The poem reads:
At night, he attacked the Taoist temple but failed. At dawn, pedestrians passed by.
Tears dyed her skirt, sleeves and knees, and there was a feeling in her heart. How could a Taoist be heartless?
Lan Mengxi was unconscious on the ground and did not wake up. She could vaguely hear the sparse sounds of discussion.
"Look, is this girl dead?”
"Don't talk nonsense. It's broad daylight, and there are many pedestrians. How can someone dump their corpse in the wilderness without being noticed?”
"In my opinion, the girl might have lost her way and fainted.”
Lan Mengxi's pale lips trembled as she muttered Luo Yichen's name. Her sleepy eyes realized that she was surrounded by " people " who were looking at her.
"Hey, look, she's awake!”
"Who are you?" Lan Mengxi panted as she stood up. Someone quickly came forward to help Lan Mengxi up. Lan Mengxi asked everyone she met," Do you know where Yi Chen is?”
"Uncle, do you know where Yi Chen is?”
"Auntie, have you seen Luo Yichen? He was so tall, and he was wearing armor and holding a sharp sword.”
"So you're a crazy girl? Forget it, let's go." The people around them dispersed in a hubbub. Lan Mengxi caught up with them and asked one by one," Excuse me…"
" I don't know, I don't know..." The passersby left quickly as if they had seen a demon. They didn't care about Lan Mengxi's words.
Lan Mengxi walked a few steps and found that she had no strength. She was so dizzy that she almost fainted. She held her aching forehead and staggered a few steps. Then, she held the birch tree by the roadside to rest." I think he must have practiced the new spell and his Kung Fu is not good enough. He must have been possessed by Qi deviation. His consciousness was blurred and he had an illusion of Yi Chen."”
Lan Mengxi recalled that after she woke up from her dream last night, it was still a pitch-black night. She had been practicing her spells and was about to break through when Luo Yichen's words echoed in her ears. Lan Mengxi thought it was an illusion, but it was so close and so clear. Lan Mengxi couldn't wait to open her eyes. However, Luo Yichen miraculously appeared in front of Lan Mengxi. He opened his eyes after he was forced to withdraw his power halfway. The unstable spiritual energy filled the nerves in the depths of his mind, causing Luo Yichen's hallucination to appear.
Lan Mengxi didn't want to be disturbed, but she was too weak to fly in the air, so she set up a smokescreen so that ordinary people wouldn't be able to find her. Lan Mengxi sat cross-legged on the ground and hurriedly adjusted her inner breath." If only Qian-er was here now. She has studied the most internal cultivation method, but it's a pity that she has passed away. I don't know which race she will become in her next life. However, she is so caring and kind to her family. Perhaps she can be born into a good family."”
Every time Lan Mengxi's spiritual energy was transferred out of her dantian, her internal organs would ache and she would spurt out blood. Lan Mengxi held her chest and panted irregularly." Oh no, I've exhausted too much of my magic power. I don't think I'll be able to come back anytime soon. That old Taoist master's cultivation is so profound, and I'm not his match. What should I do? Also, I need to find Yi Chen's soul within the time limit before I can let him reincarnate!"”Lan Mengxi knew that it was useless to be anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
"Strange, why is the human world so strange? Why didn't I see many pedestrians here yesterday? It's as if everyone was in a hurry to do something.”Lan Mengxi followed the crowd and looked at the end of the crowd." Eh, are you all going to Mount Yan? How strange."
Lan Mengxi simply removed the blindfold and approached the young man who was rushing on the road." Hey, this…uh…brother! Why are there so many people coming up the mountain…Could it be that today is an auspicious day?”
"Miss, look at your outfit. You must be from another city, right? Today is a good day to offer incense. Every fifteen days, the villagers will come to the Xuantian Temple to offer incense. Taoist Priest Chen will help the villagers cure their diseases and pray for peace. Everyone worships him here like a god. Alright, I'm still in a hurry. I'll leave first!”
"Thank you, thank you." When Lan Mengxi heard this, she suddenly felt that the old Taoist master must have a powerful background. It was not wrong for him to do good deeds, but it was definitely wrong for him to seize Luo Yichen's soul!
Lan Mengxi saw a stall by the roadside. She imitated the buyer's words and actions and asked," Boss, how much is this bamboo hat?”
"One tael of silver per head.”The seller of the bamboo hat was a middle-aged man. He sat on a rock and sized up the people coming and going. Under the scorching sun, those who went to the Taoist temple to offer incense would definitely not be able to stand the heat and buy a bamboo hat.
"What is silver?" Lan Mengxi slowly took off the bamboo hat from her head. The boss took it back with one hand." Miss, are you joking? If you don't have money and want to take it for free, dream on!"
"Go, go, go, go. Don't hinder my business here.”The middle-aged man pushed Lan Mengxi away. When Lan Mengxi saw someone taking out silver to buy a bamboo hat, she realized that she didn't have such a thing, so she casually stretched out her hand and condensed an ingot of silver with frost." Boss, can we buy it now?"”
After Lan Mengxi took the bamboo hat from the boss, she turned around and left." Hey, girl, here's your change!”
"What money? There's no need to trouble yourself." Lan Mengxi didn't understand the principle of money trading in the human world, and she didn't need to understand it. It was enough to dress up like an ordinary person and go up the mountain.
"Young Lady is really generous." The boss weighed the silver in his hand." Why is the weight a little light? Forget it. One large ingot of silver is enough to live for several days.”
"That young lady doesn't know how wasteful it is to buy a bamboo hat with one tael of silver.”
"Maybe she's the daughter of a rich family and has a lot of money. Although we're poor, we have to be poor until we have ambition. Anyway, there was no harm in sunbathing more. The money saved could also be used to buy the children a stick of candied haws.”
These people's comments were just a matter of entering the left and leaving the right in Lan Mengxi's ears. She did not understand these principles. She only knew that entering the Taoist temple now and finding her husband's soul was the most important thing in her life!
Lan Mengxi blended into the crowd and saw that every villager had to offer incense and kneel when they passed by the bronze cauldron. At first, Lan Mengxi only knew how to offer incense but did not know the meaning of kneeling. She felt that it was a little strange, so she followed suit.
Suddenly, someone stopped Lan Mengxi and said," Miss, we need three sticks of the same kind to pray for the efficacy."”
"Oh, is that so? Thanks for the reminder." Lan Mengxi hesitated among the eight types of incense, but her slender fingers stopped at the seventh type, Lingbao Huixiang.
After lighting it up, a faint green smoke rose slowly. Lan Mengxi kowtowed and followed the villagers to pray for peace and blessings. Lan Mengxi was dedicated to Luo Yichen's smooth reincarnation. She said to the heavens," May Luo Yichen's soul return safely so that Xi-er will have no regrets in this life!”
Lan Mengxi left from the soft cushion. The bustling Taoist temple was bustling with people. It was completely different from yesterday. When she saw the old Taoist priest standing in the middle of the courtyard with a smile and welcoming the villagers who went up the mountain to pray, Lan Mengxi saw the old Taoist priest turn around and was about to leave. She could not help but immediately curse," Don't run away, you stinky old man!"”
The old Taoist priest heard a familiar voice mixed with the noisy voices. In fact, his spiritual power was everywhere in the Taoist temple. He had already noticed that there were demons entering the temple. He turned around and saw that Lan Mengxi had made a comeback.
"Miss, today is the day the villagers offer incense. Can you not come and cause trouble?”The old Taoist priest nodded and bowed.
"Stinky old man, why did you take my husband's soul?”Lan Mengxi shouted angrily on the spot, attracting the attention of the surrounding people.
"Young lady, I don't know why you're full of nonsense, but please take care of yourself!”The old Taoist priest looked like he was about to cast a spell. Lan Mengxi knew that she was no match for him, so she stepped forward slowly. Her tears were already filled with tears." Old Taoist priest, please return Yi Chen's soul to Xi-er. Xi-er knows that your Taoist skills are profound, but if Yi Chen's soul can't be collected within the stipulated time limit, then his three souls and seven spirits will dissipate. You are ruining someone else's reincarnation!"”
"Little fox demoness is quite good at sophistry. I won't believe you!”The old Taoist priest's words were very decisive, but the moment Lan Mengxi knelt down, his heart wavered.
"Miss, you don't have to kneel to me. I can't help you.”
The surrounding villagers were pointing and gossiping. They did not know what had happened, but they felt that something was strange.
Suddenly, someone noticed," Isn't this the crazy girl who fainted by the roadside this morning? Why did he come to the Mysterious Heaven Temple to cause trouble?”
"That's right. This kind of girl will only destroy the peace of the Daoist sacred land.”
"Yes, chase her away!"
Lan Mengxi was scolded by many people, but she still stared at the old Taoist priest who had turned his back." Taoist priest Chen, you are a monk, but you are merciful. Are you really willing to watch Yi Chen's soul dissipate after more than 40 days?"”
The wet tears soaked the plain hem of her dress. The burning pain and numbness of her knees on the ground traveled through her nerves into her mind. Lan Mengxi looked calm and collected except for two streaks of tears, but her fragile and lonely heart was already deeply hurt." Priest Chen, Xi-er is really his wife. How can you believe Xi-er's words?"”
The crowd of onlookers became denser and denser. Lan Mengxi's pitiful appearance on the ground made people feel pity for her." Taoist priest, why don't you give her a chance?"”
"Yes, she has been kneeling for so long that my feet are numb. Miss's knees must be in pain!”
"Priest Chen, haven't you always been magnanimous and kind to others? Help this girl."
After hearing everyone's persuasion, the old Taoist priest turned around hesitantly." Even if I only have forty days to live, I need to exchange knowledge with Ling Huipo. I definitely can't give it to you unless you can answer the three questions I asked.”
"Alright, as long as I can return Yi Chen's soul, let alone three questions, I'll even give you thirty! Xi-er will definitely be able to answer it." Lan Mengxi's eyes were lit up by the light of hope. Yi Chen's illusion seemed to have appeared beside the old Taoist priest. Seeing Luo Yichen nod affirmatively at her, Lan Mengxi wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and stood up. A gust of wind blew past every unfamiliar face. Lan Mengxi's fluttering hair fell to her back with the wind that stopped abruptly.
