With the old lady's approval, Wang Xu stayed at Tang Niu's house.
This stay lasted for a week, during which Tang Niu's whereabouts were discovered in Nanhe. Tang Niu injured two monks and disappeared again.
This time it was confirmed that Tang Niu's martial arts was no longer first-class, but had reached the master level.
Soon, Tang Niu was discovered again in Beihe. At a glance, someone saw someone who looked like Tang Niu at the bus station. At that time, he was asking the snakehead how much the ticket to the island country would cost.
Shaolin called and told Wang Xu that Tang Niu was heading north and would probably cross the sea to the island country.
But Wang Xu has always believed that Tang Niu will not go to the island country, but will return to Pengcheng.
Why do you say that? Because when Mrs. Tang was chatting with him about her family life, she said that Tang Niu went to Shaolin at the age of ten. In addition to the difficult conditions at home, it was also his own initiative.
Otherwise, Mrs. Tang originally wanted to adopt Tang Niu to her second uncle's family instead of going to the Shaolin Temple.
From here, Wang Xu knew that ten-year-old Tang Niu was an independent person and knew what he was doing.
How could a person who would rather become a monk than inherit another family leave Shaolin and flee to an island country without even daring to take a look back home?
Claiming in the east and attacking in the west, this is Wang Xu's definition of Tang Niu going north to inquire about the way to the island country.
Wang Xu believed that this was probably a smoke bomb to make the people in the Shaolin Temple think that he would go to the island country and never come back, thus relaxing the surveillance of his home.
Once he goes to sea, who knows whether he will go to an island country or go south to Pengcheng, so Wang Xu decided to remain unchanged in response to all changes.
Ten days later...
"Xingchi, come back. Xingkong has disappeared for three days. He may have arrived at the island country. There is no point in your staying in Pengcheng."
Early in the morning on the tenth day, Wang Xu received a call from Zen Master Faquan.
Wang Xu was silent for a moment and said bluntly: "Uncle Master, I suspect that Xingkong was a false shot. He did not arrive at the island country, but came to Pengcheng."
"Since you think so, I will let you wait for another ten days. If there is no movement after ten days, you can go back to the Shaolin Temple. By the way, Xingkong took the Dahuan Dan and his internal strength greatly increased. Now he is a master-level expert.
, remember to be careful." Zen Master Faquan hung up the phone and let Wang Xu fall into deep thought again.
A hundred groups of monks dispersed, and with the help of Shaolin's branches and temples in various places, as well as the help of the police, they couldn't catch a single Tang Niu. It seemed like this guy was very good at hiding.
You know, Tang Niu didn't have a certificate or ID card, so he couldn't take trains or planes, so he could only take long-distance buses.
Shaolin monks are stationed at all major stations and toll booths outside, like a big net, firmly controlling Tang Niu's route of action.
After so long, not only did the person not be caught, but he was allowed to run further and further away. This Tang Niu could be considered a talent.
However, the longer Tang Niu escaped, the calmer Wang Xu became, and his whole person remained calm.
Because according to his speculation on the plot, Tang Niu would show up on Hong Kong Island a month or two after his escape, thus stealing the title of God of Cookery from Stephen Zhou.
It is already June. The plot of the God of Cookery begins in August and ends in October. There is not much time left for Tang Niu.
Five days later...
"Little master, when will Tang Niu come back? Why haven't you seen anyone yet?" Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and Tang Niu still hadn't appeared, making Mrs. Tang extremely anxious.
Wang Xu comforted him a few words, but said that Tang Niu had something to do and was delayed.
Mrs. Tang nodded in understanding, took the change and the vegetable basket and walked out, muttering: "Today is the 15th, my granddaughter will come over, I have to go out and buy some good food."
"Mother-in-law, let me go with you." Wang Xu was wearing a hat and his monk's clothes were changed into sports clothes. No one could associate him with a monk.
Mrs. Tang nodded. After ten days of getting along, the two of them had become quite familiar. She knew that Wang Xu never trusted her to go out alone.
Of course, it is false to be uneasy, but it is true to avoid Tang Niu appearing but not being there.
Supporting the old lady, Wang Xu and the two went out.
It took more than half an hour to go back and forth. When I returned to Maple Bridge Apartment again, the elevator going up happened to be closing.
Wang Xu glanced out of the corner of his eye. The figure in the elevator seemed familiar to him, as if he had seen it before.
"Mother-in-law, we don't seem to have bought any pork belly!" Wang Xu reached out and touched the food basket, and the pork belly in the basket was instantly put into the space ring.
Mrs. Tang looked into the vegetable basket, rummaged through it twice, and said strangely: "I clearly remembered to buy it, how could it be gone?"
Wang Xu paid attention to the floors going up in the elevator. When he saw the number finally stopped after 12, he said, "Mother-in-law, you may have forgotten it at the vegetable stall. You should go back and look for it."
"Okay, I'll go back and look for it." Mrs. Tang handed the vegetable basket to Wang Xu and left muttering, "I clearly remembered to put the pork belly in the basket. Did I remember it wrong?"
Watching Mrs. Tang leave, Wang Xu glanced at the elevator and gently put his palm on it.
In an instant, dark energy vibrated out, and the lights on the elevator flickered twice, and then went out completely.
After doing all this, Wang Xu walked slowly towards the stairs and walked up one level at a time.
A few minutes later, Wang Xu stood on the 12th floor.
Upon first sight, the door was open and the door lock showed signs of damage. Needless to say, I knew who was back.
Crunch...
Wang Xu opened the door and looked towards the living room.
I saw a fat man in his thirties or forties kneeling on the ground, offering incense to the spiritual tablet enshrined in the living room.
Wang Xu leaned against the door and said nothing, quietly watching the fat man kowtow to the incense and pray silently.
Two minutes later, the fat man raised his head slightly, looked at Wang Xu and said at the same time: "Which junior brother are you?"
"Xing Chi, I have met senior brother Xing Kong!" Wang Xu clasped his hands together and lowered his head slightly.
The fat man, also known as Tang Niu, stood up slowly from the ground and said, "It's exactly what I thought. Even after half a month, there are still people guarding my hometown! But I still want to thank you for letting me
I will kowtow to my father and burn incense sticks."
"It should, it should."
Wang Xu walked in and closed the door, looked at Tang Niu who was sighing, and said: "If senior brother can wait for another five days, maybe I will return to Shaolin, but since senior brother knows that there may be Shaolin disciples guarding my hometown, why do I have to come back?
?”
"You don't understand!" Tang Niu didn't say that Wang Xu didn't understand anything, but in his heart, he had a reason to come back and kowtow.
Seeing that Tang Niu didn't want to say more, Wang Xu didn't ask any more questions and said bluntly: "Senior brother, where is the Great Return Pill?"
"I ate three, and there are two left, and they are all here."
Tang Niu took out a black wooden box, but did not throw it over. Instead, he said softly: "Junior brother, please help me. I have taken three Big Return Pills, but you may not be able to defeat me!"
One Shaolin Great Return Pill can increase one's cultivation by ten years. Taking the second pill reduces the effect by half and adds five years. The third pill reduces the effect by half and adds two and a half years.
Eating three pills will significantly increase your internal strength by 17.5 years. This is Tang Niu's confidence to go to the tiger mountain, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains.
"Can you help me?"
Wang Xu lowered his head slightly, shook his head and said: "You are a senior brother, how dare I dare to move against you..."
Before the last word was spoken, Wang Xu flew up and rushed directly towards Tang Niu.
Tang Niu secretly cursed shamelessly, and while slimming back, he raised his eyes and saw that Wang Xu had clearly hit him with one palm. The moment he rose into the air, it turned into two palms. When he was in the air, the two palms changed again into
Four palms, which turned into eight palms when it landed.
"Great Mercy and Great Compassion Qianye Hand!" Tang Niu exclaimed, this kind of palm technique is an advanced martial art that monks can only learn after entering the Prajna Hall.
Now that the Prajna Hall has not been opened, how could anyone be so kind and compassionate to Qianye Hand.
"Snapped!!!"
With two heavy palms, Wang Xu took half a step back, while Tang Niu took three or four steps back, leaning against the load-bearing wall to stabilize his body.
Just this moment made Tang Niu know that he was destined to lose. The person in front of him was by no means an ordinary grandmaster.
"The big stone thrower?"
Wang Xu frowned, nodded and said: "I didn't expect you to learn martial arts secretly!"
"Bah, aren't you the same? You secretly learned the Great Compassionate Thousand Leaves Hand!"
Tang Niu was not happy when he heard this, and before Wang Xu pounced on him again, he hurriedly said: "I admit that I am defeated by you, but you have also secretly learned martial arts. Those people who return to Shaolin will not let you go. How about that?
You come with me and I’ll give you the remaining two Big Return Pills. Let’s cross the sea to Hong Kong Island. There will be a lot of good days waiting for us in the future, and we won’t have to suffer in the Shaolin Temple anymore!”
"Do you think I learned my martial arts secretly?"
"Is not it?"
Wang Xu shook his head slightly and whispered: "Wrong..."
