The Extreme Princess
Chapter 143 The Miserable Taoist Temple
Just as Gu Yue finished speaking, several figures came from a distance and stopped Gu Yue and his companions.
The leader was a bald old monk with a big belly and a smiling face. His image reminded Gu Yue of the well-known 'Great Buddha Maitreya' in his previous life.
"Everyone..."
"do not know."
"I don't know."
"do not ask me."
"hurry up!"
After saying that, Gu Yue glanced at the big bald man in front of him, called out to Yuan Lu and the other person, then turned around and left.
"Uh..."
The bald guy looked at Gu Yue with astonishment on his face, his body even remaining slightly bent. He seemed to want to say something, but Gu Yue and his companions did not walk fast and had already walked quite a distance.
"Uncle Master, these people might be possessed by ghosts!"
Behind the bald man, a young man twirling Buddhist beads in his hands whispered.
Hearing this, the bald man nodded slightly. As his eyes flashed, a light golden spiritual power burst out of his body and drilled into the ground, then quietly followed Gu Yue and the others.
"Recently, monsters and bad guys have been appearing frequently in the forests, so please be alert..."
The bald man put one hand on his chest, muttered a few slogans, and said: "Mortals are weak, and as cultivators, the greater our abilities, the greater our responsibilities. Cultivating Taoism and longevity means that our duties will never cease. You must remember this."
"Disciple should remember the teachings of Uncle Master!"
About six or seven young bald men all bowed and replied in unison, with extremely pious expressions on their faces.
Upon hearing this, the big bald head nodded with satisfaction, withdrew his gaze from the direction where Gu Yue and the others left, and quickly left the place with the little bald heads behind him.
If Gu Yue and others were present, she would definitely be shocked and confused.
Not only are the actions of these bald men similar to those of the Chenfu Palace, but they are even worse.
But these people are too similar to the Buddhist sect in her previous life.
However, even though she didn't hear the conversation between the big and small bald heads, Gu Yue already felt a little doubtful in her heart.
While Gu Yue was wondering, the Taixu Lingmarten in her arms suddenly flashed its eyes and jumped out of her arms.
Seeing this, Gu Yue was stunned for a moment, but soon understood. He pondered and said, "Let's look for any sect forces nearby..."
"okay!"
The Taixu Lingmarten responded, and used its little paws to pull a few stones under its feet, then suddenly jumped out.
After the few people walked away, a very small magic circle rose up at the place where Taixu Lingdiao had originally landed. Faintly, there seemed to be a golden light moving and shining in it.
However, no matter how hard the golden light tried, it could not break through the constraints of the magic circle and could only be trapped in the magic circle.
An outward-emitting spiritual power was like a rootless fire. Although it was strong enough, it was obviously not enough to break through the magic circle set up by Taixu Lingdiao.
About two hours later, Gu Yue and his companions had found a place to rest, and Taixu Lingdiao just returned.
As soon as Taixu Spirit Marten landed, he shouted angrily, "You are going too far. I am working so hard outside, and you are actually slacking off here!"
"What is the taste!"
As he spoke, Taixu Lingdiao, who was about to roll over and throw a tantrum, twitched his nose a few times and looked in the direction of Lin Chengmo.
Lin Chengmo fiddled with the work in his hands and chuckled, "Just waiting for you to come back."
"Ahhh, venison!"
The Taixu Spirit Marten cheered and quickly rushed towards where Lin Chengmo was.
Gu Yue didn't say anything the whole time.
She just didn't believe that Taixu Lingdiao didn't see what Lin Chengmo's hand was when he flew back.
This guy is getting more and more abstract...
Gu Yue and Yuan Lu looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Did you find it?"
Gu Yue walked slowly to the side of Taixu Lingdiao and squatted gently.
"It's time to eat!"
Taixu Lingmarten puffed up his cheeks and said incoherently, "Don't bother me!"
Snapped!
Gu Yue slapped Taixu Lingmarten on the forehead without any hesitation, and the venison in its mouth almost spit out.
"tigress!"
Taixu Lingmarten finally swallowed the food in his mouth, stretched out his greasy claws and rubbed his head, "Thirty miles away, there is a Pingpu Mountain, there are several monks there!"
"Pingpu Mountain?"
Gu Yue asked: "What level of power?"
The Taixu Spirit Marten waved his paw meaninglessly, "A few small vegetables, the kind that I can wipe out with just one paw."
Snapped!
"speak English!"
Taixu Lingdiao held his head with his paws, his face full of pain.
"Isn't what I said human language but bird language?" Taixu Lingmarten complained in his heart and said aggrievedly:
"Three sixth realms, seven fifth realms, thirty-six realms below fifth realm..."
Gu Yue nodded slightly.
When the few people, led by Taixu Lingdiao, appeared at the foot of Pingpu Mountain and looked around, it was already getting dark.
"Go up and take a look..."
After a while, Gu Yue said softly, and then walked up the mountain.
The road on Pingpu Mountain is flat and not winding, and the grass and trees are weak, with branches and leaves withered and yellow.
The entire mountain range is not guarded by a decent magic array. There are only a few dilapidated psychedelic arrays scattered across the mountain range.
This level and old magic array is good for dealing with ordinary people, but if the opponent is a cultivator, I am afraid it will not be able to trap even a cultivator of the third or fourth realm!
Logically speaking, as a monk in the mountains, almost no one would be willing to set up a temple in such a spiritually barren place.
With curiosity in their hearts, they gradually approached the top of the mountain as the sun slowly set.
"Everyone..."
On the side of the mountain top, next to a crooked tree about four or five meters high, an old man in coarse linen clothes suddenly appeared and blocked the way of several people.
The old man had a pale face and a thin body, looking malnourished. His slightly sunken eyes looked at Gu Yue and the others warily.
By this time, the sky was gradually darkening.
Even with Yuan Lu and the other person by her side, Gu Yue was still frightened by the old man's appearance.
Gu Yue patted his chest lightly, exhaled a long breath, and after calming down, he said, "Don't be nervous, old man. We are just passing by here. It's getting late. I wonder if we can find a place to stay?"
The old man frowned slightly, "Passing by?"
Gu Yue smiled and nodded, trying to soften her tone, "We encountered some strange things on the road today, and I would like to ask for your advice..."
The old man stared at Gu Yue and the others, as if he was thinking.
"Come with me..."
If it were those people, they wouldn't have walked up the mountain step by step...
After pondering for a while, the old man sighed and took Gu Yue and others to the top of the mountain.
Pingpu Mountain is barren. Under the guidance of the old Taoist priest, the group passed through a layer of foggy area, and the view ahead suddenly became clear.
However, in the eyes of Gu Yue and others, this bright and open forest was actually not much different from the original one.
A dilapidated Taoist temple stands here, and the three characters "Qingtian Temple" on the plaque at the entrance have almost half of their paint lost.
"Well..."
In Gu Yue's arms, the Taixu Lingmarten suddenly poked its head out, blinked its big eyes, and looked curiously at the old Taoist temple in front of it.
"Monster...monster!"
When the old man saw the wild cat's head sticking out from Gu Yue's arms, he was suddenly frightened and stepped back.
"Don't be anxious, old man!"
Seeing the old man's pale face and expression of fear, Gu Yue grabbed Taixu Lingdiao's head and hurriedly spoke to comfort him.
After a long while, the old man reluctantly accepted Gu Yue's explanation and walked towards the Taoist temple with a few people. However, as he walked, he seemed still worried and kept glancing at Gu Yue's arms out of the corner of his eyes.
[Such a timid Yuan Dan...]
Gu Yue and the others looked at each other, all of them feeling helpless, and at the same time, even more curious.
"Xu Feng and Chen Liang, we have guests coming. Go and prepare some food. Also, clean up two guest rooms..."
"Yes, Master!"
In the courtyard, two middle-aged Taoist priests who were packing some dry herbs and medicines heard the old man's instructions, and hurriedly retracted their curious gazes and left.
"Old sir, there are also some Taoists in your Qingtian Temple, how come..."
"Girl, you want to ask why you are living such a miserable life, right?"
The old man pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
Gu Yue felt a little embarrassed.
But she was curious about this matter.
A cultivator in Yuandan realm.
He has already entered the ranks of orthodox monks. No matter what, he only occupies a mountain top full of spiritual energy and is self-sufficient. He should not have fallen to this point.
Just now, Gu Yue's spiritual consciousness swept across the Taoist temple. The number of cultivators in it was almost the same as what Taixu Lingdiao said, but they were all cultivators who were already old.
Like the two middle-aged Taoist priests who looked to be around forty years old, they were already considered young in the entire Taoist temple!
