Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were dressed in black clothes and covered their faces with black scarves to avoid being recognized by others, were running wildly in this dark forest in a panic with their heads buried in the darkness.

In the darkness, the two of them remained silent.

Apart from occasionally turning around to look at the situation behind them and occasionally exchanging surprised and frightened looks, they just continued to run for their lives, not daring to think or having too much time to think about anything else.

Starting from Jing Nian Monastery, after half a night of chasing, it was already past Yin hour.

This was the darkest moment of the day, but the group of monks in Jing Nian Zen Temple who had received the order had no intention of giving up.

"stop!"

"Stop!"

"Thieves, stop running!

"

"you!"

"That way!"

"Outflank!"

"Disciple, obey!"

"You! Come with the poor monk!"

"This way!

"

"quick!"

"We must stop those two thieves!"

"..."

Holding torches high, holding Zen staffs, wooden sticks and swords in their hands, they were still chasing after them relentlessly. They even divided their troops to outflank them while chasing, making it clear that they wanted to kill Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

He was rushing to a dead end, determined not to give them any chance to escape.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem strange.

After all, they had already received the news that the 'He's Bi' that they were responsible for keeping in Jing Nian Chan Monastery had been stolen, and Master Kong, the abbot in charge, even broke the 20-year silence to give orders.

They went to catch the two thieves in front of them.

After knowing the reason and learning about such serious matters, how could they, the monks of the Zen monastery and the monks of the Dharma Protector, dare to be the slightest bit negligent?

"Amitabha!"

"Two little donors, there is no limit to the sea of ​​suffering and we can finally turn around!"

"??"

"Hey!

"

"Still running?!"

After chasing for a while, I found that the two thieves in front had surprisingly good stamina. Not only did their speed and strength show no signs of declining, but they began to accelerate again. The four great protectors of Jing Nian Monastery were vajra, non-greedy, and non-angry.

Not afraid, the four men made a quick decision and split the pursuing troops into two again.

Among them, the two people, Buhao Buwei, continued to lead most of the monks holding torches to chase after them, while the other two led a dozen monks with good legs and feet, and did not hold up torches, but went straight towards the other side.

The direction rushed over and quickly disappeared into the dark dense forest.

"?!"

"My dear mother!"

"Master Zhong, are they crazy?"

"They've been chasing us for half the night, and it's almost daybreak and they still haven't let go. What kind of evil things have we done?"

Xu Ziling had already seen the behavior and determination of the group of monks from Jingnian Temple who were chasing after them with all their might. Therefore, while continuing to run at the risk of his life, he finally couldn't help but speak anxiously towards Kou Zhong.

asked in a voice.

"I have no idea!"

"But something big must have happened!"

"and!"

"Although it may have nothing to do with us, they seem to have decided that it was us who did it. So, it's best for you and me to run away first before talking about anything else?"

Kou Zhong expressed his rough guess with some annoyance, but at the same time, the movements of his feet were not slow at all. He continued to use the bird crossing technique he learned from the leader of the Meiren'er gang and continued to move forward with energy.

He was flying through the dense forest beside him, fearing that if he slowed down, he would be overtaken by the large group of bald donkeys behind him and beaten up.

"correct!"

"Brothers!"

"You remember, from now on, my name is Yang Xuyan, and your name is Hou Xibai, but don't let it slip!"

"Unless they get caught, otherwise..."

"Even if we die, we can't admit our true identity!"

Then, Kou Zhong, who suddenly thought of something important, hurriedly warned Xu Ziling, who turned his head sideways and was slightly surprised.

"ah?"

"this!

"

Xu Ziling, who has a clear mind, can certainly understand Kou Zhong's strategy of diverting disaster to the east.

However, it doesn't matter that the shadow assassin Yang Xuyan has a grudge against the two of them. It doesn't matter if he pretends to be the other party and creates some obstacles for the other party. It's just that Hou Xibai... the other party doesn't seem to have any conflict with them. They just met each other once and know each other.

, why Kou Zhong would involve the other party, then he is somewhat unclear.

"knew."

"Brother Zhong...Xuyan!"

But because he didn't understand, Xu Ziling didn't say anything more, he just continued to run forward with his head down.

In this way, the two sides chased each other for nearly a quarter of an hour. Just when the sky was dimly lit, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling suddenly discovered that there seemed to be no road ahead.

Of course, there are actually roads, but those directions suitable for escape have been blocked by a group of more or less monks and bald donkeys, and the two of them finally had to subconsciously slow down for the first time.

speed.

"!

"

"Oops!"

Because it was too dark and the two of them were not very familiar with the terrain of Luoyang, they didn't choose the right road. At the same time, there might also be factors that led to the division of troops to drive and round up the bald donkeys?

Anyway!

In the end, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were finally surrounded by the four great protectors of Jing Nian Zen Temple beside a section of the flowing Luoshui cliff. They were not angry, not greedy, not doubtful, not afraid of four big bald donkeys and a group of strong men.

The strong little bald donkeys holding torches high blocked the cliff of the river from three directions.

"Brother Xibai, there is no road ahead, what should we do?"

"..."

"Brother Xuyan, I don't know either..."

"in spite of!"

"Fight them!

"

Then, the two of them naturally followed their previous agreement, and after pretending to say a few words, they silently took out a stainless steel folding fan and a long sword as weapons and started acting together.

"Amitabha!"

"Two donors, please hand over the jade!"

Seeing that the two of them were finally successfully blocked, a certain great monk from the Jing Nian Zen Monastery announced the name of the Buddha, calmed his breath a little, then stepped forward with a heavy Zen staff and shouted and persuaded.

"..."

"..."

Hearing this, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling finally couldn't help but look at each other in shock.

Then, they finally understood why this gang of bald donkeys sent out so many people and chased the two of them relentlessly for most of the night. What is this kind of relationship?
To be continued...
