Chapter 653 Unexpected
When Taoist Yongfang was embarrassed, he quickly briefly selected the important things and told Taoist Yongsheng about it.
After figuring out the whole story of the matter, the dissatisfaction in Taoist Yongqian dissipated a lot. Fang Shi and Monk Fayan did this matter correctly. Their purpose was to give Qixiaguan a chance to clarify.
"Since that's the case, I will immediately follow Elder Fang's request and ask Master Fayan for help."
Monk Fayan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I am unavoidable."
Taoist Yongqian's decision was favored by Fang Shi: "Master Taoist, please arrange this matter immediately. Then, I need to meet these personnel one by one for screening. At that time, please cooperate with Taoist Yongfang and Taoist Yongqian."
“This is nature.”
Taoist Yongqi and Taoist Yongfang immediately agreed, which was necessary.
However, Taoist Yongsheng immediately thought of a question: "It's just... Senior brother, what should I do if I borrow the guests here?"
Fang Shi narrowed his eyes, and Monk Fayan's eyes suddenly widened. There was a guest? Why didn't Qixiaguan say it before? At this time, Taoist Yongqi suddenly asked, as if he wanted to clear it up!
Fang Shi asked: "What guest?"
The Taoist Yongfang said: "It is the elder Taoist Yuanhui and his disciples of the Shangqing Palace in Nanyue."
Fang Shi frowned: "Nanyue Shangqing Palace? What did they come to Pengcheng for?"
"Come to visit the environmental consultation meeting and communicate with me from various departments in Guangdong."
"Why didn't you hear the Taoist priest talk about it before?"
Taoist Yongfang said a little embarrassedly: "This matter was only raised after they arrived. Nanyue Shangqing Palace and I, Qixia Temple, have always had close contacts. Speaking of which, we are all from Shangqing."
Fang Shi glanced at Monk Fayan. Both of them understood. Qixiaguan was not an honest person. Otherwise, they would not have come here to open a branch soon after the city was built in Pengcheng. It is obvious that Nanyue Shangqing Palace is a foreign aid of Qixiaguan and a strategic partner for the future development of Qixiaguan. Therefore, the in-depth exchanges between them did not want all schools in Guangdong to know about it.
Now the Taoist Yongqian suddenly pushed out the Shangqing Palace in Nanyue because it could not be hidden. At the same time, they were also worried. Will this matter be related to Shangqing Palace.
"Then let's invite this Taoist priest Yuanhui to come here to see you."
Fang Shi did not further investigate Qixia Temple's small movements. It was completely unnecessary and there was no meaning to Fang Shi, so he would not get involved. However, Monk Fayan's face was not very good-looking, and Taoist Yongfang was a little sarcastic. However, Taoist Yongsheng maintained a normal mind. Sure enough, this person was the commander of Qixia Temple in charge of Pengcheng affairs.
Taoist Yongfang glanced at Taoist Yongqi. Taoist Yongqi attracted a young Taoist priest. The little Taoist had been secretly looking at the Xia sisters just now. He was shouted by Taoist Yongqi before he quickly ran up to answer his order.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside the side door. Fang Shi was a little strange. Two people came. If one was a Taoist priest who had just been looking for someone, and the other was a Taoist Yuanhui or his apprentice, then what about the other?
The Taoist Yuanhui was wearing a very ordinary casual outfit and didn't look like a Taoist at all, but more like an ordinary old man. However, his sharp eyes made him look extraordinary.
As soon as he entered the door, he spoke anxiously without waiting for Taoist Yongqi to speak. After he spoke, he quickly glanced at the people in the lobby:
"Fellow Daoist Yongsheng, Fellow Daoist Yongfang, my disciple went out last night and has not come back yet. I can't contact you by phone. I don't know if something will happen... Oh, it turns out that there are still distinguished guests, so I'm really rude. I wonder if these people are..."
Fang Shi raised his eyebrows lightly, and Monk Fayan frowned. The Xia sisters stood up quickly, after all, the visitor was an elder.
Taoist Yongfang quickly introduced: "This is Master Fayan, the precept monk of Guangfa Temple, this is the elder Fang Shifang of Qingcheng Mountain. These two girls Xia are the rising stars of Qingcheng Mountain and the leader of the younger generation. This is the Taoist priest Yuanhui of the elder Shangqing Palace of Hengshan, Nanyue."
"It turned out that Elder Fang was in front of him. Xiaodao had long wanted to visit Elder Fang. Fortunately, I would like to meet him."
“Good courtesy!”
"The elder of Yuanhui is polite." The sisters of the Xia family also followed Fang Shi to salute the Yuanhui Taoist, and the Yuanhui Taoist returned the gifts one by one.
"Ami Head Buddha, I have long admired the name of the elder Yuan Cheng. I heard that the elder Yuan Cheng is proficient in Fengshui techniques. If I have time, I will ask the elder to go up the mountain to preach and let us listen to the teachings."
"I dare not, I dare not, I have heard the name of the precepts monk in Guangfa Temple for a long time. The master is profound in Buddhism. I also ask the master to give me advice, haha..."
After everyone exchanged greetings, they sat down again. Xia Yuyao had basically zero experience in welcoming and seeing off. She followed Fang Shi to Guanzhong before and learned some etiquette. Fortunately, she had a sister around her. As long as she followed her likes, she would not have to worry about being rude.
After everyone sat down, Xia Yuxin sat down slowly. Xia Yuyao quickly sat down. Looking at the elder Yuan Cheng who was bright and bright, Xia Yuyao felt very strange. Wasn't he still anxious about the disappearance of his disciple just now? Why aren't he in a hurry now?
The elder of the Yuanshu really didn't seem to be in a hurry. Fang Shi and Taoist Yongfang seemed to have not heard the anxious question from the elder of the Yuanshu just now. Both sides were talking nonsense. Fang Shi even brought the topic to why Zhang Daoling went to Hengshan but left again. In the end, the Shangqing Sect got such a huge foundation as Zhuling Cave Heaven in Hengshan.
Xia Yuyao was a little anxious when she heard this. Did she come hurriedly just to have tea and chat? She couldn't help but look at her sister and found that Xia Yuxin was listening to them chatting attentively, as if she was also interested in this topic. Xia Yuyao pursed her lips and found that she still didn't like these virtual social interactions.
She felt that the magic of numerology and the mystery of nature seemed to attract her more. No matter how good it was, exploration and adventure seemed to be very exciting. Of course, it would be better if she was with Fang Shi. At least she felt at ease. Her cheeks became a little hot. Xia Yuxin peeked at her side with some sense of consciousness and found that her sister was smiling at Fang Shi. This girl didn't look at the occasion and said she didn't like Fang Shi, who was cheating!
After chatting for a long time, Taoist Yuanhui finally brought the topic back to the main topic: "Elder Fang, everyone seemed very nervous when watching the Taoist just now. Did something happen?"
Taoist Yongfang breathed a sigh of relief and finally got it back. By the way, this Taoist Yuanhui was really tolerant. He was eager to find the missing disciple just now, but he didn't mention it for a long time. This posture was really subtle.
Fang Shi smiled and said, "It's nothing big, but some people want to come and get some money. After making some trouble, we followed the clues, but they actually came here. Do you think it's very interesting?"
"Ah?! Is there an opponent's spy here?"
"It's hard to say, maybe it's a spy, maybe it's a frame-up. We are still investigating, and people here can be said to be suspicious."
The Taoist Yuanhui smiled and said, "Wouldn't that little Tao be suspected?"
Fang Shi blinked: "Theoretical, yes, but in fact, the suspicion of the Taoist priest has been ruled out. At least this matter was definitely not done by the Taoist priest."
There was something in Fang Shi's words, and Monk Fayan could naturally hear it. Taoist Yongfang and Taoist Yongqi also felt it, but Taoist Yuanhui seemed to have not heard it at all. Instead, he said happily: "That's great, the Taoist is also very worried. It is a trivial matter to make the sects of Nanyue misunderstand me. If the sects of Nanyue misunderstand about Qixia Temple, then the sin would be great."
This is a beautiful saying, but everyone here is old and no one will take this kind of words seriously, but you still have to be kind on the surface.
Taoist Yongqian replied with a smile: "Fellow Taoist in Yuanhui, don't worry. Elder Fang has a unique and clear vision, and he will not let his fellow Taoist be wronged."
"Haha, Xiaodao has thought too much. This is what it should have been. With Elder Fang in charge, why not be afraid of Xiao Xiao's conspiracy?"
Fang Shi smiled faintly: "You are polite, Taoist Master Yongfang said just now that there should be another disciple who came with Taoist Master. I wonder where this disciple is?"
The smile on the face of Taoist Yuanhui suddenly became calm, and he showed a worried look: "Elder Fang said that Xiaodao was also very worried. My unworthy disciple went out last night and said he wanted to see the night view of Pengcheng, but he was gone forever and could not contact him until now. Xiaodao was not familiar with the place and was also anxious. He was just trying to discuss with the two Taoists to see how to find this bad disciple."
"How could this happen? Did you completely lose contact? Did he have any explanation before he left?"
Taoist Yongqi cooperated and made a cautious expression, and asked with a slightly anxious tone.
"That means going for a walk, then there will be no letters. The phone is not available now. If it is convenient, can you ask two people to find it?"
"Of course there is no problem with this."
Fang Shi stumbled before Taoist Yongqian, then turned his head to look at Xu Liquan who had been standing in the corner of the wall, as if invisible: "Captain Xu, please find this person, Taoist Yuanhui, please provide your apprentice's detailed information."
"Ah, okay, I'm really troubled Elder Fang."
"No trouble, I'm looking for him anyway."
Taoist Yuanhui was stunned: "Elder Fang knows my disciple?"
“Don’t know.”
"Why did Elder Fang look for him?"
"Because last night, Master Fayan's disciple was almost killed by your disciple with a bomb. Not long ago, he secretly stole the top secret information of the Pengcheng Environmental Consulting Association and set up several Feng Shui bureaus in Pengcheng to make trouble for us. I really want to find him and ask him how he did this. I also want to know how many companions he has, and he can actually make a few good formations in a short period of time."
Fang Shi's words were really shocking. The lobby that was still peaceful just now suddenly became cold. These words were clearly pointing out, and everyone's hearts were like turbulent waves. Even if an old man like Yuanhui Taoist could not calm down for a while, Fang Shi's words pulled everyone's eyes on him. If he could not respond correctly at this time, things would be bad.
