When the wind blew, the wide Daoist robe was empty, as if it was directly draped over the skeleton.
If not for the fact that it was broad daylight, many people would have thought that they had seen a ghost.
Everyone present was shocked. Before they could react, they heard the pale-faced and beardless eunuch report to the Emperor.
!!
“Your Majesty, Shangqing is here.”
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, stunning everyone present.
“This is Shangqing?!’
Someone in the crowd shouted in shock.
Everyone looked at the azure-robed Daoist in shock.
Wuliang Temple was the largest and most famous Daoist temple in the capital. Shangqing Spiritual Master had an immortal name in the capital and was admired by many believers. Many people present had seen Shangqing Spiritual Master before.
Some went to the Wuliang Temple to offer incense and listen to scriptures, and some took a look at Shangqing from afar. There were also people who had seen Shangqing from afar when they went to other sects to do rituals. Even if they had not seen him before, they had heard people describe him. Those who had seen him all said that Shangqing was a sage-like figure who was like a god.
However, this withered and gloomy Daoist priest in front of them wasn’t a god. It was more like an evil ghost wearing human skin!
Under the escort of the imperial guards, Shangqing strolled forward nonchalantly.
After being taken down by the Emperor yesterday, Shangqing was neither afraid nor terrified. Last night, he meditated in the palace for the entire night and only treated the power of house arrest as cultivation.
He was very sure that the Emperor wouldn’t do anything to him!
Back then, the Celestial Rectifier Spiritual Master had repeatedly saved Emperor Taizu’s life and even helped him build this great empire.
After Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he took the Celestial Rectifier Spiritual Master as his Imperial Preceptor. Because of this, Wuliang Temple’s status in the Great Jin Dynasty was extraordinary. This was his backing.
Moreover, it was the Emperor who wanted to save the eldest princess. He was just following the Emperor’s request.
This technique was like a double-edged sword. There was no distinction between good and evil. It was up to the Emperor to decide if it was good or bad.
What crime did he commit?
At most, he would be escorted back to Wuliang Temple in a few days and be punished.
Shangqing walked in the direction of the Emperor and An Le, her clothes fluttering in the wind.
As he approached, an old woman in the crowd stared at his face for a while and pointed excitedly at Shangqing.
“This Daoist priest is indeed Shangqing. I remember that Shangqing Spiritual Master has a mole on his forehead.”
Right on the heels of that, the others chimed in and pointed out some of the characteristics of Shangqing’s body, such as his height, his hump nose, his pinky like a hook, and so on.
As more and more people voiced out their identification, the commoners were all convinced that the terrifying Daoist priest in front of them was really
Shangqing.
“But how did the Shangqing Spiritual Master become like this?’ someone asked loudly.
The crowd was silent. The commoners looked at each other, but no one could answer this question.
Gu Yanfei also heard the voices in the crowd. She clicked her tongue in her heart and casually tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear. The ends of her hair fluttered, and her sleeves flew up like clouds.
As Shangqing walked forward, he casually scanned his surroundings. When his gaze swept past Gu Yanfei, his originally expressionless face instantly darkened. His gaze was as dark and ruthless as an owl’s as it cut across Gu
Yanfei’s face like a knife.
“It’s you! ‘
Shangqing enunciated each word clearly. He couldn’t see the Emperor, Chu Yi, or anyone else at all. He only had eyes for Gu Yanfei.
It was as if only Gu Yanfei was worthy of his attention. The others were just insignificant ants.
“Shangqing, do you recognize this?”
Gu Yanfei picked up the wooden box and pulled open the lid, revealing the ferocious-looking Blood Gu in the box.
” ” Shangqing’s eyes widened in shock, and his skinny face twisted like a demon’s.
This was a Blood Gu!
But why was the Blood Gu taken out?!
Shangqing’s original calmness disappeared in an instant, as if he had fallen into an icehouse.
After the Murong family’s incident, Shangqing repeatedly reviewed the entire matter and carefully thought about it.
Gu Yanfei was able to tear off the Murong clan’s talisman paper, see through the technique of borrowing luck by rushing joy. She could see that his cultivation had been hindered in recent years…
When she spoke that day, her logic was rigorous and methodical. It didn’t seem like someone had given her pointers beforehand. All kinds of clues pointed out that Gu Yanfei was a person with extremely high cultivation.
This knowledge didn’t make Shangqing feel relieved. Instead, it made him even more confused. A person who has attained Dao should avoid the world and cultivate the right path.. Why should she care about the matters of the mortal world?!
