Chapter 23 The Ruined Taoist Temple (1/2)

Speaking of which, this was not the first time that Wen Jiubo asked for my help during an exorcism. I suddenly recalled that when we were in Beining City, Wen Jiubo asked me to give him a pen and used it to exorcize the Wangliang.

Even if I was a psychic, I definitely didn’t have any talent in exorcism…Why did Wen Jiubo want my help from time to time?

“Don’t overestimate yourself.” Bai suddenly jumped out, it held onto my clothes and climbed up to the top of my head and brought me back down to earth. “You’re not even close.”

“Shut up, it’s none of your business!”

“See, you’re so full of yourself!”

“I’m better than you, weasel!”

“What did you just say? Hey, do you dare to say that again?”

I felt disinclined to argue with Bai, so I looked at Wen Jiubo. “Are we done here? Can we go back?”

Honestly, I was worried about Chu Bai. I didn’t know how she was doing.

“No, not yet,” said Wen Jiubo, as he put the paper man in his pocket. “We have one last step.”

“What is it?”

“Imprison Gudiao in a deserted place, far away from villages.”

We drove away from this village for around two hours, As I began to fall asleep, the Ferrari abruptly stopped. I almost banged my head against the window.

“Wen Jiubo! Don’t you know how to stop a car, I almost——”

Before I could finish my sentence, Wen Jiubo opened the door and stepped out. Something seemed wrong. What was going on?

“Ah, are we there?” Bai rubbed his eyes and sat up on my shoulder. “You woke me up before I could eat the fish…”

I ignored that weasel and stepped out of the car as well.

I was astounded by what I saw. I didn’t expect to see a small Taoist temple in a remote area like this. Judging from its look, this temple had been abandoned for a long time. Among the scattered objects on the ground, there was a broken statue of Kuan Yin (Goddess of Mercy), an incense burner, and a bronze altar which had been deliberately broken by someone. There were also some paper charms that had been torn to pieces.

“This is…” I was stunned. “Did someone rob this place?”

“I don’t think so. Why did a thief want to steal from a ruined Taoist temple?” Bai became serious. He jumped off my shoulder and crouched on the ground to smell the scent. “Nothing has gone missing. All the stuff here was intentionally broken by someone. Ah, I see, this is why the Gudiao managed to escape.”

Wen Jiubo didn’t answer, but his gloomy expression revealed everything.

Could it be that someone intentionally released the Gudiao from his seal by destroying the temple? I looked suspiciously at Wen Jiubo, but he ignored me.

“Let’s clean it up. This time, my seal is far more powerful than before, and it won’t be broken so easily.” Upon saying this, Wen Jiubo restored the incense burner to its upright position.

Bai and I looked at each other before helping Wen Jiubo clean up the temple.

We didn’t stop until five in the afternoon. After Wen Jiubo put the sealed paper man in the right place, we drove back to Yan University. We arrived at seven in the evening. I was hungry when I got off the car.

“Are you hungry? Do you want to come to my place? I’ll cook some dinner for you to thank you for your help,” Wen Jiubo rubbed my hair and said. I was too tired to push him away.
