Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning
Chapter 588: Taoist Priest Kong Qing’s Gift
"Master Taoist, the battlefield here is handed over to you. We will try our best to control the battlefield behind Ping County. We will leave two battalions here. They will definitely fight to the death to hold back the people brought by the Onmyoji to ensure your safety." Lin Mancang stood in front of the map with a sharp gaze, and a rough strategic layout had been quickly outlined in his mind.
Jiang Jiyuan looked at him and asked doubtfully, "Is it too late to mobilize troops now?"
Lin Mancang confidently replied, "Don't worry, we'll definitely make it in time. Our artillery regiment is stationed near Ping County, so that's why I said we should move the battle there."
"I'll go and notify them to arrange for the safe evacuation of the people in Jiangping County. One day should be enough for them to evacuate." After he said that, he turned and left without hesitation.
After the Taoist priests came out of the tent, they looked everywhere for Jiang Jiyun.
Finally, in a corner of the kitchen, they found Jiang Jiyun following Jiang Wenming.
Taoist Kong Qing walked quickly forward, took out a jade pendant engraved with talismans from his arms, and came in front of her.
Jiang Jiyun looked at him blankly and saw him reach out and hang the red rope around his neck.
She looked at the Taoist priest in front of her with some surprise. Taoist priest Kong Qing said to her seriously, "I have a few words to say to you. Let's go over there and talk."
He pointed to a secluded corner not far away.
Jiang Jiyun looked down at the jade pendant around his neck, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
She glanced at her uncle and brother, and saw that they were smiling and nodding. She hesitated for a moment before nodding and followed Taoist Kong Qing to the corner.
The moment she turned around, she subconsciously touched the jade pendant with her hand, her eyes revealing a hint of guilt and uneasiness.
She was worried that these Taoist priests would be able to see her problem and expose her identity.
Taoist Master Kong Qing looked into her eyes and keenly captured the fear and terror in them.
He smiled slightly, slowly squatted down, looked at her at eye level, and said softly: "Don't worry, child, we are here to protect you. It's just that I have something I want to tell you alone. I'm worried that if I don't say it now, I may not have the chance in the future."
Not long ago, Taoist Master Xuzhou used tortoise shells and Five Emperors' coins to tell a fortune, and the result was worrying.
The danger they faced this time was extremely difficult, with only a 10% chance of survival. That tiny glimmer of hope was almost negligible in the face of such cruel reality.
Taoist Kong Qing brought Jiang Jiyun to an empty corner, and the two sat facing each other on the ground.
He got straight to the point without hesitation and asked directly, "You are a soul from another world that has traveled here, right?"
Jiang Jiyun's face turned pale in an instant. She widened her eyes and looked at Taoist Kong Qing in astonishment, not knowing how to defend herself with words.
The biggest secret that she had always kept deep in her heart was finally revealed.
Taoist Master Kong Qing did not notice the turmoil in her heart. He just reached out and gently stroked the cotton hat on the child's head, as if this was just an ordinary conversation.
He had no idea that countless possibilities were flashing through Jiang Jiyun's mind at this moment. She even suddenly had a thought that maybe she would just hide in the space and spend the rest of her life.
He looked at the child in front of him and saw that his originally childish face gradually became serious, as if he was thinking about something important.
Taoist Master Kong Qing continued, "We don't intend to tell anyone about this, and this jade pendant I gave you is specifically for your soul's comfort."
Jiang Jiyun looked at him in surprise and heard him say, "With this, no matter how powerful someone is, they will never be able to see your true condition. Even if you are unlucky enough to encounter an Onmyoji again, they won't be able to extract your soul as easily as last time."
"Why? Don't you think I'm an alien? I have occupied the body of the original owner. Won't you take me in?" Jiang Jiyun looked at the red rope around his neck in shock.
She reached out and put the jade pendant inside her clothes, thinking that she would go back and replace the rope with a chain, which would be more secure than a rope.
When Taoist Master Kong Qing heard her ask this, he smiled and said, "Your appearance has changed the fate of many people, and the current situation has changed greatly because of you. This is the situation we hope to see."
"Your virtues are so great that we cannot see them clearly. So you must live well. With your help, what we do will surely succeed."
Jiang Jiyun looked at him, noticing the eager anticipation on his face, and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely succeed. In the days to come, our country will become incomparably powerful!"
"This vast land will no longer be ravaged by war, and its people will live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone will have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, and children will receive a good education. Tall buildings will stand everywhere, and cities will prosper..."
Jiang Jiyun's words were like a gorgeous painting, slowly unfolding before Taoist Kong Qing's eyes.
He listened attentively, as if he could see the bright future waiting for them not far away.
As Jiang Jiyun continued to describe, Taoist Kong Qing became increasingly emotional, his eyes gradually becoming moist. He said in a trembling voice, "I really hope that everything you said can come true!"
Jiang Jiyun looked at Taoist Kong Qing's excited expression, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
She solemnly said to Taoist Master Kong Qing, "This is not just a hope, but a reality. I traveled through time from that era and witnessed the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people with my own eyes."
Taoist Master Kong Qing was silent for a long time, then smiled with satisfaction. Wasn't it for this day that all of them risked their lives?
He looked at her gratefully, wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "Thank you for telling me, letting me know that our efforts have not been in vain. With your participation, will these things be realized earlier? If we are lucky, we can see it in our lifetime, right?"
"We will all live and will definitely see that day." Jiang Jiyun held his big hand with his small one.
Jiang Jiyuan and Jiang Wenming had been paying attention to the old man and the child under the tree. After seeing the two people wiping their tears, they started laughing again after a while.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other, puzzled as they saw the old man and the child crying and laughing. They waited for a while before they saw them walking towards them hand in hand.
"Master, is there something wrong with my sister?" Jiang Jiyuan asked the person who was walking over.
"No problem. I'll give her the jade pendant and she should keep it with her. Then those devils' Yin-Yang masters will have no way to do anything to her." After Taoist Kong Qing said this, he went to find some fellow Taoists.
