The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 81 Maoshan Yellow Robe
Zhang Tianlu's current behavior has a distinct flavor of old age, talking nonsense and doing whatever he wants.

If it were two thousand years ago, Zhang Tianlu would have needed a legitimate reason to steal from others.

But after dying for two thousand years, he turned into a zombie.

He was completely liberated.

Anyone who dares to blame me can simply say: "After I turned into a zombie, I was in a daze, sometimes lucid, sometimes insane, unable to control my behavior. This is not my fault."

This left the monks of Longxiang Temple speechless.

Even if you can't win a fight, they're not afraid of you morally either, and they'll just say something like, "I'm all muddleheaded, what can you do to me?"
Besides, the abbot of Longxiang Temple is still in my hands.

The monks of Longxiang Temple could only watch helplessly as Zhang Tianlu snatched the relic and rode away on the Black Tiger Demon King, riding the Black Demon Cloud.

Inside Longxiang Temple, a disciple inquired about the high priest beside him.

"Master, he's too arrogant. Are we just going to let him get away with this?"

"Aren't we going to chase them? Aren't we going to chase them?"

"I'm furious!"

The high-ranking monk looked at the disciple beside him who was asking questions.

The high-ranking monk inwardly rolled his eyes to the heavens.

Chase?
Are you going to chase after them?
Can you beat Zhang Tianlu or can I beat Zhang Tianlu?

The abbot was arrested and beaten. It is said that Fahai of Daweilong Temple was slapped by Zhang Tianlu so hard that he couldn't get up. The Buddha-light dragon and the Dragon-Subduing Pestle behind him were confiscated.

Do you think you're more powerful than Fahai?

Zhang Tianlu originally only took three relics with him from Longxiang Temple.

If we don't chase him, he can only take three.

If we catch up...

Maybe he can take a few more with him.

Longxiang Temple had no choice but to accept this loss.

Of course, Zhang Tianlu couldn't let Longxiang Temple suffer the loss alone.

The rain and dew must be distributed evenly.

Each of the ten major Buddhist temples has its own stupa containing relics.

The system also assigned him the task of visiting all ten major Buddhist temples.

The mission is only complete when all the relics have been brought over.

Zhang Tianlu then had the black tiger demon king lead the way.

They visited each Buddhist temple in turn and made their names.

The next Buddhist temple is Guanyin Temple!
……

Zhang Tianlu's side frantically plundered the relics.

On the other side, inside the Hōjō-ji Temple,

People from Maoshan and Qingyuan Temple have already flown over overnight.

They were invited by the authorities to Fazhong Temple to verify Zhang Tianlu's claim about the "borrowing lifespan through decay and prosperity" method.

Let's see if it's really true.

If this is indeed true, then this matter has really blown up.

The entire interior of Fazhong Temple will be sealed off.

Inside Fazhong Temple, representatives from Maoshan, Qingyuan Temple, and the government met.

On the official side, a special task force dispatched by the provincial government was sent to investigate.

The leader was an old investigation team leader surnamed Chen.

There were also more than a dozen members of the special task force in the team.

There are men and women.

The members of the special task force greeted the Taoist priests of Maoshan and the masters of Qingyuan Temple.

"Everyone, thank you for flying over overnight."

The Maoshan sect sent two high-ranking Taoist priests in yellow robes as their leaders, along with eight Taoist priests in green robes.

On the other side of Qingyuan Temple, there were three senior monks and a dozen or so junior monks.

A slightly older-looking Taoist priest in a yellow robe from Maoshan returned the greeting: "Layman Chen, you are too kind. This matter is of great importance. Since we agreed, we should come. There is no need for us to go through the trouble."

The provincial official investigation team leader, surnamed Chen, was slightly surprised when the Taoist priest from Maoshan immediately recognized his surname.

Keep in mind, he had only greeted us and hadn't even introduced himself yet.

He didn't even tell these Taoist masters his surname. This yellow-robed Taoist master actually knew it right away; he was indeed a master.

Behind Captain Chen, some members of the task force were also shocked.

They used to handle mostly murder and homicide cases.

No matter how complex or perplexing the case may seem, it is ultimately committed by ordinary people.

This is the first time we've investigated a case with elements of fantasy and magic.

Among these team members, even those who had previously watched the live broadcast from Fenglei Mountain, where a group of high-ranking Buddhist monks battled Zhang Tianlu, were among those who had participated.

In fact, there are still some people who don't believe in these mysterious and esoteric things.

It's normal for them to have doubts because it's so far beyond their understanding.

But now, this Taoist priest in yellow robes immediately called out Captain Chen's surname.

Indeed, it's formidable.

This surprised them.

Captain Chen asked, "Taoist Master, I haven't introduced myself yet. How do you know my surname is Chen? Have we met before?"

The Taoist priest in the yellow robe said, "No, but mountain medicine, divination and fortune telling are the basic skills of my Taoist school. If I can't even calculate these things, I would be unworthy of this yellow robe."

The Taoist priest in the yellow robe: Please do not question the professionalism of Maoshan.

At its most glorious time, Maoshan was on par with Longhushan in terms of controlling the talismans of the three mountains.

Those who can wear yellow robes on Maoshan Mountain must have some skill.

Captain Chen nodded, then asked, "What is your name, Taoist priest?"

The Taoist in yellow robes said, "I am Qingfa, and this is my junior brother, Taoist Qingxuan."

The two masters from Qingyuan Temple also introduced themselves to each other.

After a brief introduction to the terms of address.

Captain Chen said, "Masters, let's skip the formalities and get down to business. Let's go to the Mahavira Hall."

Captain Chen led the masters from Maoshan and Qingyuan Temple to the Mahavira Hall.

On the way, he said, "After our officials took note of what the Ancestral Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain said, we immediately sealed off the entire Fazhong Temple, inside and out."

This matter is extremely sensitive, so the higher-ups are taking it very seriously. After Fazhong Temple was sealed off, the Mahavira Hall was also given extra attention. No monks from Fazhong Temple are allowed to approach the Mahavira Hall, just waiting for you to arrive.”

They were worried that the monks at Fazhong Temple would destroy the evidence.

So the task force arrived yesterday as soon as possible to protect the scene and put all the monks under unified management.

A cordon was set up outside the main hall, so that not even a fly could get in.

They even assigned someone to guard this place.

We guarantee that no one will come to disturb the scene at night.

The high priests from Maoshan and Qingyuan Temple nodded.

The authorities have done a very good job of protecting it.

After entering the main hall.

People from Maoshan and Qingyuan Temple conducted a detailed inspection of the interior of the Mahavira Hall.

Maoshan retrieved the positioning compass.

Use talismans to detect the magnetic field of this place.

Sure enough, they discovered something fishy going on inside the main hall.

Inside the magic compass in the hand of Taoist Master Qingfa of Maoshan, the magnetic needle spun wildly and erratically.

Master Qingfa said, "It seems that Master Zhang was right. There is indeed something fishy going on inside the Great Hall of Fazhong Temple. The Buddhist sect is a reputable and orthodox sect, inheriting the orthodox Buddhist teachings of the Great Thunder Temple in the Western Paradise."

The feng shui inside a normal Mahavira Hall is excellent, with a stable magnetic field. Since Buddhism and Taoism are interconnected, it is impossible for such a chaotic magnetic field to exist.

Fazhong Temple is one of the Ten Great Temples, and ranks high among them. It's impossible that they couldn't sense the chaotic magnetic field inside the Mahavira Hall.

The compass needle spinning erratically is no accident.

Master Qingfa walked to the statue of Vairocana Buddha in the main hall.

He looked up at the Buddha statue that was over ten meters tall in front of him.

There are three donation boxes below the law in front of the statue.

Master Qingfa stopped in front of the three donation boxes.

His gaze remained fixed on the three donation boxes, without moving them.

He said, "Captain Chen, open the three donation boxes and take a look."
