The suggestion given by Kong Sang is relatively pertinent.
Seeing this, everyone in the ten tribes of Zouyin breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the old Taoist priest suddenly said:
"no!"
In an instant, a fierce aura flashed past.
No one seemed to notice.
Only...Kong Sang.
How could a person who has been cultivating Taoism for decades and is considered a highly advanced person have such evil aura in his body?
But the old Taoist priest said slowly:
"We can agree to the rest of the conditions."
"Whether we let the Oddity Investigation Bureau investigate, or wait for us to verify it through surveillance, it doesn't matter."
"However, until everything comes to light, the witch and Gu master must be detained by us alone!"
Jiang Xuechan also knew that it was really difficult to explain the Heart-Diamond Gu.
Immediately step forward.
"Wait a minute." Kong Sang said, "I don't agree!"
The old Taoist priest's anger was rekindled:
"how!"
"We at Baiyun Temple have made concessions many times. Are you trying to get in trouble with us?"
Kong Sang shook his head:
"We will not follow anything that is unreasonable!"
"Not to mention that doing so will lead to enmity between Taoism and witchcraft and corpse exorcists in Yunnan, Guizhou and other places."
"And... we will naturally take good care of our people."
"But it's not okay to ask the witch and Gu master to go with you alone."
The old Taoist priest sneered: "I'm afraid...it's not up to you!"
In an instant, the fly whisk whipped violently, like a soft whip, and it directly cracked the masonry on the ground!
The whisk was like a dragon, and it was directly wrapped around Jiang Xuechan's throat.
This blow actually went towards the vital point!
"presumptuous!"
In an instant, Kong Sang also felt a burst of unknown anger burning crazily in his body.
In the yellow spring water, Kong Sang appeared in front of Jiang Xuechan.
The gong is swung for a moment, and the power of the fly whisk is blocked.
"Bang!"
Kong Sang "miso miso miso" took a few steps back!
But saw:
"clang!"
The soul-calming sound suddenly resounded like thunder.
The old Taoist priest's expression changed and he immediately stepped back.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense again, Chen Tao said quickly:
"Don't bother me!"
"Kong Sang, just surrender!"
"Baiyun Temple is the number one Taoist temple in Beijing, and it is almost the leader of Taoism in the northern region!"
Jiang Xuechan also said:
"Kong Sang, it's okay."
"Anyway, you are all at Baiyun Temple, I..."
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Kong Sang.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering why Kong Sang was suddenly so strong.
As everyone knows, after Kongsang passed through the Fourth Palace of Eternal Life, there was a subtle change in his temperament.
But only Kongsang himself felt this change.
Secondly, Kong Sang believed that the evil spirit he felt in the old Taoist priest was not a coincidence.
At this time, Jiuzhou is undergoing a sudden change. If the evil spirit has affected the Taoist priest in front of him, but no one knows about it, it would be too dangerous for Jiang Xuechan to fall into the hands of the other party!
"No matter what, this is my bottom line." Kong Sang said coldly: "If you want to touch the people who are in the Yin Shibu, you are the enemy of the Yinshibu!"
"We can bear all the consequences!"
"But... can Baiyun Temple bear the consequences of being in conflict with the ten tribes of Yin?"
The old Taoist priest's face was as gloomy as ink. Finally, he snorted and left.
Chen Tao smiled bitterly and stepped forward:
"Kong Sang, you should investigate first."
"I'll go help them clean up and come back to you later."
…
After a while, everyone returned to the room they had prepared earlier.
After some information exchange:
"Kong Sang, why just now..."
Kong Sang raised his hand to signal everyone to stop talking. Then, he looked at Zhao Xiaocheng.
Xiao Cheng understood it, and the Gray Immortal appeared on his shoulder, covering the entire room with the magic of the Immortal Family.
"alright."
"This can at least ensure that what we want to say will not be known to others."
Kong Sang sat aside:
"The reason why I don't agree with the plan just now is very simple."
"I suspect that the person who killed the old temple master was this old Taoist priest!"
"He has an evil spirit in him!"
Immediately, Kongsang informed everyone of the perceived situation.
Zhao Yuecheng nodded:
"So, when you were knocked back by him with a whisk just now, you took the opportunity to use the Soul-Calming Sound?"
"That's right." Kong Sang closed his eyes slightly: "The soul-soothing sound restrains the evil spirits in the world."
"If he is just an ordinary monk, the Soul-Calming Sound will not cause any harm to him."
"But...he subconsciously avoided it!"
"Let's make a hypothesis."
"Suppose... after the countess retreated from Zushan, she came to Baiyun Temple and obtained some of Jiang Xuechan's blood without your knowledge."
"Then, it is not difficult for her to use Bloody Mary's power to copy the Heart Gu."
Jiang Xuechan looked at the structure of the Heart Gu:
"But having said that..."
"This Cruciatus Gu is indeed different from the one I cultivated in some details."
"It's just...if you don't look carefully, you can't detect it."
Kong Sang said again:
"Also, since the Countess is here, who knows if other members of the Ghost Stories Association have arrived?"
"What if this old Taoist priest has been replaced by someone from the Ghost Story Association without anyone noticing?"
"The old temple master and he are fellow disciples, so they naturally trust him very much. It is not impossible for him to be killed by someone pretending to be an old Taoist priest when he is caught off guard."
"Conversely, according to what you said, the old viewer may also have problems."
"After all, you also said that the views between the old temple master and Chen Tao are not consistent."
"What if...the old temple master died long ago?"
"What you saw is fake!"
"It's just that you are looking for the "Taiping Jing" as a reason to put the blame on you!"
Zhao Yuecheng suddenly said:
"Don't forget that there is another possibility, which is even more likely."
"Chen Tao!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at Kong Sang.
Kong Sang also fell silent.
Naturally, he didn't want to think about this possibility.
After all, if Chen Tao did all this.
Then the Chen Tao in front of me must not be the real Chen Tao.
The real Chen Tao...
Kong Sang didn’t dare to think about it!
"Okay." Hu Wenjun changed the topic: "Since we want to collect evidence."
"Well, Gong Xin and I are mainly investigating the Feng Shui layout in Baiyun Temple and whether there is any possibility of useful poisons."
Zhao Xiaocheng said:
"I will ask the Immortal Family for help in checking for detailed flaws such as footprints."
"If there is a surveillance video... let me go." Qian Pianpian said: "After all, I am the consultant of the Weird Investigation Bureau. Logically speaking, Baiyunguan should cooperate with me."
"That's fine." Kong Sang instructed: "In that case, Dachengzi and I will try to summon the spirit of the old temple master."
"Maybe we can also get some clues."
"Cai Yuzhe, Yu Cang, you two, together with Wang Lei, protect Xuechan."
"Be careful with people walking nearby!"
Saying that, Kong Sang stood up and suddenly sniffed:
"Um?"
"Qian Pianpian, since when did you get into the habit of burning incense?"
"Don't you...generally smell like tobacco?"
Qian Pianpian shook her head and told Chen Tao about using sandalwood to bathe in the Sutra Pavilion.
"oh?"
Kong Sang's eyes darkened.
Immediately, everyone left their residences and went their separate ways.
On the way to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Zhao Yuecheng asked:
"When we talked about sandalwood just now, you seemed... to have something to say, but in the end you didn't say anything."
Kong Sang suddenly stopped.
At this time, his face looked a little gloomy:
"Dachengzi."
"Taoism...does not use sandalwood!"
Zhao Yuecheng was stunned:
"What does this mean?"
Kong Sang took a deep breath: "The smell of sandalwood has the effect of confusing the mind."
"And, this is a foreign fragrance."
"The earliest time, it originated from the Tang Dynasty."
"Although the specific reasons are somewhat complicated, from that time onwards, Taoism generally did not use sandalwood as a sacrificial object."
"Chen Tao is a disciple of Maoshan. He has been practicing with senior Maoshan for many years. It is impossible for him not to know."
Zhao Yuecheng looked at Kong Sang's slightly wry smile.
"so……"
Kong Sang shook his head:
"It doesn't matter."
"This is just a suspicion and cannot prove anything."
"Maybe...it's just because Chen Tao is so careless that he doesn't pay attention to these rules."
With that said, Kong Sang walked straight forward.
Zhao Yuecheng looked at Kong Sang's back and immediately fell silent, no longer speaking.
What can't be proved?
Or... don't you want to anticipate the worst case scenario?
…
Soon, the two came to the Sutra-Tiding Pavilion.
The strong scent of sandalwood, even if something like this happened, did not completely dissipate.
"This smell... is so rich..." Zhao Yuecheng couldn't help but said: "It's just like..."
"Well, it's like covering something up." Kong Sang walked to the place where the incident occurred.
The body of the master of Baiyun Temple has naturally been carried away.
As for the mystery behind the corpse, it is naturally Gong Xin's fault.
Kong Sang took out ingots, paper money and other items from Hutian's bracelet.
"Summon the soul?"
The wolf-tooth sword behind Zhao Yuecheng flashed with light, and immediately turned into a wolf spirit tribute, landing at Zhao Yuecheng's feet.
I saw Kong Sang sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Just tap lightly with your fingertips.
Inside the copper basin, paper money burned.
Kong Sang sounded the gong for the watch.
The entire Sutra Pavilion suddenly became a bit colder.
"Summon!"
"Summon!"
"Summon!"
In an instant, the light of the white candle in front of my eyes was extinguished.
In the clear blue smoke, a soul covered in blood appeared in front of the two of them.
"Well……"
"Well……"
The soul of Baiyun Temple Master had hollow eyes, tears of blood and tears in his mouth, but he could not explain clearly.
He just stretched out his withered hand, seeming very painful and wronged.
"really."
"Master Baiyun Temple must have been dead for a long time!"
"As a result, even if there are people with cultivation skills, their souls have begun to dissipate, so that their sanity no longer exists and communication is no longer possible!"
Kong Sang’s face was gloomy:
"Dachengzi, protect me, I will enter the consciousness of Baiyun Temple to find out what's going on!"
"During this period, no matter who it is...even members of the Ten Yin Departments, please don't let them get close to me!"
Zhao Yuecheng frowned: "Are you worried..."
Kong Sang nodded:
"If you can kill the leader of Baiyun Temple, the opponent will most likely be the Weird Tales Association!"
"What if the other party takes advantage of our scattered manpower to make a time difference and pretend to be one of them, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"By the way, send another message to the group and give instructions to everyone!"
"At six o'clock in the evening, the person who meets you in the room... is me!"
