The door of Liuyun Temple is still closed. There are many fallen leaves accumulated at the entrance, some withered and yellow, and some that have just fallen, piled up in layers.
And the road up the mountain has long been covered by moss.
It has been several years since my husband passed away, and now that the world has changed drastically, there is still no sign of his return.
As early as a few years ago, Mo Yuan would often come to the Taoist temple to chat with Tao'er, but in fact he just wanted to trick a few peaches into eating. Later, when Mo Yuan saw that his husband never came back, he went down the mountain to look for her. , I went away for many years and never came back.
Only Tao'er was guarding the Taoist temple, and there was no one alive.
"Shua, shua..."
Miss Taoer sweeps the fallen leaves in the courtyard. In addition, she also occasionally cleans up the statues in the Taoist temple.
It is also because of this that this Taoist temple, which has been dusty for many years, is so clean.
She scanned it absentmindedly over and over again, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
Tao'er put down the broom, came to the table and sat down.
She pursed her lips and touched her heart. She had been feeling flustered recently and didn't know why.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. She is a wood spirit, so how could she be flustered.
Tao'er paused suddenly and looked towards the viewing door.
I saw a voice coming from outside the door.
"I dare to ask if the immortal is in the temple. Qiuyuefang City God Mao Gongjiu has come to pay his respects."
The old city god stood at the gate and waited, but there was no response.
He just came to take a look. In his early years, he knew that Mr. Chen had traveled around, and he didn't know if he had come back.
"Creak..."
The viewing door was opened from inside.
The old city god paused in his heart and looked up.
The person inside the door was wearing a long skirt and her eyebrows were like peach blossoms. The old city god reacted immediately.
This is the wood spirit in Liuyun Temple!
The old city god quickly raised his hands and said, "The little god has seen the wood spirit."
Miss Tao'er asked, "Mr. Chen has gone on a wander. Does the City God have anything to do with Mr. Chen?"
The old city god came back to his senses and immediately said, "I wonder when the immortal will come back?"
Miss Tao'er shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Sir has been out for a long time."
The old city god opened his mouth but stopped talking.
Upon seeing this, Miss Tao'er said: "If the City God has anything to do, you can tell me first. I will tell you to him when he comes back."
The old city god thought for a moment and said, "That's fine."
Miss Taoer invited the old city god into the temple.
The old city god looked at this Taoist temple. He really didn't expect that in the past few decades, this Taoist temple had not even a trace of the passage of time. It was still the same as before, or even better.
The Old City God immediately explained his purpose and said: "It's like this. A few days ago, the Tong family and his wife came to the City God's Temple to pray for peace for their son. Later, the little god thought that this boy, Xiaolangjun, had some connection with the immortal. , so I paid attention to it.”
Miss Taoer was a little stunned after hearing this.
Tong Zhihuan...
The old city god saw him stunned, so he called out: "Wood spirit?"
"hold head high……"
Miss Taoer came back to her senses and asked: "He, what happened to him?"
The old city god said: "The little god asked someone to inquire. It is said that Tong Xiaolangjun was sent to the border as a medical officer a few years ago. Last year, the border was broken. Although Tongxiaolangjun did not die, he was sent to prison. , now that Dajing has died and Daxiang is in power, Tong Xiaolangjun, as a remnant of the previous dynasty, I’m afraid..."
Tao'er's heart suddenly sank.
"What will be the outcome?" Tao'er asked.
"As far as the little god knows, most of the people who enter the Zhao Prison during the change of dynasties will be beheaded in public."
The old city god said: "The father and son of the Tong family have made countless merits and deeds by hanging the pot to help the world. They are also great benevolent people. The little god also remembered that the immortal once favored Tong Xiaolangjun. If he died by the sword, I am afraid the immortal would also mind. Today I also want to meet him. The Immortal will tell you about this."
After hearing this, Tao'er suddenly became panicked and said, "Sir, he's not here..."
After hearing this, the Old City God shook his head and sighed, and said: "If this is the case, then I'm afraid there is nothing we can do."
"Is there any way I can help him?" Miss Taoer asked.
Seeing the anxious look on the face of the wood spirit in front of him, the old city god felt a little puzzled, but he still replied: "As a city god, the little god cannot interfere in the affairs of the underworld."
Miss Taoer suddenly asked: "Can I?"
The old city god was stunned for a moment and asked: "Mu Ling, what are you..."
Miss Taoer pursed her lips and asked, "Is it okay?"
Seeing how eager she was, the old city god became even more confused. He didn't ask further questions and just said.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for the wood spirit to take root here."
Tao'er is an innate wood spirit. The peach tree is rooted in this mountain. At most, she can only walk around in this mountain. No matter how far away she is, she can't go.
"There is really no way?" Miss Tao'er asked.
The Old City God paused and asked, "Can the little god know why the wood spirit is so anxious?"
Miss Taoer was stunned for a moment, she straightened up, and after thinking for a moment, she gave an answer.
"I like him."
The old city god froze in place after hearing this.
Her words were so calm and gentle, as if she was saying something that was perfectly justified.
The old city god never imagined that there would be such an answer.
"this……"
The old city god was startled and said, "Isn't this against the rules?"
Miss Taoer shook her head and said, "I don't know if it's legal or not, I just know that I like him."
The old city god didn't know what to say. He wanted to speak several times, but he swallowed it back.
Nothing seemed right.
Miss Tao'er seemed to see something and said, "The City God has a way, right?"
"Little God..."
The old city god did know a way, but he didn't dare to say it.
That's not a good idea.
The old city god simply replied: "There is nothing a little god can do."
"I must save him."
Miss Tao'er looked at the City God in front of her and said, "He said that he would come back to see me often. Even if he is going to die, he can only die here and nowhere else."
The old city god looked at her and still replied: "There is really nothing the little god can do."
Miss Taoer calmed down.
She looked at the Old City God and suddenly said, "I have read all the books that the City God gave to you, and there are records in them."
The old city god was startled. He suddenly panicked and stood up quickly.
"Why is the wood spirit like this!"
Miss Tao'er said: "Although I don't understand the truth in the book, I know that if I like him, I like him. Since I like him, I should save him."
Her words were particularly calm, as if she was stating something that should be taken for granted, a simple truth that couldn't be simpler.
The Old City God's lips were slightly open. He was at a loss for a moment, and suddenly regretted coming up the mountain today.
He opened his mouth and said: "Please think twice before taking action. This is the worst policy. If the foundation is broken, the future will be bleak."
Tao'er just said.
"I do not care."
