"I am a Taoist. The affairs of the world have nothing to do with me. I don't want to know, let alone care."
After Qinxian and others explained their intention, Taoist Master Kumu immediately rejected their request. The refusal was very straightforward. There is no room for maneuver at all!
What no one noticed was that when Master Kumu said this, a deep and strange light quickly passed through the depths of his eyes.
Hearing the words, Qinxian said softly: "Taoist Master is an expert outside the world, and we don't want to be disturbed by others. But don't worry, Taoist Master, we just want to use your Taoist temple to stay temporarily. As for investigating the robbery, If the Taoist priest doesn’t want to intervene, we won’t force it.”
Seeing Kumu's refusal so simply, Qinxian immediately understood what Yun Fan had just said. She knew that it would take a lot of effort to explain Kumu's participation in the war, so she had to settle for the next best thing for the time being.
Taoist priest Kumu: "..."
Seeing the reluctance of Taoist Master Kumu, he couldn't bear to die, so he said angrily: "People who practice Taoism should make things easier for others. You are so ruthless and unjust, be careful of retribution! Taoist Master!" "
Kumu naturally heard the meaning of Qiu Death's words. He slowly glanced sideways and glanced at Qiu Death, but did not say a word.
"Taoist Master," Ye Ruyan suddenly said: "Master and I also helped you pick that Ningzhixiang plant. Can you treat it as a favor and let my wife and the others stay here?"
They talked to each other one after another, as if it would be a big sin for him not to agree to this matter.
"That's all." Taoist Master Kumu was also a little impatient. He waved his hands and said, "I think I'm afraid of you. You can do whatever you want! However," Kumu suddenly changed the topic and said in a very solemn and serious tone. He said word for word: "Let me reiterate, you are not allowed to touch my alchemy furnace again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Master Kumu gave Qiu Death another stern look.
After all, it was because he wanted to die last time that he failed to make alchemy again and lost so many precious medicinal materials for no reason!
"Thank you, Taoist Priest!" Everyone was very happy to see the Taoist Priest agree, so they bowed one after another. If the Taoist Priest could agree to let them stay here, there would be hope for the matter.
"No need to be polite! Also," Kumu added: "You also need to find out about this matter as soon as possible. The sooner the better."
"Little apprentice!"
"yes."
"Prepare a wing for them."
"I understand, Master."
Immediately, the two young apprentices prepared to go their separate ways.
Dead Tree sighed quietly and said: "I don't have time to greet you, please help yourself."
After speaking, Master Kumu walked away without stopping.
Because he wants to continue to study his method of immortality.
Lin Yuqing looked at the somewhat funny Taoist Master Kumu and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "This Taoist Master Kumu is really a weirdo!"
At this time, the sky had darkened, and everyone was leaving and returning to their respective rooms.
Naturally, Qin Xian also wanted to leave.
When she followed one of the disciples out and came to the door. At this time, a breeze blew in his face, and Qin Xian suddenly smelled an unusually familiar fragrance.
Yes, she was sure that she had smelled this fragrance before.
Qinxian couldn't help but stop, and suddenly remembered in her mind, wasn't this the smell she had smelled at the escort scene before?
Qin Xian stared in the direction from which the scent came, and suddenly saw two potted plants with excellent growth placed by the window at the door.
She sniffed lightly with the tip of her nose and thought to herself: It's true! The fragrance seems to be emanating from here.
The unique fragrance emanating from it was the same as what she smelled at the scene of Canghai Nuanyu's robbery. Is this just a coincidence?
No, she never believed that this was just a coincidence!
Suddenly, she couldn't help but have a bold speculation in her heart: Could it be that... the robber who robbed Canghai Nuanyu was in this Taoist temple!
But she knew in her heart that this was not enough. After all, the matter was so important that she had to be cautious and verify it carefully.
"Little Master," thinking of this, Qin Xian stopped the little Taoist priest and asked calmly: "The fragrance of this flower is so special, what kind of flower is it?"
"This is Tianshan spiritual grass. Master brought it back from the Western Regions specially to make elixirs and medicines."
Qinxian nodded lightly: "So, the Tianshan spiritual grass is only found here?"
"yes!"
After receiving the affirmative reply from this young disciple, Qin Xian was immediately more sure of the bold guess in his heart.
Immediately, she followed the little Taoist priest and left as if nothing had happened.
But Yun Fan could hear the conversation between them clearly.
After all, he didn't leave at this time.
Yun Fan noticed this detail very keenly. He stared deeply at the pot of Tianshan spiritual grass and did not move away for a long time... He was also full of doubts.
It was late at night, when the night was quiet, a bright moon was in the sky, and the bright moonlight poured down, and the earth seemed to be covered with a layer of ethereal and dreamlike fantasy beauty.
At this time, Qinxian still didn't fall asleep. She was pacing back and forth in the pavilion in the backyard full of thoughts, still thinking about what happened during the day.
Although I have determined in my heart that the robber who robbed Canghai Nuan Jade is hiding in this Taoist temple, in other words, the robber is one of the three Taoist priests!
Moreover, according to the conclusion they reached at that time, the robber had great martial arts skills. Among the other three Taoist priests in this Taoist temple, excluding themselves, there was no doubt that the one with the highest martial arts skills was Taoist Master Kumu. This is Zheng Qidao they are looking for!
In this way, there is only one person who meets this condition - Taoist Master Kumu!
In other words, Taoist Master Kumu is likely to be the robber!
However, all this is just her speculation. Although it is very logical, there is no concrete evidence. Therefore, she did not act rashly, nor did she alarm anyone.
When she thought of this, a new question suddenly arose. What did Master Kumu want to do in robbing Canghai Nuanyu? And why did he go to such trouble to snatch the jade?
All kinds of problems came one after another and were unresolved, which made her feel like a ray of light on her back, which was very uncomfortable!
Qin Xian can't figure out the connection!
For this reason, she couldn't sleep from night until late at night.
At this moment, Yun Fan arrived here.
It can be said that Yun Fan came to see her specially.
"Mrs. Lin," Yun Fan called.
Qinxian turned his back to him, as if he didn't hear him, and didn't respond.
"Mrs. Lin!" Yun Fan shouted again, this time the decibel level of his voice increased by several points.
Hearing someone calling her, Qin Xian suddenly turned her head and saw Yun Fan walking slowly towards her.
"Master Yun."
Qinxian called out softly.
When he came to her, Yun Fan stopped, stood there, and asked, "Are you still thinking about the Tianshan spiritual grass?"
"how do you know?"
Yun Fan said slowly: "When you asked the little Taoist priest just now, I happened to notice it."
Qin Xian smiled slightly and praised: "It's the divine appearance after all. Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your eyes!"
"That's not necessarily the case," Yun Fan sighed quietly and said meaningfully: "Actually, there are still many things that I still can't figure out."
Having said this, he quickly glanced at Qin Xian again, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.
In fact, what Yun Fan wanted to express was very clear, and he obviously meant something else.
It refers to things related to Qin Xian himself. For example, even though many years have passed, Yun Fan has not figured out what happened between Yun Fan and her back then.
Sure enough, the word love is the most difficult thing to understand in the world. Even after so many years, he still couldn't completely let go.
But it's a pity that at this moment, Qin Xian's mind is full of matters about Tianshan Spirit Grass and Jie Dart. She is in the middle of the game and is a fan of the authorities. How can she understand the meaning of Yun Fan's words?
Yun Fan glanced at Qin Xian's reaction. Qin Xian didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words at all, and was still thinking about the problem just now. This undoubtedly made him a little disappointed, even though now he has completely let go of his inappropriate thoughts about Qin Xian.
He paused slightly and then said: "It's like...why are you so interested in Tianshan spiritual grass?"
Qinxian did not answer directly, but asked: "I wonder if you still remember that I asked you at the escort scene today, did you smell a very special fragrance?"
"I remember."
Qin Xian walked slowly for a few steps and continued: "At that time, I smelled a kind of grass smell mixed with a hint of sandalwood, and the smell was refreshing. The Tianshan spiritual grass that was just in the main hall exuded the same scent as Exactly the same scent.”
"you mean……"
"Think about it, the little Taoist said that the Tianshan spiritual grass was transplanted from the Western Regions. It is very rare and can only be found in this Taoist temple." Qin Xian slowly stated his discovery.
At this point, Qinxian seemed to feel that there was no need to continue talking, because she believed that with her little guidance, Yunfan would understand it immediately with his intelligence.
After all, the meaning behind her words was already very obvious, and the answer was almost ready to come out.
Hearing this, Yun Fan instantly understood the meaning of her words and suddenly said: "The smell left at the scene of the missing escort is related to the masked man. The masked man who robbed the escort is a Taoist man!?"
"As far as I know, in the Taoist temple, there is only one person with the best martial arts skills..."
Yun Fan was slightly startled and said: "Is it Taoist Kumu!?"
"I'm not sure, but judging from the current situation, it is indeed possible!" Immediately, Qin Xian changed the topic and asked doubtfully: "But I really can't figure out why Taoist Kumu must get this jade?"
Yun Fan was non-committal and said in a positive tone: "Taoist Kumu is definitely not the kind of person who is greedy for money. Even if this matter is really his doing, I believe there must be other reasons."
Qin Xian also nodded: "So before I have real evidence, I don't want to alert others, so as not to unjustly accuse good people."
"Then only you and I know about this matter."
Qinxian added: "And it must be done in secret. No one else can know until the matter comes to light and the truth is revealed."
At this moment, in the same place, in another secret place in this Taoist temple.
A middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest took out an exquisite brocade box from a very secret compartment in his secret room, opened it in the dim candlelight, and took out a piece of white and greenish color the size of an adult's palm. The round jade!
It is Canghai Nuanyu!
Looking at the Canghai Warm Jade in his hand that was all shiny, bright and emitting green light under the dim candlelight, the middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest couldn't help but reveal a greedy smile on his lips.
And through the weak and dim candlelight, his strange smiling face also emerged, and it became increasingly clear!
Astonishingly, it is the rightful owner of this Taoist temple - Taoist Kumu!
