I have a Taoist temple that connects me to other worlds

The sky was clear and the sun was high.

In Li Village.

Following the clear riverbank, winding and meandering, the grass and trees on both sides were yellow and withered, and fish and shrimp leaped.

From time to time, mounds of grass could be seen rising up, like small hills.

Next to the grass piles, children with their hair in tufts were playing, and looking up, one could see the village not far away.

At this time, it was mealtime, and the village was filled with cooking smoke, rising straight into the clouds.

Accompanied by a burst of children's laughter, children with bare bottoms poured into the water, some playing, some making noise.

A pair of big eyes were like black beads, revealing a bit of intelligence that didn't belong to children.

He was wearing clean white short-sleeved cloth clothes, and a longevity lock was hanging around his neck.

At home, he was clearly a spoiled child, carefully cared for by adults.

The child's name was Li Yanming, the grandson of Li Changxin in Li Village.

"Mingwa's brother was possessed by a water ghost, now he doesn't dare to go into the water if he's not allowed to.

What a coward, let's play by ourselves."

"Hey kid, what are you looking at?"

Li Lao San's laughter rang in his ears, and Li Yanming withdrew his gaze and looked at him innocently.

"That's Li Xiucai's wife, she just came to the village.

She doesn't go out much on weekdays, so it's normal that you don't recognize her."

Li Lao San pinched Li Yanming's face and led him towards the village.

"Xiucai's wife is good-looking, does Yanming want to marry such a wife?"

Li Lao San smiled, feeling happy that his son was close to him.

Usually, the kid is as quiet as a little adult, only now does he look like his child.

Just passing by, it attracted the men's attention.

If Li Yanming were not too young, and the time for spring had not yet arrived, he would probably be attracted by this beautiful woman as well.

"Why do I feel like she's going to eat people?"

Li Yanming vaguely had the illusion of being stared at by something ferocious.

Hearing this, Li Yanming pouted, with a worried look on his face: "You just won't listen to me, there really are water ghosts in the water, be careful of being caught."

Although he didn't understand what was going on, he still stayed in Li Lao San's arms, not daring to look at the beautiful woman again.

"Who told Mingwa to listen to adults the most."

"It's not hard, with my family's Yanming here, how could Dad be tired."

The child muttered, sitting on the tree root and looking at the sky.

"Okay, okay, Dad will sleep with you."

Li Lao San agreed with a smile, and walked towards the village with Li Yanming in his arms.

"Finished working, wasn't I calling you back to eat?"

Li Lao San smiled, reached out and picked him up into his arms.

Li Gouzi over there finished counting and, after discovering that no one was missing, led the remaining children back to the village.

"Yanming, why are you sitting here alone?"

He saw a stout woman with a thick waist holding a wooden stick, hurrying towards the riverbank.

This woman was Cao, the wife of the village butcher, with a hot and spicy personality.

"Ai! Mom! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Being pulled, Li Gouzi repeatedly begged for mercy, rambling and swearing that he wouldn't dare to do it again.

"Dad, whose wife is that?"

He asked Li Lao San curiously.

"Gouzi! I told you to take care of the children, why did you take them to the water!

How many times have I told you, you can't go into the water at this time of year, why are you so disobedient?!"

"What should I do?"

Li Yanming sighed.

"You come and play too, it's so much fun!"

This chill came very suddenly, and Li Yanming was a little at a loss.

His young intuition told him that Xiucai's wife was very terrifying.

"Mingwa is afraid we'll see his white butt!"

"Dad! I'll sleep with you tonight."

Li Yanming said softly.

Li Yanming couldn't help but shiver, feeling as if his whole body had fallen into an ice cave, and goosebumps rose on his arms.

Although Li Yanming was young, he had also learned a bit of childish worry from what he had seen and heard.

If his cousin didn't wake up again, that shadow would take over his body.

Hearing the familiar voice, Li Yanming scrambled to his feet.

He turned his head to look at the person behind him, with a smile on his face: "Dad, are you done with work?"

His chest was pounding with fright, as if there was some great terror.

Li Yanming felt that his forehead was covered with cold sweat, but his hands and feet were icy cold on this hot day.

Hearing these words, Li Yanming glanced at them with his dark eyes, sighed softly and said: "You guys should come up quickly, the adults will be here soon, be careful of getting caught and beaten up."

"We're not afraid!

They're all busy, they don't have time to catch us."

The other children stuck out their tongues at him and splashed water on him.

Li Yanming could only avoid it, so as not to suffer unwarranted disaster.

Rejoicing in his heart, Li Yanming saw a beautiful woman coming.

She had a white face, a slender waist, willow eyebrows, and almond eyes.

Her face was like spring water, with a bit of charm in her tenderness.

Passing by Li Lao San, they all made faces at Li Yanming, and then ran away quickly.

They were like wild horses that had broken free of their reins, and the adults couldn't stop this group of sturdy kids.

Perhaps Cao's voice was loud enough, and soon adults came one after another to lead their children away.

Scolding and beating were naturally indispensable, and for a time, the children wailed everywhere, all sighing and groaning.

Hearing this, Li Yanming couldn't help but glance at the beautiful woman.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the beautiful woman happened to turn her face to look at him, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on her delicate face.

Li Lao San was a very kind person, working as a carpenter in the village.

Because of his good craftsmanship, Li Village would seek him out for any needs.

The man looked at the child with a smile, wanting to say something more, when he heard an angry scolding from behind.

"You little brats, you get itchy if you don't get beaten for a day, and you still dare to play in the water!"

A group of children were making a lively commotion, diving into the water to play.

He hurriedly withdrew his gaze, nestled in Li Lao San's arms, and dared not look around casually again.

What others didn't know was that his eyes were different from ordinary people, and he could always see some strange things.

After his cousin played in the water and came back, Li Yanming could always see a shadow behind him.

Seeing this, the children in the river all climbed out of the river in panic.

Pushing and shoving each other, they picked up their clothes placed by the river, and fearfully hid away with their bare bottoms.

After struggling in every possible way, he could only rub his ears with a bitter face, and then announced the end of this water play.

"Oh! Mingwa is just a little mud man, he doesn't dare to play in the water."

"Who's a coward, Mingwa is a coward!"

Li Lao San cherished Li Yanming even more.

After all, he only had such a son after the age of thirty, so naturally he cherished him in his heart.

Usually, if there was anything he wanted, as long as he opened his mouth, Li Lao San would be willing to satisfy him.

Seeing that he didn't come down, the children playing in the river shouted at him one after another: "Mingwa, come down quickly!"

The one who came was Li Yanming's father, Li Lao San, the third son of Li Changxin.

Reaching out and twisting the ear of one of the fat kids, pulling him so that he howled.

Li Yanming had told the adults in his family about this matter, but the adults didn't believe it at first.

Later, they discovered that his cousin was unconscious and always said strange things.

Only then did they panic and seek help from witch doctors and Taoist priests everywhere.

But his cousin remained unconscious, worrying his family.

Cao looked at the group of kids, their bodies wet, and their shoes and clothes covered in mud, and she was furious.

Li Yanming reached out and wiped the sweat from Li Lao San's forehead, saying very sensibly: "Daddy has worked hard."

Li Yanming couldn't help but snicker at the scene.

He had already told these little partners about the situation, but they didn't believe him, so they deserved to be scolded.

The kids all knew that this woman was very powerful, and they didn't dare not listen to her.

After putting on their clothes, they stood obediently on the embankment, all with their heads bowed and eyes lowered, not daring to say a word.

When passing by the beautiful woman from Xiucai's family, the two families parted ways.

Li Yanming couldn't help but feel curious, and turned his face to look at the beautiful woman's back.

In a trance, Li Yanming seemed to see two faint black shadows swaying left and right behind the beautiful woman.

Li Yanming was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes, no longer daring to continue watching.
