Chapter 328 Chu Yuqi is missing
After a while, the housekeeper came in with a serious face and whispered something in Bai Tingtao's ear.
"What? Someone is missing?" He was immediately shocked.
Ming Zhuo: "Who is missing? Could it be Chu Yuqi?"
Bai Tingtao: "..."
Ming Zhuo walked forward and looked at Bai Tingtao, "You were injured before you came, and it looks like you were attacked by backlash. Of course, you won't cast a spell on others, so it can only be the backlash of breaking the spell. I guess Chu Yuqi was hit by a bad spell and was treated and hidden by the Bai family, right?"
Bai Tingtao: "..."
Does he have no face? He was so easily seen through?
Bai Tingtao flicked his sleeves and said, "Nothing! Aren't you looking for Chu Yuqi? Then go find her quickly!"
He was stubborn and refused to admit it.
Bai Lingzhi stood outside the yard, looking at Mingzhuo from a distance, obviously having something to say.
Mingzhuo walked over and followed her to a secluded courtyard, "Chu Chu disappeared here."
Bai Lingzhi had searched the courtyard before and didn't get any useful clues.
Mingzhuo glanced at the courtyard environment here. The courtyard was deep and the grass was lush. It didn't look obvious from the outside and was easily overlooked, but the furnishings inside were the best.
It can be seen that some thought was put into making the residents feel comfortable.
Ming Zhuo: "But judging from the setting here, Chu Yuqi walked out on her own initiative, not being abducted by anyone."
This is exactly what Bai Lingzhi is puzzled about, "But the problem is, the curse on Chu Chu has been lifted, why did she leave on her own?"
Chu Yuqi came to the vicinity of the Bai family three days ago. At that time, her condition was obviously wrong, as if someone was controlling her mind.
No one knew how she disappeared from Yunwu City and appeared in Yuru City. At that time, she struggled to ask passers-by for help and wanted to find Bai Lao.
After being rescued and returned to the Bai family, Chu Yuqi had a brief sobriety.
She said that she was controlled by someone, and someone knew that she was a prophet and wanted to catch her and use her.
"She said she was a prophet?" Li Wenhe couldn't help asking.
Bai Lingzhi nodded: "Yes, she can predict many things that haven't happened yet, which is really amazing."
Mingzhuo: "…………"
My silence was deafening.
Bai Lingzhi was a little puzzled. Is there something wrong? "Her ability is actually quite outstanding, although her cultivation is not as powerful as yours, Teacher Ruan."
She knew that Chu Yuqi and Mingzhuo had some conflicts, and they had an unpleasant incident at the Xuanmen Academic Exchange Conference last year.
At that time, Chu Yuqi complained to Bai Tingtao, and she also believed that Mingzhuo had a big problem because she listened to one side.
If it weren't for what happened today, she might have continued to be wary of Mingzhuo.
But now she believes Wu Jiao's judgment. Mingzhuo is a natural talent, rarely seen in a thousand years, and cannot be judged by common sense.
They had misunderstood Mingzhuo before, thinking that something must be wrong when things were out of the ordinary, but in fact they had not reached that level.
Xiang Yuhan sighed: "It turns out that Chu Yuqi was controlled just like me. Then we completely misunderstood her."
Bai Lingzhi: "At that time, the enemy was in the dark and we were in the light, so we had no choice but to hide Chuchu, protect her while trying to remove the curse."
Today is the key node of removing the curse. She thought Mingzhuo and the others wanted to sabotage it, so she was extra cautious.
Ming Zhuo: "I have a question. Since Bai Tingchao intends to seize a body and change it, whose body did he originally intend to change it to?"
He Wangyao was a little horrified, "He didn't want to change Chu Yuqi's body, did he?"
Bai Lingzhi's face changed slightly: "He clearly knew that Chu Chu was... How could he do such a thing!"
Li Wenhe glanced at her calmly. What is Chu Yuqi? This sentence is very meaningful.
Ming Zhuo thought for a while and turned out a piece of paper. "You should know the man in the picture, right?"
This middle-aged man appeared in the Bai family again and again, luring Li Wenhe and them into the trap step by step. It is very likely that he is the problem of Chu Yuqi's disappearance.
Bai Lingzhi frowned: "This is an old friend of my family. He is just a lay Buddhist, not a Taoist, so there shouldn't be any problem."
After saying this, she was stunned for a moment. Bai Tingchao was also too poorly qualified to practice, but didn't he still go down the evil path?
"I'll go ask my dad." Bai Lingzhi said quickly.
She realized that she only knew that the other person was called Tang Jin, and knew very little about his origins.
It seemed that since more than ten years ago, this person would occasionally come to the Bai family, sometimes to see Bai Tingtao, and sometimes just to see the Taoist temple built by the Bai family.
It was like a lay Buddhist who was very busy in daily life, but devoted to Taoism.
After all, the Bai family is a Taoist family. They have been rooted in the city for many years and have helped many people exorcise evil spirits and kill ghosts. There are many such lay Buddhists. Tang Jin is not the most active or the most pious, so he is not so conspicuous.
But under such strict security today, the other party can still come and go freely in the Bai family's old house, which can explain the problem.
Bai Lingzhi hurriedly went to find Bai Tingtao to inquire about the situation, but after a while, Bai Tingtao's angry voice came from the house.
"You said Tang Jin has a problem? Nonsense!"
Old Bai was very angry, "I let him in, if you don't believe me, go ask the security guards outside! I said he has no problem, and he has no problem!"
After a while, Bai Lingzhi walked out with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Sorry, too many things happened at home today, it's really inconvenient to entertain you all, how about I let Xiaoxiang take you to a hotel for a meal as a gift and apology? The blame will be on me."
This is to drive the guests away.
Mingzhuo didn't plan to stay and accepted this arrangement, "Okay, let's do it this way."
Bai Lingzhi was relieved. She always thought Mingzhuo was unruly. After all, he was a genius. The greater his ability, the greater his temper. She didn't expect Mingzhuo to be so easy to talk to.
So the look in her eyes when she looked at Mingzhuo became softer, "I had a deep misunderstanding of you before, but today, when I see you, I feel that we have a good rapport."
After the group got on the car, Bai Lingzhi stood there and watched them go.
Xiang Yuhan smiled and said to Mingzhuo, "Sister Zhi has always had a hot temper. This is the first time I've heard her say that someone is pleasing to her. It shows that she really likes you."
After a pause, he sighed, "It's a pity that Sister Zhi didn't get married and have children, otherwise the child would be as old as you." Mingzhuo
didn't comment. She remembered that in the information, Bai Lingzhi was nearly 40 years old and unmarried.
Although Taoist priests who practice in formal temples, such as Taoist Tingyun and Taoist Qinglian, are not allowed to get married and have children.
But the Bai family is obviously not like this. They are a Xuanmen family with a different way of practice. They focus on blood inheritance, so there are very few people like Bai Lingzhi.
It's not that the Bai family doesn't have other descendants, but they let Bai Lingzhi run the family. It can be seen that Bai Lingzhi must be extraordinary.
"Is it biased to judge a woman by her marriage and childbearing?" Ming Zhuo asked calmly.
Xiang Yuhan was stunned for a moment, then smiled apologetically, "Teacher Ruan, you are right, I am too one-sided."
