"Senior Jie Yin, what do you mean?" The green-robed man's expression changed and he suddenly turned around and shouted.
When the other monks in the hall saw this scene, their expressions changed and they all stood up.
"Please don't misunderstand, fellow Taoists. This temple has no ill will towards you. Please wait here for a moment." The Taoist Master Jie Yin stood up and bowed.
"Fellow Daoist Jie Yin, please speak directly if you have anything to say. I, Bai, am not interested in being imprisoned by someone." The person who spoke was Bai Xi, his expression unchanged.
He is the head of the Chamber of Commerce in Xiniu Hezhou. He has never been treated like this before.
The expressions of Patriarch Hongyue and the young man in golden armor were similar.
"Fellow Daoist Baixi, please be patient. I have no choice but to keep you all here. To be honest, just last night, several immortal fruits deep in the orchard of our temple were stolen, causing heavy losses. Even three ginseng fruits, the treasure of our temple, were stolen by the thieves!" Taoist Jie Yin sighed in a deep voice.
"The ginseng fruit was stolen? This actually happened!" Bai Xi's face suddenly changed.
The others were also shocked.
The ginseng fruit is very famous and is almost considered the number one immortal fruit in the Three Realms. Only dozens of them are produced every ten thousand years, but now three of them have been stolen!
A look of shock flashed across Shen Luo's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
No wonder Mingyue looked strange when she came to him in the morning and secretly asked what he did last night. It turned out that she was looking for clues.
"Last night!" Shen Luo's heart suddenly tightened, and he glanced at Ao Hong beside him without leaving a trace.
Ao Hong came to Wuzhuang Temple for the ginseng fruit, and he suddenly asked him to borrow the Wandu Hunyuan Pearl and the Demon-Slaying Sword last night. Could it be that he was the one who stole the fruit
However, Ao Hong's face was also full of shock, and it didn't look like a disguise.
Shen Luo secretly activated the Xuanyin Mitong, but did not find any flaws. The expression on Ao Hong's face was completely from the heart.
"Could it not be him who did it?" Shen Luo thought to himself.
His Xuanyin Mitong had already reached perfection, and his ability to observe subtle matters had reached a level that was unimaginable for ordinary people. I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to observing people's words and expressions, no amount of acting skills could fool him.
"We have set up restrictions near the ginseng fruit tree. Once it is triggered, an alarm will be sounded. Last night, I discovered that someone had stolen the treasure, so I immediately deployed the Wuzhuang Temple's protective formation. Now the thief is still in the temple. I have left you fellow Taoists here so that we can find out the thief's identity. I hope you can forgive me." The Taoist Jie Yin continued.
Everyone then understood what had happened and looked around with a hint of vigilance on their faces.
"Since there is a reason for everything, we are not ignorant people. There is no need for Brother Jie Yin to investigate secretly. Just use whatever means you have to find out the person who stole the fruit as soon as possible, so as to clear our suspicion." Bai Xi said. He obviously also noticed the detection fluctuations that he had secretly scanned before.
Others also responded and nodded in agreement.
"Thank you all for your generosity." Taoist Jie Yin was overjoyed and stood up and clasped his fists.
He then raised his hand and waved outside, and a door appeared on the green restriction at the entrance of the hall, and more than a dozen disciples of Wuzhuang Temple entered one after another.
Qingfeng and Mingyue, whom Shen Luo knew, were among them, and the cultivation of the others had also reached the Mahayana stage.
