Chapter 8: The Flying Fox Arrives as Scheduled
Entering the main room, the evening breeze blew gently, and there was a smell of burned paper money and candles.
Taking a closer look, the main room was not completely dark like other people's homes. Instead, it was very bright. It seemed that it was because of the presence of the "Jade Arhat".
The main hall is very large, about fifty square meters. There is a large red paper with the words "Heaven and Earth, Lord and Relative" pasted on the wall of the main hall, and portraits are hung on both sides. According to Shen Tianfu, they are all of his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, etc. There are more than ten portraits of people, which shows that the Shen family has always been a big family with many people and a long history.
There is a large chopping board-style table in front of the main hall, with many spiritual tablets placed on it, all of which are the memorial tablets of some deceased members of the Shen family. There are not too many, but there are still more than ten.
There is a chopping board above the spiritual tablet. The chopping board is about the size of a chopping board used by ordinary people to cut vegetables. It is round, white, and shining with bursts of light. It should be a piece of porcelain. However, what is placed on the chopping board is the Shen Tianfu flower. The "Jade Arhat" was bought at a large price to pray for blessings.
But seeing that the Jade Arhat had been shining with crystal light, the whole room seemed very bright. At this moment, Zhengyao, Zhou Miao and others had actually been stunned by this scene, especially Zhou Miao, whose eyes kept staring at He kept looking at the "Jade Arhat" for a long time, constantly getting strange looks.
No matter how good the thing is, it belongs to others, and Zhengyao has always adhered to the principle of neither opposing nor blindly following the teachings of gods, ghosts, Buddhas and Taoism. Therefore, even if he gets the so-called "Jade Arhat", it may not be Zhengyao. Yao would be so happy about this. How would he use this to ask God for divination and pray for blessings?
"It's flawless green and crystal clear. It's really a good piece of jade. Zhou has never seen such a treasure in his many years of work. It's really an eye-opener today!" Zhou Miao couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Tianfu smiled slightly and said: "Captain Zhou is about to get serious. In fact, money is an external possession. It may be worth thousands of gold or not worth a penny. But like floating clouds, the most important thing is the 'Arhat' himself. We ordinary people can have something to rely on." Can."
"That's right. What Mr. Shen said is absolutely true. Being sincere in everything will lead to spiritual success, and everything has nothing to do with money." Zhengyao nodded.
With that said, Zhengyao began to look around at the structure of the main room in preparation for successfully capturing the "Flying Fox" when it arrived.
The main room is surrounded by walls, and there is a closed paper window on the left side, one square meter in size; the entire room above the ceiling is covered tightly with ceramic tiles, leaving no gaps; there is a large door and a small door at the exit of the main room. The main door is the door through which Zhengyao and others enter the main room. The small door is opened on the left side of the main door and should be used for emergencies.
It seems that the structure of the main room is not complicated. As long as the main entrance is guarded, I believe it will not be easy for the "Flying Fox" to succeed.
So Zhou Miao immediately said: "I believe that the top priority is to quickly arrange manpower to prevent the 'Flying Fox' from stealing treasures. According to the previous arrangement, I and two guards will guard the gate, Brother Li will guard the small gate, and a few others will be sent The guardians are guarding the surroundings, and the 'Flying Fox' will surely be captured by then!"
Although the "Flying Fox" is a thief, he is also a thief, and he means what he says. If he says he will come tonight, he will definitely come. Therefore, with such a defense, Zhou Miao is not afraid of not being able to catch him.
Shen Tianfu stroked his slightly long beard and said, "Well, then just do what Captain Zhou said!"
"Okay. Let's start now. Brother Li, do you have any objections?" Zhou Miao immediately smiled at Zhengyao, with a trace of fish lines showing at the corners of his eyes.
Zhengyao didn't answer, just nodded, then turned and walked out the door.
Somehow, looking at Zhou Miao's smile and fish pattern, Zhengyao felt an indescribable uneasiness. Perhaps Zhengyao was too worried, perhaps because he was too nervous about the "Flying Fox".
Seeing Zheng Yao leaving the main room, Zhou Miao stopped talking nonsense and immediately left the main room together with Shen Tianfu.
Not long after, under Shen Tianfu's arrangement, a group of nursing homes began to fortify the hospital intensively. Within three times five times five times two times, everything was ready, just waiting for the arrival of the "Flying Fox".
According to the arrangement, Zhengyao guards the small gate and Zhou Miao guards the gate. Each performs its own duties and cooperates with each other. This is the best state. Zhengyao does not have any objections. For this reason, Zhengyao also hopes that the "Flying Fox" will hurry up. It would be a good idea to appear, then capture it and ask about the whereabouts of the "Pearl of the Sea".
I have been so busy, done so much, and waited for so long, but in the end it was just for the "Pearl in the Ocean".
As night falls, the moon shines, the stars twinkle, and it is peaceful.
At this time, we cannot take it lightly.
Zhengyao immediately had an intuition that the "Flying Fox" might have been dispatched.
"Knock-"
Suddenly there was a faint sound of the collision of tiles, which made Zhengyao frown: "Is it really here?"
After thinking about it, Zhengyao immediately took a few steps back towards the small door, and then looked at the roof.
"It was a false alarm. It turned out to be the sound of branches hitting the roof. It seems that I am indeed a little out of shape tonight." Zhengyao shook his head helplessly.
"Bang bang——"
Just as Zhengyao was relaxing, suddenly a more violent sound of broken tiles falling to the ground sounded, which made Zhengyao tremble again and suddenly shouted: "No!"
At the same time, Zhengyao immediately opened the door and wanted to go in and take a look.
However, unexpectedly, the small door could not be pushed open. It seemed that someone had locked the inside!
Zhengyao didn't think anything, simply bypassed the small door and ran straight to the front door.
But at this time, he discovered that the three guards at the door had been knocked unconscious. Zheng Yao pushed the door open and saw that the hall was in chaos, with all the spiritual tablets scattered around, and the ground was covered with tiles. There was also a hole in the roof, and most importantly - the "Jade Arhat" was missing!
"I'm so angry! He actually stole something under my nose. This 'Flying Fox' is really disgusting!" Zhengyao suddenly became furious.
But more than anything, he was blaming himself. There had obviously been a fight in the house, but Zhengyao didn't even notice it. It seemed that he must have been too engrossed in the matter just now and ignored the strange things around him.
Of course, Zhengyao didn't stay where he was. Instead, he grabbed a nurse who was knocked unconscious, slapped him awake, and then said: "What's going on? Who knocked you out, Captain Zhou?" Woolen cloth?"
The nurse practitioner actually woke up after being slapped by Zhengyao. Seeing Zhengyao's angry look, he understood that something must be wrong.
Then he hesitated and said: "Back to Mr. Li, I... I don't know. As for Captain Zhou, he should have gone to the latrine!"
"Cottage?"
A flash of strangeness suddenly flashed in Zhengyao's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly.
At this moment, Zhengyao subconsciously looked towards the roof opposite. He saw two people having a heated fight on the roof. One of them was wearing night clothes. If he guessed correctly, he must be the "Flying Fox"!
"'Flying Fox'!" Zhengyao shouted, immediately stepped up and floated directly to the roof of the hall opposite.
Upon entering, I saw that the other person was none other than Zhou Miao.
"You are so brave, you actually dare to break into Shen's Mansion at night and steal treasures. Let's see if I don't capture you!" Zhou Miao shouted, struck out with his machete, and immediately rushed forward.
"Don't spit on others with blood, who are you?"
The man in black dodged his figure, dodged the sword, and shouted in the air, his voice a bit louder than Zhou Miao's.
Seeing such a scene, Zhengyao suddenly felt a little strange. The man in black didn't know who he was. Wasn't he a "Flying Fox"?
However, Zhengyao was just confused in his heart for a while. However, his hand was not ambiguous at all. He struck out with a move of "Crossing the Top of the Cloud", followed closely by the "Pailing Cloud Strength".
When the man in black saw Zhengyao's attack, he couldn't help but be startled, and his steps slowed down for half a beat. He awkwardly took a half step back and barely dodged Zhengyao's palm. Zhengyao would not miss a good opportunity. Just as he struck out with his right palm, Immediately afterwards, the left hand came again, grabbed it casually, and directly took off the veil of the man in black!
"Fat man!"
"It's you!"
After the veil of the man in black was torn off by Zheng Yao, both Zheng Yao and Zhou Miao were stunned and looked at the man in black in surprise.
Yes, this fat man is none other than the slovenly fat man in the ruined temple. He is also the fat man who was beaten by a group of servants outside Shen's house before.
Zhengyao was also confused by this situation. Is the fat man who was calm, quiet, and cold-looking a thief? Or was he He Chong, the famous "Flying Fox" in the world? Zhengyao felt a little incredible.
However, when he heard Zhou Miao call out "It's you", Zhengyao looked over subconsciously, and saw Zhou Miao's face full of surprise and anger, as if the person in front of him was his enemy.
Because of this, Zhengyao's expression couldn't help but change. He looked at Zhou Miao from the left and Fatty from the right. A strange light kept flashing in his eyes, as if he had discovered some clue.
However, the three people stood there for ten seconds, but no one spoke or took action. The guards under the eaves couldn't see what was going on.
Shen Tianfu and Yuan Haiyun also walked out of the house appropriately. Apparently they also heard some movement outside the house.
"Fly...Flying Fox, it's Flying Fox!" Shen Tianfu shouted as soon as he saw the man in black on the roof.
For Shen Tianfu, although he has never seen the true face of the Flying Fox, the Flying Fox said that he would definitely come tonight, and it happened that the fat man on the roof was dressed in black. If it wasn't the Flying Fox, who could it be? Woolen cloth?
Yuan Haiyun has very good eyesight and can clearly see the situation upstairs at a glance. He couldn't help but said to himself: "That fat man is a flying fox? Could it be that the person before was right, that the person who knows the 'Pearl of the Sea' is the fat man?"
"Huh! It turns out it's you! The person who framed me turned out to be you! If I don't capture you tonight, I swear I won't give up!" Just when Zhengyao was still thinking about it, he saw the fat man suddenly pointing at Zhou Miao and making an angry sound. After drinking, he walked straight towards Zhou Miao in one stride.
Zhou Miao suddenly felt frightened, dodged in the air, and narrowly avoided Fatty's attack, turned around, and came to the other end of the roof.
The palm of the fat man just now was indeed powerful, and it could actually create a wave of aftermath, which made Zhou Miao feel a little shaken in his heart. However, at this moment, Zhou Miao's mouth wriggled from time to time, as if he was not feeling well.
