No matter what Young Master Guo said, at least the Qiao Mansion was calm.
Mrs. Qiao comes to see me every day, and sometimes Chaorong comes too.
Chao Rong was a very gentle and kind girl. Every time she came, she would bring her own snacks or skillfully woven jewelry as gifts. Although I'm very happy to receive a gift, every time I see Chaorong's work, it always makes me feel so ashamed that I can't even show my face. Girls in ancient times were really clever. They knew so many things at such a young age. Unlike me, who would add the wrong salt and sugar to a vegetable.
Moreover, I also heard from Cheng Wu that Chao Rong would also go and bandage up the injured birds in the forest and set them free when they fell to the ground. Even if the carp in the pond died, they would shed tears of sympathy.
I saw that she was actually quite depressed. Girls like Sister Lin were basically difficult to deal with. Most importantly, Chao Rong was a typical example of a 'virtuous' woman in ancient times! Although she spoke softly, as long as I did something that did not conform to the ancient etiquette, she would say," Xiyan, this is wrong. It's against etiquette..."
This always makes me sweat profusely. This is simply the little loli version of the Great Sage Kong!
After a few days, Hua Tuo finally announced that I had recovered and could move freely. I was excited for a while, but later, I realized that it was the same whether I recovered or not. I still couldn't go out and play. I could only wander around in the courtyard. It was still boring.
I went to the study room with Chaorong to listen to Young Master Guo's lecture. This guy was really talking about 'The Legend of the Heroic Maiden.' Looking at Chao Rong's serious and focused face, I was simply stunned. Feudal thinking killed people. Mister Guo didn't say anything else to me, as if the meeting in the pavilion that day was just my imagination.
However, Mrs. Qiao is the happiest person that I can recover. On the day Hua Tuo left, she hugged me and looked at me for a long time. Tears almost flowed out.
So, three days later, she decided to take me to the Taoist temple to fulfill my wish.
In fact, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the White Horse Temple had already been built in Luoyang, and Buddhism could be considered to have become popular in China. However, the more traditional families still believed in Taoism. When they encountered some diseases and disasters, they also liked to find Taoist priests to perform rituals.
When I fell into the water, Mrs. Qiao went to the Taoist temple and made a wish. She probably donated some money when I recovered. Although I'm a wandering ghost who transmigrated, she doesn't know about it anyway. She always thinks that it's because the Three Pure Heavenly Masters have powerful magic power and protected her younger daughter.
Of course, I have no objections. I heard that this Taoist temple is on Eternal Peace Mountain in the south of Luoyang. Doesn't this mean that I can go out and play? I've been here for three to four months, but I haven't gone out to play yet. It's like I've transmigrated in vain. It's not easy for me to wait for this opportunity. I can't miss it no matter what.
So, on a certain auspicious day marked on the Chinese calendar, Mrs. Qiao took me and a few girls out.
We sat in a carriage with black silk around the outside. It looked very low-key and was not conspicuous on the road. The coachman's driving skills were quite good. It wasn't as bumpy as I had imagined. I moved to the side and opened a small corner of the curtain to secretly look outside.
We came out very early. There weren't many pedestrians on the street, only peddlers carrying poles walking by the roadside. The houses on both sides of the road were short and broken, covered with thatch. Of course, they could not be seen from the perspective of modern architecture, but the streets were very clean and could be considered a peaceful life.
I suddenly thought of Young Master Guo again. The Spirit Monarch was about to collapse, so is he dead now? This peaceful street would probably be in chaos soon. The peddler who smiled and bid farewell to his family might be beheaded. But at this time, how many people knew?
I suddenly felt a little cold.
The carriage traveled for two to four hours. When they left the city gate, the scenery outside the window became more and more desolate. At the back, it was the same farmland.
Boring, I drew the curtains and turned around.
Mrs. Qiao closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. I nudged over to Mingyan and whispered,""Mingyan, why do we have to go to the Daoist temple to fulfill our vows?”
Ming Yan glanced at Madam Qiao and whispered,""Second Young Miss, when you were unconscious, Furen once went to beg the 'Three Official's handwritten letter.”
"Three…What book?" My eyes widened. What kind of scam is this?
"The Three Officials 'handwritten letter." Ming Yan glanced at me as if she couldn't believe that I was so ignorant." It's very effective. Doesn't Second Young Lady know?"
"I don't know. What is this?”He had never heard of it before.
It can't be helped. There are still some people who believe in Buddhism in modern times. My grandmother believes in Buddhism very much. She goes up the mountain to worship Buddha every year. She even kowtowed once after walking two steps. She's already in her seventies. How dangerous is it to do so? Every time, it makes people nervous and scared to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat. Comparatively speaking, there seemed to be fewer people who believed in Taoism, so it was normal that I didn't know.
However, Ming Yan clearly felt that something was wrong. She looked at me a few times before saying,"It's to write your name on a talisman paper and then ask the immortal to perform a spell. Then, you can divide it into three parts. One part will be placed on the mountain, one part will be buried in the soil, and one part will sink to the bottom of the water.”
It would be a ghost if it was good! Wasn't this how the little loli died? Fortunately, Mrs. Qiao knew to look for Hua Tuo for treatment. Otherwise, I might have died as soon as I came in.
I was about to say something when the car suddenly stopped. "Madam, we've arrived," the servant said respectfully from outside.”
" I understand." Madam Qiao opened her eyes.”He held my hand and took me out of the car.
This Taoist temple was built on the top of a mountain. Surrounded by green trees, a grand hall stood in the center, giving off a solemn feeling. There was a horizontal board on the door that wrote…
F * ck, I don't know him! The words on the board were written in official script and painted with gold paint. They sparkled and were very beautiful. Unfortunately, I didn't know official script and could only barely recognize the last word as " temple ". This was mainly based on guessing…
"When we enter the hall, be careful with your words and actions, understand?"”
I desperately nodded. I knew, I knew. I didn't believe in ghosts and gods in the past, but now I had no choice but to believe in them. Otherwise, how could I have transmigrated here? I don't dare to act rashly in front of these evil ghosts.
Upon entering the hall, there were statues of three long-bearded old men. I know a little about them. They are the three old men who lived in the Three Pure Realms. Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, Heavenly Lord Lingbao, and Heavenly Lord Dao De. It was probably built here for people to worship, right?
Strange, why were there so few people in such a big Taoist temple? The incense was so light.
Mrs. Qiao was the first to kneel and kowtow. I had no choice but to follow suit. To be honest, kneeling was something that he was not used to…
After that, I was sent to a room to drink tea and eat snacks. Only Orange Dance and Jiang Ge accompanied me. Madam Qiao had brought a few other servant girls with her to look for some master. At noon, the master came out and invited us to stay in the temple for dinner. Grandmaster really didn't look very good, he was a bone-spirit, all skin and bones. I've heard that Daoists pay particular attention to eating and sleeping in the open. I really doubt whether he eats or not.
