I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

Yao Bingshi was furious. She thought that the other party was a famous wizard after all, so how could he be so arrogant and rude?

"That is Chongguan of the Red Lotus Temple. Donor, don't bother with him. He has always been arrogant."

Seeing Yao Bingshi rolling up his sleeves as if he was going to beat someone up, Mingxin quickly pointed out the other party's identity and gave him some advice with a wry smile.

But he was actually quite puzzled in his heart. After all, Chongguan was arrogant, but it was really too strange for him to behave like this as soon as they met.

Red Lotus Temple?

Yao Bingshi may not know about other temples, but he definitely knows about Honglian Temple, which is the largest temple in Sang Kingdom!

She was not frightened, but felt very disappointed and even disillusioned.

.................

"That wizard keeps looking up. Is there anything interesting in the sky?"

The little girl didn't mean to be sarcastic, she just felt it was really strange.

But when she said this, Mingxin couldn't help laughing, and many monks around him also laughed softly.

Chongguan raised his neck and blushed. He said angrily, "You are so eloquent at such a young age. I wonder how much real ability you have."

"Hey, Master Tangtang, did you hear that the seal was broken again, so you came here to check it out?"

Not wanting the conflict between the two sides to escalate further, Mingxin deliberately changed the subject.

"No, no, I just heard from my boss when I was having snacks that something happened on the mountain, so I wanted to come over and see if I could help."

Tangtang looked at Mingxin curiously, and seeing that the little girl seemed to really know nothing, the latter immediately began to explain.

"There are countless legends about the two Bodhisattvas with hundreds of eyes and thousands of feet in the Sang Kingdom. But if you classify them one by one, you will find that most of the stories are related to instructing believers to seal the devil."

Mingxin's tone gradually became serious: "Sang Country is known as the Buddhist Country on Earth, but in reality it is also a place where demons are sealed."

"I see!"

Seeing the little girl's knowledgeable expression, Chongguan couldn't help but tease, "Little Mage has such a great reputation, but you don't even know this?"

"I don't know. No one has told Tangtang."

How could you be so confident?

Chongguan's mouth twitched, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"Ugh"

Suddenly, a wizard sighed and said, "Of all the existing seals, the Demon Mother's seal is the most important. The Red Lotus Temple is responsible for this seal. Why did they wait until there was nothing left to hide before making it public?"

Recently, demons have broken out of the seal one after another. Many monks went to the sealed place to check, and they found the remnants of the unique demonic energy of the Demon Mother at the scene.

Afterwards, everyone went to the Red Lotus Temple to inquire, and learned from a master that the seal of the Demon Mother had been broken a year ago.

..................

"Our temple did not conceal it intentionally!"

It was not that they were hiding it on purpose, but Honglian Temple only discovered it when they went to investigate the seal after being questioned.

The Demon Mother's seal was broken once, but an expert immediately repaired it and on the surface it looked like there was no problem!

The Red Lotus Temple couldn't risk going deeper into the investigation for no reason, right?

This matter......

"My master and several senior monks have already reached a conclusion on this matter. The Red Lotus Temple is definitely not concealing it on purpose."

The mage who had questioned Chongguan earlier could not help but frown, not expecting Mingxin to speak up for him. He asked, "Didn't you conceal it on purpose? Could it be that the seal of the Demon Mother was broken, and the Red Lotus Temple was totally unaware of it?"

Neither Mingxin nor Chongguan answered this question. What would it matter even if they told the truth?

How powerful must the master who tampered with the situation have to be to not let the master of the Red Lotus Temple notice it at all?

It is impossible for those who have been promoted to a higher level to do this; only those who have achieved immortality can do this.

But in Sang Country, there are no immortals!

Rather than believing that a sinister immortal suddenly appeared and secretly released the Demon Mother, everyone obviously prefers to believe that everything was caused by the negligence of the Red Lotus Temple.

Chapter 110 Strange changes

Seeing that almost everyone around him had a blaming look on their faces, Chongguan became furious.

He is the direct disciple of the master of the Red Lotus Temple, a genius who is expected to be promoted in the future. How could he have suffered such injustice?

"There is no more demonic energy on the mountain. You guys continue chatting while I go check out the surrounding villages and towns."

Chongguan said this coldly and turned away, which made many mages feel even more unhappy.

"When the seal was broken, a lot of demonic energy must have escaped. There's no telling what strange things might happen in the surrounding towns and villages. We really should investigate."

Mingxin smiled and invited the little girl, "Master, will you go with me?"

"kindness!"

After Tangtang, Mingxin and Yao Bingshi came down the mountain, the mages on the top of the mountain also went to the surrounding villages and towns to investigate.

"Master Mingxin, are you in the same group with Chongguan?"

After enduring for a long time, Yao Bingshi finally couldn't help but ask this question.

At first she thought Mingxin and Chongguan were definitely not a good match because one was friendly to Tangtang while the other looked down on everyone.

But later Mingxin repeatedly tried to smooth things over for Chongguan, and Yao Bingshi began to wonder if there was some personal relationship between the two.

"Donor, he and I are both Buddhist disciples, so what you said is not wrong."

Seeing Yao Bingshi staring at him, Mingxin laughed and admitted generously: "There are only two or three young Buddhists in Sang Country who have the hope of being promoted. They must have had some dealings with each other. I have a friendship with Chongguan, but it's not that deep."

"You're not that close friends, but why are you still speaking up for him?" Yao Bingshi said unhappily.

"Haha, some of what he said is not wrong, why doesn't Mingxin help?"

As expected of a monk who chants sutras every day, this monk is really good at talking.

Yao Bingshi couldn't argue with him, so he just got angry and kept silent.

..........................

"Master Mingxin, can you tell Tangtang about the seal of the Demon Mother? I saw that everyone seemed very nervous just now."

It's more than just nervousness, it's terribly scared.

"The Demon Mother is not an ordinary demon. She is a great demon. At her peak, she can rival the immortals."

There are no more Arhats in Sang Country. Of course, after Master Honglian borrowed the magic, he claimed that his magic power was no different from that of an Arhat.

But magic power is magic power, so what about the difference in realm?

If the Demon Mother really recovers all her powers, Mingxin doesn't think that Master Honglian will be her opponent.

Furthermore...

"There is an immortal who is secretly plotting something. Alas, this may be the doom of Buddhism."

Big devil?

Tangtang and I just dealt with a demon that came back from the dead!

Although she was not a practitioner herself, Yao Bingshi was still quite sensitive to this word, so she also pricked up her ears.

Ming Xin continued, "According to ancient records, whenever the Demon Mother travels, she is always accompanied by nine demons. This may be some secret method she practices, or it may simply be a preference, but the number 'nine' can now be used as an important reference."

"How many seals are broken now?" the little girl asked immediately.

"Not counting the Demon Mother's own seal, there are seven other seals that have been broken."

"Seventh Office, isn't this a matter of urgency?" Yao Bingshi exclaimed.

Seeing Mingxin nod with a wry smile, Yao Bingshi, who had already equated the demon Ma Hong with the Great Demon, could not help but frown: "At this time, why are you still worrying about the scattered demonic energy? Everyone, hurry up and take action to find the Demon Mother and seal her again!"

Uh.

"Donor, what you said makes sense."

Mingxin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "But I think it's better to do what I can first."

......................

The mages gathered here are not subordinate to each other, and no one has enough prestige to make clear division of labor, so duplication of work is inevitable.

Fortunately, there is strength in numbers. We can gather on the top of the mountain again in a few days to summarize the intelligence and sort out the clues...right?

"A few days ago you blamed me for not telling you, and now that I've told you you don't believe me."

"Why, are you not satisfied until Honglian Temple takes all the blame?"

Passing by the furious Chongguan, Mingxin asked in astonishment, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go solve the problem, will you?"

No matter what, Chongguan's work is reliable. Since he said he wanted to solve the problem, he must have discovered something.

But, if I follow him at this time, wouldn’t I offend all the mages on the top of the mountain?

Mingxin hesitated and didn't answer, but Tangtang immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, okay, let's solve the problem together!"

Chongguan paused, as if he had never expected the little girl to say that.

"You, forget it. I'll take care of you later and make sure you're fine."

Tangtang followed him. Although Yao Bingshi disliked Chongguan, he followed him without saying a word.

"Come on!"

Seeing the little girl waving at him, Mingxin smiled helplessly and followed her quickly.

"Who cares? I'm not afraid of them!"

"Master always said that one should have a clear conscience. Now, solving the problem of the evil spirit escaping is the most important thing."

....................

"After the evil spirit dissipated, many strange things happened in the surrounding villages and towns these days. But there is only one place where we really need to take action."

"Wait a minute," Ming Xin pressed his temple and said, "It's not that I don't believe in your ability. If I didn't, I wouldn't have followed you. But how did you..."

"nonsense!"

Chongguan interrupted Mingxin before he could finish his words: "Of course we should mobilize government officials to investigate, what else?"

Well, Master Honglian’s disciple can indeed get the government to give him this favor, I was presumptuous.

"Where are we going to solve the problem?" Tangtang asked.

"In the town ahead, a wealthy family's house has undergone a strange change."

Different from the arrogance he showed when he met Tangtang before, Chongguan is now very nice to the little girl.

"A strange change?"

"Well, when I was drawing water, a hand suddenly stretched out from the well and tried to pull me down. When I was sleeping, I could clearly hear footsteps even though no one was in the room. There were human figures on the wall. The entrance to the mansion looked like a big mouth for some reason."

Chongguan added: "No one has died yet, but I feel it will happen soon."

"..."

Mingxin suddenly felt something was wrong. Given Chongguan's personality, it was strange that he would return to the top of the mountain to exchange information, not to mention that he asked "Are you coming?" when he was going down the mountain.

Unless he has tried it alone and found that he cannot solve the problem, then he goes up the mountain to ask for help.

"Can it work with just the two of us and Master Tangtang?" Mingxin stopped Chongguan and asked seriously.

"I can get in and out safely on my own, what's your problem?"

Chapter 111 Driving Raw Piles

Halfway through the journey, Chongguan lifted his sleeves, revealing three copper rings on his arms.

He took one of them and handed it to Mingxin: "After all, you are the disciple of the abbot of Tongming Temple, but you don't even have a magic weapon. I will lend you one, and you can return it to me after you use it."

"Haha, I thought you were going to give it to me... Why are you only giving it to me? Where's the Sugar Mage?"
