Depends on Your Ability
Su Ming saw his grandfather's imposing manner and tried his best to adjust his posture so that he didn't look timid.
Grandpa only cared about himself as he walked inside. Su Ming followed closely behind.
The smell of sandalwood and burning paper assaulted him.
Further in, there was a uniform bluestone floor.
From time to time, he would also encounter many Taoist priests wearing Taoist robes and wearing their hair up in a bun.
The way they looked at their grandfather was rather special.
A Taoist priest raised his hand and moved his lips, wanting to say something.
However, he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he looked happy and hurriedly walked inside.
Su Ming was baffled.
Could it be that Grandpa knew the Taoist priest here?
Su Ming followed them until they reached a door.
On it was written in red and black words,'Pilgrim, please stop.'
The door was locked, but Grandpa did not push it open.
"Dong dong dong."
Three knocks sounded on the door.
The door creaked open, and a head popped out.
It was a young man in his twenties, dressed like a Taoist priest.
After the young man saw his master's face clearly, he opened the door for his grandfather with a smile.
He even said enthusiastically,"Yo! Uncle Master, you're here!"
"Yes!"
Grandpa said this word and walked inside.
The young Taoist priest looked at Su Ming who was following him and didn't say anything.
Uncle Master?
What was going on?
Could it be that he had been a Taoist priest here before?
The more she looked at her grandfather, the more confused she became.
He used to think that he was just an ordinary corpse hunter.
How could there be so much information in just two days?
And what did that painting have to do with this temple?
With these questions, he followed his grandfather to the last courtyard of the Taoist temple.
This courtyard was very clean and tidy.
There were no flowers or plants in the courtyard, and it was much further away from the chanting of the Taoist priest outside.
It could be said to be the quietest place in the Daoist temple.
When he walked in, he saw that the style of the Qionglou Temple was almost the same as the one outside.
However, the statues worshiped inside looked very unfamiliar.
The same clay golden body was placed in different postures.
Grandpa still didn't stop when he entered.
After passing through the temple, he walked to the innermost backyard.
There was a person standing there with his back facing the temple.
This person was about the same age as his grandfather and also had a tuft of white beard.
However, she looked thin and frail.
He was in a horse stance with his eyes closed.
He placed his left hand under his right hand and placed it in front of his chest. He extended his right index and middle fingers and pointed them at the sky.
He looked indescribably majestic.
After Grandpa circled around the man a few times, the man slowly opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.
"You're here!"
He looked at his grandfather and said.
Then, he looked at Su Ming.
Grandpa asked in his hoarse voice,""How did it go?"
"Your name is Su Ming, right?"
He looked at Su Ming and said with a kind smile.
"You know me?"
Su Ming asked the Taoist priest.
"I know him, I don't just know him!"
He looked at Su Ming with a smile.
"We're here to retrieve something."
Grandpa said rudely to the Taoist priest.
His tone sounded as if he was here to take away something that was stored here.
Take something?
What else does our family have in this Taoist temple?
Su Ming was very confused. What kind of riddle were these two playing?
The Taoist priest said without any emotion,"Yes, it's time to take it!”
"He'll come here in my place in the future. We'll go down the mountain tomorrow."”
"Aren't you going to stay here for a few more days?" the Taoist priest asked.”
Grandpa stroked his beard and said meaningfully,""There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"
"That's true!"
The Taoist priest looked at his grandfather with a smile.
After the two of them chatted for a while, Su Ming was completely confused.
Since he had nothing to do, he walked back to the temple from before.
He carefully looked at the statues, hoping to find one that he recognized.
There were about a hundred statues of gods of various sizes.
The place where he had originally heard it was filled with these idols.
He looked as he walked.
When he reached a statue, he could no longer move. He was very familiar with this statue.
It was the woman playing the zither in the portrait that his grandfather had shown him.
The golden statue still had its head half lowered as it focused on playing the zither.
Even though she was wearing a plain dress, she still looked graceful and extraordinary.
Just as Su Ming lowered his head to see what the Taoist priest looked like, the Taoist priest walked out.
"Su Ming, what are you looking at?"
Seeing that his grandfather and Daoist priest had come out, the two of them seemed to be chatting happily.
It seemed like they had discussed something.
The joy on his face was completely unconcealed.
"Taoist priest, who are these immortals?"
Su Ming, who didn't know how to address this Taoist priest.
He simply called him Taoist priest.
"This is the Hall of Law. What you see is a god and also a tool.”
The Taoist priest was very happy to introduce him. Then, he roughly explained everything to him from big to small.
Among them were zither, chess pieces, books, paintings, knives, spears, swords, halberds, and some special small items.
When he mentioned the woman playing the zither, he smiled at his grandfather.
"And this Jean is the most popular one among them. It's very likely that she picked you."”
After saying that, he stroked his beard as if he was waiting for Su Ming's reaction.
"Taoist priest, are you saying that she fancied me?”
Su Ming looked at the Taoist priest and said.
Was this not just a divine artifact, but a human?
Su Ming began to have all kinds of thoughts.
"That's right!"
The Daoist priest said with certainty.
Then, he said,"However, whether you can take it away, or whether you can take away a few magic tools, it depends on your ability."”
"My ability?" Su Ming was puzzled. Are you saying that as long as I can take it away, all these magic tools can be used by me?”
The Taoist priest was still smiling at first, but after hearing his words, he immediately wiped the smile off his face.
Then, he said with a serious face,"That's right. As long as you have the ability, just take it!"”
The Daoist priest spoke very generously, as if this thing could be taken away casually.
Su Ming knew that the more casual he was, the more it proved that things weren't that simple.
Grandpa had been watching Su Ming from the side without saying a word.
It seemed that everything was Su Ming's own decision, and he didn't interfere at all.
Su Ming suddenly thought of an important question, so he asked,""Then, Taoist priest, may I ask what are the general methods to get it?”
The Taoist priest said meaningfully,"Those who come here to take the magic tools have their own specialties, but whether they can take them away in the end depends on their ability!"”
Su Ming couldn't get anything out of the Taoist priest, so he turned to look at his grandfather.
"Little Ming, you have to rely on yourself here. You only have one chance. Don't say that I didn't teach you anything!”
Grandpa saw Su Ming looking at him, so he patted Su Ming's shoulder and said.
Alright then!
Man can accomplish things, and God can plan things!
Everything depended on him!
Su Ming smiled and nodded.
