang" of swords being drawn, the cold light of the weapons came along.
"Ah... run!" "Scatter, scatter..."
"Oh no, Hei Ye is involved too!" "Hei Ye, please leave quickly!"
"Death to you monster!"
The talismans that had been wiped off the weapons of the masters rushed towards the fox and black dog in the house with the fragments of doors and windows. The originally lively banquet was now full of foxes running around.
"Woo... Woof woof... Roar..."
“Dang…” “Dang…” “Bang…”
"Kaala..." "Ah..."
The room was filled with flashes of swords and blood, as humans and monsters fought in chaos. Tie Wen and a master went straight for Hu Li, who was holding the heavenly book "Dream in the Clouds". The sound of the Eagle Claw breaking the wind was so sharp that it hurt his eardrums, and Hu Li turned pale with fright.
“Here!”
"Kala-la..."
"ah… "
Hu Li's shoulder was grabbed by Tie Wen, and his sharp nails dug into him instantly. He felt his tendons and bones breaking along with the severe pain. He was like a ball that had the gas deflated. His originally plump body immediately shrank and turned into a fox holding a book and jumping out from his clothes. Although he escaped the danger of being restrained by Tie Wen, one of his front legs had been pulled loose.
“Ah…” “It hurts so much!”
“Run…Run!” “Run away from here, run!”
"Beep..." "Beep..." "Beep..."
…
Several foxes suddenly started to fart, and the stench of their farts was so overwhelming that a group of experts including Tie Wen were caught off guard and inhaled a few breaths, feeling dizzy from the stench.
The big black dog, which had just bitten a master's arm so hard that the skin and flesh were torn apart, was almost driven to heaven by the stink, so it quickly opened its mouth and jumped out of the house. The foxes were even earlier than it, and had already farted, supporting the warrior who was stunned by the stink and escaped...
“Cough cough cough…” “Cough cough… Ugh…” “Ugh…”
“It stinks…” “It stinks so bad!”
The warrior endured the intense nausea and discomfort, jumped out of the house and moved away, retching and coughing outside, and gasped for a while before recovering.
Tie Wen had a grim expression on his face. He turned his head to look towards the room. There was blood and hair everywhere. Three warriors had not had time to escape and had fallen to the ground. It was unclear whether they had been fainted by the smoke or dead. None of the foxes were left.
…
On the willow tree beside the stream, Ji Yuan once again took out the thousand-dou pot and poured wine into his mouth.
"Dream of Wandering in the Clouds" is an authentic work, and Ji Yuan also left writings on the book. It does contain knowledge on cultivation and other things. But tonight's farce was not his prank. After such an incident, this group of foxes should flee far away and wander around.
Even if someone with extremely high Taoism skills were to calculate this group of foxes, they could still get a complete closed loop. They went down the mountain to live in the Wei family, obtained the Heavenly Book, but were suddenly chased by Dazhen's warriors and fled with the Heavenly Book.
The foxes can be said to have a "clean background", and matters related to fate are not among them and cannot be calculated.
Ji Yuan looked into the distance, where there was a group of foxes, almost all of which were injured but not fatally, fleeing in panic. The leading fox was limping with a book in its mouth, and it could be seen that the fear on these foxes' faces had not yet dissipated.
"Practice well, and we'll see each other again!"
