The rain stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and a magnificent rainbow bridge hung high in the sky.
After a dizzying spin, everyone returned to their starting point.
Master Jingyuan rubbed his temples. "Ouch, my old back! Disciple, quickly help your master inside to rest."
He suffered terribly that day.
He experienced everything: vomiting blood, losing hair and beard, being beaten, and so on.
Now his head is completely bald, and his chin is also smooth. At first glance, he looks like a peeled hard-boiled egg, which is extremely ugly.
Master Jingyuan muttered to himself, "If I eat my fill, sleep well, and grow thick hair and a beard, I can become a handsome old man again."
No one paid him any attention; the surroundings were eerily quiet.
Master Jingyuan had a bad feeling. He stared at the scene and his expression changed immediately.
Holy crap! Holy crap!!
"My Yuanqing Temple! My vast fortune!"
"Which bastard did this?!"
The already dilapidated Taoist temple became even more dilapidated, with rows of houses collapsing and dust flying everywhere.
A jumble of random things were piled together, with incense burners, paper money, a Bagua mirror, and smelly socks vaguely visible...
The only thing intact is the plaque; the three characters "Yuanqing Temple" still shine as brightly as ever.
At this moment, Master Jingyuan wanted to find a noodle to hang himself.
He grew up in Yuanqing Temple, a place that holds many fond memories for him.
Most importantly, the Taoist temple has collapsed. Where will so many people live? What will they wear? What will they eat?
City living expenses are high; how much does it cost to feed twenty people every day?!
My heart aches! It hurts so much!!
Master Jingyuan turned his head and stared intently at the culprit, "Give me back my Yuanqing Temple!"
Liu Yuanxiu shrank back in fear.
He must not admit it, or the Taoist priest will beat him to death.
Liu Yuanxiu learned to shift the blame: "Daoist Master, this has nothing to do with me. It was all the cockroach monster's doing. The grievance has its source, and the debt has its debtor. If you want revenge, go find him..."
"Shut up! Shut up!" Master Jingyuan rushed over and grabbed his hair. "My Taoist temple, my hair, my beard... how are you going to repay what you owe me!"
Liu Yuanxiu dared not move. "Things have come to this point. Whether to kill or torture, it is up to you, Daoist."
Master Jingyuan was so angry he turned into a pufferfish, crying and cursing, "What's the use of killing you?!"
Yunyan tried to mediate, saying, "Master, calm down."
"I can't calm down at all!" Master Jingyuan let out a sharp, explosive cry. "I'm screaming...!"
The piercing noise gave people headaches and made ghosts cry.
Liu Yuanxiu wiped his eyes. "I'm sorry, Daoist Master."
Lin Xi coughed lightly, "Old man, what's done is done, it will be resolved eventually."
Master Jingyuan paused for a second upon hearing her voice.
I almost forgot about my little grandmaster and her super rich CEO husband.
With them around, knocking down ten Yuanqing Temples wouldn't be a problem.
Master Jingyuan's eyes lit up, and he instantly had a good idea.
He plopped down on the ground and burst into loud sobs, "Waaah, I'm so sorry, Grandmaster, I'm so sorry, all my disciples... Waaah!"
Lin Xi offered a curt reassurance, "Old man, get up."
Master Jingyuan grabbed her trouser leg, tears streaming down his face, "Little Master, I have done a terrible job as the abbot of Yuanqing Temple. I have failed to protect Yuanqing Temple and caused everyone to be homeless and struggling to find food."
“I’m an old man, but Nantian is still young and growing. He must not go hungry.”
Upon hearing his name called, Nan Tian raised his hand in response, "Junior Grandmaster, I'm here."
Master Jingyuan slapped his thigh wildly, "What an obedient child, suffering so much at such a young age. But don't worry, little grandmaster, I'll even beg on the streets! I'll perform for money! I'll sell myself!"
Yun Yan opened his mouth, then turned and moved away.
He didn't want to acknowledge his master in this state.
Lin Xi also wanted to leave, and she was speechless. "Old man, get up quickly, stop being unreasonable."
Master Jingyuan said with a wronged expression, "Grandmaster, you promised to rebuild Yuanqing Temple. Now that the temple has collapsed, can you bear to watch us become homeless, watch Xiaonantian suffer, watch..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Lin Xi understood what he meant. "You won't be homeless, and you don't need to sell yourself. Get up now."
Those present called her "Little Grandmaster," so it was impossible for them to ignore this matter.
With her disciples homeless on the streets, where is she supposed to save face?
The old man knew how to play the victim to gain sympathy, but this time he was really in a bad situation, so he agreed because of the beard.
Master Jingyuan said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Little Grandmaster, you're so kind~"
Nantian followed suit, saying, "Little Master, you're so kind!"
The others exchanged glances and shouted in unison, "Little Grandmaster, you're so, so, so good!"
Lin Xi was amused by them. "Come down the mountain with me later, and you must follow my instructions."
Master Jingyuan immediately jumped up, "Okay, I'll follow your instructions, Junior Master."
Everyone assured each other, "We will follow the instructions of our junior master."
Yun Yan couldn't bring himself to do it, so he stood silently to the side, using actions to show that he would also listen to his junior master.
He was the only outsider present, and Liu Yuanxiu asked awkwardly, "What am I supposed to do?"
Lin Xi paused for a moment, then said, "This is the world of the living, a place where ghosts should go."
Without the fragments, Liu Yuanxiu's soul was no different from that of an ordinary person, and the ghosts were naturally handed over to the underworld for judgment.
Lin Xi waved her hand gently, and a sinister gate appeared in the air.
Liu Yuanxiu tentatively took two steps forward, and the Road to the Underworld described in the storybook appeared before him.
I used to be afraid of death, but I'm not anymore.
No matter how difficult or dangerous the road ahead, face it with a smile.
Mother, I've come to be with you.
Liu Yuanxiu turned back to say goodbye, "Goodbye, everyone."
