Chapter 126 Blowing up the Taoist Temple
Chapter 126 Blowing up the Taoist Temple
Ye Qingyan looked around at the pilgrims and thought: If I drop a bomb at this moment, some innocent people will die in vain. It is better to wait for the right moment to take action.
Seeing Taoist Wu rushing towards them with great momentum, Ye Qingyan whispered, "Here comes the one looking for us to settle the score."
Leng Jiuyuan looked ahead, a murderous aura emanating from his entire body.
Taoist Priest Wu came to Ye Qingyan and said, "Donor, please stay."
Leng Jiuyuan's face was cold: "What's the matter?"
"Have you ever been to a Taoist temple?"
"That's right, but the little Taoist priest didn't let us in." Ye Qingyan said casually.
The Taoist priest's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Donor, if you took my things, please return them. Otherwise, you will never return."
There is no shortage of people who like to watch the show in any era. Some pilgrims gathered around when they saw the Taoist priest Wu arrive.
Ye Qingyan smiled and said, "Are your things the children locked in the iron cages?
You are so heartless that you stole the child to make the elixir of immortality."
Taoist Wu picked up his whisk and pointed at Ye Qingyan, "What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever used a child to refine an elixir?"
Ye Qingyan said in a cold voice: "You are a hypocritical Taoist priest. You even caught the children lost in Pingyang City and used them to make elixirs.
The underground secret room in the Taoist temple is where the children are imprisoned."
A middle-aged man said angrily, "What? Capturing children to make elixirs is so immoral.
You've captured all the children in Pingyang City. Do you still have any humanity?"
Another person said, "We thought he was a kind man, but it turns out he's a liar. I will never come to this Taoist temple again."
Taoist Wu's face was grim, and he wanted to kill Ye Qingyan directly. He began to argue: "There is no evidence, so stop framing me and ruining my reputation."
One person echoed: "That's right, Taoist Wu is a kind-hearted person, he would never do such a thing."
Ye Qingyan smiled evilly: "Go to the underground secret room and take a look. The truth will be revealed. Do you dare to go?"
There was only one thought in Master Wu's mind: the children had been taken away and there was nothing inside.
He said angrily: "Why would I be afraid? What if there are no children there?"
Ye Qingyan said, "It's up to you. What if we have children?"
Taoist Wu sneered, with a strange arc at the corner of his mouth, looking gloomy and cold, with a bloodthirsty and sinister look that made people shudder.
He vowed: "If there is, I am willing to accept the punishment."
"Okay!" Ye Qingyan's lips curled up, revealing a smile that gradually spread. Even her eyes were smiling, and she looked determined to win: "Let's go."
Taoist Priest Wu and several of his disciples walked in front, and Ye Qingyan followed behind.
The pilgrims who were eating melons also wanted to find out what was going on, so they followed the crowd forward.
After entering the Taoist temple, they came to a small door. Taoist Priest Wu pressed the button skillfully and the door opened.
He walked downstairs, and Ye Qingyan waved to him as he walked down the stairs.
The pilgrims who were eating melons also entered the secret passage.
At this time, the crying of a child was heard from the secret passage, and Taoist Wu was immediately stunned.
He quickly came to where the children were being held and saw three children in the room, still locked in cages.
His mind suddenly buzzed, and he thought: How could this be? The children had clearly all disappeared, so how could there still be three of them? Was I dazzled?
"Master Wu, there's a child locked in a cage. How do you explain that?"
The pilgrims were so angry that they cursed: "How can they do such a shameless thing? How can they do such a heinous thing?"
"That's right, kill him, kill him!" the crowd cheered.
Taoist Wu stared with a pair of dead fish eyes and said viciously: "You are so cruel. Now that the truth has been exposed, no one can leave here alive. Go to hell!"
After saying that, he walked towards the opposite wall where there was a red button.
Ye Qingyan quickly raised her pistol and shot directly at him.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Bullets pierced through Taoist Wu's head and body, and blood splattered everywhere.
There was only a thud, and Taoist Wu died before he could press the button.
Several Taoists shouted at Ye Qingyan, "You killed my master. We want to avenge him!"
After saying that, the four of them clenched their fists and rushed towards Ye Qingyan together.
Leng Jiuyuan waved his palm towards them, and a gust of cold wind blew, and the four Taoists all fell to the ground and never woke up again.
Ye Qingyan waved her hand again, and the children returned to the space.
"Let's go to the main hall." Ye Qingyan ordered.
All the pilgrims and Leng Jiuyuan arrived outside the hall.
The pilgrims thought of the scene of Taoist Wu falling to the ground, and ran down the mountain quickly, fearing that they would lose their lives if they were slow.
Ye Qingyan took out a bomb from the space and threw it directly at the Taoist temple.
There was a loud "bang" and the house collapsed. A thick smoke rose into the sky, and then a raging fire broke out.
Ye Qingyan teleported and arrived outside the Pingyang government office with Leng Jiuyuan.
There were more than a dozen children lying on the ground.
She took each child's pulse, confirmed that they were all fine, took out a small bottle, put it under the children's noses, and let them smell it.
The children on the ground slowly woke up and began to cry.
Two yamen runners heard the child crying and came out.
"Whose children are these?"
Leng Jiuyuan said, "I'm telling you, Magistrate Xue, that these children were stolen by the Taoist priest of Qingxin Temple to make the elixir of immortality. They have been rescued by the divine fortune teller Xiaoqi. I want you adults to send the children home."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
A yamen runner walked towards the lobby.
Magistrate Xue ordered people to beat drums and gongs to promote the event in the streets. For a while, the area outside the yamen was bustling with activity.
Some are happy, while others are worried. Those who have found their children are overjoyed; those who haven't found their children are depressed and continue to live in the pain of losing their children...
On this day, Ye Qingyan and Leng Jiuyuan brought An Yi, Bai Jinxin and others back to the capital.
Leng Jiuyuan went to the palace to report to the emperor, while Ye Qingyan brought Bai Jinxin to Nanny Qin's room.
"Mammy, there will be one more person in our yard from now on, Bai Jinxin."
"Hello, Ma'am!" Bai Jinxin bowed politely.
The moment Nanny Qin saw Bai Jinxin, she was stunned: "Jinxin, do you know Lin Susu?"
Bai Jinxin burst into tears: "She is my mother."
"Where's your mother?"
"He has passed away."
Nanny Qin's eyes were slightly red: "You are actually Susu's daughter, you should call me cousin.
Seeing that you look very similar to Susu, I guess you are related."
Bai Jinxin wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Mother once said that there was an aunt working in the palace. Could it be you?"
Nanny Qin nodded and asked, "Where is your father?"
Bai Jinxin started crying again: "My maternal grandparents were very well-off at that time, and my father was just a poor scholar, the son of an old friend of my maternal grandfather.
My mother often gave money to support my father. Later, they got married and I was born.
The next year, my father passed the imperial examination and ranked third. When he returned home, he said he wanted to divorce my mother and marry Yun Qingwan, the third daughter of Grand Tutor Yun, as his wife.
My mother couldn't accept it and tore up the divorce letter in anger.
My father thought I was a burden, so he left me to my mother."
Nanny Qin was filled with righteous indignation and said angrily, "This is raising an ungrateful person."
She looked at Ye Qingyan again: "Grand Tutor Yun's third daughter, Yun Wanqing, married the current Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War."
"What a scumbag! He abandoned his wife just to climb up the social ladder." Ye Qingyan said angrily.
