It was impossible to go empty-handed like this, so the two of them went to find the old man with some little things in mind.
But when they found his house, the door was closed.
Zhang Dabiao knocked on the door several times and shouted several times in succession, but there was no movement inside.
At this time, an aunt passed by and looked at them with strange eyes.
Judging from her appearance, she was probably a nearby neighbor, so Zhang Dabiao walked up and asked.
"Auntie, do you know the old man who lives here? Why don't you see anyone else?"
"Oh, you're talking about Lao Chengtou, right?"
"Yes...yes, I saw him yesterday. Why come today when I come to see him, there is no one at home."
"Old Chengtou moved away yesterday afternoon. I don't know where exactly he went. If you have nothing important to do, just go back."
"Then do you know why he moved away?"
"I have never had any contact with him, and he is a weirdo. You said he is old and walks alone. Where can he move? It is probably to find his son and grandson."
In fact, Zhang Dabiao didn't think much about finding anyone else, he just wanted to say thank you.
Since the person is gone, forget it.
The two left town.
On the way back to the car, Gerry looked at Zhang Dabiao and hesitated to speak.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't act like this, I won't care about you." Zhang Dabiao looked out the window and said nonchalantly.
"It's...it's nothing serious. I just want you to send me back to the Holy See."
"Isn't your mission to find Master Xuanling? You want to go back even before he is found?"
"All the clues have been confirmed. I have been to the town, the temple, and all the places I should go to. I can't find anyone. It almost cost my life. What can I do? I can't keep going.
There is no point in running with you."
"What you said makes sense."
"You mean you agree with me leaving?"
Zhang Dabiao thought for a moment and nodded.
Gerry's excitement was almost the same as the excitement of escaping from the Sun and Moon Temple. He wanted to rush up and hug Zhang Dabiao and spin him around for a few times.
During this time, he has been worried about the situation of the Holy See.
Now that he can finally go back, how can he not be excited?
Even if you go back, you may face difficulties from your own Pope.
However, this matter was originally the fault of the Holy See, who wanted to snatch something from Zhang Dabiao that did not belong to them.
Wait for him to go back and see if he can mediate the conflict between the two parties.
"Zhang Dabiao, thank you." Gerry said sincerely.
"It's quite strange that the great bishop actually said such kind words to me. Don't forget that I threatened you along the way. I almost lost my life. Is it a bit hypocritical to say thank you here?"
"I'm not so stingy as to argue with you. The reason why I thank you is because I want to thank you for letting me return to the Holy See."
"Don't worry, my people won't do anything to you if you have my order."
With Zhang Dabiao's words, Gerry felt relieved.
Compared with the difficulty when they came, the return journey was obviously much easier.
Since they left in the afternoon, they had to find a hotel to stay at at night.
Zhang Dabiao had not slept well for several days. He finally found a place to rest, and he didn't care whether the environment was good or not, so he fell asleep.
The person was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by someone.
Zhang Dabiao started to curse, but when he saw it was Gerry, he swallowed the words back and spoke dissatisfied.
"It's so late at night, if you don't sleep well, why are you here with me?"
Gerry made a silent gesture to him, signaling him not to speak.
Gradually, Zhang Dabiao noticed something was wrong. There seemed to be footsteps outside the door.
Before the two could hide, they saw two men in black pushing open the door and entering.
When their eyes met, Zhang Dabiao immediately took action and subdued the two of them together with Gerry.
Not long after, two men in black were tied to the ground.
Zhang Dabiao pulled off the black cloth on the face of one of them, revealing a delicate face.
"Tell me, you are so handsome, why do you do something bad and do such harming things?"
"Zhang Dabiao, don't stop preaching to me. I can't beat you. I'll kill you or chop you into pieces!"
"Hey, you have quite a temper!"
Zhang Dabiao focused on the other person, who was being pressed to the ground by Gerry.
"I urge you to tell me honestly who sent you here."
"We will never say a word!" The older man in black looked directly at Zhang Dabiao with no fear on his face.
Zhang Dabiao didn't say anything. He took out the knife from somewhere and chopped it directly on the man's finger.
When the knife fell from his hand, the man's little finger was cut off.
"To say or not to say?"
"I will never..."
The man was only halfway through his words when he suddenly screamed.
And his hand had been chopped off by Zhang Dabiao.
"Master!" The younger man in black looked at this scene and couldn't help shouting, with distress on his face, "You let my master go!"
"Master?" Zhang Dabiao understood clearly, "From the names of the two of you, I guess they come from a sect in the world, but I don't know what this sect is..."
"Just give up on this idea, I will never tell you our identities!"
Zhang Dabiao glanced at the young man and suddenly laughed, "It's now time. It's not up to you to say anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the man in black.
The man's hand was cut off and was bleeding continuously. He endured the pain and looked at Zhang Dabiao fiercely.
There was more and more blood, and the smell of blood became stronger.
Zhang Dabiao didn't seem to notice, a smile slowly appeared on his face, then he raised his hand and stabbed the opponent's leg fiercely.
Before the pain on his hand had eased, he was stabbed again on his leg. The older man in black screamed in pain.
"Master!" The young man was worried.
"Leave me alone, I, I can still..."
Before he finished speaking, another burst of screams broke out.
Just because Zhang Dabiao raised his hand again and stabbed him several times in the leg.
There were wounds everywhere on the man's legs, and blood was flowing out. It looked terrible.
After a while, his breath became weaker and weaker, and he could no longer even scream.
Immediately afterwards, he fainted.
Zhang Dabiao then stopped what he was doing and looked at the young man with a smile, "How do you feel when you see your master become like this?"
"I must kill you! I want you to pay for my master's life!"
"Want to stand up for your master? Then you have to consider your own abilities first. Besides, I didn't kill your master. He is still alive. But if you don't speak and drag it on, he may
He is really dead."
The young man was about to reply when he was interrupted by Zhang Dabiao.
"As long as you tell me the whole truth, I will never touch you two. I have no patience. This is your last chance."
