There is a Taoist temple on the mountain.

Looking at it in the dark night, the Taoist temple is pitch black without any lights, just like a haunted house.

This place has been dilapidated for many years and has almost no human habitation.

Wu Xiaode stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Tuk-tuk-boom!

The door fell down, stirring up dust all over the floor.

Wu Xiaode froze in place.

This is embarrassing.

Is there no one here?

He took a breath and said loudly: "Hey, is anyone here?"

A light lit up deep in the Taoist temple.

I saw a white-haired old man wearing a Taoist robe, walking slowly towards him.

With a wrinkled face, he slowly came to Wu Xiaode, cupped his hands and said:

"Who?"

"Taoist Priest, you can call me Xiao Wu."

"The barren mountain has long been in ruins. It has no incense and no tradition to pass on. Why do you come here?"

Wu Xiaode thought for a while, took out the token and showed it in front of the old Taoist.

A ray of light flashed in the Taoist priest's eyes, and he cupped his hands again and said: "Please come with me."

He turned around and left.

Wu Xiaode followed immediately.

The two of them walked through the halls and went straight to the backyard.

I saw a peach tree in the backyard. Apart from the tree, the ground was covered with grass, which was half as tall. From time to time, sounds came from deep in the grass.

If Wu Xiaode had to guess, he would probably guess that the noises were from animals like snakes. The old Taoist walked to the peach tree, turned around, and said to Wu Xiaode:

"Please don't move."

"Ah?" Wu Xiaode was on guard. What do you mean, never move?

What are you going to do?

But I saw the old man hanging the lamp on the peach tree, then took out a mobile phone from his pocket, adjusted the night light mode, and pointed it at Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode hesitated and said: "What are you—"

"Taking photos - identity registration photos. In today's world, facial recognition is rampant. Big data can easily catch a person without facial data, and then the police will be alerted immediately."

The veteran pointed at him and pressed the photo button.

Wu Xiaode spread his hands and said: "But if I take a picture -"

"My barren mountain has never received electricity, nor accepted disciples, nor received incense, just for today."

"How to say?"

"Everyone in the surrounding mountains knows that the Taoist temple on the mountain looks like this. The neighborhood committee and the religious office also came to the mountain several times, asking me about the population and even registering facial information, but I ignored them all."

"Then now——"

"Since you're already here, it's time to register and obtain the legal status of a normal person."

The old man took a few pictures and showed them to Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode chose one that he thought was pretty cool and showed it to the old man.

The old man uploaded it.

Immediately afterwards, he took down a Taoist priest's uniform from the tree, handed it to Wu Xiaode and said:

"Don't dislike it. It's been washed and sunbaked all day, so it's just ready to wear."

"I don't have anything against it."

Wu Xiaode changed his clothes, then raised his hand and looked at his watch.

The watch vibrates continuously.

The pointer is still pointing to the "danger", and the "danger" continues to enlarge, and even begins to turn red.

"How do I find her?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The old Taoist leaned against the peach tree, sat cross-legged, made seals with his hands and said:

"When a vision occurs, you will naturally know it."

The skin and muscles all over his body began to atrophy.

"What's wrong with you?"

Wu Xiaode hurriedly stepped forward, preparing to take out something from the Holy Treasure Ring to heal him.

——The opponent's vitality is declining rapidly.

"There is no need to be busy, and there is no need to save me. I have completed the task assigned by Heavenly Lord, and now I must enter eternal silence to avoid leaks." said the old Taoist.

"Why is this so?" Wu Xiaode asked puzzledly.

"The Queen Mother is the lord of all immortals. She is good at regulating the universe, moving mountains and seas, supporting saints, and erecting heavenly palaces. As long as she is fine, even in the midst of hundreds of thousands of sufferings, sentient beings can still have hope."

"Compared to this matter, what is a mere life on the trail?"

After the old Taoist finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped moving.

His breathing stopped.

Wu Xiaode stood quietly, looking at this Taoist he had never met before, and suddenly sighed:

"If the era is determined again in the future, you will definitely be the first person on the list of gods."

He bowed carefully, then sat down next to the old Taoist and waited quietly.

When the other party says that a vision is coming, he will naturally know it.

But I don’t know what the vision is.

A faint fragrance comes with the wind in the dark night.

This is……

Floral.

Wu Xiaode felt something in his heart and looked up.

I saw the peach tree behind me blooming with peach blossoms, and the fragrance of flowers came from the tree.

These peach blossoms don't seem to be extraordinary, they all emit colorful lights towards the sky.

Wu Xiaode suddenly stood up and shouted: "No, it's too ostentatious!"

The words have not yet fallen.

In an instant, all the peach blossoms suddenly withered.

Something fell from the peach tree.

Wu Xiaode caught it and saw that it was a bright red peach.

Two lines of small words in ice crystals appeared quickly:

"You have obtained a century-old flat peach.,

"If you take it, you will break through the current state.

"In addition, the merits of protecting the Heavenly Lord today have been distributed in advance."

"Current merit: 1."

Wu Xiaode was speechless for a moment.

Before even meeting each other, he gave himself a flat peach and gave him merit?

The boss is awesome.

But what about the reincarnated Queen Mother of the West? Why haven’t I seen her yet?

suddenly.

An urgent voice came from far away from the door of the Taoist temple:
Chapter completed!
