Panshi opened the way in front, Yang Yu walked in the middle holding the light wheel, and next to him was Panyu.
The three of them maintained this formation, bypassed the main road in the middle of the village, chose a wild path that looked walkable, and entered next to the cliff.
The night was dark, but fortunately, with the Buddha's light in Yang Gu's hand as a light source, he and Pan Yu could both follow Pan Shi's footsteps.
It was just that there was silence in the deep darkness all around. Only the sound of their footsteps, no matter how soft they were, was still infinitely amplified in their ears.
The entire village was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The three of them were all a little nervous, but they pretended to be calm. No one knew whether anyone was really calm. They all thought that the person next to them was very calm, and they used this as a source of confidence.
In this way, they walked for about a quarter of an hour. As long as their steps were not slow, they quickly walked from the beginning of the village to near the end of the village.
Seeing that he would be able to leave the village in a while, and walk a few hundred steps before embarking on the right path to the Xiyue River, Panshi couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart.
It seems that the decision to go to Xiyue River some time in advance was right. It happened to be before other colleagues arrived here, and they perfectly missed the possibility of bumping into other monks.
However, he has not completely left the village yet, and it is not the time to be happy. Panshi can only continue to open the way ahead silently.
After walking for a while, nothing happened.
But at this moment, Panyu, who was walking at the end, suddenly spoke softly.
"Senior brother..."
The sound was very small, like a mosquito or fly, but it was very clear in such an environment.
Pan Shi and Yang Yu both stopped and turned to look at her in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"I...I have a bad feeling..."
Panyu said hesitantly, and subconsciously moved closer to Yang Gu, closing the distance a little bit.
"what have you found?"
Panshi asked immediately, and Yang Yu suddenly became nervous.
"No, I didn't find anything. I just had a bad feeling."
"..."
After hearing Pan Yu's words, Pan Shi and Yang Yu were both speechless.
Both of them were very nervous at first, and Yang Yu even subconsciously reached out to her waist. There was a knife hidden there, ready to bleed herself.
Who knew that Panyu would suddenly say such a thing.
"Go on your way honestly, don't be surprised."
Panshi couldn't help but scolded her softly and prepared to move on.
But when Panyu saw that neither of them believed her, she quickly said:
"I've seen a movie, and there's a line in it that says: When you feel you're almost safe, that's when you're most dangerous! I think that's what we're like now..."
"..."
To be honest, if it weren't for the difference between men and women, Yang Yu would have wanted to shut her mouth.
This is simply a matter of which pot should not be opened. In this case, saying this is equivalent to raising a flag, and even Yang Gu suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
This premonition is actually contagious!
Of course, Pan Shi could not understand the meaning of the movie and the lines in Pan Yu's mouth, but it did not prevent him from understanding the second half of the sentence and immediately rolled his eyes.
"close……"
Pan Shi immediately wanted to tell Pan Yu to shut up, but as soon as he blurted out a word, his words stopped abruptly.
In the darkness, at some point, a figure appeared beside the three of them.
At the same time, Yang Yu, who was standing next to Pan Shi, could almost clearly see that all the flesh and skin on Pan Shi's body were shaking violently.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and it was silent.
"hey-hey!"
"You're right, little girl, if you want to sneak past here, you really don't take me seriously."
Almost instantly, as soon as this strange voice sounded, Yang Yu and the other two quickly retreated instinctively without thinking.
With the help of the Buddha's light in Yang Yu's hand, they could clearly see the stranger who suddenly appeared.
Wearing a dirty and tattered monk's robe, his hair has grown to his waist, his face is full of dirt, his back is hunched, and he is holding a straight branch in his hand.
Although you can't see the face clearly, you can be sure that the person who comes is definitely not a kind person!
Now what Panyu said came true, and it came true so quickly that people were caught off guard.
What a crow’s mouth!
The visitor appeared very suddenly, but Pan Shi remained calm and stretched out his hand to bow to the visitor.
"May I ask who you are, fellow Taoist? I am a disciple of Roushu Zhenren in Xiasan Songshan Mountain. We are passing through here, and we do not mean to offend you."
As the saying goes, if you don't hit someone with a smiling face, you must first reveal your identity and show your identity. If there has never been any quarrel or past between the two parties, they will basically give face. It depends on whether the other party will accept this trick.
"hey-hey."
But when Panshi announced his door, the hunchbacked Taoist let out a strange laugh.
"Master Tao doesn't care what you say about Four Song Mountain or Five Song Mountain. If you went there openly, I might pretend not to see Master Tao, but you are so sneaky, obviously you don't take Master Tao seriously. Today Master Dao has to follow you."
You guys talk about it carefully!"
It is obvious that the hunchbacked Taoist does not accept this trick at all.
Pan Shi's face immediately turned ugly, as the other party made it clear that they were going to take action against them.
"We are strangers to our Taoist friends. Why do you want to embarrass us? Why don't you just pretend that you have never met us and just keep a secret in your work so that we can meet each other in the future?"
"What are you thinking about, kid? Since Master Dao is standing in front of you, if you don't get something, can he let you go so easily?"
"what do you want?"
Panshi looked at him intently, and his tone began to become rude.
He now knows that the other party has obviously set his sights on them, just like a dog that has bitten a bone and will not let go until it is eaten.
The Taoist smiled again, pointed the stick in his hand at Panyu beside Yang Yu, and looked at Panyu's waist.
"Little girl, if Master Dao sees it right, is that a small Xumi bag?"
Looking at the Taoist with disgusting eyes, Panyu immediately reached out to block the small sumeru bag hanging on her waist. She understood almost instantly what the Taoist wanted.
This little Sumeru bag was given by her most beloved master uncle in the sect. Such precious things cannot be accessed by ordinary monks. There are only a handful of people in Sansong Mountain who have such treasures, and the same is true in other places.
It can be said that if an ownerless little Sumeru bag appears, a bunch of monks will definitely fight for it like hungry wolves.
"No, no, you are wrong, this is a sachet!"
Panyu hurriedly covered it up, but anyone who saw her like this would know that she was lying and had no acting skills at all.
"Hand it over. If you hand it over, the Taoist Master will let you go. If you don't hand it over, then the Taoist Master will come and get it myself. As for what will happen next, the Taoist Master will not care about it."
As he spoke, the Taoist smiled strangely and slowly approached Panyu.
Yang Yu stood in front of Pan Yu with a numb scalp, but the Taoist completely ignored him, as if he didn't take him seriously at all, and didn't even look at him.
Now this man is obviously planning to kill them!
And just as the Taoist was pressing forward step by step, the rock on the side also moved at the same time.
"What a big mouthful! I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it!"
Since the other party has made its purpose unabashedly clear, conflict is obviously inevitable, so Panshi just ignores it.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, please help me take care of my junior sister!"
After saying that, Panshi rushed towards the Taoist with a single stride.
