Chapter 927 Children Are Not Allowed to Watch



It was already halfway through the third drum, and the night was quiet, but there was still a flickering candlelight on the west side of the Tongzhen Temple.

On the eaves, Xu Xian, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang crouched down and quietly moved to the top of the west hall. When they looked up, they saw two figures illuminated by the light on the window, and they seemed to be clinging to each other.

Seeing this scene, the fourteen-year-old Xu Xian became curious and couldn't help but stretch his head down.

But before he could see the situation in the room clearly, two big hands covered his face at the same time, one hand covering his eyes and the other hand covering his mouth, and pressed him back tightly.

"Click——"

Xu Xian fell down and sat on the roof, looking at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang in confusion.

Zhan Zhao glanced at the entangled figures in the window below, and couldn't help but glared at Bai Yutang, and said in a condensed voice: "Why did you bring him here!"

Bai Yutang looked depressed and whispered, "How could I have known that such a thing could happen in Tongzhen Temple..."

Zhan Zhao sighed, then coughed lightly, turned his head to look at Xu Xian, and was about to make up a lie to fool him, when he suddenly found that the person in the room below seemed to be startled by the noise of Xu Xian falling down, and actually reached out and pushed open the window.

Seeing this scene, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang quickly retreated to the roof.

The latter pinched his throat and whispered: "Meow~"

A lifelike cat's cry suddenly sounded, and then Bai Yuting crushed the tiles at hand, snapped his fingers, and used stones to hit the tiles to imitate the sound of a cat running across the roof.

“…It turned out to be a wild cat!”

The person in front of the window was fooled and immediately closed the window, blew out the candle and turned off the light.

Seeing this, Bai Yutang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and found that Xu Xian and Zhan Zhao were looking at him strangely.

Bai Yutang was surprised and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm a thief saint, so it's normal for me to know some tricks to climb up the roof, right?"

Zhan Zhao was slightly startled and couldn't help asking, "Thief Saint?"

Bai Yutang chuckled and whispered, "Master, you helped me get a name before. How is it? Is it more impressive than the Golden Rat?"

Zhan Zhao twitched his lips, then skipped the topic, turned his head to look at the window below, and said lightly: "So you can do this, next time I catch you, I will pay attention..."

“…”

The smile on Bai Yutang's face froze.

Xu Xian came over and whispered, "Brother Zhan, he pushed the window just now, didn't he? Did you see what he looked like?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and said in a low voice, "Yes, I saw it. It was the young Taoist priest Tan Yue from the temple."

Xu Xian asked curiously: "What about the other person?"

Zhan Zhao was speechless for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Yes...it's a woman."

Bai Yutang came back to his senses and smiled: "I didn't expect that there would be such a filthy place in the suburbs of Beijing. The Ziyang Temple in Lin'an Prefecture is indeed the most peaceful!"

As he said this, he winked at Xu Xian: "You said so, right, little brother Xu."

Xu Xian looked confused and had no idea what Bai Yutang was saying.

“Shut up!” Zhan Zhao glared at Bai Yutang, “You’ve led Brother Xu astray, be careful or the Taoist will hold you accountable!”

"……Too."

Bai Yutang nodded, and recalled the palm strike when they first met, and couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

After a little thought, he suddenly made a move, tapped Xu Xian twice like lightning, and then said with a smile: "That's all right!"

Zhan Zhao knew that he had sealed Xu Xian's acupoints, so he nodded and turned around again.

At this moment, Xu Xian blinked his eyes, looked at him in surprise and asked, "Brother Bai, why are you poking me?"

Bai Yutang was slightly startled, then his face was filled with surprise, and he couldn't help but click a few more times.

This time he was serious, carefully sensing the flow of his true energy, and found that Xu Xian's acupoints were as hard as iron. Even though his true energy was strong, he couldn't penetrate even a little bit...

“…What a monster!”

"What did your master teach you?!"

Bai Yuting looked at Xu Xian with horror.

At this moment, Zhan Zhao suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Shut up!"

After these words were spoken, the two finally stopped playing around and began to listen carefully to the movements below.

I only heard the worried voice of the woman in the room: "Although you and I have made this plan, I don't know if my sister will oppose it and whether the other party will agree or not."

The young Taoist priest named Tan Yue said nonchalantly: "Even if you don't agree, what can I do? When my master finishes this business and gets the reward, I will steal the silver, and we will leave this place and fly away. Isn't it wonderful?"

The woman was still worried and said, "If you can get away, it would be great, but I'm afraid..."

Taoist Tan Yue suddenly got angry and said, "You are afraid of this and that. Well, I will let you know what true fear is!"

At this point, Tan Yue changed the subject and sneered, "To tell you the truth, over the years, none of the women my master sent away have ever come back alive!"

"I have long suspected that he was not acting as a matchmaker for those important figures in the court, but was using this as an excuse to deceive and harm others, and practiced some evil magic such as taking yin to replenish yang."

"Otherwise, how could his cultivation level increase dramatically every time he sends someone away?"

After hearing Tan Yue's words, the woman's tone became obviously terrified. "Is this really true?"

The woman hesitated and said, "Then my sister..."

Tan Yue's tone changed, and she consoled him gently, "Your sister took the blame for you. When we live together in the future, at most we can set up a memorial tablet for your sister, worship her more, and burn some incense and paper money, that's all!"

At this point, the figures in the window were already entangled. Tan Yue coaxed in a low voice: "Okay, okay, I have my own plan for this matter. Don't worry too much. Let's take advantage of this beautiful scenery and go to Wushan together..."

As they spoke, the two figures got closer and closer, and it seemed that they were about to merge into one.

At this moment, a sword light came from the side, instantly broke through the window and flew into the room.

Taoist Tan Yue was startled for a moment, and before he could turn his head to look, he felt a cold sharp feeling on his neck.

The bright moonlight poured down from the sky, sprinkling on Zhan Zhao's handsome face in front of the window, and reflecting the Juque sword in his hand as clear as spring water.

Zhan Zhao broke in through the window, put the Juque sword in his hand on Tan Yue's neck, and said coldly: "Master Tan Yue, please repeat what you just said, so that Zhan can also know what true fear is!"

"Gudong..."

Looking at Zhan Zhao's stern face, Tan Yue couldn't help but swallow her saliva and looked at Zhan Zhao with fear.

"Why...why is it you?"

"Why are you here..."

Before he finished his words, two figures descended from the sky and landed lightly behind Zhan Zhao.

Bai Yutang let go of Xu Xian's collar, glanced at the beautiful woman next to him who was terrified, and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Zhan, interrogation is not your forte, so you should take this couple back and let the experts in Bao Gong's mansion teach them a lesson!"

"……ah?"

The beautiful woman fell to the ground, looking at him with a look of fear: "Bao... Lord Bao's mansion..."

Seeing this scene, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were slightly startled, and then they understood something.

Tan Yue's heart skipped a beat and she said hastily, "Yuxiang——"

Before he finished speaking, Bai Yutang took a step in front of him, and his fingers danced out a shadow, sealing his acupoints like lightning.

After Tan Yue stood there stiffly, Bai Yutang turned around and gave a gentle smile to the woman on the ground.

"Girl, don't be afraid, speak slowly..."

Looking at Bai Yutang's handsome face half illuminated by the moonlight, Yuxiang's fear gradually disappeared, and she hesitated and said, "You...you all know?"

Bai Yutang squatted down, lifted Yuxiang's chin with one finger, and then slowly moved closer until their noses were almost touching. Both of them felt each other's warm breath, then he stopped and whispered softly.

"Know what?"

Although the woman was beautiful, she was young after all, and had never seen a flower arrangement master as handsome as Bai Yutang.

In addition, the incident just happened suddenly and I was frightened. Right now I feel extremely insecure.

Therefore, Bai Yutang only had to use a little trick, and the woman was bewitched by his beauty trick, and she subconsciously murmured: "Master Xing Ji's plot to harm Lord Bao..."

"What?!"

Zhan Zhao's pupils suddenly shrank, and he couldn't help but look at Tan Yue beside him angrily.

Xu Xian suddenly understood and thought to himself, that's right. Tan Yue said that after his master finished this deal, he would steal the silver and run away with the woman. At that time, they only thought that this was referring to the murder of the woman in Tongzhen Temple, but they didn't expect that it was related to Bao Gong!

No wonder the woman became so panic-stricken and terrified when she heard Bai Yutang say "Bao Gong's Mansion".

Bai Yutang let go of his hand, supported himself on his knees and stood up, glancing at Tan Yue and chuckled, "There should be no need to hide this for your master now, right?"

“…” Tan Yue’s body froze in place, a look of despair on his face.

After a moment, Zhan Zhao, holding the Juque sword, looked coldly at Tan Yue and Yuxiang who were sitting beside the bed.

Beside him, Xu Xian followed Bai Yutang's advice and stared at Tan Yue silently, using his strong body to put psychological pressure on him.

Bai Yutang found a chair and sat in front of the two of them. He looked at them and said calmly, "Tell me what happened."

Tan Yue hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly, "Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to say. I just hope that after I confess, you can let Yuxiang and I go far away, and don't stop us..."

As soon as these words came out, Yuxiang's delicate body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but secretly glance at Bai Yutang's handsome face.

Zhan Zhao sneered, drew his sword, and said coldly: "At this point, you still want to bargain?"

Tan Yue's heart trembled, he gritted his teeth, and was ready to threaten with death, but after meeting Zhan Zhao's eyes full of murderous intent, the defense line in his heart, which was not very firm to begin with, collapsed instantly.

"…It's Master Pang."

Tan Yue lowered her head and said dejectedly, "Half a month ago, Grand Tutor Pang asked someone to go to his house and invite my master to murder Lord Bao."

"My master has a magic spell to nightmare demons, which has always been effective. If you want to harm someone, all you need to do is make a little man out of peach wood, write your name and age on it, put dirty blood in a bottle, and perform a ritual on the altar. In just seven days, the person will die..."

Master Pang...

Zhan Zhao suddenly realized something and immediately clenched his sword tightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "It turned out to be him!"
