C20 Probing taoist temple

I suddenly stood up and saw that the room was completely dark. I called out Qing Qing's name in a low voice as I searched around the surroundings of the bed, but to no avail. Qing Qing didn't seem to be in the room.

Just as I was wondering where Qingqing was going, I heard hurried footsteps outside the door. There were two men's voices among them, and since they were so quiet, I couldn't quite make out what they were talking about.

But there are a few words I can hear clearly, 'It's not easy to deal with. You have to kill them. I only heard those words, but when it came to Qing Qing's disappearance, my heart skipped a beat.

Could the people in the temple be talking about Qing Qing and Aunt Caiyun?

In order to find out the truth, I quickly got up and slowly pushed open the door. I looked outside cautiously to confirm that there was no one else in the vicinity. Then, I walked out of the room and quickly went to Aunt Caiyun's room next door.

I reached out to knock on the door a few times, but found that it was unlatched and not dead. I panicked even more. It seemed that Aunt Caiyun was not in the room either. In order to confirm this point, I even went into the house and walked around. As expected, I didn't see a single person.

Aunt Caiyun's Dao arts were profound, and unless she met a strong opponent, she would not easily be captured. However, what I couldn't figure out was the process. If they were to fight in the room again, no matter how strong the opponent was, it would be impossible for them to not be able to think.

Unless... His opponent had lured Aunt Caiyun away.

As for Qing Qing, after listening to Caiyun's words, she probably hadn't slept at all. She either heard strange noises coming from outside or heard the weird sounds coming from the room next door, so she went out to check.

Otherwise, based on Qing Qing's personality, she would definitely have left without saying goodbye to me.

Of course, this is only my speculation. What exactly is the inner story behind it? I'm afraid that I'll have to find Qing Qing and Aunt Caiyun to figure it out.

Recalling the scream that woke me up, as well as the voices coming from outside the room, I quickly went through all of this in my mind. Finally I came to the conclusion that there was a black shop in the shop, and this monastery was also a black Taoist temple.

Even if I have to search the entire Taoist temple, I will definitely find you.

When they had arrived, there had been moonlight, but now, the entire temple had been covered by dark clouds, making it seem as if there were some extremely dark place where a bloodthirsty beast was hiding.

The insides of this temple are extremely large, and there are all sorts of tall buildings. I wasn't sure where these buildings were, nor did I know the exact locations of Qing Qing and her group, so I went in to check whenever I saw the door.

I tried my best to speed up my movements. Every time I entered a room to investigate, I didn't look for it myself. Instead, I listened for a bit and left without making any sound.

The reason I have that trust in Aunt Caiyun is because I believe that with her cultivation level, she won't be easily caught. As long as she fights with her opponent, there will be some ruckus.

It's really strange. I've been walking around the entire Taoist temple, yet I haven't even seen Qing Qing and Aunt Caiyun. I haven't even seen a cultivator from the Taoist temple.

I saw that there was a row of houses in the northwest corner, but they were relatively smaller. Compared to the other buildings, they seemed to be quite backward, probably left behind from when the Taoist temple was first built.

This row of houses was located in a very remote area. There was only a small path leading to it. On both sides of the path, there were all sorts of plants growing. Walking along this path, it gave one an extremely depressing feeling.

From time to time, some insects would chirp from the lush vegetation on both sides of the road, making the already oppressive atmosphere even more frightening. I didn't care that much as I kept on walking faster.

However, just as they were walking along the path, a cold voice suddenly came from behind, "Benefactor, you're not resting in your room in the middle of the night, why did you come to our temple's forbidden area?"

Although his voice was cold, it wasn't hard to tell from his tone that the speaker was someone from the monastery.

I hurriedly turned my head to check and saw a middle-aged man in a Daoist robe, about forty years old. I put my hands together and said, "I'm sorry, but because of the disappearance of my two companions, I accidentally broke into the temple's forbidden area. I hope Taoist can forgive me."

"The ignorant will not be blamed. Benefactor, please go back."

I've searched through more than half of the temple and I'm only missing this place. How can I leave so easily? What if Qing Qing and Aunt Caiyun are in this row of houses?

"Daoist Priest, it's not that I'm not willing to leave, but my two companions have gone missing together. If I can't find them, how can I make up my mind?" Before we knew the identity of the person in front of us, as well as what happened to Qing Qing and Aunt Caiyun, I didn't say anything rude.

"Are you two female patrons?"

Upon hearing the Taoist's words, I immediately said excitedly, "Yes, one of them is old and looks fierce while the other is young and very gentle. Taoist, have you seen them before? Quickly tell me, where did they go?"

"Sir, don't worry. Those two women are very good and did not encounter any danger. I believe they will return very soon." The Daoist spoke in an indifferent manner. In the end, he even gestured for them to enter and said, "This place is a forbidden area for the Daoist monastery. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."

I was very happy to hear your words, but if you think about them carefully, it's not hard to find that they are nonsense, just a few perfunctory words. If he really did know the whereabouts of Qing Qing and the others, why couldn't he take me to find them?

Besides, from the tone that the Taoist told me to leave, it sounded like he was in a hurry.

En, there is something wrong with this Taoist and there is something wrong with this Void Temple. Aunt Caiyun is indeed an old martial artist. She could already see the strangeness of this place before she even entered the Taoist temple. I cannot be dismissed like this. If I don't see Qing Qing and the others today, I won't leave.

Having made up my mind, I directly said to the Taoist, "I don't want to use words, or else I'll go to hell. I hope the Taoist can tell me what happened. Where did they go?"

When I said that last sentence, I even emphasized on the point of asking, "Where did your Taoist temple hide them? If you don't hand them over, I won't easily leave."

The Daoist heard the meaning behind my words and after a slight hesitation, he said, "Does Benefactor really wish to know? Alright, the two female patrons are in the row of houses, but the situation inside is a little … It's hard to accept, but you have to be prepared for it. "
