The elder Taoist priest recalled the events of the day (the Taoist priests of the Heavenly Master's Mansion got up every day as soon as they arrived, combed their hair, washed their faces, put on robes, and wore crowns. The incense burning drum in the upper hall is beaten, and the Taoist priest on duty offers tea, water supply, burns incense, and cleans the temple to the statue. The Taoist priests who are not worthy of the temple box, walk, meditate, and practice.

After cleaning, the Taoist priests entered the dining hall for breakfast, which consisted of steamed buns and porridge. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner at noon, Taoism believes that every day is the time when yin and yang are intertwined, and eating at this hour is conducive to health care.

After the meal, the courtyard is cleaned and the temple gate is opened to welcome visitors and pilgrims. It's so busy every day, repeating life.

And the Taoist chief, who is usually the first to get up, has been missing that morning, and without waiting for everyone to make a decision, the Yuxu Taoist stood up and said, "I'll go to the Taoist chief's cloud room to see what happened, and by the way, call the Taoist chief to come over for breakfast." ”

"Dao Chief, Dao Chief..."The Yuxu Daoist knocked on the door again and again, but no one responded. Suddenly, he smelled a strong smell of blood, and the Yuxu Daoist hurriedly opened the crack in the door to look, and saw the Taoist chief lying on the mahogany bed, with a sword stuck in his chest, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Frightened, Daoist Wu hurriedly kicked open the door and rushed in, seeing that the Taoist Chief's eyes were dull and white, as if he had too much resentment, and there was not the slightest calmness of the cultivator's inaction and selflessness.

Seeing the bloody wound, the Yuxu Taoist felt uncomfortable and almost vomited, he hurriedly ran outside the hall and shouted, "Come on, come on, the Taoist chief was killed~~~"

The Taoist priests were eating breakfast in the dining hall, chatting and chatting, and after a while, someone heard the shouts of the Yuxu Taoist priest, and the Taoist priests put down their chopsticks and flocked to the cloud room of the Taoist chief.

"Hurry up and report to the official, you guard the cloud room and don't let anyone in." The elder Taoist priest instructed the Taoist priests to go about their work.

Within an hour, the catcher of Shunzi City and the servant arrived, and after a cursory look, he made a decision "The Taoist chief let someone steal his sword and stab him in the heart while he was asleep and died"

He asked the Taoist priests, "Have you seen any suspicious people?" ”

"Yesterday, a few people came to ask for the Heavenly Master Talisman, and the Daoist Master personally drew a few talismans for them." A Taoist priest recalled.

"Who are they?"

"Catch your lord. I don't know anyone else, I only know that the person was brought by the shopkeeper of the Sunset Inn in Dongmingshan. The Taoist priest continued.

"Come on, go and get the shopkeeper of the Sunset Inn for me." Catch quickly shouted at his men.

Catch quickly and walk around the room to see if you can find any clues of the murderer, the cupboards in the room have been opened, and the objects inside are thrown on the ground in a disorderly manner, it seems that the murderer is looking for something.

But what treasures can the Taoist priests have, and he quickly asked the Taoist priests, "Look, what's missing?" ”

"Lord Catch quickly, Taoist priests are cultivators, how can there be any gold, silver and jewelry." The Taoist priest said seriously.

"However, the murderer clearly knew what to look for. Could it be that the Heavenly Master left some treasures? Catch quickly continued to pace around the room.

"The Heavenly Master has traveled all over the world, and we haven't met for a few years. How can there be any treasures left in the Heavenly Master's Mansion. ”

"My lord~~~~" The officers and soldiers hurriedly ran over.

"Hmm~~" Catch quickly glared at the panicked officers and soldiers.

"My lord, someone saw the shopkeeper of the Sunset Inn driving a carriage and a few people fleeing in the direction of Shunzi City."

"Afraid of crime and absconding, you rush to tell Qin Dutou and let him lead his troops to rob the murderer in the carriage!" The arrest was no longer investigated, and the case was closed in a hurry and the shopkeeper was determined to be the murderer. ）

Mo Wuwen couldn't help but ask the Taoist who told the incident, "Why did you decide the case so hastily?" ”

"On that day, you were indeed the only ones who came to the Heavenly Master's Mansion." The older Taoist priest paused and said.

"Just because we've been here doesn't mean that we're killing people, how could the murderer enter the Heavenly Master's Mansion openly, of course, sneaking into the Heavenly Master's Mansion like a thief. Is there really nothing missing in the Heavenly Master's Mansion? Mo Wuwen looked at the Taoist priest with puzzled eyes.

"This..."The Taoist priest hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Who are you?" ”

How to say it. Mo Wuwen can't say that he is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Master after a thousand years, and the Taoist priest either thinks he is a madman or he is playing tricks on the Taoist priests. But how to dispel the doubts of the Taoist priests, Mo Wuwen decided to take out a bet and take out the celadon piece and say that the Heavenly Master sent him to protect the Heavenly Master's Mansion, although it is ridiculous, but it may be the only way to make the Taoist priests believe in themselves.

"Look what this thing is." Mo Wuwen held up the celadon slice, and under the candlelight on the side table of the coffin, it shone faintly green.

"It turns out that it was really you who killed the Dao Master." When the older Taoist priest saw the celadon is drawing his sword, he stabbed it, and Mo Wuwen hurriedly retreated, waving the celadon piece and shouting at the Taoist priest, "Stop, stop, listen to me." ”

The Taoist priests didn't pay attention to it, and stabbed the sword over as usual, and Mo Wuwen dodged the Daoist who grabbed the bench and slammed the sword over, and fell to the edge of the coffin and fell to the ground instantly. Li Xiaomai, I, Li Xiaohe, also hurriedly picked up the bench and stood behind the apocalypse.

"This is the spiritual hall of the Taoist chief, how can you fight and kill." Mo Wuwen put down the bench and said to the Taoist priest who had picked up the sword again.

"Don't lie to confuse the public, you didn't kill people, where did the celadon come from!" The Taoist priest held his sword and continued to say to Mo Wuwen.

"Look clearly, the celadon piece is not a fragment of the Heavenly Master Bottle, I don't believe you come over to see that the edges of this porcelain piece are so old, not at all like the color of the Heavenly Master Bottle that has just been broken." Mo Wuwen placed the celadon piece on the table next to the coffin.

The Taoist priest hurriedly rushed forward and took the celadon piece to look at it carefully, and asked Mo Wuwen, "Then, where did this celadon piece come from?" ”

"The Heavenly Master said that the Heavenly Secret should not be revealed, and the Heavenly Master asked us to help you subdue demons and eliminate demons." Mo Wuwen pretended to be vague and said, to be honest, he didn't know if the Taoist had anything to do with the demon, anyway, he could only go step by step after the matter had come to this point.

"Heavenly Master?" The Taoist priest wondered if he had heard it wrong, could it be that they really had something to do with the Heavenly Master.

But at this time, the Taoist priest couldn't believe his eyes, and shouted "ah". I couldn't help but feel that the Taoist priest didn't believe that Mo Wuwen was really sent by the Heavenly Master to help them, and the celadon piece that was still lying in his hand just now actually slowly rose and floated over and fell into Mo Wuwen's hand.

"It's not you, so who stole the Celestial Master Bottle?" The Taoist priest's tone eased significantly.

"The Celestial Master Bottle has been stolen!" Li Xiaomai screamed.

"Who stole the Celestial Master Bottle before us? Could it be a demon, if it is a demon, they should go to open the dragon kiln and rescue the demon Shi Tianzun back to the gray realm. But after a thousand years, the Demon Shi Tianzun is still locked under the lock demon well, so it means that even if the demon snatched the Heavenly Master Bottle, he didn't open the dragon kiln. If it's not a demon, who would it be? Mo Wuwen fell into contemplation for a moment, and said to the older Taoist priest, "Are you sure that the Heavenly Master Bottle was stolen?" ”

"Look!" The Taoist priest pointed to the moved cabinet and said to Mo Wuwen, only to see that the secret door on the wall behind the cabinet was opened, and a small wooden box engraved with "Non Gui Shui" was open, and there was nothing inside.

"This is the box containing the Celestial Master Bottle, and when the Celestial Master Bottle was just cast that year, I saw the Celestial Master and he placed the Celestial Master Bottle in the box." The Taoist priest said with great certainty.

But at this moment, there is a doubt that comes to the mind of Mo Wuwen, why did the thief only take away the Celestial Master Bottle and leave the wooden box, is it deliberately doing this for fear that others will not know that the Celestial Master Bottle has been stolen? It doesn't conform to common sense, Mo Wuwen feels that this matter is strange, and the truth of the facts is confusing and needs to be investigated.

"Dao Chief, you continue to do things to surpass the soul of the Dao Chief." Mo Wuwen wanted to calm down and think about the ins and outs of the matter.

"Master, Master." Li Xiaomai said softly behind Mo Wuwen.

"What's the matter?" Mo Wuwen turned around and whispered.

"Master, we haven't eaten for a day, let these Taoist priests give us something to eat." When Li Xiaomai talked about eating, he was also weak when he spoke.

"So that's the case, if you don't say that I don't feel hungry, I can't be hungry if you let me say it." Mo Wuwen walked up to the elderly Taoist priest and said, "Daoist, we have rushed all the way here, we are hungry, can you give us something to eat?" ”

"It's a small thing. Master, let Daoist Yuchen take you to the fasting room to have something to eat. The Taoist priest walked over and muttered a few words to the little Taoist priest who was chanting by the coffin.

The jade dust Taoist priest took them to the fasting room. On the table, pickled edamame buns, pumpkin pie, vegetarian roasted thousand-page tofu, shepherd's cabbage tofu soup and many other delicacies, Li Xiaomai and Li Xiaohe ate them without regard for etiquette. Mo Wuwen put down his chopsticks and said, "After eating, let's go to the Sunset Inn to see what the situation is there, we escaped from the prison in Shunzi City, I don't know if the officers and soldiers have rushed to Dongming Mountain." ”

As soon as Mo Wuwen's voice fell, a Taoist priest hurriedly ran over, threw over a big burden, gasped and said: "Huiqing Daoist, please change into Taoist clothes, there are many officers and soldiers from outside the Heavenly Master's Mansion. ”

After a while, the kung fu officers and soldiers poured into the Heavenly Master's Mansion to see that there was no movement, and then retreated to the mourning hall and asked the Huiqing Taoist, that is, the elderly Taoist priest, "Have you seen the fugitive appear in Dongming Mountain?" ”

"No, Your Excellency. All fellow Daoists are crossing for the Taoist, how can there be fugitives here? ”

"Last night, there were mandrills in the prison of Shunzi Province and robbed the murderers who killed the Taoist. They were seen fleeing in a carriage to Dongming Mountain. If there is any news, the Taoist will notify us immediately, and if you don't report it, you will be aiding the torture and the murderer will be guilty of the same crime! Do you understand? The deputy head glared at the Taoist priests with a slightly fierce look and congratulated.

"It must be certain, if the murderer of the Dao Chief comes to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, we will definitely let him come and not return!" Huiqing Daoist pretended to be angry, and shouted angrily.
