Chapter 374: The Arrogant Thief
Xu Zhenfeng looked up with some envy at the huge sand table weighing more than ten thousand kilograms that was still floating above the lobby of Jingmiao Pavilion.
I wonder what magic Master Wu used to make such a huge and heavy sand table float steadily in the air for such a long time?
Then he looked down at the place where the sand table was originally placed. Various runes were engraved on the blue bricks that were originally pressed down.
"Boss Wu, what are the runes on these bricks used for?"
Seeing that he was still asking about the runes at this time, Wu was displeased, but he replied in a low voice: "These are runes that stabilize the sand table. No matter how fiercely the two puppets fight in the sand table, with these runes, the sand table will remain stable."
Xu Zhenfeng nodded, pointed at the gap between the blue bricks that had been broken into powder by some unknown method, and said, "There should be runes on that blue brick, right? It must have been broken a long time ago, but the sand table has not changed much in these days, right?"
After hearing Xu Zhenfeng's question, Manager Wu was stunned for a moment. He carefully observed the blue brick powder and found that it definitely did not become like this in just one or two days.
I'm afraid this blue brick was already like this when Jingmiao Pavilion was robbed for the first time.
But the sand table has not changed at all over this long.
It was when the big gold pecked at the edge of the sand table that the magic weapon suddenly malfunctioned and the puppet stopped attacking.
Manager Wu is an extremely intelligent person, otherwise he would not have been able to achieve heavenly level cultivation and lead a branch of Jingmiao Pavilion in a big city.
In just a moment, he figured it out.
The thief who stole the magic weapon was probably lurking under the sand table and slipped out from underneath to steal the magic weapon.
He destroyed the runes that stabilized the sandbox, yet he kept it running smoothly for so long without any glitches.
This thief is not just an expert at earth escape and invisibility, he is also proficient in the art of runes.
He is proficient in earth escape techniques, invisibility techniques, and the art of runes.
How could such a genius be willing to be a thief? And specifically steal from Jingmiao Pavilion?
In this world, there is no cultivator who can master any of the thief's techniques.
They will be regarded as guest elders by major sects or semi-business, semi-cultivation organizations such as Jingmiao Pavilion, and even invited into the sect.
But this guy actually degraded himself and became a thief?
He also insisted that the Jingmiaoge family came to steal.
"Master Wu, before the magic weapon was stolen, did your branch offend any cultivators? Or anyone else? Even ordinary people."
Xu Zhenfeng asked.
Manager Wu raised his head and recalled with a somewhat dazed look in his eyes.
He thought for a long time but couldn't think of anyone that Jingmiao Pavilion had ever offended, or anyone who seemed ordinary.
Jingmiao Pavilion is open for business, and unless it is absolutely necessary, there is no way they would offend anyone, no matter if they are monks of any size, or ordinary people.
Seeing that Manager Wu couldn't think of a solution, Xu Zhenfeng reminded him to ask the deacons in the pavilion.
And the waiters, anyone who works in this hall, must be questioned clearly.
It had been a noisy night and now it was almost dawn. The monks of Jingmiao Pavilion relaxed their vigilance when they saw the sky was getting white.
Even Xu Zhenfeng felt that it was almost dawn. The thief had been frightened tonight and his whereabouts had just been discovered, so he would not act rashly again for the time being.
He was preparing to return to the courtyard with Big Bear and the three monsters to rest, calm down, and sort out his thoughts.
Suddenly, a series of surprised shouts were heard from the third floor.
Then a monk did not bother to run downstairs, and jumped directly from the third floor window to the first floor door, and shouted to Wu the headmaster in the lobby:
"Master, another magical weapon was stolen just now."
When Manager Wu heard this, he disappeared instantly.
Xu Zhenfeng and Xiong Da also hurried to the third floor.
When they arrived at the third floor, they saw Manager Wu circling around the shelves that had just been moved to the third floor.
There was a vacant space on the third shelf of one of the shelves.
A monk was reporting to Master Wu.
"We followed the orders of the headmaster and stayed here without even taking our eyes off him. But the magic weapon suddenly disappeared, just like before. There was no sign or trace."
Manager Wu's expression became even more gloomy. His eyes swept between the shelves, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out.
Xu Zhenfeng looked at the location of the shelf. It was among many shelves, neither close to the stairs nor close to the window.
When the thief stole the magic weapon, he didn't seem to consider how to escape more conveniently and quickly.
He just followed his own heart and stole whatever he wanted to steal. He didn't consider anything else.
The corners of Xu Zhenfeng's mouth twitched a little. Haha, he is really a very conceited thief.
