Fucheng.
 The night is dark and quiet.
 The people in the city were all asleep at this time.
The temple gate of Bailong Temple was awakened from the silence by a hurried knock on the door deep in the middle of the night.
“Abbot! Abbot! Is the abbot here?”
“My cavalry guard Wang Guang, with the handwriting of General Duwei, wants to ask the abbot to help General Duwei investigate a case!”
Amidst the rapid knocking on the door, the door of Bailong Temple opened, and there were several warrior monks with bronze bodies. After verifying the identity of the person who came, they took the cavalry guard to see the abbot of Bailong Temple.
Wang Guang originally thought that the abbot of Bailong Temple should be meditating in the Zen room at this time, or already resting in the side room. Unexpectedly, the leading monks did not take him to the Zen room of the temple, but went straight to the square inside the temple.
In front of the several-foot-tall golden Buddha statue.
The statue of Buddha has its eyes closed.
 Don’t look at the world.
“Abbott, the cavalry guard has been brought here.”
The warrior monk said respectfully to an old monk wearing Buddhist cassocks under the golden statue of Buddha, with his hands clasped together.
 “Wang Guang met the abbot.”
Wearing gleaming armor, the cavalry guard Wang Guang greeted politely the abbot of Bailong Temple who was sitting cross-legged at the feet of the Buddha statue.
Wang Guang looked at the closed-eyed Buddha statue in front of him and said with surprise: "Abbott, I heard that more than a month ago, the golden statue of Buddha in Bailong Temple appeared in front of people. On that day, many people came to Bailong Temple to offer incense.
Everyone saw it, which caused quite a stir. Later we heard General Duwei mention this, saying that a senior monk from Zhenguo Temple had left his body and used the statue to control the gods during the day..."
"I heard from General Duwei that the eminent monk from Zhenguo Temple has been in seclusion in the statue of Buddha. General Duwei said that when the eminent monk from Zhenguo Temple is willing to come out, the statue of Buddha will open its eyes.
…”
“That Buddha statue, is this the closed-eyed Buddha statue in front of you?”
 Amitabha.
The abbot of Bailong Temple chanted the Buddha's name, refused the monk's support, and stood up from the ground with a Zen staff in hand: "Donor Wang, you guessed it right, you are talking about this Buddha statue."
"Hey, cause and effect pays off. It's us junior brothers who have disappointed senior brother Huizhen. He would rather hide in the Buddha statue and close his eyes than see us junior brothers. He is too disappointed with the filth and evil in the world. He is too disappointed with today's world.
Bailong Temple is so disappointed.”
"In the past few years, Bailong Temple has made many big mistakes. Although those people have fallen into obedience, the karmic sins caused by Bailong Temple are still there. Junior Brother Huizhen has endured physical pain, cut off his own immeasurable merit, and replaced
We deal with disasters."
The cavalry guard Wang Guang showed respect after hearing the words of the abbot of Bailong Temple.
“This Master Huizhen is worthy of Wang’s admiration.”
As a cavalry guard of the captain's personal guard, how could he not know about the internal fighting in Bailong Temple? It was precisely because he understood the real reason behind the internal fighting that he admired Master Huizhen even more.
“I don’t know, Donor Wang said that General Duwei asked Lao Na to assist in investigating the case. What case was he trying to investigate?”
The abbot of Bailong Temple and the cavalry guard Wang Guang were also acquainted.
 When we went down to the Yinyi River before, this cavalry guard named Wang Guang also went down with us.
When it came to business, Wang Guang immediately said with a solemn expression: "Abbott, do you still remember the big stone cow that was originally placed in the square?"
“Ever since the big stone cow fell into the Yinyi River and disappeared, General Duwei has been looking for the whereabouts of this big stone cow. Finally, the emperor has paid off and we have found the whereabouts of this big stone cow!”
Wang Guang continued seriously: "The big stone cow is not in the Yinyi River. It seems to have entered the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains!"
“In the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there are no traces of human beings, only jackals, tigers, leopards and poisonous insects and poisonous miasma are rampant!”
"Abbott, do you still remember the Taoist priest who was responsible for controlling the Xiao Han Bao? Not long ago, he watched the starry sky and saw many souls piercing the night sky and falling towards the west corner of Shiwanda Mountain. So the Taoist priest and
General Duwei guessed that these people may have discovered the traces of the big stone cow, and all their souls left their bodies and went into Shiwanda Mountain to round up the big stone cow."
"As the passage is about to open, many folk experts and strangers, after getting the news, came from all over the world and gathered in Wuzhou Prefecture, all wanting to get a piece of the pie. These masters who can travel at night out of the body will definitely
He wanted to round up the big stone cow in advance and control the entrance to the passage in advance. Therefore, the captain wanted to ask the abbot to take action, and together with the Taoist Priest, his soul left the body, and jointly went to Shiwanda Mountain to find out whether the big stone cow was heavy.
Appearing in the human world?"
 After hearing Wang Guang’s words, the abbot of Bailong Temple immediately nodded and agreed, willing to join hands with the court, and together the soul would leave the body and enter the depths of Shiwan Mountain to search for traces of the big stone cow.
 …
 …
 Ugly late at night.
 The people of the city were awakened from their sleep by the sound of galloping horse hooves.
Before they could get up to see what was going on outside, the sound of horse hooves had already galloped away in the city.
Jin An had not yet fallen asleep at this time. He was getting familiar with the newly made magic weapon gourd. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves on the ground from the street outside the Taoist temple.
 It is late at night, and the sound of these rapid hooves galloping on the empty streets is especially loud.
Before Jin An could put down the gourd in his hand, he stood up and walked out of the house to check, bang, bang, bang!
There was a rapid knock on the door of Wu Zang Taoist Temple, and the voice of the captain.
The old Taoist priest was a light sleeper. He was woken up by a knock on the door late at night. While putting on his robe, he walked out of the wing and asked, "Little brother, who is knocking on the door in the middle of the night?"
The old Taoist priest came to the Jin'an wing next door and found that the door of Jin'an's room was open and Jin An was not there. He went to the sword-cutting wing to look for a sword and found that the door of the sword-cutting room was also open, but no one was there.
“Silly sheep, do you know where the little brother and the sharp sword have gone?”
 The old Taoist priest asked the goats in the sheep shed nearby.
Click, click, the goat was chewing carrots in its mouth and glanced sideways at the old Taoist priest. This lazy guy who ate from morning till night paid no attention to the old Taoist priest.
“This stupid sheep has become a spirit, and he actually learned to look at me sideways!”
 The old Taoist priest felt that he had been humiliated by a sheep, and his eyes and mouth were twisted with anger.
At this moment, there were footsteps coming from the Taoist temple in the quiet night. It was Jin An and Xiajian who went to open the door and came back. They also brought back a few people, including General Duwei, who had not been seen for several days, and several familiar people.
Face of the Cavalry Guard.
 The captain's eyes looked tired, as if he had stayed up late recently without getting a good rest, and his spirit was deeply tired.
When the old Taoist priest saw the captain coming to visit him late at night, his heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition, so he hurried to follow him.
“You guys keep an eye on the Taoist temple for the Taoist priests and don’t let the little thieves break into the Taoist temple. I have important matters to discuss with the Taoist priests of the Wu Zang Taoist Temple.”
After General Duwei gave the order to the cavalry guards, he, Jin'an, and the old Taoist priest sharpened their swords, walked into Jin'an's wing, and closed the doors and windows.
 General Duwei came to visit late at night. Something serious had indeed happened, and he had to visit the Wu Zang Taoist Temple to seek rescue.
It turns out that when the Taoist master from Jinque, Yujing, and the abbot of Bailong Temple teamed up with their souls to leave their bodies and go into the depths of Shiwan Mountain to search for traces of the big stone cow, the two souls still did not return to their shells.
General Duwei waited and waited, but he never waited for the two souls to return to their shells.
 In a blink of an eye, it’s time to be ugly.
 It will soon be time for the rooster to crow at dawn.
 It will be dawn in an hour and a half.
If the soul does not return to its shell in time before dawn, the soul of the Yujing Golden Tower master and the abbot of Bailong Temple will never come back.
General Duwei couldn't sit still, so he visited Jin'an late at night, hoping to ask Jin'an's soul to come out of his body. Follow the traces of the two souls to see why they haven't left their body until now.
After explaining the purpose of his visit, the captain said with a face of shame: "Actually, I didn't want to disturb you, Taoist Priest Jin'an at first. I already knew from Li Baihu that Taoist Jin'an killed a group of antique merchants disguised as foreigners outside the pass.
Thief, I wanted you, Taoist Jin An, to take some time to rest, and I didn’t want to trouble you, Taoist Jin An, too often."
 “Li Baihu is Li Que’s brother.”
 Li Que?
Jin An raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
 It turns out that Fatty Li’s real real name is Li Que.
Having said this, the captain looked longingly at Jin An, who was sitting opposite him, and said sincerely: "I am a martial artist with nothing but martial arts. I don't know anything about Taoism's soul leaving the body, so I can't personally look for the missing jade."
The Master Yuanshen of Jingjin Que and the Dharma Appearance of the Abbot of Bailong Temple were really overly prepared but unable to do anything. In the end, I had no choice but to shamelessly come to the Five Zang Taoist Temple to ask Taoist Master Jin'an for help."
