Chapter 1601: Fu Ji

"Okay!" Ye Qiutang agreed immediately.

At the next fork in the road, which was hidden behind a courtyard wall and was relatively remote, the visibility was particularly poor at night. Ye Qiutang and others stopped and watched Fatty Jiangcheng chase to the small path on the left.

When Huide and his group behind them caught up, Ye Qiutang and others made a big noise, and after leaving Huide with their backs, they quickly fled to the stone road on the right.

Fatty Jiangcheng chased after him relentlessly, and gradually, the dozen monks in front of them scattered, leaving only the figure of Monk Huicong looming.

"Master Huicong, don't run away, it's us!"

The fat man panted and shouted loudly. He couldn't understand how Monk Huicong, who looked so weak, could have such good physical strength.

And the surrounding environment became unfamiliar. He and the doctor had never been here before. The surrounding buildings were shadowy against the gray background, like huge monsters.

Finally, after turning a gate, they completely lost the trace of Monk Huicong.

Jiang Cheng immediately signaled the fat man to stop, and the two of them pricked up their ears to listen carefully. It was very quiet around here.

Sure enough, they heard a subtle sound, which felt like someone was walking slowly on the ground on tiptoe.

They slowed down their pace and moved towards the direction of the sound. After passing through a grove of trees, they saw an antique building in front of them.

The building was magnificent, but it could be seen that it was very dilapidated. The bluestone steps outside the door were scattered with withered yellow leaves.

"There!" The fat man suddenly raised his hand excitedly and pointed in a direction.

Looking in the direction of his finger, Jiang Cheng just saw a side door of the building opened a gap that was roughly enough for a person to enter sideways, and then the gap was closed from the inside.

Someone!

Fatty Jiangcheng rushed over quickly. The building was quiet and there was no light. Their feet stepped on the dead leaves, making bursts of cracking sounds. The sound was unsettling in this environment.

Slowly, chaotic sounds came from the road they came from, and there was a faint flicker of fire in the distance.

"Oh no!" Fatty's heart sank, "It's Monk Huide and the others who are chasing us!"

There are not many places to hide people nearby, Jiangcheng made up his mind, "Let's go in."

Quickly coming to the half-closed door, Jiangcheng stretched out his hand to push the door open. The shabby vermilion threshold was very high. He stepped in before Fatty, but Fatty didn't know whether he was nervous or didn't see clearly, and he actually tripped on the threshold and fell in. Jiangcheng subconsciously went to help him, but the scene in his peripheral vision made his blood run cold instantly. He saw a vague figure standing behind him and Fatty.

Jiangcheng immediately reacted that Fatty didn't trip himself, but was pushed in by this person!

The next second, the man stretched out his right hand to grab him and dragged him out, and the man just grabbed his broken left hand.

The severe pain made him feel dazed for a moment. The footsteps and fire outside were getting closer and were about to pass through the bushes.

The man outside seemed to know that he could not succeed, so he reached into his clothes with his left hand and quickly made a waving motion in front of Jiang Cheng.

The next second, Jiang Cheng could not see, and there was a burst of pain. Jiang Cheng's first reaction was that it was bad. The other party might have spread lime. Once this despicable trick succeeded, it would ruin the opponent's eyes.

But after a while, he did not feel the severe burning sensation, but now he could not care much. He heard that the man seemed to have run away, so he immediately got up and fumbled to close the door. At the same time, the fat man also climbed up.

"How are you?" Jiang Cheng asked in a low voice.

The fat man's voice was hazy, and it was obvious that he had fallen seriously just now, "It hurts, I feel dizzy..."

"I can't open my eyes now, hurry up, let's find a place to hide quickly." The footsteps of the people outside were getting closer and closer.

"It's too dark in here, and I can't see clearly. I'll help you walk in." The fat man supported Jiang Cheng, and the two tried their best to control their footsteps, limping slowly.

Then the fat man helped Jiang Cheng sit down, and Jiang Cheng leaned his back on something with an arc. He touched it with his hand and confirmed that it was a pillar. Judging from the size of the pillar, this building was more magnificent than he imagined.

At this moment, the footsteps also came to the door of the building, almost stopping at the position of the door that Jiang Cheng and his friends had just entered, "Where are the people?" The exasperated voice of Monk Huide sounded.

"No, Brother Huide, we have searched everywhere around here." Huiming's voice also rang out, "Will they...will they go around in circles and sneak back?"

"Let's go back and find them!"

"Remember, we must catch them alive. These people are too disrespectful of the temple rules of our Zhijie Temple. They must pay the price!"

"And Brother Huicong, his inner demon is too strong, and the abbot's efforts for him are in vain! We must make him cultivate enough merits!"

The messy footsteps gradually faded away, and the fat man dared to move his body until the surroundings were completely quiet. "Doctor, they are gone. They are holding torches, and the flames are completely invisible."

Jiang Cheng was very uncomfortable in this position. He stretched out his right hand, wanting the fat man to pull him up, but the next second, an old voice sounded in their ears.

"Don't move."

The voice was not loud, but it instantly alerted Jiang Cheng Fatty. There were more than two of them in this building!

"You... who are you?" The fat man's voice was trembling.

But this time, the other party did not answer again, and after this incident, Fatty Jiang Cheng really did not dare to move again.

A few minutes later, there was a voice outside the door, which had fallen into silence. This voice made Jiang Cheng sweat coldly on his forehead, "Brother Huide, it seems that they have really left and are not here."

"Hmph! Let's go."

There were about 5 or 6 footsteps outside the door, Huide and Huiming were among them. I think these people just said to me that they were leaving, but in fact the main force had left, and they stayed quietly and lay outside the door.

If there was no warning from that voice, this time it might really be a disaster.

When it was quiet outside the door, the old voice sounded again, but this time it was a sigh, "Get up, they are gone."

"Thank you for your help, may I ask who you are?" Jiang Cheng had never heard of this voice, but it sounded like the other party was very old.

"Amitabha, I am Fu Ji, the abbot of Zhijie Temple."

Accompanied by the old voice chanting a Buddhist name, the fat man shivered, "Abbot...Abbot..."
