Nalan Xiaowu was slightly startled, and then asked repeatedly: "How close is that Taoist temple to this place?
How dilapidated it is, can it protect it from wind and rain?"
The idle man from Qingniu Town said: "That Taoist temple has been uninhabited for decades. It only takes us less than half an hour to get there. It shouldn't be a problem to keep out the wind and rain."
"Very good. This saves us the need to set up camp."
Nalan Xiaowu immediately nodded in agreement.
But not long after, Mr. Zhao became a little dissatisfied when he saw that the team was still on their way, and brought people to question Nalan Xiaowu: "Miss Nalan, aren't we going to camp here for a night's rest?
Why continue on the road?
As long as we rush during the day, we can still have time to deliver the things to Grandmaster Zhou within the agreed time."
"Mr. Zhao, the people in Qingniu Town said that there is a dilapidated Taoist temple here, and we can just go there to rest for a night.
Taoist temples have walls and tiles, so if an evil tiger attacks, it can be easily resisted."
Nalan Xiaowu explained.
"Forget it, just listen to you."
Mr. Zhao curled his lips slightly dissatisfied, and continued to return to his luxurious chariot without much argument.
"Miss, this guy is really difficult to take care of. If it weren't for the young boss of Kaitai Commercial Bank, we would really not accept this business."
A young man said in a low voice.
Nalan Xiaowu said calmly: "Be yourself and don't worry about others."
"Yes, miss."
Not long after everyone marched, the sky gradually darkened, and finally they saw a magnificent Taoist temple in the distance.
"Isn't it a dilapidated Taoist temple?"
Nalan Xiaowu looked strange and called the idle man from Qingniu Town to ask.
The other party and the other idle men looked at the Taoist temple together, with doubts on their faces. They had stopped at the Taoist temple not once or twice.
It was only after the evil tiger started hurting people that it did not enter the mountain. How could the Taoist temple look completely new in just a few months?
Not only that, there is an imposing mountain gate in front of the Taoist temple. It is so impressive that when they see it from a distance, they feel a sense of solemnity.
"Ms. Nalan, we don't know what's going on. Could it be that some traveling Taoist people settled here and repaired the Taoist temple?"
The idle man from Qingniu Town said with a strange expression.
"Why don't you leave?
Hey, this Taoist temple is pretty good, it looks a bit more majestic than what I saw from Qingyun. How can there be such a Taoist temple in this small place in the middle of the mountain?"
Mr. Zhao impatiently lifted the curtain from inside the carriage, and just as he opened his mouth to question, he was surprised by the Taoist temple in the distance.
"Mr. Zhao, this Taoist temple should have a new owner. We will stay here for one night."
Nalan Xiaowu Dao.
"Very good, it seems that the owner of this place knew that I was going to pass by here, so he specially repaired it.
Ha ha."
Mr. Zhao said with a smile.
The maids and servants around him began to flatter him.
Nalan Xiaowu ignored him and continued to lead the team to the front of the Taoist temple.
"There seems to be no one."
Nalan Xiaowu looked strange. The Taoist temple was eerily quiet, but for some reason, she always felt as if there were many pairs of eyes quietly looking at them.
A young man said loudly: "[ www.biqusa.info] Is there anyone here?
We are the escorts from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency and would like to stay here for the night!"
The sound echoed.
After a while, the Taoist temple was still extremely silent, and no human voice could be heard.
"Miss, what is this?"
"We'll set up camp here."
Nalan Xiaowu thought for a while and did not break into the Taoist temple without permission. Instead, he pointed to the large open space in front of the Taoist temple gate.
Upon seeing this, Mr. Zhao immediately said: "Miss Nalan, we are already here, why do we still want to live outside?
If you don’t dare to go in, our Kaitai Trading Company will go in first.”
After saying this, he shouted, and the clerks from Kaitai Trading Company drove the carriages towards the Taoist temple.
Where there were steps, they bent down and forcibly lifted the carriage and carried it inside.
Nalan Xiaowu had no time to stop him, so he could only grit his teeth and lead the people from Zhenyuan Escort Bureau into the Taoist temple.
"Do you think it's strange? I came here just once a while ago and it was still dilapidated. How come it has become so grand now?"
"Me too, I have stayed here many times before, and I said that half of the wall had collapsed before, but now it is intact and looks like new."
"It's really strange, but there seems to be no one in this Taoist temple. Could it be that someone repaired this place and then left?"
"Perhaps a disciple of the Taoist priest passed by this place and repaired it."
The idle men in Qingniu Town were looking at the Taoist temple and talking in low voices.
Nalan Xiaowu walked to Mr. Zhao, frowned and said: "Mr. Zhao, it might not be good for us to rush in without saying hello to the owner of this place."
"What's wrong? The most I can do is add some sesame oil money. Since the owner here is not here, how can he care about me?"
Mr. Zhao sneered, then directed everyone to pile up the carriages containing the goods, and then took the maids and servants around him to find a place to live.
The Taoist temple is a large building with seven rooms and many rooms.
When Nalan Xiaowu saw him acting like this, she was always worried. She was afraid that Mr. Zhao would destroy everything here. How would she explain it to the owner of this place?
Then he followed.
Soon, they arrived at the main hall.
"Hey, there seems to be someone inside?"
Mr. Zhao glanced into the main hall, with a look of surprise on his face, and then walked towards the main hall.
Nalan Xiaowu quickly followed and saw a figure sitting cross-legged in the main hall. Only when she entered the main hall did she see the figure clearly.
That was a young man, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. His face was as sharp as a knife and an axe, with golden proportions. There were two sharp eyebrows on the high bridge of his nose! When Mr. Zhao saw this person, his eyes were filled with emotion.
Deep down he couldn't help but feel a flash of jealousy.
"What a handsome young man."
Nalan Xiaowu secretly sighed in his heart, and then he got ahead of Mr. Zhao, stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying: "Nalan Xiaowu from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has met you. I wonder if you are the master of this Taoist temple?"
The figure remained motionless, without even raising its eyelids.
Mr. Zhao frowned and was about to step forward but was stopped by Nalan Xiaowu.
"Mr. Zhao, there is a person from outside the country who has been in samadhi for several months. This person may be in samadhi. If he is the master of this place, we will disturb him by coming here. How can we disturb his samadhi and practice?"
Nalan Xiaowu whispered.
"Since you are the owner of this place, you should come to greet the guests. Miss Nalan, since you are out to travel around the world and are afraid of this and that, why not find a good family to marry.
I am planning to take a concubine, are you interested?"
