18 Because of the mutation
The next morning, the two Taoist priests who guarded Liu Lei found that the big iron lock on the basement door was loose, and the people who were locked up did not know where to go, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly reported to Luo Zhenren.
Luo Zhenren immediately rushed to inspect it, carefully studied and judged the iron lock parts scattered on the ground, squatted on the ground and pondered for a long time before returning to Li Chaoyong: "Dao Chief, Liu Lei and the group of thieves have escaped." β
Li Chaoyong was startled at first, and then asked very calmly: "How did you escape, what about the Taoist priest who guarded it?" β
"The iron lock on the basement door fell apart, I looked at it carefully, and I didn't know how it fell apart, because there was no trace of hard knocking on the iron, as if it was a problem with the quality of the lock, so it fell apart?"
"What's wrong with that?"
"Dao Chief, you say, why did such a big iron lock suddenly fall apart? Is it made of mud? Papier-mΓ’chΓ©? I analyzed, this chain must be a very strong martial arts master, slapped with his hand to fall apart, otherwise, how to explain it? β
"Are you saying that the mysterious person behind Liu Lei appeared, or was it the instruction of the gang of thieves to come and rescue them?" Li Chaoyong stared at Luo Zhenren and asked.
"The instigator of that gang of thieves shouldn't have such skills, but the mysterious person behind Liu Lei has the most doubts, the mystery of Luo Guangxiu's disappearance and Luo Guangqi of the Demon God Planet has not been solved until now, and Mr. Cai has left Fushan County for a lot of time, and he hasn't come back yet, not to say, not even a single news, the magic weapon he gave us to the Toyama Taoist Temple is probably a bad thing."
When Li Chaoyong heard Luo Zhenren's words, he pondered. After a long while, he slowly raised his head, looked at Luo Daoren and asked, "Keying, do you think I don't know the intention of the Demon God Star Boundary to send that magic weapon?" You also know the skills of the two gods in the Demon God Star Boundary, can I object? If Toyama Taoist Temple wants to be preserved, it must listen to them. Do you think Liu Lei and the gang of thieves can escape alive? β
"Dao Chief, do you have something unspeakable?"
"Senior Brother Keying, there are some things you don't want you to know that I am protecting you. Usually, I don't allow you to call me senior brother, you must call Taoist, I don't call you junior brother, nor do I call Keying, but Taoist, this is also to protect you. β
"Dao Chief, if you have anything, you can say it, and we will help you bear it together."
"Haha." Li Chaoyong sneered a few times and said, "Keying, you are too naΓ―ve, with you? With our Toyama Taoist Temple? Or with the Taoists of all the Taoist temples in our county? You don't know the power of those two gods in the Demon God Star Boundary, they can destroy the entire county town alone. β
"Dao Chief, it won't be so terrifying."
"Am I a rambler?"
"Dao Chief, what should I do if Liu Lei and those people have escaped?"
"Liu Lei escaped, what can we do? Now that the two gods are missing, who else is going to hold us accountable? Do you think I'm afraid of Li Tianyi and Zou Haifeng? Liu Lei and those thieves were not in our Taoist temple in the first place. β
"Daoist, you are right, we have always said that Liu Lei is not in the Taoist Temple, and now he is really not in the Taoist Temple, but this matter confirms that we are telling the truth."
"Don't say it so clearly. I learned to protect the Taoist temple, and when I became a Taoist leader in the future, I had to think more about what I said. β
"Dao Chief, what are you talking about, you are so young, I am lucky to be able to study under you. However, Dao Chief, if Liu Lei brings someone to trouble us, what will we do? β
Haha, Li Chaoyong smiled faintly and said, "Why did he bring people back to find trouble, he still has to thank our Taoist temple." β
"Dao Chief, how do you say this?"
Li Chaoyong did not answer Luo Keying's question, but changed the topic and said: "Those female crowns of Baocheng Taoist Temple, if you don't know the truth, you will come to find trouble. β
"Don't be afraid, they're here to steal magic weapons, and who saw us detaining them."
"That's a good thing to say, but what will our peers think of us?" Li Chaoyong pondered for a while and said, "Senior Brother Keying, I have been thinking about it for a long time, if I want to avoid disasters in the Taoist Temple, I should take the blame and resign as the Taoist Chief, leave the Taoist Temple in Fushan, and go to the clouds." β
"Senior brother, it won't be so serious."
Li Chaoyong was silent for a while, and said, "You are here to preside over the affairs of the Toyama Taoist Temple." There are some things that you don't know, the gods sent by the Demon God Star Realm, the divine power is all gone, and now they are all missing, most of our industry is actually theirs, they want to develop their careers on our earth and control resources. Li Chaoyong said with a serious face, "You just need to know these things, and don't spread them." In the future, if someone comes to contact, you can receive them and give them what they deserve, and you can push other things on. With me leaving, I will take everything with me, and I have made this decision for the sake of the Taoist Temple, I can't let the Toyama Taoist Temple be destroyed in my hands, as for other things, it depends on my own creation. β
"Senior brother, I haven't understood you all along, it turns out that you are carrying such a heavy thing, I'm sorry! I misunderstood you. Roquecamp said with tears in his eyes.
"Alas, junior brother, the reason why those two people in the Demon God Star Realm chose our Toyama Taoist Temple as their stronghold is because of our Taoist Temple's reputation and good geographical location. I can only tell you this, the more things you know, the worse it is for you, you just need to manage the affairs of the Taoist temple, you don't want to change other things casually, especially those industries, just keep it. Calm down, no matter what outsiders or peers say, you ignore it and don't argue, you know? β
"Senior brother, I understand. I'm just worried about you, their spells are so powerful, will it be easy for them to find you? β
"Let it be, see what I've created. Oh, remember the Mr. Cai I mentioned to you? He has also left Toyama Prefecture now, and I have been secretly inquiring about him, but there is still no news, this person has a complicated background, pay attention, but don't disobey him. As for the others, if they come to me, you will always say that I have wandered and do not know the exact location. β
"Well, I know what to do."
"I'll take that artifact with me. Alas, I originally wanted to leave this magic weapon to you, but considering that some people are staring at it and trying their best to get it, the group of people who stole the magic weapon last time, I know that it is Baocheng Taoist Temple, and Zixia Cave is also thinking that if you stay in the Taoist Temple, it will bring disaster to the Taoist Temple. When I leave, I will make some moves to let those people know that I took the magic weapon with me, and they can only come at me for anything. β
"Senior brother, you carry all the disasters by yourself for the sake of the Taoist temple, this is not fair to you, we will help you bear it together."
"Fool, to be a Taoist leader is to have the courage to take responsibility and dare to sacrifice. Remember what I said today, after I leave, Toyama Taoist Temple will depend on you. β
"Senior brotherβ"
"Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you have time, you have to learn some spells." Li Chaoyong explained everything, turned around and left the mountain house, leaving only the still stunned Luo Ke camp.
On the same day, Li Chaoyong instructed Zou Daoren to inform all the Taoists and laymen who stayed in the Taoist temple, as well as some Lent masters, to listen to his lectures on the Dharma Sutra at the Taoist Temple, which may be the last time he would teach the Dharma Sutra to everyone, and he decided to travel all over the world.
When these people heard that the chief was going to travel, they came to listen to the scriptures and say goodbye. But Li Chaoyong did not go to preach the Fajing, he quietly walked out of the mountain gate with a few changes of Taoist robes on his back, and when he walked to the top of Fu Mountain, he turned to the Taoist temple in the mountain, said a few words, turned around and strode away.
All the people in the lecture hall heard that the Taoist chief had left, and they rushed out one after another, some shouted the name of the Taoist chief, some cried loudly, and some desperately chased after them, everyone ran to the top of the mountain, and the figure of the Taoist chief was long gone, only to see a piece of bluestone on the top of the mountain with a spiritual rune split by the Taoist chief with a magic weapon, glowing with a faint blue light, protecting the Taoist temple of Fushan.
Soon, the story of the tour of Li Daochang, a Taoist temple in Toyama, spread all over the villages and communities in Toyama County, and became a hot topic of discussion.
Daoist Elder Lai Furong of Baocheng Taoist Temple and Daoist Chief Zheng of Zixia Cave Taoist Temple got the news at the same time, and they immediately felt empty and full of regret in their hearts.
