Three? Which three?

Probably the ones who don’t count Wu Feng and Wu Yun are Gu Xu, Gu Yue, and the heroine Yu Weishuang.

Without Gu Xu's arrangement, Wu Feng and Wu Yun knew what to do. The three of them walked down the stone steps into the mountain gate and headed towards the main hall of Qingxu Temple hidden behind layers of bamboo leaves.

Yu Weishuang's maid followed her closely, looking as if she was facing a great enemy, as if this Taoist temple was a place where people were eaten. Probably because she was a girl, the Taoist nun didn't say anything when she saw it.

When they arrived at the main hall, they saw many women in Taoist robes sweeping the floor. Gu Yue held Gu Xu's hand, his eyes clear, and he didn't dare to look at them too much, for fear of offending them.

The Taoist nun led them past the main hall.

When passing the main hall, Gu Yue couldn't help but look inside out of curiosity. He saw that the layout was somewhat like a temple, with three clay sculptures enshrined on the pedestal in the middle, which should be the Three Pure Ones in Taoist culture.

It looked deserted, but it must have received a lot of incense money. The clay sculptures were all painted in gold, not to mention the exquisitely renovated buildings and decorations everywhere. It was more luxurious than all the temples and Taoist temples Gu Yue had ever visited.

When they reached a door behind the main hall, the nun turned around.

"This guest is a man of age. Please stay in the main hall and don't wander around." She looked at Gu Yue and said, "You two, please follow me."

Gu Yue was embarrassed for a moment.

Then why didn't you let me in in the first place! I'm already here!

Is there any purpose for this arrangement?

Complaining and pondering in his heart, Gu Yue obediently stayed in the courtyard of the main hall, watching Gu Xu and Yu Weishuang walk into the door of the back hall side by side.

I don't know why, but I feel a sense of melancholy that lingers in my heart for a long time.

He didn't want to walk around, but standing there straight was a bit silly. Seeing that the steps at the back door of the main hall were swept spotlessly by the Taoist nuns, he simply walked over and sat down. Behind him was a clay sculpture of a Taoist priest behind the Three Pure Ones. It should be some famous Taoist ancestor, right? Gu Yue didn't know him.

The sun was shining brightly today, but the bamboo forests were dense and covered the ground in the courtyard, making it very cool. Gu Yue looked up and saw the eaves of the main hall extending out from the bamboo forest, casting a layer of fine golden light.

This is the golden glazed tile.

After a while, a little nun came over with a broom.

Gu Yue came back to his senses and quickly stood up, as he was afraid of disturbing others who were sweeping the floor.

"Sir, would you like to light a stick of incense in the main hall?" The little nun came towards him and said with a smile.

"This is not good, I am a man..." Gu Yue lowered his eyes, not daring to look at others.

"What's wrong with that? This is not a nunnery." The little nun made a gesture of invitation.

Gu Yue looked at her cautiously, and only relaxed a little when he saw that she didn't look strange.

Passing by the clay sculptures on both sides of the main hall, Gu Yue followed the little nun to the front of the main hall.

It was a spacious place with a delicate sandalwood scent. On the altar was a large gilded incense burner with three cushions in front. Gu Yue looked up and saw three statues of gods with long beards, kind eyes, and immortal deities sitting side by side, holding a fan, a round bead, and a jade ruyi respectively.

The carving craftsmanship of the statues was exquisite. The clothes of the Three Pure Ones were clearly clay sculptures, but they were shaped to have a sense of drape of cloth and silk. The three enlarged faces were very lifelike, and the eyes seemed to be inlaid with colored glaze, slightly glowing. At first glance, Gu Yue felt a sense of being watched.

The thing in his hand was even more... exquisite. The orb actually sparkled in the light, and the fan was a real fan, with the fan made of semi-transparent gold thread cicada yarn. The entire handle of the jade ruyi was made of jade, and the gemstone inlaid was a whole huge emerald, aquamarine, pure gold, etc...

It's the real thing. Gu Yue was stunned.

He immediately apologized repeatedly in his heart, saying that he was a shallow-minded person who only cared about money...I'm sorry.

"The incense in our Qingxu Temple is very effective." The little nun brought three incense sticks.

"I don't know much about these. Are there any taboos?" Gu Yue received it with both hands in fear and trepidation.

"Just be sincere." The little nun said with a smile.

After lighting the incense on the candle flame nearby, Gu Yue stepped forward and respectfully inserted the incense into the incense burner with both hands.

He knelt on the cushion, leaned forward and made a sincere wish.

I hope that in this life I can successfully change my tragic death as a cannon fodder.

I hope Gu Xu gets what he wants and everything goes well.

I wish I could make a lot of money so I don’t have to go back to my hometown village to farm.

Gu Yue thought about it, then reported his name and ID number from his previous life in his mind, and then his name and birthplace in this life.

Just as he was about to get up from the cushion, Gu Yue paused.

I continued to recite in my heart: ...I wish that Gu Xu and I will always be each other's family.

He stood up and suddenly had an inexplicable feeling.

The trance lasted only for a moment, and Gu Yue woke up. He blushed a little for his last wish. Who wouldn't want to be the hero's family? The future wealth and glory were just a guarantee.

Facing the gaze of the Three Pure Ones, Gu Yue did not dare to look up. He turned to the little Taoist nun standing aside and thanked her sincerely: "Thank you... Immortal?"

It seems a bit strange to call someone a Taoist nun directly.

The little Taoist nun smiled and said, "People in the secular world always call us Taoist nuns, but that's actually a derogatory term. If you want to address the women who practice cultivation, you can call them Taoist priests, immortal nuns, or Taoist nuns."

"I'm really sorry, I'm really ignorant." Gu Yue was ashamed. He called these fairies Taoist nuns in his heart, which was really wrong. "Thank you, Fairy, I am sorry for offending you."

"You are a sincere person, don't worry about it." The fairy said, "Young Master, you can rest for a while beside the temple. Your companions should be out in a while."

"Thank you, thank you." Gu Yue bowed repeatedly.

He sat on a chair beside the hall and waited, and the fairy brought him some fruits.

The Kun Dao here were indeed unrestrained and free-spirited, with the bearing of a cultivator. Even when they saw Gu Yue, a fierce-looking foreigner, they didn't pay any attention to him.

We waited until the sun set.

……

Gu Xu and Yu Weishuang, led by Kun Dao, took many turns and finally arrived at a house on the top of a small hill.

Kun Dao lifted a layer of door curtain and went in to report. Soon he came out again and said, "Please come in, both of you."

Gu Xu entered the bamboo curtain first, followed by Yu Weishuang.

The interior decoration of this house is simple and plain, revealing a simple and rustic taste.

A woman in exquisite clothes sat at the main seat, holding a teacup in her hand. She was not wearing the attire of a cultivator, but rather looked like some noble person.

Gu Xu showed no surprise. He bowed and saluted: "I, Gu Xu, greet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Yu Weishuang was a little surprised. She didn't dare to be as polite as Gu Xu, but knelt down and said respectfully: "Your servant Yu Weishuang greets Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess."

The eldest princess Qin Zhaohong hummed, put down the teacup in her hand, and raised her hand: "You two stand up."

Only then did they both stand up.
