Chapter 3: Master
"Old…"
At the entrance of the Longevity Temple, the old man could not stop shaking after seeing Ye Bei.
His appearance that had always been extremely calm collapsed at this moment, his voice was a little hoarse.
"Go in and talk!" Ye Bei interrupted directly, he did not talk much, but these simple four words carried an aura that could not be rejected.
Nearby, after those special police officers heard the four words from Ye Bei, they only felt a sudden chill.
Since the Kunlun Mountain's Old Immortal became famous, no one had ever dared to speak to him in this tone.
At the entrance of the temple, the tourists were even angrier.
"Boy, are you looking for death?" Someone barked.
"You actually dare to disturb the Old Immortal; don't you want to live anymore?"
"How can you talk to the Old Immortal this way? You should immediately kneel down and apologize, and then scram." Some people stared at Ye Bei with angry eyes and cursed fiercely.
"Who do you think you are? You feel awesome just because you're handsome?" Some people gritted their teeth, wishing to rush up and tear Ye Bei to pieces.
At this moment, Young Master Wu disdained Ye Bei even more, at the same time, he calmly spoke to the two friends next to him, "Don't look at this Old Immortal's very approachable aura, last time, someone dared to talk to him like this was thrown into a mental hospital by those special police officers."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, the higher position you are in, the more taboos you will have. Think about it, if you are an immortal, then a little punk provokes you… if you don't kill him, it counts as giving him a gift, right?"
"Sure, if I were an immortal, whoever dared to raise his head and talk to me like that, I would never let him go!"
The two young men nodded seriously in a deep agreement.
However, just when those special police officers and countless tourists were preparing to take action on Ye Bei, the old man's complexion gradually turned cold, "Shut up all! Who dares continue to be disrespectful, never come to Kunlun Mountain again!"
The sound was not loud but strong and powerful.
And when these words fell, the entire Taoist temple was suddenly silent.
Some people who could not understand Ye Bei felt that he was definitely going to be unlucky today. Those special police officers did not dare to look at the Old Immortal at all, for fear that he would blame them for their negligence and punish them together. At the same time, they looked at Ye Bei with a fierce face, thinking that they must find a chance to teach him a lesson.
When everyone was thinking carefully, the movement of the Old Immortal made countless people speechless.
They saw him turn to Ye Bei, bent over slightly, and Ye Bei in the front entered the Longevity Temple without anyone else.
When his body submerged in the Longevity Temple, the Old Immortal stretched out his trembling hands and slowly closed the door.
"This…"
Outside the door, Young Master Wu was spitting wildly at the two companions, saying how terrible the Old Immortal was, but now, he was completely stunned on the spot, like being struck by lightning, he could not let out a word for a long time.
"What happened?" Someone looked dumbfounded.
"The Old Immortal actually met that person alone?" Some people murmured with eyes wide.
"Who took the photo just now? This is a big matter, if I'm correct, this is the first time the Old Immortal sees a person alone this year, that kid will definitely rise to an unimaginable height in the future, there will be another big man again!"
Some people yelled after reacting, there was also a mixture of jealousy and regret in their eyes.
As for the special police officers standing at the door, they looked at each other grimly.
"Block this place immediately!"
"No one is allowed to make noise, besides, please leave!"
It took a long time for these special police officers to come back to their senses, they put their rifles on their chests and blocked the door, their faces were cold and aggressive. Near that, the tourists who had risen in the uproar slowly calmed down.
But no one left the place yet, they were waiting, they felt that after Ye Bei entered, he would definitely come out.
They thought that if Ye Bei was so disrespectful just now, maybe there would be no good thing going in.
…
Inside the temple.
When Ye Bei visited the Kunlun Mountain in the past, he built this place causally. After coming here again today, Ye Bei's first feeling was that he was familiar with it…
Yes, very familiar, but in that familiarity, there was also much strangeness.
In the yard, that little peach tree was already old, the trunk was full of black sticky things, some thick branches were supported by iron frames, but even so, there was a feeling that they would crumble down at any moment.
The walls of the buildings were eroded by cracks, and the iron nails on them were even rustier.
Also, buried in the yard was a tombstone, it seemed that an image of a big yellow dog manifested and came back again, wagging its tail, sticking out his tongue, and spinning around Ye Bei's side.
Ye Bei looked at all this quietly, but there was no emotion in his eyes.
Thump!
At this moment, the Old Immortal of Kunlun Mountain's demeanor completely disappeared from his body and replaced with the appearance of a normal rickety old man.
After he entered the courtyard, he walked to Ye Bei and knelt on the ground with a thump of his legs.
"Master!" The voice was hoarse; his old tears were running down.
Ye Bei focused his attention on this old man in silence.
Upon seeing this, the old man who was kneeling on the ground continued intermittently, "Master, it's my fault, I did not take good care of Ah Huang, about ten years after you left, he died, he was catching a pheasant in the mountain and was killed by a wolf, I retrieved his body and buried it in the courtyard, every year, he would be covered with new soil."
"Master, I did not take care of the peach tree properly, since last year, it has not been able to bloom, this year, I invited the best botanist, they said that the peach tree can only live two more years."
"Master, I have maintained the outlook of Longevity Temple every year, everything here is the way you arranged it at the beginning, it hasn't changed at all. It's just that the years have been too long and many things have gradually lost their effect."
The voice of the old man kept on.
Ye Bei stood in the courtyard and listened quietly.
After a long time, he said slightly, "I know."
The tone was very quiet and cold, hardly any emotions were revealed.
However, the man who was kneeling on the ground was overwhelmed after hearing it, and he was overjoyed.
Ye Bei did not speak much, nor did he explained how to deal with it.
However, the old man understood it very well that Ye Bei did not care about those things.
He quickly got up from the ground, "Master, I will make tea for you. Also, I will inform others of your return immediately… let them come and see you." After speaking, he walked towards the house.
If the scene happening here was seen by the people outside, they would definitely be shocked till their jaws dropped to the ground.
