Rebirth: You Save Me with Your Deep Love

Clouds and mists linger on the wet mountaintops, and raindrops brush through the grass leaves. Looking into the distance where the rain curtains cover the sky, the autumn wind also makes people sad. [Note 1]

Chu Tingfeng held an umbrella and followed Xiong Wu, setting foot on the mountain path that Lin Yuze had walked before, and all the way to Yuzhuo Temple.

Looking at the closed, tattered wooden door in front of him, Chu Tingfeng walked forward, knocked lightly three times, then stepped down the stairs, patiently waiting for the person inside to respond.

After going back and forth three times, nearly half an hour had passed, but the person inside still didn't open the door.

Xiong Wu looked up at the increasingly heavy rain, and looked at Chu Tingfeng worriedly, "Master, your legs cannot be exposed to the cold. I will ask the brothers to bring up some thick clothes."

Chu Tingfeng's gaze pierced through the rain and fell on the broken wooden door, firm and persistent, with no sign of moving.

After hearing what Xiong Wu said, he just shook his head and continued to wait in the bone-chilling autumn rain.

Chu Tingfeng waited for a full five hours, from morning to afternoon, from drizzle to heavy rain. Even with an umbrella, he could not stop the splashing water droplets, and his black coat was already soaked.

Estimating that another hour had passed, Chu Tingfeng moved his feet, stepped onto the bluestone steps in front of the door for the fifth time, and knocked on the wooden door once again persistently.

Xiong Wu was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

All the persuasion and words that could be said had already been given, but they could not shake Chu Tingfeng's determination to seek a glimmer of hope from the old Taoist priest.

Looking at the still-closed door and Chu Tingfeng standing in the rain, motionless and almost stubborn, Xiong Wu finally couldn't help but suggested, "Master, how about I jump over the wall and go in to take a look? Maybe the Taoist priest is not in the Taoist temple anymore."

It’s not a good idea to keep waiting like this!

Chu Tingfeng stared at the wooden door without moving his eyes, but there was a subtle sense of fatigue in his voice, "He's here, waiting, don't disturb him."

Thinking of Xiaoyuan's special instructions before leaving, Chu Tingfeng's eyes became more determined.

Until night fell, the heavy rain turned into a drizzle, the chirping of birds could be heard from the mountains and fields, and the city in the distance was already brightly lit by neon lights, but the wooden door in front of him still did not move!

Xiong Wu looked at the man who had been standing there all day, as motionless as a mountain. He pursed his lips, and after thinking it over again and again, he still said nothing.

He then took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to Chu Tingfeng, "Master, take a bite first. I'll ask the brothers down the mountain to bring up some food."

After waiting for so long, Chu Tingfeng was already hungry and cold. Looking at the chocolate handed to him, he took it without saying anything.

He opened the package, cut it in half, put half into his mouth, and handed the other half to Xiong Wu.

During special times, sharing food was a common practice, and Xiong Wu did not refuse.

Perhaps it was because of his sincerity that his wish came true. Just when Xiong Wu was about to notify his men waiting at the foot of the mountain to bring up food, the door in front of him that had been closed for the entire day was finally opened from the inside.

Chu Tingfeng's eyes lit up, and he took a step forward excitedly, making eye contact with the person who opened the door.

The old Taoist priest shook off the dust in his hands. His purple Taoist robe was blown up by the cold wind, making him look like an immortal.

Chu Tingfeng bowed and then anxiously wanted to explain his purpose, but the old Taoist raised his hand to stop him.

"I already know why you are here. But everything has its cause and effect. If you gain, you must give up. Now that giving up and gaining are determined, I can do nothing about it. Please go back, donor."

Seeing that the old Taoist priest was about to close the door, Chu Tingfeng became anxious and did not care about being polite. He stepped forward and held the door frame.

Chu Tingfeng looked at the man with a cold face and pleaded urgently, "I know that the Taoist priest has supernatural powers and can see the secrets of heaven. This time the cause and effect are all my fault, but I have caused innocent people to suffer. I beg the Taoist priest to give me some advice and save my lover's life. Chu Tingfeng is willing to pay any price for this."

After hearing what Chu Tingfeng said, the old Taoist priest who was about to leave stopped and looked at Chu Tingfeng, asking seriously, "Are you really willing to pay any price?"

"Yes, at any price." Chu Tingfeng's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes were firm and unwavering.

I thought that with such determination, the old Taoist priest would come to my aid, but I didn't expect that the other party would act completely out of the ordinary.

After saying "That won't work either", he ignored Chu Tingfeng's pleading, closed the door and ignored the two people outside.

Xiong Wu, who had been following behind, became upset when he saw Chu Tingfeng being treated coldly. He hurried forward to argue with the old Taoist priest, but was stopped by Chu Tingfeng.

"Xiong Wu, this is a quiet place, so you must not be rude."

After Chu Tingfeng finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Xiong Wu and had no intention of leaving. Instead, he held up an umbrella and knelt directly on the stone steps that were wet from the rain and already icy cold to the bone.

"Chu Tingfeng kneels here and begs the Taoist priest to save my lover's life."

These tearful words did not open the closed wooden door, and the old Taoist priest inside the door did not give any response either.

For a moment, the only sound coming from all around was the rustling of wind through the leaves, making the place seem very empty and quiet.

"My master, although he loves to brag, puts on airs, and acts like a god in front of outsiders, he is the softest person and can't stand others begging him."

"If he didn't reject you forcefully at the beginning, but left you hanging or asked other questions, then it means there is still room for maneuver. You must seize the opportunity..."

This was what Xiaoyuan, who was so enchanted by the food that she didn't want to leave, specifically told Chu Tingfeng when he was preparing to visit Yuzhuo Temple.

As Xiaoyuan said, the Taoist priest did not reject her directly, but asked first "Are you really willing to pay the price?", then it is really possible.

Thinking of this, Chu Tingfeng straightened his back and prepared to kneel for a long time.

As long as I can get the Taoist priest to help me, I will die here on my knees and have no regrets in my life.

Xiong Wu didn't expect Chu Tingfeng to suddenly kneel down in front of a closed door. Before he could think too much, he stretched out his hand, trying to pull up the person kneeling in the rain.

"Master, your legs can't get cold, get up quickly..."

However, Chu Tingfeng had made up her mind, and Xiong Wu could not persuade her. She just wanted to call Lin Yuze immediately so that he could persuade her husband.

Seeing that he could not persuade anyone and could not break into the Taoist temple to drag the old Taoist priest out, Xiong Wu turned around twice in a hurry and then knelt down on the steps behind Chu Tingfeng with a plop.

When Chu Tingfeng heard the noise behind him, he finally moved his eyes away from the wooden door.

Turning back and seeing Xiong Wu also kneeling with him, Chu Tingfeng frowned slightly and said disapprovingly: "Xiong Wu, this is my private matter, you don't have to do this."

A man has knees made of gold, so how can he kneel down and beg for mercy easily?

Lin Yuze is the person he loves, and he was implicated by him for no reason, causing physical damage. It is only right for him to kneel down and ask for medical treatment for him.

However, Xiong Wu didn't care at all, and said in a relaxed tone: "If you want to beg for help, one more person kneeling will make your heart appear more sincere!"

Xiong Wu couldn't persuade Chu Tingfeng, and Chu Tingfeng couldn't persuade Xiong Wu either, so the two of them knelt upright in front of the Taoist temple in the freezing autumn rain.
