Qian Pianpian and the five others looked at each other with a hint of vigilance.
Now there are too many immortal victims throughout Kyushu, and just a few words of flaw are enough to make them wary.
Chen Tao still looked careless and scratched his head:
"What's wrong with you guys?"
Qian Pianpian then repeated to Chen Tao what the old temple master said just now.
Chen Tao laughed dumbly:
"You are too worried."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, I will just take you there."
Qian Pianpian glanced at Wang Lei and Jiang Xuechan. They understood each other and said immediately:
"You go ahead."
"Let's pack our luggage first."
When Qian Pianpian, Yu Zhi, and Cai Yuzhe left with Chen Tao, Wang Lei quickly came to the door of the room and closed the door and window.
"Xuechan, tell me...does Qian Pianpian doubt Chen Tao or the old temple master?"
Jiang Xuechan took out a brochure bag from her arms:
"For now."
"For an old temple owner, it should be a bit weirder."
"After all, this is an ancient relic from the Tang and Song Dynasties. If it is to be cleaned and processed, his consent must be obtained!"
As he spoke, Jiang Xuechan whistled.
Like a mosquito-sized bug, it silently flew out of the brocade bag and flew out through the cracks in the door and window.
Wang Lei sent a message to Kong Sang.
"There may be something wrong with Baiyun Temple."
"Come back soon."
…
On the other side, we came to the so-called Sutra Pavilion.
As the oldest Taoist temple in Beijing, it is said to be a Buddhist Scripture Pavilion, but in fact it is like a huge library.
At this time, the door is locked.
After Chen Tao took out the key and opened the door, a faint fragrance hit his nostrils.
"This is..." Qian Pianpian sniffed: "What a strong fragrance."
"Oh, I burned some sandalwood." Chen Tao said with a smile: "If you feel the smell is strong, just open the door to disperse the smell."
"By the way, why are you looking for the Taiping Jing?"
Qian Pianpian walked to the bookcase where the antiques were stored and checked them one by one:
"We don't know either."
"Anyway, it was Kongsang who asked us to find him."
"Really?" Chen Tao stretched out and leaned on a table and chair nearby: "However, Kong Sang and the others have been in Zushan for such a long time, so there won't be any problems."
"Since I can still send messages, it should be nothing." Qian Pianpian looked at the ancient book in his hand and shook his head in disappointment: "With so many ancient relics, Baiyun Temple is indeed worthy of its rich heritage."
"It seems that it will take some time to find it."
Chen Tao said:
"That's okay."
"You guys find it first."
"Baiyunguan doesn't have enough manpower, so I'm going to help first."
After saying that, Chen Tao left the Scripture Collection Pavilion.
Looking at the door that was closed again by Chen Tao, Qian Pianpian stared at it for a while, and finally stepped forward and pushed it open.
"Qian Pianpian, are you doubting Chen Tao?" Yu Ting asked.
Qian Pianpian subconsciously lit a cigarette:
"call……"
"It's indeed a bit strange."
"Although he has an unconventional character, but...why does it feel a little disharmonious?"
Cai Yuzhe, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said:
"I just made a secret observation."
"He has been trying to know about Kongsang's situation over at Zushan."
Yu Ting asked:
"But...Kong Sang was the closest to Chen Tao and Liu Zhengye before he got close to the Ten Divisions of the Yin."
"It makes sense that he would be worried about Kongsang's situation in Zushan."
Cai Yuzhe shook his head:
"No."
"If you don't have any secrets in your heart and you are just asking about your friend's safety, why should you be so secretive?"
"Wouldn't it be nice to ask openly?"
Qian Pianpian blew out a smoke ring:
"But... there seems to be something wrong with Master Baiyun."
"I asked Xuechan and Wang Lei to stay so that they could try the three major evil arts of Yunnan."
"Okay, let's continue looking."
"No matter what, we must find the Taiping Jing."
…
However, the three of them searched for more than an hour, but to no avail.
"No, I'm feeling dizzy." Yu Cang said helplessly: "Many of the characters in these ancient books are different from what they are today."
"Is Kong Sang really sure that the Taiping Sutra is in Baiyun Temple?"
Cai Yuzhe looked at Qian Pianpian:
"Otherwise, send a message to Kong Sang and ask how long it will take for him to arrive."
"Or, ask him if he has a better way to select."
"None of us are majoring in religion or history. It is really difficult to find antiquities from the late Eastern Han Dynasty."
Qian Pianpian nodded, and just took out his mobile phone and dialed Kong Sang's number:
"Hello? Kongsang..."
"Bang!"
There was a sudden loud rumbling sound in the Sutra Pavilion.
In an instant, the ceiling of the Sutra Pavilion was shattered!
A figure fell heavily!
"What's going on!"
"Quick! Someone fell down!"
When Cai Yuzhe and Yu Wei ran closer, they saw the master of Baiyun Temple covered in blood, lying on the broken tiles, staring, and no longer breathing!
"Hello? Qian Pianpian!"
"What's wrong?"
"What happened over there?!"
Qian Pianpian walked to the place where the incident occurred with an ugly face, and finally said:
"Empty Sang."
"This is not good!"
"Master Baiyun Temple...is dead!"
…
In the car, Kong Sang's face changed drastically when he heard Qian Pianpian's news.
"Qian Pianpian, why did the temple owner die? What on earth was that..."
Before he finished speaking, there seemed to be footsteps and quarrels coming from the other end of the phone.
Then, the call was hung up.
"What happened?" Hu Wenjun asked.
Kong Sang nodded solemnly:
"Ding Wei, please stop the car!"
The five people quickly walked to the roadside.
"Pianpian said, the master of Baiyun Temple is dead!"
"Sister Hu, use Qi Men Dun Jia, we must go to Baiyun Temple immediately!"
Hu Wenjun didn't waste any time and immediately waved the nine-story palace bell staff.
In an instant, the world was spinning, and everyone had arrived in front of Baiyun Temple.
It had only been a few minutes since Qian Pianpian called.
But at this time, Baiyun Temple was completely in chaos.
Sudden:
"Boom!"
Black flames soared into the sky!
"Huh? That's Qian Pianpian's soul-burning black fire!"
"Something happened!"
The five people immediately rushed into Baiyun Temple.
…
"Zou Yin Shibu, you are so brave, you actually killed the master of the temple!" The sixty-year-old Taoist priest who first received Qian Pianpian and others had an angry look on his face.
Qian Pianpian said patiently:
"I've already explained."
"It wasn't us!"
"Besides, there's a hole in the roof, can't you see it?"
"If we were the ones to do it, why bother with this?"
Chen Tao also stood between the two parties and explained anxiously:
"This is all a misunderstanding!"
"Senior, some of them are also working in the Bureau of Occult Investigation. They have no enmity with the master of the show. Why are they so murderous?"
"Then please explain to the other party what this is!" The Taoist Master twitched his whisk, and an insect the size of a fingernail was thrown to the ground!
It's a Gu insect!
Qian Pianpian, Cai Yuzhe, and Yu Pan immediately looked at Jiang Xuechan.
Jiang Xuechan was also stunned.
She quickly stepped forward, took the insect's body in her hands and looked at it carefully, her face turned completely ugly.
Wang Lei felt a thump in his heart:
"Xuechan, this is..."
Jiang Xuechan took a deep breath: "It is indeed a Gu insect."
"And...it's my best Gu insect!"
"Heart Gu!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the other four people changed.
"Look, I have admitted it!" The Taoist priest was furious, and a strong wind swirled around the Taoist priest, like a sharp blade, cutting cracks on the ground.
"The lineage of witch and Gu masters behaves like this, could it be that they want to declare war on our Taoism!"
Jiang Xuechan immediately said:
"This Gu is indeed a heart-piercing Gu."
"I am indeed very good at this method!"
"But I didn't do it!"
"What's more, there are no traces of the Heart-Diamond Gu on Master Baiyun's body!"
The Taoist priest sneered:
"Maybe if you release the poisonous insects, you will harm other people?"
"It would be strange for you to suddenly appear in Baiyun Temple at such a chaotic time!"
"Everyone, take them down!"
In an instant, the Taoist priests around him took out their magic weapons.
Just when the situation is about to break out:
"etc!"
Under the scolding, Kong Sang and others ran over quickly.
"Kong Sang, you are finally here." Qian Pianpian breathed a sigh of relief.
The old Taoist priest ducked and stopped in front of Kong Sang and others:
"We at Baiyun Temple are interrogating the murderer who killed the old temple master."
"You guys should stop interfering!"
Kong Sang shook his head:
"They can't be murderers!"
"There was no motive in the first place."
"Secondly, Master Baiyun Temple is also an old man. With his skills, will he be killed without the slightest resistance?"
"If this is the case, it is only possible without any precautions."
"Three times, this is the first time for people from the ten branches of Yin to come to Baiyun Temple."
"These are troubled times again. The senior Guanzhu, in front of my friends, shouldn't be so careless as to open the empty door, so that I and other juniors will kill him with one blow!"
"Also, if this is really our plan, we want to kill the old patron."
"Why do you want the witch and Gu Master to take action?"
"The method of poisonous insects is the most iconic method."
"If we want to prevent ourselves from being exposed, we will use more subtle methods no matter what, instead of carelessly using Jiang Xuechan's special skills!"
The Taoist priest seemed to believe it.
"In that case..."
"Then please tell the watchman, if the murderer is not them, who is it?!"
"The whole day today, only they entered Baiyun Temple, no outsiders!"
Kong Sang said in a deep voice:
"About that, not necessarily!"
"Baiyun Temple is not small, and you have been busy coming in and out today. If there are experts who want to fish in troubled waters, it will not be difficult to come in."
"Baiyunguan also has surveillance. Use the surveillance to check first, and ask people from Baiyunguan to check around to see if there are any special footprints."
"Also, I met a master today, the Countess of the Ghost Stories Association."
"The other party can obtain part of the power of the person being sucked in for a short period of time by sucking blood, and then transform it."
"There may not be any means of counterfeiting!"
After seeing Kong Sang speak out one by one with clear logic.
The anger among everyone has also subsided slightly.
When Chen Tao saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I think so." Kong Sang also took a step back: "Let's stay at Baiyun Temple first."
"In the meantime, we will cooperate with the investigation."
"Senior also asked people from the Occult Investigation Bureau to come over and assist."
"We can figure out the truth in the shortest time, can't we?"
