Chapter 163 Who is she?
Taoist Priest Wu took them to the back yard which was not open to tourists.
There is a big ginkgo tree planted in the yard. Now it is bare and inexplicably desolate.
Lin Zhen was a little confused. She remembered that the foot of the ginkgo tree was surrounded by a wooden platform, and the woman often practiced and drew talismans on the wooden platform. How come now she just simply made a circle with some stones?
"Where is the wooden platform under the ginkgo tree? Why was it taken down?" She said this using her ability, and everyone present could hear it.
Taoist Priest Wu was also confused. "I remember that there has never been a wooden platform under this ginkgo tree. I wonder where the wooden platform you mentioned came from?"
Lin Zhen widened her eyes, "How...how could there be nothing...I clearly remember that there was." Her tone was firm.
Taoist Priest Wu also began to doubt himself. Thinking of his master's erratic temper, he said, "Maybe it happened before? I went down the mountain to practice for many years. Maybe my master built this platform and then removed it."
Zhang Youcai stroked his chin and tilted his head to think for a while. "Hmm... I think it's good to have a wooden platform. When I have nothing to do, I can put a table on it to practice and drink tea. It's very elegant. Why did Master tear it down?"
Taoist Priest Wu glared at him unhappily and said, "Master is just like you. He always likes to do whatever he wants. He may like this tree today, but he may not like it anymore and chop it down tomorrow."
"When you were a child, didn't you often urge the master to cut down this tree? Oh, now you like it again?"
Zhang Youcai bared his teeth and said nonchalantly, "Oh, Senior Brother, Master usually teaches us to follow our heart, otherwise our Taoism will be unstable. In autumn, the smell of ginkgo nuts smells like shit, like a cesspool. My room is right next to it, and the smell often keeps me awake all night. I definitely didn't like it at that time~"
Taoist Priest Wu didn't expect this to be the reason, and he cursed, "There are so many rooms in the temple, why did you insist on living in that one? Don't you deserve to be smoked?"
Zhang Youcai said confidently, "You can see the whole ginkgo tree from the window of that house. It is very beautiful in autumn."
Taoist Priest Wu couldn't help but curse, "Stupid thing."
Zhang Youcai was not angry at all. Instead, he bared his teeth in a sly manner and said, "Brother, you are finally not so polite?"
"Curse a few more times, I love to hear it."
Taoist Wu rolled his eyes and ignored him, just walking forward.
Wen Jing was shocked, "Can Taoist priests curse people these days?"
Zhang Youcai snorted in a good mood, "Why not? We in Taoism believe in doing whatever we want. We would rather die than let our friends die. We cannot stand the slightest grievance, otherwise our Taoism will be unstable."
Wen Jing understood, "That's right."
Taoist Priest Wu led them to a house and opened the door. There were several portraits inside. The incense on the table had not yet burned out and was emitting wisps of green smoke.
"Since my master once had a predestined relationship with you, come and pay your respects to him first."
Wen Jing walked in and looked at the portraits, all of which were ink paintings with different painting styles.
It is not a solemn and dignified portrait, but rather a portrait with mountains and water, with people sitting, leaning, and lying down. They all look very relaxed, as if they were immortals.
Lin Zhen's voice sounded again, "Where is your master's portrait? Why is it not there?"
Because these portraits are all of men, there is not a single woman.
Taoist Priest Wu was a little puzzled. He pointed to a portrait beside him and said, "This is my master. Don't you know him?"
Lin Zhen was stunned. The portrait was painted using the fine brushwork technique. It showed a skinny old man sitting on a rock, petting a cat in his arms with a smile on his face.
No matter how you look at it, he's a man.
Lin Zhen's tone was a little anxious, "Do you have any female Taoist priests in Taixuan Mountain?"
Taoist Priest Wu: "Yes, there are two female disciples in Taixuan Mountain. Which one do you want to find?"
Lin Zhen opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. She didn't know the name of the woman she met that year.
Even...I haven't even seen her face clearly.
Lin Zhen regained hope, "Then... can you let them come over?"
Taoist Wu nodded, walked to the next room, picked up the landline and made a call.
After a while, two middle-aged women in Taoist robes came into the room and bowed to Taoist Master Wu and greeted him, "Master, Uncle Master."
Lin Zhen floated over and looked left and right. She was not the woman she had seen before. Her figure and temperament were completely different.
"Not them! No!"
The two female Taoist priests were stunned.
"Master...Master...who...who is speaking?"
Zhang Youcai said calmly, "Nothing, just a ghost talking."
The two female Taoist priests suddenly became excited, "Uncle Master, have you caught a new ghost?"
"Where is it? Let me see it."
Taoist Priest Wu felt embarrassed when he saw that they looked like they had never seen the world. "Go away, that ghost cannot be seen for the time being. Go back and practice well. I will show it to you when I have the chance."
The two female Taoist priests said "oh" and walked away reluctantly with their lips pouted. In their hearts, they thought that their master Ququ only knew how to eat alone and never brought them to see the world.
The ghost energy in Lin Zhen's body was somewhat turbulent.
She fell into deep thought, who was that woman?
Suddenly, I thought of a point, "You said before that the Mirror of Resentment was given to you by your master. Who else is qualified to use that mirror?"
Taoist Priest Wu was also a little puzzled. "The Mirror of Resentment can only be used by the successor of each generation of Taixuan Mountain. Those two female disciples are also my disciples, and they are not yet capable of becoming successors."
Wen Jing was confused. "That is to say, the woman you saw back then lived here and could use that mirror. She must be the successor, but there is no such person here now?"
Taoist Priest Wu nodded, "Looking at every successor of Taixuan Mountain, there is no female."
Lin Zhen suddenly looked at Zhang Youcai, "Since you said you trapped me there on purpose, who told you to do that?"
