Chapter 274 Fairy Descends to Earth to Obstruct Dreams

Fayuan Temple is very lively today, with pilgrims coming in an endless stream to burn incense and make wishes. The young monks who were supposed to attend morning classes have been arranged to do reception and guidance.

Gu Nan walked around the front hall twice and found that many pilgrims were muttering "immortal". It seemed that they were not here to worship Buddha, but to seek immortality.

Gu Nan casually grabbed a kind-looking woman and said, "Excuse me, which mage is this immortal you're talking about?"

The woman continued walking but still replied, "It's not a mage, it's an immortal. The immortal has descended to earth."

Gu Nan: "What?"

When did she come down to earth? How come she didn’t know that there was a new immortal in Fayuan Temple?

"You wouldn't know at first glance," the woman said excitedly, yet with restrained pride, "You should have seen the strange phenomenon outside the city yesterday morning. It was the manifestation of an immortal!"

Gu Nan: “…Huh?”

The woman was dissatisfied with Gu Nan's reaction. She tutted her tongue, pulled Gu Nan closer, and lowered her voice, "It's absolutely true. I'm nearby. The top of the mountain was flattened by lightning. I went to see it this afternoon, and guess what? It's just like spring, with wildflowers everywhere and persimmons hanging on the trees! What else could it be but a divine presence?"

Gu Nan: “…”

Why didn’t she see the persimmon tree?

Seeing Gu Nan's stunned look, the woman finally revealed a satisfied smile, "Miss, I told you this because I think you're smart. You must not spread this news to anyone else."

This is to reduce competition and seize the opportunity to worship the immortal.

Gu Nan blinked her almond-shaped eyes in understanding, and her pigtails swayed as she nodded, "I know, I know."

The woman was even more satisfied. A wave of maternal love took over and she took Gu Nan's hand. "Come on, let's go see the immortal with auntie. I have acquaintances in Fayuan Temple."

Gu Nan's scalp tingled, and his toes dug into the ground. "No, no thanks. I don't have anything to ask for."

The woman glared at her and said, "Nonsense, at such a good age, what else can you ask for but marriage?"

As she spoke, she pulled Gu Nan away with the strength of an ox.

At the end of the stretch, she gasped and muttered, "How can such a small girl be stronger than an ox?"

Gu Nan looked at the sky: "..."

She even used all her magic power and still managed to pull it this far. Not to mention, she's quite strong.

Gu Nan didn't recognize the acquaintance the enthusiastic aunt mentioned, but the other party obviously recognized Gu Nan and almost fell off the chair when he saw her.

"Master Liaowu, did the immortal say when he will appear again?" The aunt put the basket in her arms under the table familiarly, without noticing the other person's sudden change of expression.

Liao Wu stood up suddenly and took several steps back. His panicked eyes darted back and forth between Lan Zi and Gu Nan. Finally, his face flushed red as he stammered, "This, this can't be done. This can't be done."

His aunt gave him a strange look and said, "They're just things from the fields. What's so special about them? Don't worry. We don't have any roosters at home, and we wouldn't dare bring eggs that can hatch chicks to the temple."

Liaowu was speechless under Gu Nan's stare, and his hands were shaking in front of his chest.

Gu Nan looked at him with interest.

She had no impression of Luo Wu, but the other party avoided her like the plague.

It seems that her reputation as the Thousand-Year Ghost King is already widely known. Except for Hui Wu and his disciples, no one in the entire Fayuan Temple is not afraid of her.

Gu Nan teased him intentionally, "Master, my aunt told me that an immortal descended upon Fayuan Temple. Is that true?"

Liaowu trembled even more violently.

Liaowu may not be that afraid of her, but he was unlucky and was caught by her accepting filial gifts. If she sued him, he would definitely be punished. He was terrified and scared.

The aunt felt that Lao Wu was very strange today and looked at Gu Nan in confusion.

Gu Nan looked back innocently, his almond eyes bright and clear, "Auntie, are there any immortals?"

"..." Aunt's face was dim and she hurriedly pulled Gu Nan away.

The aunt was very disappointed that she didn't get any information and had given away a basket of vegetables and eggs for nothing. She quickly got together with other aunts who had heard the news to exchange information.

Finally, the conclusion was drawn: the miracle was real, and the one who came down to earth was a fairy, and she was in Fayuan Temple.

Although the aunts were short of words, they spared no effort to praise her as a fairy concubine who was the embodiment of the beauty of heaven and earth. It was so pleasant to hear them.

Gu Nan sat among them, peeling the peanuts they had brought up the mountain for them. His little face was rosy, and his big, watery eyes were round and bright, making anyone he looked at feel soft-hearted.

So the aunts began to praise her again, praising her beauty, praising her likability, and praising her for being kind-hearted and blessed.

Gu Nan knew that they were actually saying that she was stupid and that she only worked without eating peanuts, but she still felt happy when the aunts praised her and stuffed peanuts into her hands.

The aunts were so nice, she had never heard so many nice words in her life.

At the end of the conversation, their mouths were dry and the aunts went back to their homes. Gu Nan walked around the mountain gate and returned to the backyard without anyone noticing.

She put the peanuts in her arms on the table and called Niu Niu and Aunt Yang to come and eat.

These peanuts become more fragrant the more they are fried. Aunt Yang is very restrained and only eats a few and then stops. Niu Niu follows suit.

Ordinary families have to sell the peanuts they grow first, and save the rest until they can eat them when entertaining guests during the Chinese New Year.

It wasn’t much, just a few for each person to eat, and it was a rare treat for children.

Gu Nan: "Eat it all. It won't taste good if it gets damp."

Niuniu gave half of it and said, "Put these away and eat them tomorrow. They won't get damp tomorrow."

Gu Nan smiled and said, "You decide for yourself."

Niu Niu skipped back to her room with the peanuts in her hands and put them away.

Gu Nan peeled two for Litchi to chew. Litchi was dancing with joy while eating and grabbed the peanuts, asking Gu Nan to continue peeling them for her.

Niu Niu also peeled peanuts to tease her, taking turns taking one, and the two sisters laughed together.

Gu Nan still left after dark.

There were dark shadows in the mountains, and Chunyi didn't turn on the lights, but Gu Nan could see the new swing on the tree in front of the house with his super night vision.

The night breeze blows gently, and the swing swings gently in the wind, like a child who is reluctant to rest. If you get closer, you can seem to hear the sound of it playing.

Gu Nan sat on it and swung gently.

The mountain breeze blows on my face, and the night tide kisses my temples and eyebrows tenderly.

There used to be a swing in the orphanage. A circle of plastic flowers was wrapped around the rope, and bells hung in the stamens. It would make a crisp sound when it was swung gently, and almost all the children liked it.

Gu Nan also likes it, and his deepest and happiest childhood memories are all related to it.

She looked up and crossed the dense forest to find the stars in the sky. Many stars were hidden behind the clouds, only the morning star broke through the clouds and shone brightly in the darkness.

The nights in deep winter are very quiet, and not a single sound can be heard even in the mountains and forests.

I don’t know how much time passed, but suddenly a few rapid gasps were heard in the wooden house.

Then there were hurried footsteps.

"Squeak."

The bedroom window was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and the window frame hit the wall with a sudden muffled sound.

Gu Nan opened his eyes and met Chunyi's eyes by the window.
