Chapter 165 The truth is revealed
Then the old Taoist priest asked everyone to wait, and told Zhang Ming and the other four that when Zhang Quezi arrived, they would attack together, surround him, and hurt him first no matter what.
Then, they would have a chance to find Gu Qi's earth soul from him.
In this way, it would be basically impossible to return Gu Qi's earth soul to Gu Qi's body, and then take the soul out of her body.
And then, they would slowly interrogate and decide how to deal with Zhang Quezi.
Listening to the words of the old Taoist priest, Zhang Ming and the others nodded in agreement.
And each of them showed an angry expression on their face!
But they knew very well in their hearts that they could not do this.
Especially the fat man and the yellow-haired man. After all, Zhang the Lame is their master. If Zhang the Lame is really an unforgivable villain, then they might kill him for the sake of justice.
But now, judging from some clues, the old Taoist priest is most likely lying. So they naturally don't have to really listen to him.
But in the end, it still depends on how Zhang Ming solves it, because for now, among all the people present, Zhang Ming is the one with a more flexible mind and a relatively thorough understanding of the whole thing.
After waiting for a while, a figure quickly rushed out of the forest.
This figure walked unsteadily, but was very anxious. After running outside the temple, he saw Mo Fan and the old Taoist priest standing in the temple.
And the person who came was Zhang the Lame!
Zhang Quezi looked at everyone and was about to say something, but he saw Zhang Ming pretending to be angry and said: "Zhang Quezi, you have seized Gu Qi's earth soul, what else do you have to say now?"
Zhang Quezi didn't say anything when he saw this, just looked at Zhang Ming.
Fatty and Huangmao also spoke up:
"Master, we have been following you for a year, but we didn't expect you to be such a person!"
"That's right, you are so hateful!"
Facing their accusations, Zhang Quezi still didn't say anything, he just gasped for breath. Before he could catch his breath, the old Taoist snorted and said:
"You are finally here, today I will settle accounts with you for these years."
As he said this, he waved to Zhang Ming and the others, and then took the lead to rush towards the old lame man.
Zhang Ming sneered at the situation, and then nodded to the fat man and the yellow-haired man.
The four of them also rushed towards the lame Zhang, but after rushing, they did not join the old Taoist priest to surround the lame Zhang, but surrounded the old Taoist priest at once.
This action not only confused the old Taoist priest, but also made Zhang lame a little confused.
"What are you doing?" The old Taoist priest looked puzzled.
Zhang Ming sneered and said, "Do you think that your self-proclaimed flawless explanation can fool us?"
"What do you mean?" The old Taoist priest's face sank.
Zhang Ming continued, "Don't pretend, I have guessed that it was you who really brought Gu Qi in, right?"
"You...what did you say?" The old Taoist priest was stunned.
"You said before that you saw Zhang Quezi bringing Gu Qi into the forest, so you went back to get the magic weapon. Later, you fought with Zhang Quezi in the air, and then let Zhang Quezi come into the forest to find you. Don't you think there is a conflict?
Therefore, it was you who brought Gu Qi in. Zhang Quezi didn't come in at all. You took advantage of Gu Qi's weakness of not being able to remember people to make us all believe that it was Zhang Quezi who brought her in.
In fact, it was you, but Gu Qi forgot and only knew that you were an uncle. And when you appeared again, Gu Qi didn't remember you, so she just covered it up, right?" Zhang Ming asked.
The old Taoist was stunned and said, "Nonsense, ridiculous!"
"Ridiculous? Then explain, you saw Zhang Quezi coming in, why did you know he was not in the forest?" Zhang Ming sneered.
This time the Taoist priest was speechless, and then the yellow-haired man said, "You said before that Zhang Quezi was notorious in Guxi Village, but when we went out just now, we asked several families.
They all said that Zhang Quezi from Guxi Village was a good person and often helped nearby villages for free. On the contrary, there was an evil Taoist priest in Gujia Village, and it should be you, right?"
The old Taoist priest said with a gloomy face, "You suspected me instead?"
"No, no, you came out self-righteously and pushed everything that you thought was very reasonable onto Zhang Quezi, but you didn't think that as long as it was a lie, there must be loopholes." Zhang Ming said lightly.
"Haha... OK... So you suspect that I also stole the earth soul of this girl?" The old Taoist priest sneered.
Zhang Ming looked at the old Taoist priest and said, "Not only that, the Soul-Fixing Orb is also on you!"
The old Taoist priest said with a gloomy face, "Well, I didn't expect that many of my careful plans were broken by you guys. I'm really unwilling. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it's broken. You've all fallen into my trap anyway."
"Trap?" Zhang Ming frowned and said, "The rotten corpses, zombies and ghosts you arranged along the way, don't they count?"
"It counts, but I didn't expect the four of you to come here. But it doesn't matter. Once you get here, you'll die anyway."
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he suddenly pinched his hand, and six skeletons floated out of the temple.
The six new skeletons were wearing tattered monk robes, and after floating out, the tattered monk robes on their bodies swayed in the wind, which was very scary.
Six skeletons surrounded them, each of them exuding a terrifying aura, definitely not weak.
Seeing this, Zhang Ming suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I still have some questions I don't understand."
He said, looking at Zhang Quezi and said: "Why did you leave for so long, and not go to Guxi Village to save people!"
When he mentioned this, he sighed and said: "When I went there, I saw at the entrance of the village that everyone inside was dead."
"Then... why didn't you go in and deal with that evil knife and the young corpse." Zhang Ming continued to ask.
Zhang Quezi said: "Before I reached the village entrance, I met this old Taoist priest and fought with him in various ways. The fight lasted for two weeks."
"Who called Huangmao and said you were in danger?" Zhang Quezi said:
"It wasn't me. I don't know about this. I only knew that the old Taoist priest was going to attack Gu Qi, so I hurried back to take Gu Qi away and protect her.
Due to time constraints, I took Gu Qi away by force, so I beat her brother and only slightly injured him. But I didn't expect that I would meet the old Taoist priest just after I took Gu Qi away.
After a fierce battle with him, I got back Gu Qi's soul, but I was also seriously injured. The Taoist's apprentice took the opportunity to take Gu Qi away.
I took the earth soul and went to find Gu Qi. Who knew that the Taoist was very cautious and kept avoiding me, and then ran to this small temple. I just found out his whereabouts after fighting with me."
"His apprentice?" Zhang Ming said, "Is he from Gujia Village? A middle-aged man?"
Zhang Quezi nodded, then took out a small black gourd from his body and threw it to Zhang Ming, saying:
"Gu Qi's soul is in it. You go and return the earth soul to the child's body. I will deal with this Taoist."
