Chapter 198 Treasure Stealing Plan

However, the Yin and Yang rotate, and when the nine Yins are gone, one Yang will be born. Every nine years, the Yin Qi of the earth is at its weakest. During the three months of midsummer in the ninth year of Yang, the Yang Qi of the Qing Emperor Valley is at its strongest, and the human race can enter the underground at this time.

At that time, the Jinque Sect fell in an instant. Although all the people were gone, the attic buildings were still there, and the sect's secret treasures and books were not snatched out in time. Therefore, the major sects in Qinzhong Continent swarmed in after hearing the news. After the tide of Yin beasts receded slightly, they went down to the underground to snatch the treasures of the Jinque Sect.

The tide of treasure hunting in the Qing Emperor Valley lasted for five or six hundred years before it slowly subsided. After all, after countless searches by a large number of cultivators, the possibility of there being treasures left in the ruins is very small.

Besides, the Yin beasts in the Qing Emperor Valley are not vegetarians. It is said that there are beast kings of the fourth level or even higher levels. Yin beasts of this level, and they occupy the advantage of the terrain, are no match for cultivators of the same level as the human race and the demon race.

Despite this, every Yang Jiunian, many human cultivators come to Qingdi Valley to explore the secrets, especially the Jiufu, Changsheng, Jinang, and Guiyi four families, which will definitely send their sect cultivators into the underground world.

The Jinque four sects have three purposes for the trip to Qingdi Valley in Yang Jiunian. The first is to continue to search for treasures. Jinque Sect is its mother sect, and the four major sects naturally think that the treasures inside belong to them, and they count as one if they find one.

The second is to let the disciples kill Yin beasts and exercise their practical skills; after all, Jiufu Sect and Changsheng Sect are established by talisman arrays and elixirs respectively, and they belong to strange sects, and they rarely fight with others on weekdays.

The third is to collect the demon cores of Yin beasts.

Yin beasts are a special kind of demon beasts, and there are many types, but because they absorb the ghost Yin Qi, their demon cores are as black as ink, so the cultivation world calls them ink crystals.

Ink crystals have many uses, especially as irreplaceable materials for refining many elixirs and magic tools, so their value is quite high.

Many human cultivators come to Qingdi Valley for ink crystals. Some of them made hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in three months by hunting Yin beasts and reselling black crystals, which can be said to be rich overnight.

Of course, many of them were unlucky and were besieged by Yin beasts and became food for the monsters.

This year is the year of Jiuyang. Jiufu Sect, like previous years, made preparations early. Two Jindan elders led fifty inner disciples to go deep into Qingdi Valley.

Outer disciples are not eligible to participate in the trip to Qingdi Valley, and the inner sect has so many disciples leaving at once that manpower immediately becomes scarce.

At this time, the sect will draw thirty disciples from the outer sect to share many affairs of the inner sect.

The trip to Qingdi Valley takes three months and will not end until the autumn when the Yang energy gradually weakens.

The disciples who are drawn to the inner sect to serve also need to serve for three months. The treatment during these three months is quite generous, and they can also get familiar with the inner sect uncles and brothers, so every outer sect disciple wants to get this good job.

Although Shi Qi is not an outstanding outer sect disciple, he has now "climbed" to Wei Fuqing of the inner sect.

Wei Fuqing is the eldest disciple of Zhang Xuansu, the third elder among the Nine Fu Eight Heroes. He, Dongmen Qi under the name of the eldest elder, and Feng Qitong under the second elder are outstanding among the foundation-building generation. They are the three people that the sect has the highest hopes of advancing to the golden elixir stage.

As the "capable general" of the Wei faction, Shi Qi naturally got this job easily.

Seven days before the beginning of summer, the thirty outer disciples were brought to the Jiuhe Hall, where they will draw lots to determine their tasks for the next three months.

The person in charge of this matter is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. He put a piece of wooden sign into the box in front of him, and then cast a spell to shield the box, so that each disciple came to draw randomly. Different tasks are written on the sign, and you have to do what you draw.

The spiritual consciousness of this cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building is not weak, but it is still far behind Shi Feng, so Shi Feng "casually" drew the task of guarding Huizhen Garden.

Three days before the beginning of summer, Shi Qi and other eight outer disciples were called to the front yard of Huizhen Garden to explain the task.

The person in charge of the defense of Huizhen Garden was the sect elder Huang Guan Daoist. However, he did not personally meet Shi Qi and others, but his disciple Wan Feng did it for him.

Wan Feng was quite tall, with a purple-red face and a mid-stage foundation-building cultivation. He obviously looked down on these outer disciples and spoke in a cold tone.

However, this man was loyal to his duties and first explained the various matters in detail. Then, he led Shi Qi and others to familiarize themselves with the situation of Huizhen Garden.

As the place where the sect hides treasures, Huizhen Garden is guarded very strictly. Unlike the general tower-style treasure pavilion, Huizhen Garden is a courtyard structure with two layers, the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard contains all the sect's treasures.

Huizhen Garden's defense is divided into three layers. The first layer is the patrol of the guarding disciples. The second layer protects the entire Huizhen Garden building, which is a magic array, and this magic array is directly connected to the sect protection array. Once it is attacked or there is a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy, the sect protection array will detect it.

In addition to the above two layers of defense, the inner courtyard of Huizhen Garden also has a third layer of protection, which is also a formation, called "Black Turtle Carrying Stele Formation".

This formation has no offensive power, but the defense is extremely strong. Even if seven or eight Jindan cultivators attack together, they can't blast a gap for a moment.

Moreover, the Black Turtle Carrying Stele Formation is also a changing formation. It has a total of 32 changes, and it rotates irregularly every day.

Because its changes and combinations are different every day, the token to open the inner courtyard is also different every day.

Huizhen Garden has two front and back gates, each guarded by an inner disciple and four outer disciples. Shi Feng was assigned to guard the backyard gate.

The disciples in charge of guarding the front gate patrol the perimeter of the entire Huizhen Garden. Walking around the garden is a patrol.

The disciples in charge of guarding the back gate patrol the twenty-four rooms in the outer courtyard.

As for the inner courtyard, it is a treasure trove and has two layers of magic array defense. Disciples do not need to patrol all the time, but every night, Wan Feng will come to inspect the inner courtyard in person.

Every day at Chenshi, the two leading inner disciples in charge of guarding the front and back gates will go to Wan Feng to get the jade card.

Among them, Shi Feng and his team are responsible for guarding the second gate. Their jade cards must be verified with the jade cards in the hands of the front gate guards before they can enter Huizhen Garden.

Every day at Haishi, Wan Feng comes to inspect Huizhen Garden. He has a third jade card in his hand. This jade card must be compared with the jade cards of the two gate cards in the front and back yards before entering the inner courtyard.

On the first day, Wan Feng took everyone to familiarize themselves with the entire Huizhen Garden. The collection of items in Huizhen Garden is really dazzling, with magic tools, materials, elixirs, and of course a large number of classics.

The Jiufu Sect is inherited from ancient times and is famous for studying talismans. Talisman formations are a study of ancient times. Therefore, the Jiufu Sect has a very rich collection of books. Among the 24 rooms in the outer courtyard, 16 are used to place various classics. The jade slips and classics that Liu Dai lent to Shi Feng were all from the outer courtyard of Huizhen Garden.

Although there are only seven rooms in the inner courtyard, and the number of items in each room is far less than that in the outer courtyard, every item in it is a treasure.

Among them, in the innermost treasure room marked with the word "seven", although Wan Feng did not introduce what was hidden inside, Shi Feng quickly found the label of "Five Dragons Shaking the Mountain Pearl" in the wooden shelf.

Shi Feng felt hot in his heart and wanted to snatch the box and run away.

After the beginning of summer, the Qingdi Valley opened, and the two Jindan elders led fifty elite disciples to leave the sect and set off for the Qingdi Valley.

At the same time, Shi Qi and others also officially moved into Huizhen Garden and began to guard the mission.

After the first few days of excitement, these outer disciples gradually got used to it, and life returned to normal. Because Shi Qi was a half-mute, no one talked to him, so he was naturally happy to be quiet.

Unknowingly, ten days had passed, and Shi Feng had a clear understanding of the inside and outside of Huizhen Garden. He patrolled with everyone every day, seemingly confused, but in his heart he was repeatedly thinking about the plan to steal the treasure.

Only by holding the jade token in Wanfeng's hand can you enter the inner courtyard!

Therefore, Shi Feng's first plan was to steal Wanfeng's token, but this idea was almost immediately rejected by Shi Feng himself. Whether he could steal the token was secondary, and the key was when to steal it?

If Wan Feng steals the token when he leaves Huizhen Garden after inspecting the inner courtyard at night, it will definitely not work, because Wan Feng will go directly to Taoist Huangguan to hand it over after the inspection. The token does not stay with Wan Feng overnight, and because the black tortoise carrying the monument formation changes every day, the token will be useless after midnight.

If it is during the day, when Wan Feng receives a new token from Taoist Huangguan at noon, he will wait for an opportunity to steal it. There is much more time, but since Wan Feng has been entrusted with an important task and is responsible for the defense of Huizhen Garden, he must be a meticulous person. How could he not find out that the token was stolen for a day?

Shi Feng's second plan is still for the token, but not to steal it, but to rob it.

The small courtyard where Wan Feng lives is not far from Huizhen Garden, and Shi Feng, as a disciple guarding Huizhen Garden, if he goes to Wan Feng's residence and says that he has been ordered to report something, Wan Feng will not be suspicious. At that time, it will not be difficult for him to suddenly attack and capture Wan Feng.

But this method was quickly rejected because even if Wan Feng was controlled, he did not know how to deal with him.

If Wan Feng was killed with one knife, his natal card would immediately break, and Taoist Huangguan would immediately find out. Besides, Wan Feng had not offended him, and Shi Feng could not bear to kill innocent people for stealing treasures.

Instead of killing him, he just tied him up and hid him. Wan Feng was the general manager of Huizhen Garden, with a lot of affairs, and people were looking for him almost every moment. Among those who often contacted Wan Feng, in addition to Taoist Huangguan and the two leading inner disciples responsible for the defense of Huizhen Garden, there was also Dongmen Qi.

As the grandson of the great elder, Dongmen Qi was responsible for the miscellaneous affairs of the entire sect. He had the heaviest burden on his shoulders, especially after the departure of two elders and fifty inner elites. He was even more terrified. For important places like Huizhen Garden, he had to ask Wan Feng almost every hour.

If Shi Feng tied Wan Feng up, others would not be able to find him, and the matter would be easily exposed.

Of course, these can be solved by thinking of ways. After all, if Shi Feng restrains Wan Feng and then sneaks into the inner courtyard to steal the treasure, it will only take a cup of tea. As long as no one contacts Wan Feng during this period, he will not be exposed.

But Shi Feng finally rejected this plan. One of the key factors is that he does not want to implicate the old shopkeeper Dong.

Although Shi Feng contacted Dong Jiuxing only for the purpose of sneaking into the Jiufu Sect, the old man has been kind to him for half a year. If he stole the Five Dragons Shaking the Mountain Pearl and left without killing Wan Feng. Then when Wan Feng escapes, he will naturally ask the old shopkeeper Dong.

Repaying kindness with kindness and repaying grievances with grievances are Shi Feng's principles of action.

He can't repay grievances with kindness as his master said, but Shi Feng can't do the behavior of repaying kindness with grievances.

Shi Feng's third plan is still to sneak attack Wan Feng, but this is much more complicated than the second plan.

First, he plans to choose to attack Wan Feng in the evening when Wan Feng comes to inspect Huizhen Garden, and then maskedly attack Wan Feng, knock him unconscious, and hide him in the black tortoise shell.

Then he disguised himself as Wan Feng and entered the inner room. The two inner disciples leading the teams in the front and back yards were only at the Qi Refining level and could never see through his disguise.

Since the hour of Hai is Wan Feng's patrol time, Taoist Huang Guan, Dongmen Qi and others will not come to Wan Feng at this time.

After stealing the Five Dragons Shaking the Mountain Pearl, he will release Wan Feng from the Black Turtle Bone and throw him on the road.

The difficulty of this plan is not the first step, but after it succeeds, in order not to implicate the old shopkeeper Dong, Shi Feng must continue to stay in the Nine Talisman Sect.

After stealing the treasure, the top leaders of the Nine Talisman Sect will naturally investigate it strictly. The eight outer disciples on duty are the key suspects. At that time, can he withstand the interrogation of the elders of the Nine Talisman Sect?

Shi Feng hesitated in his heart, but after watching Wan Feng open the Black Turtle Carrying Tablet Array several times in detail, this plan was also rejected by Shi Feng.

It turned out that when Wan Feng opened the entrance array, his right hand placed the token in the groove while his left hand pressed on the stone platform.

At first, he thought it was just a habitual action of Wan Feng, but later he found that when he pressed his left hand, the stone platform also flashed with a faint light.

Shi Feng immediately understood that the opening of the Black Turtle Carrying Monument Array not only requires a token, but also requires the detection of the cultivator's blood aura.

That is to say, even if he holds the token and disguises himself as Wan Feng, he still cannot enter the inner courtyard.

At this time, he suddenly missed the white fox. If the white fox was there, he could use illusions to control Wan Feng and let him go in and take out the Five Dragons Shaking the Mountain Pearl and hand it over to him obediently. That would be really unnoticed.

After the first three plans were overturned, Shi Feng pondered and came up with a fourth plan to steal the treasure.

In Huizhen Garden, there are 24 rooms in the outer courtyard and 7 rooms in the inner courtyard. Each room requires a separate jade token to open.

Of course, the seven jade tokens of the inner courtyard rooms are in Wan Feng's hands, while the 24 jade tokens of the outer courtyard are in the hands of Shi Feng's team of guards.

Every night, before Wan Feng arrived, Shi Feng and his team would first inspect the 24 treasure rooms in the front yard, close the doors and lock them, and then put the 24 jade tokens in a wooden box, and when Wan Feng arrived, they would hand them over to Wan Feng and report the inspection of the front yard.

After inspecting the inner courtyard, Wan Feng collected the 31 tokens from the inner and outer courtyards and handed them over to his master, Taoist Huang Guan, and the patrol mission for the day was over.

Shi Feng's plan was to put the black tortoise bone into the wooden box containing the jade tokens and drill into the black tortoise bone himself. Wan Feng always took the wooden box to inspect the inner courtyard, which brought him into the inner courtyard.

The Five Dragons Shaking the Mountain Pearl was in Room 7 of the inner courtyard. When Wan Feng entered the room for inspection, Shi Feng could take advantage of his unprepared turn and use the spirit array to take the jade box containing the Five Dragons Shaking the Mountain Pearl into the black tortoise bone.

After that, Wan Feng would take himself out again after the inspection.
