Chapter 154 - Wine Daoist (2/2)
Fang Yuan followed the Drunken Gu and turned around. It turned out that he was going in the opposite direction.
The Drunken Gu ran all the way, its four short legs running with all their might.
Fang Yuan followed behind it step by step, and before long, they arrived at a dark alley.
The smell of alcohol came from inside.
He took out a fluorescent Gu, and using the not-so-strong light to look inside, it was empty.
There were no shops, no doors, only a tall wall erected on one side of the house.
“There shouldn’t be any danger in the capital, right?”
Fang Yuan still had lingering fear from the previous two assassination attempts, but the current situation was definitely not some kind of suspicious activity of an assassin.
After all, if there was an assassin, he would have noticed it long ago.
An assassin that he could not detect would not use such a method either.
Fang Yuan took a deep breath and slowly walked in.
The alley was very narrow and could only accommodate three people moving side by side.
Moreover, there were many forks in the road and he had to change direction after walking for a short while, which made Fang Yuan dizzy.
However, the fragrance of the wine was indeed much stronger.
The Drunken Gu slowly crawled, like a search dog with a locator device, without stopping.
After turning countless corners, just as Fang Yuan was considering whether to bring the Drunken Gu along from the roof, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him.
Swoosh!
The Drunken Gu disappeared!
Fang Yuan’s eyes widened. Someone dared to steal his Gu worm?
And it was done right in front of him?
Fuck!
Fang Yuan cursed and instantly used phantom steps to step on the wall, borrowing the force to jump onto the roof.
That person ran south.
Fang Yuan followed closely behind, his body moving like a ghost as he jumped on the roofs of various buildings.
His speed was extremely fast, and there were even afterimages behind him.
But even so, he did not seem to be catching up to that person, and was even left further and further behind.
Fang Yuan gritted his teeth. He infused liquid spirit essence into his body, and his speed was five times faster!
Even if his meridians could not bear the risk, he still wanted to catch this shameless thief!
A few breaths later, that person jumped into a courtyard, landing in a pavilion in the backyard.
Fang Yuan’s figure landed immediately, his gaze fixed on the other party, ready to attack at any moment. He shouted, “Who are you, sir, why did you steal my Gu worm?”
This was an old man. His hair was disheveled, his clothes were shabby, his face was full of dust, and he looked slovenly.
Facing Fang Yuan’s interrogation, he calmly took out a cup, squeezed the butt of the Drunken Gu and filled the cup with wine.
For a moment, the fragrance of wine permeated the air.
The old man was very satisfied. After tasting a mouthful, he shook his head and said, “Good wine! Good wine naturally goes with the scenery, little friend. Don’t panic, come sit down and drink with this old man, how about it?”
“Who are you?”
“Haha, you are quite serious. This old man here is the Wine Daoist, have you heard of
me?”
