Zhang Tingxiao wanted to ask more questions, but Zhao Yonggang anxiously said, ”Quickly chase him, it must be him. Perhaps the monk was carrying his bag on his back, so of course this brother won't notice. ”
That person also said, ”He is right. I did not pay attention to the Monk's back.” The two of them felt a great sense of hope, so they mustered their strength and chased after him in a hurry.
The two ran down the hill and up the hill. They chased for quite a distance and reached the fork in the road between the two sheep. Looking around, there were a lot of pedestrians on both roads, so it was impossible to tell which one was the monk.
Zhao Yonggang said, ”This monk is really fast. Hurry up and find someone to ask in his direction. ”
Zhang Tingxiao then asked the passerby, ”Old mister, did you see a monk go over there just now?”
That gentleman turned around and pointed, ”The one in front is the monk. If you all walk a little faster, you'll be able to catch up. ” Zhang Tingxiao and Zhao Yonggang were both happy to see the monk.
The two thanked the person before hurriedly chasing after him. Gradually, they could clearly see the figure of the monk in front of them. The two forgot their fatigue as they chased after the monk.
Zhao Yonggang slowed down his pace first and said, ”Sixth Brother, I don't think it's him. This monk is empty-handed, has nothing on him, does not panic when he walks, and is tall and thin.
Zhang Tingxiao said, ”I don't think so either. Call him, and if he has any guilty reactions, go up and catch him. ” Zhao Yonggang shouted in fear, ”Monk, stop!” The two of them stopped to look at the monk's reaction.
The monk was walking calmly when he suddenly heard someone shout behind him. Seeing that there were two people in the attire of evil slaves chasing after him, he thought to himself, ”It's definitely not a good idea for these two people to chase me. It's better that I don't get entangled with them.” After thinking about it, he ran.
Zhang Tingxiao was surprised and immediately said, ”Don't just look at him, he didn't take anything. The one who is going to snatch the item must be him. ”Catch him!” Thus, the two of them chased after him with full confidence.
The monk was as fast as an antelope. The two of them continued to chase each other like tigers chasing wolves. At first, the monk was slightly slow, but later on, his footsteps became lighter and faster, leaving Zhang Tingxiao and Zhao Yonggang far behind.
The tired Zhang Zhao and Wang Chao opened their mouths and held their breath. They could not move a single step, and were drenched in sweat as they sat on the ground. The monk entered the forest. Zhang Xianhua was panting heavily, unable to speak as he pointed to the forest and told Zhao Yonggang.
A while later, Zhao Yong interrupted, ”I've entered that forest before. The area was not large and the trees were not thick. It was a mess of graves. This road goes through the middle. ”
As the two of them spoke, their hearts did not give up and they simultaneously stood up. ”If we can't run, we'll just follow him. As the saying goes, a monk cannot run away from a temple. See which temple he goes into, and catch him in the end. ” Zhao Yonggang also said, ”That's right. After suffering from such a tiring situation, we can't let all our efforts go to waste.” The two of them quickly ran towards the forest.
They entered the forest and saw the willow trees and the tall tombs. The willows blotted out the sun, and the graves were old and new. He heard the roars of the forest and the cries of the old raven when he was far away. It was horrifying.
Just as the two of them were trembling with fear and trepidation, a sharp pain came from Zhang Tingxiao's shoulder, as he had been captured from behind. That was it: they were doing their best to be loyal and irritate a man in the forest.
It turned out that the person who had captured Zhang Tingxiao was the monk that he had been chasing after. Seeing that the two of them were pursuing him relentlessly, the monk was infuriated. He intentionally lured the two of them into the forest so as to teach them a lesson by force. The monk had been hiding behind a tree close to the roadside. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Wei entered the forest and looked up, but didn't notice their surroundings. The monk gave way to Zhao Yonggang and appeared from behind the tree. He caught Zhang Xianhua off guard and grabbed him from behind.
Seeing that he had been caught, Zhang Tingxiao hurriedly turned his head to take a look. He saw that the monk's face was full of anger and asked from behind him, ”Whose evil slave are you? Why must you chase me down? ”
Zhang Tingxiao did not say anything. He immediately became angry and hastily performed his martial arts. He was about to use his backhand to grab the monk. Unexpectedly, that monk was very powerful. With just one move, he had thrown Zhang Tinghua ten feet away, onto a high grave before rolling down. He fell onto the ground, unable to struggle anymore. Zhao Yonggang was walking ahead when he hurriedly turned around to save them. The monk used a fast and powerful technique and caught him, twisted him onto the ground, and used his feet to scare him, ”Speak! Whose evil slaves are you? What do you want from this poor monk? ”Don't you know that the monk is able to live by begging, and has no money at all?!”
Zhang Xianhua painfully crawled up from the ground. He was already scared. He believed that he was no match for a monk and did not dare to fight again. He looked closely: the monk was tall and thin, with a long, thin face and high cheekbones. He was not fat. Only now did Zhang Tingxiao realize that he had made a mistake, and immediately softened. He cupped his hands and said, ”Master, please calm your anger, please forgive me! The one we're chasing is a fat monk who stole our stuff. I misunderstood you. Just let him go. ”
The monk raised his leg and said with a face full of anger, ”You youngsters, your eyesight is strong, how can you not distinguish between fat and skinny in the day? If you dare to have the slightest bit of ill intent, this humble monk will not tolerate it. ” Zhao Yonggang was stomped on so hard that it felt like his lungs were being stomped on. He hurriedly got up and said, ”I dare not! We have no intention to ambush Master, we were indeed wrong to chase after him just now, and we misunderstood Master. ” Zhang Tingxiao cupped his hands and said, ”Master, please bestow the magic title upon us. We would like to make a friend.”
