Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 14: Taoist Nun



Outside the mourning hall of the cave, on the opposite roof, there was a taoist nun standing quietly at some point in time. The blue and white taoist robes fluttered in the wind under the moonlight, and the plain scarves swayed gently. She was like a fairy riding the wind.

She looked quietly into the mourning hall as if she could clearly see the appearance of the 2 people in the pit.

“Such a strong beastkin aura, I wonder how many lives have been killed here… I can’t imagine that the princes of South Li Kingdom would risk herself in such a way. Although she is reckless, her courage is commendable.” The taoist nun murmured to herself, “I shall wait and see if she can break through the trap.”

Inside the pit.

——He smelled the smoke. Of course, Li Qingjun could smell it too.

After Li Qingjun smelled it, the result was that any woman should push away the man on her body, but she didn’t. There was a little confusion in her mind. She felt uncomfortable being pressed on by him. The big hands covering a certain part even made her feel hot, but she faintly felt that this person was not annoying. She actually felt quite comfortable there…

All of a sudden, they were breathing heavily. They couldn’t see each other faces in this dark pit, but it made the atmosphere more lustful, making them subconsciously feel that they could do something here… Anyway, they had been influenced by the medicine, so they could go along with the flow?

Qin Yi bit his lower lip hard and jumped up.

Others can pretend to go with the flow, but I can’t.

I’m a taoist, an apothecary, and a professional in this.

Liu Su is also watching the fun.

Qin Yi quickly reached into his arms, took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth. Whether it was the right medicine, it at least slightly eased his drowsy thoughts and desires, then he lit up a flint and stuffed Li Qingjun with a pill.

The nun murmured to herself, “This young man is righteous and has a lot of concentration. He is a gentleman…”

“You really are a eunuch…” Liu Su, who had been watching the fun, sighed differently.

“…” Qin Yi channeled his inner force to dispel the remaining medicinal power, so he didn’t even bother complaining.

After taking the medicine, Li Qingjun also half sat up and tidied her clothes with a complicated expression. Under the reflection of the fire, her cheeks were still flushed, and her skirt was still a little disheveled, making her look even more seductive.

Qin Yi turned his head away from looking. Li Qingjun raised her head slightly and stared at him. She wanted to scold, but she didn’t know where to start.

Liu Su continued to sigh, “Reasonable women have a more tiring life. Therefore, women should have the right to be unreasonable. At this time, scolding can at least make her less embarrassed.”

Qin Yi resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and he pulled Li Qingjun up, “Are you all right?”

“Alr…” Li Qingjun squirmed her lips and said, “For those who practice martial arts, it doesn’t hurt to fall from such a height.”

Is it a problem of falling or not? Qin Yi wisely didn’t take it seriously, but he answered solemnly, “En, it’s only about 3-6 meters.”

His cooperation made Li Qingjun heave a sigh of relief. She said, “I seem to be reckless again?”

Qin Yi said, “Luckily, you are reckless, otherwise wouldn’t I be beaten up by you that day?”

Li Qingjun couldn’t help but laugh. It was because she recklessly fell into Qin Yi’s trap that day that she was hanged upside down. She felt extremely angry at the time, but now it became Qin Yi’s comforting words.

This Qin Yi is actually… not bad. He was obviously caught in a trap due to me, but instead of blaming me, he comforts me…

He seems like a real gentleman. If not, I might have lost my virginity to him a second time.

In the charming moment just now, not to mention pretending to be calm now, Li Qingjun knew that her mind was still spinning now. She could only rely on her pretended calmness and his tacit understanding of how to behave, otherwise she didn’t know whether she should slam her head against the wall to kill herself.

Both of them did not say anymore tacitly. After looking left and right, Li Qingjun shuddered suddenly. All messy thoughts were cast away by the shock.

Qin Yi also tightened his lips.

There were dense bones all around, but they were not piled up in a mess. Someone arranged them in 8 neatly spaced directions. In each direction, there was a skeleton. The bones were disassembled and placed into a table-like bracket, and the skull was placed on top of the bone bracket. They fell into the middle. When they looked around, they happened to be surrounded by 8 skulls from all directions. Their hollow and dark eyes stared fiercely, and their closed teeth seemed to be mocking.

There was reddish smoke coming out of the mouths of the skeletons. The smell still made their heart beat faster, making them afraid to look at each other.

Li Qingjun said awkwardly, “These are all the missing people right?”

“Should be.” Qin Yi whispered, “This is an array setup by someone, so our intrusion must have been discovered by the person who set this. Now is not the time to get to the bottom of it, we should leave immediately. Otherwise, this will be our grave.”

Li Qingjun looked up and saw that the pit she fell from had been closed. There seemed to be no way out around. The stone slab on the top didn’t seem to be easy to blast away either.

“How to get out?” She asked Qin Yi expectantly, “You understand this kind of array, right?”

Qin Yi listened to Liu Su’s instructions as he said, “This is a kind of spirit gathering array. Its function is to gather the life force of the living for cultivation, and it also contains a little method of the eight-door golden lock. As long as we go to the right door, we can get out. If we are wrong, I’m afraid something bad will happen.”

In fact, what Liu Su said was like this, “What kind of idiot arranged this array? The effect of spirit gathering has not been exerted much. The life force has dissipated, leaving only some garbage and dead force. The person even adds the eight-door golden lock in it, how shameful. The escape door can be distinguished at a glance… Don’t panic. The person who set this up is a trash. Just smash him to death if he shows up.”

Of course, Li Qingjun couldn’t hear Liu Su’s soul communication. Seeing Qin Yi’s confident look, she also felt a little at ease. Qin Yi didn’t even take another look and walked directly to the skeleton on the east side.

The taoist nun was pinching her fingers and counting, “The eight-door golden locks change with time. It has 96 changes, which is quite subtle. They may not be able to get out. It seems that I have to rescue them… Eh?”

She “eh” because Qin Yi was accurately walking to the escape door. He pressed on the skull, and the closed pit on the top opened.

Overjoyed, Li Qingjun grabbed Qin Yi’s hand and jumped out of the pit.

“It turns out that this young boy is a fellow taoist. The double-stack array, time wheel golden lock, is actually solved at a glance. With such ability, they are fine.” The taoist nun smiled and disappeared.

In fact, at the same time as she said these words, people’s voices came outside the mourning hall. The young master led a large group of people carrying torches and swords and surrounded Li Qingjun and Qin Yi.

The taoist nun clearly saw such a scene, but she said indifferently that “they are fine”. Whether she trusted Li Qingjun’s martial art too much, the method of “the fellow taoist”, or she didn’t care about the fighting between people, no one knew.

The young master didn’t know that there was a fairy from the outside. He led people to surround Qin Yi and Li Qingjun. His first reaction was also startled. Stepmother went to look for Li Qinglin, but these 2 people came to the mourning hall… so what happens on Li Qinglin’s side?

He was very anxious. He quickly called a servant to check the situation in Li Qinglin’s guest room while sneering at Qin Yi, “My mother is kind enough to take you in as guests, but it turns out that she invites thieves?”

Before Qin Yi could speak, Li Qingjun sternly said, “In the mourning hall, there is a hidden trap. Under the coffin, there are piles of bones! Who is the thief!”

The young master sneered, “This is my family’s ancestral hall, and the bones of my family’s ancestors are underneath, so why does it relate to the others? I set up the trap just to deal with grave robbers like you!”

Li Qingjun’s eyes widened. She was so choked that he couldn’t speak for a moment.

Qin Yi said lightly, “The evil array that gathers the life force of the living to cultivate is also set up by your ancestors?”

The young master was stunned, “What array?”

Qin Yi frowned.

The young master was obviously not in the mood to talk to them, so he waved and said, “Take them down!”

The servants rushed forward. Li Qingjun raised her long spear.

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the guest room not far away. The scream was filled with extreme pain and fear, making people feel creepy.

It’s Mrs. Zhang’s voice. It’s just that it’s out of shape at this moment, like a ghost.

“Not good!” The young master’s expression changed drastically, he didn’t even care about the two besieged people, and rushed towards the guest room in a hurry, and even staggered a bit when he passed the threshold, looking extremely panicked.
