Chapter 22: The Hunt Begins
Tong'an They took out the dry food they brought with them, and were about to distribute it to the three little monks, when they saw a group of people running over in the distance, with fluttering robes, about one or two dozen people, it should be the group of Taoist priests who stopped on the way up the mountain. As if they were facing a great enemy, they immediately opened their posture and prepared to do a big job. The three of them, Zhu Xiyi and Liu Yi, quietly hid in the bushes not far away, and as soon as these people came, they cut off their retreat, came to catch turtles in an urn, and taught these bullying dogs a good lesson. Skinny monkeys, mosquitoes, orchids, and leafy forests are at the forefront, ready to deal with it head-on; Tong An and Orange distanced themselves from them and stood on the left side; Straw Bale and Fat Lai stood on the right side, waiting for an opportunity to close; Yiwu and Tian Xing protected the three little monks, standing at the back, supporting at any time. The hunting formation has been formed, just waiting for the prey to enter the net.
"Senior brother, it was these people who slipped up while you were eating." A little Taoist boy pointed at Tong'an and whispered to the older Taoist priest.
Standing at the forefront, the Taoist priest known as the senior brother, the bridge of his nose collapsed, he looked at the crowd with his small eyes, swept it, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the broken stupa on the ground, and was very excited, and asked them happily: "You overthrew this relict stupa?" ”
"We pushed it, what's wrong?!" The mosquito said in a bad tone and a little provocatively.
"Oh, you really pushed it, not bad, not bad." The Daoist priest said, stood on tiptoe and looked at the three little monks behind them, tilted his head and shouted at the little monk: "I said, you three little bald donkeys, your precious stone tower has been overthrown by others, what are you doing this time?" Where did all your crazy energy go? Yes?! ”
Seeing that the three little monks didn't pay attention to him, the Taoist priest said to himself: "I'm bored, if we touch this stone tower, you will fight with us to the death, these people have knocked down the stone tower and broken it, but you don't speak, it's really strange." ”
When the mosquito heard the Taoist priest's chatter, he felt noisy and said impatiently, "Is there something wrong with you?" If you have nothing to do, you can leave quickly, and you don't see us busy? ”
"Don't worry, little brother, if you want to destroy this small temple, we can also give you a helper. Or leave these three bald asses alone, they'll starve to death in two days anyway. The Taoist priest with a collapsed nose thought that the mosquitoes were also here to clean up the monk.
The mosquito was about to say, get out of the house if it's okay, but before he could say anything, he heard the little Taoist boy next to the Taoist priest shouting: "Don't give them food?" The little Taoist priest saw Yiwu hand the dry food in his hand to the three little monks.
Other Taoist priests also saw this scene and immediately rushed over to stop it. Before they could get to the front, the mosquitoes who were blocking the front waited for the four people to sweep the hall one by one, and four or five Taoist priests fell. The four people on both sides, including Tong'an and Caobao, also surrounded them, and the three people who were in charge of shrinking the pockets also quietly surrounded them, and the encirclement had been reduced. The battle began, and the four people on both sides continued to squeeze the movement space of this group of people, and some of them either punched the head or kicked horizontally; The four mosquitoes lined up in an infantry advance formation and slowly moved forward; The three people who sealed the bag, I don't know when one of them grabbed a stick, and the fierce horizontal stick stood up, and there were people who retreated, and swept it with a stick, not fainting to the ground, but also lying there and unable to get up.
In less than half an hour, the Taoist priests lay on the ground, some begging bitterly, some moaning in pain, and some fainting. One or twenty Taoist priests were all caught, and the mosquitoes were still angry, so they made up a few feet to the several Taoist priests who were pleading. The mosquito walked up to the stunned Taoist priest and stepped on him in the face, punching him as soon as he himself did, and he pretended to faint. The collapsed-nose Taoist priest was still motionless, the mosquito gradually increased the strength on his feet, the collapsed-nose Taoist priest couldn't bear it, groaned in pain, and shouted in his mouth: "Young man spare his life!" Young man spare his life! You and I have no grievances or hatreds, and we can't make such a big move, and we can't do it. ”
Mosquitoes hate this spineless person the most, if you don't admit defeat, maybe I can spare you, but if you beg for mercy, then I'm sorry, there is only a dead end. Immediately raised his left foot, the Taoist priest thought he was saved, and was about to thank him, but who knew that the mosquito's right foot kicked on his head like a ball, and this time he really fainted. The mosquito laughed, and when it reached the ears of these Taoist priests, it felt like another kick in the heart, and they shuddered, and they were as silent as cicadas, and they didn't dare to moan no matter how painful it was, in case they annoyed this demon, it would be miserable to make up for it again.
Orange squatted in front of the little Taoist boy who reported the news, looking at him with a smile, and the little Taoist boy shrank back several times in fright. "Don't be afraid, I'm just asking you two questions, you just need to say what you know, but remember not to lie." The more the orange said it lightly, the more harsh the little Taoist boy felt.
Orange pulled up the little Taoist boy, looking at this height, it was estimated that he was about ten years old, patted the dust on his body, and asked with a smile: "Why are there no relics in this relics tower?" ”
"I heard from my brothers that when it was built, it was empty. So we came many times, but we didn't overthrow this relic, and we were all stealing joy when we watched the monks protect each other with their lives. Xiaodao Tong only promised and told everything he knew.
"Do you know where the last relic went?" Orange asked, still smiling.
"When the stupa was being repaired, the last relic was taken away by the master, and it seemed to be placed in the master's dojo." The little Taoist boy didn't know where the relics were, but he had heard from the senior brother that he had seen a small pale yellow bead in the master's dojo, which seemed to be the relic that was supposed to be enshrined in the relics pagoda.
The mosquito turned his head and said to the three little monks, "Have you three eaten enough?" If you are full, how these people bullied you, you will return it as it is, just under the activity, and consume the food. ”
"Amitabha, Master said that monks don't hurt people." The little monk at the head wiped the crumbs from the corners of his mouth, wiped them into his mouth, and then folded his hands and replied indifferently. swept away the sluggish appearance before, quite a bit of the demeanor of a monk.
"Yo, I can't see that the little master's cultivation is good. In that case, you point out the person who bullied you, and I will be angry for you. "Mosquito thinks these little monks are very cute, they have been bullied like this, and they have not forgotten the teachings of the master.
"Amitabha, monks have compassion and do not hurt others." The little monk said again persistently.
When the mosquito heard it again, it didn't hurt people, and laughed again, kicked the Taoist priest lying next to him out of the distance, and said in his mouth: "Good, good, good, don't hurt people, let's not hurt people." ”
