Origin Chapter 60: A friend or an enemy
"Since you don't know him, why do you suspect that he is coming for you?" Zhao Ying was puzzled.
"Few people here believe in Taoism, and Taoist You Fang won't come here." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.
This answer is basically a matter of considering him, Zhao Ying is naturally dissatisfied, but she is not too entangled, "Why can't you go? The second layer of sugar paper is near here?"
Wu Zhongyuan nodded. He had previously said to Zhao Ying, "This piece of candy has two layers of candy wrappers. Let them peel off the first layer. If they lie to me, the second layer of candy wrappers will be peeled off by you." ' Zhao Ying may not know what the sugar paper is, but he knows that the sugar paper is his backup method to return to the ancient times.
After nodding, Zhao Ying said to the communication device on her wrist, "Wait for me at a distance."
When the two of them were talking, the middle-aged Taoist priest was fully 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 this person moved his gaze, Wu Zhongyuan had already pulled Zhao Ying to sit down and did not look at the middle-aged Taoist priest. In fact, before that, he had carefully looked at the middle-aged Taoist. About forty-five years old, he was not tall, he was wearing a green preaching robe, he was tall and thin, his complexion was a little dark, and his thick hair was tied into a bun on top of his head.
In addition to a small black bag, this person also carried a whisk and a long sword, but this person did not seem to want to leave, 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 a Taoist priest to walk with a whisk and a sword, but those who really know the details know that if a long sword is opened, it will become a controlled knife and will be seen by the police. to be confiscated.
Furthermore, the age of this person was another reason for his suspicions. The age and clothing of this person were very similar to those of the Taoist priest who exchanged white jade from Mr. Li.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had been observing the Taoist priest on the opposite bank 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 an enemy or a friend?" Zhao Ying asked again.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again.
"What should I do now?" Zhao Ying said, "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 did not intend to act immediately, Zhao Ying took the opportunity to ask what happened to the pig farm more than ten days ago. As for what happened that day, they only knew that Wu Zhongyuan finally escaped, but they had no way of knowing the specific inside story.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't explain too much, and said after a long silence, 'They want to arrest me. ’
Zhao Ying didn't ask any more questions and sat quietly beside Wu Zhongyuan, waiting for him to make a decision.
Zhao Ying thought that Wu Zhongyuan was thinking nervously. In fact, Wu Zhongyuan didn't think about anything. He was waiting, and while waiting, he observed the every move of the Taoist priest downstream.
At this time, the sun had already set, and there were very few tourists around. The middle-aged Taoist had no intention of leaving. After getting dressed, he started to meditate cross-legged under the tree.
After waiting for a while, only the two of them and the Taoist priest in the lower reaches were left nearby. Seeing no movement from the Taoist priest, Wu Zhongyuan stood up, "Let's go, leave here first."
"Where to?" Zhao Ying asked.
Wu Zhongyuan pointed to a motorcycle not far away.
Zhao Ying walked beside Wu Zhongyuan, and after taking a few steps, Wu Zhongyuan reached out and embraced her.
Zhao Ying frowned in doubt, Wu Zhongyuan winked secretly, indicating that this move was deliberately done for the Taoist priest behind, Zhao Ying understood and hugged Wu Zhongyuan's waist.
When the motorcycle was parked, Wu Zhongyuan started the motorcycle and drove Zhao Ying north.
Although the motorcycle is old, it does not lack parts. The rear-view mirror is still there. When Wu Zhongyuan adjusted the angle of the rear-view mirror to observe the situation behind, he was surprised to find that the Taoist had arrived at this place in the river. aside.
Although this river is not particularly wide, it is also six or seven meters long, and there is no bridge on the river. In such a short time, this person cannot circle around, but can only jump over. It is impossible for ordinary people to jump so far. .
In addition, as soon as the two left, the middle-aged Taoist priest immediately moved, which means that this person had been waiting for the tourists to leave.
After climbing over a hillside, Wu Zhongyuan stopped his motorcycle and looked southward under the cover of the bushes on the top of the slope, and saw that the middle-aged Taoist priest was slowly moving towards the mountain where the secret room was located.
This person started climbing from the east of the mountain, and gradually leaned towards the back of the mountain as he climbed. After ten minutes, he stopped near the secret room.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's breathing quickening, Zhao Ying vaguely guessed something, "Where's the sugar?"
Wu Zhongyuan nodded. According to the inscription, if he can get here before sunset on April 15th, he can 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 as he was about to take action, the middle-aged Taoist priest actually started to return to the same path. This person did nothing but looked 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 going down the mountain, the middle-aged Taoist returned to the river, looked around at no one, and began to cross the river, but this person did not jump over the river, but stepped on the water and walked over, returning to where he was before. Under that tree, he sat down cross-legged.
Zhao Ying has no night vision ability, but through 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?"
What awaits her is the same sentence, "I want to know too."
After the Taoist sat down, he didn't stand up again, sitting cross-legged and motionless.
The two lay down on the hillside in the distance. When they got tired, they sat down. They waited until after ten o'clock in the evening, and the Taoist priest didn't do anything else.
At half past ten, the communication device on Zhao Ying's wrist vibrated slightly. This communication device was connected to the earphone she was wearing. Zhao Ying clicked the communication device, "Huh?"
I couldn't hear what the other party said, only Zhao Ying said, "Well, I see, you tell the helicopter to evacuate to a safe location."
This ends the call.
Zhao Ying looked at Wu Zhongyuan, "They have already come. They are now fifty miles to the east. There are three cars and seven people."
"Let's go." Wu Zhongyuan said.
Zhao Ying didn't take 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 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 guarding the secret room secretly. I want to light a fire to lead them over," Wu Zhongyuan said, walking towards the motorcycle. "The Taoist priest and the other two Individuals should not be a group, plus you and the official, four forces will gather here tonight."
"Where are you going now?" Zhao Ying asked.
"Go to the secret room," Wu Zhongyuan got on the motorcycle, "I've always wanted to determine whether the Taoist priest and the other two are enemies or friends, but unfortunately I have no clue until now, and I have no choice but to expose myself. , knowing who I am, they'll do what they're supposed to do."
"If it is your opponent, 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.
"You lit that bonfire too early. You should start it from there when you arrive at your destination," Zhao Ying said.
"I hope the other two people can see the bonfire in advance and come here earlier," Wu Zhongyuan said, "I don't know who is the friend and who is the enemy. To narrow the time interval between their arrival, for me Safer."
"Is the pistol I gave you still there?" Zhao Ying took out the pistol and loaded it.
"Yes." Wu Zhongyuan said.
Zhao Ying brought two pistols and loaded both pistols, one on her waist and one in her hand.
Wu Zhongyuan has night vision, so he doesn't need to turn on the lights when he rides at night.
Three miles from the mountain, the Taoist priest under the downstream tree stood up. At the same time, Wu Zhongyuan heard the subtle and rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, turned his head to look back, and saw two horses galloping towards here in the northeast direction.
Wu Zhongyuan rode the motorcycle directly to the foot of the mountain, then abandoned the motorcycle and climbed with Zhao Ying.
When I was climbing, I turned my head to look 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 outside of the secret room. The middle-aged Taoist priest had already reached the foot of the mountain and was using his movements to fly to the mountainside where the secret room was located. The Taoist priest was late for a moment, and seeing someone flying up the mountain, he gave up his galloping horse in a hurry, performed light work, and rushed after him.
A moment later, the three people came one after another. The middle-aged Taoist was ten steps away from Wu Zhongyuan's right side, while the two middle-aged men in Tibetan robes stopped not far from Wu Zhongyuan's left side.
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 these two middle-aged men has been seen during the day, and the other is thin and a little shorter. point.
The two middle-aged men looked solemn, frowned and looked at Wu Zhongyuan and the middle-aged Taoist priest. The expressions of the two were caught in Wu Zhongyuan's eyes. The two looked at him and the middle-aged Taoist priest. Doubt, this shows that they have not only seen him before, but also this middle-aged Taoist priest.
The expression of the middle-aged Taoist priest is somewhat similar to those of the two middle-aged men, and his brows are also wrinkled, but he sees the expressions of the two middle-aged men with solemnity, but when he looks at him, his eyes are full of dignified expressions. Doubt, in addition to doubt, there is something else, a bit like nervousness, maybe excitement.
The silent observation and confrontation were quickly broken by Zhao Ying, "Who are you?"
Zhao Ying's words drew the eyes 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 does not know the middle-aged Taoist, nor the two middle-aged men. He only knows that the three of them are not a group.
The two middle-aged men don't know Wu Zhongyuan, and they don't seem to know the middle-aged Taoist. They should be wondering who they are at this time.
And the middle-aged Taoist didn't know Wu Zhongyuan either, but he seemed to know the origins of these two middle-aged men. At this time, he and Zhao Ying should be confused.
Now the most dominant among the three is the middle-aged Taoist, because he probably knows the origins of these two middle-aged men.
"Who are you?" Zhao Ying also pulled out another pistol, holding guns in both hands, ready to shoot at any time.
Double 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 question.
"Who are you?" said the man who was herding sheep during the day.
No one answered his question either.
"What are you doing here?" The middle-aged Taoist looked directly at Wu Zhongyuan.
As soon as this person opened his mouth, 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 a northern accent, nor a southerner's accent.
"What are you looking for?" the middle-aged Taoist asked coldly.
"What are you looking for?" Wu Zhongyuan asked rhetorically.
"What are you doing here?" the sheepherder asked loudly.
Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at the man who was herding sheep, "What are you waiting for?"
"I'm asking you something!" the sheepherder raised his voice.
Another emaciated middle-aged man raised his hand at the man who ran the sheep, then turned to Wu Zhongyuan and asked in a deep voice, "What are we waiting for?"
"Wait," Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Who are we waiting for?" the emaciated man demanded.
"The one who went home." Wu Zhongyuan said.
As soon as Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, the middle-aged Taoist priest suddenly attacked, pulled out his sword, and stabbed himself.
Seeing that the opponent made a move, Zhao Yingguo cut off the gun, but the middle-aged Daoist's body method was strange. When he moved, he dragged several human-shaped phantoms, and shot two consecutive shots into the air. At this time, the middle-aged Daoist had already reached the two of them. , the long sword directly took Wu Zhongyuan's left chest atrium.
The middle-aged Taoist was so fast that Wu Zhongyuan didn't even have time to react. He saw the long sword about to pass through his chest. A thick palm flashed and grabbed the edge of the long sword.
The man who grabbed the long sword was the man who ran the sheep. This man was so proficient in kung fu, he grabbed the sharp edge of the sword directly with his fleshy palm, and then raised his arm to break the long sword.
The middle-aged Daoist lost his long sword and immediately pulled back. Zhao Ying acted decisively and took the opportunity to fire two more shots, but she still failed to hit.
"Get out of the way," the man who ran the sheep turned away from Zhao Ying and rushed over to the middle-aged Taoist, "Senior brother, I'll deal with him, you check the token and verify your identity..."
