I was stunned for a moment after hearing this, not because I was suspicious, but mainly because it was too dreamy.
I quickly took a few steps back: "Are you sure it's me?"
"I have been practicing for a hundred years, and some people have rescued me, but they couldn't resist the temptation and wanted the gold nugget on me!"
Seeing him so determined, I couldn't be sure for a moment.
There are only two things that people cannot control the most in this life, one is fate and fate.
When to come, where to meet whom, these are all determined.
Although I don't live like a human being now, I still have this chance.
But this also aroused my curiosity: "What does the expert you are talking about look like?"
"He is a Taoist priest. He holds a whisk in his left hand and a black iron mace in his right hand."
I instantly had a picture in my mind: "Does it mean that you have a sharp face, that you are very thin, and that I speak slowly?"
The joy on the old man's face instantly solidified, and he asked in surprise: "You know him too?"
This time it’s completely on point! We are both talking about the same person - Zhenren Ruhai.
I hurriedly asked: "I have met Master Ruhai twice. Do you know his background?"
A long time ago, Uncle Ya said that Master Ruhai gave me a mace that contained a violent aura, so he wouldn't let me use it at all.
I have always been curious about his identity, but I couldn't find him, so I could only hide this doubt in my heart.
Now that I see this old turtle, I guess there must be some connection between them.
The old man smiled slightly: "I don't know what his identity is."
"I only know that he ascended on my back. It is precisely because of this that he gave me the opportunity to enlighten me."
In this way, Master Ruhai is truly a man of enlightenment.
But this doesn't make sense. It's impossible for a righteous god to take action against a mortal. Why did he say he wanted to kill me in the last moment?
"Headmaster."
Just as I was thinking about it, the old man spoke again: "Now, I want to give you a real gift. You must have this one."
"It's...what?"
The old man raised his chest with great difficulty: "Me."
"ah?"
He nodded firmly: "Yes, it's me!"
The old man didn't give me a chance to speak and said bluntly: "When you build a temple, you need a foundation. Fill me in!"
I looked at him anxiously, unable to believe this was true: "Are you kidding?"
"No."
I knew the old man's intention and had heard of this method, but when it came to my head, I couldn't believe it was true.
Many thousand-year-old temples have such records.
In the early stages of building a temple, there will be a step called filling the altar.
People from the surrounding area would come and throw the most valuable things in their homes into the foundation pit, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings with many years of history, and countless gold and silver items.
When you enter the Ziwei Emperor Temple in Jiangnan, you can see the history of the temple carved on a stone tablet, which records the filling of the altar with spiritual objects.
However, buried under that temple were a snake and a turtle.
The Great Emperor Temple has been established for nearly a thousand years and has experienced countless natural and man-made disasters, but not even a single wall has been removed.
Around the early years of the Republic of China, around the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, there were heavy thunders in the Jiangnan area, and a crack appeared in the main hall, which could not be broken by earthquakes.
On that day, everyone saw a red ladder hanging down and a golden light rising from the ground.
Some people say they saw a dragon. In fact, the ascending snake body and tortoise shell just looked like a dragon.
Since the snake and the turtle ascended, Ziwei Emperor Temple has been able to respond to requests and is even more agile than before. This has been passed down to this day.
The reason I couldn't believe it was because of the weight behind it.
If there are spiritual beings filling the altar, my Taoist temple will become a famous temple.
I thought for a long time and slowly raised my head: "Once buried, you may not be able to come out for hundreds of years. This is worse than doing bitter meditation."
"Moreover, you can't forcefully twist melons in practice. If you are in such a deep place, once you become obsessed, all the years of Taoism will be ruined."
Hearing this, the old man hesitated for a while, and then begged: "If it's convenient, can you build a pool for me?"
"Firstly, I can adjust my xinxing, and secondly, I can help you."
I almost didn't hesitate and agreed immediately: "Convenient! Very convenient."
"That……"
The old man lifted up his gown and simply knelt down: "Please give me the words from the master."
Looking at his low body, my lips seemed to be glued and I couldn't speak.
"Otherwise, you'd better find someone else."
After struggling for a long time, I chose to refuse.
The old man looked up with confusion on his face: "Why is this?"
