Deep in the mountains, a thin body was marching with difficulty carrying a large bundle of firewood.

"Last time Grandpa Lin took me into the mountains and saw that elixir. If I could pick it and sell it, I would have enough money to pay my mother a doctor."

The thin body murmured to herself. Although she was sweating profusely, it could still be seen that her face was very delicate, and she looked like a little girl of five or six years old.

A child of this age cannot carry much firewood. In previous years, the villagers took pity on her and took her into the mountains with her, and helped her carry more firewood down the mountain.

Unfortunately, Grandpa Lin, who was the best to her, died of illness some time ago. Some people in the village secretly said that she was a nemesis who had killed her father, her mother, and even Uncle Lin.

This caused people in the village to subconsciously distance themselves from her and stop helping her, fearing that her bad luck would contaminate them.

Li Chou did not give up because of this, and still went to the mountains to collect some firewood every day.

Day after day, she gradually understood that without the help of the villagers, her daily work would only be enough for the mother and daughter to survive.

She couldn't eat enough every day, and her mother's spirit became worse and worse. This time, she decided to pick the elixir, even though the cliff over there was steep and very dangerous. Grandpa Lin specifically told her before he died,

Don't get close to that place. If you fall, your body will be gone!

Li Chou walked for a long time, and her legs were worn out, but she still refused to put down the firewood behind her. People often came into the mountains in the village, and if someone picked her up, her work would be in vain.

She didn't know how long she had been walking, but Li Chou felt very tired. She gritted her teeth and moved step by step. Finally, she approached the cliff.

At the same time, I could see the elixir from a distance, fluttering in the wind at the bottom of the steep cliff.

A flash of surprise flashed in Li Chou's eyes, and she quickly put down the firewood on her back. When she got here, she was not afraid that the firewood would be picked up. After putting down the firewood, she immediately felt much more relaxed, and she quickly approached the cliff.

Below the cliff was an abyss shrouded in mist, which made Li Chou feel dizzy.

I couldn't help but want to quit.

"No! I can't withdraw! My mother is still waiting for money to save her life. With money, I can take my mother to leave this village and live in the town. That will be good for my mother's health and make it easier to see a doctor."

Li Chou clenched his fists, with determination in his eyes, and walked towards the edge of the cliff step by step.

She observed it for a while and judged that a route was safer. If she could really collect this elixir, she could change her and her mother's fate!

step.

Two steps.

Close!

Big beads of sweat fell from Li Chou's forehead. She clung to the protruding rocks from the edge of the cliff, her feet stuck on the other side. At this moment, she was almost airborne over the abyss.

Soon!

You can pick the elixir right away!

Li Chou showed a hint of joy in his eyes.

Finally, she grabbed the root of the elixir and slowly pulled it out. Such a violent method would destroy some of the efficacy of the elixir, but Li Chou didn't understand this and didn't care about it.

, as long as she can get money in exchange for enough money to treat her mother and enough money for the mother and daughter to move to the town, that's enough!

Li Chou was excited and planned to go back the way she came. At this moment, she didn't realize that the originally clear sky was filled with dark clouds, and the thunderbolts were moving and flickering in the dark clouds like a real dragon!

boom!

A bolt of thunder fell directly in the direction of Qin Tangguan.

The terrifying sound waves swept away in all directions, carrying waves of howling winds.

Li Chou was startled, and then her hands and feet slipped, and her thin body fell directly into the abyss. During this period, she still held on to the elixir in her hand, but her eyes were filled with tears.

Fear, fear prevented her from even shouting.

The strong wind ruffled her clothes, and when she was about to hit the ground, Li Chou recovered from her fear and let out a desperate scream.

Li Chou closed her eyes tightly. She knew that she was going to die. After she died, she would never see her mother again, nor the black dog that kept barking at her ferociously at the entrance of the village. She would not be able to give her anything during the Qingming Festival.

Her father visited the grave and could not visit Grandpa Lin's grave.

"Without me, my mother would starve to death..."

Tears fell from the corners of Li Chou's eyes.

But after half a while, she found that not only did she not fall to the ground, but she was still rising. In the blink of an eye, she saw the cliff where she had accidentally fallen while collecting medicine.

What's going on?

Li Chou suddenly opened his eyes, and what caught his eye was a side face. The owner of the side face was obviously about the same age as her.

She glanced down subconsciously, and then let out a louder scream.

a few breaths later

, Li Chou said with awe: "Are you Bai Wuchang? Am I dead?"

"You are not dead. I am the master of Qintang Temple."

Ning Qi smiled lightly and said: "When I was going through the tribulation, the thunder tribulation scared you and almost made you die because of me. I'll take you to Qin Tang Temple to rest for a while."

"Qin Tang Guan?"

Li Chou was stunned.

She didn't understand the current situation, but it was enough for her to know that she was not dead.

"If I'm not dead, my mother won't have to starve to death..."

Li Chou murmured to himself, then quickly glanced at the elixir in his hand.

Fortunately, the elixir is still there!

Li Chou breathed a deep sigh of relief.

After a while, she felt herself falling on the ground. Ning Qi put her down and said with a smile: "This is Qin Tang Temple."

Qin Tang Guan?

Li Chou glanced at the scene in front of him, and then said with a look of astonishment: "Isn't this the haunted Taoist temple?"

She twisted her neck stiffly, looked at Ning Qi, and suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Don't take me away, don't take me away, I still have a mother to support, if you take me away, my mother will definitely

Will die."

"Why should I take you away?"

Ning Qi smiled lightly.

"You, you are not a ghost...Grandpa Lin said that the Taoist priests in this Taoist temple died overnight many years ago. You said that you are the master of the temple..."

Li Chou looked frightened.

Ning Qi looked at her lightly, then smiled, "I just arrived here not long ago. There is no owner here, so I took over it."

Not a ghost? Could it be a god?

Li Chou looked at Ning Qi blankly.

"Sir, who is she?"

Xiao Yue'er walked out of the Taoist temple. Li Chou saw a little girl of the same age and felt relaxed.

"She just slipped and fell from the mountain. She should be a little frightened. Take her to rest."

Ning Qi smiled lightly.

He wanted to consolidate his newly promoted cultivation.

This time, the lightning disaster almost didn't kill him, but fortunately, he survived it smoothly and condensed the Nascent Soul. At this moment, in his purple mansion, there was a little man who looked exactly like him sitting cross-legged.
