Mu Xiaoqing's father was sprayed with blood in his face and took a few steps back in fright, thinking that it was some kind of harmful trick by Qingfengzi.
He didn't listen to Qingfengzi's words at all.
He was stunned for a few seconds, wiped his face, and sat on the ground, bursting into tears.
Perhaps inspired by this, the families of the other victims also sat on the ground, wailing and lamenting.
Mao Junjie opened his mouth and looked at Kui Kui for help.
He has always been someone who responds better to gentle persuasion than force, so he was at a loss for what to do.
Just as Kui Kui was about to speak, Qing Fengzi, the person involved, stepped forward first.
"Stop crying, all of you! Anyone who didn't know better would think someone in our temple had really died! You're all wailing like you're at a funeral. Don't you even want your families to be well? It's bad luck!"
“The slimming talisman you’re talking about is definitely not from my hand, but since you insist that this harmful talisman comes from the Temple of Wish-Fulfilling, as the abbot, it is my fault for not supervising it properly, and I will not sit idly by.”
Qingfengzi stood with his hands behind his back, head held high, and swept his gaze across the crowd with a stern look.
"I'll go with you to see those people who have been wronged, and I'll help you resolve their issues one by one!"
However, at this moment, he was dressed in rags, his face was covered in bruises, and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth. He was as disheveled as could be, yet he still tried to put on an air of otherworldly elegance.
Everyone was bewildered by his incongruous and comical appearance, and for a moment they could not tell whether Qingfengzi's words were true or false.
Mu Xiaoqing's father, however, regarded the olive branch extended by Qingfengzi as his last hope.
He stood up and said, "Let's go save Qingqing first, she's dying!"
“Okay,” Qingfengzi readily agreed.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoqing's father's brows relaxed slightly, but then he heard a woman's voice.
"Wait a moment."
Qingfengzi glanced back at Kui Kui, who had spoken, and asked in confusion, "Saving lives is of utmost urgency, what are you waiting for?"
Then, as if he had thought of something, he unconsciously raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as I am here, my word is my bond. Since I have agreed to your request, I will naturally not go back on my word, much less run away. Don't judge a gentleman by your own petty standards!"
Upon hearing this, Mao Junjie immediately flew into a rage, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to fight Qingfengzi.
His junior apprentice had only said three words, but Qingfengzi, like a chatterbox, kept rambling on and on, which annoyed him.
Kui Kui grabbed him and said to Qing Fengzi, "It's probably too late to deal with them one by one."
Qingfengzi thought to himself, these pilgrims come from all over the world, and even if he used the Shrinking Earth Technique, he couldn't bring their families along.
Then we can only rely on transportation. Even if we take a plane, it's not something that can be resolved in a short time.
He nodded slightly, but then heard Kui Kui explain, "You're seriously injured. Even if you manage to make it to your destination, you'll end up in the hospital. There won't be enough time to save someone."
Upon hearing this, Qingfengzi felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow to the chest, the taste of blood in his mouth became even stronger, and his body swayed involuntarily.
Kui Kui gestured for Lang Yue to help him sit down and rest, and continued to say to everyone, "There is one thing that Daoist Qingfeng is right about. Shangqing Temple and Youqiu Biying Temple will not sit idly by in this matter."
Mu Xiaoqing's father broke down instantly, covering his face and weeping, "Then what do you suggest we do? My daughter can't wait any longer, she really can't wait any longer..."
"Please tell me the victim's name, date of birth, and current address. I will then use my magic to save them."
Mu Xiaoqing's father opened his mouth, and without the slightest hesitation, immediately informed Kui Kui.
Kui Kui then took out a brush and ink mixed with cinnabar, realgar, and white atractylodes from his small bag and began to write on the yellow talisman paper.
Mu Xiaoqing's father originally thought that Kui Kui was writing information about his daughter, but it turned out to be a strange symbol that he couldn't stand.
Then Kui Kui collected the written yellow talismans and pasted them one by one inside the temple, on doors, windows, walls, and pillars.
Finally, she returned to the main hall, which was actually just a 30-square-meter room. With more than ten people standing in it, it felt rather crowded.
She lit three incense sticks in front of the portraits of the Three Pure Ones, stated her request, and then took out the memorial tablet of Hu Sannai from her bag, placed it on the windowsill, and prepared to offer incense.
Knowing that she had the ability to perform divination, Mao Junjie stood beside her and asked, "Are you asking to summon a spirit?"
Kui Kui nodded. "This is the fastest way. I will ask the immortals to take action and destroy the troublemakers. The person will naturally get better."
"Then what are you doing?" Mao Junjie pointed to the talismans she had pasted up.
"Catch them."
Mao Junjie paused for a second, then immediately understood Kui Kui's meaning and whispered in his ear, "You suspect that the person who sells talismans is still in the temple?"
"Youyou told me that her mother had obtained the talisman yesterday, but fortunately the ceremony hadn't been completed yet."
"This person always manages to appear when the incense is at its most abundant, yet he always manages to evade Qingfeng Daoren's notice. It's highly likely that he's the one who's in the darkest hour."
Mao Junjie crossed his arms and said dismissively, "Perhaps Qingfengzi is deaf and blind, otherwise this person is too bold."
Kui Kui caught a glimpse of Qingfengzi glaring at him out of the corner of his eye, and smiled, "Qingfeng Daoist's ears are perfectly fine, Uncle-Master, don't talk nonsense."
She then stopped smiling, placed the lit incense stick in the incense burner, and turned to Mao Junjie, saying, "After I invite the Fairy Queen, I would like to ask my uncle to go with me to check the temple separately. This temple is not big and cannot hide people."
Qingfengzi originally wanted to go along as well, since no one was more familiar with the Observatory of Granted Requests than him.
But Kui Kui's last words made him swallow his words again.
It's not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
Unfortunately, the person who spoke was completely unaware of their own ignorance.
He sighed and whispered to Langyue, "You'll go with them in a bit."
Langyue's hearing was not as sharp as Qingfengzi's, so she didn't know what Kuikui and Mao Junjie were talking about, but she naturally obeyed her master's every word.
Meanwhile, Kui Kui has already invited Hu San Nai.
