Chapter 216: Nameless Taoist Temple, Rain from the Sky
"Master, I think we may not be able to make it to the next town where we will stay today."
Lu Qing and the others didn't know that there was a demon behind them who had turned the entire Jeju upside down and was chasing them.
At this moment, they were looking at the gloomy clouds above their heads and felt a little worried.
The sky looked like it was going to rain heavily, but at the moment they were in the wilderness, dozens of miles away from the next town, and they were afraid they would not be able to get there in a while.
"Since we can't make it in time, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain. I remember there used to be a semi-abandoned Taoist temple nearby. I wonder if it's still habitable now."
The old doctor looked at the heavy black clouds in the sky and knew that if he didn't find a place to shelter from the rain, it would be too late.
They were fine, as they had a carriage to shelter them from the rain, so they didn't have to worry too much about getting wet.
But I’m afraid that it will rain too heavily and the carriage will get stuck in the mud, which will be troublesome.
Under the guidance of the old doctor, Magu drove to find the abandoned Taoist temple.
After checking inside and out, I found that the Taoist temple was a bit dilapidated, with the roof collapsed in many places and light coming through.
Fortunately, the hall is still well preserved and can shelter from wind and rain.
There wasn't even a plaque in front, so they had no idea what kind of Taoist temple this was.
"Okay, let's stay here tonight. I think the rain is going to be quite heavy. We can set off tomorrow."
The old doctor looked around for a while and then made a decision.
Lu Qing and others naturally had no objection.
They are all very ordinary people, and staying in the wild will not have any big impact except that it is not very convenient.
Even Xiaoyan is now very brave and is not afraid at all.
"Master, I'll go outside and get some firewood so I can make a fire and cook."
Seeing Ma Gu taking care of the carriage, Lu Qing said.
"Well, go ahead." The old doctor nodded.
As for Wei Zian, even if he wanted to go out to help, Lu Qing and the others would not feel at ease.
Not long after, Lu Qing came back with a pile of firewood.
Just as he lit the fire, the dark clouds that had been brewing in the sky for a long time finally began to rain.
At first, it was just sparse raindrops, but soon, it turned into a downpour, the sound of which was so loud that Lu Qing and the others were shocked.
"Fortunately, Master, you know there is a Taoist temple here. Otherwise, if we were still on the road, we would have been soaked to the skin."
Lu Qing looked at the thick rain curtain outside, which almost made it impossible to see the scenery ten meters away, and felt somewhat relieved.
Ma Gu and Wei Zian also nodded repeatedly.
Although the carriage they were riding in was specially made by the Wei family and could shelter from wind and rain, it was difficult to guarantee that it would be able to hold up in such heavy rain.
As for Xiao Li, he shrank a little closer into Xiao Yan's arms.
It hates rain the most.
"This rain is indeed quite heavy. It is the heaviest rain I have seen in recent years. As for this Taoist temple, I used to have some friendship with the temple master. After he passed away, no one took care of the temple and it gradually became deserted."
The old doctor looked at the heavy rain outside and sighed, with a hint of sadness in his tone.
When Lu Qing heard this, his heart moved slightly.
Actually, he knew very little about his master's past, and his master rarely mentioned it.
This time, Master rarely mentioned things from the past.
"Master, does this temple master have no disciples?" Lu Qing asked.
"No." The old doctor shook his head. "He is alone and has no disciples."
"So how is the martial arts skill of this temple master? Is he very powerful?" Wei Zian also became curious.
The old doctor smiled and said, "My friend only knows some techniques to cultivate his mind and spirit, and has not made any achievements in martial arts. However, he has a noble character, which I have always admired."
Wei Zian and Ma Gu were immediately in awe.
In their opinion, the old doctor's medical ethics are rare in the world. The character of someone who can make him admire him can be imagined. He must be a very respectable person.
Only Lu Qing had some doubts about his master's words.
He knew that he could only believe half of what his master said about martial arts.
He always says that he has poor aptitude and is not good at fighting.
As a result, it is true that he is not good at fighting, but his aptitude is excellent.
Otherwise, how could he have created the health-preserving boxing and comprehended the artistic conceptions of the harmony of water and fire and the innate realm?
So when he said that the temple master had not made any achievements in martial arts, he was probably being modest.
How could someone who can survive alone in this remote Taoist temple be an ordinary person?
Unfortunately, that person has passed away and I was unable to meet him.
While a few people were chatting, Lu Qing worked quickly to cook a pot of meat porridge and shared it with everyone.
As for Xiaoli, he didn't like porridge, so he ate a big bowl of dried fish.
For this trip, the Wei family naturally prepared sufficient supplies.
But Lu Qing's preparation was even more exaggerated. After all, he had a spiritual weapon like the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.
Not to mention anything else, he put in dozens of kilograms of dried fish just for Xiao Li to eat.
This was because he did not have enough time to prepare and could not buy so many fish at once. Otherwise, he would have wanted to prepare more than a hundred kilograms.
Of course, Lu Qing would not use the things in the Qiankun Yiqi bag unless it was necessary.
Over the past few days, the supplies they had consumed were mainly those on the carriages and those replenished from towns along the way.
On this somewhat chilly rainy day, after a few mouthfuls of hot porridge, everyone felt refreshed.
"Brother Lu Qing, your cooking skills are truly amazing. You can make this simple bacon porridge so delicious."
After drinking a big bowl of porridge, Ma Gu couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Wei Zian, who was also drinking heavily, nodded in agreement.
"It's not that exaggerated. I just put some homemade seasonings in the bacon, which makes it taste special for you." Lu Qing said with a smile.
When you go out, it is naturally not advisable to bring fresh meat with you.
So this time Lu Qing brought all the bacon stored at home.
He had been drying and smoking these bacon over the past two years when he had nothing to do. He didn't expect to use them this time he went out.
Lu Qing and his friends were drinking hot porridge comfortably in the Taoist temple, but the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.
Later on, it was as if there was a hole in the sky, and the rain poured down directly, getting heavier and heavier.
Looking at the water flowing like a column outside the eaves, Lu Qing and the others were a little frightened.
They were afraid that the roof of the hall would collapse if it couldn't hold up.
Or the accumulated water outside may flow back in.
Fortunately, although the main hall is a bit old, its quality is very good, and it is built on a good site, located on a high ground.
So until the rain weakened a little later, the building did not collapse and the accumulated water did not flow back in, which made Lu Qing and the others breathe a sigh of relief.
But the old doctor was still a little worried: "This rain is a little too abnormal."
Lu Qing's heart moved slightly.
This is the first rain that fell after the strange movement of heaven and earth. Does such a heavy rain indicate something?
The old doctor had obviously thought of this problem as well. After looking at Lu Qing, the worry in his eyes became even heavier.
The hall fell into silence.
However, the silence did not last long.
Just as Lu Qing was thinking about the omen of this heavy rain, his expression suddenly changed.
At the same time, Xiao Li's ears also perked up.
After a few breaths, the old doctor also raised his head.
Only Ma Gu and Wei Zian were still unaware.
But before long, they also heard a noise coming from outside.
