On that day, less than half an hour after the brief fierce battle at Shilong Martial Arts School, Yangzhou's former top master "Mountain Pusher" Shi Long died. His body was buried by Yu Wenhuaji's soldiers.

His best friend, the Confucian scholar Tian Wenjia, who was famous for his poetry in Jiangdu, was fished out of the well.

However, it is a pity that Yu Wenhuaji's men did not find the crucial "Secret of Immortality" on the body of Shi Long, and Tian Wen happened to be missing as well, so Yangzhou City's general manager Yu Chi Sheng immediately

They sent troops to cooperate with Yu Wenhuaji's men to blockade the four gates of Yangzhou's southeast, northwest, and began to search for Yangzhou. They quickly caught the old Confucian scholar who was sneaking out and wanted to escape.

However, things went wrong. On the way to escape, that damn Confucian scholar Tian Wen was cut open by pickpockets in Yangzhou City and stole the secret book without knowing it?

Then, after a frantic and rapid investigation, especially after Yu Wenhuaji's men cooperated with the Yangzhou soldiers to arrest all the thieves and pickpockets in the entire Yangzhou city and tortured them, they

I quickly got a clue, which is:

"Secret of Immortality" was probably stolen by two of the best thieves in Yangzhou City who were fifteen or sixteen years old. One of the two men was named "Kou Zhong" and the other was named "Xu Ziling"

, some people saw that the two people had been around Tian Wen before Tian Wen was arrested, and thought that those two people have not been captured yet, so there is no other possibility except that the secret of longevity is with them.

then!

After locking in the target, the general manager of Yangzhou sent more troops to blockade Yangzhou and began to dig three feet into the city, searching house by house, seemingly determined to kill the two before dark.

Will the daring thief capture Gui Yu and take back the stolen "Secret of Immortality"?

However……

What the arrogant Yangzhou Governor Yu Chisheng and the Sui Dynasty Imperial Guard General Guan Yu Wenji didn't know was that snakes have their own paths and rats have their own paths. They thought that as long as they blocked the two of the four main gates of Yangzhou City,

Pickpockets are unable to fly, but the two people who usually crawl around Yangzhou City know Yangzhou well and have already escaped from Yangzhou City through a sewage culvert. At this moment, they are in the city more than ten miles outside the city.

Playing in a clear stream and feeling proud!

"Ha ha!"

"Those big guys still want to arrest us, Yangzhou Shuanglong. How can it be so easy?"

"okay."

"Kou Zhong, stop talking and wash up quickly, we will stink to death!"

"Too!"

"Next time, I, Kou Zhong, will never get into that cesspool, never!"

"Don't drill?"

"Hey!"

"If we hadn't dug in, we would have been arrested by now, and maybe all of us would have been killed!"

"ah!"

"makes sense……"

"That Ziling, if there is need next time, can we drill?"

"Okay, okay!"

"Wash up quickly..."

"Then get out of here quickly, otherwise it will be terrible if they find out and chase you out!"

In this way, in this clear stream hidden in the mountains and dense forests, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhongzheng were scrubbing away the stench that had stained their bodies and hair due to drilling in the latrine sewage ditch, while drying the rinsed clothes, and at the same time

Don’t forget to show off proudly.

"Speak!"

"Kou Zhong, what on earth is that book?"

"Is it worth sealing off the entire city of Yangzhou for this?"

While washing, Xu Ziling suddenly thought of something important and asked quickly.

"have no idea……"

"But it's definitely not something simple!"

"look!"

"This thing is neither gold nor jade. It has been soaked in manure pits and water for so long, and now you wash it, and it's not rotten?"

Hearing Xu Ziling speak, Kou Zhong hurriedly picked up the tattered book from the stream that caused them to be wanted all the way in Yangzhou and was almost captured and cut into pieces, and quickly read through and commented on it.

"Unfortunately……"

"It's all filled with ghostly symbols and characters that we don't recognize, and there are also some humanoid images. We can't understand them at all!"

However, although Kou Zhong was usually known as a man of learning and talent, pickpockets were always pickpockets, and his knowledge of characters was really limited, and he obviously didn't know much about hieroglyphs and pictures.

"never mind!"

"Ziling, take a look, I'm still more interested in this!"

Saying that, the bored Kou Zhong directly threw the "broken book" in his hand that Yangzhou Chief Manager Wei Chisheng and Yu Wenhua had been looking for for a long time into Xu Ziling's arms, and then possessed him again and went under the stream.

I quickly pulled out a heavy cloth bag from the pebble river bed.

"It's so heavy!"

There is no doubt that the bag is what Kou Zhong and his wife found in the pocket of a gorgeously dressed little girl after they touched Tian Wen's "Secret of Immortality".

Originally, they wanted to find a place to open it, but before they had time, they were wanted by the whole city. Then the leader of their group of pickpockets was arrested. They were so frightened that they quickly sneaked out of the city through the sewage channel of the cesspool.

coming.

But now, this place is more than ten miles away from Yangzhou City, and some fools must still be aimlessly searching for them in the city. Therefore, they now have time to slowly count the results of today's victory.

"What the hell is this?"

"whispering sound!"

"Why are you still tied with a knot?!"

Kou Zhong tried to untie it several times, and even bit it with his teeth, but in the end, he found that he could not open the heavy cloth bag that contained something unknown.

"Still can't open it?"

"impossible?"

"Kou Zhong, aren't you still known as the most powerful pickpocket in Yangzhou? Why can't you even open a knot?!"

Seeing that Kou Zhong couldn't even open the bag he got, Xu Ziling also felt a little strange.

So he first threw the "Secret of Immortality" in his hand on a big pebble on the shore to dry in the sun, then swam to Kou Zhong's side, snatched the bag from his hand and tried to

Solved it on my own.

"!

"

"How evil!"

"What kind of knot is this and why can't it be untied?"

"have no idea!"

"Anyway, it's so heavy, it must be a good baby!"

"Um!"

"It seems to be heavier than silver!"

"Isn't it?"

"You also saw the little girl in the red dress at that time. Not only did she have tender skin and tender flesh, but the workmanship of her pants and boots were also first-class. A person like that must be a lady from a wealthy family, and she is not an ordinary wealthy family.

So I guess the stuff inside must be amazing!"

"!

"

"But it can't be opened!"

"Hello!"

"Kou Zhong, do you have a knife?"

"Knife?"

"No!"

"At that time, we were just running away. How could we pack our things when we had time?"

"or……"

"Let's smash a rock and cut the rope?"

"good idea!"

After trying it for a while, Xu Ziling found that he, like Kou Zhong, could not do anything about the exquisite cloth bag with a knotted knot, so he suggested that Kou Zhong smash one or two pebbles and then use sharp stone edges to cut them.

Try the bag rope.

After about a cup of tea...

"!?"

"What the hell!"

"Ziling!"

"What the hell is this? Why can't it be cut open?"

"hateful!"

"It won't break even if I smash it!"

"Be good!"

"Kou Zhong, this shows that...it must be an amazing treasure in itself!"

"We are rich!"

"Get rich?"

"right!"

"Hurry up then!"

"Think of another solution?"

Although they found that neither the sharp edges of the stones nor the direct hits with stones could break open the bag, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were not discouraged. Instead, they got together more energetically and started messing around with all their strength.

What they don't know is...

At this moment, a little girl in a red festive dress suddenly appeared behind them out of thin air, and reached out to grab a branch and began to pull the book that Xu Ziling had thrown on the pebbles.

.

"!

"

"who?!"

"?!"

"It's you?!"

Soon, perhaps because they were tired from struggling, perhaps because they heard the sound of turning the pages of a book, or perhaps discovered something through the reflection on the water, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were already very alert, suddenly turned around and exclaimed.

said out loud.

Then they saw that the little girl from whom they had stolen things, the owner of the strange bag that they just tried their best to open, was on the bank of the stream behind them, using

A branch holding their book?

"..."

(??ω??)

That’s right!

The person who came was no one, it was just little Annie who had eaten enough and had nothing to do, and then sneaked all the way to the outside of the city intending to cause trouble for the two people in front of her!

After all, who could make the other party not learn well but come to steal her Lady Queen Anne's things?

(…)

(●￣?￣●)

"This book is quite interesting, but you just leave it here?"

?(ψ｀▽′)?—

Anne glanced at the two bad guys and quickly finished flipping through the book. While slowly standing up and throwing away the branch, she did not forget to ask them teasingly.

In her opinion, the value of the book under her feet should be much higher than that of the storage bag. Of course, it was relative to those two people, but they actually abandoned it and tossed the book hard instead.

A storage bag that they would never be able to open without her permission?

"you……"

"How did you find me here?"

After first looking around cautiously, Kou Zhong found that the surroundings were still quiet, and it seemed that only the cute little girl in front of him was there. Then Kou Zhong felt relieved and continued to talk proudly while holding up the storage bag in his hand:

"I see!"

"You want it back?"

"That's not possible! We have never given anything back to Yangzhou Shuanglong. Don't even think about it!"

"besides!"

"Did you come here alone?"

"Then don't even think about getting it back. We two adults are not afraid of a little one like you!"

Yes, they are Yangzhou Shuanglong, two grown men, but the other party is a seven or eight-year-old girl, with high combat prowess. When the other party has no help, Kou Zhong feels that he can fight with just one hand.

Can you pin the opponent to the ground without being able to move?

Therefore, the matter of returning the things must not be mentioned again!

"Not afraid?"

(???.???)????

"is that true?"

(?￣??￣??)??°

This was the first time Anne heard that statement, and she found it a bit strange.

"That……"

(??ω??)

"Are you afraid of this?"

?(ψ｀▽′)o─═≡※:☆

Seeing that the two of them were still trying to walk from the stream that was up to their waists to the shore on their side, Annie suddenly waved her hand without even thinking about it, and then under the doubtful eyes of the two people, she looked at the person who was at least dozens of meters away.

A large smooth pebble weighing more than ten tons, which five or six people could not hold in their arms, quietly made a puffing sound.

Immediately afterwards, a diagonal line seemed to appear on the originally smooth outside?

It seems...

Was it cut in half by the gesture Annie made just now?

Scratch it~!

boom!

!

"!

"

"!?"

Then, under the horrified and unbelievable looks of Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, they were shocked to see:

The smooth upper part of the pebble, which weighed at least several thousand kilograms, actually slid along the smooth surface into the stream, and made a loud rumbling sound, even turning the originally gentle and clear stream.

The vibration caused circles of sand and dust to float directly to the bottom?

Then, the frightened two people naturally didn't dare to move anymore. They just looked at each other and stood blankly in the middle of the stream, not daring to move again.

"that……"

"female……"

"Heroine!"

"How about I give you that book as an apology?"

"Will you spare this little one?"

After a long while, Kou Zhong was the first to react and said timidly.

However, although he proposed compensation, he had no intention of letting go of the bag in his hand. He seemed to still have a strong curiosity about the thing that neither of them could open with all their strength, even if

Is it because the horrifying owner is not willing to give up even if he comes looking for it?

"compensation?"

(゜-゜)

"This book?"

(*ˉ?ˉ*;)

Anne was quite surprised to hear that the other party actually said this plan.

"Do you know what it is?"

(lll￢▽￢)

However, it was an accident, and Anne was not in a hurry to say yes or no. She just kicked the book that was drying on the pebbles with her toes and asked in a playful voice.

"have no idea."

"It should be very powerful?"

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong looked at each other, and then answered nervously and cautiously.

"..."

(￢д￢.)

"It's called "The Secret of Immortality". It's a Taoist classic written in oracle bones by Guangchengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor in ancient times. After practicing it, you may have the chance to live forever and become an immortal. Are you really willing to give it to others?"

|???ω??)??

Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to know the value of the shabby book, after thinking about it, Anne had no choice but to explain it to them casually and reluctantly, and even read a paragraph to them, and at the same time

The general meaning is clarified.

"!

"

"Really, is it really that powerful?"

"That……"

When he heard that the "Secret of Immortality" was really powerful, and the opening paragraph was astonishing, Kou Zhong was decisively moved and prepared to change his mind.

"!

"

"Ahem!"

"Heroine!"

"You can take it if you like, but I just ask the heroine not to remember the villain's faults?"

But unfortunately, before Kou Zhong could say anything, Xu Ziling on the side touched him with his arm first, then quickly lowered his body and said with a flattering smile, indicating that the two of them were really willing to give up the "Secret of Immortality" and never give up.

No regrets!

"..."

(￢д￢.)

"I'm not a heroine!"

ε=(?ˇεˇ??))) Bah!

"besides!"

(′～`●)

"I'm not an adult, I'm just a little girl!"

(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~

First she said disdainfully, and then she looked at Kou Zhong, who was still holding the storage bag tightly until now, and said with a frown and annoyance:

"That's a storage bag, you can never open it like that!"

ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas

"Don't bother!"

o(′^｀)o

After speaking arrogantly, Annie waved, and the bag quickly flew to her. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were shocked again, and at the same time, they were still stunned. Apparently they didn't expect that Annie would have such a thing.

A magical power to photograph objects from afar.

"!

"

!(;?o?)o

"Huh!"

!?(?''??)?

"Disgusting!"

=????('ヮ'=????)

"Did you fall into a manure pit? Why is there cake on it?"

o(*｀ー′)o

Annie, who had a sensitive nose, quickly smelled something unusual from the sewage seeping out of the bag. So, before the thing touched her fingertips, she quickly threw it back and let it go.

It fell back to the bottom of the clear stream bed in front of the two people.

"..."

"..."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

Because they didn't escape from Yangzhou City by getting into a manure pit! They are still fine now, but when they first escaped, they were covered in live maggots.

"never mind!"

??(??￣?￣)????

"It's dirty. I don't want it anymore, so I'll give it to you!"

o(′^｀)o

"There is only some gold inside. You can open the bag just by closing your eyes and investing your consciousness."

(*???*)

It was just a storage bag of gold coins, which Anne originally planned to spend in this world. She was not rare for that kind of thing, and she had as much as she wanted. So, since she saw it was dirty, she

It will definitely not be recycled again.

"Remember!"

o(*?^?*)o

"Stealing is wrong, don't steal again!"

(???3?)

After satisfying her curiosity, Annie felt that it was almost done, then she clapped her hands, said a few words and prepared to leave.

"Almost forgot!"

|??????)??

"Do you think I still have to punish you?"

?(ψ｀▽′)o

As she spoke, Annie suddenly turned around and waved her hand again, and then a huge eel magically flew over from the stream in the distance and threw it directly towards the two of them.

"??"

"What's this?"

Not knowing why Anne, the 'little heroine', suddenly took a big plump eel, the two of them naturally stretched out their hands to take it.

"!

"

"Wow!

!”

"meaning!

!

"

“Uh uh uh uh!

!

"

Next second!

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong both straightened their bodies as if their limbs suddenly cramped, and howled miserably with their eyes wide open.

Immediately afterwards, he fell face down into the stream.

"Gulu gulu gulu..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Then, of course, a large amount of stream water was poured into their mouths and noses in an instant, making their lungs instantly uncomfortable.

However, at this time, they were completely unable to control their hands and feet, but they could do nothing about it. They could only watch the stream flowing over their heads, breathing helplessly, until the whole world slowly became silent.

.

I don’t know how long it took...

"!

"

"?!"

"ha!

"

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

"Cough! Cough!"

"call!"

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

It wasn't until the two of them were about to drown alive that they suddenly discovered that the weird eel seemed to swim away, and the numbness suddenly became vague?

Then, regardless of their still numb bodies and hands and feet, they hurriedly struggled to stand up in the middle of the stream and supported each other while gasping and coughing.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Hahaha??(???*)

"This is a lesson. Let's see if you dare to reach into other people's pockets next time?"

(????-)?

A silver bell-like laughter sounded. Anne made a big face at the other party and gave a final warning, then turned around proudly, and then disappeared in an instant.

As for the big electric eel she just ingested from another continent in this world, she just ignored it and didn't care whether it could survive or reproduce in this water.

"ah……"

"!

"

"she……"

"Why did he suddenly disappear? He was still standing there just now..."

"What a hell!"

"Nonsense, how is it possible that the sky is clear and the world is bright and clear?"

"That……"

"I know!"

"Me too!

"

"she is……"

"God, God!

"

In the end, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong looked at each other dumbfounded at first, and then they both came to a shocking conclusion, and of course they exclaimed and knelt down in the stream with a plop, and began to wail in their hearts.

They are blaming themselves, why didn't they be smarter just now, why didn't they just shamelessly accept each other as their disciples?

Although the other party is not necessarily a god, the other party's magical method of smashing big rocks with his bare hands and disappearing out of thin air must be that kind of master among masters! Even better than the number one master in Yangzhou, "Mountain Pushing Hand" Shi Long.

A tall expert?

"..."

After a long time, Kou Zhong gradually recovered, and then he threw himself into the stream again and quickly groped for something.

And not long after, he once again picked up what was said to be a storage bag that the two of them had been unable to open.

"Ziling!"

"How did she open it just now?"

"Well……"

"You mean to close your eyes and open them with your spiritual consciousness?"

"??"

"What is consciousness?"

"have no idea……"

"It should be the feeling?"

"or it could be……"

"idea?"

"idea?"

"right!"

"Just like when we learned to steal things, we concentrated on getting copper plates from the oil pan?"

"..."

"do not care!"

"Let's try it first!"

Soon, Kou Zhong closed his eyes and began to 'put' what they thought was his spiritual consciousness into the storage bag.

After trying it for about a cup of tea...

Quite suddenly, for some reason, there was an extra handful of golden coins in Kou Zhong's hand, which was much more than the pocket?

"Wow!"

"Ziling!"

"We are prosperous this time!

!”

After seeing the golden thing in his hand, Kou Zhong was stunned for a long time, and then he danced and cheered loudly!

"There's more in there!"

"many!"

"At least as many as one carriage!"

"Look quickly!"

"What?"

"ah!"

"Really, really many!

"

"quick!"

"Let's pack our things and leave here first, before anyone robs us!"

"good!"

Soon, the two of them came to their senses completely, and then hurriedly stuffed the large handful of gold coins back into the bag. They found that the weight and size of the bag had not changed at all, and they even continued to stuff a large pebble into it.

After there were no problems, they realized that they had met an amazing person and obtained an amazing treasure, so they hurriedly ran ashore and began to hurriedly dress up and prepare to run away.

After all, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Yangzhou City are looking for them, and now they have obtained an incredible treasure. If they don't run quickly, if they are caught, they will really be used as wedding clothes for others.

"etc!"

"Kou Zhong, don't forget this book "Secret of Immortality"!"

"Hurry and stuff them into the bag together!"

"??"

"Why are you still carrying Lao Shizi's gadgets?"

"This is the secret to longevity!"

"The immortal master just said that it is really the secret book of cultivating immortals. We can't throw it away."

"Okay, okay!"

"Hurry up, let's escape from Yangzhou first!"

"Um!"

Soon, after packing his things, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, who was carrying the storage bag excitedly, sneaked into the forest and quickly disappeared without a trace.

but……

Not long after they left, a tall and beautiful woman wearing a purple dress and holding a sharp sword flew over beside the stream where they had just bathed.

However, she had no intention of chasing after Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling. She just looked deeply at the place where Annie disappeared just now, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"..."

After a long time, she slowly turned around and looked in the direction where Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling were walking away, then looked at the neatly cut large pebbles, frowned and thought about it, and then finally gritted her teeth and used Qing Kung to go far away.

He followed the two men.

About an hour after the strange and beautiful woman flew away, a group of frustrated officers and soldiers also found the place, and in shock and fear saw the large pebble cut out like a mirror.
