“…Xiao You, go ahead. Grandma will be waiting for you here,” the old woman said again.
"Okay, Grandma, you have to wait for me. The food will be ready soon."
The old woman nodded, watching her granddaughter's departing figure, her eyes filled with reluctance to part with her granddaughter.
She murmured, "...I'm sorry, Xiaoyou, Grandma is old and can no longer accompany you..."
After saying that, the old man closed his eyes.
Wait until the woman finishes cooking that plate of vegetables and comes back.
"Grandma, dinner's ready."
She saw that her grandmother was asleep, and cautiously called out again, "...Grandma, dinner's ready."
Grandma has always been a light sleeper. Every time she finishes cooking, she only needs to call her gently, and Grandma will wake up and smile at her.
However, Grandma hasn't shown any signs of labor today.
She suddenly realized something.
The rice bowl in his hand instantly fell to the ground, and the steaming white rice rolled into the dust...
She gazed at her grandmother lying peacefully in bed, as if she were asleep.
She could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face.
Bai Xi watched this scene unfold, then quietly left with the ghost baby…
...
With the help of Master Baixi, the ghost baby's parents have dug his body out of the hospital.
Following Master Baixi's advice, they buried the child in a beautiful, scenic place.
This is a forest with very fresh, even spiritual air.
They were surprised that the master had found such a good place.
"Master, is this alright?" Du's mother asked her.
Bai Xi noticed the changes in the ghost infant; it seemed to really like the place.
His soul is nurtured here, and soon he will be able to go to the underworld in peace.
Bai Xi nodded, "Okay."
The ghost baby looked at Du's mother and opened up, saying, "My mother does love me; they also have their own difficulties."
Just then, they seemed to hear the sound of a bell ringing.
Looking up, Bai Xi could vaguely see a Taoist temple standing on the mountaintop.
She looked surprised. "There's a Taoist temple here?"
Du's parents and Yanzi also saw the Taoist temple, and their eyes showed surprise.
“Since we’ve come here, it must be fate. Shall we go up and offer some incense?” suggested Madam Du.
She wanted to pray for her unborn child.
Bai Xi: "Go."
Then she went up first.
Lin Xinxi and Yun Nuan followed closely behind.
They climbed for nearly two hours before finally getting close to the Taoist temple.
Mrs. Du was panting heavily from exhaustion, and Mr. Du, supporting her, was also quite tired.
The swallow, on the other hand, climbed up step by step with difficulty, using a stick as a support.
She's a young woman, yet her health can't compare to her parents'; she's truly ashamed.
When the family of three looked at Master Baixi again, she was not red-faced or out of breath, and her face was clean and dry, just like before they went up the mountain.
The three were surprised.
The master truly deserves to be called a master.
Du's mother realized that she had indeed been lazy, as she was so tired after walking such a short distance.
However, the Taoist temple was indeed built quite high, and Du's mother regretted going up there a little while she was climbing.
But when I thought about how the master next to me didn't complain about being tired, I suddenly felt like I was being pretentious, so I gritted my teeth and followed.
When they saw the dilapidated Taoist temple in front of them, they were dumbfounded.
Is this...is this an abandoned Taoist temple?
They made a wasted trip.
At this moment, Bai Xi saw an old man with white hair, dressed in Taoist robes, lying on a rocking chair at the entrance of the Taoist temple.
The old man had white hair but a youthful face, which greatly surprised Du's family of three.
This old man looks so young. It turns out there really are elderly people like the ones depicted on TV.
The old man, seeing them, showed no surprise and said, "You've come to offer incense, haven't you?"
Du's mother quickly realized what she meant, "Um...um."
The old Taoist priest stood up. "Then come with me."
With that, he took the lead and entered the Taoist temple.
The others behind him quickly followed him inside.
Just as Lin Xinxi and Yun Nuan were about to go in, a light screen blocked them from entering.
The old Taoist priest casually waved his hand and said, "Come in."
Seeing this, Lin Xinxi and Yun Nuan cautiously floated inside.
When the old man said those words, Du's mother and her family of three looked puzzled.
They looked behind them.
Three question marks above his head.
There's no one outside.
The old Taoist priest lit a bundle of incense in front of the candlelight, giving three sticks to each person. When he reached Bai Xi, he paused.
He took the three incense sticks back, saying, "You don't need them."
The family of three looked puzzled again; the old Taoist priest in front of them seemed rather strange.
But they can't think about that much right now.
He sincerely bowed to the statue of the Three Pure Ones, then stuck the incense stick into the ash.
After finishing, Du's mother and her family of three began to look around the Taoist temple.
The impression they got was that the place looked dilapidated both inside and out, as if it had been neglected for years.
However, since they went up the mountain, they felt that their minds were at peace, as if the turbid air in their bodies had been expelled.
Because the air here was so fresh, they didn't leave immediately, but instead strolled around the area near the Taoist temple.
This place is deserted, with only this old Taoist priest guarding the temple.
Bai Xi didn't share the same curiosity as Du's mother and the others.
She could feel the old Taoist priest's gaze upon her.
The old Taoist priest walked towards her. "You're a Taoist priest too, aren't you?"
Bai Xi: "Mmm."
The old Taoist priest asked, "Do you think the air here is good?"
