Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 383: Why Are You Looking for Me?

Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Why Are You Looking for Me?

“Huh?”

Lu Ran felt his blood boiling with excitement.

The ancestral court of Taoism?

Is it really that impressive?

Not long after.

“It’s right ahead, let’s go down,” Cen Yunuo called out to Lu Ran.

She herself couldn’t control the Abyss Bone Dragon.

How the Abyss Bone Dragon flew was entirely up to Lu Ran’s maneuvering.

Lu Ran looked up.

Ahead, amidst the swirling clouds and mist, there indeed was a grand architectural cluster of a Taoist temple, looking ancient and timeless.

Carrying a deep and ancient aura.

Lu Ran couldn’t help but straighten up, hurriedly maneuvering the Abyss Bone Dragon to land on the mountain path.

Wondering if directly flying the Abyss Bone Dragon in would be a bit impolite.

After landing.

Lu Ran looked up along the mountain path.

From a looking-up angle, the scale of this Taoist temple was even more massive.

“Our Longxia also has its own stuff, it’s just that Japan is small, a speck of a place, so it’s expanded quickly, we Longxia are just getting started!” Lu Ran said excitedly.

“That’s one way to understand it,” Cen Yunuo pondered aloud.

“So does this mean that there will be a Daoist profession in the future? But only if the professionals are lucky enough to awaken to it, and the Daoist profession should be quite strong, right?” Lu Ran asked.

“That, I don’t know,” Cen Yunuo shook her head.

Meanwhile.

Her expression turned somewhat strange.

She said nothing more, leading Lu Ran forward.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple.

Lu Ran looked up.

In front of the Taoist temple gate was a plaza, but the plaza seemed to have been unmaintained for a long time, with some areas overgrown with weeds, giving a somewhat desolate look.

But Lu Ran didn’t find it inappropriate.

On the contrary, it gave a sense of mysterious seclusion amidst the mountains.

Looking up.

Above the Taoist temple’s gate hung a huge plaque.

Inscribed with three grand and lively characters: Daluo Palace!

Honestly, Lu Ran’s understanding of these things was quite shallow, so he didn’t know who or what this Daluo Palace was.

But judging by the current setup, it seemed quite impressive.

Just a bit odd.

This Taoist temple is so large, yet there’s no guard or Taoist child at the entrance.

Lu Ran looked around curiously as Cen Yunuo stepped forward and pushed open the temple’s door.

Squeak~

Along with a tooth-aching sound, some dust drifted out from the door gap.

Lu Ran was startled and said, “Goodness, how long has it been since your temple opened? Why is there so much dust.”

Originally intended to lighten the mood.

But as soon as the words were out, it was obvious that Cen Yunuo’s mood wasn’t very high.

Suddenly, Lu Ran felt uneasy and said, “Your temple…”

Lu Ran had words in mind but refrained from saying them.

Cen Yunuo wasn’t troubled by it either.

She pushed the door open, looked inside.

And said, “I know you’re curious, but I’m just as curious. I haven’t been here for a long time.”

Then, she stepped inside.

Lu Ran was increasingly sure that Cen Yunuo was not a normal professional.

The monks from earlier were indeed not speaking nonsensically.

Cen Yunuo’s true identity was not a summoner, nor was she skilled in summoning Molten Rock Big-Eating Flowers.

But a disciple of the Taoist temple!

Nevertheless, Lu Ran was puzzled.

Logically, Cen Yunuo was born and raised in the Imperial Capital and then moved to Jialong City.

If she came from here, she couldn’t have known everything here before she was born, right?

During Cen Yunuo’s growth, this place hadn’t been updated, nor could Cen Yunuo have accessed it.

So…

What does this long absence mean?

Lu Ran grew more bewildered the more he thought.

He looked up, following Cen Yunuo’s gaze, the surrounding architectural cluster was majestic, yet not a soul was in sight.

Cen Yunuo’s face grew even worse.

“All these years, Buddhism has been flourishing while Taoism has waned, it seems the situation is far worse than I imagined,” Cen Yunuo said.

Lu Ran felt a jolt in his heart.

These words sounded like main quest storylines?

But he also knew these people weren’t ordinary NPCs, so this task…

“Maybe it’s created during data-driven assimilation based on the current state? That’s possible,” Lu Ran speculated internally.

Cen Yunuo fluently introduced:

“The layout of Daluo Palace’s buildings wasn’t randomly constructed.”

“But built based on Fuxi’s Eight Trigrams, Four Pillars, Bazi, and the Five Elements of Mutual Generation and Mutual Inhibition.”

“The square pavilion on the left anchors the Qian Position, the main gate of life.”

“Over there is the Three Emperors’ Hundred Herbs Garden.”

“A right turn ahead is the Laojun Cave.”

…

Cen Yunuo introduced in detail.

Lu Ran didn’t quite understand, but he could see that Cen Yunuo was genuinely familiar!

“Where are we going now? Where are all the people? Why can’t I see anyone?” Lu Ran asked curiously.

“I don’t know where everyone is, I hope…”

Cen Yunuo hesitated, shook her head, and said, “Let’s go to the main hall, the Three Pristine Hall.”

She then quickened her pace.

Lu Ran hastily followed.

Soon, the two arrived at the core area of the Taoist temple.

In the distance, the Three Pristine Hall was the core of Daluo Palace.

Lu Ran finally saw a living person.

Though he wasn’t sure if it was actually a living person or not.

On the steps in front of the Three Pristine Hall, there was a worn-out meditation mat with an old Daoist priest sitting on top.

The old Daoist’s Taoist clothes were also tattered.

He was hunched over, breathing heavily; Lu Ran’s footsteps were quieter for fear of startling the old Daoist, worried he might gasp his last right there.

Cen Yunuo’s expression changed.

She hurried forward and said, “Master, how are you?”

Hmm?

The old Daoist priest shook his body, forcing his eyes open, looking at Cen Yunuo before him.

“Yunuo, you’ve returned, luckily I’ve held on, indeed after the data-driven assimilation, you could return, these years, have you been well? Smooth?”

Cen Yunuo’s eyes were red.

She nodded and said, “Everything’s fine, and the person Daluo Palace was looking for, I found.”

She then stepped aside.

No time for idle chatter, going straight to the point.

The old Daoist immediately looked at Lu Ran, his withered expression and cloudy eyes fixed on Lu Ran.

Making Lu Ran very nervous.

What’s happening? Why are they looking for me?

“Good, good, good, I don’t understand your data, but since you’re sure you’ve found them, then that’s settled, and I’m at ease,” the old Daoist chuckled.

Then slowly closed his eyes.

Lu Ran’s heart shook, he looked at Cen Yunuo.

Then at the old Daoist who had slowly lain down.

Awkwardly saying, “Yunuo, my condolences, this teacher’s body is old, unable to hold on, has ridden the crane to the west.”

But before the words could finish.

The old Daoist opened his eyes again, dazed.

“What are you saying, my old bones aren’t leaving that quickly, I’m just resting, sitting for a long time really tires you out.”

Uh…

Lu Ran’s lips twitched.
