      Chapter 139: Blooming Flowers at Dusk

      Chapter 139: Blooming Flowers at Dusk Cover
      by Potato On a winding dirt road, an elderly man, bent with age, held a painting in his arms. He was panting heavily, his hunched body struggling to adjust his breath. "Ha~ ha~ ha~" "My dear... this old man... seems like I can’t walk any further..." The elderly man stumbled forward a few steps before leaning against an ancient tree. Struggling to unroll the painting in his arms, he gazed at the woman depicted in it and couldn’t help but chuckle, “When a person gets old, they really become…

      Chapter 138: Fertile Fields Stay Within the Family Cover
      by Potato Gu Ning’an smiled. “Even if I said I wasn’t tempted, you wouldn’t believe me, so why ask further?” Hearing this, the Bat God lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before speaking: “May I let my disciple carry this out?” “Him? Is there any need?” Gu Ning’an replied calmly. The Bat God forced a smile. “I only ask that you grant him the time of one incense stick...” Gu Ning’an nodded. “Daoist Qingyuan, take the time of one incense stick to decide. If you cannot…

      Chapter 137: Greed for Immortality Cover
      by Potato Gu Ning’an and Daoist Qingyuan each found a cushion to sit on and began discussing Daoism. It seemed as though they had completely forgotten that the purpose of their journey was to find the Bat God. After a conversation, Gu Ning’an learned a lot about Daoism in this world. In this realm, Daoism shared similarities with the one from his past life, but there were also distinct differences. For example, the Three Pure Ones, revered in the Daoism of his previous life, did not exist in this world.…

      Chapter 136: Sanwu Daoist Temple

      Chapter 136: Sanwu Daoist Temple Cover
      by Potato "You don't want to eliminate it, sir?" Daoist Qingyuan asked, his face full of disbelief. Though he didn’t know the full extent of Gu Ning’an’s abilities, this man in the green robe had exuded an air of transcendence and otherworldly grace from the very beginning. How could someone with such a bearing stand by and watch as a wild deity caused trouble, even letting it escape? Gu Ning’an waved his hand dismissively. “No rush. The mud statue here isn’t the Bat God’s true form. Letting it…

      Chapter 135: Divine Manifestation

      Chapter 135: Divine Manifestation Cover
      by Potato The tall, skinny man shoved aside someone kneeling on the central prayer mat and dropped to his knees in front of the Bat God statue. He was dressed in a black hemp robe, with a large dark-red stain on its hem. From his waist, he pulled out a bundle of thick red incense, each stick as wide as an arm. The incense had an unusual sheen and was a brighter red compared to ordinary incense. Clutching the bundle in both hands, the man bent down and lit the incense using the oil lamp placed beneath the…

      Chapter 134: Bat God Temple

      Chapter 134: Bat God Temple Cover
      by Potato It’s not uncommon for spirits and creatures of the wild to establish temples and receive offerings of incense from humans. In Gu Ning’an’s view, as long as such wild deities genuinely perform good deeds for people, it’s only fair for them to be worshipped and offered incense. Of course, in the eyes of orthodox deities, these illicit shrines and cult worship practices are absolutely intolerable. This isn’t merely because wild deities compete for incense offerings, but also because they often…

      by Potato "Alright, that's it for today's lesson on the Book of Songs. Are you hungry? I'll go cook some noodles for you," said Li Fangchang, rising from his desk. At that moment, Tang Zi, Wang Sheng, and Sun De all stood up, approached him, and said in unison, "Teacher, you sit down—we’re going to teach you today!" Hearing this, Li Fangchang smiled. "Oh? You three little ones are going to teach me?" "Did the sun rise in the west today?" Tang Zi tugged at Li Fangchang’s sleeve and grinned. "Teacher Li,…

      by Potato Li Fangzhang ran out the door and searched everywhere for a long time, but he couldn’t find any trace of Gu Ning’an. The villagers gathered outside, those who could still speak, mentioned seeing a man in a green robe leaving with a Daoist. But even after running far in the direction they pointed, Li Fangzhang still couldn’t find Gu Ning’an. When he returned to the Lu family’s wooden house, a group of villagers who enjoyed gossiping was still gathered out front. Earlier, when Li…

      by Potato Everyone followed the direction pointed out by the young Daoist and couldn’t help but look a bit puzzled. “Master Daoist, is there an evil spirit hiding in this teapot?” the honest man asked, disbelief evident in his tone. “What teapot? I was talking about...” The young Daoist turned around and froze in place. He hurriedly leaned over the wooden table, searching frantically while muttering in a panicked voice, “Where is it? Where’s the thing?!” The honest man asked, “May I…

      Chapter 130: Wood Carving Cover
      by Potato The group of gossiping women all looked terrified, glancing at one another. They desperately tried to make a sound, but couldn’t even manage the faintest “mm-mm” noise. The "three little quails" stared wide-eyed in astonishment. Wang Sheng couldn’t help but exclaim, “Good heavens, they really can’t talk anymore!” “Confucius said, ‘The way of Heaven has its cycles; none can escape retribution,’” Sun De quipped with a grin. “That’s enough. Follow me inside,” Gu Ning’an said,…
