918 God Gets Sick Part Ⅰ (2/2)
Passing through the capital city of Qi Kingdom, Sangsang became more and more exhausted. He remembered that he had left some rare and valuable medicinal herbs in the Taoist Hall here, so he decided to rest here for a night. He planned to relive the past and visit old acquaintances with Sangsang, in hopes of convincing her to care more about the human world.
The Taoist Hall in the rain was closed, and some followers who came to seek medical help were kneeling on the stone steps in front of the hall and bowed devoutly. They were all wet and looked very miserable.
Looking at the scene, Ning Que didn't feel well.
He did not sympathize with the followers, but was somewhat unhappy with the people inside the Taoist Hall.
Normally, the decay and absurd of Taoism had nothing to do with him.
Interestingly enough, he felt that since Haotian was his wife, then he was supposed to be concerned with Taoism. How could he allow those guys to undermine it?
Walking to the front of the hall, he knocked on the door. His knuckles were slightly pale. He counted silently in his mind. If no one answers the door after the count of three, I will kick it open.
The door was slowly creaking open. A bent middle-aged man came out and did not even look up, ”What's your business here?”
Looking at this middle-aged man, Ning Que felt a little strange. This man clearly wore a divine priest's robe which represented his distinguished status, but he gave an impression of being an inconspicuous handyman.
Ning Que asked, ”Why did no one answer these followers who came here to seek medical help?”
The middle-aged divine priest sighed and was about to say something. Suddenly, there came several extremely arrogant voices behind him, along with strong aromas of wine and meat.
”You dead cripple! I told you to ignore the door! Are you deaf?”
”Shut the door!”
”You think it's still like before? Chen Cun is already dead! Who will protect you now?”
Ning Que looked down and found that there was something wrong with the middle-aged divine priest's legs.
He knew who Chen Cun was.
Chen Cun was a very senior red-robed divine priest of the Divine Hall of Light. He was squeezed out of Peach Mountain and then went to manage the Taoist Hall in Qi Kingdom. In the autumn of the year they went to Lanke Temple for medical help, Ning Que and Sangsang had met him in this hall.
The next autumn, Ning Que and Sangsang were trapped in Yuelun Kingdom's Chaoyang City and hunted by the whole world. Three red-robed divine priests helped them escape by using the Divine Skill of Light to explode themselves.
At that time, a burning carriage appeared on the wilderness outside Chaoyang City, which was the scene of the last red-robed divine priest who used the Divine Skill of Light to explode himself. That divine priest was Chen Cun.
Ning Que also remembered who this middle-aged divine priest was.
He ordered, ”Look up.”
The middle-aged divine priest looked up and looked at Ning Que. He was puzzled at first, but soon his eyes were brimmed with bright, for he recognized Ning Que.
He bursted into tears.
