Lunar New Year's eve.
A day for family reunion.
Early morning, in the backyard of Longhu Temple, Qin Luo was practicing his boxing. He was dressed in white, his long hair flowing, and a pure aura swirled around his sleeves, like celestial mist, making his figure appear and disappear.
Xiaodie is sweeping the yard.
Jin Yan and Cai Xia are drinking porridge.
Ziyue sat cross-legged on the platform, cultivating. As the clouds and mist dissipated, she was bathed in the glow of the sunset, appearing otherworldly and ethereal.
After finishing his morning exercise, Qin Luo looked at Zi Yue and jokingly asked with a smile, "Junior Sister, do you need me to take you home?"
Zi Yue opened her eyes and shook her head with a smile. "Senior brother, you don't need to see me off. My home is very close to Longhu Temple. I'll go back later. I'll help you repair the temple first."
In the past two days, the incense at Longhu Temple has been quiet, so Qin Luo and his group have had time to repair the temple. The temple walls and floors have been renovated, and even the mountain road has been widened by one time.
After finishing the porridge, Jin Yan went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Cai Xia ran into the room and called for Xiao Tuanzi. She said in a clear voice, "Great Protector, wake up! You asked me to remind you to get up!"
"Okay, I'll sleep a little longer."
"Then I'll come and call you again later."
"..."
"Great Protector, why aren't you up yet?"
"Get up, get up."
The little dumpling rolled over in bed.
When Caixia called for the third time, the little dumpling finally sat up, a strand of red hair sticking up on her head. She stretched and kicked her legs, with a lazy expression on her face. "Mmm, so comfortable, another sunny day!"
The little dumpling left the room, and the Taoist temple in front of her looked brand new. Humming a little tune, she ran into the main hall of the temple. "Boss, are you guys done? Do you need me to help?"
Qin Luo smiled slightly and said softly, "Sleep a little longer, and we'll be done."
"hey-hey."
The little girl picked up a rag from the bucket and said earnestly with a pretty face, "Don't move, let me do it!"
Jin Yan painted the walls of the inner courtyard white. He carried a half-bucket of lime mortar and said, "Senior brother, there's still some lime mortar left. Why don't we use it to paint the rooms?"
Qin Luo thought for a moment and said softly, "My room doesn't need to be cleaned. Do you think Zi Yue and the others need it?"
Zi Yue nodded with a smile, "Junior Brother, could you help us clean our room?"
"no problem."
"Senior Brother Jin Yan, I'll go help you."
Jin Yan and Cai Xia left the main hall together. Qin Luo looked at Zi Yue and said softly, "Junior Sister, the Taoist temple is almost cleaned up. You should go home early and give my regards to your aunt and uncle. I wish them a Happy New Year!"
"Senior brother, I'll go home now."
See you next year!
Ziyue waved her hand, and the moment she turned around, she vanished from the Taoist temple in the blink of an eye, as if the wind was blowing beneath her feet.
Qin Luo arrived outside the Taoist temple and rewrote the three characters "Longhu Temple" with gold paint. The three characters immediately became dazzling and majestic.
The little dumpling wiped the main hall spotless. With her hands on her hips, she said proudly, "I'm finally done."
"Boss, I'm going to patrol the mountain!"
The little dumpling ran outside the Taoist temple.
Qin Luo gently rubbed the little dumpling's head and said softly, "Bring Golden Horn with you when you patrol the mountain."
"OK."
"Golden Horn, let's go!"
The little dumpling kicked Golden Horn's butt.
Golden Horn was lazily lying on the ground basking in the sun when it heard Little Dumpling's voice, and it immediately stood up excitedly.
"Yes, sir!"
Golden Horn wagged its tail happily.
Qin Luo watched them run down the mountain.
A golden figure appeared beside Qin Luo.
Qin Luo looked at Wu Xuantian beside him and smiled, "Old Wu, your divine power has become even stronger."
Wu Xuantian bowed slightly and said respectfully, "It's all thanks to you, Daoist. I've been getting busier lately, so I probably won't be able to stay at Longhu Temple much in the future."
"It's alright!"
Qin Luo smiled and shook his head, "Old Wu, the people down the mountain need you more than we do."
......
evening.
The sunset glow illuminated the Dragon and Tiger Temple.
In the backyard of the Taoist temple, peach blossoms fall from time to time, and a three-legged black cat leisurely lies on a peach tree.
Qin Luo sat alone in the courtyard. He picked up a cup of tea, took a small sip, and watched the sunset gradually fade into the distance.
The kitchen was bustling with activity. Caixia was making noodles, and she said in a clear voice, "Senior Brother Jinyan, there's one more egg. Shall we make a poached egg for Master?"
Jin Yan sat in front of the stove, tending the fire. He nodded and said, "Junior Sister, you are so thoughtful."
Xiao Die was washing the freshly picked vegetables. When Qin Luo had nothing to do, he cultivated a vegetable garden near the Taoist temple. These vegetables were planted by him and were enough to meet his daily needs.
Caixia walked out of the kitchen, blinked, and asked, "Senior Brother, hasn't the Great Protector returned yet?"
She probably won't be back tonight.
"Senior brother, I'll go cook some noodles."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work."
Caixia smiled sweetly.
After sunset, starlight filled the courtyard. Xiaodie brought freshly cooked longevity noodles to the backyard and said respectfully, "Master Dao, this bowl of noodles is for you."
"Thanks."
Qin Luo placed the longevity noodles on the table.
Jin Yan went deep into the Taoist temple and woke up Zhang Fulong.
Zhang Fulong left the room wearing a gray-blue Taoist robe. Jin Yan asked in confusion, "Master, didn't Senior Sister buy you a new outfit? Why aren't you wearing it?"
"I'll wear it next year."
"Master, today is New Year's Eve. You can wear the new clothes your senior sister bought for you tomorrow."
"Lunar New Year's eve!"
Zhang Fulong was somewhat lost in thought, muttering, "Another year has passed in a daze."
Jin Yan chuckled and said, "Master, Junior Sister has cooked longevity noodles for you. Let's go to the backyard first."
