Inside the dry well in the backyard of the Zhang Family.
Du E and the others were drinking big bowls of wine, eating big chunks of meat, and bragging loudly. In order to please Du E, Zhang Dekang naturally did his best to cater to them. Therefore, this dilapidated dry well was as lively as a big restaurant!
Du E came from the Tantric Sect of India, so it was impossible for him to not have any rules and regulations. However, ever since he came to the Tang Empire, he was immediately blinded by the colorful world of the Central Plains. Especially after he accidentally tasted the Immortal Drunken Wine of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, the rules and regulations that Du E had adhered to for decades instantly collapsed! Moreover, once the rules were broken, they could no longer be adhered to. Therefore, Du E had become a monk who drank and ate!
Of course, he would not easily show this aspect of himself to the world. After all, he still had to maintain the image of an enlightened monk in front of the world!
"Who? Who's outside? "
Du E and the others had just finished drinking when they heard someone shouting from above the dry well.
"Huh? Not good! There are lackeys of the imperial court spying around the mansion. We can't let him leave alive! "
Du E was the first to react. He quickly put down his chopsticks, then got up and went to the direction of the well. He leaped into the air and directly rushed out of the dry well that was more than five feet deep!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
In an instant, the few core disciples of the Dragon Sect who followed Du E also relied on Qinggong to step on the wall of the well and rushed out of the well.
"Which direction?"
After Du E stood still on the ground, he looked at the manservant and asked in a deep voice.
The manservant obviously did not expect that someone could directly fly out of the dry well that was more than five feet deep without the help of ropes and well wheels. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He quickly pointed to the northwest outside the back door and said, "Reporting to the Venerable One, just … just now, I heard some movement outside the back door. Then, I heard someone shouting, followed by a series of footsteps. I think that person ran from the northwest direction!"
"Hoo ~!"
As soon as the manservant finished speaking, he found that Du E, who was originally standing in front of him, had disappeared without a trace. The other four Dragon Sect core disciples who had just come up from the well also hurriedly followed and flew out of the Zhang Family's backyard!
"What an unlucky year. Why am I so unlucky today? I've climbed so many trees in the mountains before and never fell. Why did something happen today? It's over! It's over! If the person hiding in the Zhang Family catches him, he'll be finished! "
In the alleyway of Gui Yi Lane, the young girl dragged her sprained left leg and ran with all her might while limping. As she ran, she muttered softly.
At this moment, the girl really had the urge to cry!
"Don't chase after me, none of you can see me!"
The girl prayed silently in her heart.
But many times, praying was praying, and the reality was always contrary to one's wishes!
"Hmph! So it's a little girl? "
Just as the young girl ran out of the street where the Zhang Mansion was located, she suddenly heard a whistling sound and a cold snort.
With that said, a bald monk in a black robe stood in front of the young girl, completely blocking her path!
"You … You … Aren't you Venerable Du E of the Heavenly Dragon Sect? Why are you stopping me? "
Because Du E 'came out in a hurry' this time, he didn't wear a wide bamboo hat on his head. After the young girl saw the big monk's true appearance, a trace of panic flashed through her eyes. Then, she pointed at Du E and questioned him loudly, trying to put up a strong front.
The reason why she shouted so loudly was that she wanted to attract the attention of the people nearby. In this way, she might have a chance to live today!
"Oh? You know me? "
Although Du E had seen through the young girl's thoughts, he did not expose her. A playful smile appeared on his face. After pausing for a moment, he took two steps forward and said with a serious face, "Little girl, how do you know this Venerable One? Tell me, who sent you here? "
Although there was no threat in his words, his tone was much stricter than before, and even had a trace of murderous intent!
The young girl was very frightened, but she didn't show it on her face because of Du E's words. She forced herself to be calm and said, "What do you mean by who sent me here? I'm just passing by here, why are you chasing me? Besides, ten days ago, you were in Chang 'an City showing your Buddha skills to the people. I was there at that time. Is it strange that I know you? "
Hearing this, Du E's eyes flashed. He believed the second half of the young girl's words, but he didn't believe a single word of the first half of the sentence!
"Oh? Passing by? Just passing by? "
Du E's aura changed and said coldly, "Heavenly Dragon Sect is now listed as a disobedient sect by the imperial court. Now that you know where I'm hiding, are you planning to report this information to the imperial court to receive a reward?"
"… Of course not! I don't know anyone from the imperial court. Even if I know you're hiding here, who can I report this information to? "
Although the young girl wanted to say "yes", but in order to survive, she could only desperately deny it.
Du E snorted and sneered, "Hmph! You think I'll believe your nonsense? If you know what's good for you, you'll come with me today. After the commotion dies down, I'll let you go! "
Hearing this, the young girl hurriedly took two steps back and said, "Why are you being so unreasonable? I said I'm just passing by. If you don't believe me, then forget it! But you're now a wanted criminal of the imperial court. If you dare to act rashly, I'll shout for help! If the patrolling Wu Hou hears the commotion, you won't be able to leave! "
"Heh! Then, why don't you try shouting?! See if anyone will come to help you! "
Du E sneered, and then he disappeared from where he stood. In the next moment, he was in front of the young girl. It happened so fast that the young girl had no time to react. Du E's large hand grabbed the young girl's shoulder!
"Ah ~!"
The young girl finally couldn't hold back and screamed in horror. Then, she desperately retreated backwards, wanting to avoid Du E's big hand. However, she didn't know any martial arts, so how could she escape from a Grandmaster's full strength grasp?
Feeling that the hand was getting closer and closer to her shoulder, the young girl's heart was filled with despair and regret. She regretted that she was too greedy and had to get involved in this muddy water for the imperial court's reward. She also regretted that she wasn't careful when she went down the tree. Otherwise, she would have already left and passed the news to Li Zexuan!
"Hmph! How do you know that no one will help her? "
At the critical moment when Du E's large hand was less than two inches away from the young girl's shoulder, another voice suddenly sounded from the street.
This voice made Du E's expression change instantly, but the young girl's face was full of joy after surviving a disaster!
