Catching Monsters

Chapter 166: A Strong Medicine
Although the suction force targeting the spiritual consciousness is relatively gentle, it is difficult to resist.

In an instant, Jiang Yun closed his eyes and his consciousness entered the black token.

Then the scene around him suddenly changed, and his consciousness came into a void of darkness.

In the center of this dark place, a blazing bonfire was burning.

Surrounding the campfire are eighteen tall stone statues made of black rocks.

At this time, Jiang Yun was inside a stone statue.

What is this?
Jiang Yun frowned slightly and looked at the other seventeen stone statues.

These stone statues have different appearances and hideous faces, just like the masks worn by the bronze pillars before.

Finally, Jiang Yun's gaze fell on the stone statue on the left and stared at it for several seconds.

Suddenly, a red light burst out from the eyes of the stone statue, and the statue "woke up".

After he opened his eyes, he slowly turned his head towards Jiang Yun and asked, "Tongzhu, what do you want to call me for?"

"I heard that you went to the capital of Great Zhou recently?"

This person's voice is hoarse and his original voice cannot be heard.

I woke him up myself? Staring at his statue was like calling him?
Seeing that Tongzhu didn't respond, the other party was silent for a moment, then slowly asked: "Did you kill Tongzhu?"

Jiang Yun was slightly startled. The other party's eyes glowed red, as if he was not angry at all about Tongzhu's death.

Instead, he said, "I am the Iron Tree Hell."

"According to the rules of our Mirror of Evil, if you kill the Bronze Pillar and obtain the Bronze Pillar Order, you will be the new Bronze Pillar Hell."

Tie Shu looked at Jiang Yun with a bit of fear in his eyes.

Given the strength of the previous Tongzhu, there were not many people in the capital who could kill him, unless they were great scholars, great masters, or powerful people at the third level of the Buddhist arhat realm...

In other words, the new bronze pillar is extremely powerful.

Tie Shu was silent for a moment, then said to Jiang Yun: "Of course, I am not interested in your identity either. We in the Niejingtai have always kept our identities to each other."

"But I will be coming to the capital soon to take care of some things. When the time comes, I will ask for your help."

Jiang Yun was silent for a moment, staring at the other party. He didn't know what the other party's purpose was, and he didn't dare to reveal his identity.

What if what he said before was just to make me let down my guard?
Jiang Yun frowned. The other party wanted to see him. Was it to avenge Tongzhu, or...?
Thinking about this, Jiang Yun simply replied: "We'll talk about it then."

After saying this, he took a deep breath and tried to withdraw his consciousness from the stone statue.

Soon, the red light in the eyes of the stone statue where he was gradually disappeared.

Jiang Yun also returned to the courtyard where he lived.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the token in his hand. Was this thing considered a 'communication tool' within the Evil Mirror?
Whoever kills a member of Nie Jingtai will automatically become the next member of Nie Jingtai.

Jiang Yun raised his eyebrows slightly. This rule was quite strange.

At the same time, after Jiang Yun left, the stone statue of the Iron Tree Hell did not leave.

Instead, it awakened a stone statue opposite.

"Mortar, the bronze pillar is dead." Iron Tree Hell said coldly.

After the Mortar Hell opposite was awakened, upon hearing the news, he turned his head and looked at the stone statue in the Copper Pillar Hell: "He ran to the capital to spread the disease, which is a way to die."

Although the voice was hoarse, the sound of the mortar was somewhat gentle, and it could be heard that it was a woman.

Tieshu said in a deep voice: "The new bronze pillar has appeared just now, but he didn't say much and seemed a little cold. He didn't ask a lot of questions like he did when we first joined the Evil Mirror Platform."

Chongju said in a deep voice: "Tongzhu is quite powerful. Unless he encounters a third-grade abnormal person, he will be able to escape."

"There are only a few people in the capital who can kill him."

At this point, Chongju couldn't help but look at the stone statue in the Copper Pillar Hell and said in a deep voice, "It looks like another great figure has come to our Niejingtai."

Tie Shu was silent for a while, then said, "Chongju, I remember you are in the capital, right? I will come to the capital to do some business in a while..."

Chongju shook his head slowly: "I have no interest in this."

Tieshu: "I mean, can you help me find out who this new bronze pillar is?"

"Who killed the previous bronze pillar?"

Chongju was silent for a moment: "We at Niejingtai don't allow people to ask about other people's identities in private, so forget it."

……

The next morning, Baiyun Temple was bustling with activity. The new statue of the Taoist deity was finally built overnight.

The towering statue was installed in the main hall of Baiyun Temple with the help of many craftsmen and Taoist priests of Baiyun Temple.

Master Bai Chen looked at the brand new statue of the Taoist deity. Although it was new, it was far inferior to the previous statue of the Taoist deity.

She sighed and decided that in three years, at the next Taoist conference, she would definitely compete with Tianqing Temple again.

At that time, she will bring back the statue of Tao Zun.

Although Uncle Lingguzi did not make any statement about her losing the Taoist statue, she knew in her heart that how could Uncle Lingguzi not have an opinion on this?
But now that things have come to this, it’s hard to say anything more.

Thinking of Jiang Yun, the instigator of all this, Master Bai Chen couldn't help but clench his fists.

It’s just that Master Bai Chen always felt that there was something strange in the way his disciples looked at him today.

At first she thought it was because she lost the statue of Daozun.

But when I think about it carefully, something is wrong.

At this moment, Gui Yuanzi, who had just finished his work, was about to walk past her, but Master Bai Chen raised his hand to stop him: "Why are you so restless today?"

"Master." Gui Yuanzi heard what Master Bai Chen said with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "No, it's okay." "Are you hiding something from me?" Master Bai Chen stared at him with sharp eyes.

"Uh." Gui Yuanzi lowered his head slightly after hearing this and said, "Master, this is not the place to talk. How about we talk somewhere else?"

There are many craftsmen and Taoist disciples here.

Upon hearing this, Master Baichen and Guiyuanzi walked out of the hall and came to a slightly remote place. Guiyuanzi then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Master, I have heard some rumors recently... Of course, they cannot be taken seriously..."

Master Baichen put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "Tell me about it."

Gui Yuanzi still had some hesitation on his face and didn't dare to speak directly.

"Is it related to me?" asked Master Bai Chen.

"Yes." Gui Yuanzi said in a low voice: "Recently, someone in the capital spread the news that our Baiyun Temple had offended the Jinyiwei and many people were arrested."

Master Bai Chen said calmly, "When that thief Jiang Yun sent people to arrest him, many people passing by saw it. What's so strange about this?"

Gui Yuanzi took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "But these rumors are getting more and more outrageous..."

"It is said that Master broke into Commander Li Wangxin's residence in the middle of the night in order to rescue us..."

Master Baichen said slowly: "I did go there at the beginning..."

Having said this, Master Bai Chen paused, his eyes became a little colder, he realized something, and then a nameless anger rose in his eyes.

"Master, please don't be angry yet, there is still..."

"There is another saying..."

Gui Yuanzi hung his head. Seeing Master Bai Chen signaling him to continue, he mustered up the courage and said, "There are also rumors that you and Xuan Daozi of Tianqing Temple have been in peace for many years..."

"The fact that Baiyun Temple lost to Tianqing Temple this time was intentional. It was you, Master, who intentionally gave the statue of Baiyun Temple to your lover..."

"Otherwise, how could our Baiyun Temple lose to Tianqing Temple..."

After saying this, Gui Yuanzi didn't dare to continue because there were still all kinds of rumors.

He picked out two that sounded better.

There are even more bizarre versions.

Master Bai Chen's eyes were about to spit fire, and he asked through gritted teeth, "Who told you that?"

"Disciple checked..."

"The source was originally a tavern near Changxin Temple."

"This Changxin Temple has a close relationship with Jiang Yun..."

"I'm afraid this was done by Jiang Yun."

Master Bai Chen had been deliberately trying to kill Jiang Yun. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She roughly guessed Jiang Yun's plan.

Spreading gossip that can’t be spread elsewhere?

Why near Changxin Temple?

Jiang Yun probably wanted to run over and start a fire to burn down Changxin Temple.

She really wanted to do so!
But Changxin Temple is a Buddhist place after all. If I really want to burn it down, I will offend the five major Buddhist temples.

Those bald donkeys tried every possible way to suppress Taoism.

If they were really given this excuse, the Buddhist community would probably be extremely happy and use it as an excuse to make a big fuss.

Master Bai Chen took a deep breath, closed his eyes and said, "It's just rumors!"

"Ignore it."

……

At the same time, the sun was shining brightly, and Jiang Yun was lying in the small courtyard where he worked in the East Zhenfusi Yamen.

He specially had a recliner made for him, and lying on it to bask in the sun was quite comfortable and relaxing.

But there has been no news from Baiyun Temple.

This makes me a little puzzled.

Originally according to his idea, after hearing those words, Master Bai Chen would probably have lost control of his temper.

In order to prevent the immortal from getting angry and killing him, he came to the East Zhenfusi Yamen early in the morning.

No matter how crazy Master Bai Chen is, he would not rush to the East Zhenfu Division to confront an assassin under the Jinyiwei.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the yard. It was Qida.

"General Jiang, there is still no movement at Changxin Temple." Qi Da shook his head.

Early this morning, Qi Da took his slightly injured brother and followed Jiang Yun's instructions to guard near Changxin Temple.

If anyone is causing trouble, they will be taken down immediately.

Jiang Yun touched the back of his head. Has Master Bai Chen changed his personality?
He said in a deep voice: "Let the brothers below continue to watch."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "Forget it, let everyone gather at the entrance of Baiyun Temple."

"General Jiang, what are we going to do?"

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice: "We need to give Master Bai Chen some strong medicine."
