Chapter 26 The Last Trip

In this cold night, it is so cool that ordinary people in the world can tremble, and the last candlelight in the hut is extinguished, so I can only see all this with the moonlight above my head.

Chen Liang saw that Qing Ning, dressed in Taoist children's outfit, solemnly handed the pear to herself. A happy smile appeared on her serious face, and behind her was her narrow shadow.

"I never eat this worldly thing, you know!" Chen Liang took the pear, but had no intention of eating it.

"Master Stupid Taoist, you don't know anything except for practicing and understanding Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. You are so stupid! You must know that although everything in this world is not worth mentioning, there are many interesting things. For example, there are many delicious foods in Qing Ning, such as saying that Qing Ning likes it very much..." When he said this, Qing Ning's cheeks suddenly turned red again, he stopped hesitating, and finally said vaguely, "Anyway, there are many interesting things. Master Stupid Taoist, you don't have to always think about practicing these things. You can try something else occasionally!"

The moonlight hit Qingning's red face, revealing her weird and shy expression. Chen Liang saw Qingning's look of wanting to stop and could not fully understand what she said. But seeing Qingning's still serious and persistent look, he could only pick up the pear in his hand.

There have been many medicinal and spiritual objects planted in Luoyan Sect, which medicinal and spiritual objects have been eaten, and Chen Liang has also tasted the so-called ups and downs and spicy tastes, but he doesn’t know what the so-called pear tastes in front of him.

He bit it hard and heard the sound he made. The crisp pear swallowed into his mouth, and a sweet smell went straight down his throat, like some spiritual object that he had eaten in Luoyan Sect.

This feels very familiar, just like that the spiritual object is not a spiritual object, but a pear in his hand.

"The old lady is very nice. I left most of my things here for her." Qing Ning looked at the pile of things in front of her and said with some distress.

This time she secretly called out the stupid Taoist priest, just to take advantage of the old lady's rest and leave it to her.

Chen Liang did not object. He would not eat the pile of things in front of him anyway, and it was not Qing Ning's in the end. However, he looked at Qing Ning looking at his pair of things, and showed a life-losing expression on his face, and secretly smiled in his heart.

"The old lady can only live for another year or two at most, and these things are useless to her." Chen Liang told Qingning directly the results obtained by observing the Qi-seeking technique in the afternoon.

But even though he saw the result, he had no intention of helping the old lady delay her life span, because he knew that this was not a good thing for the old lady.

"Even if it may not be useful to the old lady, I have to thank her. Moreover, I heard what I said in the afternoon and thought of a good idea just now." Qing Ning said confidently, and then quietly told Chen Liang about his plan.

Chen Liang and Qingning left the next day. After Old Mrs. Han watched them leave, she turned around and walked towards her room. As soon as the two of them left, the room would become deserted again. Although she was used to it, she probably wouldn't have a chance to see Taoist coming again.

Old Mrs. Han endured it for a long time, but still didn't say it. Please ask a stranger to take her, the old guy, to a somewhat distant Taoist temple, which is somewhat inappropriate.

"In the world, no matter what, you have to admire the world, ghosts and gods." Old Mrs. Han walked back to the house and said to herself to the empty house, "In the afternoon, I have to go to Xiao Yan's house."

She sat down and said to herself how long it would take. She recalled the days when she served the Taoist temple. After a few hours, she suddenly heard the sound of knocking at the door. She walked slowly towards the door, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she opened the door to look.

If she hadn't served in Taoist temple for a long time, she would have really been shocked.

There was a wooden man controlled by a talisman standing at the door. Although the wooden man looked a little ferocious, his appearance was not much different from a young man in his twenties. If he hadn't put on his clothes and had two runes from outside the door, he would have no difference from a real person if he didn't look carefully.

"They are very grateful to you and let them stay for two nights, so they created me with the Taoist technique to help you do things." The wooden man said one after another. Although he looked similar to an ordinary person, he did not have the intelligence of ordinary people, and he would go one after another when he spoke.

Looking at the wooden man, Old Mrs. Han was stunned. When she thought that she was still thinking about the two people, she was a little happy, and the wrinkles on her face were smiling together.

"I have lived alone like this for decades and have become accustomed to it. You might as well go back and let me live alone until the day I die." Old Mrs. Han sighed long, with a hint of loneliness on her face.

The most terrible thing for her was not death, but being used to this lonely life that was thinking about the Taoist temple. Living alone in a place where this Taoist temple will never appear again, until she wanted to go to the Taoist temple for the last time before she died.

"Because I have Taoist skills, I am very strong and can work. As long as I don't let the island burn, I can do any work." The wooden man still said word by word.

"I am so old, what else can I do? And someone will come to take care of me. Go back and go back to the side of the Taoist men." At this time, a gust of wind blew, and Old Mrs. Han's body couldn't stand it, so she started to cough.

"I can carry you to the Taoist temple, any Taoist temple you want to go to." The wooden man shook his head and said stubbornly, indicating that Shen Liang and the others participated in the order in the Taoist technique when they were creating themselves, and that they must stay with Old Mrs. Han.

Old Mrs. Han was coughing repeatedly, and when she heard this, her whole body trembled, and her hand holding the wooden door almost let go. Her originally aging face regained a hint of spirit, and she looked at the wooden man in front of her in surprise.

"They said that Bai Yang you have been thinking about was seen by the time you passed by, and it was abandoned long ago. If you worship, you can go to their Jiangyang Temple, which only takes a few days to walk. But their Taoist temple is relatively remote, and there are not many people coming and going to worship. If you want to go to a larger Taoist temple, I can also accompany you." The wooden man said mechanically, "But they didn't tell me where there is a big Taoist temple, because they themselves don't know."

Old Mrs. Han walked into the room with her back hunched over, her hands trembling so hard that she couldn't stop. She trembled in an old wooden box in the room for a long time, and finally released a piece of yellowed paper. The paper had been kept by her for decades. If it weren't for keeping it carefully, the paper would have been weathered.

The paper was spread on the table, and someone drew a map. Old Mrs. Han looked at every place on it excitedly, but her eyes were blurred and she couldn't see clearly. But she still stared at the map seriously, and she was crying when she looked at it.

"When I was not old, someone passing by drew me this picture. Look, we are here now," said Mrs. Han, pointing to a circle in the painting. Because her old eyes were blurred and a little excited, she pointed several times before pointing to the right place. "And this place, a place far away from us, is Lingxiao Temple. The man told me that Lingxiao Temple is the largest Taoist temple in Qingzhou, and our village is not worth mentioning at all compared to the nearby Taoist temples, because Lingxiao Temple has the most believers in Qingzhou. There are countless Taoists with profound Taoism in the temple, so the incense is very popular and has never been cut off all year round."

"At that time, I thought about seeing the largest Taoist temple in Qingzhou, seeing how powerful the Taoists there are, and seeing how the incense there is. Unfortunately, I always felt very busy at that time and had no time to come and go. Over the years, I wanted to see the largest Lingxiao Temple but failed to achieve it, which is the biggest regret in my heart."

"Can you understand this kind of relationship?"

"I don't understand!" The wooden man replied neatly. Because Shen Liang and Qingning didn't tell it, it couldn't understand, but it replied one after another, "But as long as you want to go, I will accompany you to Lingxiao Temple."

"Yes, I want to go. I'm old, I can't do anything. I don't know when I will never wake up again, but this is the last chance!" Old Mrs. Han smiled hard, looked down at the map, pointed to the place where Ling Xiaoguan was on the map and asked, "Do you know where this is?"

The wooden man walked into the room, stretched his head and looked at the place where Mrs. Han pointed, and shook his head.

"Then do you know where this place is?" Old Mrs. Han was a little disappointed, but did not give up. She pointed to a place near Lingxiaoguan and continued to ask.

The wooden man looked at the place. Neither Shen Liang nor Qing Ning had been to it, so it was naturally a strange place.

Old Mrs. Han sighed, because she was too excited, her body couldn't bear it anymore, so she stopped and rested. Then, she continued to point to a place further away from Lingxiao Temple and asked.

Finally, the place that Muren knew was in a small town near Anshi City, which was the place where Shen Liang and Qingning passed when they came back.

"Then let's start from here and then ask the town's people where they will go." Old Mrs. Han said excitedly with hope, "I wonder how long it will take to go from there to Lingxiao Temple? How much things do we need to prepare?"

"Don't worry, you can prepare slowly. The little Taoist techniques they left in my body can support me to survive for a year and a half. As long as I have their little Taoist techniques in my body, I can still move. Even if I can only climb on the ground in the end, I will carry you to Lingxiao Temple." The wooden man said one after another, as if he had racked his brains to come up with it in order to make Old Mrs. Han feel relieved.

"I can prepare slowly and spend three months and half a year to prepare. No matter how far the road is, I will come to it alone." Old Mrs. Han nodded, and the plan finally began.

"You are not alone! I will go to Lingxiao Temple with you on my back." The wooden man immediately corrected the wrong statement of Old Mrs. Han.

Old Mrs. Han smiled, looked at Mu Ren and said nothing, and she entered a state of dullness.

She slowly recalled the past in her mind. When the Taoist temple was prosperous, she stood in front of the Taoist temple in the village and watched the people coming and going to worship, and the incense of the Taoist temple was prosperous.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but imagine that she had walked to Lingxiao Temple and saw how majestic the largest Taoist temple in Qingzhou was. She saw that the visitors in this Taoist temple had broken the threshold. And just as she was when she was young, she helped these people communicate with Taoists in the temple and was busy all the time.
