Peace of Mind
Ning Ruirui looked back at the old Taoist priest and couldn't help but stop.
"Ah, old Taoist priest, do you know Anxin Temple?" Shi Chun was happy. Finally, he didn't have to look around aimlessly.
The old Taoist priest laughed and said kindly, "Of course I know. I have been close friends with Taoist Master Qiu, the master of Anxin Temple, for many years. I came here as a guest at his invitation."
"Excuse me, who is this old Taoist priest?" Ning Ruirui looked at the old Taoist priest and couldn't help but ask about his identity.

The old Taoist priest put his whisk back into his wrist, smiled and shouted "Wulian Tianzun", then said: "I am Gu Qingyan, the abbot of Qingniu Palace in Laoshan. You can call me Gu Laodao. This is my youngest disciple, Xiaochan. Come, come, come, meet the two female Bodhisattvas."
The young Taoist priest had a shy expression on his face and hid behind the old Taoist priest. He only dared to glance at Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun from time to time.
"Hey, the little Taoist looks cute. How old is he?" Shi Chun took two steps forward, wanting to tease the child, but as soon as he approached the little Taoist suddenly bared his teeth and made a face at Shi Chun.
"Haha, young lady, you might have scared him." Taoist Gu hugged the little Taoist priest in his arms and explained with a smile, "He has been in the Taoist temple since he was born. He has never been out and has never seen a stranger. So he is very timid. Please forgive me, both of you."

"It's okay, it's okay. I was a little abrupt." Shi Chun stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly.
Taoist Gu asked politely, "What are your names, young ladies?"
"My name is Ning Ruirui, and this is my sister Shi Chun." Ning Ruirui then introduced herself and Shi Chun.

"It turned out to be Miss Ning and Miss Shi." Gu Laodao walked forward slowly, standing half a step ahead of Ning Ruirui, and said, "Two girls, follow me and go to Anxin Temple together."
Ning Ruirui smiled and said, "We are grateful to the old Taoist priest for leading the way."
"You're welcome." Taoist Gu nodded slightly and asked casually, "Why do the two girls want to go to Anxin Temple?"

"I was entrusted by someone to deliver something to Anxin Temple." Ning Ruirui answered vaguely.
Although Master Gu showed a bit of doubt on his face, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, this was someone else's business. He just smiled and said, "Anxin Temple was quite famous sixty or seventy years ago, but it declined after some changes. Only those of us who practice Taoism still remember it. Ordinary people have long forgotten it, so you may not get any results by asking the villagers."
"That's a bit strange." Ning Ruirui was a little confused. "If Anxin Temple is nearby, the people in the temple also need to make a living. It makes no sense for them not to interact with the nearby villagers, right?"
"Because in the eyes of the nearby villagers, it is not called Anxin Temple at all." Taoist Gu explained with a smile, "As early as thirty years ago, the local area wanted to integrate and develop the tourism industry, so all the nearby temples and Taoist temples were unified and put under the Chongyang Palace for the convenience of management. For example, Anxin Temple became the Yingxian Hall among the eighteen halls on the southern slope of Chongyang Palace. Thirty years have passed. If you say Anxin Temple, naturally no one will know it. If you say Yingxian Hall, I guarantee that someone will know it."

"So there is such a story behind it." Ning Ruirui nodded and said nonchalantly, "As expected, things change. I heard that Anxin Temple seemed to be very famous a hundred years ago."
"It's more than just famous, it's simply thunderous." Taoist Gu raised his eyelids slightly, looked forward, and said with emotion: "Back then, Anxin Temple was a holy place for people of my generation who practice Taoism. Whether it was the current Master Qiu or the former Master, they were all famous masters of Taoism. What a pity."
"Is there a Taoist priest named Ge in Anxin Temple?" Ning Ruirui couldn't help but ask.

"Ge?" Taoist Gu was stunned for a moment, with a look of hesitation on his face. "I have never heard of this. When you get to Anxin Temple, you can ask Abbot Qiu in person."
Ning Ruirui didn't think much about it. After all, Taoist Ge stayed in Anxin Temple more than a hundred years ago, and entered the secret realm under the sea not long after that. Taoist Gu in front of her was only in his seventies, so it was normal that she had never heard of him.
After walking for a while and turning a few corners, Taoist Gu suddenly raised his hand and pointed: "It's just ahead."
"Is it that rather run-down little house?" Shi Chun looked up and said with a little disappointment, "It doesn't look like the place where a master lives."

"Haha, Miss Shi, you are wrong." Taoist Gu smiled faintly and explained, "A master in the cultivation of Taoism would not care about housing, food, clothing and shelter. If he really lived in a tall building, how could he practice cultivation?"
Shi Chun disagreed with Gu Laodao's point of view: "For a true master, it doesn't matter where he lives."
"I didn't expect that Miss Shi is so intelligent. It's me, the old Taoist, who was obsessed." Taoist Gu looked at Shi Chun in surprise and said with praise.
After turning a small hill, the four people saw a dilapidated courtyard gate.
✨ *Your reading journey starts here!* **wtr-lab.com**
The gate looked to be only two meters high, and most of the wall had collapsed. The damaged parts were barely repaired with tree stumps and bamboo branches. However, the plaque on the gate was new, with three large characters "Yingxian Hall" inscribed on it.
"Those people replaced the plaque with a new one, why didn't they also repair the house wall or something?" Shi Chun asked in some confusion.
Taoist Gu was quite experienced in this matter. He smiled and said, "It costs money to repair the walls and houses. Besides, except for the Chongyang Palace, which is a popular place for worshippers, the rest of the Taoist temples should be kept in this state, which will make tourists believe that they are the residences of hermits."
"Okay." Shi Chun curled his lips, feeling very disapproving.

Ning Ruirui touched Shi Chun's head and said with a smile: "Let's go in and finish the matter. I'll take you to a lively place to play, okay."
"I don't care." Shi Chun likes lively places by nature and has no interest in such deserted places, but she is also a considerate girl and will not get angry because of it.
"Is Brother Qiu here? I, Old Gu, am here to bother you again!" Old Taoist Gu laughed out loud while still outside the courtyard gate. His voice was so powerful that it could be heard clearly not only in the courtyard but also by people a mile or two away.
"He is indeed a cultivator." Ning Ruirui nodded secretly, but she also knew that this Taoist Gu might not have a very high level of cultivation.

Soon, a clear and crisp voice echoed in the yard, and then a Taoist nun of about sixteen or seventeen years old ran out in a hurry: "It turns out that Grandpa Gu is here, Master and Grandmaster have been waiting for you!"
"Oh, it's Nianxin." Taoist Gu couldn't help but laugh at the little nun. "Thank you for coming to greet us again. I guess we'll have to trouble you to cook for us again in the next few days."

"No way, I'm so happy that Grandpa Gu and Xiaochan are here." Nianxin held the arm of Taoist Gu with one hand and held the hand of the young Taoist priest with the other. When she turned around, she saw Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun and exclaimed, "Oh, there are two more distinguished guests. I'm sorry, I didn't see them just now. I'm so rude."
"It's okay, it's okay." Ning Ruirui saw the little nun was about to bow and apologize to them, and quickly waved her hand: "We are not distinguished guests, we just came to see your master about something."
"You two sisters are here to see my master. Okay, please come in first." The young Taoist nun Nianxin carefully led the old Taoist Gu and the young Taoist priest into the main hall, arranged a comfortable bamboo chair for him, and greeted Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun swiftly.
"I'm sorry, Master just went out." The little Taoist nun Nianxin served hot tea to the three adults and brought a bottle of drink to the little Taoist priest. She said apologetically, "Master is not feeling well and just fell asleep. I went to wake him up."

"Hey, don't call him yet. Since the old man is asleep, we just have to wait." Ning Ruirui often took care of her grandfather when she was at home, so she knew that the old man seldom fell asleep. If he was woken up, he would probably be listless for the rest of the day.
The young Taoist nun Nianxin hesitated for a moment and looked at the old Taoist Gu, hoping that he could help her make a decision.
"Just listen to what the two girls say." Gu Laodao smiled and drank his tea. "Nianxin, don't be busy anymore. Just sit down and talk to me, Grandpa Gu, for a while."
"Okay." The little Taoist nun Nianxin immediately moved a small stool and sat beside her.

Taoist Gu asked casually, "Where is your master?"
"In the morning, Master was practicing in the backyard, but then someone from Chongyang Palace called him and said they had something important to discuss with him." The little nun Nianxin replied, "Master went out without even eating, so he might be back soon."
"The Chongyang Palace." Taoist Gu shook his head, "It's probably about..." At this point, Taoist Gu suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun, then changed the subject, "It doesn't matter, then we'll just wait."
Ning Ruirui clearly felt that this Taoist Gu seemed to be inexplicably wary of her and Shi Chun, but she didn't know where it came from.

"I haven't asked the names of the two distinguished guests yet?" The little Taoist nun Nian Xin said to Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun at this time.
Shi Chun answered at this time: "My name is Shi Chun, and this is my sister Ning Ruirui. We have something we want to discuss with your master."
"Ning Ruirui? Are you Ning Ruirui?" The little Taoist nun Nian Xin looked at Ning Ruirui in surprise, her eyes wide open.

"Do you know me?" Ning Ruirui was also a little surprised.
"Ah, I don't know you." The little nun Nian Xin hurriedly shook her head, but still explained: "Before my master left, he told me that a lady named Ning Ruirui would come over in the next two days, and asked me to greet her well. But I didn't expect that you are Miss Ning Ruirui, and you are so beautiful."

Ning Ruirui automatically ignored those meaningless words, and directly grasped the key point, asking doubtfully: "How did your master know that I was coming?"
You have to know that theoretically only Ning Ruirui, Xia Tian, and the women around Xia Tian should have known about the fact that she went to Anxin Temple, and there was no possibility of it being leaked in advance. So how did the master of Anxin Temple know about it?
