The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Xu Yao was confused by his words. What did it mean to let things take their own course? What did it mean to persuade a damned ghost with good words?

She found that things in this world are always contradictory, and there are always two truths in one thing. For example, some people say that when you encounter difficulties, your fate is up to you, not God, while others say that you should know how to preserve your strength, and you will never run out of firewood.

It seems that both are right, and yet neither is right.

She scratched her head and felt that this thing was really torturous. It turned out that philosophy, Buddhism and Taoism were not something that normal people could learn. They were so fucking torturous.

The old Taoist priest added, "They are going to the south. When they reach Wanzhou City, a general will appear. That person can protect the country and give ordinary people a glimmer of hope. But you can only go north."

Xu Yao was about to refute, but then he thought about it and felt that what the old man said had come true time and time again, and it would seem a bit argumentative if he refuted it again.

She couldn't help but sigh and asked him, "Why would I go north? Didn't you say it's dangerous there?"

Back then, she killed the Queen Mother's left and right arms. Although everyone thought she was dead, if she suddenly appeared alive and was recognized by acquaintances, it would be troublesome.

The old Taoist smiled and said, "Because your Tao is in Beichen."

"What way?"

"You'll know when you go there."

"You're playing tongue twisters with me!" Xu Yao stood up, too lazy to continue talking to him. He wouldn't understand it anyway no matter how much he talked about it.

Xu Yao simply went downstairs to eat as he was really hungry.

Halfway through the meal, Lin Shi came to find her. Xu Yao was sitting under the eaves, looking at the big tree in the yard, eating mutton and thinking about what to do next.

Lin Shi said that there seemed to be a fight in the town at the foot of the mountain, and some civilians had escaped and were heading up the mountain.

Xu Yao was stunned for a moment, then he sighed and shook his head: "Open the door, the master will most likely agree to let them in."

Lin Shi knew that temporary sheltering was fine, but it was not a long-term solution.

There are not so many rooms for accommodation in the Taoist temple, nor enough people to make fire and cook, let alone so much food.

If he had not brought the villagers here that day and prepared a lot of dry food in advance, they would probably have had problems getting food.

What worries Lin Shi even more is that if these people run to the mountain, the Beichen soldiers and the Great Zhou soldiers below will come up sooner or later.

The Taoist temple is full of ordinary people. Wouldn't it be dangerous if they were stuck here?

"At this moment, the only way is to take advantage of the fact that both armies are fighting and take a shortcut south."

The Immortal of the South Sea suddenly appeared behind the two of them, scaring Xu Yao.

"I know you're going to become an immortal soon, so could you please stop walking so lightly? It's really scary if you suddenly jump out."

Even though Xu Yao had very good hearing, he couldn't stand it.

The Immortal of the South Sea walked up to the two and asked them to make a choice.

Should they stay here and wait for the soldiers down the mountain to react and then come to deal with them? Or should they take advantage of the confrontation between the two armies over there and take a shortcut to leave here.

Lin Shi couldn't make a decision immediately, so he decided to go and inform the villagers first.

Xu Yao gnawed on some dried meat and asked the Immortal of the South Sea where he was going.

Nanhai Xianweng said, "Of course I will go north with you. Why don't you want to go with me?"

Xu Yao sighed and said nothing. She went to find the Kang family. It happened that Kang Runyue also wanted to ask her for advice.

Who could have thought that the enemy would come so quickly? They had just come back to rest when a fight broke out.

More and more people are fleeing and running here. Kang Runyue really doesn’t know what to do?

"You should go south with them. There is a way to survive if you go south. Do you know there is a city called Wanzhou in the south?"

Kang Runyue also nodded.

"The old Taoist priest calculated that a general will appear in Wanzhou City who can save the people in the city from danger. Wherever he is, it will be safe. I am afraid that my trip to Beichen will be extremely dangerous and I cannot guarantee your safety. Ah Yue, take your family south."

Kang Runyue felt a little uneasy that Xu Yao didn't go with them, but she also knew that Xu Yao would never leave them because he was afraid of causing them trouble.

This is truly for their benefit.

"Since you know Beichen is in danger, why do you want to go?"

Xu Yao shrugged and said she didn't know either. "The old Taoist priest told my fortune and it was very accurate. You know, several things he told me came true. He said I had to go north to survive. I had no choice but to go to Beichen. Anyway, you go south first. If there is still a chance, I hope to eat your pork elbow again."

Kang Runyue felt sad, and vaguely felt that after this separation, they might never see each other again.

But separation is the norm in life. Kang Runyue wiped her tears and hugged Xu Yao, "Sister, you must be well. The mountains are high and the waters are long, I will pray for you every day."

Xu Yao hugged her, patted her shoulder, and reminded her to stay safe.

I hope she can find a good man and live the life she wants. If she doesn't have a good man, it doesn't matter. Xu Yao gave her two recipes. With this cooking skill, she can support herself.

Kang Runyue was moved by Xu Yao's consideration for her and gave him a jade pendant that she always wore, hoping that Xu Yao would have a safe journey.

When Brother Kang heard that they were going south again, he was hesitant. When Kang's father asked him the reason, Kang Runyue told him everything.

Hearing that it would be dangerous for Xu Yao to go north, they asked them to go to Wanzhou. They sighed heavily, but they also knew that this was the best choice for each other.

The fighting in the town was very fierce. Even though Xu Yao was standing in the Taoist temple, he could hear the sounds of fighting in the distance. People kept coming to the temple.

Xu Yao stayed here to show them the way, as only the people in the Taoist temple knew that path.

The Immortal of the South Sea arranged his disciples to follow these people to the south.

Although those disciples were reluctant to leave, they also kept in mind the words of the Immortal of the South Sea. Monks are supposed to practice Taoism, and guiding others and creating life opportunities is also a form of practice.

Atong was reluctant to leave Xu Yao and Nanhai Xianweng, but Xu Yao didn't dare to let Atong risk staying, so he quietly gave him a few bottles of medicine powder and said, "If you are in danger, sprinkle this powder on the enemy, and a little bit will make them unable to move."

Xu Yao didn't dare to give him poison, fearing that he would hurt himself, and instead gave the poison to several other young Taoists.

The people thanked her, packed up their things and set off, taking the path behind the Taoist temple and soon dispersed.

The Immortal of the South Sea and Xu Yao were guarding the gate of the Taoist temple. Sure enough, people kept coming to look for them. When they saw that the gate of the Taoist temple was open, they saw only two Taoists, one old and one young, sitting cross-legged at the gate.

They looked anxious and said, "We would like to hide here for a while. Can the Taoist priest please give us some convenience?"

Xu Yao shook his head: "This is not a place to hide. Some villagers at the foot of the mountain left from the back of the mountain and went south along a small path. There is still a glimmer of hope in Wanzhou. If you are willing to go, it is not too late to catch up now."

When everyone heard her say this, some were reluctant, while others hesitated and wanted to go. This Taoist temple was too close to the town, and there was no guarantee that those soldiers would not come looking for them.

But they had already walked a long way and were extremely tired. They were afraid that they would not be able to catch up now.

Someone suggested that they could take a break at the Taoist temple before catching up with those people. Xu Yao said, "There are only a few people leading the way, and they have all left. If you don't go now, you may not be able to find the way. But if you want to stay here, you can stay on your own. You can use whatever you want in the Taoist temple."
