The capital is huge in scale, with high-end and large-scale residents and sparsely populated old streets.

Youji Street on the north side of the west city is an animal husbandry market. When it rains, sewage flows across the street and smells. Those who can walk here are mostly peddlers and pawns on the ground floor, and most of the surrounding houses are poor.

It was late at night and the rain was getting heavier.

Deep in the alleys of Youji Street, an oil lamp illuminated, and the dim light illuminated the windows of the abandoned courtyard.

The thin figure wearing a hat put the oil lamp on the windowsill, took off the hat, and carefully observed the movement outside. The light illuminated the ordinary cheeks, looking like an ordinary man living here.

The man's name is Guo Yuanlong, but his real name is unknown to the world. He is usually called his flower name - the Wingless Owl.

As the sadness said, everyone has a story, and the difference is that some people know it, while others are unknown.

If Guo Yuanlong's life unfolds, it can be considered exciting. He was born in a wealthy family in Yanzhou. He liked gambling since childhood. After losing all his family's property, he "returned back when he lost his way" and began to support himself and make a living by stealing.

Although he was a bad guy at the gambling table, Guo Yuanlong was extremely talented in the "thief" industry. He became a famous local thief at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Because of his neat skills, he was attracted by a "senior" in the world and accepted it as his apprentice.

Then Guo Yuanlong began to have a great fortune. After learning a good light skills, he wandered around major sects in Yanzhou, stealing secret books, weapons, and rare treasures, and never missed them.

He once ventured into the Yeyun Palace in Yanshan, but it was not because he really wanted to beat the overlord of Yanzhou, Lu Jieyun. He simply wanted to touch in and steal two useful martial arts secrets.

As a result, his luck was so great that he accidentally touched Lu Jieyun's seclusion. Lu Jieyun was not at home and had no effort to get a book of martial arts experience.

Lu Jieyun has the best light skills in the world, and has been trying to break through his own limits. If you have any insights, you can write them down and think about it slowly. Ordinary people may not be able to understand it if they get it.

Guo Yuanlong believes that he is talented and has only learned 30% of the things he has recorded in his experience. But even so, his light skills are already outstanding. Walking an ordinary warrior is like walking a dog. He is famous for his famous thief king in Yanzhou, and has become the well-known "Wingless Owl".

In the hearts of the people of the martial arts world, stealing Lu Jieyun's experience in martial arts has become Guo Yuanlong's most powerful record, but it is not.

Under the candlelight, Guo Yuanlong took out an object from his arms and unfolded the wrapped black cloth, which contained a piece of gold paper.

Gold paper is not made of gold. Guo Yuanlong still doesn’t know the material yet. He only knows that it is extremely tough, can be bent but cannot be folded, and is not afraid of water, fire, swords and guns. All things are difficult to break.

The size of the gold paper is as big as a book page, with pictures engraved on it, and the content is "The dragon turtle with a dragon head and a turtle body, carrying three sittings on the mountain". The picture is shining in the dim candlelight, like a dream, and the pattern is like a living thing.

This piece of gold paper was discovered by Guo Yuanlong infiltrated into the Yan King's Mansion and secretly found in the secret wall of the Yan King's study. At first, he saw it indestructible and thought it was an ordinary treasure. However, after the Yan King was stolen, there was no movement.

The reaction of the King of Yan, coupled with the special golden paper, immediately made Guo Yuanlong guess the true identity of this golden paper - "The Dragon Singing Picture"!

"The Dragon Singing" was first obtained by a founding monarch in history, so there has been a saying since ancient times that "those who get the Dragon Singing will win the world". Throughout the dynasties, "The Dragon Singing" has been a forbidden object, and no one dares to keep it privately except the emperor.

The concept of collecting this item by the vassal king is no different from the concept of privately hiding the "dragon robe and jade seal". No wonder the King of Yan would deal with it in a low-key manner after losing it.

After Guo Yuanlong got this piece of gold paper, his life ideals changed directly. He no longer took the world seriously. He only had the three old monsters on the mountain, and the higher-level "Eternal Life, Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Eternal Etern

According to the sayings circulating in the martial arts world, "The Dragon Singing" has nine pages in total, each page records a supreme secret technique; it was said that more than half of the previous dynasty were collected, but after the destruction of the country, the heroes entered the capital to rob them. The founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty only recovered one, and all the others were lost in the market.

Guo Yuanlong had repeatedly inquired and learned that this picture in his hand was the "Dragon Elephant Picture" in "The Dragon Singing Picture". It is said that he could get a body of magical power comparable to dragon and elephant.

Although the "Dragon and Elephant Map" is far less famous than the "Eternal Life Map" and "Fishing Fire Map", the domineering effect of "shaking the immortals and Buddhas with the power of mortals" is still far beyond the secrets of all martial arts in the world.

However, the effect of "The Dragon Singing" is overbearing and the threshold is not low. Because it is completely different from the secrets of martial arts in the world, Guo Yuanlong has been studying for several years and has only touched a little bit of fur. He has not been able to enter the house until now.

"The Dragon Singing" is a secret method of ascending immortality. It is inevitable that the progress is slow. Guo Yuanlong did not rush. While studying it, he was also looking for the whereabouts of other "The Dragon Singing".

In recent years, Guo Yuanlong has touched the study houses of the aristocratic families, and even ventured to climb over the Shuiyun Sword Pond, but unfortunately he has found nothing.

Without any way, Guo Yuanlong came to the capital, trying to revise historical materials from the "Censor's Pavilion" and find clues, and by the way, see if there is any chance to enter the imperial city and find the only "Jade Bone Qilin Picture" in the world that is treasured by the royal family of the Great Wei Dynasty.

It is the working hours of the "thief" at night and usually does not sleep.

But Guo Yuanlong heard the abnormal wind of "The Wingless Owl's Winged Hand Stealing Ding Ding" today and realized that the situation was wrong.

I followed all the way in the afternoon, but I still haven't figured out the details of the pair of "male and male thieves". For safety reasons, I didn't go out to work, so I temporarily changed my residence to hide. Taking advantage of the quiet night rain, I carefully advised the "dragon and elephant map" in my hands.

But Guo Yuanlong had just thought about it for a while, his ears moved and heard a slight sound from the alley not far away:

call out--

The mechanism is touched, and the sound of the silver needle breaking through the air!

-----

Boom-

A muffled thunder resounded through the towering city under the rain.

The rain grains were like soybeans, hitting the old tiles, making crackling and crisp sounds.

Ye Xingtang held a single knife in his hand, leaning against the alley wall, slowly touching the abandoned courtyard deep in the distance.

Luo Ning walked in front and took off his hat to avoid any bumps, which aroused the prey's alertness.

This place is not as deserted as Shuanggui Lane, but it is safer.

There is a butcher selling dog meat living in the alley. There are more than a dozen meat dogs to be slaughtered in the yard. As long as there is a slight breeze, it may cause dogs to bark. For this reason, even birds and birds are left at the entrance of the alley.

The two of them used the sound of rain to cover up all the sounds and slowly groped at the target. When they arrived near the abandoned courtyard, they faintly saw the faint lights in the dark night.

Luo Ning focused his eyes, gently raised his slender hand, and signaled the alley on the side of the courtyard.

Seeing this, Ye Zhitang held his breath and turned to the side of the yard, and surrounded him separately to prevent the target from escaping the way.

But even though the two of them were so cautious, they underestimated the alertness of the "Wingless Owl".

Even if you temporarily settle down here, the surroundings of the abandoned house have been carefully arranged, and the enemy may approach them has been calculated.

Ye Xingtang turned into the side alley against the wall and noticed that a wooden stick was leaning against the alley. Through the slight abnormal movements of the rain, the existence of thin lines was sensed, which was obviously a trap.

After carefully observing Ye Xingtang, he paid attention to the wooden pole and wanted to bypass and sink in. He never thought that he would move his steps, but he heard from below:

"Bang~"

The sound of the rope breaking under force!

!

Ye Jingtang didn't expect that the other party would set up a mechanism of light and darkness, and his heart sank and hesitated and jumped out without hesitation.

But Shameless Owl is an old world. If you arrange hidden weapons based on the current environment, you will know how the visitor will dodge.

The moment the thin thread broke, several flying needles shot out from the dark.

Sausa--

The target of the hidden weapon is not the place where Ye Jietang is located, but the front and back steps that may be moved.

When Luo Ning heard the movement, he thought it was not good. The soft sword slid into his hand and leaned directly behind Ye Jingtang. The sword was as strong as the wind, cutting off the silver needle that was shot from the rain.

Ding Ding--

Ye Jingtang heard the sound of the silver needle breaking through the air, and his waist knife was unsheathed. He swept through the two swords, clearly shooting down all the hidden weapons that flew in.

But the afterglow passed through the shattering of the raindrops and found that an object had arrived, silently without causing any movement.

Ye Jingtang was horrified. It was too late to put away the knife, so he could only try his best to avoid the key points.

I never thought that before he moved, he was pressed on his shoulder with his slender arms and pulled him to the side, and he staggered the hidden weapon that was close to him.

Luo Ning's experience in the world is even more experienced. After the soft sword is like a peacock spreading his tail, he can't help but touch the silent black needle that she hasn't even noticed. He knows that the experience in the world is still shallow and shameless thief cannot defend himself.

Although he had a lot of opinions about whether Ye Jietang was good or not, Luo Ning did not hesitate at all. He pulled Ye Jietang away with all his strength and swept away the shadowless black needle shot from the dark with a three-foot sword.

sough--

bite--

In a hurry, a stinging pain came from his shoulder.

Luo Ning ignored it, tapped his left shoulder lightly to seal the breath hole, and at the same time he lifted his sword and jumped into the courtyard wall...
