Thump…Thump…Thump!
Thump! Thump!
Early the next morning, a leisurely day in Longevity Temple began with the crisp sound of a wooden clap. Except for Qin Shangyu, everyone sat cross-legged in the courtyard with a futon and began to practice the Five Elements Taiji Fist.
Although Qin Shangyu did not teach them much yesterday, it was enough for them to comprehend for a period of time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
However, just as the four of them entered the state, there was a knock on the door of the Taoist temple. Lin Wanwan pouted in dissatisfaction. She got up from the futon and ran quickly towards the door. As for the others, they were still sitting steadily on the futons.
Creak!
The door was pushed open, and Lin Wanwan's head popped out.
At the door, An Ran and He Lu, who were leading a group of soldiers, saw Lin Wanwan in a daze and immediately asked with a smile,""Little Daoist Nun, where's the Imperial Wind Monastery's master?"
Lin Wanwan looked at the military uniforms on Anran and the others and immediately understood what they meant. She replied,""Master is not here. Are you here to repair the Taoist temple?”
"Yes, I am." Anran nodded, then looked at He Lu, who was smiling beside her. She continued to look at Lin Wanwan and asked,""May we go in?"
"Of course, please.”
Lin Wanwan opened the creaking door and walked into the courtyard with An Ran, He Lu, and the other soldiers. The small courtyard was instantly filled to the brim.
However, even though these soldiers filled the courtyard, they did not disturb Wu Pengyun and the others who were cultivating. While Lin Wanwan went to welcome the Taoist priests, they had already entered the state of mind.
Seeing this, Lin Wanwan said," Please wait for a moment," and then sat back down on the futon.
"What is this…"
He Lu looked curiously at Wu Pengyun and the others, then asked An Ran, who was also curious, in a low voice.
However, Anran was also at a loss. She stared at Wu Pengyun and the others for a while and shook her head."I don't know. It looks like he's meditating.”
" I don't know how long it will take…" He Lu frowned, feeling a little anxious.
It was said that those Taoist priests meditated, sometimes for hours. If they were to continue waiting here, they would have come in vain today.
The reason Fan Tianlei sent the two of them here was because the upcoming military skills competition would be less stressful for them.
However, this did not mean that they had the time to waste here.
Sensing He Lu's worry, An Ran smiled and said,""Didn't that little Daoist nun say it just now? Let us wait a moment. It probably won't take long. We'll just wait patiently.”
"Hmm…that works too."
He Lu nodded and signaled for the soldiers behind her to be quiet. Then, she surrounded the Taoist priests in the middle and began to wait quietly.
……
Fortunately, everything was as An Ran had guessed. The whole process did not last long. About half an hour later, Tang Lin was the first to open her eyes. She stretched her limbs and stood up.
After noticing An Ran and the others standing behind her, Tang Lin smiled faintly and nodded at them.
After a few minutes, Wu Pengyun and the others also woke up from their cultivation state. When all the Taoist priests woke up, An Ran stepped forward and smiled at them.""Taoist masters, our Chief of Staff Fan has sent us to repair your Taoist temple.”
"Please follow me."
Wu Pengyun was Qin Shangyu's junior brother. As the oldest person in Longevity Temple besides Qin Shangyu, when Qin Shangyu was not around, he happily took care of the guests and walked toward the hall with An Ran and the others.
On the way, An Ran and the others turned their heads to take a few glances and found that Qin Shangyu was not there. They could not help but ask curiously,""May I ask where the Imperial Wind Monastery Master went?”
"This…I don't know either." Wu Pengyun's well-defined face revealed a hint of embarrassment. He smiled and said,"We have no right to interfere with Shixiong's daily activities.”
"I see." Since Wu Pengyun had said so, it was not convenient for Anran to continue asking.
However, from the looks of it, the Imperial Wind Monastery Master should have already arranged for the repair of the Taoist temple. Otherwise, these Taoist priests would not have taken them to the temple so directly.
Raising her head and looking around the dilapidated hall, He Lu said with a sigh,"This palace is really…unexpected!”
In the end, He Lu seemed to feel that the words she had thought of before were not very appropriate. After hesitating for a moment, she reluctantly changed her words.
Fan Tianlei only told them that Longevity Temple's situation was more complicated, and it might be a little troublesome to repair it. But now... this was not just a little bit of trouble. This was a huge project!
It might not be completed in a few days or ten days.
However, since the mission had been given to them by their superiors, they would definitely complete it perfectly.
Moreover, after Ye Cunxin and the other two went back, they praised the food in Longevity Temple to the skies, saying that the restoration of Longevity Temple was for the sake of eating well in the future.
When Ye Cunxin and the others said this, An Ran and He Lu immediately became curious about the daily diet of Longevity Temple.
Taoist priests usually ate simple meals. Even if the taste was good, how good could it be?
……
At this moment, Wu Pengyun said,"Fellow scholars, let's start with this gate and hall."”
An Ran and He Lu looked at each other, then at the Taoist temple. They turned around and began to give orders to the soldiers behind them.
"You guys, stay behind to repair the hall. You guys, go repair the gate.”
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers received the order and immediately scattered with their tools. An Ran and He Lu stood there in silence for a while. Suddenly, they asked Wu Pengyun, who was beside them,""Daoist priest, what were you doing just now?”
"Hmm? Just now?" Wu Pengyun thought for a moment, then laughed roughly."We were practicing Daoist martial arts.”
"Taoist Kung Fu?" Anran's eyes widened slightly, and she asked curiously,""Is it powerful?"
"This is the martial arts that Senior Brother taught us. Of course it's powerful!”When Qin Shangyu was mentioned, Tang Lin said proudly,""As long as it's something that Senior Brother teaches, it's extraordinary!”
"So it's the bishop of the Imperial Wind Temple."”
"Is it really that powerful?"
An Ran and He Lu looked at each other and smiled when they heard this answer. It was obvious that they didn't believe it. What kind of kung fu could be mastered by sitting cross-legged and meditating? All martial arts required day and night practice to be mastered!
As if he could tell that Anran and He Lu didn't believe him, Du Xiaofeng raised his head and proudly asked,""Is there a Soldier King among you?”
"No, I haven't." Anran shook her head and smiled. Seeing that this little Taoist knew the term " Soldier King," she couldn't help but find Du Xiaofeng interesting.
As for the Soldier King, they didn't have one. After all, there were only a handful of Soldier Kings in the entire Blade Military Region.
Du Xiaofeng shook his head and sighed like a little adult when he heard that there was no Soldier King among these people. He pretended to be deep and said,"That's a pity…"
Seeing that Du Xiaofeng actually said this, He Lu smiled and looked at Anran. She squatted down and asked Du Xiaofeng with a smile,""What do you mean?"
"Master said so!"
Before Du Xiaofeng could say anything, Lin Wanwan took a step forward anxiously. She looked at Anran and He Lu with her big, watery eyes. She looked extremely serious and said like a little adult,"As long as you can master this skill, you will definitely be more powerful than the Soldier King in your military region!”
