Chapter 102 The Evil Image's Conspiracy
The little Taoist boy was startled by her sudden return. After hearing her words, he hesitated for a moment and said:
"Taoist monks can get married..."
But my senior brother already has a girlfriend...
Before the little Taoist boy could finish his words, he saw Chen Jiaqi leaving with a pensive look on his face.
Ah, this! I didn’t expect that my senior brother could easily win the heart of the female donor. I wonder when I can find a girlfriend.
Chen Jiaqi didn't care whether the little Taoist boy misunderstood her or not. She was thinking that Chu Tingbai and Qing Yanrou should not have become monks, otherwise the atmosphere between them would not be like that.
However, she never imagined that her CP would fall into the hands of a Taoist priest, and she never imagined that those two people were actually Taoist priests!!!
This is magical.
She was a little confused at this moment.
Qing Yanrou just noticed that someone was taking pictures of them, but seeing that the girl had no ill intentions, she ignored it and followed Han Dong and the others into the Taoist temple.
"Master Yuanyi, you are here. Come, come, please take a seat."
The master of Qingyun Temple, who was sitting there looking at the map, saw them coming in, stood up from his seat, and greeted them with a smile.
"This must be the Taoist priest Qing who can summon the judge of the underworld! The young are truly to be feared!"
When he saw Qing Yanrou standing at the back, his eyes were filled with burning passion.
Looking at the familiar eyes, Han Dong felt a little headache. Just now, his junior fellow apprentice looked at the girl with such eyes, and this time his master also looked at her with such eyes.
Is this what is called a close master-disciple relationship?
But what did the old master say just now?
Please call the judge of the underworld???
Who??? That little girl???
At this time, Han Dong's mind was full of questions. He wanted to find someone to ask, but he found that he was not very familiar with other people in the Taoist sect, so he didn't know how to start.
As for his master and fellow apprentices, they were all staring at the little girl with stars in their eyes. Their admiration was beyond words and they had no time to pay attention to him.
I could only suppress the doubts in my heart and stand quietly aside.
Looking at the master of Qingyun Temple who was particularly enthusiastic towards her, Qing Yanrou didn't feel much in her heart.
Still greeted him in a dignified manner.
"Hello, Master. I am Yanrou, the Inkstone Master of Province G."
"Yantaiguan, I know him. I had tea with Master Jianyi more than 20 years ago. I never thought that Jianyi could have such an outstanding disciple."
The master of Qingyun Temple felt a little emotional at the end of his speech.
He recalled that when he first went to Yantai Temple, it was in ruins, even the mountain gate was crumbling. There was only one person in the entire temple, guarding the numerous memorial tablets in a deserted manner.
Unexpectedly, twenty years later, Yantai Temple would be supported by this little girl alone.
This made him sigh that life is unpredictable!
When Qing Yanrou heard that she and Master Jianyi were old acquaintances, a hint of tenderness appeared on her face, and she was no longer as aloof as before.
"Your apprentice is also very talented."
"Hahahaha, come on, let's sit down and talk."
When the abbot of Qingyun Temple heard her words, he stroked his beard and laughed a few times, then invited them to take a seat.
He motioned Han Dong to bring the map over, and said to everyone while looking at the map:
"I was in seclusion before and didn't know about the evil statue. The disciples in the temple did keep an eye on it, but we didn't detect any trace of its activities in Province Y."
"It's also because they haven't mastered the skills well enough. Yesterday, when I came out of retreat and heard them talking about it, I did some divination and found that there's something unusual here, Yuntai Mountain."
Everyone followed the direction pointed by Taoist Qingyun, leaned slightly, and looked at the point marked Yuntaishan on the map.
"What does this mountain have to say?"
Looking at Yuntai Mountain, which is located at the junction of Y Sheng and Province C, everyone frowned slightly.
It can be seen from the map that the altitude of this mountain is quite high, more than 2,000 meters.
"Because of the dangerous terrain and high altitude, the entire mountain is a protected area and no outsiders are allowed to set foot here."
Han Dong, who was standing by, explained to them that this was also the reason why they did not notice the evil spirit's activities in Province Y at that time.
They didn't even think about Yuntaishan.
Is the terrain difficult? No one has ever set foot on it?
When Qing Yanrou thought about these two points, she had a deeper association. Generally, such places would have some natural treasures that were beneficial to those who practice Taoism.
Maybe this evil statue discovered something and chose this place.
Otherwise, his original activity trajectory was in the north. He couldn't have been scared to the southwest because of Chu Tingbai's words.
This is in stark contrast to his bold and reckless style of behavior.
So the reason he chose Yuntaishan was not just because it was an uninhabited area where it was easy to hide, making it difficult for them to find him and thus prevent them from destroying his plan.
But there must be something here that attracted him and made him think it was worth taking such a risk.
After she told everyone her guess, everyone in the room fell into deep thought.
"I've been to the outer areas of Yuntai Mountain before. The spiritual energy was relatively abundant out there, but the higher you go, the thinner the spiritual energy becomes, and the air is also thinner. Furthermore, from about 1,800 meters above sea level up to nearly 600 to 700 meters, there are snow-capped mountains."
Generally, deep mountains and old forests have rare medicinal herbs and more abundant spiritual energy than in cities. Han Dong once went to the outskirts of Yuntai Mountain and practiced with the abundant spiritual energy there.
"However, the mountain always gave me a very majestic feeling, which made me feel daunted, so I never went up it."
"Master Qingyun, may I ask if there are any dragon veins in Province Y?"
"Of course there is, but it's on another mountain far away, and someone is protecting the dragon vein."
The master of Qingyun Temple did not expect Qing Yanrou to think in this way. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Dragon veins are so difficult to cultivate. How could there be two dragon veins in one province?
So he denied her guess from the bottom of his heart.
Qing Yanrou was not annoyed. After all, this was just a small guess of hers.
"There's no point in talking any more. We can't figure out anything here just by looking at the map. Why don't we just go and explore Yuntai Mountain and find out?"
Seeing that they were all silent, Shang Qi couldn't help but speak.
Exploring Yuntaishan is a must, but you have to choose the right time.
They also have to find the bodies of the four missing children first. They don’t know if they were also taken to Yuntai Mountain.
"So, let's see, should we explore Yuntai Mountain tonight or tomorrow?"
Before they knew it, it was already afternoon. Winter nights come especially early. The master of Qingyun Temple looked at the sun that was about to set and asked everyone.
"Choose some people to go and have a look at it in the evening."
Having decided this, everyone went to eat first and prepared to explore Yuntaishan at night.
