Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 43 Isn't this bullying an honest person? (Please read on)
Seeing that Cang Baizi was about to step into the hall, the situation became critical.

The princess suddenly cried out "Ouch!", covered her stomach and slowly squatted down.

"Miss!"

The maidservant in green who was standing outside the hall heard the noise and hurried into the hall.

She held the princess's hand and asked with concern, "My lady, are you okay?"

"It's nothing serious."

The princess gently stroked her belly, her eyes full of maternal love, and said helplessly: "It's just that the little grandson is making a lot of noise, I just need to take a rest."

She looked at Cang Baizi and said apologetically, "I am not feeling well right now, so I hope you can help me."

"It should."

In just a few words, a crisis was resolved quietly and silently.

Cang Baizi no longer doubted it, swept his whisk, and stepped into the hall.

He came before the statue of the Three Pure Ones and moved the palm-sized purple tripod on the incense table to the right.

There was a "creaky" sound, and a secret door on the side of the Three Pure Ones statue was opened.

The princess watched carefully from behind and silently memorized the location of the secret room and how to open it.

After a while, Cang Baizi walked out of the dark room, closed the door, and then said to the princess: "I have searched around, but I didn't find anything left by the princess."

The princess showed a look of regret: "Maybe it was lost along the way. It seems difficult to find it back."

With the help of a maid in green, she stepped forward with her belly bulging, and said to Cang Baizi, "Since I can't find it, I won't bother you anymore."

"I will also ask my followers to keep an eye out. If they find anything left behind by the princess, I will send someone to inform you. Please rest assured, princess."

"The Taoist priest is thoughtful."

……

Come out of Baiyun Temple and go down the mountain.

The "prince's consort" let go of the hand of the maid beside her, and her expression changed again. The corners of her eyes turned up, and her facial features moved. In the end, her originally gentle appearance became somewhat charming.

Zhao Nishang looked back at Baiyun Temple with some fear in her eyes.

When the secret room in the Sanqing Hall was opened, a strong sense of crisis came over her, making her dare not act rashly.

What's more, Cang Baizi is also a celestial warrior. Even if his energy and blood are weak, if they really fight, I will not be his opponent.

Fortunately, this trip was fruitful.

Zhao Nishang thought for a moment, and said to the maidservant in green beside her: "Go to the Observatory and bring a message to the Fourth Young Master..."

She lowered her voice and explained a few things in detail.

The maid in green listened carefully, nodded, and left quietly.

……

"Open the door and check the Taoist temple!"

An hour later, the Astronomical Observatory's team arrived at Baiyun Temple in a mighty force.

The leader, Zhao Guanxiang, kicked open the door of the Taoist temple and rushed in with his men.

As soon as the officials from the Observatory entered, they began to clear out the pilgrims with ease, dragged the Taoists in the temple to the front yard, and then rummaged through the drawers and cabinets in each hall.

It’s still the familiar process and the familiar taste.

The Taoists in the temple were instantly shocked.

Again?

Isn’t this bullying honest people?

Upon receiving the news, Cang Baizi had no choice but to come forward again and hurried to the front hall.

He came before Zhao Guanxiang, and this time he did not even greet him, but asked directly: "The Ministry of Justice has already confirmed that I and my disciples are innocent, why are you here again, sir?"

Zhao Guanxiang came over with his hands behind his back and snorted, "I'm not here for what happened last time."

"What's the matter this time, sir?"

Zhao Guanxiang called over his servant, took a piece of paper and stood in front of Cang Baizi: "According to the informant's report, this Baiyun Temple colluded with a group of slave traders we were pursuing, kidnapped good people, kept slaves privately, and provided pleasure for the high officials in Kyoto. Is this true?"

The "private slave case" was indeed one of the several cases he was in charge of, but whether it was related to Baiyun Temple...

It doesn't matter, it will be related.

Cang Baizi's expression was blank, but his hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists.

And that "informer" who is not sure if he really exists? When did the Astronomical Survey become such a rogue?

The Taoists behind Cang Baizi shouted:
"Nonsense!"

"Slander, pure slander!"

"How could my Baiyun Temple, with its thousand-year heritage, do such a thing!"

Zhao Guanxiang laughed and said, "We'll know if there is any violation after we check it out!"

Cang Baizi stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency is using public affairs to settle personal grudges. You have been doing this time and again, and you have come to our temple to cause trouble without any basis. Aren't you afraid that I will go to the palace to file a complaint?"

"Without any basis?"

Zhao Guanxiang gave a playful smile: "Are you sure?"

After saying this, he strode towards the Sanqing Hall without waiting for his men to report.

This clear look of purpose made Cang Baizi's heart tremble instantly.

After Zhao Guanxiang entered the Sanqing Hall, he went straight to the statue and his eyes fell on the purple incense burner on the table.

He placed his hand on the incense burner, turned sideways to look at Cang Baizi, and gave a meaningful smile.

Cang Baizi's originally wooden expression now showed signs of struggle, and his expression became extremely strange.

He knows, He knows everything!

Someone witnessed all this through Cang Baizi's eyes and was so frightened that he almost lost control of Cang Baizi.

Cang Baizi secretly gathered his energy with the hand hidden in his sleeve, and a wisp of spiritual power overflowed from his palm.

Murderous intent...gradually arises.

But eventually, this spiritual power dissipated.

He did nothing and returned to his wooden expression again.

"Kakaka..."

Zhao Guanxiang still twisted the purple incense burner, and the dark room in the Sanqing Hall was opened.

All the members of the Astronomical Observatory around were shocked, especially the two servants beside Zhao Guanxiang.

They thought that the young tiger came to Baiyun Temple to cause trouble today just to vent his unhappiness from last time.

What so-called "informant"? He uses this excuse every time.

But when the door of the dark room slowly opened, everyone was shocked.

It turns out that the unfounded "informer" really exists? !

It turns out that the young tiger didn't come here to cause trouble today, but really got some clues? !
Zhao Guanxiang stretched out his finger, pointed at Cang Baizi, and his smile became somewhat playful.

He walked towards the dark room and said to his colleagues who were about to follow him in, "I will go in alone, you guys keep an eye on this old Taoist."

"Yes, my lord."

The people at the Astronomical Observatory had no doubts and immediately bowed their heads in response to the order.

Zhao Guanxiang glanced at Cang Baizi who was standing there, and seeing that he did not move, he stepped into the dark room.

……

It was pitch black in the dark room.

Zhao Guanxiang took out a tinderbox, blew it up and held it up.

The dark room was very small and could not accommodate more than three or five people. There was only an incense table.

Zhao Guanxiang used a fire stick to light the candlestick on the incense table. The faint candlelight illuminated the entire space and also illuminated the statue in the shrine above the incense table.

"what?!"

When Zhao Guanxiang raised his eyes, he was frightened by the strange statue in the shrine.

The statue was only the size of a palm, shaped like a fat-headed baby, with a baby-like body but sitting cross-legged like an old monk in meditation, with its chubby lotus-root-like hands placed on its knees with the palms facing up.

The baby statue looks like it was painted with a layer of gold paint, and its entire body is shining with golden light.

If you only look at these, the statue is quite adorable.

However, the body of this baby statue was covered with tumors and half of its face was collapsed, which was truly terrifying.

Just as Zhao Guanxiang was looking at it curiously, the baby statue, which had originally had its eyes closed, slowly opened its eyes, and a ray of golden light shot out from its eyes and hit his stomach squarely.
