Chapter 61

  The sky is clear and blue, with thin clouds untainted. The distant mountains are veiled in a light mist, and the gentle breeze brings warmth. Today is a perfect day for an outing.

  Lin Qingyu and the thirteenth Fu Jin Zhao Jia sat in the carriage heading to Tan Zhai Temple, with different emotions.

  Thanks to the smooth grinding last night, she took her out to see a vampire and successfully eliminated him. This trip was really rewarding! Not only did it broaden my horizons, but also after returning at night, I accidentally realized that my cultivation had increased a bit. Although I couldn't make her break through a small stage, the purity of the spiritual energy was much higher, making Lin Qingyu's mood very good, which lasted until today.

  Zhao Jia's mood was a bit complicated, making her truly sleepless that night! Firstly, she worried that she had told Fourth Sister about the 'mummy' incident and feared that Fourth Sister would be scared at night, feeling guilty. Secondly, when could she have a baby like Hong Yao's little nephew? As a result, in the morning, there were two shallow black eye sockets around her eyes, which could only be covered up with thick powder.

  So, in the morning, Zhao Jia saw Lin Qingyu and couldn't believe her eyes. The fourth sister actually had a rosy complexion and didn't look like she had lost sleep at all. Until they got on the carriage and drove for a long distance, Zhao Jia was still thinking about the secret behind this.

  The horse carriage may not be as fast as a car, but it's not as slow as one might imagine. Lin Qingyu felt like she had only dozed off for a moment, and before she knew it, they arrived at Tan Zhe Temple, how quick!

  Returning to Tan Zha Temple, also known as Xi Yun Temple, this familiar place made Lin Qingyu sigh endlessly. The first time she came, she was still a young girl who had not yet married Cloud Ying, but now that she has returned, she is already someone else's wife, it's really true that the years are unforgiving!

  Good grief... Do you have to sigh like that? You're making yourself sound like you're seventy or eighty years old! You're clearly not even twenty yet! What about those people whose hair has already turned white, how can they bear it?!

  As soon as the carriage stopped, Lin Qingyu's heart began to stir restlessly, unlike the calmness of her first visit. This time, she had a sense of urgency, constantly urging her to hurry in. In her mind, it was as if several fleas were jumping around, making her scratch her cheeks and itch.

  "Fourth Sister, what's wrong?" Zhao Jia looked at Lin Qingyu with a puzzled expression, her eyes filled with concern. "Is something uncomfortable? I should have brought a doctor out too, don't know if there are any doctors in the temple?"

  "Cough... I'm fine!" Lin Qingyu heard this, her throat was blocked, and she felt a bit embarrassed. Seeing the worried and concerned look on her thirteenth brother's face, she quickly clarified: "Maybe it's just that the temperature is a bit high! On New Year's Day, after getting off the horse carriage, I'm just a little uncomfortable."

  Zhao Jia felt the breeze on her face and thought it was just right. Why did Si Niang think it was too hot? Although she found it a bit strange, Zhao Jia attributed it to individual differences in sensation and didn't dwell on it. By then, Lin Qingyu had already regained his composure amidst her puzzlement.

  Two people stepped up the stairs one by one, the solemnity and dignity unique to the temple, the smoke of incense burning in the wind, and the distant sound of bell ringing and low chanting voices came face to face, giving people a spiritual cleansing.

  However, Lin Qingyu's emotions, which had been calmed down with great difficulty, became increasingly urgent and anxious as he approached the temple gate step by step.

  Last time she came, she didn't have this feeling, Lin Qingyu guessed it should be related to her current cultivation. With that in mind, Lin Qingyu became somewhat expectant, wondering what kind of strange encounters and gains this trip would bring.

  Perhaps it's because of the unknown! So, it's even more exciting, even more anticipated, even more nervous, and even more gain and loss.

  Lin Qingyu tried to ignore the intense heartbeat, and followed Zhao Jia's family to rest in the guest room, drank some tea before following the guidance of the reception monk to make an offering and make a wish.

  In the 21st century, Lin Qingyu was an atheist. However, she first encountered transmigration and rebirth; later, she also obtained a strange fate, cultivated her true self, and became immortal after crossing the calamity. Therefore, although she still did not believe in gods and Buddhas filling the sky, that humans have souls, reincarnation, and past lives were personally experienced by her.

  Under the solemn statue of Baoxiang, Lin Qingyu's restless heart miraculously calmed down. The distracting thoughts that had been swirling around her all scattered away at this moment, and with a clear mind, Lin Qingyu sincerely prayed for blessings.

  Lin Qingyu's wish was simple, she hoped that Ama and E'niang would be healthy, her brother and sister-in-law would be harmonious and happy, Yu'er would find a suitable husband in the next selection, the triplets and their own little treasure would grow up happily, and finally, she hoped that Yi Zan and she...

  What she hoped for, Lin Qingyu didn't know either, her heart was in a haze. Was it hoping that Yongzheng could be with her as a couple for the rest of their lives? Or was it hoping to hold hands with him and grow old together? Or perhaps it was hoping to ascend with him and become immortal companions?

  Finally, regarding Yinzhen and her, Lin Qingyu still didn't wish for anything, everything went with the flow, leaving it to time to decide!

  The two of them each got some peace charms, and Zhao Jia felt a bit tired. After all, as a noble person who was used to luxury and extravagance, she had set out early in the morning and it was already quite an achievement that she had made it this far. So, at Lin Qingyu's suggestion, they went to rest in the guest quarters' meditation room.

  After Jiayou left with the monk, Lin Qingyu touched her suddenly rapid heartbeat and quickly walked outside.

  Lin Qingyu walked forward according to her intuition and didn't realize until she arrived at the destination that she had unknowingly come to the Longtan behind the temple.

  Unlike before, today's Longtan is shrouded in a layer of white fog, adding a lot of mystery to it. There's a feeling that makes one want to explore and find out more.

  Lin Qingyu's feeling was even stronger, her heart felt like it was going to jump out, letting her know that the thing that had been urging her to come here must be at the bottom of this Dragon Pool. Feeling the dense spiritual energy emanating from the entire pool, Lin Qingyu's curiosity was almost bursting forth, making her want to dive down and investigate.

  However, just standing by the pond, Lin Qingyu, as a cultivator, was shivering all over. This shows that the temperature of this dragon pond has already dropped to a certain extent.

  Whether to jump or not, Lin Qingyu was somewhat hesitant!

  Jump! Just the temperature of the pond is enough to make one hesitant. Not to mention, there are other unknown dangers in the pond that can't be known. Don't jump! Clearly knowing that there's treasure in the pond, and this strong premonition mustn't be an ordinary thing. This feeling of having something right before one's eyes yet being unable to get it is really frustrating!

  Although the baby was good, it didn't have a life, and no matter how good it was, it was useless! Lin Qingyu thought for a moment, although she felt a little reluctant in her heart, but still gave up. Just as she was about to retreat and go back, a stronger feeling than ever before came: if she didn't go down, she would definitely regret it!

  Finally, Lin Qingyu gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and jumped down with a determined heart.
