Chapter 164: The truth is revealed

After the three of them left, Zhang Ming looked back at the Taoist priest, and then said to Gu Qi:

"From now on, you will follow me and never leave, understand?"

Gu Qi looked at Zhang Ming, then nodded seriously and said: "Okay, although I have forgotten you, I don't know why I feel that you can trust me."

Zhang Ming smiled, touched Gu Qi's head with his hand, and made up his mind. No matter whether it was this Taoist priest or the old cripple, he had to find out the truth and let Gu Qi's earth soul return to her body.

But when he touched Gu Qi's head, he was surprised to find that there was no breath of the Soul-Fixing Orb in her body.

The Soul-Fixing Orb is no longer in her body?

"Gu Qi, do you remember who took out the beads from your body?" He asked Gu Qi in a low voice.

Gu Qi thought for a moment and said, "The beads... I don't remember..."

Zhang Ming sighed. He guessed that it must be Zhang Quezi who took the soul-fixing beads from Gu Qi's body. The more he thought about it, the more hateful he felt.

At this time, the Taoist priest came over and said,

"This girl is so pitiful. This time, no matter what, I will take her earth soul back from Zhang Quezi. But this Zhang Quezi has some skills, so when the time comes, you have to help him."

Zhang Ming smiled and said, "Of course!"

Then, they all sat outside the temple and waited. But during this process, Zhang Ming was always on guard against the Taoist priest.

After waiting for about half an hour, the cell phone in Zhang Ming's trouser pocket vibrated. Zhang Ming knew that a text message had been sent.

Then a few seconds later, the cell phone vibrated again.

The two text messages showed that after they inquired, what the villagers said was different from what the old Taoist said.

As Zhang Ming expected, there was indeed something wrong with the old Taoist.

But he did not show it, so as not to let the old Taoist see it.

While he was thinking, not long after, Fatty and the others came back quickly with Willow Branch.

They moved quickly because they did not want the old Taoist to be suspicious. After returning, he handed the willow branches to the old Taoist priest as if nothing had happened and said,

"Master, is it enough?"

The old Taoist priest took it and said, "Enough!"

"To help this girl find her earth soul, we must first ensure that her other two souls and seven spirits will not go wrong again. Because Zhang Quezi wants to take away her earth soul, he must not only want her earth soul, but her whole soul."

The old Taoist priest said, weaving the willow branches into a circle and put it on Gu Qi, and then said,

"Then, let's look for Zhang Quezi who came here. Now he can't take away the other souls of this girl, so we will take the earth soul from him."

"Master, do you know where he is?" Zhang Ming asked.

Because he has always been curious, some villagers said that they saw Zhang Quezi entering the forest and coming to the temple. But there is nothing here?

Moreover, if Zhang Kuizi didn't come, who brought Gu Qi here?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ming's expression suddenly froze, and he suddenly figured out something. Unconsciously, a faint smile appeared on his face.

At this time, the old Taoist took out some incense candles from his bag, and then arranged them on the ground in the shape of the Bagua formation. After pinching his fingers, the incense candles were all lit.

Then he asked Gu Qi to sit down in the Bagua formation!

During this period, Zhang Ming had already winked at Fatty and the others, clearly telling them that the Taoist priest was not right.

But he did not stop the Taoist priest, because what the Taoist priest was doing now would not harm Gu Qi at present.

Moreover, Zhang Ming probably understood this formation, which was just a simple soul-trapping formation.

It seemed that he wanted to keep Gu Qi's soul in his body for better protection.

And Zhang Ming wanted to see what the old Taoist priest wanted to do and what he would do.

After the old Taoist priest finished all this, he looked at Zhang Ming and the others. Seeing that they didn't say anything, he might be a little confused.

Then he pinched his hands, sat down on the spot, and then silently recited a spell.

The next moment, he suddenly slapped a stream of Taoist energy into the air in front of him.

The Taoist energy was slapped into the air, and after a while, a hand gesture suddenly appeared in the air and hit him.

He hurriedly blocked him, then sneered and said: "You are so good, Zhang the Cripple. After so many years, you have become more and more powerful!"

Zhang Ming understood that the old Taoist priest of the master had just been fighting with Zhang the Cripple through the air.

This is amazing. Without a Dharma altar, it is absolutely impossible to fight directly through the air without a certain level of cultivation.

But I didn't expect that the old Taoist priest in front of him could actually fight through the air.

Through this point, Zhang Ming judged that he and Zhang the Cripple's cultivation might really be comparable.

And Zhang the Cripple's cultivation is unfathomable, so Zhang Ming thinks that if they fight with this old Taoist priest, they will definitely not be his opponent.

Of course, they will definitely not be his opponent if they fight with Zhang Juezi.

So now he had to make an accurate analysis, whether it was Zhang the Cripple who stole Gu Qi's Earth Soul, or this old Taoist priest who was the bad guy.

Now, through various clues and what Mo Fan observed, all the suspicions about the old Cripple were obtained through overhearing.

And all the problems that Zhang Ming suspected about the old Taoist priest were all seen by Zhang Ming himself.

Although it was just a suspicion without evidence like Zhang the Cripple, Zhang Ming still felt that the suspicion of this old Taoist priest was very high.

No matter what, he had to make an accurate analysis.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to deal with Zhang the Cripple or this old Taoist priest.

At this moment, the old Taoist priest was making hand gestures, continuously sending out waves of Taoist energy, fighting with Zhang Quezi who was somewhere unknown across the void.

After fighting for a while, the old Taoist priest suddenly stopped and shouted into the air:

"Zhang Quezi, I'm in the temple deep in the forest. Come over if you have the ability."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and seemed to withdraw from the fight.

When Zhang Ming heard this, his brows wrinkled again.

What did he mean by this? Could it be that Zhang Quezi was not in this forest at all?

But before, the middle-aged man they met when they entered the forest said that he saw someone bringing Gu Qi in.

And later, the old Taoist priest also said that he saw Zhang Quezi bringing Gu Qi in, so he came in.

But now, in his conversation with Zhang Quezi, he asked Zhang Quezi to come to the forest.

In other words, he knew that Zhang Quezi had not come at all, and what the old Taoist priest said was a lie to Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming frowned, as if he suddenly thought of something. Why did that ordinary villager know that there were demons and ghosts in the forest, these dirty things?

Why did Zhang Ming and his friends encounter these dirty things recently? Why did they meet Gu Qi and the old Taoist priest when they just arrived at the small temple?

And now, the old Taoist priest asked Zhang the Cripple to come to the forest...

Zhang Ming sneered, it was getting more and more interesting.

The old Taoist priest had said it was flawless before, but he didn't expect that he would make mistakes if he said too much, and now he started to show his true colors.
