The sky is clear and bright, the Three Alls Cave is bright, the Golden Chamber and Jade Chamber, the Five Treasures of Life... "The dim yellow light seeps out from the dilapidated ear room of the side hall, accompanied by low recitations. In the quiet night, it appears particularly serene and refreshing.

And once inside the ear chamber, this serene tranquility is instantly shattered by reality.

In the dark and cramped room, a greasy altar covered in red silk was placed by the window, taking up half of the space. Apart from that, there was only a narrow wooden bed squeezed in the corner. Both the offering table and the bedding are crooked and dilapidated.

At this moment, sitting on the high stool next to the altar were two Taoist children, both aged eleven or twelve, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. They were wearing blue gray Taoist robes that had been washed white and didn't fit well. They were yawning while shaking their heads and reciting scriptures in a low voice. Carrying it on his back, with a 'pop' sound, one of the Taoist children's scrolls fell to the ground.

The faint sound appeared particularly clear in the still night, and the drowsy children suddenly woke up.

Ah~~"The Dao Tong who dropped the book yawned, rubbed his eyes, and slowly lowered himself to pick up the book.

The other Taoist was startled and looked carefully at the door, saying, "Lingyu, be careful. If your master sees you, you'll be beaten with a ruler again

The Taoist named Lingyu waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Master won't be back so soon. Today is the night of the full moon, and Master will practice alone until dawn

However, Master has said that we cannot slack off while he is not around

I'm not being lazy, I'm just feeling sleepy, "Lingyu yawned again, got up and jumped off the high stool," I'm going to the thatched cottage

Saying this, he lit the lantern, carried it unsteadily, and left the ear room.

From the dilapidated ear chamber, it can be seen that this Taoist temple has long been in disrepair, and this is indeed the case. The walls collapsed in multiple places, the columns were tilted and crooked, dust was everywhere, spider webs were scattered, and even the plaque at the entrance of the Taoist temple fell down and was buried halfway in the soil. Except for the main hall dedicated to the Three Cleans, as well as the side hall and ear room where they lived, they were all in a state of disrepair.

This Taoist temple was once prosperous and flourishing a thousand years ago. At that time, it was still under the rule of the Great Qin Dynasty. When the founding emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Taizu, conquered the world, he witnessed a miracle here. Therefore, the Duke of Chu, who was enfeoffed here, built a Taoist temple on Baishui Mountain to worship the Three Pure Ones of the Taoist ancestors.

At that time, Baishui Temple was ranked first among the three major Taoist temples in the world, with a flourishing incense and a well-known reputation. It was a holy land of Taoism. Unfortunately, time passed by and the Great Qin fell apart, replaced by the Great Yan. The inheritance of the Baishui Temple was interrupted during the war, and the once prosperous Baishui lineage was lost.

Since the fall of the Great Qin Dynasty, Baishui Temple has been abandoned for hundreds of years and has never been rebuilt. Today, there are ruins everywhere, and the once magnificent scenery of the world's top temple is nowhere to be found.

Three years ago, a Taoist came to Baishui Mountain to pay tribute, and after tidying up a palace that could barely accommodate people, he moved in with two disciples.

This Taoist calls himself Xuanchenzi. Although he is poor and destitute, he still behaves moderately. He usually worships the Taoist ancestor with his disciples, plants vegetables and irrigates the garden, and lives a simple life. He neither seeks incense nor goes down the mountain to seek alms. He often shows some minor illnesses to the villagers in the mountains. Therefore, the villagers of Baishui Mountain assume that he is the master of Baishui Temple.

Of course, this Baishui Guanzhu has not been conferred by the imperial court, and seriously speaking, he is just a wild Taoist.

Although all the cultivators in the world are members of the Taoist sect, it has been a tradition for thousands of years that all monks and Taoists have official certificates as proof. Taoist temples and abbots are even conferred by the imperial court. If they do not have them, they can only be considered as wild Taoists and monks, and they still have to pay taxes and receive food.

Without any incense and having to pay taxes, life was extremely difficult. In addition, Xuanchenzi was strict and rigid, making him a difficult disciple.

Lingyu carried a piece of paper and a lantern, stumbling and stumbling to the thatched cottage behind the hall, then unbuttoned her pants and crouched down.

After a burst of water, Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up, and cautiously stepped out of the thatched cottage.

The so-called thatched cottage is actually just a deep pit dug, two pedals placed, and then covered with thatch. It is not only rudimentary, but also very dangerous. Lingyu has always avoided going to the thatched cottage at night, as she feels it's easy to fall off and

He held a lantern and scanned the shadows of the collapsed palace not far away, which was dark and particularly terrifying at night.

He shrank his neck and felt a cool breeze blowing in, quickly carrying the lantern and walking inside. If he couldn't hold it back, he really wouldn't want to come out to the thatched cottage at night

wait! chilly breeze? It feels like it's still there

Lingyu stiffened all over and stopped walking.

The feeling of cool breeze still lingers, it's chilly, and my hair stands on end. And it's the scorching heat of the season, and I'm sweating everywhere except my neck.

Can't it be, is there really that kind of thing? "Lingyu felt her legs trembling, and the feeling of her neck being blown by the cool breeze became even more pronounced, as if someone was behind him, slowly blowing

Calm down, calm down! "Lingyu wiped away her sweat, put down her lantern, and trembled as she picked up her finger

After reciting the Golden Light Mantra once, the voice of the Spirit Jade gradually calmed down, until "the golden light quickly appeared, covering the real person", and the Spirit Platform suddenly heated up, with a hidden golden light.
