Start from the thief

Now it was Zhao Yushu's turn to be choked: "Did you also go through the backdoor?"

I'm a little confused, you used the word "also" very cleverly.

"Come to think of it, why did you come to see me? Oh, how did you find me?" Zhao Yushu sat down on the bed and stretched out his hand. The eldest brother handed him the pipe.

"It's not difficult to find you. Your name, Zhao Yushu, is very famous in the academy. In the history of the academy, no scholar has dared to be late on the first day."

Zhao Yushu wanted to explain, but then he thought, it was indeed his fault. The senior student had given him a favor, and the big-eyed girl had strictly followed the rules of the academy, so he couldn't blame her.

"Brother, shouldn't you tell me your identity now?" Zhao Yushu handed over the pipe.

"My name is Gu Changfeng. I entered the academy about ten years ago. Now, I occasionally help out in the academy."

“Oh, you haven’t graduated yet.”

The eldest brother thought he should smoke his pipe

"Old Gu, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"It's a small matter. It depends on whether you are willing to help. Of course, there will be rewards."

"I'm just an ordinary freshman, how can I help?"

"How is it ordinary? Isn't it the outdoor scene of the first level of heaven?" The eldest brother took the pipe with a smile and took a puff.

Zhao Yushu's hair stood on end, and his legs subconsciously moved. Then the senior brother looked at his legs, and his legs could no longer move.

"What kind of footwork do you want to use?"

Zhao Yushu felt a chill in his heart. He had never felt this fear before when he faced the man in black.

"Glimpses"

“It’s a good way to cover it up.”

It's over, it's all over, everything is revealed

"Learning silver needles, is it for fingering?"

Zhao Yushu did not answer

The eldest brother smiled and said: "Very good, very suitable, but I am afraid it will be too late, at most there is only one night left."

"What do you mean, are you going to take me to be beheaded tomorrow morning?" Since he couldn't escape anyway, Zhao Yushu decided to just stay single.

"You have a whole night tonight to practice your fingering and footwork. Tomorrow morning, I will give you something to do."

"What can you learn in one night!" Zhao Yushu was furious

"Maybe it won't be used, but it will be useful if you practice a little. It's up to you whether you want to practice or not. See you tomorrow morning." The eldest brother blew a smoke ring. This was what Zhao Yushu taught him yesterday. He just learned it and was very proud of it.

The smoke dissipated, and the eldest brother was gone.

No choice but to run away. Zhao Yushu quickly checked his belongings and prepared to flee overnight, then slapped his head hard.

Why should I run? How can I outrun him? It's obvious that this Gu Changfeng, whose name is also very charming, must be from Tianji Pavilion. Otherwise, how could he come so brazenly in the academy to scare me?

If the people from Tianji Pavilion want to kill me, even if Jade Rat is resurrected, he won't be able to escape.

And there is something for me to do tomorrow, which proves that I am useful to them. Adding to what Meng Yan said, tomorrow's matter is probably another test.

Damn, why do you keep testing? I don't want to join your Tianji Pavilion.

Well, I did think about it, but shouldn't there be some kind of announcement to the world, and then the elites from all over the world would come together to climb the mountain to solve the code or something, and then in the end, I would be the last one to leave them all behind and defeat some prince who is known as a genius, and a bunch of senior brothers and sisters would applaud and welcome me at the top of the mountain?

Now what is this routine?

One night, right? I can't even hold the needle firmly and recognize all the acupuncture points during one night. What's the point?

Then don't practice

Lao Zhao quickly changed his mind. Since his previous life, he had never been a very conservative person and never wasted too much time on things that could not be completed.

If one path is temporarily blocked, and you don’t have enough time, then change your thinking decisively.

There are obstacles in combining Fleeting Light and Stepping Shadow Steps, right? Then I will separate them first and then combine them again; you can't recognize all the acupoints, right? Then can I just pierce one place?

Finally, Zhao Yushu took out a book from his arms and sighed. He thought he would never read this book, but now he urgently needs to improve his strength, even if it is just a little bit.

As for my current cultivation, this is probably the thing that can help me the most in a very short period of time.

Zhao Yushu stroked the cover of "A Hundred Solutions to Mechanisms"

Most mechanisms don't rely on pure spiritual power to hurt people, but rely on cleverness, just like the door lock of the royal palace treasury. A small five-thunder formation can block a master like Hei Yi from the door, but it is useless to Yu Shu, a scumbag among the cultivators, who can't even hold out for a minute.

Similarly, with the foundation of the Jade Rat, as long as he has a little knowledge of mechanical arts, he will be able to crack or set up many small traps that do not require much spiritual power but are very practical.

No matter what the so-called mission is tomorrow, I have a little trick to set up traps at any time, which is likely to be of great help at the critical moment.

There are five hours left until dawn.

Old Zhao lay down on the bed and fell asleep

On the top floor of the academy's library, the eldest senior brother faced the night wind, his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. His gaze passed through the entire academy, penetrated the black tile roof, and fell on Zhao Yushu who was sleeping soundly on the bed.

"Brother, what is he doing now?" Meng Yan stood behind the eldest brother, with only the boundless night sky and a few lights in the academy in front of him.

"go to bed"

"Sleeping? He can still sleep at this time?" Meng Yan was a little surprised.

"I'm not surprised at what he does now." The eldest senior brother retracted his gaze and said, "I'm going to stay with Prince Fu for a few days. You and Ali will take care of the academy."

Meng Yan hesitated for a moment: "Second Senior Sister said she wanted to go too"

The eldest brother shook his head: "Then she should come and tell me in person"

"She knew that the eldest brother would not let her go."

The eldest brother's heart skipped a beat: "So?"

“So she’s gone.”

The night wind blew, and Meng Yan was the only one left upstairs.

Meng Yan felt like crying. Why did you all ask me to pass on the message? When will you come back, Lao Wu? I miss you.

Two hours later, Zhao Yushu suddenly opened his eyes, got up quietly, and walked towards the training ground carrying the wooden man.

After half an hour of glimpses, I got familiar with the rhythm of my breathing between the changing steps.

Step on the shadow for half an hour, trying to open the shadow world without concentrating too much.

One hour of fingering, or acupuncture, without practicing anything else, only piercing the Tanzhong point, what matters is speed and accuracy.

In the last hour, I used the dim morning light to memorize the most commonly used and simple traps in the traps. I didn't have time to practice, so I could only memorize them in my mind.

When the bell rings

Zhao Yushu walked out of the gate of the training ground, and Meng Yan stood outside the gate.

“I thought it would be Lao Gu.”

"It should have been him, but the eldest brother had something urgent to do."

"It turned out to be the eldest brother"

Meng Yan turned and walked towards the food court: "What do you want to ask?"

Lao Zhao scratched his head and said, "At least tell me what the main task is. If it's convenient, tell me the reward too."

Meng Yan thought, what is the main plot? But he didn't ask: "When you first arrived in Dongdu, ten miles outside the west gate, you stayed in the teahouse for a while."

Old Zhao yelled, "It's just two cents, and you're bringing a complaint to the academy? Didn't someone pay for it for me?"

Meng Yan slapped Lao Zhao on the head with his folding fan: "Shut up and listen to me"

Old Zhao covered his head and dared not say a word.

"The person who invited you to tea has been kidnapped"

"It's not me, I didn't!"

Meng Yan had a headache, wondering if the senior brother had picked the wrong person. The folding fan was raised again.

Lao Zhao hurriedly hugged his head and said, "I'll shut up, you talk."

"You have two days, before dawn the day after tomorrow, to find him. If he is still alive, try not to let him die."
