Acai's Sky

Chapter 859 The Little Nun Going Down the Mountain 1

The top of Xu Ming Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the ancient and solemn Xu Ming Temple is hidden among the green pines and cypresses.

The early morning sunlight shines through the mist and falls on the stone steps in front of the temple, casting dots of golden light, as if adding a touch of mystery to this quiet Taoist temple.

The mountain breeze blows gently, bringing waves of pine waves, like a whisper between heaven and earth, telling the vicissitudes and tranquility of thousands of years.

"Wake up, why isn't this little girl awake yet?"

A middle-aged old man was calling out anxiously, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of worry, as if his heart was hanging in mid-air.

"Don't panic, go and ask the abbot, Taoist Fusheng."

Another mountain villager responded quickly, his tone full of nervousness, and ran hurriedly towards the depths of the Taoist temple.

His figure moved quickly on the stone steps, like a gust of wind, with an anxious mood.

Upon hearing the news, Taoist Fusheng, holding a whisk, quickly walked out of the Taoist temple with his junior brother Taoist Fuyun.

A panicked believer came towards him. He pointed at a little girl on the ground and said anxiously, "Master, please take a look at this child. She fainted at the door of our Taoist temple for some reason." The believer's face was covered with sweat, and it was obvious that he had run all the way here.

Weng thought for a moment and said, "This little fox must have brought it up from the foot of the mountain. I seemed to have seen a shadow just now."

Taoist Fusheng looked closely and saw a girl of about five or six lying quietly there. Beside her was a strange-looking puppy that looked like a mix of a dog and a fox. Its eyes gleamed with vigilance, as if guarding her. The puppy's fur shone golden in the sunlight, making it look particularly mysterious.

"Wulian Tianzun, today I observed the celestial phenomena and knew that a lucky star had descended upon the world. I never thought that this lucky star would be sent so directly to our Taoist temple."

Taoist Fusheng stroked his long beard, a hint of joy in his eyes, as if he saw the arrangement of heaven. His gaze was deep, as if he could see through everything in the world.

"Brother, don't worry about this for now. Hurry and move the little girl into the side room and let Senior Sister Fuxia examine her to see if she's seriously injured."

Taoist Fuyun interrupted, his expression serious and his voice filled with undeniable determination. He held a coil of silver needles tightly in his hand, clearly ready.

Taoist Fuyun quickly called over a few little Taoist boys, carefully carried the girl into the side room, and gently placed her on the bed.

Afterwards, he quickly walked to the side hall, ready to ask Senior Sister Fuxia to treat the child together, praying in his heart that the child would be safe.

Inside the wing, sunlight shone through the window lattice onto the girl's face, making her look particularly peaceful.

The spirit beast that looked like a puppy was none other than the Di Tu Tapir—the Golden Raccoon Dog. It was extremely anxious, and its mind kept calling out, "Master, wake up quickly! What's wrong with you? Why aren't you awake yet?"

At the same time, System 00541, which was trapped in Acai's sea of ​​consciousness, was also extremely anxious. It kept shouting, "Host, host, wake up!"

Its sound was like an urgent drumbeat, urging Ah Cai to wake up. Its code quickly flowed through Ah Cai's mind, trying to awaken her consciousness.

It turned out that they encountered space-time turbulence when traveling through time and space. After finally squeezing into the nearest plane, the host fainted as soon as he came in, as if he was gently pushed by the hand of fate and thrown into an unknown abyss.

...

Ah Cai closed her eyes tightly, concentrating her mind, and was receiving the memories of the little girl.

Clip 1: In the prosperous capital, there is a magnificent mansion with gorgeous decorations, showing the atmosphere of wealth.

In the center of the hall sat a kind and amiable old lady, dressed in gorgeous clothes. On her left and right stood a group of men and women in luxurious clothes. They were either whispering to each other or standing with their heads bowed respectfully, as if waiting for something.

Among this group of people, there were a dozen boys and girls dressed in exquisite clothes. They were either looking around curiously or hiding timidly behind adults.

Clip 2: A woman who looked like a nanny came over and took the original owner out of the house, saying that they wanted to go outside to watch the fun.

The original owner followed the nanny excitedly, looking left and right, full of curiosity about everything around him, like a bird just out of a cage, looking at the vast sky.

However, the nanny was so busy chatting with the people around her that she didn't notice the original owner at all.

At this moment, a handkerchief suddenly covered the original owner's mouth and nose, and a pungent smell hit his face. The original owner's eyes turned black in an instant, and he fainted, as if he was pulled into the abyss by an invisible hand.

Clip 3: When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a dim room, surrounded by many boys and girls like her.

They were all tied up like pigs, with dirty cloths stuffed into their mouths, making it impossible for them to make any sound. They felt as if they were imprisoned in endless darkness.

The original owner watched all this in horror, his heart filled with fear and helplessness.

She didn't know why she was here, nor did she know what these people were going to do to them. She was like a helpless lamb, facing an unknown fate that was about to happen.

Just then, there was a noisy sound outside the house, as if someone was chasing the kidnappers.

The original owner and the other children were trembling with fear. They struggled desperately to escape from this horrible place, like trapped wild beasts longing for freedom.

Clip 4: In a panic, the original owner took the opportunity to break free from the restraints and ran desperately. However, while escaping, she accidentally fell into the icy river.

The river was rushing, and the original owner struggled desperately in the water, but was eventually washed away by the current, like a fallen leaf, drifting with the current, unable to control his own destiny.

After an unknown amount of time, the original owner was finally washed ashore. She was soaking wet and extremely weak, but her desire to survive forced her to climb up.

She looked around and found a carriage not far away, so she crawled under the carriage without hesitation, like a wounded little animal looking for the last shelter.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the original owner was brought to Xu Ming Mountain in a daze.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, the original owner took advantage of no one's attention and quietly crawled out from under the car, like a bird that had regained its freedom, spreading its wings and ready to fly.

However, after many twists and turns, the original owner ultimately couldn't escape fate's cruel twists. She caught a cold and collapsed in the wind and rain. At only a few years old, even with her strongest will to survive, she couldn't resist the attack of the disease, and eventually died, like a shooting star, streaking across the night sky, gone in a flash.

...

Acai took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes.

In Xu Ming Temple, Taoist Fusheng, Taoist Fuyun and Taoist Fuxia had been waiting for a long time, ready to open a new chapter for her, like an ancient scroll, slowly unfolding, waiting for a new stroke.

Taoist Fusheng smiled slightly and gently waved the whisk in his hand, as if to brush away the haze in Acai's heart.

"My friend, now that you are here, make the most of it. Although Xu Ming Guan is small, it is a place for cultivating the mind and nurturing the character. If you are willing, you can practice here and explore the great way." His voice was gentle, like a warm current, soothing A Cai.

A Cai frowned. The original owner she possessed had some memory loss. Could he be a fool?
