Chapter 44 The Poorest Dragon King in History (2/2)
Liu Shuai’s question seemed to be reasonable for me. Li Long Fei was not proficient in divination, and we only met for two or three times. Beside, we had never appeared in front of him together at the same time. How could he be sure that the guest from half a year ago was our director? It was really strange. I looked at Long Fei and waited for his response.
”That's not difficult,” Long Fei smiled. ”He also had a wish that day, and one of his wishes was for his subordinates to be safe and healthy. Amongst the names he mentioned, there are Hao Ning, Zhou Yuan and Liu Shuai. I have few pilgrims here, so my mana is limited. Although I can not fulfill all their wishes, I always check these wishes in free time. I can memorize these names, and when Master Zhang Quan told me your names, I was amazed that what a small world it is…”
Long Fei continued to chatter on his own, but I was touched. The director was only accompanying his relative to fulfill her wish, but he included us in his wishes. Although it wasn't a big deal, it proved that he was very concerned about us. I wondered what Zhou Yuan would think after knowing all this.
“Sigh, I did not expect that Zhou Yuan would do such a foolish thing and lose his soul.” Long Fei was still talking. ”I wonder if this counts as my bad work performance? Sigh, I can't figure it out. Hey, here we are. Turn right and you will see it.”
Long Fei pointed forward. Then Liu Shuai drove the car to the right and parked it in the parking lot. After we got off the car, Liu Shuai and I found out why Li Long Fei's temple had little donation.
It was surrounded by factory walls. We could hear the sound of all kinds of electric drills and lathes occasionally. The road was wide and sparse, and there was no place for pilgrims to eat or play, except for a small shop, while the owner was playing mahjong with a few friends. There were not many people coming and going. The places I had been to, like Wutai Mountains, were surrounded by all kinds of facilities and inns, thus anyone who passed by, whether they believed Buddhism or not, would come to pay their respects.
However, this temple was quite interesting. It was built in front of a lush and verdant mountain. The mountain was not tall, but for some reason, it felt very suitable for this temple to be built in front of it, as if it was not built, but grew up naturally.
”How is it?” Long Fei embarrassedly asked us, ”Is it that bad?”
”A mountain needn't be tall and can be holy with the presence of a dragon.” I modified an ancient line. “It seems very good to me. This mountain and temple is majestic but not that tall, and it does have its grandeur.”
Long Fei was very happy when he heard me praising him. Just as he was about to bring us into the temple, Liu Shuai grabbed him. ”You haven't told us how to get the Immortal Tying Rope. Why are we going in?”
”Oh, you are right.” Long Fei also realized that he had not told us what to do yet, so he stopped and brought us to a cool place. ”I have a few more Immortal Tying Ropes hidden under the Dragon King's statue.”
”Why don't you just take it out by yourself?” I wondered why he called us here for this sort of thing. Could it be that the statue was too heavy to lift?
”No,” Long Fei quickly waved his hand, ”If this Immortal Tying Rope is taken out just like that, it will be completely useless, and it'll be an ordinary rope. Only with Formless Donations being poured into it will it truly be an Immortal Tying Rope.”
“What is Formless Donations? What is that thing?” I asked, at the same time looking at Liu Shuai who had the same doubtful expression.
”Huh?” This time, it was Long Fei's turn to be surprised, ”Don't you know about the Formless Donations? It is a very important thing for immortals. ”
