Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 14 Thief
“Chila la!”

Who knows what kind of miraculous treasure the fire bead was made of! It came with great force! It was spinning! It was spinning very fast! It rubbed out dazzling golden flowers in the air, like a fire dragon spewing out a column of smoke! Smoke and clouds were puffing, and flames filled the sky, smashing straight at the back of Tiedan's head!

This attack was so powerful and powerful that Tiedan felt a burning sensation in his heart and back from a distance. The heat was overwhelming, and he was afraid that this attack would burn him to death. Of course, he couldn't take it head-on!
He was also experienced in fighting, fearless in the face of danger, and calculated the timing! He slid to his knees and braked suddenly, turned suddenly, and at the same time threw out the money to block it! The fire bead was deflected a little!

"squeak--!"

Then the fire bead screamed and passed by Tiedan's ear! It hit the pillar of the attic with a blow!

"Boom!"

The golden nanmu tree, which was thick enough for an adult to hug, exploded! The gust of air blew Tiedan away! Most of the building collapsed! In the rising fire cloud, the entire building collapsed!
Tiedan held his head and rolled over. He was just brushed past by a fire bead, and the overflowing sparks directly singed a large area of ​​his back and shoulders. At this moment, he was blown by the hot wind and rolled on the ground full of gravel and wood chips. The pain was so piercing that it pierced his heart and his gums were bleeding!
But it’s good that you’re not dead! Fortune and wealth are sought in danger! Keep running if you’re not dead!

Taking advantage of the darkness, the starless moon, the dazzling firelight, and the swarming figures of people, Tiedan crouched and shuttled through the crowd.

He wanted to go back the same way, but when he reached the wall, he heard a lot of noise and a clattering sound. Having been in the border area for a long time, he knew that there were groups of armored men running back and forth, shoulder to shoulder, and the sound of the bright armor pieces and the long sheaths of swords and halberds colliding with each other!

Tiedan also knew that the situation was not good. The Shi family must have reacted and mobilized a large number of servants to guard the outer courtyard. Going back the same way would be courting death, so he gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed into the inner courtyard of the Shi family, found an empty room, slipped in, and hid under the bed.

He didn't know whether it was because the sword energy had exhausted his spirit, or because he had been injured internally by the explosion of the fire bead just now, but when Tiedan calmed down, he was exhausted, his eyes were dizzy, and he fell asleep without realizing it.

But Tiedan did not sleep well this time. The wounds on his shoulders and back felt hot and painful, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears, like a mosquito, or like someone was talking. He was neither asleep nor awake. There were ghostly shadows in front of his eyes, as if many people were shouting in front of him, and countless illusions flashed by.

When he finally came to, Tiedan felt his whole body stiff and his head was splitting, as if he had a hangover.

But fortunately, he was lucky. The Shi family was wealthy and powerful, and the houses and courtyards they built were connected together. They were busy putting out fires and searching for thieves last night. This was also the women's inner residence, so no one had discovered him yet.

But Tiedan did not dare to go out for the moment. Looking at the sky outside, it was already daybreak. He was seriously injured and could not hide his whereabouts. Going out rashly would probably lead to his death. He would probably be caught and there would be no need to ask any questions. They would just chop him into pieces and throw him into the manure pit to use as fertilizer for the flowers.

So Tiedan had to hide in the room temporarily, and at the same time, he took out the treasure he had snatched from his arms and took a look at it.

Fortunately, the gin jug was still in my arms, so I didn't end up in vain.

Now looking at it in the light, the workmanship of this wine pot is very fine. There is also a picture of a fat quail-like bird playing in the water engraved on the pot, and every feather is clearly visible. It is obviously a famous product made by a skilled craftsman. Opening the lid and looking inside, there are indeed countless scriptures, mantras and runes engraved on the inner wall. There is a universe inside, and the Qi circulates endlessly.

This wine jug is, at the very least, a magical tool. It can also emit divine energy to resist heat waves and evil fire. It must be a treasure refined from golden essence.

Although Tiedan did not know the mantra of this item and could not bring out its power, he thought that if he took it out for trading or directly refined it again, it would be enough to produce the Taoist material for building the foundation.

Moreover, after shaking it, it seemed that there was still some wine in the jug, and it smelled a strange fragrance. I didn't know what kind of fine wine it was.

goo...

Tiedan was hungry, so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back. After all, refining Qi while growing up consumed his essence and blood. It was just because of the habit he developed since childhood that he was able to endure it and would never put anything of unknown origin into his mouth.

But then again, he has never had a full meal since arriving at Guangxia Mountain.

This was not because his master bullied him and didn't give him food. Chen Huzi also knew that the few people at home had not yet reached the level of a real person who could eat clouds and dew and be full with northwest wind, so he would hunt some spirit beasts from time to time to give them a snack.

The fellow disciples in Guangxia Mountain had to take turns washing rice and cooking. They bought rice and flour from the villages and towns, mixed them with some spiritual fruits and fresh vegetables grown on the mountain, watered them with the spiritual spring water from Swallow Cave, steamed them with the fire in the sword furnace, and shared them. This was considered to be immortal food that could both fill their stomachs and allow them to practice.

But the problem Tiedan encountered was that there seemed to be some dirty creature in the swallow cave that was specifically stealing his food...

It was definitely not an illusion! Ever since that pot of mutton, Tiedan found that he often lacked food!

Because the senior brothers were too lazy to cook three meals a day, they would often make a pot every three or two days and make rice balls and pancakes for everyone to share. Tiedan developed the habit of privately storing dry food since he was a child, in case of emergency, but the little food he saved with great difficulty would often disappear the next day!
At first Tiedan thought that the crazy woman was deliberately making trouble for him, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't make sense.

That woman wanted him dead. If she found the food reserves, why would she just poison him? Why steal it? Did she want to starve him to death? Could it be another fellow disciple?
I can't take it anymore. The more I think about it, the hungrier I get. I'm so hungry and thirsty that I can't stand it any more. Do you want to drink a sip? But if the wine is poisonous...

Before Tiedan could figure it out, he suddenly felt something heavy on his hand.

When I looked down, I saw a fat catfish that appeared from nowhere. It grabbed the wine jug and drank up all the wine in one gulp.

Tiedan just stood there in a daze.

This thing... that's it! It's not an illusion!
The truth is out! It's you! Catfish thief!

Tiedan grabbed it!
However, the fat loach was so slippery that it was hard to hold back! With a somersault, it easily broke free!

"Pooh!"

The catfish used the same old trick again! It spat into Tiedan's mouth!
"Cough, cough, vomit!"

I swallowed it again! What the hell is this?

Before Tiedan could react, a surge of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from his mouth, nose, and stomach, accompanied by a fishy smell, impacting his meridians!
Tiedan was shocked! This catfish was actually poisoned!

He immediately closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and refined the fishy Qi that was pouring into his body, transforming it into sword Qi to detoxify! ...

……

……

Seems to be okay...

The catfish's Qi was unexpectedly rich, mellow, moderate and peaceful. It was even richer than the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth that he cultivated by meditating at the top of Guangxia Mountain every morning. Apart from the extra fishy smell in his mouth, there was no other problem.

Although it is a bit disgusting to have my stomach filled with catfish saliva, I wonder if it is an illusion... No, it is not an illusion...

Tiedan touched the wound on his shoulder and found that it still hurt a little, but the large area of ​​burns had been healed in an instant. The new pink skin had a clear color difference, and it was obvious that this was not a dream.

Of course, when I looked back, the fat catfish had disappeared without a trace...

What's going on? Where did this mythical beast come from?

Besides, catfish is also a mythical beast...

Before Tiedan could figure it out, hurried footsteps were heard outside the house!

Tiedan quickly crawled under the bed, held his breath and kept quiet, gathering sword energy at his fingertips to defend himself.

In any case, thanks to the catfish thief, he has now escaped from the danger of death, and has recovered his energy, so he has another chance to fight his way out.

Then the door creaked open. Looking from under the bed, it seemed that a woman had broken into the house and was rummaging through drawers and cabinets, looking for something.

Tiedan did not make a move, because he could clearly see that there was another person following the woman. The person was obviously skilled in some light skills and he moved with his feet close to the ground, like a cat, without making any sound.

"Xiao He, what are you looking for?"

"what!"

That 'Xiao He' was obviously startled and knocked over a box of jewelry, with gold and jade bracelets scattered all over the floor.

"Sister Xiangzhu! You, you scared me..."

The person following secretly was probably 'Sister Xiangzhu'. She was not in a hurry and slowly closed the door.

"The library just caught fire, and the young master is unconscious. You, my close servant, didn't go to help put out the fire, but now you come to pack up your belongings. Where do you want to go..."

That 'Sister Xiangzhu' spoke slowly and leisurely, with a soft and gentle voice, but what she said was like a needle piercing the ear, as cold as frost and snow, and it made people shudder even when listening to it.

Sonic power? This woman has deep inner strength and possesses superior martial arts...

Even Tiedan felt uncomfortable listening to this. Xiaohe, who seemed to be not very old, was naturally even more frightened and trembled all over. He was so frightened by just one sentence that he knelt on the ground and wailed.
"Sister Xiangzhu! Sister Xiangzhu, please forgive me! It's none of my business! It's really none of my business!"

"It's none of your business, why are you running away? What, do you have a lover outside?"

Sister Xiangzhu smiled, walked forward, and touched Xiaohe's face.
"What a pity! You have such a pretty face and such a soft body. The master and the young master both like you so much and pamper you so much, but you do something like this. It's such a pity..."

Xiao He was so frightened that she cried out "Wow!", tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Sister Xiangzhu! Please believe me, it really has nothing to do with me! Yes, it was the young master who uncovered the talisman! He asked me to take the Ice Pearl Shell Lantern out of the library!"

"What did you say!"

The voice of 'Sister Xiangzhu' trembled, and she was obviously surprised.

Xiao He said quickly,

"Really, it's true! The young master said that the candlelight was too dim, and the wind was too cold at this time of year, so it was uncomfortable to leave it in the study, so he asked me to bring it out, but who knew..."

Then there was a crisp "bang!" and Xiaohe's voice stopped abruptly.

Then, accompanied by a dull thud, Tiedan turned his head and saw the girl falling to the ground, her white brains spurting out of her nasal cavity and ear canal. She was hit by a palm and her skull was fractured, dying instantly.

Then Sister Xiangzhu took something out of Xiaohe's suitcase and walked away silently.

Only a blood-stained girl was left, staring with crystal clear eyes, quietly looking at the boy hiding under the bed, her pupils dilated, no longer lifeless.
