Yin Shu, who was wearing a Daoist robe, had a pitiful look in her big watery eyes. Her voice was filled with reluctance. She bit her lips lightly, as if tears were about to fall from her eyes in the next moment.
Shen Ping sighed and went forward to give Yin Shu a hug.
Yin Shu hugged him tightly. Her cheek was pressed against his chest. “Junior Brother, I don’t want to leave. I want to stay with you like this forever.” She cried.
Soon, tears drenched his clothes. Shen Ping pushed her away and looked at her fair and delicate face. He wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his finger. “Senior Sister, there are always some things in the world that can’t be done as you please. You’re the most outstanding curse genius of the Ling Yin Temple, and you’re also the reincarnation of an immortal. Nothing should block your path of cultivation.”
Yin Shu raised her teary eyes. “Junior Brother, don’t you want to be with me? I don’t want to cultivate. Let’s leave and live in seclusion in the mountains, okay?”
“Silly senior sister. Even if you and I can leave, will your master, martial uncles, and even the Daoist temples in the world agree?”
Shen Ping felt very helpless. He was not afraid of the rules of the Dao lineage, but he was worried that it would delay Yin Shu’s future in cultivation. After all, with his many years of experience, Yin Shu was completely thinking with her heart at this time. She could risk her life for love.
“I, I…”
Yin Shu wanted to say that she was not afraid, but she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Since ancient times, countless Dao Sect disciples who were lost in love had died tragically in the end. She was not afraid of death, but if Junior Brother Ling Zhen died because of this, she would suffer for the rest of her life.
“Senior Sister, go back and cultivate well. When you become a Perfected Person and awaken the memories of your previous life, if you can still maintain your original intention, I will personally go to Ling Yin Temple to pick you up.” Shen Ping said word by word.
Yin Shu fell silent for a moment before nodding seriously. “Alright, Junior Brother. I’ll wait for you.” She turned around and untied the ribbon at her waist. She shyly took off the pink undergarment under her Daoist robe and handed it to Shen Ping. “When I go back, I’ll focus on cultivation and won’t leave the Daoist temple easily. T-Take this undergarment so that you can remember it.” She then quickly left the room.
He held the still warm dudou. The corners of Shen Ping’s mouth twitched. He leaned over and sniffed. There was a fragrance that seemed to be the fragrance of a virgin. He could not help but think to himself that she was really an inexperienced girl in love. However, her courage was commendable.
He had lunch at the inn at noon, then he returned to the Daoist temple.
“Ling Zhen, this is the entire content of the Great Yin Talisman Scripture. Copy it and memorize it.”
“Yes, Master.”
After copying it, the Temple Master of Changling sighed and said, “It’s a troubled period now. Although Shanyang County has gradually returned to its former prosperity, the people of the world in the other areas are still in deep trouble. My Dao lineage originally wanted to protect the people of the world. Ling Zhen, you’re extremely talented in spells, so the temple decided to let you go out to sharpen yourself in advance. This way, you can grow faster.”
Shen Ping was stunned. “Master, I…”
Ling Wu interrupted, “This is the decision of the Ancestral Master.”
The Temple Master of Changling handed Shen Ping another bell. “This is the Dharma artifact used by the fifth generation Ancestral Master of my Changling Daoist Temple, the Soul Reverberation Bell. It will ring as long as any demons or ghosts approach it. I’ll give it to you today. Tomorrow, you can go down the mountain to travel.”
Shen Ping took the Dharma artifact and immediately understood. This was to use the excuse of traveling to let him stay away from trouble and preserve the inheritance of Changling Temple.
Could it be that things had already become so bad?
He walked out of the Ancestral Hall.
Martial Uncle Ling Wu sighed and said, “Ling Zhen, although you’ve only cultivated in Changling Temple for two years, you’re still from the branch of Changling Temple. I believe you’ve seen the Temple Master’s intentions. This is also a helpless move. Ever since the last time we investigated the power behind the City G.o.d in Shanyang, the Ling Yin Temple has suffered a lot. One of their Perfected Persons has even died. Such a situation had made Changling Temple vigilant and take precautions.”
Shen Ping could not help but say, “Martial Uncle, what about you guys?”
Martial Uncle Ling Wu laughed. “Don’t worry about us. With the protection of the Ancestral Master, if we really encounter a crisis, your master and I can hide in Blessed Land. That place is located in the Netherworld. Without a specific location, it’s very difficult to find Blessed Land. Your cultivation is not deep enough to enter. You can only leave. The Temple Master is also protecting you.” He took out a book from his sleeve. “This is my insights since I started cultivating. It might be helpful to you.”
“Thank you, Martial Uncle.”
“Don’t forget that you’re from Changling Daoist Temple. If there really comes a day when Changling Daoist Temple is gone, I hope you can rebuild the Daoist Temple and continue the incense.”
“I will!”
The next day, Shen Ping packed his bag and stood at the entrance of the Daoist temple. He turned around and looked at the Daoist temple that was curling with smoke. This Daoist temple was not big, but there was a trace of warmth here. “Master, Martial Uncle, Ancestral Masters, I’ll come back after I’ve made some progress.” With that, he turned around and left.
Inside the temple, the Temple Master of Changling let out a long sigh. “It’s good that he’s left. In this court battle, His Majesty is determined to reduce the number of Daoists. No Dao lineage in the world can protect themselves. My Changling Temple’s foundation is weak. Under this huge wave, it’s very easy to be overturned by the waves.”
Ling Wu was silent. “Temple Master, are all the Ancestral Masters ready?”
“They are. We’re just waiting for news from Ling Yin Temple.”
“I think it’s difficult. Our boat is small, so it’s easy to turn around. However, the Ling Yin Temple is different. The remaining Perfected Persons and Perfected Lords won’t easily take refuge in advance until the last moment..”
