Catching Monsters

Chapter 280 Where is your Dao Heart Cultivation?

The next morning.

At the Manxianglou Inn, Jiang Yun led the way for Feng Yu and soon brought Feng Yu to the door of the private room on the third floor. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Ao Yu's voice soon came from inside the room: "Come in."

There were many purchased foods on Ao Yu's table at this time. It seemed that she was quite interested in these human foods.

While eating, she looked up at Jiang Yun and Feng Yu and said, "Are you here? Come in."

Feng Yu walked into the house with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "It seems that Lord Ao Yu likes these foods very much. If you like them, when you go back, I will send a few cooks to go with you and make such delicacies for you every day..."

Ao Yu shook his head: "No need, just send a few people and I will take them back. Sooner or later, they will become food for my father and brother."

"Let's get down to business. Eunuch Feng, how did Fang Jiuyou die?"

Feng Yu frowned slightly. As expected, the demons were demons and had no manners at all.

At least you should ask yourself and Jiang Yun to sit down before you start asking questions, right?

How could she and Jiang Yun be asked to stand? She sat in front of a table of delicious food and asked while eating.

Although he was unhappy, Feng Yu still forced a smile and replied, "Master Ao, I don't know..."

"Don't you know?" Ao Yu smiled, and seemed quite satisfied with the meal. Then he stood up and said, "Arrange the carriage. I'll take you two to a place."

Go somewhere?
Jiang Yun and Feng Yu couldn't help but look at each other.

But he still agreed.

Feng Yu's gorgeous carriage was downstairs, and soon, led by Ao Yu, the carriage left the city.

After leaving the city, the carriage traveled for about half an hour and arrived in front of the ruins of a dilapidated temple...

Jiang Yun tried his best to keep himself calm and not let his heartbeat change.

So that Ao Yu wouldn’t be able to hear any difference in my heartbeat.

Because this is where Fang Jiuyou died!

"Do you two know where this place is?" Ao Yu asked with a smile on his face.

"Hey, Captain Jiang, have you been here before?" Feng Yu looked at Jiang Yun with a puzzled look.

Jiang Yun shook his head: "Eunuch Feng, I am not from the capital, and I have only been in the capital for about half a year. I have never been here before."

"I usually accompany His Majesty and rarely leave the palace. This is my first time here." Feng Yu said, his eyes fell on Ao Yu: "Master Ao, what's wrong with this place?"

"I arrived in the capital several days in advance and searched everywhere." Ao Yu sniffed his nose and glanced at Jiang Yun: "I said, I have a good nose."

As she spoke, she walked to a lawn and waved her hand lightly. The green grass was lifted up and the soil underneath showed obvious signs of having been turned over.

Then, Ao Yu raised his hand and the mud slowly flew up.

Under the soil of the pit, there were traces of many monster bones.

These are the corpses of Fang Jiuyou and his men.

After Jiang Yun and the others died, Jiang Yun used the Samadhi True Fire to destroy their bodies and then buried them deep underground, and even covered them with a layer of grass.

Feeling seamless.

Unexpectedly, Ao Yu found it so easily.

"What is this?" Feng Yu's face changed slightly, and he asked Jiang Yun in shock: "Captain Jiang, could this be Fang Jiuyou's corpse?"

Jiang Yun couldn't help but complain in his heart, Eunuch Feng, your acting should be less exaggerated, be more natural.

Jiang Yun frowned, walked forward, touched the bones, and said, "It shouldn't be human bones."

After saying this, Jiang Yun's heart sank. What did Ao Yu mean?
She brought herself and Feng Yu here personally. Could it be that she already knew the truth?

If this is the case, the only option is for Eunuch Feng to kill her to prevent future troubles.

Ao Yu looked stern and said slowly, "Eunuch Feng, you have also practiced for many years. Look, how did these bones become like this?"

Feng Yu frowned and walked forward. After checking it carefully, he frowned.

Ao Yu reminded: "Taoist Samadhi True Fire!"

Ao Yu stared at the pile of bones and said in a deep voice: "The person who killed Fang Jiuyou is a Taoist priest from the capital. He can use Samadhi True Fire and kill Fang Jiuyou. His cultivation is probably at the level of a third-grade Heavenly Master."

Ao Yu's face was icy, and he said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Feng, the evidence is irrefutable. You, the Great Zhou Kingdom, will not protect this person, right?"

"what?"

Feng Yu was slightly stunned, opened his mouth, subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yun, then took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fang has come to the capital many times, and I have always received and taken care of him. He has long become my best friend."

"I didn't expect that it was killed by someone from the three major Taoist temples." Feng Yu gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Master Ao Yu, don't worry! As long as you can find out which Heavenly Master killed it, we, the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, will definitely support you in taking revenge!"

Feng Yu kept hinting to Ao Yu in his words and deeds that it was the Heavenly Master who killed him.

Later, Feng Yu also remembered that this kid Jiang Yun also had a Sanqing Temple.

He said in a deep voice: "Now, among the three major Taoist temples in the capital, only two have Heavenly Masters in charge, namely Baiyun Temple and Qingfeng Temple. According to Master Ao Yu, who did it?"

Ao Yu put his hands behind his back, looked at the bones in front of him, shook his head, stared deeply at Jiang Yun and said: "I don't know enough about the situation in your capital, Captain Jiang, I'm afraid you Jinyiwei will have to help." "Finally, Eunuch Feng, I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the capital. I know that the collusion between you humans is very serious."

"But Fang Jiuyou's status in the demon race is somewhat special. If you, the human court, dare to protect him after his death, the consequences will be serious."

Feng Yu spoke to comfort him, "Don't worry, Lord Ao Yu. This is a serious incident, and His Majesty is taking it very seriously. No one will dare to protect the real culprit."

"That's good." Ao Yu nodded slowly. The reason why she brought Feng Yu to see the evidence was to determine the scope of the real murderer.

In fact, before she entered the city, she had already found these corpses and discovered that the person who killed Fang Jiuyou could use Samadhi True Fire.

After she secretly inquired, she learned that there were four Taoist temples in the capital.

Baiyun Temple, Qingfeng Temple, Tianqing Temple, and Sanqing Temple.

The first three are Taoist temples with a long history of nearly a thousand years, including Baiyun Temple and Qingfeng Pavilion, and they are presided over by a Heavenly Master.

As for the Sanqing Temple, it is said that it has only been opened for a short time. The abbot's cultivation has not reached that of a Heavenly Master, and he serves as a centurion in the Jinyiwei.

Coincidentally, the person who came to greet her at that time was Jiang Yun.

That's why she suddenly lied to him last night, wanting to see if there was anything wrong with Jiang Yun.

However, she did not see any flaws in Jiang Yun, and with Jiang Yun's cultivation level, he could not kill Fang Jiuyou.

Thus, the suspicion was cleared.

But what confused her now was whether it was Lingguzi from Baiyun Temple who killed the person, or Qingyangzi from Tianqing Temple.

"Let's go to Baiyunguan first?" Jiang Yun asked.

"Yeah." Ao Yu nodded.

……

The days in Baiyun Temple are not easy nowadays. After they burned the plaque bestowed by His Majesty last time, the matter spread secretly.

The dignitaries were unwilling to come and donate money. Even if they wanted to pay homage to the Taoist master, they would go to the other two Taoist temples.

Baiyun Temple has always been regarded as the leader of the Taoist sect. In addition, with the Sixth Prince as its backer, the imperial court would give it a lot of money every year.

Plus the incense money from the dignitaries.

Life is quite nourishing.

But now, the income is basically gone, and the gold, silver and treasures in the Taoist temple were looted by Jiang Yun and his men.

The landlords are running out of food.

Many Taoists with low levels of cultivation were dismissed, and those with a little cultivation were sent to various places outside the capital to help people catch ghosts and monsters and earn money.

Ling Guzi had long since stopped caring about worldly affairs and had devoted himself to cultivation for many years. Now, he had no choice but to come out and personally handle the affairs of Baiyun Temple in order to stabilize people's hearts.

Secondly, after all, he is a third-rank heavenly master, and his connections from all sides have to give him some face.

Yesterday evening was the big day when the son of the Minister of Personnel got married. He spent three thousand taels of silver to invite this old Taoist priest to be the witness and say some blessings to the bride and groom.

The third-rank Heavenly Master personally attended the wedding to witness it, which was naturally a great honor.

The Minister of Personnel was very satisfied and even stated that if his old father passed away after a while, he would be invited to perform a prayer ceremony again.

Ling Guzi did not agree easily, mainly because the minister wanted to accept the price.

After all, he is a third-rank great celestial master. Even if he is performing a blessing ritual, the price will have to be raised.

It is indeed embarrassing to do such a thing, but there is no other way. There are so many mouths to feed in Baiyun Temple, and we have to pay for their food, drink, defecation and urination, and also buy rare treasures to help the disciples below practice.

It costs money everywhere.

Even Ling Guzi was considering whether to accept some high-ranking officials as disciples... If he charged 10,000 taels from each of them, he should be able to reap a lot.

Although no one dares to join Baiyun Temple easily, becoming a direct disciple of a third-grade great master has a different value.

The price of ten thousand taels is definitely worth it.

Even if the price doubles, there will still be plenty of people rushing to buy it.

But if you do this, you will really lose all your face.

After returning to Baiyun Temple, Ling Guzi returned to the quiet room. Not long after he sat down, a disciple suddenly knocked on the door.

"Enter."

The door slowly opened, and a disciple who was about thirty years old looked at Ling Guzi respectfully and said, "Uncle Master, that bastard Jiang Yun from the Jinyiwei is here again."

Ling Guzi frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense and insult others. Where is your Dao heart cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, the disciple nodded respectfully and said, "He brought a woman with him and claimed that he wanted to see Master Uncle."

"Hey." Ling Guzi slowly stood up, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Then let's meet."

Before leaving, Ling Guzi turned back to remind his disciples: "Lock the door of my room and hide all the money in the secret compartment underground."

Ever since he was robbed by the Jinyiwei last time, he dug a secret compartment in his quiet room to hide his money...
