Chapter 473: Tang Gou turtle, you are stronger than Qingxia real person
Whoosh!
A ray of sword light passed through the air, circled around Nanzhao Mountain, and then fell down. The light converged above the Taoist Temple, revealing a figure dressed in white, as graceful as an immortal.
Snapped!
After a soft sound, the Taoist priest in white landed gently in front of the door of Daoxian Temple. An ancient bronze sword made a sword cry in the air and returned to its sheath.
Then, the Taoist priest in white brushed his snow-white hand from his waist, pulled out a white jade whisk from mid-air, held it in his hand, swung it left and right, symbolically brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, and then removed it from his body.
He grabbed a little kitten with its eyes closed and a contented expression out of the void, and placed it on his shoulder.
Snapped!
After snapping his fingers, a full-length mirror as tall as a person appeared in front of the Taoist priest in white.
Kong Qing straightened his clothes in the mirror, twisted his body left and right, and then nodded with great satisfaction.
As a Taoist, a god-like demeanor is essential!
Don’t you see why Elder Tang, who is seeking Buddhist scriptures from the West, can enter and exit the caves of various female fairies and still ensure that he is not harmed? Isn’t it just because of his handsome face?
Of course, that is Elder Tang in another world, because Elder Tang in this world is now concentrating on studying Huang-Lao's learning through Dao Zang with the support of Kong Qing.
Kong Qing is also looking forward to this kind of Elder Tang...
Will he follow the future Taoist Southern Fifth Patriarch Xue Daoguang and enter Taoism from Buddhism? Or will he be like Monk Fa Lin, who strengthened his Zen mind after studying Huang Lao?
Kong Qing didn't know, even the identification technique didn't give him an accurate answer.
After finishing arranging his appearance, Kong Qing waved his sleeves, put away the full-length mirror in front of him, and then holding a fly whisk, he walked into the gate of Daoxian Temple casually.
Just after he walked through the main hall, Tang Goubie, who had received the news, had already come out from the backyard to greet him.
"Master Qingwei, you are finally back..."
The old Taoist priest clasped his hands in his fists, with a warm smile on his face, and greeted Kong Qing cordially.
"You will only be here for two or three days, which really worries me!"
"Then I'm really sorry for making you worried, Guanzhu Tang..."
Kong Qing put his hand on the white jade whisk, raised his hand in salute, and looked apologetic.
"Pindao saw that Temple Master Tang was still unable to calculate the situation of monsters causing trouble near Changsha County, so he went back to Chang'an first to check on the unusual movement of dragon energy. Pindao also acted on the spur of the moment and did not inform Temple Master Tang in advance.
With a cry, I also look forward to Tang Guanzhu Haihan."
"oh!"
After hearing that Kong Qing was returning to Chang'an, Tang Goubie's eyes first flashed with relief, but the next moment, his expression turned into astonishment.
"Master Qingwei, do you mean to say that you returned to Chang'an within the past two days and then came back again?"
"What's weird about this..."
Kong Qing first nodded to Tang Goubie, and then asked a strange question.
"Isn't it common for us practitioners to travel to the East China Sea in the morning and stay in Cangwu in the evening? Why are you so surprised, Master Tang?"
"..."
Tang Goube blinked, not knowing how to answer this sentence.
It is a matter of course for a cultivator to travel to the East China Sea in the morning and stay in Cangwu in the evening...
Then why can't I do it?
Wait, could this be Master Qingwei lying and deceiving the old Taoist?
Thinking of this, Tang Goubie asked tentatively again.
"Then Qingwei Zhenren, the dragon's energy has changed. Is it really true that there has been a change in the court?"
"Exactly!"
Kong Qing nodded casually as he walked towards the backyard of Daoxian Temple.
"Two days ago, the Prime Minister Pei Ju was assassinated by Kong Kong Jingjing..."
"Pei Ju was assassinated..."
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Tang Goubie suddenly staggered at his feet.
Two days ago, this Master Qingwei was still with me... So, did he really sense this from the changes in the dragon's energy?
Is the realm of real people so powerful?
He swallowed and asked tentatively.
"Real person, is this true?"
"nature!"
Kong Qing nodded, with a calm expression on his face, as if nothing was bothering him, and he answered casually.
"This news will reach Changsha after some time, and then you will know, Guanzhu Tang..."
After a few words of probing and confirming that the young Master Qingwei had indeed returned to Chang'an in the past two days, Tang Goubie settled down in his heart and could not help but have feelings for the handsome Taoist priest in front of him.
A feeling of envy.
So handsome, so young, and so powerful...
Why is he alone responsible for all the good things in the world?
"Tang Guanzhu..."
After Kong Qing took a few steps forward, he saw Tang Goubie stopped in a daze, so he turned his head and called to him twice.
"It's been two days. Have you counted the evildoers and suspicious things near Changsha County?"
"It's done... it's done..."
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Tang Goubie immediately came back to his senses and took two steps to catch up.
"Sorry, because the manpower of Changsha Xuantan is not very sufficient, so it was delayed for a few days."
"No problem!"
Kong Qing nodded casually, as if he didn't care.
"Now Xuan Tan everywhere is short of people, but when the world is unified and the world is at peace, our Taishi Bureau has also begun to recruit more manpower from various Taoist sects. Pindao believes that the shortage of manpower in Xuan Tan in Changsha County will be very serious.
It will be solved soon."
"oh……"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Tang Goube was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"If that's the case, that would be great!"
The two of them chatted 'casually' like this while arriving at the backyard of Daoxian Temple. In front of a courtyard specially set aside by Tang Goubie for Kong Qing, Tang Goubie first diligently stepped forward and opened the door, and then
He made a gesture of invitation towards Kong Qing.
"Master Qingwei, please come in first. I will go and get you what you want."
"That's fine!"
Kong Qing nodded to Tang Goubie, then stepped into the yard, and then threw out several appraisal techniques as if he had accidentally waved the fly whisk in his hand.
Um!
Not bad, there is nothing superfluous in the yard!
A quarter of an hour later, Tang Goubie came back again, still holding a few pieces of paper lightly in his hand.
"Master Qingwei, please see, these are the incidents of demons harming people that have happened in our Changsha County in the past few years, as well as some cases where the deaths were bizarre and may have been caused by demons. As for the case of the missing person you want...
…”
Tang Goubie shook his head helplessly.
"After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Changsha fell into the hands of Xiao Xian of the Mingfeng Dynasty. Later, when King Zhao attacked here, the Changsha County treasury was leaked, causing many documents to be burned, so now the old Taoist can't find them The cases you want."
"oh!"
Kong Qing nodded and took the pieces of paper from Tang Goubie's hand casually.
"When something like this happens, there is nothing you can do. You can only do what you have to do..."
As he spoke, Kong Qing lowered his head and cast his gaze on the papers brought by Tang Goubie.
"The temple of goddesses by the Xiangjiang River confuses beautiful boys; Song Shizong's mother turned into a giant turtle; the daughter of the historian of Wutan Village was raped by a monster by the river and gave birth to a carp; the daughter of Shen, a villager of Baitian Village in Xiangjiang River, was charmed by a monster "The Changsha fisherman was cursed by monsters and died miserably... The father of the three white fish in Zhaotan was the Dragon King of Xiangjiang River."
Kong Qing carefully read the pieces of paper sent by Tang Goubie from top to bottom. He saw that many cases of monsters harming people were written in great detail, as well as some things about gods causing trouble, and even at the end , even the background of the three white fish that Kong Qing killed in Zhaotan was written, but there is no record of the snake demon.
"Tang Guanzhu..."
Kong Qing raised his head, smiled slightly at Tang Goubie, who had been standing respectfully beside him, and shook the pieces of paper in his hand.
"This is all the records of all the monsters and monsters in Changsha County that can't be solved by Xuantan in recent years and hurt people. Isn't there any omission?"
"good!"
Faced with Kong Qing's questioning, Tang Goubie nodded calmly.
"These are all the records, there are no omissions... Master Qingwei, why do you ask this?"
"Pindao is just feeling emotional..."
Kong Qing lowered his head again and said lightly in a very casual tone.
"Even if Master Qingxia is in charge of Chang'an, it is still common for monsters to hurt people in the past few years. After Pindao took office as the Superintendent of the Taishi Bureau, he asked his colleagues from the Department of History to help Pindao make statistics. As a result, the records for the past five years have been There are five books, and each one is so thick..."
As he said that, Kong Qing raised his hand and gestured towards Tang Goubie.
"As a result, here in Changsha County, Tang Guanzhu, your records that have not been processed in recent years are just a few pieces of paper. I can't help but sigh. It seems that when it comes to protecting one party, Master Qingxia is better than you, Guanzhu Tang. They are all inferior!"
"Oh, oh, you can't say that..."
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Tang Goubie suddenly broke out in sweat and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Master Qingwei, what are you talking about? How dare Lao Dao compare with Master Qingxia? There is actually a reason why Lao Dao has so few records here."
"oh?"
Kong Qing raised his head and looked at Tang Goubie with interest.
"What is the reason? Can Master Tang tell Pindao?"
"this……"
Tang Goubie's eyes rolled, and his hands stroking his beard were trembling.
"Actually... this... it's because... yes, yes... that's it. When Changsha County was in the hands of Xiao Xian of the Mingfeng Dynasty, the Xuan Altar of our Taoist Immortal Temple was not taken seriously..."
Having said this, Tang Goubie seemed to have straightened out his logic and his speech became more and more smooth.
"As you know, Xiao Xian, Master Qingwei, is a true believer in Buddhism. Therefore, Buddhism was extremely powerful in Changsha County at that time. If any monsters caused trouble at that time, people would go to the monks to get rid of them.
Yes, so there are not many records here in Daoxian Temple, so it is not that the old Taoist can be compared with the real Qingxia, but on the contrary, the old Taoist cannot be compared with the real Qingxia."
"I see!"
After hearing Tang Goubie's words, the corners of Kong Qing's mouth raised slightly.
"Then it seems that Pindao misunderstood Master Tang..."
