Chapter 216 The Nameless Taoist Temple, the Rain from the Sky
“Master, I think we may not be able to reach the next town where we will stay today.”
Lu Qing and the others did not know that there was a demon behind them who had turned the whole Jeju upside down and was chasing them.
At this time, they were looking at the gloomy clouds above their heads, feeling a little worried.
At first glance, the sky looked like it was about to rain heavily, but at this moment, they were outside the wilderness, still dozens of miles away from the next town, and they were afraid they might not be able to get there.
"Since you can't make it in time, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain first. I remember that there used to be a semi-abandoned Taoist temple nearby. I don't know if it can still be inhabited now."
The old doctor looked at the heavy black clouds in the sky and knew that if he didn't find a place to take shelter from the rain, it would be too late.
They were lucky. There was a carriage to protect them from the rain, so they didn’t have to worry too much about getting wet.
But I am afraid that the rain will be too heavy and the carriage will get stuck in the mud, which will be troublesome.
Under the guidance of the old doctor, Magu drove to find the abandoned Taoist temple.
After checking inside and outside, I found that although the Taoist temple was a bit dilapidated, the roofs had collapsed in many places, allowing light to shine through.
But fortunately, the main hall is still quite intact and can protect it from wind and rain.
There is not even a plaque in front of it, so they don’t know what kind of Taoist temple this is.
"Okay, let's stay here tonight. I think the rain will not be light, and we will set off again tomorrow."
The old doctor looked around for a while and then decided.
Lu Qing and others naturally have no objection.
They are all very human beings. They just stay overnight in the wild. Apart from being inconvenient, they will not have any big impact at all.
Even Xiaoyan is very brave now and doesn't feel scared at all.
"Master, I will go outside to find some firewood and come back so that I can make a fire for cooking later."
Seeing Ma Gu taking care of the carriage, Lu Qing said.
"Well, go ahead." The old doctor nodded.
As for Wei Zian, even if he wanted to go out to help, Lu Qing and the others would not rest assured.
Not long after, Lu Qing came back with a pile of firewood.
As soon as he raised the fire, the dark clouds that had been brewing for a long time finally began to rain.
At first, there were sparse raindrops, but soon it turned into a heavy downpour. The sound was so powerful that Lu Qing and the others were startled.
"Fortunately, Master, you know that there is a Taoist temple here, otherwise, if we were still on the road, we would have really turned into drowned rats."
Lu Qing looked at the heavy rain curtain outside, which almost made it difficult to see the scenery ten meters away, and said a little thankfully.
Ma Gu and Wei Zian also nodded.
Although the carriage they were riding in was specially made by the Wei family and could protect them from wind and rain, it was difficult to guarantee that it would be able to withstand such heavy rain.
As for Xiaoli, he even shrank a little deeper into Xiaoyan's arms.
It hates rain the most.
"This rain is indeed a bit heavy. It is the heaviest rain I have seen in these years. As for this Taoist temple, I used to have some friendship with the temple owner here. Later, after he passed away, no one took care of the temple, and it gradually became deserted."
The old doctor looked at the pouring rain outside and sighed, with a sigh in his tone.
Lu Qing's heart moved slightly when he heard this.
Speaking of which, he knew very little about his master’s past, and his master rarely mentioned it.
This time it was rare for Master to mention something from the past.
"Master, does this temple master have no disciples?" Lu Qing asked.
"No." The old doctor shook his head, "He is alone and has no disciples."
"Then what is the martial arts training of this temple master? Is it very powerful?" Wei Zian also became a little curious.
The old doctor smiled: "This friend of mine only knows some qi-nurturing skills for cultivating the mind and character. He has not made any achievements in martial arts. However, he has a noble character, which I have always admired."
Wei Zian and Ma Gu were immediately in awe.
In their opinion, the old doctor's noble medical ethics is one of the few people in the world who can be admired by everyone. It is obvious that he must be a very respectable person.
Only Lu Qing felt a little doubtful about the master's words.
He knew that he could only believe half of what his master said about martial arts.
His old man also always said that he has poor qualifications and is not good at fighting.
As a result, it is true that he is not good at fighting, but his aptitude is extremely good.
Otherwise, how could we create Yangshengquan and understand the artistic conceptions of the harmony of water and fire and the innate realm.
Hence why he said that the temple master had not made any achievements in martial arts, which was probably a modest statement.
How can a person survive in this remote Taoist temple and be an ordinary person?
It is a pity that that person has passed away and I could not meet him.
A few people were chatting, and Lu Qing, who was quick with his hands and feet, cooked up a pot of meat porridge and shared it with everyone.
As for Xiaoli, he doesn’t like to drink porridge, so he eats a big bowl of dried fish.
For this trip, the Wei family naturally prepared a lot of supplies.
But Lu Qing's preparations were even more exaggerated. After all, he had a spiritual weapon like the Qiankun Qi Bag.
Not to mention anything else, he put in dozens of kilograms of dried fish that Xiaoli ate.
This is because he did not have enough preparation time and could not buy so many fish at the same time. Otherwise, he would have prepared more than a hundred or ten kilograms.
Of course, Lu Qing will not use the contents of Qiankun Yiqi bag unless necessary.
In the past few days, their supplies have been consumed by what they brought on the carriage and what they replenished from the towns on the road.
In this cool rainy day, everyone felt a sense of comfort after taking a few mouthfuls of hot porridge.
"Brother Lu Qing, your craftsmanship is really amazing. You can make this simple bacon porridge so delicious."
After Ma Gu drank a large bowl of porridge, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Wei Zian, who was also drunk at the side, nodded in agreement.
"It's not that exaggerated. It's just that I put some homemade seasonings in these bacon, which makes it taste a little special for you." Lu Qing said with a smile.
It is naturally not advisable to carry fresh meat when you go out.
So Lu Qing brought all the bacon stored at home this time.
These bacons were dried and smoked by him in the past two years without having anything to do. Unexpectedly, he would use them this time when he went out.
Lu Qing and the others were drinking hot porridge comfortably in the Taoist temple, but the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.
At the back, it was like a hole in the sky, and the rain poured down directly, getting more and more fierce.
Looking at the pillar-like water flowing from the eaves outside, Lu Qing and the others were a little frightened.
I am afraid that the roof of the hall will collapse if it cannot hold up.
Or maybe the water from outside pours in.
Happily, although the main hall is a bit old, the quality is indeed very good, and the location on which it was built is very good and at a high level.
So until the rain subsided a little later, the building did not collapse in the end, and the water did not pour in, which made Lu Qing and the others relieved.
But the old doctor was still a little worried: "This rain is a little too unusual."
Lu Qing's heart moved slightly.
This was the first rain after the sudden change in the day and the earth. Does such a fierce rain foreshadow anything?
The old doctor had obviously thought about this problem. After he and Lu Qing looked at each other, the worry in his eyes became even heavier.
There was a silence in the main hall.
However, the silence did not last long.
Just as Lu Qing was thinking about the omen of this heavy rain, his expression suddenly changed.
At the same time, Xiao Li's ears also perked up.
After a few breaths, the old doctor also raised his head.
Only Ma Gu and Wei Zian were unaware of anything.
But not long after, they also heard a noise coming from outside.
