After the two of them discussed the matter, Xu Dao and Zhuang Bufan started working separately.
Xu Dao increased the frequency of wandering around the Baichuan Water Dock and released the news that he was preparing to take on the task in the Tao Palace. He asked his Taoist disciples to pay more attention to him and contact familiar Taoist priests.
It gives the impression that he wants to be paired with others.
After about two or three days, Zhuang Bufan was ready to travel, and Xu Dao had also revealed his whereabouts. If someone was secretly paying attention to his movements, this time would be enough time for them to react.
coming.
At the same time, the time cannot be delayed for too long. If it is delayed for too long, if someone really wants to murder him, the other party will be more prepared. In this way, even if Taoist Zhuang Bufan is a helping hand, the risk of the trip will increase.
In this way, as soon as he received Zhuang Bufan's notification, Xu Dao immediately went to the hall in the Taoist Palace that was responsible for handling miscellaneous tasks, casually accepted a task, and prepared to set off the next day.
During this period, he did not make it known to everyone like when he first inquired about the mission. Instead, he returned to the Talisman Shop in a low-key manner and adjusted his condition.
When the sky got slightly brighter the next day, Xu Dao left the Baichuan Water Dock alone and ran towards Wudu City according to the agreed route, scattering many scale soldiers along the way as his eyes and ears.
Sure enough, as soon as he left the Baichuan Water Dock, he faintly noticed something was wrong.
Over the Erhai Sea, Xu Dao looked at the gradually thinning sea fog and the looming Wudu City in his eyes, with a cold look on his face:
"This Wuzhao tribe is really evil. I didn't expect that I just tried to catch a fish, and I couldn't bear it and jumped out."
"Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, they have been patient for nearly two years. This time they finally waited until I relaxed my vigilance and went out alone. Naturally, they couldn't let it go."
While he was thinking, the soldiers spread out for miles around were rushing towards him and communicating with him what they saw and observed on the road.
Although there is nothing wrong with the memories conveyed by these scale soldiers, the number of scale soldiers flying back in a certain direction has decreased, and this direction is always behind him!
According to Xu Dao's order to these soldiers: once you notice someone is following you, you don't need to report back, you can finish it on the spot to avoid alerting the visitors.
Such a situation clearly shows that someone is following him secretly. However, the other party's methods are clever and more cautious than the previous group, making it difficult to detect.
Fortunately, Xu Dao had a large number of scale soldiers as his eyes and ears, and successfully caught the opponent's tail.
Just as he had judged, there were two Taoists walking together more than five miles behind him.
The two Taoists were dressed in red and green. They were wearing a red robe and a green hat, and they were wearing a green robe and a red hat. They looked unique. If Xu Dao could see the two of them with his own eyes, he would be able to recognize them at a glance.
The names of these two people are: "Red and Green Two Evils".
These two people are a pair of well-known Taoist priests in Wu Kingdom. They come from a side sect, not from the Taoist palace. One of them practices martial arts and the other practices immortality. They cooperate with each other. Once a Taoist priest is targeted by them, it will be impossible to escape them.
of siege.
Moreover, the cultivation level of the two Taoist priests is not low. They are both Taoist priests in the realm of Ningsha, which is a level higher than Xu Dao. Even if they are not members of the Taoist palace, their status in Wu Kingdom is already quite respected, and they are powerful.
Not many people dare to provoke him.
The reason why these two Taoist priests got the title of "Double Evil" is not because they both have condensed evil spirits, but mainly because they are used to killing people, stealing goods, and collecting money to kill people. They have committed many evil deeds for decades, and their reputation has already been in Wu Guozhong.
The rotten smell even forced a Taoist priest to collapse and his cultivation level was greatly reduced.
Although the red and green evil spirits were so unscrupulous and violated the majesty of the Taoist palace, neither the Wu court nor the Taoist palace had come forward to kill them so far.
If Xu Dao knew that it was these two who were chasing him, he could immediately guess the inside story. It was just that the Wuzhao tribe was raising bandits out of self-respect or they were raising two vicious dogs.
"Hee hee!" The Taoist priest in red robes shrugged the tip of his nose and said, "This guy's pace has slowed down again. Let's stop first and put some distance between us."
Another Taoist priest in green robe had a sinister expression on his face and impatiently drank:
"Why is this guy walking around so much? Could it be that he has discovered traces of someone else? In my opinion, someone could just jump forward, chop him to death and then go back, so as not to delay other things."
Hongpao suppressed the smile on his face and said: "No, this is the Erhai Lake, and it belongs to the Dao Palace. You must not cause trouble here."
Hongpao still looked at the invisible Xu Dao's back with envy, and said: "You and I are not from the Taoist palace, and there will be no one above to protect him to death. It is better to wait until he leaves Erhai and Wudu City, and then find a way to end it."
Drop him!"
"It's best to wait until he completes the mission and runs out of mana. The risk will be smaller then."
During the conversation, the red-robed Taoist priest's nose twitched, and he judged that Xu Dao was setting off again, so he quickly called on his companions to follow him. This man was surprisingly able to judge the distance between people by smell, which was much better than a dog's nose.
And they are worthy of being long-standing murderers. Although they despise Xu Dao in words, they are very cautious and sophisticated in their actions.
This resulted in Xu Dao even realizing that someone was following him, but he just couldn't catch the other party's other tricks, and he didn't even know how many people were on the other party.
Xu Dao secretly judged in his heart: "The person who comes is not good!"
After a brief thought, he simply stopped walking and collected all the soldiers into the inner world, and then went straight to Wudu City, preparing to meet up with Taoist Zhuang Bufan first before talking about anything else.
The red and green demons also followed him into Wudu City. After blending into the crowd, the two of them narrowed the distance. The closest they were, they were only a hundred steps away from Xu Dao, observing Xu Dao.
Tao’s every move.
"Sure enough, it's just the early stage of foundation building. Even if it's hidden, it won't be too powerful. I really don't know how the Ningsha Taoist from Lei Zhao fell into the hands of this person?" After the two took a peek, they communicated with each other with their spiritual consciousness:
"There is still no evidence that this person is responsible. It may be someone else in the Taoist palace who made this person take the blame. Maybe they are looking for people like the two of us."
"But no matter what, my job is stable this time, and I can hand over the work today."
Xu Dao, who was scorned by the two men, walked into a wine shop to have a meal and then walked out of Wudu City in a swagger, choosing a direction and running away.
The two red and green demons quickly followed. But what they didn't know was that not long after they followed, another Taoist carrying a bag walked out of a teahouse directly opposite.
