Chapter 317 Uprooting
The money of the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty?
The emperor frowned, not quite understanding what Ling Chu meant.
The viewer felt a little uneasy.
He was just thinking of finding an excuse to take the emperor and others away from Sanqing Palace.
However, Ling Chu smiled and took out the small hammer and said to the emperor, "Please, your emperor, please step back."
Ning Chuyi's brows twitched. This was the first time that he dared to ask the emperor to give way so blatantly.
Eunuch An just wanted to scold him for being presumptuous.
The emperor waved his hand towards him.
Although the emperor was puzzled, he remembered that Ling Chu could find hidden silver through hexagram techniques.
If Master Xuan Yi, his disciple, can really help him with the money for disaster relief, even if he is an emperor, there is no harm in giving way.
The emperor turned around and retreated to the entrance of the palace with expectation.
Eunuch An could only close his open mouth and retreat with the emperor along with Ning Chuyi and others.
The prince and the second prince could only follow him silently.
The viewer frowned, wondering how the emperor could obey Ling Chu's words so much.
Soon, Ling Chu and the master of Chongxu Temple were the only ones left in the middle of the hall.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, although the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty enjoys incense and offerings every day, how can they get any money? You are teasing the emperor like this, which is the crime of deceiving the emperor..."
As soon as the audience member finished speaking, Ling Chu had already raised his hand and waved.
The little hammer first rushed upward, followed by a rapid dive.
Smash it hard on the ground in the middle of the hall.
After a loud noise.
The flat floor tiles cracked into spider webs.
The immortal expression of the temple owner was quickly distorted for a moment. Although it returned to normal in the blink of an eye, his face was gloomy.
"Fellow Daoist Ling, you smashed the main hall of the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty. This is disrespectful! Didn't Master Xuan Yi teach you what it means to respect teachers and respect the Tao?"
Ling Chu looked innocent, "Does the temple master have something wrong with his ears? Didn't I just say that the founder of the Sanqing Dynasty knew that the people were in trouble and asked me to help them deliver incense and silver to the emperor to help the people survive the disaster.
What I am doing now is to follow the instructions of my ancestor. There is no such thing as disrespect.
If the temple owner doesn't believe it, he can ask the three ancestors himself. "
The visitor's cheeks twitched, asking him to ask the Patriarch, how to ask?
This is a curse for him to ascend to immortality soon.
After finishing smashing with the small hammer, Ling Chu prepared to replace it with a large shovel.
Fortunately, Lord Ning had allowed the system to absorb so much jade before, otherwise she wouldn't be able to use the big shovel and small hammer at the moment.
But before the shovel came out, he saw Ning Chuyi walking over with a dozen guards.
What surprised Ling Chu was that the guards all had shovels and hoes.
Ling Chu subconsciously glanced at Ning Chuyi, but he didn't expect that Lord Ning and her had quite a tacit understanding.
Although the master of the temple tried his best to maintain calm on his face, his fists were clenched under his Taoist robes, with veins bulging on the backs of his hands.
But he underestimated this disciple of Master Xuan Yi, and he didn't expect to be discovered by her.
Although he wanted to stop him, Lingchu kept saying that this was the order of the Patriarch. He just swore in front of the emperor that there was no money in Chongxu Temple.
Until now, he had no choice but to pretend he didn't know.
The owner of the temple can only try his best to comfort himself, keeping the green hills and not afraid of running out of firewood.
Just watching helplessly as boxes of money they had accumulated over the years were dug out, the temple owner and other Taoist priests at Chongxu Temple felt so distressed that they almost vomited blood.
The most important thing the emperor does not lack is his bodyguards.
Half an hour later, more than thirty boxes of gold and silver jewelry were unearthed from the Sanqing Hall.
Even the emperor was surprised to see so many things dug out.
Although he knew that Chongxu Temple was very popular, he never expected that he had accumulated so much money.
The temple master endured his heartache and said with a look of surprise, "This... As a temple master, I don't know that there is so much money under the Sanqing Palace. I'm really ashamed."
The emperor looked majestic and said in a cold voice, "The master of the temple should pay more attention to Chongxu Temple on weekdays, so as not to know that something big happens one day."
"Yes, I will only follow the emperor's teachings."
For the sake of the money, the emperor only gave a few words to the viewer.
Lingchu saw that the master's face was green and black, and he planned to sprinkle another pinch of salt on his wounds.
He quickly stepped forward and lit three more sticks of incense, "I have obeyed the instructions of the three ancestors and have handed over the money to the emperor. On behalf of the people who were affected by the disaster, I would like to thank the three ancestors for their compassion..."
Seeing Ling Chu offering incense, the emperor also stepped forward and took the three sticks of incense lit by Eunuch An, "On behalf of the victims of the disaster all over the world, I would like to thank the three deities for their compassionate hearts.
It is a blessing to the people of the world, and even more to me, to have three heavenly deities protecting my Chongzhao Dynasty. "
The viewer on the side only felt a sweet and fishy taste well up in his throat. He didn't dare to let the emperor notice it, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow it back.
Now the viewer can only hope that the emperor will leave as soon as possible, so that the dozens of boxes of gold and silver jewelry will not hurt his heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys.
Ling Chu looked at the dozen or so Taoist priests in the system who were undressing and undressing in the underground palace, with an expression as cold as ice.
Secretly affixing invisibility charms to Big Shovel and Little Hammer, Ling Chu immediately asked them to leave.
The emperor had just ordered his guards to take the dozens of boxes of gold and silver jewelry back to the palace when a loud noise suddenly came from the distance.
The temple owner and the Taoist priests suddenly felt uneasy in their hearts.
The emperor frowned, glanced at the viewer, and waved his hand for Ning Chuyi to take someone to check.
Before leaving, Ning Chuyi glanced at Ling Chu. He always felt that the loud noise just now had something to do with her.
Ling Chu saw him looking over and nodded slightly.
Ning Chuyi knew it in her heart.
Soon he led his men away.
The emperor saw that the master looked unhappy, and thought, "Master, those loud noises just now are probably unusual. I will go with you to see what happened."
The master's heart tightened, and he wanted to dispel the emperor's idea.
The crown prince and the second prince also followed to persuade him.
But the emperor was already suspicious, and the more they tried to stop him, the more determined he was to find out.
Ning Chuyi led his men over there and quickly found the place where the loud noise came from.
It turned out that a side hall collapsed.
Although the Taoist priests of Chongxu Temple explained that the side hall collapsed due to disrepair, there were no casualties.
Ning Chuyi led his men to check around, and did not find anything unusual in the side hall.
But soon, he found the passage leading to the underground hall.
The Taoist priests of Chongxu Temple were so scared that their faces changed drastically, and they wanted to stop them.
But how could Ning Chuyi let them succeed.
With a glance, the guards subdued the Taoist priests.
Ning Chuyi quickly led people into the underground hall, but soon came out with a gloomy face.
He brought a group of Taoist priests with messy clothes.
The emperor happened to come.
Seeing those Taoist priests, the master of the temple could no longer maintain the immortal look on his face.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a thick smoke rising into the sky not far away, and his eyes suddenly went black.
The emperor took a look and waved to Ning Chuyi.
Ning Chuyi immediately left with a team of guards.
Soon a guard hurried back, "Your Majesty, Lord Ning found a large amount of silver in the basement where the fire broke out, as well as a batch of long spears, bows and crossbows and other weapons."
Silver is fine, but weapons are expressly prohibited by the court.
The emperor immediately issued an order to put all the Taoist priests in Chongxu Temple into prison.
