All the cultivators inside and outside Qingcheng Mountain gathered outside the Laojun Pavilion on the top of the mountain. Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at Lu Zhidao, the judge of the Underworld Investigation Department in front of them, and felt a little panicked.
These righteous gods in the underworld generally do not appear in the world of the living, and they have the least contact with cultivators and living beings. After all, these gods are in charge of the world after death, and even immortals would be scared when they see them.
"When did you come to Qingcheng Mountain?" Lu Zhidao asked Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen.
Instead, they answered all questions truthfully. After a round of questioning, Lu Zhidao said to Xu and Bai, "Don't leave Qingcheng Mountain for the next few days."
Xu Xian quickly asked Lu Zhidao, "May I ask, Lu Pan, what exactly happened?"
Lu Zhidao glanced at Xu Xian and said, "Don't ask. This is not something you should know."
Bai Suzhen said, "But we've been interrogated for so long, we must know something, right?"
Lu Zhidao glanced at Bai Suzhen and said, "It's nothing serious. There was a burglary in the underworld. A valuable treasure was stolen. The thief escaped from Qingcheng Mountain and entered the world of the living."
"The treasure of the underworld was stolen?" Xu and Bai looked at each other. What kind of treasure could there be in the underworld?
But Lu Zhidao had already gone to interrogate other immortal cultivators at this time, and Fahai happened to come over at this time. However, both the judge of the underworld and the Yin Shuai were quite respectful to Fahai, perhaps because of the rumor.
Seeing Fahai approaching, Xu Xian first saluted and called him "Senior Brother".
Fahai also clasped his hands together in greeting, and then stood side by side with Xu Bai. Bai Suzhen looked at Fahai and said, "I didn't expect that Zen Master Fahai's portraits were so good, especially the portraits of us women, which are so lifelike."
"Haha." Fahai smiled slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist, are you trying to say that my painting skills are good at depicting women?"
Bai Suzhen pursed her lips, then looked at Fahai and said, "There are rumors that the Heavenly Court wants to select Zen Master Fahai to be the Heavenly Judge?"
Fahai did not deny it, but nodded and said, "That is true, and both the Taoist and Buddhist sects must select several people to serve as Heavenly Judges."
This is why the people in the underworld respect Fahai so much. If Fahai really becomes a judge in heaven, he will hold great power and authority.
At this moment, Bai Suzhen's eyes turned and she asked, "Then do you know what happened in the underworld? What treasure was lost?"
Fahai hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, then shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."
"What? Do you think we are the ones who steal treasures?" Bai Suzhen asked unhappily.
Fahai nodded and said, "Not necessarily. After all, you have done this kind of thing before."
"Hahaha." Xu Xian laughed when he heard this, "You are talking about the theft of treasure from Prince Liang's Mansion, right? That was done by Xiaoqing."
Before Xu Xian could finish his words, Bai Suzhen pinched the soft flesh on his waist, and he cried out in pain.
"Forget it if you don't want to tell us. We don't really want to know anyway." Bai Suzhen rolled her eyes at Xu Xian and said lightly.
However, soon another seven beams of immortal light came from afar and soon flew into the Laojun Pavilion. When they landed on the platform outside the Laojun Pavilion, the immortal cultivators below couldn't help but gasp.
"Isn't that the Six Heavenly Guardian Gods of Luofeng? And the Five Mountains Fathers, why are they all here?" a cultivator exclaimed.
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen also looked solemn when they saw the Six Heavenly Masters of Luofeng and the Five Mountains Masters entering the Laojun Pavilion.
Fahai said at this moment: "It's not a big deal, actually. It's not that we can't talk about it, but the underworld doesn't want to make it public."
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked over, and Fahai continued, "Someone stole the soup base from the goddess Meng Po."
"A pot of soup base from the goddess Meng Po?" Xu Xian murmured, "Isn't that Meng Po soup?"
Fahai nodded and said, "Yes, it is Meng Po soup. Someone stole a pot of Meng Po soup base and brought it to the human world. Although I don't know what he is going to do with it, this is a big deal for the underworld."
"But Mengpo soup doesn't have any miraculous effects. Why did this person steal Mengpo soup?" Bai Suzhen asked curiously.
Fahai shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Xu Xian said, "Meng Po soup is for ghosts. It can make ghosts forget all their past lives and reincarnate. But Meng Po soup has no effect on people in the mortal world. It is really astonishing that they would risk their lives just to steal a pot of Meng Po soup base and bring it to the human world."
Regardless of what Xu Xian thought, after paying homage to Taishang Laojun, the immortals and gods in Laojun Pavilion began to discuss the matter.
Among those present is Ning Fengzi, the Grandfather of the Five Mountains. He is the mountain god of Qingcheng Mountain and should naturally be among them.
Next are the abbot of the Guchang Taoist Temple in Qingcheng Mountain, Wang Chang Zhenren, and the temple master Zhao Sheng Zhenren. Both of them are disciples of the Patriarch Zhang Daoling, and Qingcheng Mountain is their Taoist temple.
However, the Taoist temples and palaces in Qingcheng Mountain today are all newly built, as the original temples and palaces were destroyed during the catastrophe.
Then came the main gods of the underworld, the six guardian gods of Luofeng, the four great judges, and the ten underworld generals, all seated in the pavilion.
"Your Highnesses of the Six Heavens and the Four Judges, our soldiers from the underworld have surrounded Qingcheng Mountain. Not even a fly can escape." Black and White Impermanence began to report.
Zhong Kui, the judge of the Punishment Division, asked, "Did you find any useful clues?"
The Ten Yin Marshals shook their heads, and Niu Tou said, "We have already investigated all the immortals, cultivators, and mortals in Qingcheng Mountain, but have not yet found any clues."
At this moment, Master Qing of the Divine Realm of Zhou Jueyin Tiangong said, "This person was able to escape from the underworld by taking advantage of the blessed land of the cave. I think his cultivation must be quite high, at least above the level of a True Immortal. Those cultivators below the level of a True Immortal should not make things difficult for them. Let them go after questioning them."
