"Since you don't know him, why do you suspect that he is coming at 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, but she didn't get too entangled, "Why can't you go?"

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, he had said to Zhao Ying before, 'This piece of sugar has two layers of sugar paper, let them peel the first layer first, if they lie to me, you will peel the second layer of sugar paper.' Zhao Ying may not know what candy wrapper is, but he knows that candy wrapper is his backup method of returning to ancient times.

After nodding, Zhao Ying said to the communication device on her wrist that resembled a watch, "Go and wait for me in the distance." ”

When the two spoke, the middle-aged Taoist priest was already fully dressed and was 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 shifted his gaze to Wu Zhongyuan and Zhao Ying.

Before this person moved his gaze, Wu Zhongyuan had already pulled Zhao Ying to sit down, and did not look at the middle-aged Taoist, in fact, before that, he had carefully looked at the middle-aged Taoist, this person was about forty-five years old, not tall, wearing a green sermon robe, tall and thin, his complexion was a little dark, and his hair was not thick and rolled 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, but this person didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and the whisk and long sword were always placed under the big tree behind him.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is normal for Taoist priests to walk with dust and swords, but those who really know the details know that if the long sword is opened, it will become a controlled knife, and it will be confiscated when it is seen by the police.

Moreover, the age of this person is also another reason for his suspicions, this person's age and clothing are very similar to the Taoist who exchanged the white jade from Mr. Li back then.

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.

"I don't know if it's friend or foe?" Zhao Ying asked again.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again.

"What now?" Zhao Ying said back to business, "They should already be on their way here by this time, no matter what you have to do, you have to hurry." ”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan did not mean to act immediately, Zhao Ying took the opportunity to ask what happened to the pig farm more than ten days ago, and they only knew that Wu Zhongyuan finally escaped about the events of the day, but they had no way of knowing the specific situation.

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

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

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

At this time, the sun had already set, and there were very few tourists around, and the middle-aged Taoist priest had no intention of leaving, and after dressing up, he began to meditate cross-legged under the tree.

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

"Where are you going?" asked Zhao Ying.

Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the motorcycle not far away.

Zhao Ying walked next to Wu Zhongyuan, and after taking a few steps, Wu Zhongyuan reached out and hugged her.

Zhao Ying frowned suspiciously, Wu Zhongyuan secretly gave a look, indicating that this move was deliberately done for the Taoist priest behind, 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 to the north.

Although the motorcycle is old, there is no shortage of parts, the rearview mirror is still there, and when moving forward, Wu Zhongyuan adjusted the angle of the rearview mirror to observe the situation behind, 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 also six or seven meters, and there is no bridge on the river, in such a short time, it is impossible for this person to circle over, only to jump over, and ordinary people will never jump so far.

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

After climbing over a hillside, Wu Zhongyuan stopped his motorcycle and looked south under the cover of the shrubs on the top of the slope, only to see that the middle-aged Taoist priest was moving slowly towards the peak of the mountain where the secret room was located.

The man had started his ascent from the east side of the mountain, gradually leaning towards the back of the mountain as he climbed, and after ten minutes, he stopped near the secret room.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's breathing speeding up, 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 15, he would be able to save the little wizard, could this person be the enemy who came to kill the little wizard?

If this is the case, it must be stopped immediately.

Just when he wanted to make a move, the middle-aged Taoist priest actually began to return the same way, this person did nothing, just looked from outside the secret room where the young wizard was.

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

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

After the middle-aged Taoist priest came down the mountain, he returned to the river, looked around at no one on the left and right, and began to cross the river, but this person did not jump over the river, but stepped on the water and walked over, returned to the tree where he was before, and sat down cross-legged.

Zhao Ying didn't have night vision, but by the moonlight, she also vaguely saw the other party's actions, and looked at Wu Zhongyuan in surprise, "What kind of kung fu is this?"

Waiting for her was still the same sentence, "I want to know too." ”

After the Taoist priest sat down, he did not stand up again, and kept sitting cross-legged, motionless.

The two of them lay on their stomachs from the distant hillside, and when they were tired, they sat until ten o'clock in the evening, and the Taoist priest did not make any other moves.

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 know, you notify the helicopter to withdraw to a safe position." ”

This concludes the call.

Zhao Ying looked at Wu Zhongyuan, "They have already come, and they are currently fifty miles to the east, with three cars and seven people." ”

"Let's go. Wu Zhongyuan said.

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

"yes, it's time. Wu Zhongyuan took out a lighter and set fire to a dry bush nearby.

"What are you doing here?" Zhao Ying was puzzled.

"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 want to make 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 in a group, plus you and the official, there will be four forces gathered here tonight." ”

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

"Go to the secret room," Wu Zhongyuan stepped onto the motorcycle, "I have always wanted to determine whether that Taoist priest and the other two people are friends or foes, but unfortunately until now I have no clue, there is no way, I can only expose myself, know my identity, they will do what they have to do." ”

"If it's your opponent, they'll attack you. Zhao Ying sat up.

"If it were my friend, they would help me too. Wu Zhongyuan started his motorcycle and drove towards the mountain.

"You lit the bonfire too early, you should have lit it from there when you got to your destination. Zhao Ying said.

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

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

"In. Wu Zhongyuan said.

Zhao Ying brought two pistols and loaded them all, one pinned to his waist and the other in his hand.

Wu Zhongyuan has night vision, and he doesn't need to turn on the lights when riding a bicycle at night.

When he was still three miles from the peak, the Taoist priest under the tree downstream stood up. At the same time, Wu Zhongyuan heard the faint and rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, turned his head to look back, and saw two horses galloping towards this place in the northeast.

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

When climbing, he turned his head and looked back, only to see that the middle-aged Taoist priest had 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 arrived at the foot of the mountain at this time, and was using his body to fly to the mountainside where the secret room was located.

A moment later, the three of them came one after another, the middle-aged Taoist was ten steps away from Wu Zhongyuan's right side, and the two middle-aged men in Tibetan robes stopped not far from Wu Zhongyuan's left.

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

The two middle-aged men looked solemn, frowning at Wu Zhongyuan and the middle-aged Taoist, the expressions of the two were seen by Wu Zhongyuan, and the eyes of the two looked at him and the middle-aged Taoist priest with doubts, which showed that they had not only not seen him before, but also had not 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, and he also frowned, but he looked at the two middle-aged men with a solemn expression, and when he looked at him, his eyes were full of doubts, in addition to doubts, there were also a little other things, a little like nervousness, or excitement.

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

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

The situation at this time is very dangerous and very delicate, Wu Zhongyuan doesn't know the middle-aged Taoist, nor does he know these two middle-aged men, he only knows that the three of them are not in a group.

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

And the middle-aged Taoist didn't know Wu Zhongyuan, but he seemed to know the origin of these two middle-aged men, and it should be the identities of him and Zhao Ying who were puzzled at this time.

Now the most dominant of the three parties was the middle-aged Daoist, because he probably knew the origin 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 in their hands did not have a deterrent effect, and neither the two middle-aged men nor the middle-aged Taoist showed fear, nor did anyone answer her questions.

"Who are you?" said the man who had been tending sheep during the day.

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 replaced Mr. Li's piece of white jade, because this person's accent was very strange, not the accent of the north, nor the tone of the southerners.

"What are you looking for?" the middle-aged Taoist priest asked in a cold voice.

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

"What are you doing here?" asked the sheep herder.

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

"I'm asking you!" the sheep herding man raised his voice.

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

"And so on. Wu Zhongyuan said.

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

"People who come home. Wu Zhongyuan said.

As soon as Wu Zhongyuan's words fell, the middle-aged Taoist priest suddenly became difficult, drew his sword out of the sheath, and bullied himself and stabbed him.

Seeing that the other party made a move, Zhao Ying decisively shot, but the middle-aged Taoist had a strange technique, and when he moved, he dragged several humanoid phantoms, and shot two shots in a row, and at this time, the middle-aged Taoist had already arrived close to the two of them, and the long sword went straight to Wu Zhongyuan's left chest and atrium.

The middle-aged Daoist was so fast that Wu Zhongyuan didn't even have time to react, seeing that the long sword was about to pass through his chest, a thick palm flashed and grabbed the blade of the long sword.

It was the man who grabbed the long sword, who was practicing kung fu perfectly, and directly grabbed the sharp sword blade with his palm, and then shook his arm to break the long sword.

The middle-aged Taoist long sword was lost, and immediately retreated, Zhao Ying acted decisively, and took the opportunity to fire two more shots, but it still did not hit.

"Get out of the way," the man who herded the sheep pushed Zhao Ying away and rushed towards the middle-aged Taoist, "Senior brother, I'll deal with him, you check the token and verify the ...... of your body."
