The fire at Qinglan Temple has been put out by the soldiers, and many Taoist nuns have been captured one by one.
At this moment, Xu Zun and others were interrogating one of the Taoist nuns in the classroom of Qinglan Academy.
"...I really don't know. I'm just an ordinary disciple. I will carry out any orders given by the Taoist Master, but I don't know what's going on..."
The person being interrogated was an older Taoist nun. According to other people, this Taoist nun was of higher rank and had access to the deity of Qinglan Monastery.
"Where did those girls come from? What did you feed them?" Xu Zun asked, "Also, when did it start?"
"I don't know where it comes from. I think people from Chongtian Temple brought it back from all over the country!" Taoist nun replied, "Tao Zun asked us to give them a pill. After taking it, those children will be particularly obedient.
, let them do whatever they want...
"As for when it started," she recalled, "it was about four years ago, right?"
"So, you have known for a long time that those Taoist priests of Chongtian Temple are also subordinates of your temple master?" Xu Zun asked.
"We didn't know at first," the Taoist nun replied. "We didn't know until a few days ago when a large number of Taoist priests moved into the Moon Watching Tower."
"Where are those girls being sent to be trained as killers?" Xu Zun asked again, "Have any of them been successfully trained in the past four years?"
"Yes!" The Taoist nun nodded, "More than a dozen outstanding girls have been successfully trained, but we don't know where they were sent..."
Hearing this, Xu Zun and Shen Xinglian looked at each other, and both of them realized that this matter was not only of great importance, but also affected the safety of the saint!
You must know that Qinglan Temple is personally granted by the Queen Mother. The master of Qinglan Temple can send female officials to Xuanmiao City in the capital every year, and the Marquis of Changping also has the right to recommend drafts in the palace.
If those dozen well-trained assassins had entered the palace, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The matter was of great importance. Although Xu Zun had already sent someone to summon Li Yan, the governor of Tangzhou, but now it seemed that even if Li Yan came, he would definitely be caught blind!
Therefore, Xu Zun had an idea and wanted to send someone to Xuanmiao City immediately to inform Dali Temple and the Neiwei Mansion so that the palace would pay attention to it. He was afraid that something big would happen if it was too late.
However, Shen Xinglian put forward different opinions.
"Xu Zun," Shen Xinglian persuaded, "the case has not been clarified yet. It is not too late to send the letter after the trial is over!? You sent someone over in such a hurry. If the matter is unclear, I'm worried.
It will be counterproductive!”
"No," Xu Zun said decisively, "I'm worried that they had a big conspiracy, and now it has been exposed, which will be detrimental to the imperial power!"
"Xu Zun, listen to me..."
Shen Xinglian looked around, then pulled Xu Zun into the corner and whispered his biggest worry:
"Xu Zun, is there any other reason for this?" He lowered his voice and said cautiously, "Master Qinglan is highly appreciated by the Queen Mother. I suspect... things here are not as you and I imagined...
It’s all…that’s what it is!”
"Yeah!" Xu Zun nodded and said, "Xinglian, I understand what you mean. I have also thought about it before. If the Qinglan Temple Master cultivates good-looking and qualified girl killers in the temple, will it be in the temple?
When working for the Queen Mother, those girls are all used by the Queen Mother?"
"Yes, yes!" On such a cold day, Shen Xinglian was sweating profusely, and he was obviously extremely nervous. "If that's true, wouldn't we have just stung a hornet's nest?"
"Impossible," Xu Zun waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this matter absolutely cannot be the Queen Mother's order!"
"Ah?" Shen Xinglian was surprised, "Why?"
"The reason is very simple," Xu Zun said. "After I came to Shangyuan City, there was no resistance when I solved the case of the female corpse in monk clothes. But as soon as I wanted to investigate the case of the missing girl, I encountered many obstacles, including even Lu
Every bookstore was burned down!
"But the more this happened, the more I felt that this matter was unusual, so I teamed up with Lu Mingyue to continue the investigation, and after checking, finally... some people couldn't stand it anymore!
"In order to prevent us from continuing the investigation, they deliberately let Luo Yu show his feet at the bank and then killed Yu Yangzi.
"We then sent Wei Bei back to lead us to defeat Chongtian Temple and find the missing Lu Xiaofeng!
"In order to have a clear understanding of my situation, they also took great pains to arrange a spy for me, that girl from Yuanzhou, Ani!"
"This..." Shen Xinglian still couldn't understand, "What does this have to do with what we are worried about?"
"Listen to me," Xu Zun said, "What they mean is that as long as Lu Xiaofeng is found, Lu Mingyue will no longer insist on those missing girls.
"And Li Yan and I are bound to be involved in the Chongtian Temple case and have no time to investigate those missing girls.
"At the same time," Xu Zun said again, "they were also sure that Lu Xiaofeng would be placed in the Hou Mansion by Lu Mingyue, so they took the opportunity to drug Lu Xiaofeng every day to ensure that Lu Xiaofeng would not reveal the secret...
"I said this, do you understand?"
Shen Xinglian grinned, indicating that he was even more confused.
"Think about it," Xu Zun said, "If this matter is really related to the Queen Mother, and those female assassins were trained for the Queen Mother, then... can they afford to abandon such a large Chongtian Temple to attract attention?
"All we need is for the internal guards to come forward, give Li Yan or me a decree, arrange a random task for us, and transfer us away from Shangyuan City, and that's it."
"Oh..." Shen Xinglian thought carefully and then realized what Xu Zun meant.
"If my guess is correct," Xu Zun said, "the people trained in Chongtian Temple are all thugs, the gangsters who attacked the county government. They rob Taoist property everywhere, and at the same time they collect beautiful and qualified people.
girl, take her abducted to Qinglan Temple.
"And these girl killers trained in Qinglan Temple are their ultimate goal!"
"Tsk tsk..." After hearing Xu Zun's analysis, Shen Xinglian finally understood how urgent the situation was and said hurriedly, "In this case, I will send people to Xuanmiao City now! In case those girl killers are already with the Queen Mother and Long Live
, that would be troublesome!”
"Star Chain," Xu Zun expressed his biggest worry at this time, "think about it, if they abandon such a large Chongtian Temple, does it mean that... well..."
"Ah!?" Shen Xinglian was shocked, "You mean, there's more than just Chongtian Temple below them?"
"Go to the Xuan to defeat the aliens, and the gods will return to their origin." Xu Zun recalled and asked, "Xinglian, have you heard of these two sentences?"
"Wha...what is this?" Shen Xinglian shook his head, "I've never heard of it!"
"It's a bit like the slogans of a cult." Xu Zun said, "This was said by a brainwashed girl. It's strange. If you are just training assassins, there seems to be no need for them to chant these slogans, right?
"I suspect..." He frowned and said, "Qinglan Guan may not be the mastermind behind them. There may be a more evil and powerful force behind them..."
