The backyard of Liquan Temple is also in chaos now.

Dozens of very fierce Taoist priests with sticks in their hands marched straight into the Zen rooms that were usually forbidden to pilgrims, asking for anything. Their shouting could be heard everywhere.

"You guys, raise your heads... What are you hiding? Take off your hats... Hey, you are from a girl's family, what kind of monk are you pretending to be?"

"Whose statue is this false god? It's yours. What evidence do you have? None? It's the property of the temple. It should be smashed!"

"These apocryphal books are also temple property. They were thrown out and burned... What, how dare you snatch things... Huh! Even these books were thrown out and burned."

"Who's there? Squat down with your hands on your head..."

If you listen carefully, you can hear some "bang bang scratch" sounds mixed in among these shouts.

Just when these Taoist priests were about to search the last few rooms in the backyard...

boom!

The door of a Zen room next to the courtyard wall was kicked open from the inside. A man wearing a gray monk's robe and a white cloth wrapped around his head rushed out of the door and ran quickly to the nearby courtyard wall. He was extremely agile.

Climb over the wall.

At this time, someone shouted loudly among the Taoist priests.

"Master Atu ran away, hurry up and chase him!"

The next moment, four or five Taoist priests immediately held their sticks high and rushed out to chase him.

"Old monk Huijing..."

When he saw the man in gray monk robes appearing, Kong Qing, who was standing in the middle of the courtyard, picked up the monk Huijing who had been beaten to a bruised face in front of the idlers behind him, and headed towards the leaving man.

The figure in monk's robe pointed from behind.

"You just swore to Pindao in front of everyone that Master Atu was definitely not here, and you couldn't make friends with him even if you wanted to. Now can you tell Pindao why Master Atu, who is definitely not here, showed up again?

Already?"

"you……"

Huijing tried her best to open her slit-like eyes and pointed at Kong Qing with a trembling finger.

"You actually framed..."

Snapped!

Before he could finish his words, Kong Qing rounded his arms and gave him a big mouth.

"What kind of arrogance is being planted? Everyone here can see clearly that Master Atu is indeed in your monastery. The facts are all there, but you actually plan to deny it with just one mouth. Do you really think that you monks can speak like a lotus flower?"

, can white also be said to be black?”

"That's right!"

Another woman's voice came from the crowd watching the excitement in the back.

"The Taoist priest is at least a stone's throw away from the house where the escaped monk is. Is this all a frame-up?"

"that is……"

Another woman echoed.

"These monks didn't even admit it when they were caught on the spot..."

Kong Qing glanced sideways and happened to see a few search foxes working hard to set the rhythm and blow the wind direction in the crowd. Under the activity of these navy foxes, the high-ranking officials who were watching the excitement were quickly led astray.

, all nodded.

"It makes sense. I think so too. This old monk looks honest, but in fact he is too dishonest..."

As a result, the public opinion at the scene became overwhelmingly condemning Monk Huijing for lying.

Listening to the words of these idle people around him, old monk Huijing just felt that he was unable to argue.

Obviously Master Atu had already left when these Taoist priests first came. Now that must be false. Why don’t these fools believe this fact?

Rub rub rub...

Several Taoist priests who chased him climbed back over the wall.

"Zhangyuan, Master Atu fled to the Ganquan Temple south of the intersection."

"snort!"

Kong Qing let go of Monk Huijing's hand, patted it, and said with a stern expression.

"He escaped in, and you just watched from the side?"

"I also want to go in and arrest people,"

The leading Taoist priest, Wang Min, said with a troubled expression.

"But the monk from Ganquan Temple stopped a certain person and said that the monk could not enter."

"hehe……"

Kong Qing sneered.

"We were stopped again. It seems that these monks want to join forces to make trouble for us, right? Lead the way, Pindao, and see how arrogant they are."

"yes!"

After Wang Min agreed, he began to lead Kong Qing to the back door of the temple next to him.

"No, let's go over there..."

As he said this, Kong Qing pointed at the courtyard wall where they jumped in just now.

"But what is your status as Commander..."

Wang Min asked hesitantly.

"...It's jumping up and down on the wall. If word spreads about it, it will damage your reputation."

"Jump over the wall?"

Kong Qing raised his hand, and the sapphire ring on his finger flashed with light.

"Vilya!"

There was a thunderous sound, and the wall next to Liquan Temple suddenly fell down, sending dust flying.

"We are not thieves who sneak in and pick the lock. Why don't we just jump over the wall and walk over openly?"

Seeing this young Taoist priest overturning the thick brick wall with just one move of his hand, the idlers behind him were stunned for a moment, and then burst into loud praises.

"The Taoist priest is so awesome..."

"Is this a spell?"

"He is handsome and has miraculous magic skills. The little Taoist priest is really a god..."

"..."

Listening to the compliments behind him, Kong Qing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept away the smoke and dust that had not yet dispersed, and then strode towards the collapsed wall, leaving a handsome look to those idle people.

's back.

"Wang Min, lead the way and let Pindao see if the monks at Ganquan Temple don't want to reason with Pindao either."

"yes!"

After Wang Min agreed, he immediately took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to guide.

"Headmaster, go this way..."

After all these people left, the abbot of Liquan Temple, Monk Huijing, looked around and saw withered flowers and plants and broken pines and cypresses in the temple, just like a typhoon passing through. He couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in his heart.

"Host!"

Several monks with some dirt on their bodies but some bruises on their faces appeared out of nowhere and spoke with sorrow on their faces.

"Those damn Taoist priests smashed all the Buddha statues, murals and other things in our temple. They also found the Buddhist scriptures and other things in the temple and burned them. What will we do next?

Let’s do it…”

"What? Say it again..."

Monk Huijing couldn't believe his ears and asked again.

"The Buddha statues, murals and other things in our temple have been smashed, and the Buddhist scriptures and other things in the temple have also been burned. In addition..."

The monk who spoke said with evasive eyes.

"Our warehouse was also robbed, a lot of gold and silver were lost, and some land deeds were also missing."

Monk Huijing was stunned immediately.

"The land deed is also missing?"

"Um!"

The monk opposite lowered his head, not daring to look at Monk Huijing's face, and whispered.

"Also, the pawnshop in our temple was also robbed, and many items sent from the pawnshop were missing."
