As Yuan Ming was walking away, he heard the abbot shouting, ”Servants! ”Thieves!” Yuan Ming thought they were talking about him and ran away in fright. After running a few steps, he suddenly stopped, feeling that something was wrong. ”How can he see me when he has no eyes behind his back?” he thought. I'm so far away again. It's dark outside, and the house can't see me? ”The shout of the abbot is urgent. There must be a thief who is plotting against the treasure.”
He hurried back to the window and looked in, startled. The others fell to the floor. The thief was tall and thin, wearing a green robe and a black mask. A shiny steel blade was placed on the table.
The bandits were extremely pleased with themselves as they hurriedly collected the treasures in the box. Yuan Ming tensed up and almost cried out. He thought to himself, ”Thank god I came back, otherwise, the treasure would have definitely been stolen by him.” The Thief's actions immediately aroused his heroic spirit. Seeing that the bandits had packed up properly, he picked up the treasures and walked away with a single saber. Yuan Ming did not make a sound from beginning to end. He hastily ran to the door to block them off. He just wanted to fight to the death with the bandits.
Yuan Ming ran to the door. Seeing that the bandits were being very careful, he ran out the back door in a flash. Yuan Ming hurriedly passed through the corridor and exited through the back door as he chased after the bandits. He saw that the thieves were especially tall, taller than him by more than a head, so he did not dare to act rashly. Yuan Ming thought to himself, ”I am unarmed and no one is there to support me. If I were to fight him now, I would definitely be at a disadvantage and it would be easy for me to let him escape.” As the saying goes, when one meets the strong, he will be wise. When he meets the weak, he will be captured alive. I have to find the right opportunity to beat him up. ” Unexpectedly, the thief moved quickly and with long strides. Not only was he unable to find an opportunity to strike, he even had to put in a lot of effort to keep up with the thief.
Yuan Ming's footsteps were light as he chased closely behind, yet the bandits did not notice. The thief went round the house, and the little Taoist was already shouting in the yard. This gave Yuan Ming courage and courage. When the bandits heard this shout, they panicked. Without even looking back, he quickly walked to the northeast corner of the wall. Because he had something in both his hands and was somewhat obstructed, he had to stop and return the blade to its sheath. Yuan Ming took the opportunity to get behind him and used all his strength to launch a palm attack towards the back of the thief. Caught off guard, the thief was knocked forward by the attack and almost fell to the ground when his head hit the wall. The following is not a restatement.
On the other hand, when Yuan Ming discovered that he had been tricked, he allowed the thieves to escape with his wounds. Thus, he leaped over the wall to chase after the thieves. He looked around outside the wall, but there was no sign of the intruder; he could not hear them even if he listened carefully. Deeply regretting that he had been so easily fooled, he hurried back to the courtyard to rescue everyone.
When he returned to the courtyard, he was afraid of Rufeng, so he did not dare to enter the house directly. He first went to the window and looked in. He saw that the little Daoist was busy inside, pouring water on everyone's faces. The window opened and the abbot sat up. He was relieved and did not go in. He went back to his own room and lit another candle. He wanted to write to his abbot the story of witnessing the thieves and then go in search of them. He raised his pen to write, but before he could do so, the candle chattered again and the flame dimmed, and the wax core was about to fall.
Yuan Ming hurriedly put down his brush and adjusted the wax core. He gathered the remaining wax and pinched it together before the candle lit up again. He took the opportunity to write those words quickly and briefly to the abbot. Then he pressed the word on the bed with his shoe. Then the candle went out again.
Yuan Ming felt rather carefree in his heart. He groped in the dark for the idea of finding a thief. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that he had been wrongly accused by the thieves. Remembering how difficult it was for a thief to walk and how he was about to leave, he thought to himself, ”How many days have I practiced the Iron Head Art? The wounds caused by the thief being hit by me are definitely not any less than the injuries caused by me falling backwards. It was very possible that he hadn't escaped too far. Perhaps he was hiding somewhere, trying to survive. I'll go out and look for him. ” He hurried out of the room, locked the door, and jumped over the wall.
It turned out that the trees surrounding the temple were high up in the sky, and the treetops covered the sky and blotted out the sun. The trees whooshed in the wind. Yuan Ming could not hear the bandits' movements outside the wall, nor could he tell the direction in which the bandits had escaped to. He raised his head and said to the trees with hatred, ”You things are making noise randomly!”
He looked again at the thick trunks, and said to himself: ”The thief is too wounded to walk, and may be moaning behind some tree. ”See how I catch you!” He searched the trees one by one, and after some searching, he could not find the thief.
Yuan Ming panicked again as he thought to himself, ”No, okay. This delay of mine actually made the thieves run far away again.” He slapped his head and complained to himself: ”Too stupid!” In his anxiety, he said from the bottom of his heart, ”I have stolen Master's secret decree for nothing. I have read it many times but I am still so foolish! ”Why don't you want the thieves to run away?”
