On the second day, Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya went to Qianku Temple early.
Li Shangjing wanted them to take another break.
But thinking of what Yang Lian said before she died, the two of them did not dare to delay.
Seeing this, Li Shangjing instructed the two of them to bring the sealed jade tablet of the Cansheng Empress and the string of flowing beads from the Changsheng Heaven.
Liang Jiunan naturally understood the intention, which was to see Taoist Priest Yunhe's reaction when he presented the things.
After all... although the possibility is extremely small, there is still a little suspicion, just to be safe.
…
After a while, the two came to the gate of Qianku Temple.
The little Taoist priests were sweeping there as always.
Perhaps it was because it was too early for the morning lessons, but the little Taoist priests still looked a little sleepy one by one.
"Nine Difficulties, let's ask a little Taoist priest." Yu Langya suggested: "After all, we are here to meet Taoist Master Yunhe. No matter what, we must not lose our etiquette!"
Liang Jiunan nodded, glanced around, and suddenly saw a little Taoist priest standing there sleeping with a broom next to him.
This Taoist priest was also an acquaintance. He was the one who had taken them to the Cansheng Empress Temple.
With the intention of teasing, Liang Jiunan quietly walked to the path and shouted into his ear: "Taoist Master Yunhe is here!"
The little Taoist priest suddenly woke up and knelt down with a familiar plop: "Master, I don't dare to do it anymore!"
On the side, Jade Langya "thumped" with joy.
Even the other little Taoist priests were smiling secretly.
The little Taoist priest blinked, and then he saw Liang Jiunan standing there with a smile, and couldn't help but:
"Oh, it turns out they are two adults."
"I was scared to death. I thought Master was coming to see me again."
With that said, the little Taoist priest rubbed his knees and stood up.
Liang Jiunan raised his hands and said, "I have never asked about my name before. What is your Taoist friend's last name?"
"I am nameless, adopted by Master, and given the Taoist name Miaoxin." Little Taoist priest Miaoxin casually scratched his back with a whisk: "You two adults... are not here to worship the Cansheng Empress Temple again. Bar!"
Liang Jiunan waved his hand: "Come today to see my master, Taoist Master Yunhe."
"Oh" Miao Xin rolled her eyes and immediately said with a smile: "That doesn't make any difference. Master, he is doing a ritual at the Cansheng Empress Temple today. Come with me and I will take you there."
Liang Jiunan couldn't help but roll his eyes. How could he not see that this was an excuse to be lazy, but he didn't expose it.
As the three of them walked along, Miaoxin explained:
"Occasionally, a wealthy family will come to Queen Cansheng to perform rituals because their child died in infancy."
"Every time, Master is responsible for this matter."
"What a coincidence, the old lady of the Pei family is here today."
"After all... everyone in Yangzhou City knows about Master Pei now."
As soon as these words came out, Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya looked at each other.
The old lady of the Pei family?
Yu Langya said quietly:
"Nine difficulties, speaking of which... there was the New Year's Eve Dharma gathering and our night visit to the Pei family."
"Even when Master Pei Ji and Mistress Pei died, this old lady never showed up."
Liang Jiunan was also a little surprised.
When they checked the files in the Demon-Conquering Department, they naturally found information about this old lady.
The old lady is also a member of the Pei clan, and is the first wife, named Pei Liangyu.
Later, when Pei Ji asked for a family separation, Pei Liangyu risked the reputation of being criticized and forcibly separated from Pei Ji's father and followed Pei Ji to live in Yangzhou City.
When she first came here, Mrs. Pei got to know the local officials and chamberlains a little, and her reputation was not bad.
But within half a year, Mrs. Pei began to stay in her own house and didn't go out much.
As for the management of the inner house, Mrs. Pei did not interfere, leaving it to the then mistress Pei herself to take charge.
Such an old immortal who never leaves home suddenly comes here to perform a ritual?
Just when the two were wondering, the little Taoist priest Miaoxin had already led them to the Cansheng Empress Temple.
Not far away, I heard the sound of Dharma music. It was Taoist Master Yunhe with his hair spread out and sword in hand, doing something.
"It's a bit far here, so I can't see clearly." Yu Langya frowned.
Liang Jiunan was also helpless: "But if you get too close and interfere with the ritual, Mrs. Pei will definitely be blamed. This is inappropriate."
The little Taoist priest Miaoxin poked Liang Jiunan's arm and whispered, "What's the problem? You two adults, come with me!"
As he said this, the little Taoist priest, who was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, led the two of them to a towering tree with a tiger's eye and climbed to the top of the tree in three strokes, five divided by two.
"Two adults, you will know when you come up and take a look!"
Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya smiled dumbly and followed closely.
Sure enough, from the top of the tree, you can see the situation inside the small temple.
Facing Empress Cansheng was an old woman, dressed elegantly and luxuriously, which matched the style of the Pei family.
At this time, she lowered her head silently and was following Taoist Yunhe in reciting scriptures.
However, what is a little surprising is that Mrs. Pei did not bring the wives and concubines in the mansion with her, but came alone.
Even... not even a servant was brought with him.
This surprised the two of them.
…
After about a stick of incense, the ritual was over, and Mrs. Pei stood up silently, as if she had said something to Taoist Yunhe.
Taoist Priest Yunhe's expression was hesitant to speak, but he still nodded, and immediately sent the Taoist priest next to him to send him away.
Then, with a straight face, Taoist Master Yun He slowly came to the big tree where Liang Jiunan and the others were hiding.
"How come the two masters of the Demon-Conquering Division are fooling around like my scoundrels?" Taoist Priest Yunhe looked helpless.
The little Taoist priest Miaoxin jumped down quickly and said with a guilty conscience: "Master, I..."
"Kneel down and go!" Taoist Master Yun He gently tapped Miao Xin's head with a whisk. Although he was blaming her, there was a smile in his eyes.
Miao Xin covered her head and ran away with a smile on her face without begging for mercy.
Liang Jiunan saw this and raised his hands:
"Taoist Master, don't blame him, because it's related to the infant ghost case, and we are a little anxious."
"I came here this time to ask the Taoist Priest about something."
"Taoist Master, please take a look."
With that said, Liang Jiunan took out the jade tablets and Liuzhu belonging to Empress Cansheng.
On the side, Yu Langya was also staring at the expression of Taoist Yunhe.
But Taoist Master Yunhe just looked confused and said, "You two...when did you ask for the jade plaque? What is this flowing bead?"
When Liang Jiunan saw this, he spoke frankly and told the truth about his purpose of coming.
After hearing this, Taoist Master Yunhe was also shocked.
"Is there such a thing as turning a human into a god?"
"This method is too sensational!"
"Sin, sin, sin!"
"Pindao never thought that the jade token coming out of Qianku Temple would actually..."
"well……"
Liang Jiunan couldn't help but said: "Taoist Master, so... do you know who the supplier of this jade tablet is?"
Taoist priest Yunhe showed a wry smile:
"Actually... you have met the supplier just now."
"This jade token... was sent by Mrs. Pei from the very beginning!"
