Chapter 95 The Evil Statue's Conspiracy
The reason why Qing Yanrou did not put too many talismans on it was to gradually build up the reputation of Yantai Temple.
After posting the status, she ignored the message above and left the forum.
Seeing that she finally put down her phone, Chu Tingbai asked the flight attendant for a blanket so that she could sleep a little longer.
Although she looked energetic, she had only slept for about four hours since last night.
She listened to him and closed her eyes to rest. Before she fell asleep, she wondered if she could continue the dream she had in the morning.
However, her idea was ultimately dashed. Not only did she not enter that dream again, she didn't even have a dream at all. She slept until the plane landed.
It was around six in the afternoon when we got off the plane and it was almost dark.
The two of them had lunch at noon. Chu Tingbai first took her to eat, and then found a car to take them to the county where the accident happened to meet up with Bai Yi and the others.
By the time they arrived at the hotel Bai Yi had given them, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
"Student Qing, Brother Chu, you are here."
When Bai Yi saw Chu Tingbai walking towards them with his arm around Qing Yanrou's shoulders, he was stunned for a moment. He ignored the slight bitterness in his heart and greeted them with a smile.
The subtle change in his expression did not escape Chu Tingbai's eyes. He glanced at him indifferently, and held Qing Yanrou's arm even tighter, but did not forget to control the strength so as not to hurt her.
"How about it?"
She didn't notice anything wrong with him and just asked about the progress here.
"There's still no news of the five missing people. Three of the nine seriously injured have already died despite efforts to save them. Furthermore, these three still had over twenty years left to live, but now they're dead, and their souls have been taken away by the ghost messenger."
Bai Yi said to her as he led them into a conference room.
The conference hall was now full of people, some wearing special department uniforms, others wearing Taoist robes and casual clothes.
Everyone was discussing in groups of three or four. When they saw them come in, they stopped and looked at them.
"Let me introduce to you all, this is Taoist Master Qing Yanrou from Yantai Temple."
Bai Yi cleared his throat and introduced himself to everyone in the conference room.
As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room immediately became buzzing with discussion.
"Is it Taoist Master Qing Xiaorou above? "
The person who asked this question was a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe. He was clearly wearing a Taoist robe, but he was not wearing a hat.
This makes his head stand out the most. His thick, black hair has been the envy of several young men in the special department for a long time.
Bai Yi didn't know Qing Yanjudao's nickname, so he looked at her.
Seeing her nod, the middle-aged man in Taoist robes stood up from his seat excitedly and walked to her.
"Qing, Taoist Qing, you are truly amazing. Can I buy talismans from you now?"
Looking at the excited uncle in front of her, she was a little stunned, then she smiled and said:
"Of course, who are you?"
"Oh, look at me. Hello, Taoist Priest. I'm Gu Yiyang, and my nickname on Taole.com is Gu Daxian. I bought a hair growth talisman from you before, hehehe."
Gu Daxian spoke loudly. When he mentioned the hair growth talisman, his hand could not help but touch his hair, which was growing well. (Cha Cha deliberately used the word "growing well" (ω))
She still had a deep impression of the nickname Gu Daxian. She had first seen him during the Hair-Eating Ghost mission.
Later, he was one of the first people to buy the hair growth talisman, and in his subsequent feedback, he used two contrasting pictures to prove the effect of the hair growth talisman.
Qing Yanrou was deeply impressed by him.
"Hey, Taoist Qing, do you still have the hair growth talisman?"
Several people from the special departments sitting there finally couldn't sit still and started asking questions.
Hearing their words, her eyes involuntarily swept over their heads.
Well, the hairline is a little dangerous.
"Not available right now. You can place an order on Daoleme in five days."
She didn't bring any extra things with her this time, so she couldn't draw talismans for them on the spot.
Moreover, this door cannot be opened. If it is opened, everyone will ask her to paint for them on the spot. How can she bring traffic to Yantaiguan?
The few people who just wanted to try their luck were not discouraged.
"Is this a scam? He doesn't have any talismans on him, so why not just draw one on the spot?"
At this moment, a disdainful voice was heard in the corner of the conference room, and the tone contained contempt for Qing Yanrou.
Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a short middle-aged man in casual clothes.
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Li Yang not only did not feel any pressure, but also looked very proud.
"How can you talk like that? You're just calling someone a liar. If you have the guts, show me the evidence."
The young man sitting diagonally across from Li Yang, also in casual clothes, spoke.
This seems to be speaking for Qing Yanrou, but every word indicates that she is unable to prove her innocence.
"you…"
Bai Yi was just starting to argue with the two people when he was stopped by Qing Yanrou.
"I'm not here today to show you how to draw talismans. If you have time to question me, you might as well solve the problem at hand first."
She didn't want to waste too much time arguing with them. Even though the best way now was to draw a talisman to hit them in the face, it would be better to analyze the current situation instead.
Moreover, there will be plenty of opportunities to slap someone in the face later.
"Alright! If you're not studying anything late at night, go back to bed!"
Seeing that the two men wanted to talk, an old man sitting in the main seat said unhappily, and his eyes swept over the two people who were still trying to make trouble.
Frightened by the old man's gaze, the two men huddled in their seats like quails, not daring to speak anymore.
"That's the elder of Huoyun Temple, Taoist Yuanyi."
Bai Yi introduced them to the two of them.
"My dear friend, please take a seat."
Yuan Yi was much softer towards her, putting away his serious expression and speaking in a tone like a normal junior chatting, without any airs.
The completely different attitudes towards Qing Yanrou and the other two people made those people in the meeting room who were originally on the sidelines and had a hint of hostility towards Qing Yanrou temporarily put their little thoughts at ease.
She politely bowed slightly to Taoist Yuan Yi to express her gratitude, and then sat on the other side of the conference room with Chu Tingbai in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, ignoring everyone's thoughts.
Seeing her calmness, Yuan Yi couldn't help but admire her even more.
"Everyone is here, let's talk."
Yuan Yi gestured to Yang Xiu, who was wearing a Taoist robe and sitting on the other side of him, to speak.
Yang Xiu is also an elder of Huoyun Temple, but his seniority is not as high as Yuan Yidao, and of course his cultivation is also far behind.
"The bus that crashed into the river has been completely salvaged, and the dashcam and other equipment inside are completely destroyed. I can only conclude from the faint trace of aura remaining in the bus that it's connected to the evil image."
"We have previously studied how that evil statue possessed various evil statues."
"Unfortunately, there has been no progress."
His words plunged the conference room into silence, and everyone's face was filled with deep thought.
"His soul is incomplete, and he needs to possess each evil statue, tempting those who possess the evil statues to find him sacrificial items, so that he can resurrect himself."
