Origin

"Since you don't know him, why do you suspect that he is here for you?" Zhao Ying was puzzled.

"There are very few people here who believe in Taoism, and Taoist priests will not come here." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

Zhao Ying was naturally dissatisfied with this answer, which was simply a matter of consideration. But she didn't get too hung up on it, "Why can't you leave? The second layer of candy wrappers is nearby?"

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. He had said to Zhao Ying before, "This piece of candy has two layers of wrappers. Let them peel off the first layer first. If they lie to me, you will peel off the second layer of wrappers." ’ Zhao Ying may not know what candy wrappers are, but she knows that candy wrappers are his backup method for returning to ancient times.

After nodding, Zhao Ying said to the communication device on her wrist that looked like a watch, "Wait for me in the distance."

When the two were talking, the middle-aged Taoist priest was already dressed and sitting under the tree, tilting his head to look at the helicopter that sent Zhao Ying over.

After the helicopter flew away, the middle-aged Taoist priest turned his attention to Wu Zhongyuan and Zhao Ying.

Before the man moved his gaze, Wu Zhongyuan had already pulled Zhao Ying and sat down without looking at the middle-aged Taoist priest. In fact, before that, he had carefully looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest, who was about forty-five years old. He is about 15 years old, not tall, and wears a green preacher's robe. He is tall and thin, with a dark complexion. His hair, which is not thick, is tied into a bun on the top of his head.

In addition to a small black baggage, this person also carried a whisk and a long sword. However, this person seemed to have no intention of leaving. The whisk and long sword were kept under the big tree behind him.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is normal for a Taoist priest to travel around with a fly whisk and a sword, but anyone who really knows the details knows that if a long sword has an edge, it becomes a controlled knife, and if the police see it, it will be punished. Confiscated.

Furthermore, the man's age was another reason for his suspicion. The man's age and clothing were very similar to the Taoist who had exchanged the white jade from Mr. Li.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had been observing the Taoist priest on the other side of the river from the corner of his eye, Zhao Ying asked, "You really don't know him?"

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.

"You don't know whether it's an enemy or a friend?" Zhao Ying asked again.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again.

"What should we do now?" Zhao Ying returned to the topic, "They should be on their way here by now. No matter what you want to do, you must hurry up."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had no intention of taking action immediately, Zhao Ying took the opportunity to ask what happened at the pig farm more than ten days ago. Regarding what happened that day, they only knew that Wu Zhongyuan escaped in the end, but they had no way of knowing the specific details.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't explain much. He was silent for a long time and said, "They want to arrest me." ’

Zhao Ying didn't ask any more questions and sat quietly next to Wu Zhongyuan, waiting for him to make a decision.

Zhao Ying thought Wu Zhongyuan was thinking nervously, but in fact Wu Zhongyuan didn't think about anything. He was waiting, observing every move of the Taoist priest downstream while waiting.

By this time, the sun had set, and there were very few tourists around. The middle-aged Taoist priest had no intention of leaving. After getting dressed, he began to sit cross-legged under the tree and meditate.

After waiting for a while, only the two of them and the Taoist priest downstream were left nearby. No movement was seen from the Taoist priest. Wu Zhongyuan stood up and said, "Let's go, get out of here first."

"Where to go?" Zhao Ying asked.

Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the motorcycle not far away.

Zhao Ying walked next to Wu Zhongyuan,

After taking a few steps, Wu Zhongyuan put his arms around her.

Zhao Ying frowned in confusion, and Wu Zhongyuan secretly winked, indicating that this move was done deliberately to show the Taoist priest behind him. Zhao Ying understood and hugged Wu Zhongyuan's waist.

When he arrived at the place where the motorcycle was parked, Wu Zhongyuan started the motorcycle and drove Zhao Ying north.

Although the motorcycle was old, it had no shortage of parts, and the rearview mirror was still there. As Wu Zhongyuan moved forward, he adjusted the angle of the rearview mirror to observe the situation behind him, but was surprised to find that the Taoist priest had reached this side of the river at some point.

Although the river is not particularly wide, it is still six or seven meters long, and there are no bridges on the river. It is impossible for this person to circle around it in such a short time, he can only jump across it. Ordinary people would never be able to jump such a distance.

In addition, as soon as the two left, the middle-aged Taoist priest immediately took action, which showed that this person had been waiting for the tourists to leave. In other words, he did not want others to see what he was going to do next.

After climbing over a hillside, Wu Zhongyuan stopped his motorcycle and looked south through the cover of the shrubs on the top of the slope. He saw the middle-aged Taoist priest moving slowly towards the mountain where the secret chamber was located.

This person started climbing from the east side of the mountain. While climbing, he gradually moved towards the back side of the mountain. After ten minutes, he stopped near the secret room.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's breathing quicken, Zhao Ying vaguely guessed something, "Where is the sugar?"

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. According to the inscription, if he could get here before sunset on April 15th, he could save the little wizard. Could this person be the enemy who came to kill the little wizard?

If this is the case, you must stop it immediately.

Just when he wanted to take action, the middle-aged Taoist priest started to return the same way. This man did nothing but took a look outside the secret room where the young wizard was.

"What does he want to do?" Zhao Ying looked at Wu Zhongyuan in confusion.

"I want to know too." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

The middle-aged Taoist priest returned to the river after going down the mountain. He looked around and saw no one around, and began to cross the river. However, this man did not jump across the river, but stepped on the water and walked over, returning to the tree where he was before. Under the tree, he sat down cross-legged.

Zhao Ying did not have night vision, but through the moonlight, she could vaguely see the other party's actions, and looked at Wu Zhongyuan in surprise, "What kind of kung fu is this?"

What was waiting for her was still the same, "I want to know too."

The Taoist priest did not stand up again after he sat down. He kept sitting cross-legged, motionless.

The two of them lay down on the hillside in the distance, and sat down when they got tired. They waited until after ten o'clock in the evening, and the Taoist priest did nothing else.

At half past ten, the communication device on Zhao Ying's wrist vibrated slightly. This communication device was connected to the headset she was wearing. Zhao Ying clicked on the communication device, "Huh?"

I couldn't hear what the other party said, I only heard Zhao Ying say again, "Well, I understand, you tell the helicopter to evacuate to a safe location."

The call ends here.

Zhao Ying looked at Wu Zhongyuan, "They are already here. They are currently fifty miles away to the east. There are three cars and seven people."

"You should leave quickly." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Zhao Ying did not answer Wu Zhongyuan's words, "No matter what you want to do, now is the time."

"Yeah, it's time." Wu Zhongyuan took out a lighter and lit a nearby dry bush.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Ying was confused.

"In addition to the mysterious Taoist priest downstream, there are two other people who also know the location of the secret room. They have been secretly guarding the secret room. I will light a fire to lure them over," Wu Zhongyuan said and walked towards the motorcycle. "That Taoist priest and the other two people should not be A group of people, plus you and the official, there will be four forces gathered here tonight."

"Where are you going now?" Zhao Ying asked.

"Go to the secret room," Wu Zhongyuan got on the motorcycle, "I have always wanted to determine whether the Taoist priest and the other two people are friends or foes. Unfortunately, I have no clue until now. I have no choice but to expose myself. Got it? With my identity, they will do what they should do.”

"If they are your opponents, they will attack you." Zhao Ying sat up.

"If they were my friends, they would also help me." Wu Zhongyuan started his motorcycle and drove towards the mountain peak.

"You lit the bonfire too early. You should light it from there after you arrive at your destination." Zhao Ying said.

"I hope the other two people can see the bonfire in advance and come here early," Wu Zhongyuan said, "I don't know who is a friend and who is an enemy. It will be safer for me to shorten the time interval between them. .”

"Do you still have the pistol I gave you before?" Zhao Ying took out the pistol and loaded it.

"Here." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Zhao Ying brought two pistols, loaded both pistols, put one on her waist and held the other in her hand.

Wu Zhongyuan has night vision and does not need to turn on the lights when riding at night.

When he was still three miles away from the mountain peak, the Taoist priest under the tree downstream stood up. At the same time, Wu Zhongyuan heard the subtle and rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance, turned his head and looked back, and saw two horses galloping towards here in the northeast.

Wu Zhongyuan rode his motorcycle directly to the foot of the mountain, then gave up the motorcycle and climbed the mountain with Zhao Ying.

While climbing, I turned around and looked back, and saw that the middle-aged Taoist priest had already crossed the river, and the two galloping horses were only three miles away.

A few minutes later, Wu Zhongyuan and Zhao Ying rushed to the secret room. The middle-aged Taoist priest had already arrived at the foot of the mountain and was using his skills to fly towards the mountainside where the secret room was. The two men who arrived on horseback were later than the middle-aged Taoist priest. After a while, he saw someone flying up the mountain. In desperation, he abandoned his horse and used Qinggong to chase after him.

After a while, three people arrived one after another. The middle-aged Taoist was ten steps away to the right of Wu Zhongyuan, while the two middle-aged men wearing Tibetan robes stopped not far to the left of Wu Zhongyuan.

None of the three parties took the initiative to speak. You looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at him. One of these two middle-aged men he had seen during the day, and the other was thin and a bit shorter.

The two middle-aged men looked at Wu Zhongyuan and the middle-aged Taoist priest with solemn expressions and frowned. Wu Zhongyuan noticed their expressions. The two men looked at him and the middle-aged Taoist priest with doubts in their eyes. It was explained that not only had they not seen him before, they had also never seen this middle-aged Taoist priest.

The expression of the middle-aged Taoist priest was somewhat similar to that of the two middle-aged men. He also frowned, but when he looked at the two middle-aged men, his expression was solemn, and when he looked at him, his eyes were full of doubts, except Doubt, but also something else, a bit like nervousness, maybe excitement.

The silent observation and confrontation was quickly broken by Zhao Ying, "Who are you?"

Zhao Ying's words drew the attention of three people to her at the same time, but the three of them just looked at her and no one answered.

The situation at this time was very dangerous and very subtle. Wu Zhongyuan didn't know the middle-aged Taoist, nor did he know these two middle-aged men. He only knew that the three of them were not in the same group.

The two middle-aged men didn't know Wu Zhongyuan, and they didn't seem to know the middle-aged Taoist either. They should be wondering who they were at this time.

The middle-aged Taoist didn't know Wu Zhongyuan, but he seemed to know the origins of these two middle-aged men. The people who were confused at this time should be his and Zhao Ying's identities.

Now the middle-aged Taoist has the most advantage among the three parties, because he probably knows the origins of these two middle-aged men.

"Who are you?" Zhao Ying pulled out another pistol, holding the gun in both hands, ready to shoot at any time.

The two guns were in hand, but they did not act as a deterrent. Neither the two middle-aged men nor the middle-aged Taoist showed any fear, and no one answered her questions.

"Who are you?" The man who was herding sheep during the day spoke.

No one answered his question.

"What are you doing here?" The middle-aged Taoist looked directly at Wu Zhongyuan.

As soon as this person spoke, Wu Zhongyuan immediately determined that this person was the Taoist priest who had taken away Mr. Li's white jade, because this person's accent was very strange, not a northern accent, nor a southern accent.

"What are you looking for?" the middle-aged Taoist priest asked coldly.

"What are you looking for?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"What are you doing here?" the man herding sheep asked loudly.

Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at the man herding sheep, "What are you waiting for?"

"I'm asking you a question!" the sheepherder raised his voice.

Another thin middle-aged man raised his hand to the man herding sheep, then turned to look at Wu Zhongyuan and asked in a deep voice, "What are we waiting for?"

"Waiting for someone." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Who are we waiting for?" the thin man asked.

"People who are going home." Wu Zhongyuan said.

As soon as Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, the middle-aged Taoist priest suddenly took action, unsheathed his sword and thrust forward.

Seeing the opponent taking action, Zhao Ying shot decisively, but the middle-aged Taoist's physical skills were strange. When he moved, he dragged several humanoid shadows with him, and missed the target with two consecutive shots. At this time, the middle-aged Taoist had already reached the two men, holding his long sword. Take Wu Zhongyuan's left chest and atrium directly.

The middle-aged Taoist was so fast that Wu Zhongyuan didn't even have time to react. Just as the sword was about to pass through his chest, a thick palm came with lightning and grabbed the edge of the sword.

The man who grabbed the long sword was the man who was herding sheep. This man was a proficient in kung fu. He directly grabbed the sharp edge of the sword with his flesh palm, then raised his arm and exerted force, breaking the long sword in the middle.

The middle-aged Taoist lost his sword and immediately retreated. Zhao Ying acted decisively and took the opportunity to fire two more shots, but still failed to hit.

"Get out of the way," the man who was herding sheep pushed Zhao Ying away and rushed towards the middle-aged Taoist, "Brother, I will deal with him. You check the token to verify your identity..."
