Chapter 317 Mantis Catching Cicadas
After the two finished discussing the matter, Xu Dao and Zhuang Bufan split up and started to work.

Xu Dao increased the frequency of wandering around the Baichuan Water Dock, and released the news to the outside world. He is ready to accept the mission in the Taoist palace. Please pay attention to his disciples and contact the familiar Taoist priests. Gives the impression that he wants to pair up with someone.

After about two or three days, Zhuang Bufan was ready to go out, and Xu Dao had already revealed his whereabouts. If someone was secretly watching his movements, this time is enough time for the other party to react coming.

At the same time, the time can't be delayed for too long. If it is delayed for too long, if someone really wants to murder him, the other party's preparations will be more thorough. In this way, even with Taoist Zhuang Bufan as a helping hand, the risk of this trip will increase.

In this way, as soon as he received Zhuang Bufan's notification, Xu Dao immediately went to the hall in charge of handling chores in the Taoist Palace, accepted a task at random, and prepared to leave the next day.

During this period, he didn't make it known to everyone as he did when he first inquired about the mission, but returned to the talisman shop in a low-key manner, adjusting his state.

When the sky was slightly bright on the second day, Xu Dao left the Baichuan Water Dock alone, and ran towards Wudu City according to the agreed route, and sprinkled many scaled soldiers as his eyes and ears along the way.

Sure enough, as soon as Qicai left Baichuan Water Dock, he faintly noticed something was wrong.

Over the Erhai Lake, Xu Dao looked at the gradually thinning sea fog and the Wudu City looming in his eyes, with a cold look on his face:

"The Wuzhao tribe is really ruthless. I didn't expect that I just tried to catch a fish, and I couldn't bear it and jumped out."

"Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, they have endured it for nearly two years. This time I finally let down my vigilance and went out alone. Naturally, I couldn't let it go."

While he was thinking, the scaled soldiers spread out in a radius of several miles were all flying towards him, and exchanged with him what they saw and observed on the road.

Although there is nothing wrong with the memories conveyed by these scaled soldiers, the number of scaled soldiers flying back in a certain direction has decreased, and this direction has always been behind him!
According to Xu Dao's order to these soldiers: Once you notice someone is following you, you don't need to report back, just finish it on the spot, so as not to alarm the people who come.

In this case, it is obvious that someone is following him secretly.It's just that the opponent's methods are clever, and they are more cautious than the previous group, and it is difficult to be detected.

Fortunately, Xu Dao had a large number of scale soldiers as eyes and ears, and successfully caught the opponent's tail.

Just as he judged, there were two Taoists walking together more than five miles behind him.

The two Taoists are dressed in red and green, with a red robe and a green hat, respectively, and a green robe and a red hat, which look unique.If Xu Dao could see the two of them with his own eyes, he would be able to recognize their names at a glance: "Red and Green Shuangsha".

These two people are a pair of Taoist priests who are quite famous in the state of Wu. They came from a sect and are not from Taoist palaces. One of them practiced martial arts, and the other practiced the way of immortality. They cooperate with each other. Once a Taoist priest is targeted by them, it is impossible to escape them The siege.

Moreover, the cultivation base of the two Taoist priests is not low, they are both Taoist priests in the realm of Ningsha, which is a level higher than Xu Dao.Even if he is not a member of the Taoist palace with such a cultivation base, his status in Wu Guozhong is already quite respected, his strength is tyrannical, and not many people dare to provoke him.

And the reason why these two Taoist priests got the title of "Shuangsha" is not because they both have condensed evil spirits, but mainly because they are used to killing people, taking money, and killing people with money. It stinks, and even forced a Taoist priest's Dharma body to collapse and his cultivation base to be greatly reduced.

Although the red and green evil spirits were so unscrupulous and violated the majesty of the Taoist palace, neither the Wu court nor the Taoist palace had come forward to kill the two of them so far.

If Xu Dao knew that it was these two who came to chase and kill him, he would have guessed the inside story immediately. It was nothing more than that the Wuzhao tribe raised bandits for self-respect or they raised two vicious dogs.

"Hee hee!" The Taoist priest in red robe shrugged his nose, and said in his mouth, "This guy's footsteps have slowed down again, I'll stop first and distance myself."

Another Taoist priest in a green robe had a gloomy face and drank impatiently:
"Why does this guy stop and go? Could it be that he found a trace of someone? In my opinion, someone just jumped forward, hacked him to death, and then went back, so as not to delay other things."

The red robe suppressed the smile on his face, and said: "No, this place is Erhai Lake, and it belongs to the territory of the Taoist Palace. You must not make trouble here."

The red robe still looked enviously at the invisible Xu Dao's back, and said: "You and I are not from the Taoist palace, and there will be no death protection on it, so let's wait until he leaves Erhai Lake and Wudu City, and then find a way to end it." Drop him!"

"It's best to wait for him to do the task and when the mana is exhausted, the risk will be smaller then."

During the conversation, the red-robed Taoist priest fluttered his nostrils. He judged that Xu Dao was leaving again, and quickly beckoned his companions to continue to follow.This person is amazingly able to judge the distance from a person by smell, which is much better than a dog's nose.

And they are worthy of being murderers for many years. Although they despise Xu Dao in words, they are very cautious and seasoned in action.

This caused Xu Dao to realize that someone was following him, but he just didn't catch the other party's other clues, and he didn't even know how many people the other party had.

Xu Dao secretly judged in his heart: "The person who came is not good!"

After thinking for a while, he simply stopped walking and stopped, but collected all the scaled soldiers into the inner world, and then went straight to the capital of Wu, preparing to meet with Taoist Zhuang Bufan first, and then talk about other things.

And the red and green ghosts also followed him into the capital city of Wu, and only after they mixed into the crowd did the two get closer.During the recent scolding, the two of them were only a hundred steps away from Xu Dao, watching Xu Dao's every move.

"Sure enough, it's only in the early stage of foundation establishment. Even if it is hidden, it won't be too powerful. I really don't know how Lei Zhao's Ningsha Taoist fell into this person's hands?"

"There is no evidence yet to prove that it was this person who did it. I'm afraid it was someone else in the Dao Palace who took the blame for this person. Maybe he is looking for someone like us."

"But no matter what, the job is stable this time, and we can hand in the job today."

Xu Dao, who was scorned by the two, went into a restaurant to eat and drink, and walked out of Wudu City swaggeringly, choosing a direction and rushing away.

The Red and Green Shuangsha quickly followed closely behind.But what they didn't know was that not long after they followed, another Taoist carrying a bag walked out of a teahouse directly opposite, stepped on the spot, and followed them in the distance.
