Inside the Buddha Bone Temple, Li Huowang tried hard to suppress his urge to kill the crazy monk, Xin Chi Chanshi. He had never despised someone so much before.
Following Xin Chi Chanshi's instructions, Li Huowang had killed a member of the Taoist sects that deceive beings. But the monk just casually said sorry?
Li Huowang knew that the Monitor Heaven Bureau didn't care about human lives as long as they completed their tasks. But he never expected to be involved in such a thing. He had killed an innocent person with his own hands!
While Li Huowang tried to control himself, the monk next to him was more agitated. He cried and jumped around, "How could he do this! Who gave him the right to be a monk!! That was a human life!"
The monk rushed towards Xin Chi Chanshi, who was wearing a wooden collar, and punched and kicked him. But his actions could only pass through Xin Chi Chanshi's body.
"Why did you shave your head! You only do bad things and not good things. You don't deserve to be a monk!"
Li Huowang stood up and moved towards the others. He looked at Xin Chi Chanshi with extreme disgust, which was different from his previous slight goodwill. He had been wondering why Xin Chi Chanshi, as a Buddhist, was imprisoned in the Silver Ridge Prison. But now he thought that it was too light for him to be imprisoned there.
Li Huowang knew that they couldn't fight each other now, or they might be attacked by the Taoist sects that deceive beings at any time. Compared to them, the monks who ignored human lives could be left behind. But he still couldn't swallow this anger.
"How about Xin Chi Chanshi? Was that person a member of the Taoist sects that deceive beings?" Hong Da, the knife seller, asked first.
"No, I was wrong." Xin Chi Chanshi's voice appeared in everyone's mind.
Tuoba Danqing sneered, "Xin Chi Chanshi, aren't you a high monk who claims to know the six Buddhist doctrines? How could you make a mistake? Don't delay the work of the Lord Jixiang who has many things to do."
Despite what others said, Jixiang, who rarely responded, ignored them and looked around the entire hall with his wrinkled face. His chubby fingers kept tapping on the golden abacus in his hand.
Li Huowang keenly noticed this abnormality and quickly calmed himself down, staring at the eunuch in front of him.
"Can the abacus in his hand find out who is a member of the Taoist sects that deceive beings? Then why bother looking for Xin Chi Chanshi?"
After a while, Jixiang suddenly stopped tapping the golden abacus and said, "Let's go, to the next hall."
His words made everyone shut their mouths and follow him quickly.
When they arrived at the next Buddha hall, which enshrined the relics, Jixiang quickly started tapping his abacus again.
After a while, he spoke again, "Let's go, not here, to the next one!"
Jixiang's words made everyone move again, preparing to go to the next place.
This time, they moved extremely fast, so fast that Li Huowang doubted whether there were any members of the Taoist sects that deceive beings left behind.
But before they could leave the hall, a group of monks in robes, led by an old monk in a kasaya, surrounded them with sticks."Hey! Who's the thief! Dare to violate the killing precept in this temple!" The monk with a unibrow standing next to the robe-wearing old monk was the first to speak out.
Li Huowang, who was holding the sword handle, immediately asked, "Who are you guys?"
"You blind thief! Of course, we are the monks of this Buddha bone temple!" The other monks looked at the tall and thin-minded monk in front of them, and only one person could distinguish who was from the Taoist sects that deceive beings.

When they saw the nod of the thin-minded monk, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
The slick Tuoba Danqing immediately stepped forward and took out his waist badge from his pocket. "We are from the Supervisory Office. You all go back to your rooms and no one is allowed to come out!"
After hearing this, the monks' expressions instantly became ugly. They all looked at the old monk wearing a robe.
The old monk put his hands together and sang "Amitabha" before speaking, "Gentlemen, may I ask why you have come to our temple? There have been no strange incidents in the Buddha bone temple in the past few days."
"You think it's calm here, but under this calmness, the entire temple has been drilled like a dice by someone. Go back to your rooms, and don't blame us for being heartless if you come out again!" Tuoba Danqing threatened severely.
After hearing Tuoba Danqing's words, the monks dispersed.
As Li Huowang and the others prepared to continue on to the next place, Li Huowang stopped in his tracks.
"Guys, don't you think something's not quite right here? We've been here for a while, and everything seems too normal."
"The Taoist sects that deceive beings are a group of people who want chaos in the world. They don't care about their own lives just to cause trouble. Any place they have been to cannot be as peaceful as it is now."
"Don't guess blindly. The Supervisory Office's scouts are smarter than you think. If they say there are traces of the Taoist sects that deceive beings here, then there must be."
After hearing Hong Da's words, Li Huowang shook his head. "No, I'm not saying that there are no Taoist sects that deceive beings here, but that their purpose for being here is not just to cause trouble. They must have some other goal."
Li Huowang thought that Ji Xiang would carefully consider his words, but instead, he furrowed his brows and said, "Just do your job." Then he turned and walked towards another hall.
"What's going on?" Li Huowang was surprised by Ji Xiang's reaction. It was as if he knew what the Taoist sects that deceive beings were going to do.
Li Huowang had a sudden realization and quickly followed him. "There must be something that this eunuch is hiding from me in this mission."
There was no trace of the Taoist sects that deceive beings yet, but Li Huowang felt that there was something strange about this mission.
"Dang~!" Li Huowang's boots stepped on the clean and smooth marble floor. This time, he didn't stare at the pilgrims and monks around him, but focused most of his attention on Ji Xiang.
After careful observation, Li Huowang did find something.
If Ji Xiang's goal this time was to deal with the Taoist sects that deceive beings, then no matter what, this eunuch should have focused on the people.
But he kept staring at the beams and pillars in the hall, his abacus never stopped, as if he was constantly calculating something.Could it be that he's looking for something? It's hard to guess without understanding his abilities. Li Huowang's mind was wandering.
"Ear donor! Left hand, five steps to kill!" A thunderous voice suddenly exploded in Li Huowang's ear.
At the sound of these words, Li Huowang drew his purple tassel sword halfway out with a "clang."
But seeing the woman kneeling on the cushion and praying earnestly, he sheathed his sword again.
