Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

Mr. Di returned to the corridor and was going to find Tao Gan, when he happened to see Tao Gan coming up from the stairs on the right, with a smug smile on his slender face, looking smug. "Tao Gan, where did you go just now? You made me wait so anxiously that I almost missed the big deal." "My lord, I can't miss the big deal. I'm looking for you everywhere! Momo has been captured alive by me." Duke Di was surprised: "Where is he?" Tao Gan led Mr. Di back down a flight of stairs, and saw a big man wearing a yellow robe lying on a dark corner—a man with a plump body and a strong body, he looked like Tianshi Sun—his hands and feet were bound.Di Gong leaned over and saw that it was indeed the young Taoist priest with the ugly face and weird eyes that he saw in the warehouse last night.

Di Gong turned around and asked Tao Gan, "How did you capture him?" "Master, when you went to Ziwei Pavilion to look for Tianshi Sun, I was waiting upstairs in the main hall. Suddenly I saw a black shadow flickering and seemed to be heading towards the east building. I followed him quickly. I saw him go upstairs. I hurried Going around the back stairs, I rushed to this corner one step earlier and set up a stumbling block secretly. How could Momo know that when he turned down the stairs in a hurry, he tripped and fell, and his nose and eyes were swollen. He hasn't figured out what happened, and I The living rope had already strangled his neck, tightened it tightly, and bound his hands and feet at the same time. It took a while to loosen the noose around his neck."

Di Gongdao: "You let Momosong go! The real culprit is not him. He is the brother of Miss Liu who was murdered last year. He came here to investigate and avenge his sister." Tao Gan was stunned: "Master, in this case, who is the real culprit?" "The real culprit, the culprit, is Sun Yiming! He has fully confessed to his crimes. Five lives, bloody debts, and finally he died under the law." Di Gong then told Tao Gan in detail how he discovered the secret of the yin-yang and Taiji symbols, how he broke into the secret room, how he dealt with Sun Tianshi, and finally tricked him into the wooden fence of the east building and pushed him down the Baizhang abyss. again.

Finally he said: "At first I never thought that the real culprit would be such a famous Sun Tianshi. It was only after Zhenzhi's crimes were exposed that I began to suspect him." Tao Gan was puzzled: "The exposure of true wisdom is nothing more than related to the death of Yu Jing and the three women last year. How could the master suspect that Mrs. Sun committed crimes?" "After Zhenzhi's death, Sun Tianshi told me that he seldom asked about the things in the temple, but Zhenzhi told me personally that Sun Tianshi was very concerned about and very interested in every matter in the temple. Later, he actually wanted to lure me to confess in front of Tianshi Sun. His purpose was to use Tianshi Sun’s power to persuade me. If Tianshi Sun didn’t know the inside story and didn’t directly participate in the evil deeds, Zhenzhi would be too late to hide it. How dare he confess his crimes in front of Tianshi Sun? However, Sun Tianshi didn’t do it, and kept on killing him, and pushed him from the platform to the bottom of the building and smashed him to pieces.”

"If it is said that the death of a true wisdom is one's own fault and one's own disaster, then Sun Tianshi's death can be said to be 'self-inflicted, not to live'. Although the teachings of Taoism are nonsense, the two maxims engraved on the wall of Wang Jing's underground palace "There is no way for misfortune or good fortune, only people call on themselves. The rewards of good and evil follow each other like a shadow." It is quite reasonable." Di Gong and Tao Gan untied Momo and told him in detail how Sun Tianshi killed five people by himself.

Momo asked anxiously: "Where is that thief prisoner now? Wait for me to kill him with a sword, and avenge my sister!" Di Gongdao: "There is a lot of evil, he has fallen into the hell of Avici, and he can no longer do evil in the world." Momo was still dismayed, only hated not being able to kill all these evil prisoners with his own hands. Di Gong said to Tao Gan: "Go and call Daoqing at this moment and tell him that Sun Tianshi accidentally fell to his death, and quickly gather all the Taoists to arrange sacrifices, lay out rituals, recommend and save the true wisdom and the soul of Sun Tianshi. When I returned to Hanyuan, I drafted the text of the memorial and distributed it to the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Rites and the Yin Zhengya Hall of Jingzhao reported to the superiors what happened in Chaoyun Temple in detail, and then sent the Yamen here to demolish the Ten Halls of Yama and strictly ordered From now on, it is not allowed to collect or live in Taoist nuns Huang Guan, in order to put an end to adultery and reform the palace rules."

Leader Tao ordered to go to Daoqing again.Declare Di Gong's will. Duke Dee staggered back to his room.Only then did he feel dizzy and weak, and his eyes were so sore that he could barely open them. The golden morning light came through the window and shone on Di Gong's pale and haggard face. ——Overnight, it seemed like ten years had passed. When Di Gong returned to the room, the three ladies had already got up and were putting on makeup and dressing up. Mrs. Di said: "The master wandered all night, and finally thought of coming back. You see, the sun is already high." Duke Di laughed and said, "Are you all ready? The groom may already be waiting outside the mountain."

Mrs. Di said: "It's really like a dream. Last night, it was windy and rainy, and there were thunder and lightning. Now it's so sunny and the mountains are bright. Thinking about it, today's journey must be very pleasant." Di Gong couldn't help but whispered to himself: "It's really like a dream."
