Quickly wear a life of peace

Chapter 56: Liao Zhai White Lotus 7

The man's face was filled with anxiety and tension, and he asked hurriedly, "Did the Taoist see any clues?"

The young Taoist priest slowly shook his head and softly told the man that he had not noticed anything unusual yet.

However, he said he would return the headband in question to its original place and keep a close eye on whether anyone else approached the area and tried to handle it.

At the same time, the young Taoist priest also suggested that the man temporarily go to a Taoist temple outside the city to rest to ensure his safety.

The young Taoist's words revealed a firm yet gentle strength, which made the man feel a little relieved.

The man's originally frowned brows gradually relaxed. He looked at the young Taoist priest with gratitude, then followed the young Taoist priest's advice and went to the Taoist temple outside the city.

The young Taoist priest quietly and carefully put the headband back to its original position and cast a magic seal on it.

Then, he led the man to the Taoist temple and entrusted his land to the care of his senior brothers in the temple.

Bai Lian was watching all these scenes quietly from behind. She couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart that this little Taoist priest was a person with a kind and compassionate heart and a thorough consideration!

After the young Taoist priest properly settled the man, he returned to the city without any delay.

He once again sneaked into the man's residence without being noticed, hid quietly in the darkness, and waited attentively for the person hiding behind the scenes to show up.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, when it was completely dark, a slight noise was heard outside the door.

The young Taoist priest opened his eyes alertly and saw a dark shadow sneaking into the house.

The black shadow went straight towards the headband, however, the moment he touched the headband, the young Taoist priest immediately made a move. A ray of light flashed, and the man in black was fixed in place.

"Who are you? Why did you steal this headband?" The young Taoist priest walked forward and asked sternly.

The man in black's eyes flickered and his mouth was tightly closed without saying a word.

The young Taoist priest couldn't help but frown when he saw this situation. It would be great if he had a mantra talisman now, but unfortunately this kind of talisman had long been lost. This was really a troublesome situation!

At this moment, Bai Lian noticed the young Taoist's predicament. She took the initiative to show up, walked to the front and asked the young Taoist: "Master, this person refuses to speak, what should we do?"

For the young Taoist priest, the appearance of the white lotus was just a change from an invisible state to a visible form, and there was nothing special about it.

But in the eyes of the man in black, the appearance of the white lotus had a completely different effect.

He stared at Bai Lian in horror, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Then, the man in black let out a shrill scream, which was filled with endless fear and despair. At the same time, he kept shouting for help, trying desperately to break free from this terrible scene and escape.

Unfortunately, the man in black had been immobilized by the Taoist priest's magic and could not move at all.

Seeing this, Bai Lian quickly cast a spell and set up a barrier to prevent the black-clothed man's shouting from spreading and causing other unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that Bai Lian was indeed extraordinary, the young Taoist priest put away his previous contempt and told her frankly: "Young lady, I am not good at interrogation, and I will not force him. Now we are at a stalemate and cannot find the next clue. I am afraid that this effort will be in vain and will cause more trouble."

Before he finished speaking, the man suddenly shouted loudly: "Master, save my life! Master, I am willing to confess the truth, please forgive me! I will tell you everything I know!" His voice was extremely terrified, as if he had suffered a huge fright.

Bai Lian could not help but be extremely shocked. Just now this person was still showing a fearless and arrogant attitude. How could his attitude change so drastically in an instant? This sudden change was beyond her expectations.

A glimmer of light flashed in the young Taoist's eyes. He raised his hand slightly, signaling the man in black to be patient, and gently advised: "Don't be anxious, and tell me the whole story in detail."

The man in black was breathing rapidly and his speech became stammering: "Because...Because he refused to lend me money! I was so angry that I came up with this idea to scare him. I beg you two to show mercy and let me live. I will never dare to do it again!"

The young Taoist priest and Bai Lian looked at each other, and both felt helpless.

I originally thought that the case involved a wide range of people, or that there was some irreconcilable hatred, but who would have thought that it was just a dispute caused by money.

The young Taoist priest released his magic, and the man in black collapsed to the ground. "Where did you get this harmful thing?" the young Taoist priest said calmly.

The man in black huddled up nervously, his eyes revealing a hint of fear and regret.

"I had no money and nowhere to go, so I had a crooked idea. I heard that there were treasures hidden in the graves of wealthy families, so I went to dig a grave.

The ruby ​​was found on the corpse. I have heard some rumors that this kind of thing is evil and that too much contact will harm the body, but I was blinded by hatred at the time, so..."

The man in black's voice was trembling, his face was pale, there were a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, and his body was shaking involuntarily.

The young Taoist sighed, "I thought I could use this to find out who was behind this, but it seems I was overthinking it."

Bai Lian comforted him, "It's better to be cautious. At least we know the truth. Besides, if there really is a conspiracy, we can only be cautious to avoid falling into the trap!"

The young Taoist nodded. "Yes, this matter has come to an end. But this ruby ​​is an ominous thing and cannot be circulated among the people. Otherwise, who knows how many troubles will arise."

"Then I wonder how the director can deal with it?" Bai Lian asked curiously.

The young Taoist thought for a moment and said, "My senior brother is good at removing bad luck, so we can let him handle it."

It was late at night, and the young Taoist priest rushed back to the temple and told him the truth. The man was shocked at first, but then gradually calmed down.

The young Taoist looked at him and said softly, "After daybreak, you can go back without worry." The man nodded in thanks, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

On the second day, the morning sun shone on the mountains, and the young Taoist priest sent the man down the mountain with a relaxed mood.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, the young Taoist said goodbye to the man and went to the teahouse where he had agreed to meet Bai Lian.

When he arrived, he saw Bai Lian already waiting there, her eyes revealing an eager desire for Taoism.

The young Taoist priest approached Bai Lian with a smile, and Bai Lian could not wait to express her wish to become his disciple and learn orthodox Taoism.

This is not something that can be achieved with just knowledge. Without guidance and practice, everything is just empty talk.
