"You two, I have never met Fellow Daoist Jian," Taoist Lingxiao said, looking at them with a puzzled expression. "As for whether she has ever been to the Taoist temple, why not check the surveillance camera at the main gate?"
Qin Xin and Huang Zhan came in hurriedly. They had not noticed that there was a surveillance camera at the gate of the Taoist temple before. They didn't know how to react for a moment and just nodded.
Taoist Lingxiao skillfully took out a brand new laptop from the drawer. His slender and somewhat shriveled fingers quickly operated on the computer keyboard and quickly called up the surveillance video of the gate of Luoyue Temple.
He extended his hand as a gesture of invitation, and Qin Xin and Huang Zhan sat on his left and right respectively. Then he clicked on the surveillance videos and watched them, using fast forward.
When the surveillance footage appeared, Qin Xin no longer cared about Taoist Lingxiao's proficiency in using electronic products.
This is not a remote and backward place, so it is not surprising that the Taoist priests keep up with the times.
After watching the surveillance videos one by one in fast-forward mode, several hours passed and Jane Yi did not appear in them.
Taoist Lingxiao touched his chin and said, "Daoyou Jian has never been here. The last time Old Chen came here, he mentioned to me how powerful Daoyou Jian was. I didn't expect her to disappear."
"Things are a bit tricky," Taoist Lingxiao fell into deep thought. "Can you two tell me the details? Oh, and I haven't asked Fellow Daoist Jian why he came here yet?"
Qin Xin said it in a few words.
Taoist Lingxiao frowned tightly. "I once enlightened a man named Qiao Yuchun, but he truly didn't believe what I said and even called me a liar. It was infuriating. A few months later, he met with a bloody disaster and died. His spirit came here to listen to my teachings. He had a bad temper when he was alive, but he became much more polite after his death. He talked about his mother, who couldn't let go of her ailing mother, his wife raising a child alone, and his immature children. He also mentioned the first love you mentioned. When he's in a good mood, he'll tell me everything, big or small. He's quite talkative. But..."
Seeing Qin Xin and the other two were nervous, Taoist Lingxiao didn't keep them in suspense: "He hasn't been here for a long time."
"You say Qiao Yuchun is the lackey of the person behind the scenes, and that he even ordered other Yin spirits to cause the car accident. I'm a little skeptical," said Taoist Lingxiao. "Based on what I've learned during that time, I don't think Qiao Yuchun is that kind of person. Of course, I can't rule out other reasons, but Qiao Yuchun would definitely not take the initiative to do such a thing. If he really did, it shows that my vision is a bit poor."
I thought Qiao Yuchun was a breakthrough point, but now everything is so confusing again, and Jian Yi is missing. I have no clue at all.
Qin Xin put his hands on the table and sat in his seat thinking, when he suddenly thought of someone, Fang Changsheng.
Yi Yi is missing. It’s definitely not going to work for her to look for her like this. She has to call more people.
The moment Qin Xin took out her phone, something seemed to flash through her mind, but she couldn't grasp it for a moment. She paused for a moment, but still couldn't grasp the fleeting thought.
I had no choice but to give up and call Fang Changsheng.
When Fang Changsheng learned that Jian Yi was missing, his voice suddenly rose: "Miss Qin, are you telling the truth?"
"Yi Yi said she wanted to visit Luoyue Temple in Qingfeng Town..."
Fang Changsheng's face was not good. He could clearly feel that the people behind him were getting more and more anxious. It seemed that Jian Yi's presence had indeed caused a lot of trouble for the other party.
Qin Xin thought about the major car accidents that might happen and asked about it.
Fang Changsheng said, "All the Yin spirits that can be sent out have been sent out to guard the highways across the country. Many fellow Taoists have also joined in to ensure that those Yin spirits who want to do evil cannot succeed."
Qin Xin just breathed a sigh of relief, but her body stiffened and she caught what had just flashed through her mind.
"Team Leader Fang is saying that the evil spirit hasn't been found yet?"
"Indeed not. Basically every half an hour the ghosts in various places will report the situation of their guarding." Fang Changsheng was a little complacent when he said this. It is not an easy task in itself to mobilize all the ghosts in such a short time.
It only shows that the country is very powerful. People who are alive and dead all want to do their best. No one wants to see the people behind the scenes causing trouble.
Qin Xin's expression never relaxed and he remained serious throughout the whole process.
"Team Leader Fang, I have a guess."
Without waiting for Fang Changsheng to speak, Qin Xin continued, "Qiao Yuchun, and the occurrence of these car accidents may be to attract all our attention. The people behind it don't really want to cause so many large car accidents. They want to divert all our attention and do other things."
"That's the problem. This is just speculation. What if the other party really has two plans? So we can't relax yet."
Qin Xin told Taoist Lingxiao the information he had obtained about Qiao Yuchun, and became more and more certain that the person behind the scenes was just trying to divert their attention.
The other party is too calculating, and these things will definitely be taken seriously.
Fang Changsheng was covered in cold sweat. After being reminded like this, he didn't know what to do for a moment.
The person behind this was too cunning. He had no idea what the other party was going to do or where he was going to do it. Even if he understood everything and it was just to attract their attention, there was nothing he could do.
Fang Changsheng: "I have a meeting."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Xin stood up and prepared to go take a look nearby. She didn't know what to do and had no idea at all.
"Ah, still no trace of her?" It was Taoist Lingxiao's voice. Qin Xin subconsciously turned around and found that he was on the phone. As she stepped out of the door, she heard Taoist Lingxiao say, "Then I'm sorry to bother you. If you know Nanxing's whereabouts, please inform me. This child has been raised in the Taoist temple and has never left home. I don't know where he ran off to."
Taoist Lingxiao ended the call and stretched out his hands to calculate. His brows were furrowed so much that they could have pinched a bug to death. "I still can't figure it out."
Qin Xin turned around and walked back: "Master, is it the Taoist temple's people who are missing?"
"Yes, one of my disciples has been missing for several days," said Taoist Lingxiao, his face filled with worry. "This child has no talent for learning Taoism and is just an ordinary person. It's really worrying. He's usually very well-behaved, but with the chaos out there, I'm really worried something might have happened to him. I did some divination, and he's still alive, but I can't figure out his whereabouts."
If he wasn't still alive, he wouldn't look so relaxed.
Huang Zhan suddenly asked, "Is it possible that the disappearance of the young Taoist priest is related to the person behind the scenes?"
Taoist Lingxiao sighed and asked, "How would I know that?"
With no clue, Qin Xin and Huang Zhan had to leave the Taoist temple. They wandered around Qingfeng Town and prepared to return to Rong City.
The two decided to go to Rong City Polytechnic University to find out who Qiao Yuchun was when he was alive. It would be even better if they could meet Qiao Yuchun's soul. In fact, they knew that it was almost impossible to meet Qiao Yuchun at this point.
"Huang Zhan, Miss Qin? Why are you here?"
As soon as the two of them entered the University of Science and Technology, they were stopped by someone. Looking in the direction of the voice, they found that it was Niu Anan.
Niu Anan was holding a beautiful little bag in her hand, and it could be seen that there must be some very exquisite things inside.
Niu Anan was originally happy, but when she heard that Jian Yi was missing, her expression changed.
"How could it be? Sister Yiyi is so powerful, how could she disappear for no reason?"
The two didn't know how to answer this question.
Upon learning that they were here to inquire about Qiao Yuchun, Niu Anan said without hesitation, "Let's go find Qi Ye. Qi Ye is a professor at the school, so it's easier for her to find out about these things. She's so smart, maybe she can find some clues."
Niu Anan took out her cell phone and called Qi Ye: "Qi Ye, are you busy?"
Qi Ye looked at the pile of work at hand, gently pushed his glasses, and said, "Not busy."
Student assistant: “…” Professor, isn’t it a bit bad to lie like this?
She secretly glanced at Qi Ye's wrists and neck. The professor now likes to wear various accessories more and more.
But aren’t those two big gold bracelets on her wrists a little too conspicuous?
After following the professor for several months, she did notice one thing: his aesthetic fluctuated, sometimes delicate, sometimes rough, sometimes high-end, sometimes down-to-earth. Or perhaps, this was Professor Qi.
Isn't there only a fine line between genius and madness?
Qi Ye appeared, and she immediately saw Qin Xin and Huang Zhan. She was not familiar with these two people, but she knew them both. She nodded slightly and greeted them, and the warmth in her eyes was gone.
It seems that it was not this stupid calf who came to see her today, but these two people.
Niu Anan didn't notice and ran over to tell what happened in a few words, but found that Qi Ye's eyes glanced at the bag in her hand.
She remembered this and handed the bag over: "I brought it for you."
Qi Ye took it in his hand without leaving any trace, and his expression did not change the whole time: "I'll take you to the cafeteria to ask."
Jane is missing.
This matter is not simple. It seems that the people behind it are becoming more and more anxious. What exactly do they want to do?
Although she conducted experiments and taught students every day and was quite concerned about this matter, no one had any clues about it, so she had no way to focus on research and could only follow the development of the matter.
"Ms. Qin, have you and Jian Yi signed a contract?" Qi Ye asked.
Qin Xin was slightly stunned. "Contract?"
"Symbiotic Contract." Qi Ye pushed his glasses up, his lips parted slightly, his voice pleasant but a bit too dull, "It's better to sign this together. Like in the current situation, if we sign a symbiotic contract, even if we can't reach the other person's position, we can still sense their presence."
Qin Xin seemed to be thinking about something, and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. He would find the little monster and sign the contract first.
Qi Ye glanced at Niu Anan lightly, then looked away. After signing the contract, he couldn't run away.
How can giving small gifts or snacks be better than giving them directly to others?
In the school cafeteria, several people learned that Qiao Yuchun might have a bad temper, but he was a good person and very warm-hearted.
That's all the information we can get.
"I'll go back and ask my adoptive father if he can gather some fellow Taoists to look for Xiao Yi's whereabouts. I'll contact you when I have any news."
Several people parted ways.
At the same time, in the Shura world.
"Jane, are you sure?" Gao Fu looked horrified. "Can you do it?"
Jian Yi: "We'll know if it works if we try it. Asuras eat people, and I eat Asuras."
Long Yuan and Gao Fu quickly said, "We don't eat humans, unlike those Asuras."
Is Jian Yi really that powerful? Even if she finds a passage, can she really get out? If she has a good command of formations, then there is indeed a chance.
"Let's go and summon all the Asuras and have them find the location of the passage. I don't believe we can't find it."
Hearing Jian Yi's words, the two shuddered. They really wanted to go out, but it would be bad to offend all the Asuras. If they couldn't win, they could only run for their lives.
In order to gain their trust, Jian Yi walked out of the Taoist temple and transformed into a tornado, heading towards the forest outside.
In just half a minute, the originally terrifying and gloomy forest became bare, as if it had been swept flat by some terrible force.
Jane Yi stood by and wiped the corner of her mouth: "It really doesn't taste very good."
Gao Fu: “…”
Long Yuan: “…”
Oh my god, this is so awesome.
The entire forest was swallowed by her?
Jian Yi said viciously, "Give all the Asuras ten days. If they can't find the passage to the human world, I will swallow up the entire Asura world."
Gao Fu: "If the Shura Realm is gone, then where will we Asuras live?"
"Living in the human world and joining our country will strengthen our national strength. Our country is very tolerant. As long as you obey the law, don't break the rules, and don't intentionally harm humans, there will be a place for you to stay. The country will issue you ID cards and let you eat on the bus. It's very comfortable, much more comfortable than living in this gloomy place."
When Long Yuan and Gao Fu heard this, they couldn't help but feel envious. It was great.
Oh, I really want to go. I’m so excited.
Yes, what's so good about the Shura world? It's so gloomy and if you're not careful you'll get entangled by vines and have your blood sucked. I don't know how many Ashuras have died like this over the years.
Jane Yi glared at the little Taoist priest standing at the door. She had already found out the little Taoist priest's name, Nanxing.
In fact, she has a way to know what is in Nanxing's mind, and she can also search his soul.
The reason I didn't do this was that I couldn't get out for the time being, and even if Soul Search knew about it, there would be nothing I could do.
The little Taoist priest is just an ordinary person and cannot withstand the soul search. She is not stupid, but after the soul search, the little Taoist priest cannot cook. What does she eat?
There are several mouths to feed here, and they all need to eat.
You can't let her eat things from the Shura Realm, right? It tastes terrible.
Nan Xing was frightened by Jian Yi's eyes and stepped back. He patted his chest lightly and did not believe that Jian Yi could leave the Shura Realm.
Let them get busy. By the time they find a clue, the adults' work will probably be almost done.
When Gao Fu and Long Yuan passed by the bare forest, they couldn't help but step on it and touch it there, with uncontrollable excitement in their eyes.
They were completely attracted by what Jane Yi said about the wonderful life of eating meals on the bus. Thinking that they would be able to eat all kinds of delicacies from the human world, get a salary, and escape from the Shura world, they were full of hope for the future.
"When you leave, leave your salary to me to distribute," said Gao Fu.
Long Yuan: "You have to save some pocket money, right?"
"Then calculate the prices in the human world. You're not a rich young man anymore. With the speed you spend money, how can you make a living? I didn't say I wouldn't give you pocket money."
Long Yuan was a little dazed, remembering the days when she had been extravagant. She felt that she had been right to obey Gao Fu's arrangements. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have followed him to the Shura Realm.
"Then I don't want pocket money."
Gao Fu: "You still have to give it. You have to have enough money for two drinks."
Jane Yi suddenly turned around, startling the two of them.
"Jane, do you have anything else to say?"
Jane Yi: "I miss my boyfriend."
"My partner works very hard to earn money and says he buys me food."
"She's very beautiful."
"She's a very nice person, but a little shy. She had a crush on me for a long time, but I couldn't expose her for fear of embarrassing her. It was revealed when she awakened her bloodline."
Gao Fu: “…”
Long Yuan: “…”
They never thought that one day they would be fed dog food like this. It was really unbelievable.
Gao Fu and Long Yuan took Jane to the residence of Ashura they knew, and asked them to help find the location of the passage to the human world.
At first the Asuras disagreed, but later Jane had a friendly conversation with them, and the Asuras were persuaded and willingly expressed their desire to find the location of the passage to the human world.
The Asuras looked at Jane's departing back, then looked at the bare surroundings, and tremblingly went to look for the passage to the human world.
The other party said that as long as they get out, they will be assigned jobs and can eat food from the human world. They are a little excited. The premise is that they can't eat humans from now on. After all, there are no people in Asura now, so they can't eat them.
“Help—”
"Don't run, let me take a bite. Even though it's not a human body, a human soul is delicious. Just take a bite."
"No, no, no, sir, I'm just a tiny soul. I really can't be bitten. If you bite me, I'll be gone. I have parents and children to take care of. I really can't be eaten!"
"Boy, you can't go back to the human world, so why not let me bite you? This way, it can be considered as recycling. Trust me once and I won't eat you. I have never eaten a human before. I will only take a bite to taste the human world. I haven't been to the human world for a long time and I miss it very much. Even a sniff will do."
When Jane Yi heard these sounds, she ran over quickly. Just then, a ghost rushed over and she grabbed it.
The moment she saw the ghost's face, she was stunned: "Qiao Yuchun?"
"Where are you from, you nosy little girl? Return that evil spirit to me immediately, or I will devour you all without mercy."
Jian Yi threw Qiao Yuchun to Gao Fu and Long Yuan: "This guy is very important, don't let him get away."
Qiao Yuchun looked desperate. Had he just escaped from the tiger's mouth and fallen into the wolf's den?
Jane glanced around and saw what a dense forest it was.
"Eat me? Big guy, let me show you who eats who." Jane turned into a tornado and swept through the surrounding forest.
A minute later, everything around was bare and the forest was gone.
Jian Yi wiped the corner of her mouth very gracefully: "Big guy, I heard you want to eat me?"
"Well... actually, I don't eat humans. I just wanted to taste the flavor of the human world. This kid has only been here for a short time, so he's quite new. After a while, he won't taste the flavor of the human world anymore." Yin Tingjun explained, "It was just a misunderstanding... And can you please stop calling me Big Guy? My name is Yin Tingjun. I was once a human, a second-rank official."
When saying this, Yin Tingjun straightened his body. Although he looked ferocious, he was full of righteousness. "I am an incorruptible person who serves the people and the country. How could I possibly eat humans? I just miss the taste of the human world. I really want to just take a bite. If biting is not enough, smelling it is also fine."
Jian Yi took out a steamed bun and handed it to Yin Tingjun reluctantly: "Do you want to go to the human world?"
Yin Tingjun's eyes lit up, and he reached out to pick up the steamed bun: "Steamed bun!"
He sniffed it gently, looking very enjoyable and a little nostalgic. He carefully broke it open and ate it: "Can I still return to the human world?"
"If you help me find the location of the passage to the human world, we can go back."
"I think you're very capable and I believe in you." Yin Tingjun added, "You just came from the human world, right? It seems that thing hasn't been successful yet."
Jane's heart moved. That thing? What thing?
"The gate to the underworld hasn't been opened yet, right?" Yin Tingjun asked.
Something flashed through Jian Yi's mind, but the information was too little, so she didn't catch it and asked, "No, Lord Yin, do you know something?"
"Give me another steamed bun and I'll tell you."
Jian Yi looked back at Gao Fu and Long Yuan, and they reluctantly took out a steamed bun and handed it to Yin Tingjun.
Yin Tingjun looked very gentle when eating steamed buns, but now he was ugly and looked a little weird.
"It was because of this incident that I came to the Shura Realm and became an Asura."
Jian Yi continued, "Was it the person behind this? Have you seen that person?"
"I've seen it, and I'll never forget it. He wanted to open the gate to the underworld. The closure of the gate to the underworld is actually for the safety of the human world."
This was the first time Jane Yi heard that when the gates of the underworld were closed, her parents were still sleeping. At that time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dropped rapidly, and many powerful people chose to sleep to see if they could survive this disaster.
Many powerful people have disappeared, but her parents are still alive. In fact, they are relying on the country as their backing, and their fate is connected to them.
"You are not human, so you must have heard of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth. The spiritual energy dissipated rapidly, causing many powerful people to disappear."
"I know. I heard it from my parents."
Yin Tingjun broke off a steamed bun and ate it elegantly. "The decline of spiritual energy is inevitable. Great powers in ancient times predicted it long ago. This is a catastrophe of heaven and earth, and it cannot be changed by ordinary people. However, some people do not want to disappear. They even want to absorb the luck and power of the entire world and transcend the Three Realms. They have been planning this for a long time."
"This man plotted everywhere, setting up powerful formations, but he was eventually discovered and later eliminated by a group of powerful individuals. However, his soul escaped to the underworld and cannot be found. He also left a message that he would one day return, and no one would be able to stop him then."
"The gates of the underworld are closed like this. One can only enter, but not leave, to prevent the human world from suffering."
"I've been studying the art of medicine for a while now, and I know a bit about it. The above is all what I've read in some materials. Unexpectedly, I came across a strange incident later, and following the clues, I found a strange formation. After looking through the materials, I realized that this formation is very likely related to opening the gate to the underworld."
"When this matter is connected with the information in the document, it becomes very clear. I decided to destroy this formation, but was discovered and killed by someone."
Seeing Jian Yi and the others looking at him, they were obviously asking, "Then why are you in the Shura Realm?"
Yin Tingjun said, "I once came across a curse that said those cursed would enter the Shura Realm, never to be reborn. I learned this curse and became quite proficient in it. I completed the curse before my life ended, and that's when I came here."
Jian Yi was a little impressed. She didn't expect that this was another self-cursing person. The Shura world was really full of talented people. This kind of person deserved to go out and eat public food. He didn't eat much, so he would definitely succeed.
She was a little envious.
