Acai's Sky

Chapter 860 The Little Nun Going Down the Mountain 2

Acai lives alone in a room. The Xuming Temple is huge, majestic and magnificent.

This Taoist temple stands atop Xuming Mountain, shrouded in mist and clouds, resembling an ethereal fairyland. From afar, the temple appears and disappears amidst the mist, exuding an unfathomable mystical charm.

When you step into Xuming Temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the intricately designed complex of buildings. There are main halls, side halls, bell towers, drum towers, and other structures, each decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding an antique charm and a simple and elegant style.

Inside the main hall, statues of the Three Pure Ones are enshrined. Their solemnity inspires awe. Incense smoke curls upward from the incense table before them, adding a sacred atmosphere to the hall.

The side hall is where Taoists live and practice. The environment is quiet and peaceful, forming a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Here, Taoists can concentrate on their practice and pursue inner peace and tranquility.

The bell tower and drum tower stand tall on both sides of the Taoist temple. At every hour, the melodious sounds of bells and drums will slowly ring out and echo in the mountains, as if telling the vicissitudes of time and the long history of the Taoist temple.

The courtyards of Xuming Temple are filled with a variety of exotic flowers and plants, their rich fragrance intoxicating. These flowers and plants not only add vitality and vibrancy to the Taoist temple, but also make the entire Xuming Temple seem like an isolated paradise, filled with an atmosphere of mystery and tranquility.

……

A Cai sat upright on a cushion, with her hair in a Taoist bun and a small Taoist robe on, reciting the Tao Te Ching.

"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things. Therefore, always in the state of nothingness, in order to observe its wonders; always in the state of existence, in order to observe its boundaries. These two things, originating from the same source but with different names, are both called mysterious, and the more mysterious, they are the door to all wonders."

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, they treat all things as straw dogs; sages are not benevolent, they treat the people as straw dogs. Between heaven and earth, is it like a bellows? It is empty but not bent, it moves and produces more. Too much talk will lead to exhaustion, it is better to keep to the middle."

"Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. All things carry the yin and embrace the yang, and the collision of qi makes them harmonious..."

00541 flew into the house silently like a ghost, and then landed in front of Ah Cai, saying excitedly: "Host, host, I have collected all the information!"

Ah Cai was sitting leisurely in a chair, holding a copy of the Tao Te Ching. When she heard 00541's voice, she slowly put the book down and looked up, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "Oh? Tell me about it then."

00541 cleared his throat and began to report: "This place is Yunchan Continent, specifically located in Qingyun Country in Dawangzhou, Zhuoying County in Jinyang Prefecture, and Xuming Temple in Xuming Mountain."

Ah Cai frowned slightly after hearing this. "Such a large Taoist temple, but only a few Taoists and five or six children? This is really a bit unreasonable, isn't it?"

The golden raccoon dog beside him also echoed: "Yes, when I was carrying my master up the mountain a few days ago, I didn't see many people along the way, and there were very few pilgrims."

Ah Cai put his hands over his head and leaned back, collapsing on the floor like a deflated ball, mumbling, "If I had known this would happen, I should have stayed in the previous plane for a while longer. It would have been wise to wait until the Heavenly Dao expelled me before leaving."

Seeing this, 00541 asked with a hint of doubt: "Host, didn't you read the original owner's memory?"

Ah Cai rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "I did read it, but the original owner's memories were all vague fragments. She seemed like an idiot who couldn't even remember the names of her own family."

The golden raccoon dog wagged its tail and interrupted, "It's okay. Just remember the appearance. We can sort out the cause and effect later when we go to Kyoto."

00541 scratched his head with his little paw. "This temple master is quite capable. He seems to know your origins and even said that you might be able to live a more wonderful life in this Taoist temple."

Ah Cai nodded slightly, "I guess I will officially become a Taoist nun tomorrow. The Taoism here is very different from the world of immortal cultivation. I have to start from scratch."

"Tsk tsk, luckily I sealed part of my soul in time, otherwise this small body would have been shattered into pieces."

After saying that, he took out a bottle of [Top-grade Rejuvenation Pills], poured out a pill, scraped off a little powder, and swallowed it.

I feel my body is a little stronger. "I became a Taoist nun in this dimension. That's not bad. I can openly make pills and draw talismans. I can do anything with ease!"

...

"Da da…"

Hearing someone coming, Ah Cai's heart tightened, and he quickly lay down as if he had been electrocuted, closed his eyes tightly, and at the same time instantly immersed his consciousness into [Home].

From the outside, Ah Cai looked like a person who had completely lost consciousness and was in a coma.

"Brother, Junior Sister, I think this medicine isn't very effective. Several days have passed, and this young man still shows no signs of waking up again."

Nun Fuxia muttered softly while placing her fingers lightly on Acai's wrist, feeling her pulse.

Fusheng, standing nearby, stroked his long beard leisurely and said slowly, "Don't worry, Junior Sister. I think this young man will definitely wake up. Look, this Di Tu Tapir is so calm and not at all anxious. This proves that this young man is not seriously injured."

However, the Golden Raccoon cursed inwardly, "Damn, this old Taoist is truly wicked! He actually plotted against me like this!"

Although it was indignant in its heart, it did not dare to open its eyes rashly, for fear of being discovered by Taoist Fusheng. So it had to close its eyes tightly and curl up obediently beside the bed, occasionally shaking its tail a few times, as if to drive away Taoist Fusheng.

At this moment, Taoist nun Fuxia suddenly called out, "Qinglan, come here."

Following her call, a little Taoist boy came in.

Taoist nun Fuxia handed Qinglan a prescription and instructed, "Go and boil the medicine on this prescription, and then give it to this young Taoist friend."

Qinglan took the prescription respectfully, bowed, and then turned and left.

Seeing this, Fusheng smiled slightly, then pinched his fingers, muttered something, and then sent a spell directly into Acai's body.

This spell is called the [Soul-Restoring Mantra], which can help Acai stabilize his soul and keep his mind at peace even when he is in a coma.

...

After walking out of the room, Fuxia stopped, slowly turned around, and her eyes fell on the room behind her.

She stared at a corner of the room and said thoughtfully, "Brother, look at this young man. He exudes a rich aura of merit. This is a sign of the prosperity of our Qingyun Nation's Taoist family!"

Fusheng stood aside, frowning slightly, a hint of worry on his face.

He shook his head slightly and responded, "Brother, I've learned through divination that the little girl possessed by this young friend seems to have lost one of her souls, causing her to be a little foolish. I'm worried that this will have a negative impact on the young friend."

After hearing Fusheng's words, Fuxia flicked the whisk in her hand lightly, making a crisp sound.

Her voice was firm, "If that's the case, then we just need to find the lost soul. Later, we will go to the main hall together, burn incense to the ancestor, report this matter, and pray for his blessing and safety."
