These six people were sworn brothers of the line, among them the name Gan Xing Yi; the second name Qu Lu Ping; the third name Zou Ren Sheng; the fourth, Zhao Yonggang; the fifth, Yang Dazhi; and the sixth, Zhang Ming. Everyone recognized a few words and knew how to read the "Three Character Classic" and "The Family Name".
Among them, there were many who were wily and wily. No matter what they did, they would always listen to him. Zhang Tingxiao's character was also quite good when compared to those five people.
Today, when they first arrived at the Supreme White House, the brothers were still quite cautious. Zhang Tingxiao brought Zhao Yonggang and Yang Dazhang to check out the room first. Thus, they all became careless.
Eunuch Liu had just left when the old man selling bananas continued to shout, "Sweet and fragrant bananas! There isn't much left, come and buy! If you don't come to buy, this old man will get hungry and close the stall. " The greedy Zhao Yonggang said first, "Don't let the old man scream all the time. Let's go and give him some food to eat." The others looked at Zhang Tingxiao.
Zhang Tingxiao was afraid of causing trouble, so he hesitated for a moment before deciding not to go. Zhao Yonggang pulled him up and said, "Sixth Brother, what are you hesitating for? We've looked inside, and there's no hidden danger. In such a desolate place, there were few passers-by. Nothing would happen to him. Besides, the Japanese had not come yet. It won't take long for us to eat a few bananas. Let's go together. "Average payment."
Yang Dazhi also said, "Yes, eating bananas at this time is also our blessing. Fourth brother was right. Sixth brother was too cautious. "Let's go with Fourth Bro." He also went forward to entangle Zhang Tingxiao.
Thus, the two of them pulled Zhang Tingxiao, and the six of them laughed and laughed merrily as they arrived in front of the banana stand. They saw that the bananas were in bad color and looked as if they were rotting. Some were black, some were yellow, and some were mottled.
Zhang Tinghua said to the old man, "Shopkeeper, most of your bananas are broken. On the scale, we are not worth it. We don't want the rotten bananas for free. You don't have much left. Let's just do this: let's pick out the food from it, finish it, and pay you some capital. You throw it away. What do you think? "
Zhao Yonggang was anxious to eat it, and seeing the old man shake his head in disagreement, he added, "Old man, it's settled. Only goods are good for the heart. Don't make a mistake, you haven't had a buyer for a long time. Are you afraid that we will not pay you back for free? "
As he spoke, he patted his pockets a few times. Immediately, the sound of coins being paid could be heard. Without waiting for the old man's permission, he first picked up a yellow one, peeled off its skin and ate it. The others also began to make their selection one after another. The booth was soon in chaos.
Seeing that he was going to be unlucky if he did not agree, the old man begged, "Masters, you can eat whatever you want, but please forgive me. Nowadays, it's not easy to support a family, and it's even harder to do small businesses. I can't make money, but don't let me lose it. I still have to buy and sell. "
The six of them did not listen to him as they rummaged through their stalls, rummaged through their baskets, and threw bananas on the ground. If anything went wrong, they would be pushed aside and thrown away. The six of them fought to be the first to eat while simultaneously choosing, afraid that they would eat less.
Yuan Shikai and Liu Gonggong had just called for someone at the door, but the old man heard and did not dare to tell them, afraid that they would run away in a panic and not pay. The slap that Eunuch Liu had just made was precisely on Zhao Yonggang. Because of his sorry state, he had also hit him right. It was all because of him that he made such a mistake.
As for the six people, they chased after the monk for a long distance. They only saw a few Taoists on their way, but they did not see the monk. All the way out of the street, the six of them were stunned. He saw that they had reached the intersection. The six of them stopped and looked around, not knowing where the monk had fled to. He wanted to ask someone, but there was no one from the other side. Zhang Tingxiao said anxiously, "There's no need to ask anyone. That monk won't be able to run far. We'll split up and chase after him." If the time is wasted, then that monk will run far away. "
Due to the urgency of the matter, they were not allowed to stop. The six of them immediately agreed. Gan Xingyi and Kuang Lu Ping chased after them. Zou Rensheng and Yang Dazhu chased after them. Zhang Tinghua and Zhao Yonggang then passed through Hengduan and hurried to chase after him to the north. The three groups of people were on their way, chasing after him with all their might. They scared the pedestrians out of their wits and wondered why they were running so fast. The three groups of people did not care to ask, only chasing after the monks, chasing after the pedestrians one after another. Seeing that they were not monks, they continued to chase after them. In the end, they were too tired to run anymore.
Zhang Tinghua sat on the ground and gasped, "This is the first time in my life I've run like this. I really can't run anymore. "
Zhao Yonggang also said, "I've never run like this before. I can't run anymore."
Zhang Tingxiao said doubtfully, "The direction we are going in may be wrong. How could that monk be so fast? What happened between the front and back! Even if we cannot catch up to him, we should at least be able to see his figure. "
He thought for a while and said, "Let's not chase them for now. We should ask the people on the other side first."
The two of them gazed into the distance as they fell into their trap. He saw a middle-aged man walking towards them with a donkey in his hand.
Zhang Xianhua stood up and greeted, "Big Brother, may I ask if you've met a fat monk with a black bag on his back on your way here?"
The man did not pay much attention, he turned around and pointed, "I did. The monk was not far down the slope ahead. However, I didn't see what he was holding. It seems like he was holding something with his hands empty. "
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."
