Chapter 251 Tianguan Disuo (2/2)

On the other side of the forest, Yanxu seemed slightly disheveled. There were dust on his white clothes. With a gentle wave, his clothes became clean again. His body was like wind and smoke. He traveled across the giant trees and reached the sky. He stood on top of the clouds; there was no end to the endless forest, and he did not know where Shen Lian was.

He activated the Supreme Heart Demon Chant, but to no avail. There was no response at all. If it was not for the tiniest of bond he still had with Shen Lian, he would have thought that Shen Lian had broken free from the Supreme Heart Demon Chant.

He contemplated for a short while and smiled. He looked at the north-west direction and whispered, ”So what if you have used the Tianguan Disuo? Back then, the Uncle-Master used to hunt me down; today, I shall return the favor and hunt her disciple's disciple down. Perhaps, this is what they called, ”an eye for an eye”.”

He felt that ”an eye for an eye” was a bad sign, as he had committed plenty of bad deeds.

He stood on top of the clouds handsomely. If a Yaotai Fairy were to see him now, her heart might flutter at the sight of him.

With a tap of his toe, a portion of the sea of clouds was segregated from it. The cloud fetched him towards the north-west direction, and he disappeared amidst the mountains. It was not known where he had gone.

Most of the river water flowed from west to east and they would end up in a big river or the sea. This was the case for Yushui as well. The stretch at Yuguan was the calmest of Yushui. All these while, no one planted crops at the river shore. They were afraid that when the flood came, it would destroy all of the crops. However, ever since the Goddess of Grains Temple was built, the weather had been great and the people had been living in peace and harmony.

The Goddess of Grains was efficacious. Despite that, she might not answer to every prayer, but she had done plenty of good deeds for the people within a one hundred mile radius.

Temple Attendant Qi who worked in the temple used to be addicted to gambling. Ever since he had answered to the calling of the Goddess, he had turned over a new leaf. He was almost fifty years old, and yet there was not even a strand of white hair on him. He looked as though he was thirty years old and was full of life.

Qi Sanguang sat on the doorstep and watched the fisherman doing their job. He felt contented.

Ever since the temple was built, it had not been expanded.

However, as a temple attendant, he did not remain idle all the time. He had been going around and tuning in to the sufferings of the people. He would report the injustice that he had encountered to the Goddess of Grains, and she would lend help whenever she could.

The satisfaction he derived from doing these were a lot more fulfilling than winning in a gamble.

As for the offerings provided by the believers, he had used the money to purchase land. The land was then passed on to the kind people for them to plant on. He charged them some rent as a formality. If anyone were to be dishonest and tried to trick him, they would not be able to sleep in peace knowing that the Goddess of Grains was watching over them.

The temple was not crowded on normal days unless it was the first or the fifteenth of the month. Even the fortune tellers were not here as the timing was not great.

A young man dressed in white walked over. He held a folding fan in his hands, and a piece of jade dangled at the end of the folding fan. As the temple attendant, Qi Sanguang had seen his fair share of impressive individuals. The jade dangling off the folding fan seemed to worth a few popular shops in Yuguan, and not even Master Shuo from the town was as lavish.

However, there was something strange about the young man in white. The hand that was holding the handle of the fan was as fair as the white jade. Not even a young lady would have hands as beautiful as his.

He walked over with a smile and started fanning himself at the door of the temple.

There were only two or three female believers at the temple, and they all blushed the moment they set eyes on him. They found themselves unable to look away.
