Chapter 6 Surrounded
“I was thinking of leaving early, but I thought you might suddenly change your mind, so I decided to wait a little longer. If you don’t come by dawn tomorrow, then you’ll leave. As for why you’re running away,” Klin said, pulling Shang Yun to sit down by the roadside.
"It's because I suddenly realized that if you were to run away, there wouldn't be any handymen disciples left in the Duolin Temple for a short time. The senior brothers on the mountain didn't chase after us before because there were other handymen disciples working, but now that there aren't, they should come after us." Kelin analyzed to Shang Yun with a serious expression.
"Huh?! That can't be right?! Duolin Temple is the most powerful force within dozens of miles. There should be many people who come here to learn cultivation. How come there are no menial disciples?" Shang Yun was no longer surprised as before. He was filled with panic. If those senior brothers chased after them, the two of them alone would not be able to defeat them.
"We didn't chase after them before because Duolin Temple didn't need many people. There were too many people who came to become disciples, and there were always poor boys who couldn't afford money and became menial disciples. Now we don't need to anymore. It's not new that menial disciples at Duolin Temple have a hard time. The story of the menial disciples who escaped before has already spread. At first, there were only one or two people, and no one believed it. But as more people came, everyone started to doubt it. Now, far fewer people go to Duolin Temple to become disciples and cultivate. Poor people don't dare to go up there. Otherwise, Senior Brother wouldn't have led people down the mountain to recruit disciples. I heard all of this just now at the noodle shop." Seeing that Shang Yun didn't believe him, Kelin hurriedly explained.
"Ah! What do we do? Let's run! Do you know which way? Which way should we run?" Shang Yun asked anxiously. No wonder there were only a dozen or so people in the entire Duolin Temple.
"Don't even think about running away, hide quickly!" Klin stared ahead, patted Shang Yun, bent down, and crawled into the bushes.
"What?" Shang Yun turned his head and saw three monks from Duolin Temple swaggering into the noodle shop. The one in the lead was none other than his fifth senior brother. He immediately dared not make a sound and followed Kelin into the bushes.
The bushes were less than ten meters from the noodle shop, and Shang Yun and his group, unaware of the situation inside, dared not make any rash moves.
Shang Yun then remembered that he possessed the ability of the Heavenly Eye, but using it required consuming mental energy, and given Shang Yun's current state, he wasn't sure if he could use it.
"Give it a try," Shang Yun thought, concentrating his mind and staring at the wall of the noodle shop. He silently recited "Activate the Heavenly Eye." The wall in front of him instantly became transparent, and Shang Yun saw the noodle shop owner talking to his fifth senior brother. The fifth senior brother was turning his head to look at the spot where Klin had jumped out of the window earlier.
Shang Yun sensed something was wrong and was about to tell Kelin when everything went black, and he collapsed to the ground. It seemed he was exhausted. Fortunately, he regained consciousness after a while, but he could no longer use his Heavenly Eye. Perhaps this was the nature of righteous supernatural powers; if you can't use it, you can't use it, and you won't be forced to use it even if it harms you. But he had only used it for three seconds.
When Kelin saw Shang Yun lying face down on the ground with his butt sticking out, he assumed he had fallen accidentally and quickly went to help him up: "Are you alright?"
"It's alright, Senior Brother Kelin. They're probably here to arrest us. What should we do?" Shang Yun shook his head and said.
"run."
"Where do you want to run?"
"do not know!"
"what……"
"No, they're out."
The two quickly lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound or move, and both of them stuck their buttocks out.
As the footsteps drew closer and then faded away, the two still dared not look up.
"Senior Brother Kelin, have they gone far?" Shang Yun scratched his butt and asked softly.
"They should be far away by now. They only wanted to capture two of us menial disciples, but three people came. They really take this seriously. That fifth senior brother is strong and has good defense, but he's not fast. He's probably here to lead the team and just come down the mountain for fun. The ones who really put in the work are those two." Klin didn't dare to look up either.
After a moment, Kelin said, "Shangyun, I've thought of a way. We definitely can't escape if we run together. We'll split up and run to the two sides, and finally meet up in Donglin City in the east. The first one there will wait at the first restaurant on the far east side of Donglin City."
Just as Shang Yun was about to agree, he heard something.
"Haha, you two are lying in the grass like pigs, eating? Now let's see where you run to."
It's Fifth Senior Brother! What should we do? Shang Yun and his companion hurriedly turned around to run, only to find two people already standing behind them, arms crossed, looking at them with amusement.
Shang Yun glanced at Klin, who was trembling all over.
Shang Yun saw that although the three had surrounded them, the damp grass prevented them from entering and they could still run away. Seeing that Klin was gradually calming down, Shang Yun patted him on the shoulder. The two looked at each other, gave each other a shove, and then ran in opposite directions.
At this moment, the three from Dorinji Temple had not yet reacted, and probably did not expect that the two would still dare to run away under such circumstances.
"Quick, after them!" the fifth senior brother shouted. The other two then each went off in a different direction.
Shang Yun didn't know which direction he was running in, but he was certain it wasn't towards Duolin Temple. Never mind, he just needed to shake off the pursuers. Just as he was thinking of putting in more effort, a sharp pain shot through his back. He stumbled and fell to the ground, sliding forward a short distance due to the momentum, getting a mouthful of mud. Luckily, it was all mud, so it didn't cut his skin. Before he could turn around, someone grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.
The man picked up Shang Yun, walked to the fifth senior brother, and threw him down. Shang Yun was already unable to stand up.
"Run! Why aren't you running anymore! With your small frame, you dare to resist? If it weren't for your delicious cooking, I would have beaten you to death today." Fifth Brother said smugly, "Let's take you into the noodle shop first."
Shang Yun was lifted up again.
As I entered the noodle shop, it was already getting dark, and there were no other customers. The owner, a man who looked to be in his thirties, quickly walked over and greeted me with a cupped hand: "Fifth Brother, you've caught him? Come quickly, the food is all ready."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yun realized that the noodle shop was also owned by Duolin Temple. No wonder it was discovered so quickly; there must be quite a few people from Duolin Temple in this village.
"Alright, let's eat, let's eat. It's almost dark. Lock this kid in the woodshed first. Once we find Klin, we'll go back together tomorrow." The fifth senior brother's eyes narrowed into slits with joy at the mention of good food. He turned to the disciple carrying Shang Yun and said.
"Yes." The disciple picked up Shang Yun and headed for the backyard.
"boom!"
A loud crash came from outside. From the doorway, a stone pillar was seen leaning against the ground, and a person was seen climbing down from it. This person had long black hair, braided into a long braid, and appeared to be middle-aged. His eyes were gloomy, and he had a triangular face, a mustache, and a widow's peak, making him look like a complete villain. He was wearing Chinese-style clothes, with a pink upper body. As he slowly walked towards the noodle shop, you could see that there was only one character on the front of his clothes: "Kill".
