Link was not the type to wait passively.

Earlier, through the intelligence system established by myself, it was confirmed that the single mother was in Jiang's mansion.

I rarely go out on weekdays. Even if I go out, I go to various Taoist temples and temples to burn incense and worship gods and Buddhas.

Regarding Taoist temples, temples, gods, and Buddhas, Link had doubts in his heart, but he never expressed them.

Let’s wait and see if something slightly weird will pop up like ancient witchcraft/evil witchcraft.

No rush, no hurry.

What needs immediate action now is visiting relatives.

After visiting his relatives and letting go of one of the few bonds in this world, Link can go into battle more lightly and concentrate on completing this test.

It was the early morning of the second day after arriving in Tianshui County.

Link left the hotel early, called a carriage, and headed to Qingyun Temple in the northern suburbs.

Since taking office, Governor Hu has vigorously advocated and supported the development of the machinery industry, including electric power, automobiles, trains, and construction machinery. Those who have conditions must be employed, and those who are not can also be employed.

The provincial capital is closest to Governor Hu, so the development of the machinery industry is of course faster.

Tianshui County is the stronghold of the toughest conservative forces.

The large clans headed by the Jiang family joined forces to resist Governor Hu's policies.

These clans control the entire Tianshui County based on their profit base of real estate, minerals, aquatic products, farm output, and lending to various handicraft industries.

Not to mention just Warlord Hu, even if he came here in person, he would not be able to do anything extraordinary in Tianshui County unless he brought a large army with him.

Mechanical martial arts, which is supported by most owners of the machinery industry, is the most outrageous heresy in Tianshui County.

Link hadn't been in a carriage for many years and was not used to this kind of shaking.

Fortunately, after practicing Immortal Martial Arts for ten years in this life, I have gained control over my body to the point where my mind can move my body according to my will. I can control my body to shake slightly with the rhythm of the carriage to eliminate discomfort.

The incense of Qingyun Temple is not prosperous.

Common people generally like to go to temples to burn incense.

Taoist temples and Taoist priests who believe or not are really a little too aloof.

However, among the upper class society in Tianshui County, Qingyun Temple is extremely famous.

The abbot of the Taoist temple has medical skills, a health-preserving scripture, and a unique skill of interpreting fortunes and praying for luck, which has won the hearts of many noble people.

The Taoist temple most visited by single mothers is Qingyun Temple.

Today is the 15th, and it’s the day when single mothers go to Qingyun Temple every month to burn incense and pray for blessings.

"Mr. Lang, we're here."

The driver stopped the carriage steadily and said respectfully.

It is quite interesting to call him Mr. in the provincial capital and Mr. in the county town.

Link paid the carriage, got out of the carriage, and walked towards Qingyun Temple with square steps.

He was specially dressed in gorgeous clothes today, with a handsome face and a noble temperament. Although he was alone, without an entourage, and riding only a rental carriage, he looked like the noblest among nobles.

After entering the mountain gate, a Taoist priest Zhike came to greet him.

Qingyun Temple is a quiet place. The Taoist priest Zhike bowed and said hello, then he just stayed by Link's side quietly, without any intention of explaining anything.

If Link has any questions, he can ask and he will definitely get an answer.

After paying homage to Lingguan Hall, Link came to Sanqing Hall, the main hall of Qingyun Temple.

Looking at the statues of the three Heavenly Gods enshrined in the temple, Link felt a little confused and didn't know what he was thinking.

As more and more intellectual memories were unlocked recently, Link felt more and more awkward and strange about this world.

Call it fake, but everyone Link comes into contact with is real.

Although the wizard level is not very high, and he has only just reached the third level of wizard, Link cannot rely on ordinary reasoning.

With the help of various blessings and opportunities, Link began to understand the rules early, and it can be said that he has half a foot on the threshold of a sage.

The so-called sages in the wizarding world not only refer to wizards of level 4 and above who are worthy of everyone's respect, but also mean that wizards of level 4 and above have begun to understand the true meaning of the world and the truth of the universe.

If we say that seventeen years before the intellectual memory was unlocked in this life, Link could not tell whether the people he came into contact with were real or fake.

Then, as more and more intellectual memories are unlocked, Link can no longer distinguish between true and false, so he will be sorry for the blessing and opportunity that helped him understand the rules in advance.

To say it is true is to say it is awkward and weird everywhere.

I won’t go into details about the extreme separation between the human martial arts and the mechanical martial arts, and how Link feels that the mechanical martial arts looks more like an armored warrior than a warrior.

The source of ancient witchcraft is suspected to be worship of heaven and earth and the natural "alchemy". The source of evil witchcraft is suspected to be alien objects from the sky. I will not go into details.

It is difficult to explain clearly the Taoist beliefs represented by the three Tianzun statues in front of us.

When Link was in the wizarding world, he had never heard that there was a world of immortals in all the worlds!

After looking through the history books of the wizarding world and the records of previous large-scale wars, I can't find a single word related to immortals.

In this world, there are many Taoist temples and temples, and most of the gods worshiped have been heard of.

There is only one scripture, because Link lacks understanding and does not know whether it is the same.

Even so, it is also very strange.

"This layman is very polite. He is a humble man and has met layman before."

While Link was looking straight at the statues of the three gods and thinking, Zhike Taoist quietly withdrew and found Master Jingxu, the abbot of Qingyun Temple, to receive this distinguished guest whose aura made him afraid to speak.

Link's thoughts were disrupted, but he was not annoyed. He smiled back and said, "Ke Lin has met Master Jingxu."

"Kelin, layman, I have prepared tea in the quiet room. I wonder if I am lucky enough to be able to invite the layman to come and have a chat."

Master Jingxu waved the dust in his hand and pointed in the direction.

"It is Ke's honor to be able to discuss mysteries with Master Jingxu."

Link agreed immediately.

"Householder, please."

"Real people please go first."

The two exchanged pleasantries, and finally Master Jingxu led the way, with Link following behind.

Not long after, they came to a quiet room in the side hall.

The room was not big, only one foot square, and there was nothing else in it. There was a low coffee table and two futons.

It was cleaned extremely clean, the windows were bright and clean, no incense was burned, and the air was fresh.

The two sat opposite each other on the low couch. Master Jingxu picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea.

It is said to be clear tea, but it is indeed clear tea.

The tea is translucent, without any side color, and the aroma of tea is faint.

A rough sniff can cleanse people's hearts and sweep away their worries.

Link was deeply impressed by this simple and unpretentious tea-making skill.

Some of the blocked memories came out again, reminding Link of the tea leaves he made in the wizarding world.

"It's off! It's off!"

I sighed in my heart that I had lost the true nature of the tea ceremony, but my face remained calm. After thanking Master Jingxu, I picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

“Good tea!”

The tea lingered in the mouth for a moment and then went straight into the stomach. Link was full of praise.

"What's so good about it?"

Master Jingxu asked with a smile.

"Fortunately, I have a pure heart and few desires."

Link also smiled and answered honestly.

"I wonder if the layman has cleared his mind?"

Master Jingxu himself also picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then asked casually.

Link did not answer, but asked: "I wonder if the real person has become ecstatic?"

"Ashamed!"

Master Jingxu thought about it seriously, and replied with a look of shame on his face, but he did not shy away from it, "I am a poor Taoist who has not cultivated enough and has not yet been able to have few desires."

"In this way, Ke cannot be pure and has many worries in his heart."

Link followed the flow and then changed the topic and asked, "Master Suwen is good at interpreting lots. I wonder if Mr. Ke will be lucky enough to ask for a fortune?"

Master Jingxu shook his head slightly and said seriously: "It's better to ask for a fortune than to ask for yourself. It's just a few broken pieces of wood, why shake it?"

"Then why is the real person still willing to interpret people's signatures?"

Link asked curiously.

"Those who ask for fortune seek peace of mind. What poor Taoists understand is not the fortune, but the knot in the heart."

Master Jingxu did not hide anything and directly expressed his true thoughts and actions.

"I see."

Link nodded, thoughtfully.

At this time, the open door of the quiet room was knocked twice, and a middle-aged Taoist stood outside the door: "Abbott, Miss Jiang is here."

"Wait a moment, layman. The poor Taoist will come as soon as he goes."

Master Jingxu first signaled the middle-aged Taoist to leave, and then apologized to Link.

"You can do what you want, Ke is fine here."

Link behaved very generously and did not mean to be harsh.

"Thank you for your understanding, layman."

Master Jingxu bowed, stood up and left the quiet room.

Link sat quietly in the quiet room, sipping tea leisurely, with no immediate plans to meet the single mother.

Master Jingxu left the quiet room, and the expression on his face turned solemn.

The middle-aged Taoist and the Taoist Zhike who first received Link were waiting in the side hall on the way to the Sanqing Hall. When they saw Master Jingxu, they immediately bowed and saluted.

Master Jingxu waved his whisk lightly, indicating that no need to be polite, and then asked: "Miss Jiang comes alone? Is anyone from the Jiang family accompanying you?"

"Go back to the abbot, and the third young master of the Jiang family will accompany you."

The middle-aged Taoist answered.

"Um."

Master Jingxu nodded, feeling much more relaxed, and then looked at Taoist Zhike: "Are you sure you didn't admit your mistake?"

Taoist Zhike said cautiously: "Abbott, I am not sure, but after I accompanied the layman into the Sanqing Hall, I saw that the layman's face changed. The changed face was the same as the Baji that Miss Jiang was extremely concerned about. The martial arts master Link is more than nine points similar."

"It's troublesome."

Master Jingxu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

If this matter is not handled well today, it will cause big trouble for Qingyun Temple.

I just hope that Lin Shaoxia didn't come to Tianshui County out of revenge.

"Let's go see Miss Jiang first."

Master Jingxu couldn't figure out how to break the situation for a while, so he could only keep calm and observe how the situation would progress.

Before entering Sanqing Hall, Master Jingxu was still wondering why Young Master Lin chose Qingyun Temple when Miss Jiang also went to Jinshan Temple to worship Buddha.

"I've seen a real person."

Miss Jiang had already offered incense to the three Heavenly Masters in this life and was sitting in meditation on the futon. When she saw Master Jingxu approaching, she took the initiative to say hello, "It's a sin to disturb Master Jingxu's meditation again."

"Jiang Jie is so polite."

Master Jingxu bowed his head and said with a smile, "Jiang is destined to be a Taoist, so coming to Qingyun Temple, how can it be regarded as disturbing?"

Miss Jiang smiled slightly and did not answer.

"This way, layman, please."

Seeing this, Master Jingxu reluctantly led Miss Jiang to the quiet room in the living room of the side hall.

This is Miss Jiang's habit.

Every time after offering incense to the three Heavenly Lords, they were asked to sign a lot, and Master Jingxu was asked to interpret the lot.

The bamboo stick requested this time is already in Miss Jiang's hand.

There is of course more than one quiet room in Qingyun Guanke Hall, but not many, only three.

Master Jingxu specially arranged the quiet room for receiving Link in the westernmost room, separated from the easternmost room where Miss Jiang usually went.

This is the limit that Master Jingxu can achieve.

"Huh? Are there any pilgrims in the temple today?"

When they arrived near the three quiet rooms lined up in the living room, before Master Jingxu, the middle-aged Taoist Master Zhike noticed anything, Miss Jiang shouted in surprise.

The three Taoist priests followed Miss Jiang's line of sight and suddenly discovered that layman Ke, who was extremely suspicious of Lin Shaoxia, was standing under the apricot tree in front of the quiet room, quietly enjoying the scenery.

"This is layman Kelinke."

Master Jingxu sighed in his heart and made an introduction.

Things went in the direction he least expected.

If Master Ke is really Lin Shaoxia, and he changes his appearance and hides his identity, what do you want?

Of course, he had to meet his mother secretly first, and then decide how to deal with the Tianshui County Jiang family who only picked up Miss Jiang but abandoned Lin Shaoxia.

Over the years, every time Miss Jiang asked for a signature, she always asked for her abandoned son.

Master Jingxu knew very well what happened back then.

I just hope that the third young master of the Jiang family, who has never liked Taoist temples or temples, will stay outside the mountain gate as usual and not enter the Taoist temple.

To prevent "enemies" from meeting each other and becoming extremely jealous.

"Ke Lin?"

When Miss Jiang heard this name, her heart was inexplicably touched.

After carefully looking at the other party's appearance, he was inevitably a little disappointed.

"Ma'am, I'm a little tired."

Sighing, Miss Jiang said with a lonely expression.

"Jian Jianji, please come this way."

Master Jingxu heard the hidden meaning and led Miss Jiang to a quiet room in the east.

When they passed by Link who was standing under the apricot tree admiring the scenery, the three Taoists felt their hearts tightening, fearing that Link would recognize him on the spot.

Fortunately, Link didn't move. He just looked at the four of them calmly and continued to enjoy the scenery.

This made the three Taoists breathe a long sigh of relief.

Behind the four of them, Link frowned slightly.

With his eyesight, how could he not see that the single mother's body was still weak and her martial arts skills had not yet recovered.

Tianshui County Jiang family took the single mother back for ten years. Did she not think about treatment, or did the single mother refuse?

This is a very important question.

In a quiet room in the east, Miss Jiang was restless, always feeling like she had just missed something.

He forgot to hand the bamboo stick in his hand to Master Jingxu, and remained silent for a long time.

Master Jingxu turned away from the middle-aged Taoist priests and Taoist Zhike, and poured tea for Miss Jiang himself.

Taking the tea into her mouth, it worked, making Miss Jiang calm down and no longer frowning in thought.

"Please ask a real person to interpret the signature."

Miss Jiang put the bamboo stick on the coffee table with her heart in mind.

"God's will?"

Master Jingxu picked up the bamboo stick and looked at it, sighing in his heart.

If the signature is careless, it will be lost and recovered, but the process will be tortuous and it will still be lost in the end.

Putting down the bamboo stick, Master Jingxu seemed to have seen a bloody storm, so he was speechless for a long time.

"Real person?"

When Miss Jiang saw this, she couldn't help but ask, "This is a bad sign, isn't it?"

Master Jingxu sighed heavily, made a decision, and shouted loudly:

"Master Lin, please come in and talk."
