Wu Dongfang returned to the original place and lurked, looking at the temple from the south. Since he couldn't rush through forcefully, he could only try to sneak in.
Not long after, the door of the palace was opened, and several young wizards came out. They all came out empty-handed. Their expressions were neither joy nor frustration, but relief. Behind them was a middle-aged wizard wearing a short-sleeved coat. This The wizard did not come out to give them away, but came out to get firewood.
The wizard who was waiting outside saw this and hurriedly stood up and went to help. The help was just a pretense. The real purpose was to take advantage of the opportunity to bribe the middle-aged wizard with various small and expensive things.
The middle-aged wizard seemed to be used to this kind of bribery. He accepted the bribes from several people without hesitation and took the gift-givers into the temple.
In addition, the wizards did not come forward to argue, and seemed to be accustomed to this kind of bribery.
Tu wizards are divided into two categories: those under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family and those under the royal family. There are subtle differences in their clothing. It is not difficult to see from the robes they wear that these people are wizards belonging to the Kyushu royal family, and they are obviously not from the same place, talking to each other Not much.
After the middle-aged wizard took those wizards into the temple, the remaining wizards were still waiting outside and did not leave. This shows that the alchemy is very fast. If it takes several days, these wizards would have found them long ago. Place to sleep.
After a brief deliberation, Wu Dongfang followed the wizards who came out of the temple. They were all wearing the costumes of royal wizards. Three of them were in a group, and one was from another state. Although they were currently together, OK, but sooner or later they will be separated.
After following for more than ten miles, there was a fork in the road ahead. Three wizards went west and one wizard went east. Wu Dongfang hesitated for a moment and followed the three wizards to the west. The wizard to the east was a dwarf and he had no clothes. Fa'er wears it.
In order to ensure safety, he did not rush to take action, but followed him for more than 20 miles before taking action. He would definitely kill two.
"I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer them truthfully, I'll spare your life." Wu Dongfang said to the Tu wizard who was glaring at him.
The other party showed an expression of disbelief, with only fierceness and no fear in his eyes.
"As long as you answer truthfully, I will definitely not kill you." Wu Dongfang said again.
The other party's nose was trembling and he would not compromise.
Wu Dongfang didn't unlock the opponent's acupuncture points, nor did he waste any more words. He raised his hand and shocked him to death. He took off and put on his clothes. After disposing of the body, he took the opponent's staff and hugged the condensed body. The stone box rushed back to the temple.
Although he was famous, not many people knew him, because most of the people who had dealt with him were dead. Wu Dongfang walked towards the temple with the stone box in his arms. The wizard in charge saw him and did not step forward to stop him. .
When Wu Dongfang was still more than ten meters away from the entrance of the temple, he shouted hello to the wizards, "Everyone got here first."
Everyone turned to look at him at the same time, some nodded in return, but most of them ignored him at all.
"I'm exhausted." Wu Dongfang walked to the end of the line and sat down. He spoke loudly on purpose. If he sat at the end of the line without saying a word, people would probably suspect his identity. But the fact that he came over shouting and shouting showed that he was not guilty.
After Wu Dongfang sat down, he asked a young wizard who tilted his head to look at him, "Brother, which state are you from?"
The other party glanced at him and raised his sleeves.
Wu Dongfang nodded and did not ask any more questions. He could only tell the difference between the costumes of the royal wizard and the royal wizard, but he could not tell which state the other party was from through the subtle differences in clothing.
Wu Dongfang put down Shi Han and took out a handful of dates from his arms to eat, deliberately making a clicking sound. The wizard on the side frowned and turned his head. Wu Dongfang hurriedly took Shi Han into his arms.
"What treasure did you bring?" the wizard asked curiously.
"I can't tell you this." Wu Dongfang said with a smile. The person who arrived in the middle of the night talked with the wizard waiting here, which further showed that there was no problem with his identity.
"There's nothing good in Liangzhou," the wizard said disdainfully.
Wu Dongfang smiled and handed the dates to the other party, "Here, have a taste."
The other party waved his hand, and Wu Dongfang didn't hand it over again. By now, he had successfully sneaked in, and all he needed to do now was wait.
The wizards were tired from waiting, and some of them lay down, followed by Wu Dongfang.
He originally wanted to ask when the door would open next time, but he thought about it and didn't ask. It would be useless if he asked. He would have to wait.
Even in danger, he could still sleep.
At around twelve o'clock, the door opened. When Wu Dongfang heard the door opening, he turned over and sat up. Looking north, he could see part of the temple through the crack in the door. The ground was paved with bluestone, and there were two rows of braziers in the palace. There is a huge stone statue in the north. There seems to be an offering table in front of the stone statue, but nothing else can be seen.
This time, two young wizards of seventeen or eighteen years old came out. The people waiting outside did not come forward to bribe them. The two young wizards each carried a bundle of firewood and returned to the temple.
Two hours later, the palace door opened again, and the little wizard came out.
Since the opening time was the same for both times, Wu Dongfang was more cautious and estimated that the two hours were almost up. He stood up and walked around to stretch his muscles. When he heard footsteps coming from inside the door, he adjusted his walking position. , when the other party opened the door, he observed the situation in the temple from another angle. The statue in the main hall was almost as high as the temple. It was not known whether it was Dayu or the Yellow Emperor. In front of the statue, there was a stone "ji"-shaped offering table, with incense burners and fruits placed on it. Other than that, there was nothing in the hall except for the sacrifices.
The palace door closed, Wu Dongfang returned to his original position and sat down.
"Is this your first time here?" asked the wizard who had spoken to him earlier.
"Yes." Wu Dongfang nodded.
"Did you bring the introduction?" the other party asked.
"Bring it." Wu Dong said. He didn't know what an introduction was at all, but he had to pretend to know it at this time, otherwise the secret would be exposed.
The other party stopped talking.
Wu Dongfang began to worry. He didn't know what an introduction was, but looking at this posture, he wouldn't be able to get in without an introduction.
This was an oversight on his part. He should have thought that the security here would be very tight and it would be impossible for outsiders to sneak in easily.
"How long will it take before it's our turn?" Wu Dongfang asked the other party in a low voice.
"It's early, it will take two or three days." The other party said.
"Two or three days? Let's not wait here and find a place to sleep." Wu Dongfang said.
"You have to line up, how dare you leave." The young wizard shook his head.
"Hey, hey, hey," Wu Dongfang pretended to be mysterious and approached the other party, taking out two exquisite small jewelry, which were worn by the Rakshasa girl, "Can we jump in line?"
When the other party saw that he had something rare, his attitude immediately became much closer, "Of course, brother, please bring me in too."
"No problem, I'll give you one." Wu Dongfang stuffed a piece of jewelry into the other person's hand.
"Thank you, brother, what's your name?" the young wizard said with a smile on his face.
"No, what about you?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Ti, Yunshi." The young wizard reported his name.
"When will the door open next time?" Wu Dongfang asked in a low voice.
"It's nine to eleven." Yun Ti was talking about Si Shi. The timekeeping at this time was very inaccurate, and it could easily be a span of two hours.
"Let me take a look at your introduction." Wu Dongfang said.
Yun Ti glanced at him doubtfully, but he had just taken his things and couldn't refuse his request, so he took out a small cloth bag from his arms and poured out a small pebble from the bag.
Wu Dongfang did not reach out for the small stone, but quickly condensed a larger stone and held it in his hand, "Why is mine bigger than yours?"
"The size doesn't matter, as long as it has the aura of the Heavenly Master." Yun Ti quickly put away the small stone.
Wu Dongfang also put away the stone that had just been condensed. After working for a long time, he found the earth and stone with the aura of the Earth Celestial Master. This was easy to handle. He himself was the Celestial Master, and the Qi and Spleen Sutra was the earth aura.
"It's my first time here. If I don't understand anything then, you have to remind me." Wu Dongfang said.
"That's natural." Yun Ti yawned.
"You haven't had any rest all night. Get some sleep. I'll call you if anything happens." Wu Dongfang said.
"Okay, let me squint for a while." Yun Ti leaned over and lay down.
Wu Dongfang began to sit and wait. After dawn, several more wizards came, all carrying stone boxes, wooden boxes and other items.
As Si Shi approached, Wu Dongfang began to think about his next plan. This alchemy cauldron was too important to the Tu people and its usage rate was extremely high. If the alchemy cauldron was lost, it would be a big blow to the Tu people, especially now that this kind of people are developing. The critical period of fighting against the water tribe.
If I can successfully snatch the alchemy cauldron, that's all. If I'm stopped midway, I can only destroy the alchemy cauldron. It can't be used by me and will never be used by the enemy.
At about ten o'clock, the door opened, and several wizards who had entered before came out. Yun Ti pushed Wu Dongfang, and the two stood up and bribed the middle-aged wizard before everyone else.
Women like jewelry, and men also like it. With jewelry, they can give it to the woman they like. The bribes of the two have immediate results. The middle-aged wizard accepted the bribe and led the two of them and two other wizards stuffed with shell coins into the hall. .
At Yun Ti's reminder, Wu Dongfang walked to the statue and saluted, then followed the middle-aged wizard around to behind the statue. Behind the statue was a dark brown stone door three meters high and two meters wide. The stone door was a single leaf. , the trace should move up and down.
There is a stone niche on the stone wall on the right side of the stone gate. Yun Ti was the first to go up and put the stones in his hands into the stone niche. The other two wizards also put the guides into the stone niches. The guides they brought were two stone ones. Wu Dongfang went up last and put the stones imbued with spiritual energy into the stone niche.
"Bang." The stone door on the first floor went up.
"Bang." The stone door on the second floor went down.
"Bang." The stone door on the third floor moved to the left.
"Bang." The stone door on the fourth floor moved to the right.
With four consecutive sounds, the four stone doors opened one after another. The four stone doors were one above the other, and each layer was more than one meter thick. Inside the stone gate is a large cave, dimly lit but very spacious, with no end visible from the entrance.
Before entering the cave, Wu Dongfang took a peek at the middle-aged wizard and saw that there was nothing unusual about him, so he followed several others into the cave...
