After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

In the past few days, Yuan Qi has been setting up a stall under the big locust tree on Tianshui Street. Every day she meets people passing by holding the statue of Sanqing. Every time she sees her, she secretly destroys the formation in the statue that attracts people's faith.

I just didn't expect that Yuan Qi's little move would be seen by one of Kong Qing's apprentices, and the apprentice told Kong Qing about it.

Because Tianshui Street was bustling with people coming and going, Yuan Qi didn't notice it.

In an extremely secret Taoist room, Kong Qingting looked at the neatly arranged dolls on the stone steps with a livid face. Each of them had a fierce ghost sealed inside. He had finally collected these ghosts.

He stared at one of the dolls with evil eyes: "She has repeatedly ruined my important affairs, so this person cannot be kept. How is the practice with His Highness the Fifth Prince and Xiang Lilin?"

The little Taoist priest replied: "I'm still practicing the first level. It will take at least half a year to complete the task. Master, why don't you send a few fierce ghosts out to deal with her?"

Kong Qing glanced at the little Taoist priest with dissatisfaction: "She could easily deal with the water ghosts the year before last. What do you think a few fierce ghosts can do to her? Let alone a few, even if hundreds or thousands of fierce ghosts are sent out, she will have five thunders at once. The talisman can kill these evil spirits cleanly."

The little Taoist priest was also worried: "Master, we can't just watch her make trouble, right? It would be great if we could let her leave Kyoto for a while."

Kong Qing is very irritable. Recently, many things have encountered obstacles and are very unsatisfactory.

Several steps were also built on the other side of the Taoist chamber, and there were statues of gods with strange smiles on them. They were exactly the same as the statues carried away by the pilgrims. There were many of them, hundreds at least.

Kong Qing said helplessly: "Tell the people who asked for the statue that they can only go west after leaving Wuji Palace. If they go east, the gods will not bless them."

In this way, Yuan Qi can be avoided.

He has big things to do now, and he doesn't want to break up with Yuan Qi yet, so he can only tolerate it for the time being.

After Yuan Qi calculated the three hexagrams and was about to close the stall, he saw a man holding a statue of Sanqing passing by her in three steps and kowtowing. He felt uncomfortable.

Although she doesn't like to be nosy, she has a problem. Others ignore her existence and make trouble just to provoke her.

She decided to go to Wuji Palace to have a look.

Wuji Palace is not far away, just a short walk away.

The Taoist priests all dressed up similarly, with blue robes trimmed with white borders. When Yuan Qi entered the Wuji Palace, no one suspected that she was not from the Wuji Palace. There were even Taoist priests from the Wuji Palace who greeted her, and she pretended to give them a reply. Dao Li is to prevent others from doubting her. There were several paper figures in her cloth bag, but she discovered that there was a formation in Wuji Palace, and if she released the paper figures, she might be discovered.

After much deliberation, she decided to take a look around. The Taoist robes she wore were very similar to those of Wuji Palace. You couldn't tell the difference without looking carefully.

Wuji Palace is magnificent, much more powerful than Fusang Temple.

Looking around, there are several main halls scattered in a triangular shape, with Taoist priests wearing Taoist buns and blue robes standing everywhere.

There was an endless stream of believers in Sanqing Hall, including men, women, old and young. They all knelt down and prayed devoutly and muttered words. Among them were richly dressed dignitaries and their family members.

Yuan Qi secretly wondered how much money Wuji Palace could collect for sesame oil in a day, and whether the statue of the Patriarch was made of pure gold.

How many Taoist priests have orders here, and how many rituals of woodcutter and ghost hunting can be carried out by Wuji Palace every month.

She was very curious about all this, and even wondered how much money the Taoist priests of Wuji Palace could get every month.

After walking around for a while, several Taoist priests greeted Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi simply regarded himself as a person from Wuji Palace, walked around Sanqing Palace and walked to the back.

In addition to the three larger palaces, Wuji Palace also has many smaller buildings with only two floors, with flying eaves and walls, and the architectural style is very obvious.

There were very few pilgrims behind, and most of them were Taoist priests from Wuji Palace. According to the general layout of Taoist temples, the management office of the Taoist temple will be on the central axis of the Taoist temple, directly facing the Sanqing Hall. This arrangement is mainly to facilitate the timely finding of the person in charge if there is anything ahead.

Yuan Qi looked over there. There were several Taoist priests guarding the door. It looked like it was difficult to get close. She followed Ji and walked behind a tree. While there was no one around, she took out the invisibility charm and stuck it on her body. Go that way.

Because it was summer and the weather was hot, the doors and windows of this palace were closed tightly at noon, making it inconvenient for Yuan Qi to sneak in.

Fortunately, just when she was about to cast a spell to make a gust of wind blow open the door, someone brought food.

She followed in naturally.

There are ice cubes placed in the hall. As soon as you enter the room, you will feel the cold air blowing against your face, which is very comfortable.

Does the Patriarch know that he enjoys it so much?

She didn't see the ice cubes in the Sanqing Hall in front of her just now.

There was only one middle-aged Taoist priest in the main hall, it was Kong Qing.

Yuan Qi immediately guessed that this person was Kong Qing. Shenxun had seen Kong Qing before. Kong Qing's obvious characteristics were that his eyebrows were very thick, his eyes were a bit small, and he was very thin.

"Master, let's eat."

Kong Qing held a book in his hand without raising his head: "Put it down."

The little Taoist priest set out the food and left.

Yuan Qi stared at the food and wanted to add some narcotics to it, but unfortunately she didn't have the habit of carrying narcotics with her, so this time it was a waste.

Kong Qing was very keen. He noticed the flow of air but couldn't see anyone, so he became vigilant.

Yuan Qi noticed the wariness in the other person's eyes and did not dare to be careless. Then he held his breath and moved slowly, not daring to walk around recklessly.

After observing carefully for a moment, Kong Qing didn't notice anything was wrong, so he put down the book in his hand and walked to the table to eat.

Yuan Qi slowly walked over to read the book and found that it was actually about Zhongshengji.

She twitched the corner of her mouth, feeling that Kong Qing was really not a good thing. He actually studied this kind of evil magic, and she didn't know whose life, vitality and luck he wanted to take away.

She walked around the house very carefully and found that there was nothing wrong with all the furnishings, and the scriptures were all common in Taoism. The only scripture that records harmful techniques is the one Kong Qing was reading just now.

She felt that there must be something she hadn't discovered, so she searched carefully in the room again, and sure enough she found something wrong with a bookshelf. There was an inkstone on the bookshelf, and she couldn't move it with her hand. She thought it was the mechanism of the secret room. .

At this time, Kong Qing finished his meal and called his young apprentice to take it away.

Kong Qing continued to pick up the book and study it, and said to himself: "Is it possible to do this to steal a person's purple energy?"

Yuan Qi didn't dare to get too close. Although Kong Qing's cultivation was far inferior to hers, it was better to stay far away to be on the safe side. She was waiting at the door of the secret room.

Kong Qing studied for a long time but didn't understand it very well, so he walked to the door of the secret room and twisted the inkstone.

Sure enough, the bookshelf was moved away.
