Chapter Fourteen

At dusk, the heat of the day is about to dissipate, and the wilted trees seem to be reborn.

Jiang Yue sat on a protruding huge rock on the side of the mountain and looked into the distance towards the July City of Shang Kingdom.

From this morning, he felt that an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness spreading in his heart, but he couldn't think of what this uneasiness was.

Fengduan is in July City, Jin Mancang is also there, and more than a dozen "buds" under Jin Mancang are all good at martial arts. If Nalan Xue really encountered some trouble, they would be enough to protect her from hiding for a while and waiting for him to take people to save him, but... what happened made him so uneasy, so tight and so anxious all day long!

Suddenly, a strange figure appeared in the direction of the mountain pass. The man was wearing a sky-blue robe and carrying a not-so-large bamboo basket, like a... Taoist priest?

Yes, that's right, he's just a Taoist priest!

Jiang Yue frowned slightly, stood up from the protruding boulder, whistled to his subordinates to be alert, and turned around and entered a small door behind him.

From the mountain pass to here, there are ten steps and one trap at a time. When he first came here, he had books to guide him and brought more than a hundred loyal subordinates with excellent martial arts skills. He also took a lot of effort and injured more than 70% of the people to arrive. How could this Taoist priest he had never seen before easily pass through the trap of the mechanism and come here with his own strength? Look at his clothes that are not messy, it should be. It is nothing to do!

I just don’t know... he is an enemy or a friend?

If Jiang Yue was not allowed to whistle, the guards would only follow the military rules he set and continue to wait quietly at their posts, wait for people to approach and observe before making a decision, whether to let him continue to move forward to the pool and arrest him, or silence him on the spot.

"Who is coming!"

Following Jiang Yue's instructions, more than a dozen guards in the sentry opened the stone gate leading out and rushed out. They walked three steps away from the stone gate and stopped by themselves surrounded the Taoist priests, unsheathed their swords and placed them on his neck to prevent any incidents.

"I have important matters to ask for the Prince of Sishui Kingdom. I hope to spread it."

The visitor was Taoist priest Tianshi, who had been in love with the Nalan family for decades. This was the second time he left the Taoist temple after he went to Gushan outside Zhaoyang City to practice Taoism. Just like he went down the mountain for the first time twenty years ago, it was also for Nalan Xue.

"The Taoist priest surname is Tian?"

Listening to Taoist Master Tianshi's report to his home, Jiang Yue, who had just come down from the hillside, was stunned.

If he remembered correctly, his ancestors were also guided by a master surnamed Tian. Before the disaster came, he "did" a concubine in his family and took him to leave the Lingtian Empire's capital at that time and lived in seclusion in the wilderness to preserve the inheritance. Also, one day, among the younger generations, someone would become a hegemony of a country, and would decline after several generations... It is also, extremely accurate!

"Your Highness, peace."

He looked at Jiang Yue who was walking from not far away. Taoist Priest Tianshi smiled and bowed to him slightly, as if he could see through the grimace mask he wore on his face. "He came here rashly today, it was very rude, so I hope you don't blame me."

"How can Taoist priest know that Gu is Jiang Yue?"

Mingren did not say secret words in front of him, and Jiang Yue instinctively respected the old Taoist who was emitting fairy spirit on his body, bowed and gave him a bow, "I don't know if I have come here for a long time and have no doubts. If you really want to be rude, Jiang Yue should ask Taoist Master not to blame."

"I came today to tell your nobles that a ancestor had never finished speaking."

Taoist Priest Tianshi smiled and brushed off the sword on his neck, as if it was just paper-made things, with no weight at all. Then, under the astonished eyes of the guards, he slowly walked to Jiang Yue, "I wonder, Your Highness is willing to take some effort to listen to me?"

"I wish to listen carefully."

After hearing what Taoist priest Tianshi said, Jiang Yue became even more sure. He was the descendant of the master who had guided his ancestors, and hurriedly turned to the side, gave way to him, and made a "please" gesture. With the other hand, he took off the mask on his face to show respect for him. "Please."

After walking into the mountain with a familiarity, Taoist Master Tianshi said enough to help him solve his doubts, "Your Highness has built this mountain more and more. Seventy years ago, when I came here with my friends, there were only some mechanisms and traps..."

"Seventy years ago? I dare to ask... Is Taoist priest so old this year?"

Jiang Yue took a closer look at the Taoist priest who was quite fairy-like in front of him. He looked at the most, at least in his forties or fifties. However, he told him that he had been here seventy years ago, and he was still with his friends... He could be called a friend or to come to such a place, at least he had to be eleven or eleven years old, but...

"By dawn three days ago, the 128th birthday just passed. Oh, when it comes to my friend, I should have a lot of connection with you."

Knowing that it was his own appearance that surprised Jiang Yue, Taoist Master Tianshi just smiled slightly.

Since many years ago, he has realized the secret of heaven, and it has been more than eighty years since now. In these eighty years, time has stopped on him... He looked at his former friends, born, old, sick and dead one by one, then, he looked at his friends' children, born, old, sick and dead. Then, he heard that his friends' grandchildren were suffering, but he could not reveal the secret of heaven at will and changed their fate for them. This kind of pain is indescribable...

Sometimes, he often wonders, if he can also be born, old, sick and die like an ordinary person, or if he simply bears himself, would he not need to experience so many bad things, but he cannot.

"If Jiang Yue's great-grandfather was still here, he would be about the same age as the Taoist priest."

Faced with this old Taoist priest who was almost the same age as his great-grandfather, Jiang Yue's attitude was much more respectful. Although the old Taoist priest did not explain that his old friend had any connection with him, he probably wouldn't be too distant. "I offended him before, so I hope the senior will forgive me."

"I have a lot of things to deal with when I come down the mountain this time. The clichés are temporarily exempted, so let's get back to the topic."

As Taoist Master Tianshi said, he took out a few pieces of yellow paper from his sleeve, first took the top one and handed it to Jiang Yue. "This is the explanation of the second half of the divination that the ancestors had occupied. I took a look. It was a good fortune. It was about what you were planning to encounter a little test, but it was just a few small things. You just need to hold on to your original wishes and you can move freely."

"This picture was a divination I made when the girl from the Nalan family was born, which was about her fate of life. She had many misfortunes before she was twenty-five years old, but it was strange that the first one and the last one were you."

As the Taoist Master Tianshi said, he looked up slightly and looked at Sima Yu again. However, after hearing this hexagram, he smiled happily on his face. Before he could hand the yellow paper to him, he stretched out his hand and asked for it. So he shook his head, sighed lightly, and handed the page of yellow paper to him. "The hexagram says that you two should have a good marriage for a hundred years, but because of the misfortune of the moon in the sky, he accidentally knocked over the marriage plate and wrapped the red line of you two with the others, so he got so many people now... This is the secret of heaven. I shouldn't have told you... You know, then you know. Don't tell others, especially the ghost girl in the Nalan family..."

"The last one is occupied by me three days ago. It is considered to be the girl of the Nalan family. If you are in trouble tomorrow at noon, you will take a woman's body and go to Linshui City. At the foot of the second mountain that counts from the direction of the city gate, at the edge of the pool there, waiting to catch her up."

Perhaps because of the secret of heaven, Taoist Master Tianshi spoke, his appearance began to grow old quickly as he could see. When the last piece of yellow paper was handed to Jiang Yue, he turned into a 10-year-old man with white hair and hair, looking like he was ten years old. "You are not enough to protect her now, so remember to deal with the female corpse I brought before and put on her clothes... It is not the first time you do this. I believe that you can do it without revealing your strength... I, a practitioner of the Pure Land, shouldn't care about so many of your idiots and teach you to do evil... But it's up to the people of the world, so I have to say more of these words!"

"Don't worry, senior, Jiang Yue will live up to Xue'er, the people of the world, and the Taoist priest who will not hesitate to reveal the secrets of heaven!"

Jiang Yue has never been a person who talks about gratitude, but now, he has seen with his own eyes that Taoist priest Tianshi has gone from a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties to a crane-haired old man in his twilight years for him and Nalan Xue. Under this stimulation, he couldn't help but hold his gratitude in his heart anymore, "Please accept Jiang Yue's greeting!"

"Using your life to remember every word you say today is my greatest gratitude to me, the boy from the Jiang family."

At this moment, Taoist Master Tianshi had already changed his name to Jiang Yue, stretched out his hand that had become like a dry bone, and gently patted his shoulder, "It's not too early, I should leave... You should prepare too soon, it's not too late... The girl from the Nalan family will not be able to do anything..."

"Yes! Jiang Yue follows the instructions of seniors! Let's prepare now! Seniors..."

Jiang Yue said, while raising his head and looking at the position where Taoist Priest Tianshi should have been. He didn't see anyone. He hurriedly looked around again, but he still didn't see anyone!
