Those who were immobilized in the Guanyin Hall of Songzi gradually regained consciousness, but after questioning, they didn’t know what happened.
They only felt that one second they were still burning incense, and the next second their eyes became completely dark.
Huixin's face became increasingly ugly. At this time, all the major entrances and exits of Hanshan Temple had been sealed, and the monks were checking everyone one after another.
A Buddha statue weighing several hundred kilograms was stolen in front of your eyes. This is really a big deal. The most important thing is that the thief was not even caught.
Qin Bai waited for half a stick of incense. Seeing that the matter was endless, he said: "Master Hui Xin, after all, there are still many miscellaneous things in Gusu City, it's almost time for us to leave."
Magistrate Xu opened his mouth and thought to himself, "You have said everything I should say." But thinking about the other party's methods, he wisely shut up.
Huixin's eyes swept over everyone present, and finally landed on Qin Bai, and nodded after a while.
"After all, if such a big thing happened in Hanshan Temple, I won't send it away."
"If we can't find the outside thief, Master Hui Xin, do you think it could be..." Qin Bai stood up and left after leaving these words.
Huixin's eyes narrowed, wondering what she was thinking.
Magistrate Xu and others walked towards the outside of the temple without any obstruction, and no monk stepped forward to stop them.
After leaving Hanshan Temple, it was already past afternoon. When Qin Bai reached the mountain road, he turned around and glanced at the brightly lit temple behind him, with an unpredictable smile on his face.
Hanshan Temple has gradually begun to release wandering believers, after all, there are too many people involved.
Zhiqiu Yiye took a long breath, he and Fu Qingfeng looked at each other, and they both pinched their shoulders at the same time.
When the team approached Gusu City, Magistrate Xu hesitated and asked, "Qin Juren, what is going on today?"
Qin Bai said with a smile: "Can't you see that the Buddha statue grew its legs and ran away?"
This was half true and half false, but County Magistrate Xu believed most of it. A gust of cool wind blew on his body, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Magistrate Xu did not dare to ask any more questions. He knew that there were ghosts and gods involved, so the less he knew, the better.
The speed on the road was not very fast, and by the time a group of people arrived in the city, it was getting dark.
After Qin Bai returned to the county government, he said hello and sneaked out of Gusu City with Zhiqiu Yiye, unknown to where he went.
When Wei Lianzhang learned about what happened at Hanshan Temple from County Magistrate Xu, he did not believe the theory that the Buddha statue had grown legs and ran away on its own.
Based on his understanding of Qin Bai, he must have done this, although he didn't know how the other party did it.
This also made Wei Lianzhang very curious. He simply went to Fu Qingfeng to ask, but he never expected that this would be the case.
One link after another, it can be said that as long as there is a slight mistake, the whole game will be lost immediately, which surprised him even more about Qin Bai's courage.
At this time, Qin Bai had already rushed to the mountains of Hanshan. He did not need to search deliberately. He just made some noise and Zuo Qianhu had already found him.
Zuo Qianhu was a little dissatisfied with Qin Bai's sudden appearance. He put his right hand on the lancet at his waist and said nothing, waiting for the other party's explanation.
"General Zuo, let your soldiers evacuate as much as possible. The next movement may be quite big and it will attract the monks from Hanshan Temple."
"What did you do?" Zuo Qianhu frowned, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed when his arrangements were completely wiped out with just one sentence.
Qin Bai and Zhiqiu Yiye looked at each other and said, "I brought the Buddha statue from Hanshan Temple. As expected, there are demons inside."
Hearing this, Zuo Qianhu didn't hesitate at all. He put his fingers in his mouth to imitate bird calls, and sounds appeared in the bushes everywhere in response.
“Where is the Buddha statue?”
Zhiqiu Yiye said with a headache: "How are you going to get this ghost thing up? You must also agree first. With my level of cultivation, it is unrealistic to escape with hundreds of kilograms of heavy objects."
"Don't worry, I have the means." Qin Bai took out the rice fishing rod. This time he had thought it through enough.
Zuo Qianhu looked at Qin Bai and asked, "There are many monks in Hanshan Temple. How did you do it?"
Qin Bai couldn't help laughing.
If you want to steal the Buddha statue in broad daylight, the most important thing is to have one person cooperate with Zhiqiu Yiye to use earth escape to bury the Buddha statue underground without attracting the attention of the monks.
So Qin Bai had prepared Zhiqiu Yiye for the golden cicada to escape from the very beginning.
He used human skin clothing techniques to make a fake body. The material was human skin obtained from Wang Dahu's mansion. The fake body was almost identical in appearance to Zhiqiu Yiye.
Therefore, the most critical person in this operation is not Qin Bai, but Zhiqiu Yiye.
When the two groups come into contact for the first time, Hui Xin will be more attentive and is likely to spot the flaws in the fake body.
This also makes it known that Qiu Yiye must find an opportunity to escape underground on the way from the temple entrance to the side hall, and release the human skin fake body.
Fortunately, he caught it, and just when Huixin and Qin Bai entered the side hall, the carefully prepared Zhiqiu Yiye completed the golden cicada's escape in an instant.
Zuo Qianhu couldn't help but said: "No, this human skin fake body must have control methods. How could Hui Xin not see the traces of the magic when they are in the same room."
"I'm not using magic."
Qin Bai opened his palm, and a paper spider appeared in his palm, with almost transparent and invisible spider silk wrapped around its limbs.
The human skin dummy is controlled by paper spiders from beginning to end. Spider silk is not considered a magic spell, so how could it be detected.
Fu Qingfeng is also crucial. As a woman, she has a natural advantage. No matter how closely the monk monitors her, she cannot follow him even when he goes to the toilet.
Knowing that Qiu Yiye had been waiting in the women's restroom for a long time, the two of them went directly to the Guanyin Hall through Earth Escape.
With the help of the paper man, the Buddha statue can be divided very quickly without making much noise.
But every secret must be sparse. Zhi Qiu Yiye spent a lot of energy to bury the Buddha statue in the soil, but his own energy was almost exhausted when he returned Fu Qingfeng to the original place. He wanted to escape from the confines of Hanshan Temple. Totally impossible.
With no other choice, he had to return to the vicinity of the Guanyin Hall to hide.
After Fu Qingfeng returned to the side hall, she immediately reminded Qin Bai with a small code gesture, and the latter proposed to Huixin to send his son off to the Guanyin Hall.
Qin Bai took advantage of the chaos and brought Zhiqiu Yiye back in the name of a government official going to search for criminals outside the palace.
"Now there is only the last step left, which is to get the Buddha statue out of the ground, and it must be solved in a short time. If it exceeds half a stick of incense, we will give up for the time being."
"good."
Zuo Qianhu couldn't help but glance at Qin Bai. Although he didn't know how many demons there were in Hanshan Temple, if one could be killed in advance, this would be an opportunity to change the situation of the war.
The three of them approached the temple. At this time, Huixin in Hanshan Temple had also reacted.
