The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

Today, I also took a liking to the sword that Wang Jiuling was carrying from afar. I thought to myself that the Taoist looked extraordinary and must be a rich man, so I began to have designs on him.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jiuling was unharmed after smelling the sandalwood incense.

Upon hearing the child's words, Wang Jiuling immediately grasped the crux of the problem.

Fanseng.

He recalled the esoteric Buddhist texts he had found in the Zhongnan Mountains.

"What kind of old man is he?" Wang Jiuling grabbed the child's arm, probing with his inner energy to confirm that the child had no martial arts skills, and asked.

The child was so frightened by Wang Jiuling that he kept backing away.

"I...I forgot!"

"I just remember him being very old, with skin like tree bark, very old!"

Wang Jiuling asked him for a long time, and although he couldn't give a very detailed answer, he could give a general overview.

That image was clearly the same as the Patriarch Chongyang from Wang Jiuling's memory.

There were also children describing the clothes worn by those Tibetan monks, which were clearly not what Buddhist monks from the Central Plains should wear.

Could it be that the founder was related to people of Tantric Buddhism?

Was the figure he saw in the crowd just now a mistake, or...?

Cheng Ying, noticing Wang Jiuling's hesitation, guessed that he was looking for someone, but instead of asking further, she whispered:

"Brother Wang, since he says he's used this sandalwood incense to steal money from people multiple times these past two days, then someone must have reported it to the authorities..."

Cheng Ying's words hit the nail on the head.

Whether the child was lying or not can be found out by checking with the authorities. If it is true, they can inquire around the city.

When they arrived at the government office, the county magistrate was quite polite to Wang Jiuling.

They were very cooperative when it came to investigating the case.

"Yes! The day before yesterday! The day before yesterday, a merchant from another region said his money bag was stolen!"

"And yesterday too, yesterday too!"

The clerk flipped through the case file and gave it to the magistrate, who then handed it to Wang Jiuling.

This is clearly a case from the last two days, but judging from how well the case file has been kept hidden, it's obvious that if Wang Jiuling hadn't come, this case would probably never have been brought up again.

So it seems the child wasn't lying to Wang Jiuling.

However, the trip was not without its rewards.

"Oh, right, there's more!"

"The day before yesterday, two monks from the Western Regions came to the authorities, saying they had lost something important! Some money and a brocade box!"

The clerk then pulled out the case file.

This immediately caught Wang Jiuling's attention.

This further confirmed that the child was not lying. Wang Jiuling flipped through the file and saw that it recorded where to look for the two Tibetan monks after finding the valuables.

His eyes narrowed immediately.

"Yingmei, let's go here!"

After leaving the child with the government officials, Wang Jiuling and Cheng Ying headed towards the address the monk had left for them.

That was a residence in the south of the city.

Wang Jiuling and Cheng Ying arrived at the Liu residence.

Upon hearing that he was a master of the Quanzhen School, Master Liu personally came out to greet him.

This was a middle-aged man in his forties, chubby, with a smiling face, and very kind.

"Oh my! I never expected a Taoist master from the Quanzhen School to grace us with his presence! Please, please come in!"

As everyone entered the living room, Wang Jiuling discovered that there were still guests present, who were now taking their leave.

Judging from the man's words, he was thanking Master Liu for helping his family.

Wang Jiuling and Cheng Ying exchanged a glance.

"The magistrate said that this Master Liu is also a well-known philanthropist in the area, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

After seeing his guests off, Master Liu came over and bowed.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you both waiting!"

The three sat down, tea was served, and Wang Jiuling told Master Liu about his purpose.

"If Master Liu is aware of the situation, I would be most grateful if he could inform me."

Master Liu sized up Wang Jiuling, his expression unchanged, when suddenly he seemed to remember something.

"oops!"

"I suddenly remembered something important that I need to take care of. Perhaps you could wait a moment, Daoist Master? I'll be right there!"

Wang Jiuling nodded. "Please come, Master Liu!"

Watching Master Liu walk away, Wang Jiuling frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Just as we were drinking tea, a little girl with a topknot ran out from behind us.

"You're my dad's guests too!"

The little girl, about seven or eight years old, skipped and hopped over.

Cheng Ying stood up and patted her head. "What's your name?"

The little girl looked at Cheng Ying and spoke with a smile.

"My name is Liu Qingwan!"

"That's strange. Two big monks came a couple of days ago, and now a Taoist priest has come."

Liu Qingwan's unintentional remark, however, caught the eye of Wang Jiuling and Cheng Ying.

"Little girl, what's the story behind the big monk you mentioned?"

Liu Qingwan blinked and then recounted what had happened.

"I overheard my dad and mom talking!"

"My deceased grandfather was once saved by a monk from the Western Regions."

"A couple of days ago, two senior monks came, saying they were disciples of that monk from the Western Regions, and my father let them stay!"

My father always said, "A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude in return!"

Wang Jiuling and Cheng Ying exchanged a glance.

...

backyard.

"Is the wealthy man definitely a Taoist priest?"

The two Tibetan monks looked worried, and Master Liu nodded. "They've clearly come to see you two masters. I didn't know whether they meant well or bad, so I didn't reveal that you were here!"

The two Tibetan monks looked at each other.

"Why would someone from the Quanzhen Sect be looking for us? We don't know them at all!"

"Master once instructed that if our group encounters any members of the Quanzhen School or those who favor Milarepa, we must leave immediately!"

"But the datura incense has not yet been found..."

"Let's avoid him for now!"

After saying that, the two went out the door, wanting to leave through the back door as soon as possible.

At this moment, Wang Jiuling and Cheng Ying stood gracefully on the rooftop.

Upon hearing the girl's words, Wang Jiuling immediately guessed that Master Liu was probably tipping them off later.

In this urgent situation, Wang Jiuling had no choice but to barge in. He promised to apologize if he had offended anyone.

Sure enough, two Tibetan monks were spotted trying to leave.

Wang Jiuling and Cheng Ying fell from the roof, startling Master Liu and the two Tibetan monks.

"You? What's wrong?"

When Master Liu saw Wang Jiuling arrive, he panicked.

Wang Jiuling cupped his hands in apology. "Master Liu, I had no choice but to trespass here. I will personally apologize later."

But you two, please wait a moment, you cannot leave!

The two Tibetan monks exchanged a glance, then turned and ran.

It only took two steps to reach the back door.
