The Taoist priest was obviously walking, but with the naked eye he could see that the surrounding rocks and trees were retreating as if they were flying away.
Only then did Bai Zeqing realize that the Taoist priest had been really slow just now in order to accommodate her.
What amazed her the most was that the Taoist priest still maintained his graceful and stable posture despite being so fast. Those rugged rocks and trees blocking the road were always dozens of feet away in the blink of an eye when Bai Zeqing felt as if they were about to collide.
outside.
The sudden cliff ahead was about to hit him, but the Taoist priest stepped on it and jumped up lightly.
The moment he was in the air, Bai Zeqing was so frightened that he screamed and closed his eyes, subconsciously holding something tightly in his hands.
"Ahem, let go!"
Bai Zeqing was too nervous and was still screaming.
"If you don't let go, I will let go." The voice was a little strange, as if he was being strangled.
Bai Zeqing opened her eyes - she really strangled the Taoist priest's neck with all her strength. "I'm sorry!" She quickly let go of her hand, but immediately tightened the hole in the shoulder of the Taoist robe again... the more she pulled, the bigger it got.
The Taoist priest glanced sideways at her, his expression a little strange, but he didn't say anything else.
Bai Zeqing breathed out softly, not daring to say anything else. He quietly tugged on his clothes a few more inches, tightening them by two points.
In Yuanzhou City, there is an unknown Taoist temple that fits the image of a Taoist priest very well——
Bai Zeqing stared blankly at the few grasses that the Taoist priest had thrown at her feet, and then at the down-and-out Taoist priest who was sitting on the window edge with a piece of dead grain grass in the corner of his mouth, acting cool and nondescript, and his expression was a little dazed.
She really could not have imagined that they would come to such a poor place after walking through the streets and over the mountains. Could this be the Taoist priest's... mountain gate?
Moreover, are these grasses...really...medicine? He obviously picked them up casually in the overgrown yard outside the Taoist temple...
She didn't dare to ask, and she didn't have the energy to ask. Her legs still hurt, and it seemed that her head was starting to hurt too.
She decided to give up thinking, took a piece of cloth from the hem of her skirt and put it on the ground, picked up a stone, crushed the medicine, and applied it to the injured area. She grimaced in pain. She took a peek at the Taoist priest who was looking out the window as if he was in a trance.
He forced himself not to make a sound.
Overnight, Cheng was imprisoned, tortured and poisoned, and escorted in prison cars, one after another. Whether she was waiting for help on a snowy night or trying to survive in prison, she was always exhausted physically and mentally from the pressure, and had no chance to think too much.
Following the Taoist priest all the way to Po Tao Temple, it was thrilling and bizarre.
Of course, the bizarre is a fact, and the thrilling is just Bai Zeqing's unilateral feeling.
However, just being out of danger, she had mixed feelings for a while.
When she thought of her family gone, she was now alone. Even if she believed her father, there was no evidence. She didn't know who to avenge her eldest brother, second brother and Qi brother. Where should she find her mother, uncle, and aunt?
Originally, she was secretly expecting the Taoist priest to take her to find her uncle. She thought that even if she acted like a fool, she would help him get a thangka to repay his life-saving grace. But when she arrived at this Taoist temple, she knew that all these were
It's just her delusion.
This Taoist priest never mentioned his uncle or thangka from beginning to end.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, and the more she thought about it, the more uncertain the road ahead was. Her nose became sore, and her tears fell.
As soon as the Taoist priest turned around, he was stunned. It was normal for this little girl to be locked in the bilge of the prison car. How could she be crying after escaping? She was obviously protected by a trace of resentment when she fell. Was it that painful?
"Hey, are you a masochist?"
"Well?"
"You won't cry if you're locked up, but you'll cry if you escape?"
"I, I didn't cry! Sha, I squinted my eyes..." Bai Zeqing wiped his face randomly.
"Give me the puppet, and you can go and we will be cleared." The Taoist priest was too lazy to talk nonsense to her.
"Puppet?" Bai Zeqing looked confused.
The Taoist priest frowned and looked at her, trying to read something from her face, but it was the first time Bai Zeqing heard this word, so there was no clue.
So the Taoist priest said two more words out of compassion, "Give me the wood carving."
"No!"
Bai Zeqing finally understood that the thing the Taoist priest said he would give her in exchange for when he rescued her was actually the wooden figure that Brother Qi made for her.
She didn't know why, and she didn't want to know, because there was no room for negotiation on the matter, so she refused without thinking.
"If I kill you, I can take it for myself!" the Taoist said coldly.
Of course Bai Zeqing understood this truth. The Taoist priest showed strength when he saved her and along the way, and it was easy to kill her.
However, this little wooden figure was made for her by Brother Qi himself, and it was also the last thought that Brother Qi left for her. How could she give it up to others just to survive?
Her mind was spinning rapidly, but she had no intention of hurting Chun Beiqiu anymore. She sniffed and said, "Taoist Master, you worked so hard to save my life, and you carried me such a long way. Kill me."
I am the least cost-effective, right, which means that your work has been in vain!"
"It's not in vain." The Taoist priest nodded, "Give me the wood carving."
The Taoist priest took it for granted. It is impossible for this little girl to see the resentment of the remaining soul in this wooden sculpture. To her, it is just an ordinary wooden sculpture. How can it be more important than life?
Bai Zeqing looked at the serious look on the Taoist priest's face and thought that this Taoist priest was indeed capable, but why did he feel so careless?
For the sake of saving her life, she continued to persuade her with kind words: "Taoist priest, this wood carving is not valuable..." Seeing the Taoist priest frowning, she quickly covered her heart with her hands to cover the place where the little wooden figure was hidden, and repaired it.
One sentence: "But it is more important than my life."
"Playing rogue?" The Taoist priest rubbed his beardless chin and looked at her coldly.
"Who is playing a rogue!" Bai Zeqing was angry and defended: "Didn't I tell you that the wood carvings are worthless! I..."
She rolled her eyes and said: "I follow the rules of the world and buy my life with money!" She used to listen to Brother Qi telling her stories about the world, and there was always a part about buying his life with money. This Taoist priest and Taoist temple were both in such a miserable state.
He must be rare in money.
"Little girl, not everything can be bought with money." The Taoist priest taught her a serious lesson, then raised three fingers and said, "Three thousand taels!"
"How much?" Bai Zeqing shouted.
The Taoist priest only shook his finger.
"Three, three thousand taels?" Bai Zeqing's blood pressure was so high that he didn't dare to curse loudly. He couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "Why don't you go and grab it?"
"You can't rob mortals' property at will." The Taoist priest shook his head seriously, "There are too many rules, it's annoying."
Oh, this ear is really good. Bai Zeqing twitched the corner of his mouth, forced a smile, and said with a bit of a coquettish tone towards Brother Qi, "Taoist Master, I'm worthless!"
The Taoist priest raised the corner of his mouth, pointed at himself with a thumbs up, and said: "I'll take action, it's worth money."
"A bastard! The trick you use to deceive a child is worth three thousand taels!" Bai Zeqing muttered in her heart. If he wasn't from the barren mountains and couldn't beat him, she would have wanted to turn around and leave.
She couldn't think straight, so she simply said: "I really don't have three thousand taels, why don't you just kill me." After saying that, she shrank half an inch towards the wall. The Taoist priest couldn't judge it with common sense. What if it really happened?
