"We've found it!"
Cat excitedly pulled out a can of food that had long expired, looked at it strangely, and asked, "Why is Fifth Zhen hiding something? Was he very poor when he was a child?"
Mu Jin glanced at it and said, "No, he used to eat a lot when he was little. I told him this was a treasure bowl, and he believed me, thinking it could produce even more."
The cat took something out of the soil and looked at it from left to right. Although it was rusty, the strips of cloth on it were still clearly visible. It was a hair clip.
"Does Fifth really have such unique tastes? Does he want an endless supply of hair clips?" Cat shook the hair clip, feeling that it was a little abnormal.
I never expected that the Fifth True Man, who seems so tough on the surface, would actually have such a girlish heart.
Mu Jin glanced at it and said, "I don't know."
Fifth Zhen buried quite a few things in this flowerpot. Before long, the cat found a small radio and film rolls inside. However, after many years, these things, buried in the soil, were no longer usable.
"Fifth was really silly when he was little." Cat sighed sincerely. He buried so many strange things, but couldn't conjure up any more, and he even broke them all.
After a while, Mu Jin stopped digging, took out a box wrapped in cloth, opened it and found it was the Lu Ban Box!
"Wow, we found it!" The cat was a little excited. Now their mischief for today was done.
Fifth Zhen seems to value this box quite a bit, as he even wrapped it in a cloth bag.
Mu Jin immediately opened the Lu Ban box, took out the bamboo pieces inside, restored the box to its original state, and buried it in the flowerpot.
"Won't Fifth Realm find out?" the cat asked.
Mu Jin quickly buried the other items as well, saying, "Unless he can open the box."
The mechanisms of the Luban Box, except for the startling gate and the wind gate, cannot be opened by others. Therefore, the box is idle even if it is in someone else's hands.
After cleaning up the last traces, Mu Jin walked back to the window. "Let's go."
The cat jumped onto the windowsill. Mu Jin was going to lower a rope to help her down, but the cat waved her hand and jumped down first. This height was no different from flat ground for her.
Cat stood below, stretched out her hands, and looked up with a grin, as if to catch Mu Jin.
Mu Jin closed the window, used a wire to close the hook inside, turned around, was speechless for a moment, moved to the side and jumped down.
Before long, the two passed through the outer protective netting and quickly returned to where the car was parked.
Nan Jue yawned into his headset. "It's over. Can I go to sleep now?"
Mu Jin hummed in agreement and took off her headset.
Cat looked back and saw that the fifth family's security team was still patrolling.
...
Jiu Yebai stared at the map. Sure enough, the cat went to the major's house and came out after only ten minutes. But a lot can be done in ten minutes!
He shut down his computer in a daze. This matter... didn't need to be reported to the major, did it?
More than an hour later, the cat returned.
Jiu Yebai had been waiting for her, and as soon as he saw her return, he immediately put down his phone.
"Kitty! What did you do at the major's house?" Jiu Yebai asked immediately.
The cat glanced at him and said, "Oh, you guessed it."
Jiu Yebai said speechlessly, "You're the one who made me guess."
The cat took out the last piece of bamboo and then took out the box it had brought back from the sinkhole.
Jiu Yebai immediately leaned closer, waiting to witness a miracle, but he still asked curiously, "Did you go to the major's house alone?"
Cat: "Guess."
Jiu Yebai said, "Mu Jin was probably involved in stealing this, right? Did you go with him?"
Cat: "You guessed right again."
Jiu Yebai was a little embarrassed; the cat was testing him! But was he really that stupid? It was easy to guess!
"Why didn't Mu Jin take this thing?" This is what Jiu Yebai found strange.
The cat had already pieced all eight bamboo strips together on the box. "Ah Jin said I can play with them first."
"..."
Is it really that casual?
Suddenly, the box made a few clicking sounds and quickly opened!
Inside the box were eight thread-bound books. The cat took them out and looked at them; they were indeed the Eight Secret Techniques! These were all torn from the original Eight Secret Techniques, and the marks from when they were torn were still visible.
The cat found half of the "Surprise Gate" and "Important Gate" chapters, and after just one glance, they matched perfectly.
Jiu Yebai also took the half of the "Gate of Shock" and couldn't understand it at all. "This is too profound."
The cat said dismissively, "You haven't even learned the first half, let alone the second half."
Jiu Yebai couldn't help but ask, "What about my older brother?"
The cat nodded. "If he can do it, Dad should be able to too."
Jiu Yebai was a little discouraged, and he decided that he had to work even harder!
The cat took the eight fragments and the box and went upstairs.
Jiu Yebai, having been provoked, went to the backyard to practice his skills.
...
In the study, Maomao combined the half of the "Surprise Gate" with the original half, flipped through it from beginning to end, and whispered, "It's pretty much what I predicted, just a bit more detailed."
The most important element of the gate, "a mirage," is now complete.
Cat looked at the other books, and they were all quite interesting, each with its own strengths, especially the floating doors.
Although the Piaomen sect incorporates a wide variety of elements, including swindles and deceptions, its foundation lies in knowledge. The Piaomen sect possesses the largest collection of both recorded and unrecorded materials from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign.
This explains why the Song family patriarch was so enthusiastic about scientific expeditions.
She focused on the secret techniques of the Floating Gate and discovered some strange things. The Floating Gate's "Hundred Flowers Formation" was unique among the eight gates and almost no one could break it.
However, the true power of the Hundred Flowers Formation lies in the half-section she possesses. She had seen Song Sifan use the Hundred Flowers Formation before, and although his proficiency was somewhat lacking, it was already complete.
If he was sealed away, how did he know?
Unable to figure it out, the cat stopped in time and studied the Hundred Flowers Formation.
She could use the first part of "The General Outline of the Gate of Shock" to guess the second part, and of course she could use the second part to guess the first part. Moreover, "The General Outline of the Gate of Shock" is all-encompassing and even complements other parts of the same school.
This is why the Shock Gate used to hold such a high position among the Eight Gates, because the secret techniques of the other seven gates had no absolute counter to the Shock Gate.
Ah Jin is so comfortable entrusting the Eight Gates Secret Techniques to her, isn't he afraid she'll steal them?
Regardless, the cat had looked at everything, and once it was in her hands, there was no reason for her to let it go! Since her own power was sealed, she needed to learn some self-defense skills; it's always good to have more skills.
Finally, she took out half of the "Surprising Gate" text, put the rest back in the box, and would give it to Mu Jin tomorrow.
She had just finished doing all that when Jiu Yunchi pushed the door open and came in.
He spotted the box immediately. "You opened it?"
Cat took out all the bamboo pieces and nodded. "Yes, we also stole the key to the fifth house."
