The Taoists were dumbfounded.
Just now he said he wanted to keep it a secret, but so many people appeared in a blink of an eye, from all schools of thought.
This is still a fart.
Tomorrow, everyone in Chang'an City will definitely know about it.
Yuan Tiangang turned angrily and stared at the Lord Baiyun.
Master Baiyun said with a confused face: "Master, I, I... I really don't know... I don't know..."
Who leaked the news?
……
Chapter 216 Hurry Up, Little Martial Uncle
Baiyun Guanzhu really looked confused, it didn't seem like he was pretending.
Yuan Tiangang looked at the others again, sizing them up with scrutiny.
All the priests shook their heads.
Yuan Tiangang said angrily: "Who is it, who is it?"
No one spoke.
The Lord Baiyun looked at those guys who appeared out of nowhere, and asked anxiously: "Master, what should we do now?"
Kill these guys?
impossible!
If there are only a few people, just kill them.
But with so many people, once they are silenced, the imperial court will definitely notice. At that time, not only Baiyun Temple will have an accident, but it may also affect the Taoist sects of the world.
Yuan Tiangang pondered for a while, and said: "No matter where these people come from, immediately invite them to the Baiyun Temple to entertain them. I will explain to them in detail later, saying that the holy stone is the holy fire, isn't it?" Will-o'-the-wisp, give them some benefits and keep them secret..."
Everyone nodded: "That's the only way."
The Master Baiyun added: "As long as the mouths of these dozens of people are shut, the news will not leak out, Master, this disciple will do it now."
As he spoke, he hurried down with several temple masters and a group of disciples to negotiate with those people.
However, after less than a stick of incense, Temple Master Baiyun rushed back with a very ugly look on his face.
Yuan Tiangang saw it and asked, "Nephew, how is it going?"
The master of Baiyun Temple said with a pale face: "Uncle, the big thing is not good, I'm afraid this matter... is irreversible, I just talked to those people, they said that the news of the ghost fire appearing on the holy stone of Baiyun Temple has already spread. I've been all over Chang'an City..."
"What... what"
Yuan Tiangang couldn't stand firmly and almost fell down.
Everyone in Chang'an city knows?
Then keep your mouth shut!
All the Taoist priests around were out of their minds, feeling that a catastrophe was imminent.
Yuan Tiangang was silent, clenched his teeth, his lips were livid.
Guanzhu Baiyun and others surrounded him, looking at him expectantly.
After a while, Yuan Tiangang raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said: "Everyone, since the matter has been spread, we can't hide it. The top priority is that we must dispose of this holy stone as soon as possible, otherwise, we may wait until tomorrow. There will be more people coming to watch, at that time, Baiyun Temple will become a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats, this matter cannot be delayed any longer, this holy stone must be transported away tonight..."
shipped away?
The Taoist priests were all dumbfounded.
This holy stone is huge.
How difficult it is to transport it away.
The Master Baiyun asked: "Master, can't we just smash it into pieces?"
Yuan Tiangang shook his head: "This is a holy stone, which has existed for hundreds of years. It is a treasure of my Taoist sect. Now, the truth is unknown, so I have no choice but to transport it away. If the truth is found out in the future, I may have to transport it back. If it is smashed, it is really gone..."
The master of Baiyun wondered: "But... Uncle, this holy stone is too huge and cannot be transported away."
Yuan Tiangang said: "Hurry up and gather people to discuss how to transport the holy stone away."
The crowd quickly gathered and expressed their opinions one after another.
In fact, it is very simple to transport the holy stone, just three steps:
Tie up the boulder with rope.
Put it on the wagon.
Shipping to new location.
But it is very difficult to operate.
Below Yuan Tiangang, there are dozens of Taoist priests, all of whom are prominent figures in the Taoist sect. They got together and discussed for half an hour, but they couldn't come up with any good solution.
Yuan Tiangang has only one purpose, the holy stone cannot be damaged and must be preserved.
Faced with this request, everyone was helpless.
Seeing that so many people failed to come up with a feasible measure, Yuan Tiangang was extremely disappointed.
And there are more and more people watching outside.
The common people outside the city came here one after another, just to see the ghostly fire on the holy stone.
Yuan Tiangang was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the hall, looking up at the statue of Laojun in the center of the hall from time to time, and then sighed.
Suddenly, Yuan Tiangang slapped his thigh, turned around, and said to the Lord Baiyun: "Hurry up, send someone to invite your little uncle..."
The Master Baiyun asked in a daze: "Master, I don't know who you are talking about?"
Yuan Tiangang said angrily: "Of course it is the only descendant of our other branch, Chen Chu."
Chen Chu?
Everyone is too familiar with this person.
This person was born holding a pencil, and became a master of Taoism second only to Yuan Tiangang in seniority.
The Master Baiyun asked curiously: "Master Uncle, Uncle Chen Chu, he is still young, so many of us can't do anything about it, can he really do it?"
Yuan Tiangang said in a deep voice: "If he can't help it, no one in the world can do it that day. You, Uncle Chen Chu, are the first-class smart people in the world. You must find him for this matter."
"But, it's curfew now...he can't leave the city either!" someone said.
Yuan Tiangang thought for a while, "If that's the case, then I have to let the old man go there himself..."
Before the words fell, a little Taoist's voice suddenly sounded at the door: "Greetings to Master Uncle!"
Everyone turned their heads and saw a well-mannered young man in a blue gown walking in slowly.
"Senior brother!"
"Uncle Master!"
Yuan Tiangang and the Taoists shouted in unison.
Because, the person who walked in was Chen Chu who Yuan Tiangang was going to send someone to invite just now.
Who knew that Chen Chu came in person.
Yuan Tiangang stepped forward and asked curiously, "Junior Brother, why are you here?"
Chen Chu said with a smile: "Brother, at dusk, I heard that there was a will-o'-the-wisp on the boulder outside Baiyun Temple... Tianxia Daomen is a family, and I naturally want to rush to hear such sad news. Come and see, ghost fire, tsk tsk..."
Yuan Tiangang said embarrassingly: "Brother, those are all rumors, and the truth is unknown now."
Chen Chu chuckled: "Brother, it doesn't matter whether the truth is known or not, as long as the common people believe it."
Everyone nodded.
I think what Chen Chu said is reasonable.
Regardless of whether it is a will-o'-the-wisp or not, as long as the people believe in it, the Baiyun Temple will be over.
There is a will-o'-the-wisp on a majestic holy object, will anyone come to Baiyun Temple to offer incense and make a wish in the future?
Yuan Tiangang looked at Chen Chu and said, "Junior brother, to tell you the truth, I just discussed with everyone and decided to transport this holy stone away first, and then slowly verify the truth, but it must be transported away intact. , It’s really too difficult, I’m helpless, so I want to ask you to help, I never thought you would come here in person, what can you do?”
Chen Chu said, "Yes!"
Yuan Tiangang continued: "I know this is difficult, so you can think about it slowly... What, you think you have a way?"
Chen Chu nodded.
Yuan Tiangang was dumbfounded.
The priests were all dumbfounded.
Some people even vomit blood.
Chen Chu's two words hit them too hard.
They discussed it here again and again, but there was nothing they could do.
Chen Chu just showed up, so he said there is a way?
People are more mad than people!
……
Chapter 217 Come Prepared
The Lord of Baiyun Temple couldn't help but asked: "Uncle, do you really have a solution? Now, it is not an exaggeration to say that Baiyun Temple has reached the point of life and death. If the holy stone cannot be transported away tonight, I am afraid that many strange things will happen. Change, master uncle, don't lie to us, you missed a big deal!"
Chen Chu frowned.
How dare this guy question me?
He asked, "Who are you?"
The master of Baiyun temple said: "I am the master of Baiyun temple, Zhang Sifeng."
In his tone, there was not much respect for Chen Chu.
Zhang Sifeng was very old, a few years older than Yuan Tiangang, but he wanted to call Chen Chu his uncle, and he was already upset.
Chen Chu looked at the other party and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Zhang Sifeng shook his head: "This...not really."
Chen Chu sneered and said, "Then don't talk, just stay there."
"I……"
Zhang Sifeng was annoyed.
Although Chen Chu is of high seniority, he is only around twenty years old.
He didn't even give him face in public.
Outrageous!
He was just about to have an attack, but Yuan Tiangang reminded him displeasedly: "Nephew, the overall situation is the most important..."
Zhang Sifeng held back his anger.
But Chen Chu chuckled and said, "Brother, leave this matter to me. Before dawn, I will have someone transport the holy stone away, but I have one condition."
"Oh? What conditions?" Yuan Tiangang asked curiously.
Chen Chu said: "I plan to transport this holy stone to Chang'an City and place it near Chunming Gate..."
Yuan Tiangang suddenly remembered that Chen Chu had said that the newly built mansion was short of a gate, and that Chen Chu had also taken a fancy to the holy stone outside Baiyun Temple.
He looked at Chen Chu in surprise.
Suddenly something feels wrong.
But the Baiyun Temple next to him advocated Sifeng, but he couldn't wait to say: "Uncle Master, that's great...Let Uncle Master transport the holy stone away quickly."
He made eye contact with other Taoist priests.
