“A statue?”
Yun ngxi was confused and asked, “What statue? Didn’t Liu Shishi and I smash the clay statue of the Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple?” “My husband is talking about the small statue on the table in the room, right?” Yue Yuluo reacted and said, “After your Soul Searching, we hurriedly went to save Sister Shishi and didn’t take the statue with us… Yes, the receptionist lady was also left in the room.”
“I see.”
Xu Yang suddenly understood.
At that ti, after the two “believers” of the Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple died, the gray fog from their bodies entered the statue, which was very abnormal. However, Xu Yang later focused on saving Liu Shishi and forgot to take the statue with him.
Now it seed that the “receptionist” was influenced by the statue.
He thought for a mont and took out his phone to call Zhou Jie.
“Master Xu!”
As soon as Zhou Jie answered the call, he laughed and said, “Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on winning the championship in the fifth Da Xia Daoist Skills Competition.”
Xu Yang said with a smile, “It’s nothing for , an Entering Dao Realm, to win a championship in the Qi Refining Group.”
As he spoke, his tone changed, and he continued, “Director Zhou, I called to ask about sothing… After I killed the two grave-robbing gang mbers in Lintong Yuet Chun Hot Springs Hotel last ti, your Supernatural Affairs Bureau should have sent soone there, right?”
“Did you find a Buddha statue in the room?”
“Buddha statue?”
Zhou Jie paused for a mont, and then imdiately began shouting “Xiao Chen” and “Secretary Chen.” A crisp female voice followed from the other side…
What the!
That Zhou Jie, abusing his power for personal gain, actually had a female secretary for himself?
However, the benefits of having a female secretary soon beca apparent as Zhou Jie quickly inquired and said, “Master Xu, I checked with her. Our people took back two mummies from the scene, along with so clothes and grave-robbing tools, but they didn’t find anything else.”
“Mummies?”
Xu Yang was slightly taken aback.
But he quickly rembered the two grave-robbing gang mbers he killed in the guest house. Their bodies began to rot and shrivel rapidly when exposed to sunlight, so it was normal for them to beco mummies.
“Master Xu, what happened?”
Zhou Jie asked, “However, our people did discover several strange Buddha statues being worshiped in the nearby villages when they were investigating the surroundings of Xuan Mountain… Give a mont, I’ll send you the photos. Master Xu, you can check if those are the sa statues you saw.”
After hanging up the phone,
Zhou Jie quickly sent the photos.
The photo showed a Buddha statue one foot tall, with a compassionate expression on its face. However, the staff in its hand had a skull on it, and the beads around its neck were made of small skulls. This made the statue’s compassionate face seem sowhat eerie.
“Yes, it’s this statue!”
Yue Yuluo leaned over and confird the statue in the photo.
Xu Yang naturally rembered the statue, and his expression beca sowhat solemn. He let out a sigh and said, “This Great Priest of Xuan Mountain Temple really has so skills…”
After thinking for a mont, he called Wang Hou.
The person who answered the phone was a woman with a sweet voice, who claid to be Wang Hou’s secretary.
Damn!
Xu Yang couldn’t help but think… It seed that having a female secretary was a tradition for the heads of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau?
He wondered if Chen, the director of the Xi Xia branch, also had a female secretary… Wait, he’s now the deputy director of the Xi Xia branch, so why didn’t the Supernatural Affairs Bureau assign him a female secretary?
After waiting for a dozen seconds,
the phone was finally handed to Wang Hou, who spoke lazily, “What’s up?” “Minister Wang, how did you dispose of the Yin deity you caught from Xuan Mountain Temple last ti?”
Xu Yang asked.
Wang Hou: “Dead ball!”
Xu Yang frowned and asked, “How did it die?”
“After I captured that guy, I wanted to suppress him and send him to the laboratory for research, but he refused to submit and even insulted my ancestors. So, I killed him with a single slap.”
Uh, this…
Xu Yang pondered for a few seconds and asked, “Did he say anything before he
died?”
Wang Hou said indifferently, “My hand is very fast; do you think he had ti to say anything harsh? By the way, why are you suddenly asking about this?”
“I suspect that the Great Priest is not dead.”
Xu Yang revealed his judgnt, “I found his statue in Lintong County… I have also confird with Director Zhou that their branch has discovered statues of the priests in the villages near Xuan Mountain. The statues are being worshipped by the villagers.”
“I suspect that before we discovered him, the Great Priest had already split his consciousness, attaching a part of it to his statues… So when the one who was slapped to death by you, it could only be considered a clone.”
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
After a long while, Wang Hou finally slapped the table and cursed, “Damn it, this bastard is actually playing the trick of faking his death with … Xu Yang, where are you now? I will inform Zhou Jie to cooperate with your investigation. Once we find that bastard, I will personally crush him to death!”
“Damn it, he dares to insult my ancestors…”
He grumbled and hung up the phone.
Only then did Xu Yang breathe a sigh of relief.
He had made great progress in terms of Daoist skills these days, and he still had 20,000 rit points that could be used if necessary. Joining forces with Liu Shishi and Yun ngxi, they could deal with the Great Priest.
But who knew how many statues that guy made?
