C33 Temple Blessing

I wish you good luck in the temple.

Under the dim candlelight, the Temple Blessing of the Lingtai Temple was carefully checking the account books.

"In just a short month, the income has already caught up to the previous half a year's worth of income. The people in the Return of Spring to City are really rich and timid."

Realizing that the income in the account book was even greater than what he had imagined, the temple's Zhu could not help but sigh in relief. Then, he sighed again.

"It's a pity that Miss Yao actually went crazy. Otherwise... Sigh... "

Just as he was thinking of some unknown ideas, he suddenly heard a crisp sound coming from the door. Then, he saw the door being kicked open.

"Is it so easy to earn a temple wish? Why don't you give us some money?"

Two masked men walked in from the door. The man in the lead held a long sword in his hand after entering the door and made a declaration of robbery.

However, both of them were short, and the voice of the person who spoke was very sharp. It was obvious that it was the voice of an underage girl. There was no fear in the heart of the temple wish.

"Where did this little girl come from? Since she dares to rob like others?"

Hearing that Temple Zhu had seen through his true appearance, the bandit in the lead pulled down his mask angrily and said to the person behind him angrily, "Ye Zhifa, what kind of stupid idea is this? It was seen through in an instant!"

Facing Chu Qianwei's dissatisfaction, Ye Zhifa was also very helpless. He did not expect that not only did Chu Qianwei play the trick of revealing his identity, but also very conveniently gave his name out. If he really planned to do something bad in the future, he definitely would not pull Chu Qianwei to be his accomplice. Otherwise, why would he not know how he got cheated?

Since the drama of robbing couldn't continue, Ye Zhifa could only change the script at the last minute. He also pulled down the mask on his face, then pointed his sword at the temple. He said coldly, "Your crime has been committed. Why don't you come with us?"

A crime? Did someone find out about my incident?

Temple Zhu's expression changed before he realized that there were only two brats in front of him. No matter how absurd the Imperial Court was, they would not use these two brats as bait. He was the one who had been thinking too much earlier.

He did not expect that the subtle change in his expression did not escape Ye Zhifa's eyes. Initially, he was 50% sure that his guess would rise to 100%.

"It really is you! Junior sister, quickly take him down!"

After saying that, Ye Zhifa and Chu Qianwei joined hands to attack. This temple wished that he could cast a spell to kill Young Master Zhang. It was very likely that he had already cultivated his magic. Even though these kinds of martial arts practitioners were often lacking in actual combat, Ye Zhifa still reminded Chu Qianwei in advance. If he wanted to make a move, he must not be careless. He must do his best.

However, the actual combat situation was very different from what Ye Zhifa expected. Facing the attack of the two brothers and sisters, this temple blessing did not even have time to react before it was directly pressed against the neck by two long swords that shone with a cold light.

After that, this temple blessing became even more useless. It directly knelt down and begged, "Heroes, please spare my life!"

His kneeling gave the two of them a scare. Immediately after, Chu Qianwei looked at Ye Zhifa with a suspicious look and asked, "Ye Zhifa, this is the demon that you talked about. Why is it that it can't even withstand a single blow?"

Seeing his soft behavior, Ye Zhifa was also a little uncertain. He said with slight hesitation, "I saw that his expression was flustered and reasonable. Miss Yao's case can only be done by him."

At this time, Temple Zhu heard the purpose of the two of them. He quickly knocked his head on the ground and said, "Heroes, you have wronged me. I am just an ordinary person who does not have the strength to truss a chicken. Miss Yao's husband was killed by a ghost. How could it be me who did it?"

Hearing his sincere words, Ye Zhifa could not help but be shaken. Chu Qianwei even reached out her hand to support the temple and complained about Ye Zhifa.

"Ye Zhifa, I think you have wronged a good person. You have to apologize to him properly."

Just as Chu Qianwei's hand was about to touch the temple wish, Ye Zhifa noticed something unusual through the candlelight. He quickly thrust his sword forward and pierced through the right hand hidden under the temple wish.

The temple's wish wailed when its hand was penetrated. Then the thing that was grabbed by the hand fell to the ground. It was a small blue-purple gourd.

The color of the gourd was strange. When looking at it, it gave an inexplicable feeling of disgust. No matter how one looked at it, it was not a good thing.

After he stabbed the sword, Ye Zhifa pointed the tip of the sword at Temple Zhu's throat once again. But this time, he would not easily move it away.

"Tell me, what is this gourd? What does Miss Yao's matter have to do with you?"

"Haha, I never thought that you would be so cautious at such a young age. Truly amazing."

At this moment, the reply from Temple Zhu did not contain the weakness from before. Instead, it was filled with sinister resentment.

Chu Qianwei finally realized that she had been deceived by the Temple's Zhu's expression. She spat at him first and then wanted to pick up the gourd. However, she was stopped by Ye Zhifa.

"Be careful, there might be a problem with this gourd. Don't touch it with your hand."

Hearing Ye Zhifa say this, Temple Zhu's heart turned cold. If Chu Qianwei really touched this gourd, he could take the opportunity to control Chu Qianwei. But now, he had lost the last chance to turn the tables.

"Give me an explanation. If you give me an honest explanation, I will not give you to Duan Deyi. Otherwise, after I cripple you, I will give you to that City Lord. Do you think that he, who is eager to make contributions, will let you have a good time?"

Temple Zhu heard the determination in Ye Zhifa's voice and knew that he could do it. He could only tell Ye Zhifa everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Temple Zhu, who was in his thirties, also had the surname of Zhang. He was not only the son of the deceased young master Zhang. The two of them were even distant relatives. This Zhang Miaozhu had a fortuitous encounter in his early years and obtained a gourd. He could use his blood essence and gold to nurture a little ghost in the gourd.

Miss Yao often came to the Lingtai Temple to complain to the Bodhisattva, but Zhang Miaozhu, who was watching from the side, heard her words. Zhang Miaozhu was also a person with a lively mind. After hearing Miss Yao's distress, he had a plan to take both money and sex.

It turned out that he was going to send little ghosts to kill Young Master Zhang first. After that, Miss Yao would become an inauspicious person. After that, he would borrow the identity of the Lingtai Temple Temple's Zhu Zhu to approach this "inauspicious person." At that time, Old Master Yao's huge fortune and this beautiful young lady would become his property.

His wishful thinking was not bad. Unfortunately, the first step of the plan went wrong - Miss Yao went crazy after being frightened.

This time, all of Zhang Miaozhu's plans were in vain. He could only rely on the Lingtai Temple to earn money while waiting for the day Miss Yao recovered from her illness.

"What a beautiful plan. You are even prepared to have both money and wealth. But you are also unlucky. Miss Yao woke up today. It is just that you will not have the chance to see her."

Hearing that he would not have the chance to see Miss Yao again, Zhang Miaozhu's face was filled with fear. He thought that Ye Zhifa was going to kill him here. However, he did not smile at Ye Zhifa and said, "You are thinking too much. I will not kill you here. The Return of Spring to City officials will give you a suitable trial."

"You said you will not give me to Duan Deyi! You promised me!"

"I did say so, so come with us to see the City Lord."
