A part of the elders went with their disciples to take the monks away.
I thought of some details, then I pulled out my phone to make a call and stepped aside a few steps.
Soon, my dad answered, and his side had a bit of a chaotic sound.
"Seven monks from Heicheng Temple have arrived, and they have all been captured. Dad, lock their giblets to keep them in place? How else can we restrain them? Can the disrobing items on their bodies be removed?" I asked.
"Captured? Seven people? Hiss..." My dad drew a sharp breath, as if startled.
"With the senior monk's help, it's no problem." I answered.
At this time, the others stopped their actions.
They all heard my words and were waiting for the outcome.
"I see... Yes, the disrobing items need to be taken away, but be careful... the corpse poison on their bodies..." My dad carefully instructed some things.
I just realized that the corpse poison issue was equally serious.
The funeral director from Panfuang City we were looking for back then; it was the corpse poison that killed my father.
First, I repeated my father's instructions. I didn't wait for the second elder to give orders to the disciples and went over to handle it myself.
I did it more straightforward. I directly stripped off all the clothes on the monks' bodies, letting them be exposed to the sunlight. Without exception, these monks had muscular and muscular physiques, completely different from my understanding of monks.
The monks I currently know are mostly overweight and have a broader build.
Among the disciples, not only were there males, but also some females. I immediately turned my head.
A considerable number of male disciples looked at them with a touch of strangeness and a bit of embarrassment.
I took action not to make a show of it, but because after He You Tian had given me medicine, I wasn't afraid of poison, which made it easier and faster for me.
I gathered all the clothes together and set them on fire, while instructing the disciples to gather at the upper wind direction.
As the wind blew, the smoke drifted down the mountain.
The vast Si Feng mountain, even if there is corpse poison in the smoke, it will quickly dissipate.
After the clothes were burned, some special objects were laid out on the ground, some of which were obviously made of bones, as well as rattles made of yellowish-brown leather. Even the fire could not burn them down.
There were many other small objects, and even in the sunlight, they seemed extremely eerie.
In particular, there was one object about the size of a palm, with edges that were initially flat, then many folds. It was somewhat similar to skin, but in the center, it became slightly fuller. This object exuded the heaviest aura!
"I beg you, elders, to use the symbol to suppress them. These disrobing items can attract very terrifying things." I bowed to the elders.
The disciples' eyes were filled with curiosity, even the female disciples looked over, their eyes filled with more thought and more doubts.
By the time this was all done, the monks had long since regained consciousness. However, they showed no shame for being stripped bare and didn't appear to be in pain from their aching bones being pierced. Instead, they murmured in their mouths as if reciting scriptures.
The elders quickly sealed off all the disrobing items with symbols. Only after they were done did I say that they could be taken away.
The second elder, along with several elders and a large number of disciples, led the monks towards the sinful energy hall as He You Tian had said.
The remaining elders carefully gathered up all the disrobing items.
"Manifesting god, these things have too much negative energy. How should we destroy them?" He You Tian asked me.
After a moment of thought, I looked at the goblet and sword in the sky.
He You Tian pondered for a moment before saying, "Take all of them to the Thunder God Cliff. If there is a favorable time, we can borrow the thunder to burn the evil things."
The remaining elders nodded cautiously, and they began to walk in the direction of Thunder God Cliff, carrying the objects.
Instead of going back to the Six Palace with He You Tian, I went to Shang Qing Hall.
We hadn't been there for long when the second elder, along with some other elders and disciples, approached us.
He asked me a few simple questions and talked with He You Tian for a while. It was mainly about the Black City Temple, of course, his attitude was fine.
The time wasted earlier was not short, and as the sky approached dusk, I realized it was time to leave.
The second elder looked up at the sky and murmured, "It's getting dark. We still need to summon the Xuan Chi Jin Xiang to diagnose Wu Ling's condition. In these troubled times, it's important for Wu Ling to recover quickly so he can be of more help."
In response to this, I didn't say anything.
Help?
As long as Wu Ling doesn't have any cunning or sinister plans, that would be enough.
It's getting dark, and second elder is still working for us, counting our money. Although I haven't found anything, maybe Lao Gong will have a discovery.
"First, eat some food, then go to the Temple of the Spirits. Xuan Sheng, you must tell him to carefully search. He is a Yin-Yang master, there's no problem."
"Hmm, perhaps Wu Ling betrayed Mo San San. Maybe Mo San San used some secret strategy in the dark." He You Tian stroked his short beard and said.
It seems that He You Tian is speaking without intention.
However, the second elder listened carefully and his eyes instantly became serious. He exclaimed in surprise, "I never thought of that!"
On that day, Wu Ling's performance at the grand ceremony was to betray Mo San San.
Of course, in the eyes of the elders, it was as if Wu Ling had suddenly awakened and decisively severed ties with the hunters.
"It's not too late to think of it now." He You Tian's tone was calm.
"Phew... Thank you, senior brother for the reminder!" The second elder's eyes deepened significantly as he said, "I will discuss it with Wu Ling properly."
He You Tian nodded at me and led me towards the dining hall.
The elders' meals are prepared in a different way from ordinary disciples.
In the past, I was always at the Ancestral Temple, and even after I moved to the Six Palace, people would bring food to me. But since I've been back on Si Feng Mountain for a while, there's no need to trouble others to bring meals back and forth all the time.
After eating the food, we didn't immediately go to the Temple of the Spirits, but waited until it was completely dark.
On the way to the Temple of the Spirits, He You Tian and I deliberately found a place where there were no people to walk, and told Lao Gong about what happened during the day.
Lao Gong kept licking his lips, saying he didn't believe it and was sure there had to be some clues.
Later, Lao Gong looked at He You Tian in a daze and muttered, "Old He, something seems to be wrong. Your temple bone is recessed and even blackened, affecting your cheekbones. What's going on at Si Feng Mountain?"
"You're indeed a genius." He You Tian concisely summarized what happened today in just a few words.
Lao Gong kept opening his mouth in surprise, but his eyes were fixed straight ahead, staring intently at He You Tian.
After a while, Lao Gong said, "This won't work. When you see that old second elder, tell him to send a few people immediately to kill those monks."
"You guys are really something. The monks have killed your people, so what are you keeping them for? Wasting rice? Wasting the air of Si Feng Mountain? Or waiting for the people from Black City Temple to come and set them free?"
"What good words can they say? Why not ask Luo Laozi?"
"Even if you want to know, the number of people who have come from Black City Temple, they certainly will not say it. These dead men are not simple monks. They are very fierce! Do not kill them in time, be careful of big trouble!"
"Yes, after checking on that little brat Wu Ling, I'm going to look for Sister Lu."
Lao Gong's last words made me furrow my brow and say, "Don't mess around."
"Grandfather, I'm going to protect those little ladies! They are the pearls of Si Feng Mountain and the hard work of Qi elders. You wouldn't want the little lady Si Yan to get in trouble, would you?" Lao Gong added another sentence, which made me full of doubts.
What's in his medicine bottle?
