#Taoist Master Headlines: Xun Yi Believes Science Whenever She Wants To#
Hualala—
Raindrops splashed on her skin. Her body was cold. The smell of mud was overpowering.
“Cough cough cough...”
Ming Shu sat up. She was lying on muddy ground.
The outlines of distant mountains could be seen. It was too dark to see the entire face.
She was in the wilderness!
Ming Shu sighed. She inspected her body first. There were no visible injuries, but she felt uncomfortable. She must be suffering from internal injuries.
She looked around her. She found a place to hide from the rain and recover the memories of this body.
The Host was called Xun Yi.
She had a weak body ever since she was young. She always saw ghosts too. Her parents were very afraid of her. They found many people to help her but there were no results. In the end, they decided to abandon her.
The Host was left in an unfamiliar place.
After some time, the Host met Qing Chengzi. Qing Chengzi felt that she had the talent to practice Taoism so he brought her back to Wuliang Mountain.
There weren’t many people on the Wuliang Mountain. Including the Host, there were only five people.
Qing Chengzi had three senior brothers.
Xun Yi was the youngest disciple of the Wuliang Mountain. All three senior brothers doted on her dearly. She was raised like a princess.
However, a few years after the Host came to Wuliang Mountain, everyone on Wuliang Mountain was killed.
The Host was lucky and managed to escape.
She started investigating the event.
When she found the truth, the other sects claimed that Qing Chengzi didn’t belong to a righteous sect and refused to administer justice for him. They even covered for the culprit. From then on, the Host started fighting with all the other sects.
The Host learned magic arts by herself. She would cause trouble for the other sects whenever she could. The other sects hated her. However, they couldn’t do anything to her.
She knew her abilities so she always ran away after completing her task.
If she couldn’t win a fight, she should run away.
This time, someone noticed her actions. Many people from different sects came to check on the situation.
The Host was unlucky. She met a powerful ghost along the way.
She was also discovered by the people from the other sects. During their fight, she lost and fell off a cliff.
She must have died from the fall.
No wonder the body hurts so much.
Ming Shu leaned against a tree and sighed. Let’s eat something to replenish my energy first.
...
Wuliang Mountain...
The Taoist temple was dilapidated. It looked as though it had been abandoned for a long time. Ming Shu stepped on the ground covered with weeds. She pushed open the door that looked the cleanest to her and threw herself on the bed.
She could finally get some sleep.
After sleeping, Ming Shu felt more energized.
She felt the Qi in the air. Not bad.
The Host’s magic arts ability was normal, but she was good at drawing magic symbols.
There was a saying—A magic symbol is created by spiritual enlightenment. Yet most people think that the ink is the important factor.
Qing Chengzi hadn’t known that she had this ability. He only found out after bringing her back.
Ming Shu walked out of the room. The ground was covered with moss. The air was cold. There was no sign of human life here.
The Host didn’t come back often so no one cleaned the Taoist temple. As time went by, it became dilapidated.
Ming Shu stretched her back and walked to the courtyard.
No one came to the Wuliang Mountain to pray. That was because Qing Chengzi was a member of an evil sect.
Well, that was how other people viewed Qing Chengzi.
However, in the Host’s memory, Qing Chengzi was a gentle and kind person. He would help a stranger in need.
To the Host, Qing Chengzi was a great master.
Ming Shu stepped on the moss as she walked out.
There was a small town a short distance away from the mountain. She could go there to get some food and...
Repair this broken Taoist temple.
Ming Shu went down the mountain. There was a road below. She was too lazy to walk so she squatted at the side of the road and waited to hitch a ride.
The Host didn’t have a cellphone. If not, she could use the ride-hailing apps.
She waited for a long time but no car came by. She didn’t even see any humans.
Vroom—
Ming Shu squinted as she looked in the direction the sound came from.
A tractor drove over slowly. Ming Shu stared at it for a moment before deciding to stop it.
Sitting in a tractor was better than walking.
She mustn’t tire herself.
The driver was a simple and honest man. When he noticed that Ming Shu was alone, he stopped the car and let her board.
The man asked her curiously, “Young lady, what are you doing here alone? Are you wearing Taoist robes?”
Ming Shu was wearing a Taoist robe. However, it wasn’t the normal version.
The Host was beautiful so she looked good in the Taoist robe.
No matter how ugly the clothes are, you will be able to pull it off if you have a pretty face.
“Yes.” Ming Shu nodded.
The man became respectful. “So you’re a Taoist nun.”
Ming Shu: “...”
What the hell is a Taoist nun?
There’s no such title in their Taoist temple.
The formal title was Kun Dao (the formal term in Chinese. In English, we refer to them as Taoist nuns).
However, most people didn’t know the difference and Ming Shu was too lazy to explain. People might get more confused if you tried to explain some things to them.
The man was a chatty person. Ming Shu smiled as she listened to him boasting throughout the journey. Very soon, they reached the small town.
Ming Shu thanked the man.
At this time of day, people normally went to the market. Hence, the small town was bustling.
Ming Shu took out the Host’s card and checked the value remaining. She only had a few thousand left. The Host was too busy causing trouble and didn’t have the time to earn money.
I can’t live with this amount of money!
Ming Shu took some money and bought some clothes. The Taoist robe was too inconvenient. Then, she found a place to eat.
As she was eating, a bunch of people rushed in. They were in a haggard state.
“Boss, give us some things to fill our stomachs.”
Ming Shu glanced at the people. Her gaze paused for a moment. Then, she moved her eyes away and continued eating her food.
The group of people was speaking in low voices.
Ming Shu finished her food and left. She wanted to find some people to help repair the Taoist temple but gave up due to the lack of money.
She bought some food and prepared to go back.
She was still recovering from her injury so she would be at a disadvantage if she started a fight.
“Young lady, hold your things carefully.”
The lady boss shouted.
Ming Shu took the things and passed the money to the lady boss.
“Hey, someone died from a car accident. Do you want to take a look?” A woman came in and pulled the lady boss.
“My shop is still open.”
“It won’t take long. Everyone is over there,” the woman replied.
“...Fine. Let me give the change to this young lady first.” The lady boss passed Ming Shu her change and closed the door hurriedly.
Ming Shu stood still. Why do they want to see dead people? Don’t they think that it’s bad luck?
Unfortunately, she still had to pass the location of the accident on her way back.
The person who died was one of the people she saw when she was eating.
It was a gory death. His entire head had been squashed by something.
Ming Shu clicked her tongue. This was too gruesome for her.
The other people in the group weren’t around. Maybe they ran away when the accident happened or they weren’t here from the start.
Ming Shu looked into the emptiness and smiled lightly. Then, she walked through the crowd casually and left.
