I use deceit to create immortality

Chapter 21: Wanted for Raid (please read)

"Boom boom boom!"

An unexpected knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Jiang Ning blew out the candle in an instant and quickly put the scriptures on the table into the drawer.

He gently exerted force with his left foot, and his movements were as light as a black cat jumping in the dark night. In the blink of an eye, he hid behind the stacked bookshelves.

His field of vision had not yet fully adapted to the darkness. In panic, Jiang Ning hid in a bookcase in the corner. His back happened to be against a cold wall, and his right hand accidentally touched a long column-shaped hard object.

At this moment, Jiang Ning suddenly felt the Yin Qi in his body, as if it had been mobilized, flowing towards the right hand holding the hard object.

Upon noticing this strange feeling, he was slightly startled and quickly looked down.

Yin energy gathered in his eyes, and his vision suddenly penetrated the darkness.

The outline of objects surrounded by darkness was reflected in Jiang Ning's eyes, and gradually became clear, and he could see the details clearly.

When he lowered his head and looked down, he saw the square-shaped bronze seal of Pixiu in his hand. The lion's mouth was wide open and its fangs were sharp, which could actually absorb the Yin Qi from Jiang Ning's body.

Before Jiang Ning could react, the Yin Qi in his body was already uncontrollably leaking out of his palms, pouring into the ancient Pixiu seal like a tide.

Click!

After the ancient seal of Pixiu absorbed the Yin energy, it seemed to come to life, and its mouth suddenly closed tightly and twisted 45 degrees clockwise.

Along with the wall behind me, there was the sound of mechanical gears turning...

Jiang Ning suddenly felt that the wall against which his back was close loosened, as if there was some dark secret space hidden inside. His mind moved slightly, and he pressed his right hand against the wall and pushed with a slight force...

next second.

The wall rotated 180 degrees, just in time to send Jiang Ning into the secret room at the back.

boom!
At this moment, there was a violent noise at the door of the bookstore, and the door was suddenly pushed open with huge force.

Boom!

There was a thunder in the sky, and a heavy rain fell suddenly. The sound of rain fell through the wall and reached the secret room.

In the darkness, Jiang Ning could hear the thunder outside becoming more and more intensive, the sound of rain getting louder and louder, and the sound of footsteps dripping with rain, echoing in the empty hall, one, two... like... There were more than a dozen footsteps entering the hall.

Jiang Ning leaned tightly against the wall of the secret room that he had pushed open when he first entered. At this moment, he did not hesitate to enter the state of playing a corpse. He held his breath, restrained all vital activities in the body, and entered a state of suspended animation, but still retained his hearing. and weak vision to gain insight into what is going on around them.

Through the wall of the secret room, the movement outside could barely penetrate. Jiang Ning concentrated his mind, mobilized the Yin Qi in his body, and gathered his ears at the "Listening Palace Point", and he could barely hear the communication outside:

"The little princess is not here. Why is the palace door closed? Is anyone coming in?"

"My subordinates investigated and found that no breath of living people has entered this place."

"Why is the palace door closed?"

"This... must have been blown by the strong wind, right?"

"Hmph, the princess recently warned us that we need to strengthen the security of the palace and keep an eye on the whereabouts of the little princess. Have you ignored her words? If anything happens to the little princess, let's see how you answer with her head!"

The sound of footsteps echoed outside the secret room, but they simply patrolled back and forth and did not stay here for too long.

Jiang Ning held his breath, listening to the conversation coming from outside, and sighed deeply in his heart.

Fortunately... I don't have the aura of the living in my body. Before hiding in, I blew out the candles on the desk in time, put all the copied scriptures under the desk, and successfully destroyed the "case incident" "The scene" was disguised as a scene where no one had been, so the guards did not check it so carefully.Moreover, Jiang Ning also carefully captured that when the footsteps outside stopped at the boundary line of the desk, they no longer dared to move forward.

It seems that with the desk as the dividing line, the group of ordinary guards must not go one step further, let alone go to the bookcase area at will. They can only look outside to see if there is any unusual movement inside.

He hid in the secret room. For the time being, he was safe.

The footsteps circled around and then exited the palace door.

Before leaving, the conversation of the group of guards was captured by Jiang Ning's keen hearing through the sound of rain and the thick soundproof walls of the secret room:

"Recently, the palace has become increasingly unstable. The smelly Taoist priest wanted last time has not been found. Today, a young thief wearing sackcloth is wanted."

"If you see him, catch him immediately!"

"This is the order issued by the princess today. I am afraid that she has stolen some valuable items in the palace. I would rather kill them by mistake than let them go!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the guards left the place with neat footsteps again.

The footsteps gradually fade away...

Jiang Ning quickly took a breath of fresh air, mobilized the yin energy in his body, passed through the yin and yang wheel, and transformed into yang yuan. He suddenly felt a comfortable warmth flowing through his limbs, and his whole body became active.

He stood up, looked down at the sackcloth he was wearing, recalled the conversation before the guards left, frowned secretly and thought:

"The little thief wearing sackcloth and looking like a boy... isn't he trying to catch me?"

"Stealing valuables from the palace probably refers to the immortality seed..."

"In order to obtain the seed of immortality, the princess may have paid the price of subjugating her country. She became inhuman and ghostless. Maybe it has something to do with this thing. As the seed of immortality, I was the one who planted it. Fruit, she will definitely not let me go that easily."

"I took a walk around the market town this morning... It was so dangerous... I wasn't wanted at that time. It's probably because of the morning. My little mother may have been subject to some restrictions, so she couldn't announce the hunt for me in time. A wanted order. It’s almost dark now, and I’m gradually recovering, and my mobility may be improving..."

"I didn't expect that I, along with that Jin Yiwei, would become wanted criminals in Nan'an Town. Now, it seems that I can't go out casually, right?"

Think of it...

Jiang Ning's brows furrowed deeply, realizing that the situation might be worse than he imagined.

During the day, the princess should not be able to come out.

But as it gets closer to night, it’s hard to say…

Now she can order her subordinates to issue wanted notices. Who knows if she will have the ability to come out after a while?
Moreover, this is not a place to stay for a long time...

You know, the little mother will come to check the homework. Ordinary guards dare not approach the secret room and cannot find themselves, but that does not mean that the "mother" will not.

Jiang Ning stood up, intending to explore the secret room first, and when Xiaoxiao came back, he would quickly take the berries picked from the back mountain with her, and then leave the palace.

At this moment, his vision had completely adapted to the darkness. He stood up, patted the dust on his body, turned around, and prepared to see what kind of secrets this secret room contained.

next second...

The scene in front of him immediately made Jiang Ning completely petrified...
