The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Chapter 515 Obsession

The master of the temple spat and said, "How disrespectful! Am I such a superficial person? When you are looking for a handsome man, remember to find one with a clean background."

Hongyu went out trying not to laugh. Chu Yunxi couldn't suppress the smile on her face either, and said, "Yes, yes, I promise that my background is clean. Otherwise, it would be unfair to the master of the temple to give him new clothes and whisk."

The master of the temple also smiled, turned around in front of Chu Yunxi, and asked, "Does it look good? I made several sets of it specially before I left."

No matter how new it is, it is still a Taoist robe, but the waist is a little tighter, showing the figure a little more. However, Chu Yunxi would not say this. She took the temple master's arm and smiled, "It looks good. The temple master looks good in anything he wears. The most important thing is that he looks good."

The master scratched her nose and smiled happily, "Why else would I like you? Your little mouth is as sweet as honey every day. Okay, let's get down to business. How did he," she pointed at Xiao Mubei on the bed, "use the power of the Soul-Returning Pearl?"

Chu Yunxi knew that the Soul-Restoring Pearl was also from Kunlun Mountain, and had long guessed that the temple master came for the Soul-Restoring Pearl this time, so she explained the whole story to the temple master, and finally touched her belly and said, "Now the red light of the Soul-Restoring Pearl is on the child, and we don't know what's going on. We were thinking of asking the temple master, and then you came."

After hearing Chu Yunxi's words, the temple master sighed and said, "It's God's will. No wonder the Living Buddha sent me a message saying that the Soul-Restoring Pearl appeared in the world and asked me to go down the mountain to take a look. I was wondering, I can't even take out the Soul-Restoring Pearl. Who is so powerful that he can take out the Soul-Restoring Pearl and use its power?"

Chu Yunxi asked curiously, "Even Master, you can't take out the Soul-Restoring Pearl?"

The master nodded, "Yes, the Soul-Restoring Pearl can only be obtained by those who are destined to obtain it. I have no destiny with it, so naturally I cannot take it out. Otherwise, when you came to see me last time, I would not have given you the Soul-Locking Mirror."

"So, the Soul-Restoring Orb can really help Xiao Sui regain consciousness faster, right?"

The temple master rolled his eyes at her and said, "Of course, the Soul-Restoring Pearl is more powerful than the Soul-Locking Mirror. It can not only quickly gather unformed consciousness, but also gather the three souls and seven spirits of the dead. It is precisely because it is too powerful that it cannot be easily revealed in the world. Otherwise, wouldn't the order of life and death in this world be disrupted?"

Chu Yunxi opened her mouth in surprise, "You mean, the Soul-Restoring Pearl can really bring the dead back to life?"

"How else did your lover come back to life? His soul has already left his body. If it weren't for the Soul-Restoring Orb, he would have been a corpse by now."

Chu Yunxi was frightened. Fortunately, the soul-restoring bead was with Xiao Sui, otherwise she would have become a widow. Without Xiao Mubei for the rest of her life, she really didn’t know how she would live.

The temple master said, "Everything has its own destiny. Since the Soul-Returning Pearl has chosen the child in your belly, I cannot get the Soul-Returning Pearl back before he is born. I cannot complete the task assigned to me by the Living Buddha. I have no choice but to stay in the capital until the child in your belly is born."

Chu Yunxi felt that although she said there was nothing she could do, she was actually secretly delighted in her heart, because when she spoke, she couldn't even suppress the corners of her mouth.

So Chu Yunxi teased: "That's perfect, but if you live in the capital, the master must be careful."

“What should I be careful about?” The master of the temple didn’t understand.

Chu Yunxi smiled, "Be careful... the flowers are so beautiful that they dazzle your eyes."

Now, even Xiao Mubei behind the veil couldn't help but laugh.

In the Dali Temple Prison, the crazy Taoist priest had iron chains tied on his hands and feet. At this moment, he was sitting blankly in the corner of the cell, not knowing what he was thinking about.

There were footsteps outside the cell, walking towards him. He thought it was the jailer who brought him food. He didn't even raise his eyelids. Everything in the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him. He was just immersed in his own world.

The cell door was opened, and the footsteps kept coming towards him until they stopped in front of him. The crazy Taoist saw a corner of a white Taoist robe and a pair of snow-white shoes standing in front of him.

Slowly looking up along the Taoist robe, a beautiful face came into view.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and it was the Crazy Taoist who spoke first, "After all these years, your appearance has not changed at all."

The master of the temple curled his lips and smiled, and slowly said, "But you are old."

The crazy Taoist laughed at himself, "Yes, I am old, and my obsession is too deep. It's my fault. I didn't listen to you. I wasted so many years. Now I have lost the soul-restoring bead again. Is this really my fate?"

The temple master slowly squatted down, stared into the eyes of the crazy Taoist, and said word by word: "Back then, I told you that life and death in this world are all predetermined. Don't be obsessed, just let them reincarnate. But you didn't believe it and insisted on going against the will of heaven. You made yourself into this half-human, half-ghost appearance, leaving me wandering under Kunlun Mountain for several years, but in the end, the facts proved that you are not the destined person, and you are not destined to have the Soul-Returning Pearl after all. What's the use of getting it for a short time? Isn't it just making wedding clothes for others?"

"But I... I just want to give it a try. I want... to see my brother again." Tears oozed from the crazy Taoist's eyes.

The temple master sighed deeply and reached out to wipe away the tears from his eyes. "The world is over. Since he is gone, you insisted on keeping him for so many years, making his soul unable to enter reincarnation and rest in peace. You are not helping him, but harming him, do you understand? Now, in order to return the soul bead, you almost hurt another life, adding to your sins. Why bother?"

The crazy Taoist suddenly raised his head, "King Dingbei... is still alive?" He was very clear about the severity of his attack at that time. For the past two days, he had always thought that King Dingbei was dead. He felt very guilty when he thought that he had killed the only son of his savior.

The temple master stood up and said, "He is alive. Thanks to the Soul-Returning Pearl in the princess's body, the King of Dingbei was able to save his life. After all the twists and turns, you can be considered to have saved him. If you hadn't had someone bring the Soul-Returning Pearl out of Kunlun Mountain, he wouldn't have survived this time."

The crazy Taoist said in a hoarse voice, "But, without the Soul-Restoring Pearl, I can't hurt him."

This is also true, but there are not so many ifs in this world, everything is destined. The master stood up, turned his back to the crazy Taoist, and asked: "In this situation, I will only ask you once, do you still plan to try to find a way to get the soul bead back, or are you willing to go with me, let go of your obsession, and let your brother and sister-in-law rest in peace?"

"The Soul-Restoring Orb...what's the current situation?" the crazy Taoist asked with difficulty.

"The Soul-Restoring Pearl is in the possession of the destined person. I can tell you clearly that if it is not the destined person, no matter how many times you get it, you will lose it. Life and death are the laws of heaven and earth, and they are not so easy to break. Are you still unable to let go of your obsession?"
