Acai's Sky

Chapter 897 The Little Nun Going Down the Mountain 39

Ah Cai and his companions took a leisurely stroll, enjoying the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. Every time they arrived at a place, they were immersed in it and couldn't help themselves.

What is amazing is that they seem to be protected by gods and can always cleverly avoid the imperial guards sent by the emperor to search for Ah Cai.

At the same time, she completely ignored the paper crane that Taoist Fusheng sent to Xu Ming Temple to summon A Cai back to the temple.

She paid no attention to these calls and continued to roam freely among the people.

Ah Cai's footprints are everywhere, whether it is the winding paths in the countryside, the bustling streets in the city, or the noisy restaurants and teahouses, as long as there is a lively place, she will go there with great interest.

Sometimes, she would have an idea and transform herself into a traveling doctor, setting up a free medical consultation stall. She would use the Taoist medical skills she had learned in Xu Ming Temple to carefully diagnose and prescribe medicine for patients, helping them to get rid of their illnesses and relieve their pain.

Sometimes, she disguised herself as a fortune teller and set up a divination stall. With her keen insight and the six divination methods she learned from Xu Ming Guan, she pointed out the direction for people and helped them avoid disasters.

Sometimes, Ah Cai would dress herself up as a wealthy person and distribute porridge and money at the city gate to bring warmth and help to poor families.

...

Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

The beads on Ah Cai's abacus clattered and spun, and ten years passed by her fingertips faster than the candied haws strings in front of the City God Temple.

At this moment, she was curled up on a bamboo chair by the window on the second floor of the inn, her feet swinging and knocking on the floor, fiddling with an abacus in her left hand and holding half a piece of uneaten osmanthus cake in her right hand. The cuffs of her Taoist robe were still stained with the herbal juice she had applied when she applied medicine to Old Man Wang this morning.

00541 was like a curious child, squatting beside Ah Cai's abacus, staring intently at her nimble hands.

I saw Ah Cai practicing using the abacus with great concentration, and there seemed to be a faint Taoist aura lingering around her.

"Host, I just heard from other systems in the system community that our once-in-a-century regional war is about to begin. I'm afraid we have to go back in advance and make some preparations." The voice of 00541 suddenly sounded in the study, causing her to frown slightly.

"Only more than thirty years have passed, and the system panel still cannot be opened. We are still in exile. How can we go back?" A Cai said helplessly.

00541, however, didn't care. It jumped up and down with a smug look on its face. "Why should we be afraid of such a trivial matter? Soon the system will notify all players level and above to be prepared. Then we can just wait in the system mall!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Da was immediately intrigued. "Guarding the mall? Will there be a lot of good stuff on sale? We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity. We must grab it all!"

However, 00541 rolled his eyes as if he were a fool. "You're wishful thinking. They'll only lift the system seal for our host after others have snapped up all the good stuff."

Tong Jiayuan, who was standing on one side, was quite familiar with the plane's regional battlefield. He said thoughtfully, "According to the host's expertise in allocating the battlefield, we need to recruit more generals, and ideally, form a more organized army like nesting dolls."

After hearing this, Ah Cai's face was filled with worry. "No, those who go to the battlefield must be at least level 60. The level of our newly recruited heroes is far from enough!"

Tong Jiayuan tapped the table with his finger. "We can have them swap guards with the Space Marines from Wangyou City and several other garrisons. We're heading to the battlefield, and we need someone to protect our home."

Aunt Rong casually said, "Miss, why don't you go to the past and present planes to get supplies? Isn't there a [Time and Space Tracing Manual]?"

Ah Da nodded in agreement, "It would be better to go to the Midu Immortal Cultivation Realm to purchase supplies. There are abundant products and many secret realms there!"

"Host, host!" The electronic sound of 00541 suddenly exploded in the sea of ​​consciousness, startling Ah Cai so much that her hands trembled and the abacus beads rolled to the corner of the table.

This ball of glowing data stream is now lying next to the rosewood abacus, and excited ripples are appearing on the surface of the round light spot. 00541 has just returned from the system community and has not had time to put on the skin.

"Why panic?"

Ah Cai licked the osmanthus crumbs on her fingers and tapped them lightly on the abacus. The Dao rhyme transformed into a golden stream of light, sucking the falling beads back into place. "The exile system panel is locked tightly. It will take a hundred years to unlock the teleportation function. Now we—"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ah Er's loud voice. The boy was squatting in the corner of the room counting the copper coins he had just smuggled from the pawnshop. When he heard the words "System Mall", he immediately jumped up and said, "Is the mall going to have a limited-time discount? This time, let's buy out all the beauty creams in the mall!"

00541 was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The light spot "whoosh" flew over Ah Er's head and circled around. "Can you, a money-grubber, please be serious? Didn't you hear Chief Tong just say that battlefield positions will be assigned based on specialization? We only have four main professions, and we're not sure where they'll be assigned."

"Zizila" the door of the room opened.

Rong Mama pushed the door open, carrying freshly cooked medicinal porridge. On her sleeves were still stained with a few thousand-year-old ginseng leaves that had leaked out of the space bag. "The other day, I treated Li the Hunter's leg injury. The golden medicine I prescribed was more effective than the one we found in the Xu Ming Temple's warehouse. But Miss,"

She suddenly lowered her voice, glancing at the candied haws stall outside the window. "The Taoist priest Fusheng's paper cranes were circling the roof again this morning. Do you think he could have figured out that we were in Yingtian Prefecture by counting on his fingers?"

Ah Cai paused while biting the osmanthus cake and looked out the window at the bustling street market.

During the ten years, she wandered from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River to the grasslands in the north of the Great Wall, pretended to be a doctor walking around the streets, held up a cloth banner that read "Half-immortal Fortune Telling", and even pretended to be a rich woman in Jiading City for three days. At that time, she exchanged all the gold leaves in the Tong family's inheritance for small change, squatted under the city gate tower and distributed steamed buns to the victims. As a result, the old men who came to collect porridge praised her as the "reincarnation of Bodhisattva".

"Who cares?" Ah Cai stuffed the last piece of osmanthus cake into her mouth, her fingertips quickly moving on the abacus, and the Dao rhyme turned into fluorescent dots floating towards the beams. "The broken rules of Xu Ming Temple should have been changed long ago. I cured 307 difficult and complicated diseases at the foot of the mountain, which is much better than copying scriptures in the temple for ten years. Besides-"

Ah Cai suddenly sat up straight, her fingertips swiping a streak of golden light through the air, revealing a translucent system interface. Sure enough, the previously gray "Regional War" icon was flashing, and small text in the lower right corner read: "Players above level 60 are participating in the Regional War. Registration is about to begin!"

"00541, come here quickly. How do I register? On your host system panel, only the registration option is lit." Acai displayed the panel for everyone to see.

Tong Jiayuan was also using his own board to contact the generals in Wangyou City, to see if Acai could choose a few more generals...
