Chapter 410 Money is Enchanting 7
The next day at noon, Baiyun Temple.
"Friend Qing, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. How come you are free to come here today?"
Everyone in Baiyun Temple was preparing for the New Year, with lights and decorations hung everywhere. Taoist Master Jie Yun was hanging red lanterns himself when he received the notification from his disciples.
"Does Taoist Master Jie Yun recognize this thing?"
Qing Yanrou took out the whip she got from the abandoned factory last night and handed it to him and asked.
"Hmm? This is the Long Soul Whip, a magical weapon from Baiyun Temple. People with advanced cultivation can use it directly to deal with evil spirits.
Ordinary Taoist priests can easily deal with ordinary ghosts by simply sticking talismans on their whips."
Taoist Jie Yun took the Long Soul Whip, looked at it carefully and confirmed that it was correct, then said.
"According to what you said, this magical weapon is quite good. I guess it's not something that ordinary disciples can possess, right?"
Although this magic weapon is not a top-grade one, it is indeed a rare one.
Although Baiyun Temple is a century-old Taoist temple, it is not generous enough to give such a magical instrument to any disciple.
"I was just about to ask, fellow Taoist, this is the magic weapon of the Third Elder of Baiyun Temple. How come you have it?"
Just now, Taoist Jie Yun thought he had seen it wrong, so he looked at it carefully over and over again, and finally confirmed that it was the Third Elder's magic weapon, the Long Soul Whip.
"I'll have to ask your three elders about this."
Qing Yanrou took the Long Soul Whip back from his hand, a cold look flashed in her eyes, and she spoke softly.
…
Baiyun Temple.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and there are no pilgrims coming to burn incense. Baiyun Temple has simply closed its doors to prepare for the New Year and will reopen on the first day of the new year.
Taoist Master Xie Yun brought Qing Yanrou and Chu Tingbai to the temple. He had just learned from her why the whip was in her hand.
Although he felt that it was impossible for the Third Elder to do that, it was just as Qing Yanrou thought.
Few people in the Xuanmen today have the ability to subdue evil spirits and tame ghost generals.
If it really is the Third Elder, then the status of Baiyun Temple in the Xuanmen will also be affected.
Taoist Master Jie Yun knew the seriousness of the matter, so he went directly to find Taoist Master Mingyi, the abbot of Baiyun Temple.
"Master, please look at this whip."
Although Taoist Master Jie Yun was very sure that this was the magic weapon of the Third Elder Shi Bu, he still handed it to Taoist Master Mingyi for inspection just in case.
"Yes, it is indeed Shibu's magical tool."
Ming Yi stroked his beard with his hand with a sullen face and said in a low voice.
"Master, this—"
"Go call Shibu first."
Mingyi raised his hand to signal him not to say anything more.
"My dear Qing, if this is really related to Shi Divination, can we let Baiyun Temple handle it ourselves?"
After Taoist Jie Yun left, Mingyi thought about it and finally said to Qing Yanrou.
"What are you doing?"
“Well, although Baiyun Temple was not the only dominant one before, it still had a place in the Xuanmen.
Although Yantai Temple has few disciples, it has the spiritual consciousness of the founder to guard the temple, and everyone can see your cultivation.
Therefore, Baiyun Temple was willing to step back and make room.
However, now that the Shibu incident has happened, if he is truly involved, then the reputation of Baiyun Temple in the Xuanmen sect will be ruined. Sigh—"
Taoist Mingyi sighed heavily at the end.
“Master, I cannot agree with what you said.
Now this matter has become a big deal. If it is really related to the Third Elder, it is not something you can resolve internally.
Not only should he be taken away by the special authorities, but he should also be publicly announced in the Xuanmen to serve as a warning to those with evil intentions."
Qing Yanrou originally wanted to say something even harsher, but he was her elder after all, and he was also acquaintance of her grandfather, so she couldn't say anything more unkind.
But what Master Mingyi had just said did make her feel uncomfortable.
The reputation and status that Yantai Temple has now in the Taoist community are all earned through her own abilities.
If they are not convinced, they can just fight with me.
Instead of saying something like willing to take a step back and move.
It's as if they are treating her as a junior.
"My dear friend, are you really going to do this?"
Taoist Mingyi really admires Qing Yanrou, but since this involves the century-old reputation of Baiyun Temple, he is a bit extreme.
"What does Master Mingyi mean by this? What do you mean by "I'm doing something utterly ruthless"? A country has its laws, and a family has its rules. If someone breaks the law, the country must punish them. Otherwise, where does the law stand?
Besides, isn't it still unclear whether it's related to the Third Elder? It wouldn't be too late to talk about it after the matter is finalized."
Qing Yanrou had a faint smile on her face just now, but now her expression was completely cold.
Taoist Mingyi wanted to say something else, but Xie Yun had already brought Shi Bu to the main hall.
But when Shi Bu saw the Long Soul Whip, he turned around and left.
"Third Elder?!"
Although Xie Yun already had an idea in his mind, he didn't expect it to be related to him, and he shouted in surprise.
"Stop him!"
Mingyi would never let Shi Bu run away. If he ran away, it would only bring shame to Baiyun Temple.
While he ordered Jie Yun to stop him, he suddenly stood up from his chair and tried his best to catch up.
Just as he stood up, two figures flashed past him. When he reacted and chased after them, he saw that Shi Bu had been fixed in place by a talisman.
Qing Yanrou's movements were so fast that Shi Bu didn't have any time to react, and he was already fixed in place by the immobilization talisman.
If it was someone with a cultivation level similar to his, or if it was Taoist Master Mingyi, he would be able to fight.
It would never be like this now, with no ability to fight back, being easily fixed in place by a talisman.
Not only was he surprised and unable to accept it, even Taoist Master Mingyi, who was one step behind Qing Yanrou and the others, was shocked.
"Master Mingyi, the Third Elder just turned around and ran away without even answering our questions. I think this is the final answer.
In that case, I will take him back to the special department. Happy New Year and goodbye."
Qing Yanrou said her last words to Jie Yun. Without waiting for their reply, she asked Chu Tingbai to take Shi Bu away from Baiyun Temple.
"Is this the end?"
"Master, please go back to the hall. It's very windy outside."
After Taoist Master Jie Yun watched the three of them leave, his expression was a little heavy. When he heard his senior brother mumbling to himself, he spoke.
He knew that the person who could least accept this outcome was himself and his senior brother, the headmaster.
It was under the leadership of Taoist Master Mingyi that Baiyun Temple gradually became the number one temple in the Xuanmen sect.
After the establishment of Yantai Temple, the reputation of Baiyun Temple has been reduced a lot, and now this kind of thing happens again.
It was a big blow to Baiyun Temple, and an even bigger blow to Taoist Master Mingyi.
"Don't worry about me. Go to the special department and participate in their interrogation. Find out for me what Shi Bu is doing!"
"yes."
