The terrifying aura of Qin Liuxi erged, not only making everyone’s hearts tremble, but Scholar Yuan was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, his face pale and lips blue.
"You..." Scholar Yuan swallowed a few tis, already feeling guilty and now unable to speak coherently.
Qin Liuxi sneered coldly, "Speak up, let everyone hear how you hired soone to take the exam for you, and how you dealt with that person afterwards."
The whole crowd was in an uproar.
Scholar Yuan stared in horror, cold sweat forming on his forehead. How could this be?
Scholar Zhou and several others looked at him in disbelief, "Brother Yuan, you must defend yourself." Could this really be true?
"I..."
Qin Liuxi pointed to a child and said, "You go report to the authorities and say that Qingping Temple here has captured soone who hired others to impersonate them for exams and even committed murder."
The child imdiately ran off.
Scholar Yuan was aghast and said, "No, I didn’t, you’re talking nonsense! You demon path, you’re deliberately confusing to harm , let go, otherwise..."
As he spoke, his face was slapped through the air, causing him to tilt his head and faint.
"Why are you hitting people?" Scholar Zhou stepped back in fear.
Qin Liuxi laughed coldly, "Which eye of yours saw hit soone? Did you all see it?"
No one nodded, she hadn’t even touched Scholar Yuan’s face, she was seven or eight feet away.
Yet she hadn’t moved, so who hit Scholar Yuan just now?
Everyone looked at the erging finger marks on Scholar Yuan’s pale face and felt a chill down their spine. Grandmaster, even in broad daylight, are there such fierce ghosts in your domain?
Scholar Zhou and others: "Confucius said not to discuss strange forces and gods, it’s all an illusion, it’s your magic confusing the crowd."
"Even now, still trying to label as a demon path, shall I then say that scholars like you can’t tell right from wrong, your minds are overgrown, only able to impotently bla the innocent? I feel ashad for your teachers!"
"You, quibbling nonsense, truly difficult to sustain among petty n and won!"
"The woman you refer to as petty is , the current temple master of Qingping Temple, I’ve saved over ten million people, I’ve done more good and distributed more porridge than you can count, what have n like you done?" Qin Liuxi said coldly, "The Saint is obsessed with alchemy, extravagant constructions of Immortal Palace, neglecting the court, why aren’t your pens scolding the Saint? The pen is in your hands, you can write, you know Shengjing roads, you know the path to the Imperial Palace? If dissatisfied with the State Preceptor and the Saint, use your pen to express and advocate your dissatisfaction! But the fact is?"
"The fact is, you don’t dare, fearing to ruin your future, so you can only impotently rage, blaming the innocent, what’s with Daoist temples and Daoists angering you, how are you labeling them evil? And these devotees, why obstruct others’ beliefs, Confucius said not to discuss strange forces and gods, why expect everyone to follow you? You don’t believe in ghosts and gods, does that an you won’t offer sacrifices to your ancestors, are you rootless?"
Scholar Zhou and others faced turns blue and white.
"Moreover, about that so-called State Preceptor, what connection does he have with all the Daoist temples in the land? How can he represent any of us, why should we bear the sins he commits? If dissatisfied, unleash your dissent towards him, but you don’t dare, only daring to criticize us fellow mbers? Who gave you the courage?"
Qin Liuxi’s gaze was sharp as a knife, cutting towards them, "Do you think that small temple’s Daoist temples and Daoists are easy to bully, or by criticizing us, you scholars stand taller, able to regard everyone high and mighty? Ridiculous! rely scholars, so not even scholars, what great contributions to the country and all living things have you made? Read a few more poems, yet dare not confront the real issue, and now you’re full and pick on innocent people, look at how capable you’ve beco!"
In terms of criticizing others, she’s never lost!
"Well said, well said!" So commoners applauded.
Scholar Zhou and others were deeply ashad.
Qin Liuxi stood with hands behind her back, eyes scanning over them and then looking at the other onlooking civilians, saying, "Qingping Temple has been re-established for fifteen years, in these past years, we have never committed wrongdoing, nor have we extorted any silver from the people for temple renovation, every thread and stitch is donated by believers, and every year we use most of the incense oil for good, distributing porridge, dicine, and even free consultations, everyone knows this."
"Yes, we believe Qingping Temple is a righteous temple." Soone shouted loudly.
"Indeed, every year I receive dicine packages from Qingping Temple, they’re free."
"In the harshest winter, Qingping Temple even offers ginger soup at the little square by the front hall for everyone to have a scoop for free."
"Right, you can pay respects to the Grandmaster without incense oil."
"Temple Master, Qingping Temple is the most righteous of temples!"
One voice after another rose to its defense, Sanyuan and others had tears in their eyes.
Soone even threw a rotten cabbage at Scholar Zhou and their group, "Ungrateful dogs, Qingping Temple’s Immortal Ascension Tower, you scholars visit it most, the books there are free, why don’t you just copy and read them, and now to add a na for yourself by offending the temple, you call us demon paths, saying we use Demon Art, and compare us to the National Master’s Mansion? Hum, you are the real ungrateful wolves!"
"Exactly, you’re shaless!"
"Can’t tell right from wrong, the books you read went straight to the dog’s belly!"
Gradually, more people threw leaves at them, so even threw small stones.
Soone went further, grabbing Sanyuan’s feces bucket, directly pouring it on them.
Qin Liuxi: "..."
No need to go so far, it’s going to stink, later it might trouble the temple disciples to clean up.
But after this incident, Scholar Zhou and others couldn’t stay any longer, their dignity and integrity were shattered, they ran covering their faces, as for Scholar Yuan, there’s no guarantee he will survive!
And at that mont, governnt guards were led by the child to arrive, Qin Liuxi spoke a few words, and the guards’ faces changed, hiring soone to impersonate for exams, that’s a major cri, not to ntion murder.
As for how Qin Liuxi knew, naturally there was soone who suffered.
Qin Liuxi, based on the victim’s account, ntioned two key pieces of evidence, and the guards took Scholar Yuan away in handcuffs, another went to collect evidence.
Once they left, the commoners were curious and asked, "Temple Master, he really is a fake scholar, you weren’t just bluffing, right?"
Qin Liuxi smiled faintly, "Truth be told, if our temple wanted to bluff people, we wouldn’t fabricate such things. Similarly, Qingping Temple is committed to slaying evil for justice, we won’t exploit people for constructing any Immortal Palace, nor will we employ those dastardly arts. Enough, if you wish to offer incense, sincerity is enough, Blessings to the Infinite."
The commoners felt a shiver in their hearts, aning the invisible victim was indeed here, the Temple Master is remarkable!
"Temple Master, what about this?" Sanyuan looked at the filth.
Qin Liuxi said, "Clean it thoroughly."
Just as she turned around, from behind ca a familiar choked-up voice, "Xixi."
