Chapter 257
Mo Yao brought out a pair of new shoes for Yao Yu, just as he was about to help Yao Yu put them on, he felt something was wrong.

She compared the new shoes on Yao Yu's feet, wondering why, "The servant girl said why the girl's shoes are worn out so quickly. Girl, are you growing taller? Your feet are growing too. The shoes we brought , I’m afraid you won’t be able to wear it.”

Yao Yu stood up and made a gesture with Zimo, "It seems to have grown taller."

Mo Yao said anxiously, "Where can I get new shoes for you here in the wilderness?"

Yao Yu took the shoes from Mo Yao's hands and put them on her feet, "Let's make do with it first. We'll talk about it when we get to Beiliang."

In the end, I don't know if my feet are swollen from walking, or the new shoes are too tight, and I have been stuffed in the rain for a long time but I can't get them in.

Yao Yu made a bitter face, "Could it be that I want to go to Beiliang barefoot..."

At this time, Yun Daosheng stared at Yao Yu expectantly.Yao Yu sighed, "Okay, tell me."

Only then did Yun Daosheng open his mouth and said, "About one mile further on, there should be a celestial master's house. Might senior sister insist on going there?"

Zimo immediately bent down, "I'll carry you."

Seeing that Mo Yao and Yun Daosheng were both looking at her, Yao Yu was suddenly a little embarrassed.

But Zimo hugged Yao Yu's leg with his backhand without hesitation, put Yao Yu on his back and walked forward.Mo Yao and Yun Daosheng quickly followed.

What Yun Daosheng said was correct, as expected, after walking for about a mile, he saw a few thatched huts on the side of the road.

In front of the thatched cottage, there was already a person waiting to look around. When he saw Yao Yu and his party, he immediately returned to the thatched cottage to report.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so Taoist priests in shabby Taoist uniforms walked out of the thatched cottage, and walked quickly towards Yao Yu and the others.

Yun Daosheng clasped his fists at the person in front and said, "I heard the sacrificial wine, I haven't seen you for a few years, are you still in good health?"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Daosheng, you have grown a lot taller. The last time I saw you at the Celestial Master's place, I was only as tall as the old Taoist. Now the old Taoist will look up at you."

Yun Daosheng bowed slightly when he heard the words, "Master told me to come to see you before he came. Master said that you have worked hard these years. If you hadn't insisted here, the way of heavenly masters in Xiqin and Beiliang would have long since disappeared." re-existed."

Wen Jijiu sighed, "We have been here for many years but with little success. The kings of Western Qin and Beiliang both advocated Buddhism and did not even allow us to enter the city to preach. We can only build charity houses by the side of the road. Follow the teachings of the heavenly master, and give porridge and medicine to the poor. It's just..."

Hearing the sacrificial wine, he showed helplessness, "The number of people who are willing to offer sacrifices to the charity house has been decreasing in recent years, while the number of refugees who have come to the charity home to seek protection has increased. If this continues, it may be difficult to sustain."

Yao Yu looked at the patched Taoist robes covered with the sacrificial wine, and thought of the great monk in Bingling Temple wearing silk and satin cassocks, and felt a little sad in his heart.

Kou Qianzhi once asked Yao Yu whether Taoism should become the world's largest religion.

At this time, Yao Yu firmly believes that if one sect is dominant and the other sect is about to fall into the predicament of hearing the sacrificial wine, then no sect or theory should really be the only statement in the world.

Buddhism crosses people, doesn't Taoism cross people?

They are also crossing people, so what does it matter what religion they believe in?
For the first time, Yao Yu took out a pack of gold leaves from his pocket and handed it to Yun Daosheng, "We didn't bring much out this time. Let's take it to them for emergency."

"Who is this?" Wen Jijiu looked at Yaoyu on Zimo's back and asked Yun Daosheng.

He only heard news from Kou Tianshi that Yun Daosheng was preaching in the north and would pass by here in the near future.

In the past few days, they have been taking turns guarding outside the thatched cottage, for fear that Yun Daosheng will be missed.

Yun Daosheng hurriedly introduced, "I was negligent. This is Immortal Fairy Qiu Chi, who is also the new heavenly maiden named by Emperor Wei. Immortal Fairy is a member of Taoism just like us, so she will walk with me."

He then said to Yao Yu and the others, "This is the leader of my Tianshi Dao in the northwest, smelling the sacrificial wine."

Wen Jijiu hurriedly said, "Recently, I often heard passing caravans mention the supernatural powers of Immortal Fairy, but I didn't expect to meet them by chance. Disrespect and disrespect. It's just...how did you get someone to carry you? Could it be that the monks of Bingling Temple hurt you?" you?"

Yao Yu was embarrassed to say that her feet had gotten bigger and she couldn't fit her shoes, so she just said, "The shoes are broken, and we didn't bring any needles and threads. I'm planning to find a place to repair them."

Hearing the sacrificial wine, I was quite moved, "Immortal Fairy is reluctant to throw away her own shoes, and even donates to us. Wuliang Tianzun, you really have a compassionate heart just like the legends."

Zhao Yu was very embarrassed, she just said it casually, how could her personality be sublimated?
Hearing the sacrificial wine, he led the four of them into the thatched hut, and invited Yu to see that although the interior was poorly furnished, it was still clean and tidy.

Since they had no money to buy desks and beds, the people inside just spread straw mats on the ground to rest.

Most of the people who come to the shelter for help are refugees with yellow faces and emaciated faces.

Northern Liang and Western Qin fought, and many villages on the border were implicated.They did not dare to stay in the village, so they had to escape.

"Some have starved to death." Wen Jijiu said, "The ones who are alive are lucky. The two countries ceased fighting the day before yesterday, and we only got some food. Otherwise, let alone them, we would not be able to persist. Thanks to Dao being born to you, you became famous once you debated, but the King of West Qin was outraged."

Wen Jijiu was talking, and two other Taoist priests brought a bowl of water to each of the four.Hearing the sacrificial wine, he said with a wry smile, "The food just ran out, so you should drink some water to cushion your stomach."

The four of them took the water and drank it, and Yao Yu asked Mo Yao to take out the dry food they brought and share it with everyone.

"No, no, no." Wen Jijiu said to stop him, "You have to go north to preach, and the road is still far away. We have given us dry food, what do you eat?"

Yun Daosheng also gave Wen Jijiu the salt and dry food he brought, "It's only a day's journey from Guangwu City. We have a letter of recommendation from the host of Bingling Temple. I think they won't embarrass us. When we arrive in the city , just exchange it for some food.”

"One more day!?" Yao Yu exclaimed suddenly, she looked at her feet that were only wearing socks, she couldn't let Zimo carry her on her back for a day.

Seeing Jijiu, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Immortal Fairy, we have a lot of people here, and those women who escaped from the disaster know how to needle and thread. Our Taoist robes are also thanks to their help in mending. I'm sure they can also mend your shoes."

Yao Yu smiled wryly, "It may not be enough just to make up for it...you have to make up for it..."

Yun Daosheng interjected at the right time, "What are your plans after hearing the sacrificial wine? If Xiqin and Beiliang still don't let you enter the city, do you plan to live in this thatched hut forever?"

Wen Jijiu sighed, "Before the war, there were caravans passing by here from time to time, and we could exchange some things with them. After the war, even the caravans stopped coming. The Heavenly Master sent a message, let us go to Dawei... I We are getting old too, after we help these refugees get through this winter, next spring, we plan to set off for Great Wei."

If Wen Jijiu leaves, the Tao of Heavenly Masters will no longer have a foundation west of the Xia Dynasty.It's just that seeing these disciples living a precarious life, Yun Daosheng really couldn't ask them to stay...

　Guangwu is now Wuwei City.
