Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect

After Xu Yeyu left Xining Town, he followed the direction indicated by the map and came to Qingquan Villa.

Qingquan Villa is surrounded by green mountains.

At the entrance is a quaint stone bridge with clear water flowing under it. Both sides of the bridge are planted with tall bamboos with swaying shadows.

At the end of the bridge is a solemn memorial archway with a mahogany carved plaque engraved with four golden characters "Qingquan Villa".

Under the archway, a winding path winds its way into the depths of the villa, with verdant pine trees and blooming plum blossoms planted on both sides.

Walking along the path, you can see a green lawn dotted with several exquisite flower beds with various flowers blooming in them.

Xu Yeyu saw two monks chatting, so he came over to them.

"Hello, both of you. I've been asked to deliver a letter to Taoist Hu," said Xu Yeyu.

The male monk turned his head and sensed the cultivation level of the man in front of him, which was one level higher than his.

"A letter to Uncle Hu? I wonder who asked you to deliver the letter?" asked the female monk.

When Xu Yeyu saw that the two men knew Taoist Hu, he took out the letter given to him by Uncle Lin from his storage ring.

"Mr. Lin from Xining Town said he would give this letter to Taoist Priest Hu."

"Master Hu hasn't come down the mountain for many years. I didn't expect that someone still knew him..."

Before the male monk could finish his words, he was stepped on by the female monk.

"Can you speak? When Master Hu was out exorcising demons, you weren't even born yet."

The woman clasped her fists towards Xu Yeyu and continued, "The man next to me is quite straightforward, so don't pay any attention to him. Since you are here to see Master Hu, please follow me in."

Xu Yeyu nodded, "Thank you for your help then."

He followed the nun into the courtyard.

The villa's buildings are well-arranged and mainly consist of several courtyards with green tiles and white walls.

In the center of Qingquan Villa is a small and exquisite pavilion, which contains a round table and several bamboo chairs.

Outside the pavilion, a pool of clear water flows quietly, with a few white lotus flowers floating on the water and occasionally koi swimming.

Xu Yeyu followed the female monk into a study room, where an old man in a blue Taoist robe was looking for a book in front of the bookshelf.

The female monk clasped her fists towards the old man and said, "Uncle Hu, a fellow Taoist is here to see you."

Taoist Priest Hu turned his head and looked at Xu Yeyu.

"Xiaolan, you go down first." said Taoist Priest Hu.

The female monk bowed and then left the study, leaving only Xu Yeyu and Taoist Hu.

Taoist Priest Hu coughed a few times and said, "I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

Xu Yeyu took out the letter given to him by Mr. Lin from his arms and handed it to Taoist Hu.

"I have been asked to pass on a letter to you."

Taoist Priest Hu asked curiously, "Who asked you to send this letter to me?"

"Uncle Lin from Xining Town." Xu Yeyu replied.

When Taoist Master Hu heard the name, he coughed a few more times.

"Master Hu, are you okay?" Xu Yeyu asked.

Taoist Priest Hu stroked his beard and said, "I am just old. You don't need to worry too much. You should be able to see that my time is coming to an end."

The cultivator in front of him was very young, probably no more than twenty years old, and his cultivation level was higher than his.

A cultivator with such talent should be a disciple of a large sect.

Xu Yeyu could see that the aura emanating from Taoist Hu was like a fragile candle flame that could be blown out by the breeze at any time.

Every breakthrough on the path of cultivation means an improvement in realm and also symbolizes the continuation of life.

If a monk cannot break through to the next level before the deadline, he will die.

"If Taoist Hu gets more rest, he should be able to live a few more years," said Xu Yeyu.

Taoist Priest Hu smiled and then said, "Now that my time is up, I no longer dream of immortality. Living a little longer is not important to me."

"I became a monk because I wanted to help ordinary people slay demons and monsters."

"Now that I'm old, I can no longer do such a thing. If a demon appears within a few hundred feet, the younger generations of Qingquan Villa will also take action."

Most of the people who practice Taoism suffer from rebirth and death, but some monks tend to be indifferent to their own life and death when their end is approaching.

Taoist Priest Hu is one of these monks.

Taoist Priest Hu stroked his beard and continued, "I haven't left Qingquan Villa for many years. I am a little inconvenient physically. I wonder how Mr. Lin is doing..."

"Uncle Lin looks very energetic." Xu Yeyu said.

Taoist Priest Hu opened the envelope and read the contents.

"Now that the letter has been handed to you, I will take my leave now."

Xu Yeyu turned around. Since Uncle Lin's commission had been completed, he naturally didn't need to stay here any longer.

"Please stay, young friend. I would like to ask you for a favor. Of course, you will be paid."

Xu Yeyu turned around and asked, "I wonder if Taoist Hu needs my help?"

In fact, Xu Yeyu had already guessed that Taoist Hu would want him to deliver a letter to Mr. Lin.

"I want you to help me deliver a letter to Mr. Lin, and a pen."

Taoist Priest Hu stroked his beard and asked, "What reward did Uncle Lin give you to deliver this letter?"

"Ten taels of silver." Xu Yeyu replied.

Taoist Priest Hu was stunned for a moment. Ten taels of silver were really not important to a cultivator of the third realm.

"Then I will give you ten taels of silver. Could you please go there for me?" asked Taoist Priest Hu.

When Xu Yeyu heard this, he realized that he could still make ten taels of silver. In less than half a day, he could make twenty taels of silver!

"no problem."

"Wait a moment, my friend. I will write a letter."

After Master Hu finished speaking, he walked into a small room in the study.

After a while, Taoist Priest Hu came out with a letter, a pen, and a bag containing ten taels of silver.

"Then I'll trouble you to help me make the trip."

Xu Yeyu took the things that Taoist Priest Hu handed over and said, "I'll go find Uncle Lin right away."

......

......

Xu Yeyu returned to Xining Town and came to the door of Mr. Lin's house.

He knocked on the wooden door and said, "Uncle Lin, the letter you entrusted to me has been handed over to Taoist Master Hu. I have a letter from Taoist Master Hu here, and he asked me to deliver it to you."

Uncle Lin opened the wooden door and said, "Young man, I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

He handed a bag containing ten taels of silver to Xu Yeyu.

Xu Yeyu handed the letter and pen to Mr. Lin.

After seeing this, Mr. Lin sighed and asked, "Master Hu, is he going to die?"

Xu Yeyu nodded and said, "Master Hu is old, he probably won't last until next year."

Mr. Lin stood there and said nothing more.

"I have brought the letter. I will take my leave now."

After Xu Yeyu finished speaking, he left Uncle Lin's house.

It was getting late now, and he needed to find an inn to have a meal and then stay overnight.

As he walked, he was thinking about the relationship between Taoist Master Hu and Old Man Lin.
