章 753: A Sleepless Night (Part I)

There was a simple and unadorned Taoist temple in the depths of the quiet mountain forest. Behind the Taoist temple lied a reflecting lake, and beside the lake lied seven thatched cottages covered with straw tops which looked like gold and jade.

A turquoise robe flashed above the lake water, to later reveal the figure of the Abbey Dean beside the lake.

One thatched cottage lying beside the lake had already collapsed halfway, with the golden straw all around the place. A scarlet-ink Classic could be seen underneath, along with some calligraphy stationery.

The Abbey Dean wore a slight cold look on his face while looking at this scene.

A middle-aged Taoist was standing beneath a green stone beside the lake, with a fly whisk resting on his arms and a pale-grave look. It was not until he had seen the Abbey Dean show up that he began to become somewhat relieved. He said wearily, "I pay my respects, Senior Brother."
