The man in black robe took out a token and handed it over. Soon the old man took off his hat, revealing a face full of wrinkles, and his rough voice was a bit harsh.
"Please come aboard, sirs!"
"Well, nothing happened in the temple, right?"
"Don't worry, Your Excellency. Everything is fine in the temple..."
Jiang Sheng hid in the space and observed, the charcoal pencil in his hand never stopped drawing the old man's appearance. He couldn't see the token clearly, so he could only draw roughly.
Looking at the huge ship, there were many black-robed people on board. After hearing the commotion, they came out and looked it up and down. One of them sneered and said, "Shadow, what's wrong with you?"
"Tsk tsk, I just went to a mortal place, and I actually got my arm chopped off. This is really... a disgrace to the temple."
Youming's expression was not looking good either. He said in a cold voice, "Venerable Chen, please be careful with your words. If you run into someone from Kirishima, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to escape unscathed."
Everyone was stunned and looked up suddenly.
"What do you mean? How could people from Kirishima appear in the Central Plains? They wouldn't come out unless the sky fell. Besides, they were also severely injured back then. How could they..."
Youying felt a little dizzy and found a place to sit down. He didn't want to pay attention to those idiots and just wanted to watch the fun.
While they were not paying attention, Jiang Sheng quietly teleported into the water, hid under the boat, sneaked onto the boat, found the cabin where the cargo was stored, and went in.
I was soaked all over and was about to take off my clothes to change when a gurgling sound came from my breast: "Ah!"
Awakened by the sound, Jiang Sheng paused and turned his head to look over. He met a pair of clear black eyes. He slowly walked over, reached out and lifted the man up by the collar.
He looked down at the child, who was only four or five years old, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Who are you and why are you on this boat?"
"...My name is Wu Shuyan, you can just call me Yanyan."
"Big brother, why are you on this boat too? You're not in the same group with those bad guys, are you? Then can I follow you? I promise I won't cause any trouble and I know everything."
"Brother, you won't suffer any loss if you take me with you. Ask me anything you want. I know everything about the temple."
After Wu Shuyan finished speaking, he stared at him closely, somewhat suspecting that he was someone sent by the family to find him, but this person didn't look like the right person, so he thought of testing him out.
Sigh, if his old illness hadn't relapsed and he hadn't become like a child with no spiritual power for a month, he wouldn't have to rush over to everyone he saw...
Jiang Sheng looked at the person with rolling eyes and knew that this little guy was lying, but what did it matter? He would just kill him when there was a problem.
He really didn't know much about the temple. If the kid knew more, he could spare his life and take him with him, but he couldn't use the space casually.
Thinking of this, he frowned, not wanting to carry a burden with him.
Seeing him frown and hesitate, Wu Shuyan's heart skipped a beat and he felt a little uneasy. He didn't care about shame anymore, reached out and hugged his legs, and said pitifully: "Brother, take me with you. I will tell you everything you want to know."
Jiang Sheng asked in a low voice: "Then tell me first, how did you get on the boat? If you dare to lie, I will throw you off now."
"...I, I was very interested in the Central Plains, so I ran away secretly. Who knew that so many black-robed men would come on their ship, and I couldn't get out."
"How much do you know about the temple? Tell me."
Jiang Sheng felt very uncomfortable with the dampness on his body. He pulled the little doll away and turned around, whispering, "I want to change my clothes. Turn your back to me."
Wu Shuyan nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Okay, big brother, what's your name? Look, I've told you everything. Shouldn't you also reciprocate?"
"Oh, the little guy knows a lot."
"My name is Yang Zhusheng, you can just call me Brother Zhusheng."
"Enen, Brother Zhusheng, what are you doing in the temple? Are you a believer of the temple? No, that's not right. If you were a believer, you wouldn't be hiding."
Jiang Sheng remained silent. After changing his clothes quickly, he sat down cross-legged. "Tell me, do you know what a temple is? Tell me everything. I'm very curious."
As she said this, she took out a small notebook from her arms, held a charcoal pencil in her hand, looked at him and asked.
Wu Shuyan also learned to sit cross-legged, his chubby little face was stern and his serious look was quite funny.
"The temple is the Hall of Eternal Life. It was built by a Taoist priest one hundred and fifty years ago. He was very powerful and later recruited many disciples. His temple grew larger and larger."
"Besides, he was a fortune teller, and many royal families trusted him. They even let the younger generations in the family learn from him. After the Taoist priest died, his eldest disciple became the abbot and changed the name."
Wu Shuyan sighed as he spoke: "Since then, things have changed. The Palace Master no longer tells fortunes for ordinary people, but only for the royal family, because the wealth offered is too great."
"He also has amazing medical skills. He can heal broken arms and legs, open stomachs, and even revive the dying. His status is very high in all countries."
"According to my... parents, a hundred years ago, the Palace Master was in his fifties. He suddenly became very paranoid and obsessed with immortality."
Jiang Sheng wrote them down one by one, his eyebrows twitching. His brother said that the Palace of Eternal Life disappeared a hundred years ago. He was probably killed and forced to hide.
Anyone who attempts to defy fate and prolong life is a madman. In order to achieve immortality, they must kill the people and so on. If they fail to do so, they may arouse public anger and be destroyed.
Wu Shuyan babble, "That's what happened. Anyway, the temple did a lot of immoral things back then, causing the people to suffer. The four major families besieged them and blood flowed like a river."
"Gradually, the remaining people from the Palace of Eternal Life left and hid on an isolated island. My parents told me about this and also told me that the Central Plains was very lively."
"I really wanted to go and take a look, so I sneaked out."
Jiang Sheng remained silent. After recording everything, he hummed, "Then if you don't leave now and go back to the temple, you'll have made a wasted trip. Why don't you dare tell those black-robed men?"
Wu Shuyan curled his lips. Their family and the temple were sworn enemies. He would be courting death if he told the truth, so of course he had to hide.
"I dare not say. If I say it, who knows if they will kill me. I am not from the temple. I am just a child of a temple believer. If they want to kill me, then they can kill me."
"You have no idea how vicious these black-robed men are. If they suspect I might have heard something, they will definitely kill me. So, big brother, we have to hide well."
Jiang Sheng nodded. Needless to say, he came here to gather information, not to alert the enemy.
Wu Shuyan came over and asked quietly, "Big brother, are you here to ask for medicine at the temple?"
"...Well, my second brother lost his arm, and I want to get medicine to reattach it. I heard that the temple has a magical medicine that can cure it, so I wanted to come and take a look. I don't want to see my second brother without an arm forever."
Jiang Ziang: ...Hehe, when did he lose his arms? How come he didn’t know!
Wu Shuyan nodded his little head: "Oh, so you are like those believers. They usually come here to ask for medicine."
