"Guide, what is the meaning of this?" The green-robed man's expression changed and he suddenly turned around and shouted.
When the other cultivators in the hall saw this scene, their expressions also changed and they all stood up.
"Fellow cultivators, please don't misunderstand. We don't mean any harm to you. Please wait here for a moment …" The guide stood up and cupped his hands.
"Fellow Daoist guide, if you have something to say, please speak your mind. I have no interest in being imprisoned by someone." The one who spoke was White Brook, and he wore an unhappy expression.
He was the leader of the Chamber of Commerce in the Aparagodaniya Continent, and he had never been treated like this.
Ancestor Hong Yue and the young man in golden armor had similar expressions.
"Fellow cultivator White Brook, please don't be impatient. I have no choice but to keep you here. To tell you the truth, just last night, several Immortal Grade Spiritual Fruits in the depths of our orchard were stolen. We suffered heavy losses. Even three of our most treasured Ginseng Fruits were stolen! "The Daoist priest sighed in a deep voice.
"The Ginseng Fruit was stolen? How could this happen! "White Brook's expression suddenly changed.
The others were also in an uproar.
The Ginseng Fruit was famous, and it was almost the first Immortal Fruit in the Three Realms. Only a few dozen Ginseng Fruits were produced every 10,000 years, and now three of them were stolen!
Shen Luo's eyes flashed with shock, but he quickly regained his calmness.
No wonder Ming Yue came to him with a strange expression in the morning and secretly asked what he was doing last night. It turned out that she was looking for clues.
"Last night!" Shen Luo's heart suddenly tightened, and he secretly glanced at Ao Hong next to him.
Ao Hong's purpose of coming to Wu Zhuang Taoist Temple was for the Ginseng Fruit, and he suddenly asked to borrow the Myriad Poisons Chaos Pearl and the Demon Slayer 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 did not seem to be a pretense.
Shen Luo secretly operated the Mysterious Yin Bewildering Vision, but he did not see any flaws. Ao Hong's expression was completely from the heart.
"Could it be that he did not do it?" Shen Luo secretly said in his heart.
His Mystic Yin Bewildering Eyes had long reached the Great Accomplishment stage, and his ability to observe minute details had reached an unimaginable level. He dared not speak about other things, but when it came to observing a person's body language, no acting skills could fool him.
"There is a restriction around the ginseng fruit tree. Once it is touched, there will be a warning. Last night, I noticed that someone was stealing the treasure, so I immediately activated the protective formation of Wu Zhuang Taoist Temple. Now, the thief is still in the temple. I kept all of you here to find out the identity of the thief. Please forgive me," the Taoist priest continued.
Only then did everyone understand the whole story. They looked around with vigilance on their faces.
"Since there's a reason for this, and we're not unreasonable people, Fellow Daoist Guidance, there's no need for you to secretly investigate. If you have any methods, just use them. Find the person who stole the fruit as soon as possible and remove our suspicions," White Brook said. Clearly, he had also noticed the probing fluctuations from before.
The others also nodded in agreement.
"Thank you for your generosity, fellow Daoists." Daoist Jie Yin was overjoyed. He stood up and cupped his fists.
He then raised his hand and waved outside. A door appeared on the green restriction at the entrance of the main hall. More than ten disciples of Wu Zhuang Taoist Temple filed in.
Qing Feng and Ming Yue, whom Shen Luo knew, were among them. The cultivation of the others had also reached the Mahayana Realm.
Qing Feng, Ming Yue, and the others stood in each corner of the main hall. They turned their hands and took out array flags, array disks, and other items. They cast spells to activate them.
Daoist Jie Yin also took out a black and white flag. His ten fingers moved quickly like wheels. The flag suddenly bloomed a black and white light beam.
Qing Feng, Ming Yue, and the others' array flags and array disks also rose with bursts of light. They connected with the black and white light beam and formed a hemispherical light shield, covering everyone in the hall.
The light shield was half black and half white, like a Tai Chi pattern.
Although the cultivators in the hall had promised to let Daoist Jie Yin investigate at will, many of them showed vigilance when they saw this scene.
"Everyone, please calm down. This is the Tai Chi biochemical formation of Wu Zhuang Taoist Temple. It specializes in investigation and has no offensive power," Daoist Jie Yin said.
Everyone was slightly relieved when they heard this.
When Daoist Jie Yin saw this, he activated the Tai Chi biochemical formation. The white light shield that originally covered the entire hall slowly shrank and slowly swept across everyone in the hall.
The cultivators who were swept by the white light shield could not help but feel that their entire bodies were being investigated.
Although this feeling was uncomfortable, Wu Zhuang Taoist Temple had lost the Ginseng Fruit. No matter what, they had to find the person who stole the fruit. Everyone could only acquiesce to Daoist Jie Yin's investigation.
Shen Luo's body was quickly swept by the Tai Chi biochemical formation. Countless probing waves swept across every inch of his body from all directions. The Glittering Jewel Ring was also invaded by the probing waves.
Shen Luo did not feel any psychological pressure. He calmly faced Daoist Jie Yin's probing and glanced at Ao Hong beside him.
Ao Hong's expression was calm. He allowed the white light shield to sweep across his body without any abnormalities.
Seeing this, Shen Luo's eyes flickered.
The Tai Chi biochemical formation quickly scanned all the cultivators in the hall and found nothing unusual.
The cultivators in the hall looked at each other and did not speak for a while.
"It seems that the thief hid very well. The Tai Chi biochemical formation can't detect him. Fellow Daoists, please wait a moment. I'll use this treasure to investigate!" Daoist Jie Yin frowned and said.
Then, he waved his hand. A golden light flashed in his palm and a bronze square box appeared. There was a window-shaped switch on it. It was tightly shut on the left and right. The words "Heaven and Earth" were written on it.
"What treasure is this?" Shen Luo could sense the astonishing spirit power contained in this square box from afar. He looked up and down curiously.
The others in the hall also looked puzzled. Obviously, they did not recognize this treasure.
"This is the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror!" Ao Hong's eyes widened slightly as he exclaimed.
"Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror? What treasure is this? "Shen Luo asked curiously.
The others nearby also heard Ao Hong's voice and looked over.
"That is a supreme treasure in the hands of Senior Zhen Yuan. It is said to communicate with Heaven and Earth. As long as there is enough Dharmic power, it can reflect all the places in the Three Realms," Ao Hong said slowly as he came back to his senses.
"There is such a treasure in the world!" Shen Luo was shocked.
"Fellow Daoist Ao Hong is indeed the Dragon Son of the Eastern Sea. You are experienced and knowledgeable. However, the real Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror is with the monastery master. Mine is only a replica. It can't explore the Three Realms and can only be used to investigate a certain person," Daoist Jie Yin also looked over and said with a smile.
"Even so, it is very impressive. How do you intend to investigate? Use this treasure to reflect on us one by one? "Ao Hong asked.
"Although it is a little offensive, this is the only way. Please forgive me," Daoist Jie Yin said as he looked around with cupped fists.
The cultivators in the hall had already been checked once. It was no big deal to do it again. No one raised any objections.
