Chapter 216: Nameless Taoist Temple, 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 didn't 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.
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 wouldn't 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.
Fortunately for them, there was a carriage to protect them from the rain, so they didn't have to worry too much about getting wet.
But I was afraid that it would rain too much and the carriage would get stuck in the mud, which would cause trouble.
Under the guidance of the old doctor, Magu drove and found 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 leak through.
But fortunately, the main hall is still quite intact and can protect it from wind and rain.
There wasn't even a plaque in front of it, so they didn't know what kind of Taoist temple this was.
"Okay, let's stay here tonight. I'm afraid it won't rain lightly. We can set off on our journey tomorrow."
The old doctor looked around for a while and then decided.
Lu Qing and others naturally had no objection.
They are all very human beings. They are just staying 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 still sparse raindrops, but soon it turned into a heavy downpour. The sound was so powerful that Lu Qing and the others were shocked.
"Fortunately, Master, you know that there is a Taoist temple here. Otherwise, if we were still on the road, we would really be drowned."
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 repeatedly.
Although the carriage they were riding in was specially made by the Wei family and could protect it 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. Gradually it became deserted.”
The old doctor looked at the pouring rain outside and sighed, with a sigh in his tone.
When Lu Qing heard this, his heart moved slightly.
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 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."
"So 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 Kungfu to cultivate 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 was one of the few people in the world who could be admired by everyone. It is obvious that he must be a very respectable person with his character.
Only Lu Qing felt a little doubtful about his 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 had poor qualifications and was 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.
So when he said that the temple master had not made any achievements in martial arts, he was probably speaking modestly.
How could a person survive in this remote Taoist temple and be an ordinary person?
Unfortunately, that person has passed away and I could not meet him.
A few people were chatting, and Lu Qing was quick and easy, cooking up a pot of meat porridge and sharing it with everyone.
As for Xiaoli, he didn't like porridge, so he ate 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 was because he didn't have enough preparation time and couldn't buy so many fish at the same time. Otherwise, he would have wanted to prepare more than 100 kilograms.
Of course, Lu Qing would 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.
On this somewhat cool rainy day, after a few mouthfuls of hot porridge, everyone felt comfortable.
"Brother Lu Qing, your cooking skills are really amazing. You can make this simple bacon porridge so delicious."
After drinking a large bowl of porridge, Ma Gu couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Wei Zian, who was also drinking it, nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"It's not that exaggerated. I just put some homemade seasonings in these bacon, which makes it taste a little special." Lu Qing said with a smile.
When you go out, fresh meat is naturally not suitable to bring.
So Lu Qing brought all the bacon stored at home this time.
These bacon were dried and smoked by him in the past two years. He didn't expect to use them when he went out this time.
Lu Qing and his friends drank hot porridge comfortably in the Taoist temple, but the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier.
At the end, it was like a hole in the sky, and the rain poured down directly, getting heavier and heavier.
Looking at the water flowing like a column outside the eaves, Lu Qing and the others were a little frightened.
They were afraid that the roof of the hall would collapse if it could not hold up.
Or the accumulated water outside would flow back in.
Fortunately, although the hall was a little old, the quality was indeed very good, and the terrain chosen for construction was very good and on a high ground.
So until the rain weakened a little later, it did not collapse in the end, and the accumulated water did not flow back in, which made Lu Qing and the others feel relieved.
But the old doctor was still a little worried: "This rain is a little too abnormal."
Lu Qing's heart moved slightly.
This was the first rain after the strange movement of the world that day. Does such a fierce rain indicate something?
The old doctor obviously thought of this problem. After looking at Lu Qing, the worry in his eyes became heavier.
The hall fell into silence.
However, this silence did not last long.
Just as Lu Qing was thinking about the omen of this heavy rain, his expression suddenly moved.
At the same time, Xiao Li's ears also stood up.
After a few breaths, the old doctor also raised his head.
Only Ma Gu and Wei Zian were still unaware.
But not long after, they also heard a loud noise coming from outside.
