Chapter 3824: Find a way together

I was shocked when I heard that man claiming to be Yuankong’s junior fellow apprentice, also called Yuanming, and that his master, Zen Master Jueming, and Yuankong were both missing.

How could this happen?

So I became wary and asked him how he knew my phone number.

Yuanming said that he found my phone number in Yuankong's room, and that I had been to Lingjue Temple and he had seen me.

I went to Lingjue Temple and met Zen Master Jueming. Zen Master Jueming had a group of disciples, and except for Yuankong, most of them were disabled.

But I don’t have any impression of this monk named Yuanming.

Except for Yuankong, I don't remember any of his fellow disciples.

So I asked how Master Jueming and Yuankong disappeared.

The little monk said in a tearful voice that it was people from a village near Jinling City who sent a few bags of rice to their Lingjue Temple. An elderly person had died in that person's family, and they wanted Master Jueming to go and help with the salvation of the soul.

Zen Master Jueming often took on these jobs. He didn't want any money, he just wanted to deliver some food such as rice, flour, grain, and oil to the temple.

Zen Master Jueming agreed and followed the villager.

But unexpectedly, Zen Master Jueming never came back after he left.

Until evening, Zen Master Jueming still hadn't returned. Yuankong was very worried, so he went to the village to find Master Jueming. However, Yuankong went there and never came back.

Seeing that two people had disappeared in a row, the monks in the temple panicked and wanted to go together to find Master Jueming and Yuankong.

But this young master Yuankong felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to call me and ask what I thought.

Zen Master Jueming once said that if Lingjue Temple got into trouble one day, they would need my help.

Young Master Yuanming also heard these words.

Since Yuanming can say this, I can completely confirm his identity. He is indeed the disciple of Zen Master Jueming.

It seems that Master Jueming and Yuankong are indeed in trouble.

I comforted Master Yuanming and told him not to worry. I immediately went to Lingjue Temple to help them find Master Jueming and Yuankong.

After hanging up the phone, I immediately called Xiaopang and booked the nearest high-speed rail ticket to Jinling City without saying a word.

On the way to the station, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong.

Both Master Jueming and Yuankong have very high cultivation levels, especially Yuankong, who recently obtained the blood lotus. If we talk about strength, Master Jueming may not be his opponent at this time.

If the master and disciple really get into trouble, Xiaopang and I will definitely not be able to solve it.

You have to blow the whistle to call people.

Thinking of this, I immediately called Zhang Qing'an.

As soon as Zhang Qing'an answered my call, he quickly said, "Xiao Jie, it's only been half a month, and there's another big job coming up?"

"Senior Zhang, you have become a money-grubber now. Will you do free work?" I asked seriously.

"Who would do a job that doesn't pay? The last time I went to Taiwan with you, I was hit by the Yin Fu Palm and almost died. Working with you is always a life-threatening job. I can't do it for free." Zhang Qing'an on the other side refused.

"Okay then, Yuankong seems to have been kidnapped, and so has his master, Zen Master Jueming. If you don't come, I'll go greet Lao Luo and the others." After saying that, I was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait... wait... something happened to Yuankong, what happened to him?" Zhang Qing'an's tone suddenly became nervous.

"I don't know the details right now. I'm heading towards Lingjue Temple. This is no joke. You notify Kasan, contact Luo Laoliu, and quickly gather at Lingjue Temple." I said again.

"Okay, okay, I'll inform them right away. When you get there, don't act rashly. We'll work together to find a solution after we get there." Zhang Qing'an specifically reminded me.

Xiaopang and I definitely cannot go to solve this matter. First, Master Jueming disappeared, and later it was Yuankong. If Xiaopang and I went there, it would be like Calabash Brothers saving his grandfather, and neither of us would say a word.

If we wait for Lao Luo and the others to go there, it would be no different from committing suicide.

Therefore, we have to unite and work together to find a solution to this matter.

At this time, I suddenly thought of Fang Sicheng, the master of Lushan School. Now that we have lost Yuankong, a powerful assistant, we must find a stronger one. The Sixth Regiment must maintain strong combat effectiveness.

After arriving at the station, I ran to the bathroom and burned a talisman for Fang Sicheng, asking him to meet us at Lingjue Temple.

I didn't tell Fang Sicheng what exactly happened, I just hoped he would come soon.

Fang Sicheng didn't ask any more questions and said he would go there as soon as possible.

After contacting Fang Sicheng, I felt more at ease. Fang Sicheng is even more powerful than Zhang Qingan. With him here, he can completely fill the vacancy left by Yuankong.

Yanbei is only a few hours' drive from Jinling. In the afternoon, Xiaopang and I first arrived in Jinling City. After some twists and turns, we arrived at the foot of the mountain where Lingjue Temple is located.

When we arrived, there were already a few young monks waiting for us at the foot of the mountain.

A lame young monk came towards us and said excitedly, "Donor Wu, we've finally got you here... Taoist Luo and the others are waiting for you on the mountain. Let's hurry up."

It was only then that I remembered that Maoshan Sect was very close to Jinling City, and the sloppy Taoist priest and Chilang arrived faster than me.

I followed Master Yuanming all the way up the mountain. When we arrived, I saw the sloppy Taoist busy in Yuankong's meditation room.

He took out the clothes that Yuankong usually wore and began to use the Thousand Mile Tracking Technique to search for Yuankong's whereabouts.

But the sloppy Taoist priest failed.

When the sloppy Taoist priest threw the yellow paper talisman and Yuankong's clothes at the scarecrow, he muttered something. As soon as he put the scarecrow on the ground, the scarecrow caught fire and turned into ashes in an instant.

This situation immediately made the sloppy Taoist priest look puzzled, and his brows were twisted into a rope.

Seeing me coming, the scruffy Taoist glanced in my direction and said, "Wu Laoliu, where do you think Yuankong went?"

"Why didn't the Thousand Mile Tracking Technique lock onto Yuankong's whereabouts?" I asked instead of answering.

"I don't know. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation. It might be that Yuankong blocked his own aura. The power of Buddhism and Taoist techniques are inherently mutually restraining." The sloppy Taoist shook his head helplessly.

At this time, Brother Gu suddenly said, "What do you think? Did that Blood Lotus Dharma King plot against Yuankong and Zen Master Jueming? When Yuankong obtained his Blood Lotus, that old man's spirit escaped. Now he's looking for revenge on Yuankong?"
