Under the pine tree, there is a straw mat. Sitting cross-legged on the straw mat is an old Taoist priest with silvery hair but ruddy complexion.
Su Hen stepped forward and saluted, "Hello, Taoist Priest, my name is Su Hen. I have taken the liberty of disturbing you. Please don't take offense!"
From the moment she entered the door, Taoist Priest Yuming's eyes had been fixed on her and never moved away, with a solemn expression.
However, he did not get up from the straw mat, but waved his fly whisk in the air and said in return, "Hello, I am a poor fellow who has inconvenient legs and feet and cannot stand to greet you. Please don't take offense!"
"The Taoist priest is serious!"
Su Hen didn't want to be in a condescending position, so he squatted down and looked at the Taoist priest at eye level.
"I wonder what the girl wants to ask when she sees Pindao?"
Taoist Priest Yuming was a cheerful person. He knew that Su Hen must have a purpose in coming to see him, so he got straight to the point.
"How long has the Taoist priest been at this Taoist temple?"
"I started practicing Taoism in this Taoist temple when I was 3 years old, so it has been 105 years."
"The Taoist priest also saw it. I look very similar to the Bodhisattva statue in the Taoist temple. Please tell me, Taoist priest, did you leave the Bodhisattva statue just like this here, or did you build it later?"
"It's always been like this! According to Master Pindao, this Bodhisattva statue has been here for at least thousands of years and has always been here."
Because of the wood carving, Su Hen was not too surprised, "Does the Taoist priest know why this Bodhisattva statue is different from other statues but is carved like me?"
"Girl, this is a joke. How does Pindao know these long-lasting things?"
Taoist Priest Yuming smiled.
That's right. If it happened thousands of years ago, the Taoist priest would only be a hundred years old. It's really difficult for me to ask questions like this.
"Then may I ask, who is that Taoist priest Yu Shanzi?"
Su Hen continued to ask.
When he heard her mention Yushanzi, Taoist Master Yuming's face looked like he was worshiping his ancestors, and he immediately became extremely pious, "He is a real person who has wandered here!"
"Oh? He wandered here and stayed temporarily? He is what people call a living god outside? Then where was he originally?"
Su Hen asked.
"I don't know."
Yu Ming looked at her tone and felt a little disrespectful towards Yu Shanzi, whom he regarded as a god, so he didn't bother to pay attention to Su Hen and closed his eyes to meditate.
Su Hen had no choice but to stand up, bend down to salute, and then leave.
When the Taoist boy saw her coming out, he safely showed her the way and then went to do his own work.
Su Hen walked alone on the bluestone steps and took out the piece of green jade given to her by Shanzi Jade.
Didn’t Zhao Niuniu say that these five-color stones were Nuwa’s spiritual stones to mend the sky?
It is rare to encounter in the world.
Why did I get three yuan so easily?
There are two pieces among them that were sent to me eagerly?
She also took off the two pieces of jadeite from her neck and placed them side by side in her palms.
The crystal-clear yellow, white and green jadeite lay on her ruddy and clean palm, exuding a faint glistening light. It was very beautiful, and the aura was overflowing, intersecting with each other, making it very comfortable.
With these three pieces of jade, she believed that she would definitely have the chance to gather the other two pieces.
When I collect five five-color stones, I guess I will have the opportunity that Zhao Niuniu mentioned.
In that case, she might be able to break through some constraints and be able to be with Xiao freely, right?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel filled with joy, and reached out to touch the red birthmark on her face.
