Acai's Sky

Chapter 886 The Little Nun Going Down the Mountain 28

The roof of Pingkangbo Mansion

As night falls, the stars twinkle in the sky, as if covering this ancient mansion with a mysterious veil.

Under the invisibility formation, Ah Cai and her family members sat around an antique sandalwood table, which was filled with delicacies from all over the world.

These delicacies were specially collected by Ajiu from all over the place. Among them are delicacies from mountains and seas that contain spiritual energy, and there are also several jars of ancient spiritual wines that exude an attractive aroma.

The aroma of wine is everywhere, as if it can make people forget the troubles of the world and indulge in this peaceful world.

Everyone raised their glasses, drank, chatted and laughed, as if they were in a pure land away from the world.

Ah Er took a sip of the wine, a look of nostalgia in his eyes as he slowly said, "This carefree feeling reminds me of the leisurely days in Lord Lin's dimension. Back then, sitting on the rooftop every day, overlooking the world, was quite fascinating."

There was a hint of nostalgia in his words, as if those days were long gone, but still left a deep mark in his heart.

Ah Cai took a sip of the homemade spiritual wine, feeling the spiritual energy contained in the wine flowing through her body, nourishing every inch of her meridians.

Her eyes swept across the Bo Mansion leisurely, and she saw shadowy figures in the mansion. The open and secret struggles in the backyard were like a series of human dramas, which made her smile.

She knew in her heart that these disputes were nothing more than the obsessions of mortals, and to her, they were no longer important.

Seeing this, Tong Jiayuan smiled and said to Ah Cai, "It seems that after experiencing the tempering of the illusion array, you have become detached from these trivial matters and regard them as childish play."

There was a hint of approval in his tone, and he seemed to appreciate Acai's calm attitude.

Ah Cai nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Indeed, the people and events in this mansion are nothing but passing clouds to me. The original owner's memory was already shattered, and I don't have much attachment to this place."

Her tone was calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

At this time, Rong Mama filled Ah Cai's glass with spiritual wine and asked curiously, "Miss, why didn't the two Taoist priests at Xu Ming Temple choose to stay in the Taoist temple, but instead stayed in the side rooms in the west courtyard of the inn?"

Ah Er heard this and explained with a smile, "If they stay at the Taoist temple, I'm afraid the spiritual wine will be difficult to preserve."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if he knew the two Taoist priests' "little thoughts" very well.

Ah Da took over the conversation, his tone tinged with sarcasm: "It's not just the spirit wine, there are also those talismans, pills, and even those 'low-quality magic tools' that were stolen. They are all rare treasures!"

There was a hint of joking in his words, and he seemed to be quite clear about the value of those "inferior magic tools".

Ah San nodded in agreement, his tone tinged with doubt, as if puzzled by the question. He then asked, "Low-quality magical tools are mostly used in the mortal world. Why do spirit stones exist in this plane?"

Ah Cai put down his wine glass, his expression solemn. "This plane experienced a devastating war a hundred years ago, and since then it has entered the Age of the End of the Dharma, with spiritual energy gradually drying up. Now, to protect themselves, the major sects have set up restrictions on their spiritual veins and sealed their mountain gates. Our Xu Ming Temple has done the same."

There was a heaviness in her tone, as if she felt regret for that period of history. This experience was so similar to that on Blue Star.

Xiao Yi came close to A Er, he was a little surprised, as if he found the power of the magic array incredible.

While snatching the pig's trotter from his hand, she asked Ah Cai, "Is the illusion array really that powerful? Even with Miss's cultivation at the Spiritual Transformation Stage, she couldn't detect it?"

Ah Cai replied calmly, "That formation is called 'Beidou's Bewildering Illusion'. It was created by the first generation of the temple master, specifically to test each generation of masters. It is rumored that the first generation of the temple master had reached the state of fusion, which is no small feat."

She was a little awed, as if she admired the cultivation of the first generation temple master.

Tong Jiayuan was very interested when he heard this. With a bit of curiosity, he seemed to be interested in the current situation of the first generation master. He asked, "Is this first generation master still alive?"

Ah Cai smiled slightly and said, "Of course he is still alive. He is the founder of our Xu Ming Temple, and we have to burn incense and worship him every day. But he has a strange temper, and he will throw away the offerings on the altar if he is unhappy." She said with some helplessness, as if she was troubled by the temper of this founder.

As they were talking, 00541 flew back from outside and landed its round body steadily on the golden raccoon dog's head.

It glanced at the Earl's Mansion and sighed, "This Earl of Pingkang's Mansion is completely different from the 'Earl of Pingkang's Mansion' in the illusion. There is not a trace of luxury at all." It looked a little disappointed, as if it was dissatisfied with the mansion in front of it.

Ah Cai nodded in agreement: "That's true, the difference is huge. But it doesn't matter, when night falls, we will go down and find out the truth." She was confident and seemed to have a clear plan for the upcoming action.

At the same time, Xiahou Shanhe slowly walked into the study of Uncle Xiahou, bowed respectfully and said, "Father, another Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, but there is still no news from the orphan of the Tong family. I am really uneasy." He looked a little worried, as if he was uneasy about the disappearance of the orphan of the Tong family.

Old Uncle Xiahou stopped writing, his face full of guilt: "Back then, the Tong family entrusted us to raise that child and also sent us generous money and property. But now, due to our negligence, he has lost his soul and even been kidnapped by kidnappers. We are really ashamed of them!" He felt a bit of remorse, as if he regretted his negligence back then.

He became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He suddenly stood up, kicked Xiahou Shanhe, and shouted, "And your disappointing daughter-in-law has brought shame to our Xiahou family! A daughter who has been well-educated is so despicable!" He was a little angry, as if he was dissatisfied with his grandson's daughter-in-law's behavior.

Old Uncle Xiahou was panting and furious: "I have said long ago that the Tong family's property should not be touched without permission, and that the money should be used to raise the child. But what about now? The child's soul is missing, and he is nowhere to be found! If Taoist Qingfeng had not divined that the child had an extraordinary destiny and would achieve great success in the future, I would have punished that stupid woman Du with my own hands long ago!" He looked a little helpless, as if he felt powerless about the situation before him.

Xiahou Shanhe listened helplessly to his father's scolding. Over the years, every Dragon Boat Festival, his father would always mention this matter. Although he felt guilty, he was powerless to do anything.

Uncle Xiahou calmed down his anger and said solemnly, "All the property sent by the Du family will be sent to Du Yanran. We will not take a single cent. As for the Tong family's things, you must not touch them!"

He was quite determined and seemed to have a clear attitude about how to deal with the property.

He knew very well that the eldest son came here because someone in the family was coveting the Tong family's property and was greedy.

However, those properties were not obtained for free, but had a prerequisite - they had to raise the child to adulthood. Now that things had gone against their wishes, how could they have the face to touch those wealth?

He knew in his heart that this property had become a source of worry for the family, and only by finding the orphan of the Tong family could this knot be truly untied.

As the night deepened, the lights in the Bo Mansion gradually went out, leaving only a few lonely lamps swaying in the wind.

Ah Cai and his fellow disciples quietly stood up and prepared to sneak into the depths of the Bo Mansion to explore the secrets hidden in the darkness.

Their figures appeared particularly mysterious in the moonlight, as if they had merged into one with the night.
