The reason why Bai Mengjin suggested coming to Yuelao Temple was because she remembered what happened back then.
There was a girl in the family who was seeking marriage and went to Yuelao Temple to worship her. Unexpectedly, she fell ill soon after and later, she seemed to have heard that the government had killed an evil god.
At that time, Bai Mengjin was preoccupied with the matter of accepting disciples in Danxia Palace and did not pay attention. This time she accidentally knew that there were more monsters in Qingyun City, wouldn't she be connected?
Madam Liu went to Yuelao Temple to fulfill her vows. Huo Chongxiao winked at the two of them, and the three of them squeezed into the crowd and followed her.
The old temple this month is very simple, with only one main hall. The statue of the god is very new. There is an old man with a white beard, accompanied by boys and girls holding up red threads.
Huo Chongxiao shook his head gently and found nothing unusual.
The three of them had a tacit understanding, and after Lady Liu finished her wish, they followed her back quietly.
Yue Yunqiao asked in a low voice: "Brother, why are there so many monsters in Qingyun City? Is there something wrong?"
Huo Chongxiao had already realized that something was wrong. He took out the demon-suppressing bottle and used the demonic energy inside to burn the talisman. Sure enough, Lady Liu had a sense. His face looked grim: "It has the same origin as the monster last night.
"
Yue Yunqiao was shocked: "So we didn't resolve what happened last night at all?"
Huo Chongxiao nodded. He thought it was just a small task, but he didn't expect that he was fooled. This monster is not simple.
His first reaction was to ask Bai Chongan for help. After all, he was a fellow disciple and had the responsibility to help each other.
However, thinking about last night, he hesitated again. For some reason, this senior brother gave him a strange feeling. There was a monster in Qingyun City, and the most affected one should be the Bai family, but he didn't care at all.
Is it better to be more cautious? Huo Chongxiao asked himself. But thinking that Bai Mengjin was busy with them, but he didn't trust the Bai family, he felt a little guilty.
Before he could speak, Bai Mengjin said first: "Mr. Huo, do you feel that something is wrong with this matter?"
Huo Chongxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "How to say it?"
Bai Mengjin said: "Although there are similarities between evil gods and monsters, they are actually two different things. Monsters generally hunt actively and want to eat delicious food when they see it. But evil gods need the other party to make offerings to themselves. To put it simply, it is a contract.
For example, Lady Liu, you must meet her requirement to win money before you can ask her for offerings."
Yue Yunqiao was confused when she heard this: "Then how come these two things have the same origin?"
"Yes, they are obviously different things, how come they have the same origin?" she asked.
Huo Chongxiao said softly: "Because there is someone behind you."
Yue Yunqiao was startled: "What do you mean? Someone instigated it?"
Huo Chongxiao nodded: "It seems that the monsters in Qingyun City are not simple. Someone deliberately raised them."
Yue Yunqiao couldn't help but get angry: "How unreasonable! If we hadn't arrived in time last night, that mortal man in Zhuangzi would have been demonized. And this evil god, once the belief spreads, how many people will become sacrifices? Over time, the entire Qingyun City
They’re all going to die.”
"This matter is no longer something we can solve." Huo Chongxiao was very self-aware, "We must contact the patrol elders as soon as possible."
According to the rules of Danxia Palace, elders are arranged to patrol various places in turn, specifically responsible for the safety of disciples who go out.
Yue Yunqiao asked: "Do you want to tell Senior Brother Bai?"
"Let's not talk about it for now." Huo Chongxiao glanced at Bai Mengjin, "Senior Brother Bai is the highest-level monk in Qingyun City. If this person makes trouble in Qingyun City, he will definitely be watched and be careful to alert others."
Bai Mengjin nodded in agreement: "Although my uncle never leaves home, all the forces in Qingyun City, big and small, will come to pay homage to the mountain."
Seeing that she didn't object, Huo Chongxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them returned to Yuelao Temple and investigated based on the deeds spread among the people.
The first one is Lady Liu. They have confirmed that she is related to the monster last night.
The second one is Zeng Laosan. His house also has a dark atmosphere.
Then the third, the fourth...
Huo Chongxiao took out the topographic map of Qingyun City and marked them one by one, eventually forming a huge network.
"There are actually so many." Yue Yunqiao was surprised.
Huo Chongxiao's face looked ugly. Qingyun City had become a sieve, and he didn't believe it at all if Senior Brother Bai didn't notice anything.
What about Miss Bai? Judging from how she is treated at home, she should not know these things, and she also saved her junior sister before. Should she trust her?
Huo Chongxiao hesitated.
In the end, he chose a compromise plan: "Let's go back first, don't disturb others for the time being, and wait until the elders of the sect arrive to deal with it."
He took his junior sister with him and couldn't take risks.
Bai Mengjin was very pleased. Although Huo Chongxiao was a bit young, he was still reliable in his work.
The three of them put aside the matter for the time being and went around for a while until they returned to Bai's house at sunset.
Bai Mengxing had just finished school and was eating ice cream in the hall. When he saw Bai Mengjin, he immediately shouted: "Damn girl, you actually skipped school today. I will tell my father that I won't beat you to death!"
Bai Mengjin immediately hid behind Yue Yunqiao and whispered: "I...I asked for leave."
Yue Yunqiao stood up for her: "Junior Sister Mengjin took us out to play. This is Brother Bai's request. If you have any opinions, ask your uncle."
Although Bai Mengxing was a free-spirited man, he did not dare to go against the distinguished guests of Danxia Palace, not to mention that there was an uncle above him.
He glared at Bai Mengjin fiercely, feeling dissatisfied in every possible way. Why wasn't he the one playing with him? He was obviously the eldest son in the family!
Bai Mengjin let out a sigh and asked, "Why is the eldest brother's left hand wrapped with a strip of cloth? Is it injured?"
It was okay if she didn't say it, but when she did, Bai Mengxing became so angry that his face turned red.
He originally thought well and used Bai Mengjin's magic talisman to hand in his homework, but who knew that it was snatched away yesterday. He hurriedly hurriedly took his time, but the things he made were still not good. When he finally handed it in, he was scolded by the master without any surprise.
Wow, his hands were swollen.
"It's not you yet!" He said vaguely, "Wait for me!"
Yue Yunqiao frowned, the tutoring of the Bai family was really worrying. The senior brother had come back to take charge of the family, so he didn't care about it. He had no hope of becoming an immortal, so he had to train his descendants well!
Walking all the way to the gate of Qinghe Courtyard, she comforted Bai Mengjin: "When the traveling elders come, my senior brother and I will recommend you to join the sect. With your foundation, it will not be difficult to pass the examination, and no one will dare to bully you in the future."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Yue." Bai Mengjin said sincerely. Over the years, there are not many people who have been kind to her, and Yue Yunqiao is definitely one of them, whether she is now or she was before.
…
A small building with dead leaves.
"They are back." Guan Mowen reported.
Bai Chongan was still sitting in front of the window, playing chess with himself slowly: "Is nothing wrong?"
Guan Mowen didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Bai Chongan stopped: "What, is there a problem?"
Guan Mowen replied: "They have been to Yuelao Temple."
Bai Chongan frowned.
"It doesn't mean anything if you've been there." Guan Mowen said proactively, "After all, Yuelao Temple is quite famous, and many people will go there."
Bai Chongan nodded and placed the chess pieces.
But soon, his expression froze.
"What's the matter, Dong Weng?"
Bai Chongan opened his hand, and a seemingly invisible light flashed across it.
"The communication talisman... seems to have been discovered."
