Too immersed and too quiet, a wave of drowsiness surged over me, and I fell asleep deeply.
I slept very comfortably this time.
In the end, the coldness disappears, and what takes its place is a faint warmth.
When I woke up again, I could hear the sound of slightly noisy voices.
The first thing I did when I woke up was to touch the goosebumps bracelet.
I put my heart down and went to the door.
Through the crack in the door, I could see figures moving and intersecting.
After pushing the door open again, the figures became clearer. They were all devout worshippers who had come to seek omens and ask questions.
The number of Taoists was less than usual.
It made the Changfeng Taoist Temple seem much more crowded than usual.
There were only a few left, some of them hadn't even put on a green robe, just ordinary long cotton clothes.
I was a bit hungry in my stomach, so I knocked on Juxi's door.
Soon, Juxi came to open the door, and she looked sleepy-eyed.
"Let's go down the mountain," I said to Juxi.
"Oh?" Juxi was momentarily confused.
I turned to walk towards the door of the Taoist temple, and Juxi followed me reluctantly.
After going out of the door of the Taoist temple, I followed the path down the mountain.
Finally, Juxi came to her senses and chased after me, asking, "Brother-in-law, why did you suddenly go down the mountain? Didn't you look for the leader and Mr. Yang?"
I shook my head and said, "They are busy taking care of themselves, and it's already dawn. We can't keep starving ourselves."
"Oh... Will we go back again?"
"Hey..." Juxi suddenly turned around and looked in a certain direction.
I looked in the direction of the side glance and saw two green-robed Taoists following us far away in the distance.
The evil ghost in the report is not at fault, and the supervising Taoist Daoist is not idle, but he has not completely given up on me and Juxi.
Of course, they won't do anything, and they can't do much.
There are many small vendors and restaurants below the Changfeng Taoist Temple.
My sister-in-law and I went to have a good meal, then we slowly returned to the top of the Taoist temple.
After we entered the Taoist temple, the two green-robed Taoists also entered the crowd of pilgrims to interpret omens.
Juxi followed me to my room, asking me in confusion, "What happened last night inside the temple? How did it become like this today?"
I shook my head and said I didn't know.
Juxi pouted, her big eyes blinking rapidly.
"But I can't help feeling that you know, brother-in-law."
"I know, I just don't want to tell you."
I raised my eyebrows slightly, and my eyelids twitched.
Juxi's eyes brightened, and she pulled my hand, shaking it several times.
"Please tell me, brother-in-law. I swear, heaven knows, earth knows, you know and I know! At most...old Gong knows!"
"Indeed, I don't know." I shook my head again.
"Brother-in-law..." Juxi's mouth curved up high.
To be honest, Juxi is too smart.
I even don't know where I've shown any clues.
Or is it a woman's intuition that's so accurate?
Of course, I still shake my head to deny it.
"Hmm..."
Juxi finally let go of my sleeve.
She looked gloomy.
I let out a breath, then added a sentence, "With the trouble at the supervising TaoistDaoist site, it's best not to get involved. Even if I might know, I wouldn't touch it."
"Ah?"
Juxi was startled and then realized what it meant.
"Brother-in-law, that's why! You're so amazing!" She nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice.
Later, Juxi put her hands on her back and happily left my room.
Only when she closed the door did I close my eyes.
Women's intuition can be quite tricky...
Fortunately, Juxi didn't press on for answers.
Staying in my room, I didn't do anything else but take out the book with the Law of Destiny of Twelve Houses, quietly studying it.
I didn't read much else, just one page, the one about the Law of Destiny of Twelve Houses!
The twelve points are very complex acupoints in the human body, and what each point represents.
For a moment, I forgot about the passage of time and my mind was filled with the complex human body diagram.
I'm sure Sun Zhuo could never imagine that I would be studying at the supervising TaoistDaoist site on how to take back my destiny from him.
Suddenly, the sound of knocking on the door came.
"Who is it?" I asked in a deep voice, closing the book page and putting it back.
"Come out, Luo Xian. Your tone is a bit heavy," Zhang Xu said.
I went over to open the door, and Zhang Xu stood with a stern face at the door.
"Call the woman, Han Zhuangao wants to see you two," Zhang Xu said in a deep voice.
It was evening, with the setting sun like blood, casting a copper-red glow on several large cauldrons in the martial arts arena.
There were only a few scattered pilgrims left in the temple, all heading towards the exit.
It was almost dark, and the Changfeng Taoist Temple had to stop receiving incense offerings.
I maintained a calm demeanor and gave a faint smile before knocking on Juxi's door.
After Juxi came out, she still gave a little huff and rolled her eyes at Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu's face was even colder. He said nothing and led us to the rear hall.
Upon arriving in the main hall of the rear hall, I could see Han Zizi, as well as the female Taoist by his side, Si Yan!
Han Zizi had a slightly exhausted face, while Si Yan's face was tense.
"Tonight, you will leave the mountain. The things you take from the Huangsi here are."
Han Zizi raised his hand and threw a small bundle, which I caught in my hand.
"Han Zizi threw a small bundle, which I caught in my hand. "Zhang Xu and Si Yan follow you, make sure to find Wu leader and Yang manager of Huangsi to ensure the safety of Han Qubodi's body. The supervising Taoist Daoist site has had some trouble, and I need to concentrate on dealing with it. It would not be safe for me to stay here any longer." Han Zizi's tone was slightly weary.
"Yes, Elder Han," I nodded in agreement.
My gaze fell on Si Yan.
She treated me with even more coldness than before.
Yes, at first, she had no particular attitude towards me, but now it's cold.
Perhaps, it's still because I directly left the meat mountain and corpse forest.
"Zhang Xu, you must still ensure the safety of Luo Xian. Sun Zhuo has told me about his conflict with Luo Xian. He can stop protecting Luo Xian, but you, must follow my order." Han Zizi repeated the instruction to Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu's eyebrows were clearly knitted, but he still bowed and answered respectfully, "Serving the order of Elder Han."
"Nothing happened last night. Today, please go as soon as possible. Leave the mountain before it's dark. Don't return to the supervising Taoist Daoist site for a short time. Find a safe place and take Han Qubodi there. When you can come back, I will find you."
Han Zizi waved his hand, and there was even more fatigue in his eyes.
"This... Elder Han..."
Zhang Xu's expression finally changed.
"The evil ghost escaped yesterday. I don't know why, even though the talisman array could still control it for some time, it was suddenly broken. And even more strange, he could leave the supervising Taoist Daoist site completely, but he didn't."
"After thinking for a moment, I understood. It's because of resentment."
"After all, the Qiaojia Village was destroyed by us, and his brother was killed."
"Therefore, he wants to create chaos in the supervising Taoist Daoist site. Normally, he wouldn't be afraid of much, but now there is a prison with twenty-eight inmates here. If he ruins the place where they are kept, then this supervising Taoist Daoist site might become a mountain haunted by ghosts." Han Zizi spoke again, and his words caused me to change color abruptly.
