    ☆.Where can the little thief run 1

    It was raining and windy that night.

    The pouring rain beat on the lotus petals in full bloom in the pond, making a sound like rolling beads.The copper bells hanging on the eaves of the Taoist hall were swaying in the wind and rain, and purple lightning flashed across the dark night sky from time to time. Their force was so fierce that it seemed to tear the curtain apart.

    The little Taoist nun in Lingbo Temple shivered and slept all night, covered with quilt, boom!Another muffled thunder rolled over, and she finally took her head out of the quilt, but was so frightened that she hid it back.The mottled tree shadows on the window screen were like ghosts with teeth and claws. In the slanting branches, she seemed to see a black shadow flash past, so fast that the little Taoist nun thought she was dazzled.

    “Is there… a ghost?!” She rubbed her eyes and hurriedly wrapped herself tightly in a quilt.Drowsily, she fell asleep without realizing it. When she woke up the next day, it was already sunny after the rain.

    The blue sky is dotted with white clouds. After a night of wind and rain, the remaining lotuses in the pond have faded, and new lotuses emerge from under the lotus leaves. The little lotuses are pointed and fresh.

    “Huh…” After stretching a lot, the little Taoist nun started working with a broom in her arms.She pushed open the carved mahogany door outside the meditation hall, and heard a creak as the door opened, and a thin note fell to the ground.The little Taoist nun picked it up curiously and unfolded it to have a look——

    “Sanniang, it’s not good!”

    Yao Ji put down the white porcelain tureen in her hand, wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and then looked at the person who came: “What’s the matter?”

    “Wuchen picked this up outside the meditation hall.” The person who came was a girl dressed as a maid, wearing a green waistcoat. She was Yaoji’s personal maid Qingtan.She pushed the little Taoist nun Wuchen in front of Yao Ji and motioned Wuchen to take out the note, “Sanniang will know it as soon as she sees it.”

    Wuchen was a little cautious and took out the note from his sleeve. His hands were still shaking. He couldn’t help but secretly glance at the girl sitting on the futon, and met a pair of smiling eyes.

    “Don’t be afraid,” Yaoji said softly, “Your name is Wuchen? You are Master Jingxu’s new apprentice half a month ago, right?”

    “You, you know me?” Wuchen suddenly became excited. She was only thirteen years old today, and she was at the age of innocence. She never expected that the big man in front of her could actually tell her identity. She was so excited that it was hard to describe. She couldn’t help but take a step forward, but she didn’t want to be stopped by Qingtan.

    “Note.” Qingtan glared at her.

    Wuchen angrily took out the note and handed it to Yao Ji: “This is it.”

    Yao Ji shook her head slightly in disapproval, took the note, and unfolded it to see that there were three lines of large characters on it, with dragons and phoenixes dancing in the air and dripping with ink, which read——

    “On the seventeenth day of the fifth month, take a Qingxiao Sword and leave your skillful hand empty.”

    “This is…”

    “It’s the note left by Master Miaoshou Bai Muzhi!” Wuchen said excitedly.

    “Young Master Miaoshou, he’s just a little thief who steals things,” Qingtan glared at Wuchen again, then turned to look at Yao Ji, “Sanniang, this little thief is also brave enough to dare to be so provocative, but… he can leave the note outside the Jingxiu Hall, has he broken through the Lingbo Formation?”

    “Impossible,” Yao Ji looked at the words on the note and shook her head slightly, “If he could break through the Lingbo Formation, he wouldn’t have left this note. I have also heard of the name Master Miaoshou. Legend has it that heThere are ‘three steals and three no-steals’: the one with the highest price steals, the one with the intention steals, the one who likes it does not steal, the weather is bad and he does not steal, the employer does not like it and does not like it, and it is unreasonable to steal it. This Qingxiao Sword is not a famous weapon, but Liu Shaofeng, the young master of the famous sword house, accidentally left it here when he broke into the Lingbo Formation.I think someone must have hired him to get the Qingxiao Sword back.”

    “Then…who could it be?” Wuchen asked subconsciously, “Is it Liu Shaofeng?”

    “No,” Yao Ji smiled slightly, “The Qingxiao Sword has been left behind by Liu Shaofeng for more than half a year. HeIf you wanted to get it, you would have taken action long ago. I heard that one of the most eye-catching events in the world recently is the marriage between Mingjian Tower and Nangong Villa. Liu Shaofeng will soon marry the eldest daughter of Nangong Villa, Nangong Wan. This eldest lady has always been arrogant and a person who can’t get rid of the sand in her eyes. Her fiancé’s sword fell in Lingbo Temple, which must make her feel dissatisfied.”

    “So Nangong Wan invited Master Miaoshou to come?” Wuchen’s eyes widened in surprise.

    Yao Ji nodded: “I’m 90% sure.”

    “Where is the note? Why do you say that Mr. Miaoshou has not broken through the Lingbo Formation?”

    “The reason is very simple,” Yao Ji made a gesture to signal the excited little Taoist nun to be calm. “Mr. Miaoshou entered the world at the age of sixteen and has made a total of fifty-seven attacks. Thirteen of them left notes before taking action. In other words, he did not leave a note every time he made a move. These thirteen times may seem unrelated, but they have one thing in common, that is, it is far more difficult to do it than usual.”

    “So… so?” Seeing Yao Ji paused, Wu Chen couldn’t help but ask.

    “Stupid!” Qingtan raised her hand and gave her a surprise, “Sanniang has made it so clear, but you still don’t understand. Then the master of magic who left the note was just making a fool of himself. If he has already broken through the Lingbo Formation, he naturally doesn’t need to resort to such tactics, okay,” shePushing Wu Chen out, she said, “The Lingbo Formation is so exquisite. In the past few years, there have been so many fools in the martial arts who have tried to break through the Lingbo Formation, but they have failed. A little thief, huh, it’s just a dream. Sanniang has a good rest.” She blessed Yao Ji, “My maid went to the kitchen to make soup. It was raining and windy last night, and it’s very cold now. You must not take off the cloak.”

    “I know,” Yao Ji laughed, “She’s so verbose, even more verbose than my mother-in-law.”

    “My lady said before I came here,” Qingtan said in a serious tone, “Teach me to take good care of Sanniang. If there is anything wrong in the slightest, I won’t have the courage to go back to see your husband’s wife. But Sanniang is here, how can she be better than at home, maid, maid…”

    Seeing that the loyal servant was about to shed tears again as she spoke, Yao Ji quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, “No, Sanniang,” Qingtan hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes, “My servant will leave now.” After that, she pulled Wuchen and retreated out.

    he As soon as the two left, the room became quiet again.Yao Ji looked around. The decoration in this room was very simple, but it was simple but full of elegance.The table is made of rosewood, the chairs are made of huanghuali, and even the tea bowl is made of official kiln white porcelain.Just like her current status – an inconspicuous female crown in Lingbo Temple, but everyone knows that she is the eldest daughter of the famous Chu family, how can she be underestimated?

    No matter how noble you are, you are just a prisoner.

    Yao Ji secretly sighed, returned to the table and picked up the note. They said that seeing words is like seeing people. Although Bai Muzhi, the master of handwriting, is not very good at handwriting, he still has a great bearing at every turn. She couldn’t help but raise the corners of her lips: “Imagine, this person must be unscrupulous…”

    “Unscrupulous?” A low voice sounded leisurely, “Miss Chu is so judgmental, I am very sad to teach Xiaosheng. How about Miss Chu change the word and praise me for being free and uninhibited?”
