Chapter 290 Letters
Liu Yi Yang and Li Daniu walked up the mountain one after another.
Along the way, you can see people carrying large and small bags.
When the people saw Captain Li, they greeted him enthusiastically, and Captain Li also responded enthusiastically.
When we arrived at the Taoist temple, we saw the old plaque with the words "Qingyun Temple" written on it.
Liu Yi Yang asked: This Taoist temple is quite old, right?
Captain Li smiled and said, "Yes, this Taoist temple has a history of more than a hundred years. They witnessed the decline of the Qing Dynasty. Local villagers would come here to burn incense and pray during festivals."
As soon as he finished speaking, two little Taoist priests came out carrying porridge.
When the people saw the little Taoist priest carrying out the porridge, they immediately rushed forward to grab it as if they were injected with chicken blood.
A child of seven or eight years old was not as strong as an adult. He was originally running in the front, but was pushed to the back by the adults.
When all the porridge was snatched away, the child could only hold his broken bowl and watch the adults eat the porridge while he kept swallowing his saliva.
Liu Yi Yang saw everything, and with a thought, a box of biscuits appeared in Liu Yi Yang's hand.
He handed a box of biscuits to the child, who took the biscuits, said thank you, then quickly ran to the side and started to gobble them up.
Captain Li came to Liu Yiyang and said: This child's name is Huzi. His parents died at the hands of the Japanese in order to cover Huzi's escape.
The young Taoist priest, who had packed up the porridge bowl, ran to Liu Yiyang and said, "My grandfather told me that a distinguished guest will be visiting today, and he asked me to invite you into the inner hall."
Liu Yi Yang was very puzzled; Little Taoist boy, are you talking to me?
The young Taoist nodded; Yes, my grandfather told me this morning that there would be distinguished guests today, and asked me to immediately invite anyone who was dressed differently from everyone else to the inner hall for a chat.
Having said that, without waiting for Liu Yi Yang to speak, the young Taoist priest took Liu Yi Yang's hand and walked towards the inner hall.
Captain Li was left disheveled in the wind; Dear guest, I am also a captain after all, am I not also a distinguished guest?
He looked at Liu Yiyang's face and figure which resembled Pan An, and then looked at himself, a peasant who could hardly recognize a few big words.
Okay, I admit that I am not a distinguished guest.
When we came to the inner hall, the statues of the Three Pure Ones were so majestic and domineering that they made people shudder.
The so-called Sanqing is the temple of the Three Pure Ones, the highest deities in Taoism, so every Taoist temple must worship them. The Sanqing Temple enshrines "Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun, also known as Taishang Laojun."
In the center of the hall, an old Taoist priest was meditating with his eyes closed. Hearing footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes.
The old Taoist priest was named Zhang Chenggong. He was an official during the Qing Dynasty. Unable to stand the incompetence and corruption of the Qing Dynasty, he resigned from his official position and became a monk to devote himself to Taoism.
Dear guest, I have waited for decades and finally you have come.
The old Taoist priest spoke slowly.
Liu Yiyang was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Old Taoist, you said you have been waiting for me for decades. Did you predict that I would come today? Who are you?"
Liu Yi Yang would definitely not believe those people who could predict the future. After all, this was too mysterious. The only thing that could be related to it was the system. Could it be that this old Taoist had some intricate relationship with the system?
The old Taoist slowly stood up and walked unsteadily to Liu Yiyang.
Dear guest, before my master passed away, he told me that a distinguished guest would visit us today and asked me to wait for him again.
Your master? Who is he?
Liu Yi Yang continued to ask.
My master's name is Tianjizi. I became his disciple when I became a monk. Now I am waiting for the distinguished guest. As his disciple, I can finally fulfill the last wish left by my master.
The old Taoist priest took out a brocade box from under the table and handed it to Liu Yiyang.
My master told me that as soon as I met you, I should give this thing to you.
Liu Yiyang took the brocade box and looked around.
The brocade box is an old item with a sense of age, and the opening is sealed with sealing wax.
Liu Yi Yang looked at the old Taoist: Can I open it now?
The old Taoist nodded; now the box belongs to you and you can open it at any time.
Liu Yiyang couldn't wait to open the brocade box, and there was only a letter inside.
I opened the letter and saw a passage written on it.
Fellow Daoist, I observed the sky a few days ago and predicted that you would appear today. I also predicted that you are not an ordinary person. When you receive this letter, I will no longer be in this world. With the guidance of the heavens, please go to Hiroshima on August 6, 1935. There is an opportunity for you to return. The above is the result of my observation of the sky at night. Please consider it.
Liu Yi Yang turned to the back of the letter and saw the same message written on the back.
Daoist friend, I guessed right, you should be a curious person, and the words behind this are what I want to say to you. There is still some time before you leave, and I have said before that you are not an ordinary person. I hope to use your ability to protect the safety of the people and keep them away from the war.
After reading the letter, Liu Yi Yang couldn't calm down for a long time.
Is there really someone in the world who can predict the future? He even knows how I can return to the future. Is he really unrelated to the system? Or is there a plan in the dark?
Seeing that Liu Yi Yang was lost in thought, the old Taoist didn't want to disturb him. He tiptoed out of the inner hall and closed the door gently.
When Liu Yiyang came to his senses, he was the only one left in the inner hall.
Liu Yiyang lit a stick of incense to the Three Pure Ones, then bowed again and walked out of the inner hall.
As soon as he walked out of the inner hall, the little Taoist boy who was waiting outside came forward and said respectfully, "Little Master, I will ask you to go to the guest room to rest first. I will call you again when it's time for dinner."
Liu Yi Yang smiled and said thank you.
Arriving at the guest room, Liu Yiyang put down his backpack. With a thought, a large pile of food appeared on the bed.
He found a sack, put the food into it, put the sack on his back and walked out of the Taoist temple.
After all, the old Taoist who has passed away left me such important information, so I will do my best to help and take care of the people.
When we arrived outside the Taoist temple, a group of people were sitting there bored, resting and waiting for the free dinner provided by the temple.
Liu Yi Yang put the sack on the ground and shouted: Women and children, come and line up.
At first, no one paid any attention to Liu Yi Yang. After all, they had to conserve their energy so that they could grab the porridge at night.
It was not until Liu Yiyang took food out of the sack and started eating it that those people began to take action.
Their eyes lit up and they rushed forward to grab things like wolves in the night.
Unable to withstand the large number of people, Liu Yi Yang was pushed aside.
Liu Yi Yang tried to stop them and shouted, "Stop, stop, stop. Let the women, the elderly and the children eat first."
However, no one paid any attention to him.
Liu Yi Yang had a helpless look on his face and could only let them grab things crazily. What else could he do? He couldn't just go up and beat them up.
You have to think of a way.
In less than a minute, all the items were looted. Liu Yiyang picked up the sack and returned to the guest room.
