After coming down from the star observation platform, Jiang Wenfeng ordered the guards to invite the elders from Xuandu Temple to come over.
Jiang Wenfeng was following the emperor's orders, and the emperor's face must still be given.
The two sides in the confrontation recommended several respected elders to come and listen to what he had to say.
Could it be that he was putting the responsibility for the fire at the Merit Tower last night on himself? If so, he would have to defend himself in front of the emperor.
However, Jiang Wenfeng opened his mouth and said: "Several elders, at this point, please tell the truth. Is the dispute between the Imperial Master and Yuyang just over the relic of the Imperial Master Xu Xing?"
The elders exchanged several glances, and one of them, Master Yi, replied on their behalf: "Master Jiang, we have already said before that Yuyang goes out at night. Why did he and Xuanfei have a dispute? We did not
Haven't seen it in person."
Jiang Wenfeng stared at him for a while and then said: "Master Yi, why don't you think about it carefully before speaking? It's not the first day the two of them had a dispute. As the president who manages the affairs of the college, you don't know anything about it, right?"
His attitude seemed to know the inside story, and several elders were heartbroken when they heard it.
Another elder, Lai, was originally from the Yuyang side. Because Xuanfei excluded dissidents, he was recently found guilty and dismissed from the post of head of the courtyard. Seeing that Yuyang was dead, he wanted to stand up, unless he found a new backer.
When it comes to having a backer, who can be better than the emperor himself? Everyone knows that Mr. Chiang is deeply trusted by the Holy Father. If he can help him achieve great achievements...
He opened his mouth and said, "Master Jiang, Pindao has indeed heard some rumors."
"Oh?" Jiang Wenfeng looked at him with a smile, "Please ask Elder Lai for advice."
Elder Lai made up his mind and said: "Yuyang did reveal before that the former temple master had a relic. He didn't have time to take it away, and it might have fallen into Xuan Fei's hands. According to him, this relic is related to a person who only has the temple.
Whoever can obtain the great secret that the Lord can know may reach the sky in one step and become the most powerful magician..."
"Junior Brother Lai!"
"Senior Brother Lai!"
At this point, several other elders quickly spoke up and wanted to stop.
However, Elder Lai just glanced at them and continued: "Yuyang died in the Gongde Pagoda. Pindao suspected at that time that he might be fighting for this thing, but he didn't see it with his own eyes, so it's hard to say anything."
He glanced at the angry elders for a few times and thought to himself, Humph! It's impossible to get this thing by yourself anyway, so what's the matter? This Lord Jiang is not a member of Xuanmen, so he can't be greedy.
Jiang Wenfeng nodded slowly: "So, what I just verified is true."
The elders were stunned for a moment, and Master Yi quickly asked: "Sir Jiang, what did you verify?"
Jiang Wenfeng said: "After investigation, we determined that a third person was present when the Imperial Master and Yuyang took action."
Seeing the slightly changed expressions of the elders, he continued slowly: "This person has most likely taken away the most critical evidence, which is what they are fighting for."
Hearing this, Yi Zhangyuan quickly asked: "Seriously?"
Jiang Wenfeng nodded: "I am moved by emotion and enlightened by reason. The Imperial Master finally relented and said three words."
"What?"
"Star Observatory."
Master Yi became nervous: "My lord, we just went to the observatory. What did we find?"
"Don't worry." Jiang Wenfeng reassured, "There are good things and bad things."
He said: "The bad thing is that we discovered that the other party also discovered the observatory and set it on fire last night to attract your attention. The good thing is that they didn't have time to take away the things."
Yi Zhangyuan was half happy and half worried: "What do you mean you haven't taken away the thing yet? Sir, are you saying that the thing is still in our Xuandu Temple?"
"Yes." Jiang Wenfeng smiled, "What he took away should be the key. The real treasure is still hidden in Xuandu Temple. To be precise, it is the star observatory. Since the other party has found out last night, I am afraid it will be there soon.
Turn around and take this thing with you."
He cupped his hands and said: "If these immortal elders can capture this person, the case will be solved. The officers under my command are far inferior to you in terms of skill, so please help me."
Yi Zhangyuan fully agreed: "Master Jiang is too polite, this is our responsibility. What this person wants to take away is what I have in Xuandu, so of course we can't just sit back and watch."
Elder Lai also stated: "Don't worry, we will definitely help you capture this person."
The other elders also agreed with their mouths and made their own calculations in their hearts.
Jiang Wenfeng added: "This case is quite strange. The other party seems to know Xuandu Temple very well, and may have other channels for information. I also ask the immortal elders not to reveal the inside story for the time being and to set up an ambush secretly. What do you think?"
None of the elders had any objections.
Jiang Wenfeng discussed with them how to set up an ambush.
...
When several elders returned, they used the fire at the Merit Tower as an excuse to form a patrol team.
In addition, manpower was allocated to guard several important places in Xuandu Temple, such as the Sutra Pavilion and the Star Observation Deck.
For a time, the atmosphere in Xuandu Temple was tense and solemn.
Mingwei was also at the star observatory. While calculating the direction, she placed small flags with formation diagrams on each side around the star observatory.
"Are you setting up a formation?" After getting along for a long time, Yang Shu gradually became familiar with the formation.
"Hmm." Mingwei finished doing this and admired it, "This formation is used to restrain evil spirits. If the people in Tsing Yi can discover it, they will understand that we already know that the soul-suppressing tablet is here."
"Then will he still jump into the pit?"
"Yes." Mingwei said with certainty, "There will only be one fortune teller in the world. If he thinks he is, he must defeat me. So, even if he knows this is a trap, he will come. Only by my hand
Only by taking away the soul-suppressing card can he prove that he is qualified to become a real fortune teller."
Mingwei thought about it many times when he was attacked by him in Changlechi that day.
In fact, the man in Tsing Yi had no murderous intention towards her.
Her physical strength has never reached the peak because her body is too weak. If he really wants to kill someone, he can kill her directly when he traps her with mystical magic.
But all the methods he used at that time were more like tests. Testing how strong her mystical skills were and how they compared to his.
Therefore, Mingwei can be sure that he has such an idea in his heart.
Really defeat her with mystical skills and become a well-deserved fortune teller.
She set up this formation not only to guard against the evil spirit in the soul-suppressing card, but also to raise a battle flag against him.
I'm right here. I know you want the soul-killing card. Are you coming?
For the man in Tsing Yi, this is the best opportunity. He can defeat her and take away the command talisman, both of which are of great significance.
This is a battle between fortune tellers, and he has to come.
...
Time passes.
From morning to night, it’s another day.
As night fell, Xuandu watched a few figures appear on a remote hilltop.
If Ming Wei and others were here, they would definitely recognize two of them.
Xu Rishu, and Taoist Aunt Qinglin who once intercepted and killed them on the way back to Beijing.
"Be prepared!" Void Sun Rat murmured, "Do we really want to take such a big risk?"
Qinglin flicked his fly whisk and said coldly: "How dare you disobey Star Officer's order?" (To be continued)
