The story of Princess Xiatang's counterattack

Chapter 583 Second Elder

Chapter 583 Second Elder

The clothed man bowed slightly, "Master Hui, the other three elders gathered in the White Tiger Hall at the second quarter of Shen Shi, and Yan Yang and others were guarding the door, and the subordinates could not approach."

The old man known as the Venerable nodded, and his expression became a little playful, "The third child, the older they are, the more ignorant they are."

"In your opinion..." The clothed man did not finish, but quietly waited for the next sentence.

"Qianyan, go out of the ancestral hall tomorrow and tell Yuanwai that the deity has complied with his request. The third child and the others, the deity has a way to make them nod." The old man turned his eyes to the porcelain pot in his hand, with a smile on his lips more and more obvious.

"Yes," Qian Yan replied, "It's getting late, your lord should rest earlier."

"Sleep in a while, you go down first." The old man ordered lightly, keeping his eyes on the porcelain pot in his hand.

Xiao Hei quickly flew up to the roof, and only after Qian Yan left, did he fly down again.

Looking in through the small hole just now, the old man seemed to be looking at the porcelain jar in his hand as if looking at a pet, and after playing with it for a while, he got up and walked to the wooden shelf by the wall, moved the books at the bottom, and placed them on the ground. , revealing a large hole.

The old man put down the porcelain pot in his hand, restored the book to its original state, took out a thin piece of paper from his pocket, and sandwiched it in the innermost book.

After finishing a series of actions, he stood up, yawned slowly, and turned to rest in the back room.

When he left, he did not extinguish the candles on the table.

Xiao Hei was a little puzzled, thought about it, and decided to go to other places first, and he wrote down this place.

Speaking of which, this palace is simple enough, except that it is the same as other palaces in appearance, there is no decoration at all on the vermilion lacquered pillars outside the door.

The ones passing by in front have complicated patterns, but no one lives in them. Now this one is occupied and there are no decorations. It really doesn't understand.

Xiao Hei flew in one direction, and there were many empty palaces. After careful observation, he found one thing, the candles in unoccupied palaces were much brighter than those in inhabited palaces.

This discovery helped him a lot, because with this small difference, he found another palace that was inhabited.

The pillars outside the door are different from the ones just seen, they are decorated with Suzaku patterns.

For the four ancient beasts, Xiao Hei worships them very much, and he also memorizes their images by heart.

Take a look at others, and then look at yourself. They are also animals, and look at others.

Of course, it is normal for a family to be worshiped by the world because of their pure blood.

Flying around the palace, it saw the silhouetted window at the back. It still poked a hole to look in. The person inside looked younger, sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating.

After watching for a long while, the man didn't move, and Xiao Hei really didn't bother him, so he flew away by himself.

Because the area inside the Yuehua Temple was too large, Xiao Hei flew around it for more than half an hour.

Back to the starting point, Xia Houxiang was waiting for it on the tree, and Xiao Hei fell on his shoulder and told what he saw and heard.

There are countless palaces, large and small, all of which are exquisite and luxurious buildings. Without exception, they are extremely brightly illuminated by candlelight. It has already flown over the place where the Fifth Elder lives.

If it guessed correctly, the palace where Qianyan went should be the second elder's residence, and the other four elders were distributed according to the four images.

Zuo Qinglong, right Baihu, front Suzaku, and back Xuanwu.

The four palaces were built around the palace of the second elder, in a form of encirclement.

"Besides, I heard the inside asking, 'Third Brother and the others, is there any movement?', there should be something, and they didn't agree."

"All asleep?" Xia Houxiang squinted his eyes as he looked at the rows of brightly lit palaces inside.

"Well, when I flew back, I flew around their house and fell asleep."

"Walk."

Xiao Hei soared into the sky again, Xia Houxiang stepped on the bricks and tiles on the roof, and quickly moved forward, going to the second elder's room first.

Lifting the roof tiles, Xia Houxiang fell directly into the house from above the roof, and Xiao Hei was sent by him to the dormitory to watch the second elder, so that he could react immediately if he woke up.

According to what Xiao Hei said, Xia Houxiang first found the note in the book, which was a letter asking for Gu.

Xia Houxiang glanced through it quickly, knowing it well, and after putting it back as it was, she moved the book away, and a porcelain jar appeared in front of her eyes.

He opened the lid, and there was a wriggling worm inside, devouring the small worms on the side, he didn't know what kind of Gu worms were in this jar, it would be great if he could let Elder Shen take a look.

Now it's not easy to startle the snake, just when Xia Houxiang put the book back to its original place, a small black shadow suddenly landed on his shoulder.

After a while, the second elder in a middle coat came out with a teacup.

He woke up in the middle of the night, and there was no water in the pot in the house, so he could only come out to pour tea.

Yawning, he drank the poured tea in one gulp. The second elder held the cup and was about to walk back when he stopped suddenly.

Xiao Hei on the roof did not dare to vent his nervous atmosphere.

The second elder turned around and walked back, and then... took the teapot from the table away.

After the house returned to calm, Xia Houxiang covered the tiles and took Xiao Hei to the next location.

Xiao Hei patted his chest with lingering fear, and muttered, "I was scared to death, I thought I was going to reveal my stuff."

Xia Houxiang looked a little dignified, if that was the Second Elder of Yuehua Temple, his kung fu is not weak, obviously different from those disciples outside who only practice Gu but not kung fu.

The second elder is a real practitioner.

If such a person fights alone, it is naturally no problem, but if he uses the upper Gu, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.

Xia Houxiang went around the rooms of the other four elders, and they were sleeping soundly. After Xia Houxiang entered, it was as if no one was there, and snoring could still be heard occasionally.

However, there is no gain.

After noting down the directions of several people's sleeping halls, they went to Yuehua Temple, observed the highest eaves for a while, and then went straight to the house that Xiao Hei said Qian Yan had been to.

Xiao Hei couldn't see everything from the outside, but only knew that there were rows of wooden frames with boxes on the inside, but he didn't know what was inside.

Arriving here, Xia Houxiang didn't go down directly, the candles in the room were too bright, so if there was someone walking around in the room, it would be reflected on the window immediately.

If someone passes by outside, you don't need to come in to know that someone is intruding inside.

Presumably, they lit the candles at night with the same idea.

Xia Houxiang just observed that there are two guards in Yuehua Temple, each with five guards. They shuttled through the corridors in front of the palaces, walking vigorously, with swords around their waists.

It is very different from the patrols outside, and the guards here are comparable to the royal inner courtyard.

Therefore, Xia Houxiang needs to think of a surefire way, and he can't expose it until the investigation yields something.
