Chapter 81: Possessed by the Mold Demon
Li Chunhua looked up and saw that the pond was not far from the palace gate. Even if Xingxing slipped and fell into the pond, she could rush over immediately.
"Go play," Li Chunhua said, still reminding, "Be careful and don't run around."
Xingxing nodded heavily and waved to Ju Ge'er happily: "Ju Ge'er, Xingxing is going out to play! You stay here!"
After saying that, he slipped out.
Orange Brother: “…”
It's my blessing to have a sister like you.
Xingxing ran to the edge of the pond and squatted for a long time, watching the fish sharing a tung flower with fascination.
However, not long after, she heard a rustling sound.
Xingxing raised her head subconsciously and saw a boy who looked about seven or eight years old riding on the outer wall of the Taoist temple!
Although the child was not very old, one could still tell that he had very good facial features. However, there was a misty air between his eyebrows and eyes, making him look a little gloomy.
The child sat on the wall, looked at Xingxing coldly, and said nothing.
Xingxing was just about to ask the young man, "You're climbing so high, aren't you afraid of falling down?"
Before I could even ask the question, this cold, silent and untalkative little brother suddenly tilted his body and fell off the wall!
Xing Xing: “!!!”
She didn't care about anything else and quickly ran out of the Taoist temple gate to see the injuries of the taciturn little brother.
But be sure not to break it!
As it turned out, the child had already climbed up and sat up by himself. Although he was a little dirty from the fall, he seemed to be used to it and sat there without saying a word.
Xing Xing's eyes were full of concern: "Does it hurt?"
The child raised his eyes and looked at Xingxing silently.
Xing Xing misunderstood the coldness in his eyes and thought he was asking for help. She took two steps forward and reached out to help him.
"Don't come over!" the child stopped him harshly.
Xing Xing stood there in a daze, feeling a little overwhelmed.
The child tried to get up by himself, but this time the fall was obviously much harder than he thought. He seemed to have sprained his ankle, and he gasped in pain every time he moved.
Xingxing couldn't just sit there and watch, so she stepped forward and helped the child.
But the child seemed to have encountered something extremely troublesome.
"I told you not to come over here—" the child was a little annoyed, "How could you touch me—"
Xing Xing let out an "ah" and became even more confused.
But since he had already been helped, the child could only grit his teeth, borrow a little help from Xingxing, and try to stand up on his own.
Xing Xing asked: "Can you still walk?"
However, the child pushed Xingxing away gently - he limped along very quickly and soon put some distance between him and Xingxing.
The two were at least ten feet apart when the child turned around, his expression gloomy, and said stiffly: "I told you, but you still didn't listen. If you encounter any bad things in the future, remember to find me."
After saying this, he turned around and limped away.
"..."Xing Xing was a little confused and touched her head.
"Xingxing!"
At this moment, Li Chunhua also discovered that Xingxing was missing, and chased after her in panic.
Seeing Xingxing standing outside the Taoist temple safely, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xing Xing immediately apologized to Li Chun Hua: "I'm sorry, Auntie. I just saw someone falling from the wall, so I came over to check. I'm sorry to have made you worry."
She pointed in the direction where the strange child had just fallen.
Li Chunhua took a look and saw that the weeds there were indeed flattened, and it was obvious that someone had fallen down.
How could Li Chunhua bear to blame her niece since she was so well-behaved and sensible?
Li Chunhua gently pulled her niece's little nose and said, "It's okay, let's go in."
Xingxing nodded, took Li Chunhua's hand obediently, and returned to the Taoist temple together.
The two adults and two children waited for nearly a quarter of an hour before a plump and kind old Taoist priest in a Taoist robe slowly walked out from outside.
Li Chunhua and Su Rouer, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, hurried over and said, "Master, we want to burn incense."
The old Taoist pointed to the incense table and said, "Please help yourself."
After saying that, his eyes quickly scanned the crowd and finally landed on Xing Xing.
When Li Chunhua and Su Rouer heard that burning incense here was free, they looked at each other, happily knelt down in front of the cushions, and prayed for the gods' blessings.
Ju Ge'er was also dragged over by Su Rou'er.
Only Xingxing was left standing at the entrance of the palace.
The old Taoist priest was about to say something when he suddenly saw the black Buddhist beads on Xingxing's wrist.
The old Taoist priest seemed to remember something and his expression changed.
He remembered the advice left by the master many years ago.
When his young master got into trouble, his master asked when his son could recover.
The master only left behind five words of advice.
——Wait for someone to break the deadlock.
At that time, his master also asked the master how to know that the other party was the one who broke the deadlock?
The master just stretched out his hand, let his master take a look at the string of small Buddhist beads on his wrist, and then left.
At that time he was standing far away and did not know what the Buddhist beads looked like.
but……
This little girl now has a string of Buddhist beads on her wrist.
Is it a coincidence, or?
The old Taoist priest said nothing, but put on a smiling expression and chatted with Xing Xing: "Little girl, where did you get the Buddhist beads on your wrist?"
When Li Chunhua heard the old Taoist priest asking Xingxing questions, she thought that the old Taoist priest was concerned about Xingxing wearing Buddhist items in this Taoist temple.
She quickly got up from the mat and confessed to the old Taoist priest: "Master, this string of Buddhist beads was given to my niece by a wandering monk... She has been wearing it on her wrist, please don't blame her."
The old Taoist was slightly startled, but soon regained his composure.
There are many people who have been given Buddhist beads as gifts, and we cannot simply conclude that this is the person who will help the young master break the impasse.
The old Taoist smiled kindly and said, "It's okay. We Taoists don't care too much about these material possessions."
Li Chunhua thought with admiration, he is indeed a great Taoist master!
She had barely finished expressing her wishes when she soon knelt back on the cushion, burning incense and praying to the gods.
Xing Xing, on the other hand, stood aside and watched quietly.
The old Taoist priest looked at Xingxing secretly.
His young master has had a bad physique since he was young. He has bad luck when he walks, eats, or even sits quietly.
The most outrageous thing is that whoever touches his young master will fall down at best, or suffer a bloody disaster at worst.
The situation has become more and more serious in recent years, so his master listened to the advice of an expert and asked him to bring the young master to the deep mountains to hide from the evil spirit.
Just now he heard the young master say that a little girl touched his arm.
The old Taoist priest was also worried that the little girl might encounter a bloody disaster or something and die. Wouldn't that add to the injustice done to his young master?
That's why he hurried here.
However, he looked at the little girl for a long time, but didn't see any signs of bad luck from her.
It's really strange.
