The stolen magic is a bit magical

Chapter 3 Legends of the Ancient World

The next day, early morning.

When Second Uncle went up the mountain, his footsteps were brisk, and he was obviously a little nervous, but when he saw Lin Xiaosu standing on the platform in good condition, his face immediately relaxed: "Nothing happened last night, right?"

"Uncle, what kind of a hell is this place? Last night... something really happened last night...something really came out from down there. It was a seven or eight foot long earth snake. Fortunately, Hu Ya is very fierce and in a few moves, she threw the snake so hard that it couldn't even recognize itself."

Second Uncle listened to this thrilling story, his face remained calm: "That's it?"

"The land lady is seven or eight feet tall, how can you be so calm, second uncle?" Lin Xiaosu did not mention another more explosive thing, because he didn't know how much his second uncle knew about the "skylight".

"When the zodiac changes, the heaven and earth split, and the qi is abnormal, it is not surprising that any strange things will appear. Last time, a butterfly as big as your chicken appeared. Fortunately, it was a butterfly. If it was a mosquito this big, I might be dead. Okay, at least nothing happened." said the second uncle.

"But this...what is going on? This is totally unscientific..." Lin Xiaosu scratched his head lightly.

"Liulin Temple has a mystery. The former temple master, Taoist Lu Yun, said that this is the 'gateway' that connects to the ancient world. If you are lucky enough, you may see the 'skylight' open and see some magical things that you would never have thought of."

Skylight?

Lin Xiaosu's eyes flickered: "Uncle, have you seen it?"

"I have been in charge of Liulin Temple for 23 years. During this time, I have experienced 17 changes in the zodiac. Every time, I sat at the center of the formation and looked up at the sky without blinking. However, I could not see the skylight."

I looked up but couldn't see the skylight.

You are not going down!
Lin Xiaosu asked: "What about Taoist Lu Yun? Has he seen it?"

"He is a blind man, but don't underestimate him because he is blind. He is more amazing than normal people..."

The previous abbot of Liulin Temple was Lu Yun, who had arrived at Liulin Temple before liberation.

The connection between my second uncle and Liulinguan was due to my second aunt's illness. My second aunt had congenital anemia and was originally unable to have children, but she had a very good relationship with my second uncle and wanted to have a child for him, so she got pregnant despite the risks.

Before giving birth, she suffered heavy bleeding and was sent to the county hospital. The doctors in the county hospital were horrified when they saw the scene and didn't dare to admit her. They asked them to send the baby to the provincial capital overnight. However, no one could guarantee whether the baby would live or die on the road which was hundreds of miles away. Just when the second uncle was getting anxious, Taoist Master Lu Yun came and smiled: "It's just a minor illness. Come to Liulin Temple!"

My second uncle and second aunt slept in this Taoist temple for one night.

No medicine or injections were given, and the bleeding stopped after a night of sleep. On the third day, Li Diandian (Lin Xiaosu called her Huya) was born here, and her loud cry shook the entire forest.

And Second Aunt's long-standing illness actually got better.

It was Taoist Master Lu Yun who saved my second uncle's wife and daughter. From then on, I believed in Taoist Master Lu Yun as if he were a god.

More than 20 years ago, Taoist Master Lu Yun traveled around the world. Before leaving, he asked his second uncle to take good care of Liulin Temple. More than 20 years have passed since then. During these years, there has been no news from Taoist Master Lu Yun, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive.

"Uncle, have you told...the higher-ups about the matter at Liulin Temple?"

Above, of course, are the relevant government departments.

Second Uncle was very depressed. “I told you before, when that mutant giant butterfly came out last time, I was worried that next time a mosquito as big as a reed chicken would come out and cause some disaster, so I told the people above me twice… The first time, they just laughed and told me not to spread feudal ideas. The second time, my goodness, four or five people in white coats came and almost took me to a mental hospital.”

"I understand!" Lin Xiaosu nodded gently: "Put yourself in his shoes. If I pass the civil service exam and get a job in a public institution, and suddenly a mysterious old Taoist comes and tells me this kind of nonsense, I might do the same thing."

Second Uncle gritted his teeth and said, "So, you will definitely fail the civil service exam this time!"

"Uncle, I'm going to take the exam in a month. It's fine if you don't give me some blessings, but you're cursing me?" "I'm not cursing you, I just hope in my heart that you can't pass...really!"

Lin Xiaosu rolled her eyes: "I finally understand why Second Aunt is nagging. If you get along with people like this, who wouldn't nag? She didn't beat you to death, even if she is virtuous..."

"No, Xiao Su..." The second uncle came closer and showed a flattering smile: "How about you stop taking the civil service exam and come to help the second uncle guard this temple? We don't want you to guard it alone. Let's arrange shifts. You guard the even days and I guard the odd days."

"Don't even think about it!" Lin Xiaosu interrupted directly.

"How about you come and stay for one night every weekend, and let me go back to accompany your second aunt... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Your second aunt's problem is actually that she has too much energy, and she can't stand being separated from her for a long time." The old face of the second uncle turned a little red.

Lin Xiaosu’s eyes widened, damn!
He seemed to have really touched the root of Second Aunt's illness.

The root of this problem, if expressed in modern terms, can probably be called "young couples' hormone syndrome," which rarely occurs in people in their fifties.

But my second uncle and second aunt are different. They are old, but stimulated by the ghost energy of the past, their body functions are still young, and my second aunt also has needs. My second uncle has lived in Liulin Temple for many years, and the couple live separately. My second aunt is always "thirsty". This thirst cannot be cured by others, but my second uncle's treatment is immediate. My God, what is this? It turns out that the method you gave to my second aunt is this...

The second uncle continued to work: "Living in Liulin Temple is actually good for you. Your body will be free of all diseases. When you reach my age, you will know how great the benefits are."

"Uncle, why don't you bring Auntie over?"

"Your second aunt got her illness here. She can't enter Liulin Temple."

Now the loop is closed.

Second Aunt’s “thirst” was not actually a disease. Her real disease was that she had over-replenished her Qi and blood during her confinement at Liulin Temple. Her Qi went astray, causing her to have wild thoughts and always thinking that Second Uncle had someone else outside…

Once you enter Liulin Temple, the spiritual energy from below will seep in and your condition will get worse. If you’re not careful, you’ll really become a mentally ill patient with a healthy body.

Lin Xiaosu's eyes flickered: "Second Uncle, I have a good idea."

"you say……"

"How about we develop this place into a sanatorium? Open it to the public... Think about it, there are so many rich people in the world who have everything but are afraid of death. If they knew that they could get treatment by staying here for one night, it would be a huge source of wealth. Even the door panels wouldn't be able to stop them. Do you still need to force me to do something? You can collect entrance fees during the day and take a helicopter down the mountain to spend time with Second Aunt happily at night..."

"You, what can I say about you? You are stupid, but you do have some business sense. You are smart, but you don't understand the seriousness of the situation!" The second uncle shook his head gently: "What do you think this place is? This is the connection point of the other world, or the sealing point. I dare not even mention Diandian and your second aunt. Why? Because I am worried that there are too many people and if some kind of restriction is triggered, the other world will come, which will be a catastrophe!"

Lin Xiaosu was shocked: "Triggering the ban, the alien world is coming? Is it really possible?"

"What Taoist Lu Yun said will come one day, but I don't know when it will be."

"Are there any signs?"

"Yes, there are the zodiac changing day, the zodiac splitting day, the equatorial evil day, the equatorial shining day... But I can only deduce the lowest zodiac changing day. He mentioned a day of no way disaster. If that disaster comes, all seals will be broken at the same time, the folded space will be completely opened, the earth will expand a hundred times and a thousand times, our current city will be divided into countless isolated islands, strange beasts will run rampant, abysses will be everywhere, demons will stare, and the righteous path will no longer exist..."

Lin Xiaosu felt a slight chill on his back.

Second Uncle also had a serious expression.

"Uncle, when will the next Zodiac change date be?"

"One month later, April 13th."
