Lu Zheng frowned, Aunt Li had obviously lied.

"Really?" Lu Zheng smiled slightly, looked at the old woman, and then at Aunt Li, "I wonder when my little sister will come back? Can I wait for her at home?"

"Of course!" Aunt Li nodded and did not refuse.

They were all poor people, and there was nothing that could be coveted by this pampered young man who looked like he was living in the city.

"You can sit wherever you like and I'll get you a glass of water." Aunt Li put down the bowl in her hand and helped the old woman sit down. "Mother-in-law, please rest first while I go take care of this young man."

The old woman patted Aunt Li's hand to express her gratitude, and nodded to Lu Zheng, "There is nothing in the house, sir, please don't dislike it."

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Young sister Yang saved your life, how dare you mind?"

The old woman's wrinkled face showed a touch of kindness, "It should be, it should be, my little sister has no other skills, she just knows medicine. Since she encounters someone, she should naturally help."

Lu Zheng smiled and nodded at the old woman, then turned back to the yard, looked around, and sat on a stone bench next to her.

After a while, Aunt Li arranged for the old woman and came out with a bowl of warm water, "This is the well water that was just heated. It's still warm. It's cold. Master, drink it while it's hot."

Lu Zheng took the pottery bowl with two holes missing, looked at the slightly turbid warm water in the bowl, placed the bowl gently on the table, and then saw Aunt Li looking out of the courtyard.

"What are you looking for?" Lu Zheng asked.

"Young master came alone?" Aunt Li couldn't help but ask, "The mountain road is difficult to travel. You went to the mountains to play without a guard?"

"I know how to use two-handed boxing and have good physical strength, but I haven't brought any guards with me." Lu Zheng smiled slightly and his eyes narrowed, "I just saw that my aunt looked troubled, but didn't Miss Yang go to collect medicine?"

Aunt Li felt her heart skip a beat when she was stabbed by Lu Zheng's eyes. She couldn't help but tell the truth, "Little sister, little sister... she went up the mountain..."

"Going up the mountain?" Lu Zheng couldn't help but turn around and looked at the mountains outside the village, not quite understanding what she meant.

"No, yes, we're going up to Laofeng Mountain at the back." Aunt Li looked towards the deep mountains to the southwest of the village.

"Laofeng Mountain?" Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Is there anything weird about that mountain?"

Aunt Li nodded repeatedly, "There is a temple in that mountain. There used to be an old Taoist priest who lived in the temple. He was kind-hearted and he often went down to the mountain to help the villagers drive away ferocious beasts and cure diseases and save people. The old Taoist priest passed away a few years ago and took over the management of the Taoist temple.

He is a Taoist priest we have never seen before, named Taoist Master Qingzhao."

"Taoist Priest Qingzhao?" Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, "You continue."

The women outside the hospital still didn't show their figures, but their ears were pricked up at this time.

"That Taoist priest has a bad temper. He no longer helps people treat their illnesses. He often asks for sacrifices from the village, and we are not allowed to go up the mountain at will." Aunt Li said tremblingly. "Occasionally, there are hunters in the village chasing their prey into Laofeng Mountain. I met him.

Later, he broke their legs and threw them back to the town."

Lu Zheng frowned, "You haven't reported to the official?"

"Laofeng Mountain belongs to Taoist temples, and the government has no control over Taoist temples." Aunt Li said in surprise, "What did we report to the officials?"

Lu Zheng was speechless for a moment, so he could only ask, "Then why did Miss Yang go to the mountains again?"

"The little sister said that a friend of hers went into the mountain accidentally. She was worried about being discovered by Taoist Master Qingzhao, so she went into the mountain to find someone." Aunt Li sighed and said in embarrassment, "She went up the mountain the day before yesterday. I advised her

I couldn't help her, and I didn't dare to tell her grandma.

What if Taoist Master Qingzhao discovers this and breaks both her and her friend's legs?"

Lu Zheng laughed when he heard this, "So you just want to see if I have some guards. I can go up the mountain and bring Yang Xiaomei down. If I encounter Taoist Priest Qingzhao, I won't be unable to fight back?"

"Exactly." Aunt Li nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with expectation.

Lu Zheng smiled slightly, raised his eyes and asked, "In the Taoist temple in the mountain, besides the old Taoist priests, were there any young Taoist priests in the past?"

Aunt Li was stunned when she heard this and looked at Lu Zheng curiously, "How do you know this, Master? The old Taoist priest brought two children up the mountain in the village, but Taoist Master Qingzhao said that they went down the mountain in sadness because of the old Taoist priest's death.

Wandering in the clouds."

After breaking the news, Lu Zheng said clearly, "That Taoist temple is called Feishan Temple."

Aunt Li was even more surprised, "Master, how come you...know everything?"

Lu Zheng nodded and stood up, "I'll go to the mountains to find Miss Yang. This bowl of water is still hot. Drink it while it's hot."

When Aunt Li turned around, she saw steam rising from the bowl of water that Lu Zheng had just put on the table.

"Hey? Why is it still getting hot?"

Aunt Li said in surprise, and when she turned around, she found that Mr. Lan Shan, who was sitting next to her just now, had disappeared.

"Alien... alien?"

Aunt Li's eyes shrank, and the surprise flashed across her eyes, "My little sister actually knows a stranger, then she must be fine!"

After saying something, he immediately reacted, picked up the bowl on the table, took a sip while it was hot, warmed himself up, and hurriedly blocked the cold wind with his sleeves, and hurried back to the house, "Mother-in-law, get up and take a warm sip."

Water?"

…

On the other side, Lu Zheng disappeared and took a few women with him. With a wave of his hand, he jumped into the air and flew into the mountains in the direction directed by Aunt Li just now.

In just a moment, they saw a Taoist temple with green bricks and black tiles, hidden among the woods and rock walls, on a relatively high mountainside four hills away from the mountain village.

Note, it is quite difficult to find.

With sharp eyes, Lu Zheng saw a small figure hiding behind a relatively high rock behind the Taoist temple.

It was the middle of winter, and the cold wind was howling on the mountain. The small figure huddled between a few rocks to protect it from the wind. It was wrapped in a torn cotton coat, and there were hay sprouting from the gaps. Occasionally, there were a few

The strands of hair were blown up by the cold wind, which looked very pitiful.

However, the figure's face was full of seriousness, and his body did not tremble at all. From time to time, he would look at the Taoist temple below, and he was holding a short-handled medicinal hoe for collecting medicinal herbs in his hand.

Seeing that there was still no movement in the Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain, Yang Xiaomei's face showed a hint of anxiety, then she gritted her teeth and tried to calm down, and then her stomach growled.

Yang Xiaomei curled her lips, took out a piece of pancake that looked black and green from her arms, put it into her mouth, bit off a piece with a "crack" sound, and slowly melted it with her saliva.

But the next moment, Yang Xiaomei couldn't help sniffing her nose and smelled the aroma of meat.

Subconsciously, she turned around and saw a steaming roasted chicken leg hanging next to her. A white, creamy hand held the chicken leg and moved it closer to her.
