Acai's Sky

Chapter 865 The Little Nun Going Down the Mountain 7

Five years passed by quietly like flowing water, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The mountain wind still blows, and the bells of the Taoist temple still echo, but the years have inadvertently left deep marks.

In Xuming Temple, the green pines are still tall and straight, but the moss on the stone steps is getting thicker, as if telling the story of the passage of time.

On this day, the master of Fusheng Temple hurried back from the outside world, with an imperceptible urgency in his expression.

He was wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, and his steps were fast yet steady, as if every step carried some heavy mission.

Just as he stepped into the Taoist temple, Taoist Master Fuyun in the side hall was leisurely enjoying the fragrance of tea.

The aroma of tea permeates the hall, interweaving with the sandalwood, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Taoist Master Fuyun held a celadon teacup in his hand, sipping gently, his brows full of satisfaction.

Suddenly seeing his senior brother return with a grave expression, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. He quickly stood up and went forward to greet him, bowing and saying, "Wulian Tianzun, is there something important that happened this time? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Upon hearing this, the master of Fusheng Temple's brows relaxed slightly, but his expression remained solemn.

He gently waved the whisk in his hand and said slowly, "On my way back, I encountered a few evil cultivators and eliminated them. However, after some deduction, I found that the evil cultivator from a hundred years ago is showing signs of resurgence. It seems that we can no longer sit idly by and watch. We need to go down the mountain."

Taoist Master Fuyun frowned after hearing this, smoothed the whisk in his hand, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Senior Brother, you are absolutely right. However, Qingxuan's cultivation has reached a state of perfection. It is time for her to go down the mountain and gain some experience. Not only is she a master of Taoism, but she also has the protection of a spirit beast like the Di Tu Raccoon, which is enough for her to travel freely in the outside world."

The master of Fusheng Temple glanced at his junior brother, with a half-smile on his lips, and said, "Tsk tsk, you must have gained a lot of benefits from Qingxuan. I heard that all kinds of talismans she drew, such as space talismans, protective amulets, Vajra talismans, five thunder talismans, rain talismans, etc., were all looted by you." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and signaled his junior brother to hand over the talisman.

Taoist Master Fuyun's face turned slightly red after being exposed by his senior brother, but he quickly regained his composure, put his whisk on his waist, and then took out a bamboo gourd from the space talisman.

He gently pulled out the cork, and the rich aroma of wine instantly filled the entire side hall.

"Hey, Brother, do you think my wine gourds are good? I got hundreds of them!"

Taoist Master Fuyun proudly shook the gourd in his hand and said to the master of Fusheng Temple with a smile, "How about a sip?"

The master of Fusheng Temple took the wine gourd and drank it down without hesitation. The spicy feeling of the wine rushed straight to his forehead. He couldn't help coughing, "Cough cough... This wine is very strong, and the alcohol content seems to be higher than before."

Taoist Master Fuyun smiled slightly upon seeing this and said, "This wine is indeed quite strong. By the way, I think Qingxuan's coming down the mountain to train is just in time. Her Taoism is truly outstanding among all the disciples, and her strength is comparable to that of you, Senior Brother, and Senior Sister Fuxia."

The master of Fusheng Temple nodded in agreement, hung the wine gourd around his waist, and extended his hand to his junior brother.

The junior brother understood what he meant and quickly handed over all the talismans he had looted from Qingxuan, generously giving half to his senior brother. He also poured out half of the fine wine in the gourd.

The master of Fusheng Temple took the talisman and wine gourd with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you go and tell Qingxuan what to pay attention to when going down the mountain. I will go and make some preparations first." After saying that, he turned and left, his steps still hurried.

Watching his senior brother's figure fade away, Taoist Master Fuyun secretly rejoiced. He quickly hid the remaining talismans and the wine gourd into the storage talisman, and breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

...

Ah Cai watched as Taoist Master Fuyun put the rain talisman she had just drawn into his pocket. Although she rolled her eyes, her heart was still filled with joy. She turned to the Golden Raccoon and said, "Well, it's time for us to pack up and get ready to go down the mountain!"

At this moment, 00541 suddenly appeared like a ghost. It quickly flew back to Ah Cai and whispered, "I just learned that the outside world seems to have been in chaos. Now only Qingwei and a few other young Taoist priests are left on the mountain. Taoist nun Fuxia is temporarily in charge of the situation. Everyone else has left the mountain to join the world!"

For five years, Ah Cai devoted herself to cultivation at Xu Ming Monastery. She not only thoroughly studied the Taoist texts within the library, memorizing their contents with her photographic memory, but also reviewed numerous aspects of the world of immortal cultivation, demonstrating her profound knowledge.

Among the many spells, Acai paid special attention to some spells commonly used in the plane, such as turning beans into soldiers, thunder spells, paper figurine moving spells and five elements spells.

She was well aware of the importance of these spells in actual combat, and therefore invested a lot of time and energy to master them.

Now, with the help of the [Hourglass of Time], Ah Cai has more time to practice spells, make elixirs, and draw talismans.

00541 looked at Ah Cai who was packing her bag and couldn't help but sigh: "The host has drawn so many talismans over the years, I'm afraid even those Taoist priests can't count them. Especially the [Five Thunders Blowing the Top], the power is enough to shake the heavens and the earth!"

Ah Cai smiled faintly and placed the boxes of talismans one by one into the space talisman she had drawn. She said, "This world is extremely dangerous, so it's always a good idea to have more talismans on hand. Five years ago, just a little ghost caused Master Fuxia to lose all his energy and blood, and even a strand of hair turned white. It was truly a pity!"

The Golden Raccoon beside him nodded repeatedly and echoed, "That's true. The power of the righteous path always seems to be less powerful than that of the evil path."

00541 squatted on top of the golden raccoon dog, gently tapped its claw, and said, "What do you know? A hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Taoist sect perished together with those evil cultivators, which led to the decline of the Taoist sect today."

Golden Raccoon shook his head in displeasure and said, "The key is that the Taoist sect is secluded from the world. In our Xuming Temple, few people set foot on Xuming Mountain unless the disease is extremely serious!"

00541 hopped around on the Golden Raccoon's head like a cheerful little bird, muttering non-stop, "The host has been incredibly generous over the years, providing the Taoists at Xu Ming Monastery with a ton of good food! Look, their strength has increased more than tenfold!"

The golden raccoon dog was obviously dissatisfied with 00541's behavior. It kept shaking its head, as if trying to shake this annoying guy off its head. However, 00541 held on to the golden raccoon dog's hair tightly and refused to let go.

"Yes, yes, yes, the things the host gave them are all good things! Spiritual fruits, elixirs, and even those little Taoist children can use the [Space Talisman]!" The Golden Raccoon said helplessly while shaking his head.

Acai stood aside, watching the interaction between 00541 and the golden raccoon dog, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a nonchalant smile.

She said calmly, "The space talisman can only be used for fifty years. It's far inferior to the talisman that I bought when I first entered the dungeon system, which can be used for a hundred years!"

Upon hearing Ah Cai's words, 00541 immediately rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "What are you talking about? Versailles! How can it be the same? This isn't the world of immortal cultivation. Being able to use a space talisman for fifty years is already quite good!"

Ah Cai smiled and stopped arguing with 00541. She turned around, put the last piece of luggage into the space talisman, and then walked towards the gate of the Taoist temple.

As she pushed open the gate to the Taoist temple, the mountain scenery unfolded before her like a beautiful painting. The trees were lush and green, and the stream gurgled gently. A gentle breeze caressed her cheeks, bringing a touch of coolness and freshness.

However, Ah Cai had no time to appreciate these beautiful sights. Her thoughts had already flown away like a bird spreading its wings, heading towards the unknown distance.
