The princess arrives and the prosperous Tang Dynasty begins

After meeting at a market in the Tang Dynasty, Lin Xiao and Li Xuan decided to explore this mysterious and ancient world together. The market was bustling with people, and all kinds of vendors were selling a wide variety of goods, fragrant barbecue stalls, skilled craftsmen, and artists with unique skills... All of this was so new to Lin Xiao. However, their exploration had just begun.

One day, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing, making people feel particularly comfortable. Li Xuan and Lin Xiao were walking in the park, enjoying a good time. Suddenly, Li Xuan said to Lin Xiao mysteriously: "I heard that there is an ancient temple that can predict the future!" Lin Xiao's eyes lit up and asked curiously: "Really? Where is the temple?" Li Xuan told him that the ancient temple was located deep in a bamboo forest outside the city. Although there were many legends, only a few people had actually been there. After hearing this, Lin Xiao excitedly agreed to the proposal. They immediately began to pack their luggage and prepared to set out to explore this mysterious ancient temple.

They walked along the winding path, their feet stepped on the soft soil, making subtle sounds. The surrounding bamboo forest became more and more dense, as if it isolated the outside world, making people feel that they were already in another world. As they went deeper, an indescribable mysterious atmosphere filled the air, as if some force was guiding them to their destination.

The bamboo forest was unusually quiet, except for the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the bamboo leaves, and the occasional crisp chirping of birds, but no birds were seen. All this made Lin Xiao and Li Xuan nervous and excited, as if they were about to uncover a long-hidden secret.

Finally, they saw an ancient temple in front of them. The temple was simple and elegant, with red walls and black tiles, revealing the traces of time. In front of the temple door hung a plaque with the three words "Prophecy Temple" written in antique fonts, revealing a solemn and mysterious feeling between the lines.

Lin Xiao and Li Xuan looked at each other, and a feeling of anticipation surged in their hearts. They carefully pushed open the temple door and stepped inside. The atmosphere inside the temple was more mysterious than outside. The air was filled with smoke, making the entire space hazy. There were all kinds of offerings and incense burners placed around, emitting a faint fragrance.

In the center was a lifelike statue, several feet tall and solemn. The statue had a kind and majestic face, and its eyes were as deep as the abyss, as if it could see into people's hearts. When they met the statue's eyes, they felt an irresistible pressure, as if their deepest thoughts were seen through. This feeling made the two of them feel awed and dared not offend easily.

The two of them devoutly lit incense and bowed to the statue to show their respect. Suddenly, the incense burner in the temple ignited by itself, and some vague patterns appeared in the smoke. Li Xuan exclaimed: "This is the manifestation of the immortal. It seems that we are lucky enough to receive guidance from the gods."

At this moment, the eyes of the statue seemed to move, and then a low and majestic voice came from the temple: "Predestined people, your arrival is not accidental. On this road, you will encounter many fantastic events and dangerous challenges. But as long as you have good intentions and move forward bravely, you will overcome all difficulties and find your own answers."

Lin Xiao and Li Xuan looked at each other, surprised and delighted by the sudden voice. Lin Xiao asked in a low voice: "Respected God, how should we face these upcoming challenges?"

The voice of the statue continued, "There is a hermit Taoist priest ahead. He will teach you some Taoist skills. This knowledge will help you overcome difficulties. Remember, keep good intentions in your heart and don't forget your original intention."

As the sound disappeared, the smoke in the temple gradually dissipated and calm returned. After Lin Xiao and Li Xuan saluted again, they left the ancient temple with the guidance of the gods.

Walking out of the ancient temple, Lin Xiao felt a fresh breeze on her face. She took a deep breath, her heart full of expectation and courage. Li Xuan smiled and said, "It seems that our journey is destined to be extraordinary. Since the gods have guided us to find the Taoist priest, let's go in this direction."

They continued walking and came to a deeper bamboo forest. This bamboo forest seemed to hide some secrets. Lin Xiao and Li Xuan walked forward carefully, not daring to be careless. Finally, they found a simple little hut deep in the bamboo forest.

A white-haired old man sat in front of the hut. His eyes showed deep wisdom, as if he could see through people's hearts. Lin Xiao and Li Xuan stepped forward to salute and explained their purpose. The old man smiled and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come with me."

The Taoist priest led the two into a small hut, which was very simply decorated, but filled with a mysterious atmosphere. The walls were covered with all kinds of talismans and strange props, giving people a mysterious feeling.

The Taoist priest took out a few very old books from a shabby cabinet and handed them to Lin Xiao and Li Xuan. He said in a low and serious voice: "This is some basic knowledge passed down by our sect. You must read it carefully and understand the mysteries in it."

Lin Xiao took the book and gently opened the first page. The dense text on it made her feel dizzy. But she did not give up, but devoted herself to studying.

As time went by, Lin Xiao gradually mastered some basic Taoist knowledge. She found that this knowledge was not only theoretical, but also a kind of practical skills and methods. Through the Taoist's teachings, she learned how to use spells, incantations and hand seals to perform Taoist magic.

Every time she successfully performed a Taoist technique, Lin Xiao felt an unprecedented excitement and satisfaction. She seemed to be in a brand new world, exploring endless mysteries.

At the same time, Li Xuan was also studying hard. Although he did not get the hang of it as quickly as Lin Xiao, he still persevered.

The Taoist priest looked at their progress and smiled with satisfaction. He knew that as long as they continued to work hard, they would become excellent Taoist priests in the future.

The Taoist priest said: "These Taoist skills can not only help you protect yourself, but also save others from danger. Remember, learning Taoist skills is not only for self-protection, but also for compassion and the joy of helping others."

Lin Xiao nodded to show that she understood. She felt the responsibility and mission on her shoulders. The Taoist priest then gave her a protective magic weapon, a beautifully carved jade pendant with complex runes engraved on it, emitting a faint light. The Taoist priest explained: "This jade pendant can protect you from harm. At critical moments, it can also release powerful energy to protect you from harm."

Lin Xiao took the jade pendant and said gratefully: "Thank you, we will definitely cherish this learning opportunity and use the knowledge we have learned to help more people."

Li Xuan also received guidance from the Taoist priest, and he learned some small spells that can be used to solve problems and heal. The Taoist priest told them: "In the future journey, you will encounter many unknown challenges, but as long as you have justice in your heart and move forward bravely, everything will go well."

Under the guidance of the Taoist priest, Lin Xiao and Li Xuan's abilities have been significantly improved, and they are full of confidence and anticipation for the upcoming adventure. When leaving the hut, the Taoist priest stood at the door and watched them leave, as if he saw their bright future.

In the following days, Lin Xiao and Li Xuan continued their adventure. They walked through mountains and rivers, through prosperous cities and desolate villages, and every step was full of novelty and challenges. Along the way, they met all kinds of people, including kind villagers and evil-minded villains; helpful travelers and suspicious strangers.

In every encounter, Lin Xiao and Li Xuan use their wisdom and skills to help those in need, resolve crises, and win people's trust and respect. They gradually realize that the meaning of the journey is not only to find answers, but also to grow and surpass themselves through the experiences and trials of the journey.
