Chapter 770: Chapter 770: An Increase in Pilgrims

Fu’er saw that Xia Xin was deflated, patted his shoulder, and spoke earnestly, "Kid, it doesn’t matter whether our ancient ancestor is human or not. If not human, then she must be a divine being, but actually, there’s no big difference. You just need to know that she’s Jiaoyang Temple’s ancient ancestor, that’s all."

Xia Xin thought that made sense.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Then do you know why our ancient ancestor was severely injured and went into sealed cultivation eight hundred years ago?"

Fu’er paused, then after a while, shook his head, "I really don’t know. To be precise, no one knows. At that time, Xuanmen was somewhat unsettled, something seemed to have happened. Many disciples and I were out subduing evil spirits, only the ancient ancestor and the patriarch were left in the temple. When we returned, the ancient ancestor was already gone."

Some time passed, and suddenly the ancient ancestor returned, already in a comatose state due to her severe injuries.

Xia Xin asked, "Severely injured and comatose? How did the ancient ancestor come back then?"

Fu’er spread his hands, "Don’t know. Anyway, when we went to clean as usual, the ancient ancestor had already collapsed in her meditation room. It’s possible she went into a coma after returning. The patriarch said that our ancient ancestor’s injuries were too severe, she could only be sent back to Xuanji Mountain to enter sealed cultivation and heal. Who knew that would last for over eight hundred years."

Xia Xin was stunned, sensing that there must be a lot of hidden stories involved.

But now no one knows them.

The ancient ancestor seems to have forgotten many things.

Trying to find out from the ancient ancestor what happened eight hundred years ago seemed to be quite difficult.

Xia Xin couldn’t help but ask Fu’er, "What about what the ancient ancestor said before, that she would leave again, what does that mean?"

Fu’er rubbed his head, "You’re asking me, I don’t know either..."

Xia Xin: "..."

Right.

If the ancient ancestor herself doesn’t know what happened, let alone Fu’er.

"Oh, that’s right." Fu’er suddenly spoke up, eh-ing as if recalling something, "I remember, before the ancient ancestor came back severely injured, during that period, something big seemed to have happened."

Xia Xin immediately pressed, "What big thing?"

Fu’er racked his brains for a moment but then gave up with a shake of his head, "I can’t quite remember... Odd. I remember other events from eight hundred years ago very clearly. Why is it that only this one incident, I can’t recall?"

Xia Xin: "..."

"You’re just getting senile."

Xia Xin muttered under his breath.

Fu’er’s eyes widened, "Brat, are you asking for a beating!"

Xia Xin chuckled, dodged the slap that Fu’er raised, and swiftly ran out.

"Hey, why are you running away! Stay and help me!" Fu’er shouted, frustrated.

Xia Xin made a face at him and then disappeared around the corner.

Fu’er was quite angry.

Just then, someone came to him for a divination consultation.

Fu’er had to turn his attention to the divination.

Elsewhere.

Without giving it much thought, Xia Xin ran into the main hall and saw Jiangli sitting alone on a reclining chair, tea and refreshments placed on a small table beside him, looking completely relaxed and at ease.

Xia Xin walked over, sat down next to him, and explained the reason for the increase in pilgrims.

Jiangli’s brows raised slightly, "Was it Zhu Ming’s doing?"

"It should be, but I think he didn’t mean any harm. He just wanted to please the ancient ancestor," Xia Xin poured himself a glass of water, took a couple of gulps, and then answered.

Jiangli was expressionless, "Creating problems out of nothing."

Xia Xin put down the glass, "Besides Zhu Ming, Master Xiaoqiao has also been tirelessly advertising. Ancient ancestor, it seems our Taoist Temple is really getting popular."

Jiangli waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand, "That’s normal. Our Jiaoyang Temple is the foremost temple of Xuanmen. It’s usual for us to have many pilgrims."
