“Butterfly, butterfly? Why are there butterflies in here?”

The young man’s eyes froze slightly, and he looked at the butterfly that flew out of the wooden box with some doubts.

Colorful, completely different from ordinary butterflies,

He remembered very clearly that after returning from the bamboo forest yesterday, the wooden box had never been opened again, and it was impossible for that little Taoist priest to have the opportunity to put this butterfly in it.

And even if he put it in, what’s the point? Let yourself break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, and let go of the past?

But just when the young man was full of doubts, the butterfly flapped its wings and flew towards him quickly.

Little bits of phosphorescence flew around, and in an instant, it was as if half of countless stars had fallen, enveloping him completely.

Immediately afterwards, the young man noticed that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed. The girl’s room disappeared, and the outside yard and the spring rain drifting in the sky were also quietly replaced by an endless desert.

The sun was shining brightly, and the entire desert was undulating, which gave him 12 indescribable familiarities.

“Jingxuan, don’t run around, Master can’t keep up with you…”

Just when the young man was wondering why he came to the desert, a voice mixed with some vicissitudes came over from behind the sand dunes not far away.

After hearing this voice, the youth’s figure trembled like a sieve like a lightning strike.

Subconsciously, the young man ran towards the hill, and saw two figures, one big and one small, shuttling through the desert.

In front of him was a child of seven or eight years old, wearing a navy blue Taoist robe. He looked innocent and cute, and he even felt a little familiar.

It’s just that when he looked towards the figure behind him, the young man stayed there directly, with a complicated look in his eyes, and his eye sockets became rosy unconsciously.

“Master…”

A choked voice came out of his mouth, and the young man’s eyes were fixed on the old Taoist priest with a hunched figure.

It’s been so many years, the young man can’t remember how long he has been, and he hasn’t seen this figure again,

The wrinkled cheeks and mottled hair were exactly the same as he remembered, and it seemed that there was no change at all.

Even the old Taoist priest looked at the child in front with a look of love and concern.

“Master!”

Unable to bear the excitement in his heart, the young man walked towards the old Taoist priest, but after his voice drifted out, it seemed that something intercepted him, and he couldn’t reach that kind old man at all.

Even when he came to the side of the old Taoist, the old Taoist walked past him as if he didn’t see it.

“Master!”

The young man stretched out his hand, trying to grab the old Taoist priest, but his arm passed through the old man’s body without any hindrance at all.

It was as if what was in front of him at this moment was just a fantasy, except for voices and shadows, they didn’t have real bodies.

“Why? Why is Master ignoring me? Is he still angry with me?”

The young man’s mood became a little depressed. He watched the old Taoist priest and himself walking towards the distant desert step by step.

He felt very uncomfortable, and big tears kept falling from the corners of his eyes.

Just as the girl once said, the old Taoist priest was his only family member and the one who loved him the most.

It’s just that at the beginning he watched the old Taoist priest helplessly, turned around and walked to other places, farther and farther away, until he was completely wrapped in a tornado and disappeared from this desert…

Some despondent young people followed the two figures, one big and one small, and unknowingly came to the outside of a Taoist temple.

Still the same as before, this Taoist temple still hasn’t changed in any way.

The blue bricks and gray tiles, and even the gap on the gate are exactly the same as before!

Looking at this Taoist temple that has stood in the desert for hundreds of years, the young man’s eyes showed a little reminiscence.

He had dreamed countless times, and dreamed that he had come back, but it was not as real as it is today, as if he had really traveled through time and space, and came to this place where he had lived for 8 years, this place that haunted his dreams place!Everything is still the same as before, without any change at all, even the tea trees and gourd vines in the Taoist courtyard are still the same as before, with dry branches constantly shaking in the wind and sand.

In the Great Hall of the Sanqing, the incense that the three statues, whose appearances could no longer be seen clearly, were still enshrined in was enshrined in the middlemost position.

There was only one incense burner and merit box on the altar table. Two injections of green incense were slowly burning, exuding a little bit of incense, which made him feel very familiar!

At this time, the old Taoist priest and the former him had returned to the Taoist temple and started preparing their lunch.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and the sun was hanging at the highest place in the sky.

The young man reached out and touched the incense on the altar table. This time, his hand finally didn’t pass through directly, but he clearly felt the touch of the incense.

“Father of the Sanqing Dao, my disciple Jingxuan has returned, I implore the Dao Patriarch of the Sanqing to let the disciple and the master meet…”

The young man took the incense and put it into the incense burner respectfully. Then he held the Sanqing Jue in his right hand, knelt on the futon, and prayed to the three god statues in the hall.

He once hated the old Taoist priest and loathed this place, but when he saw this place, the guilt in his heart kept coming out of his heart 700 times.

Although there is nothing in the desert, and the life in this Taoist temple seems to be very poor, there used to be people who cared about him the most, and there were people who loved him the most.

It’s just that so many years have passed in a flash, but that person has disappeared here…

“Jingxuan, hurry up and wash your hands, it’s time for us to eat…”

The old Taoist’s voice came over again. The young man turned his head and looked outside the hall.

I saw the figure of the old Taoist priest, who appeared in the courtyard outside at some point, greeting his former self.

“Master…”

The young man raised his hand, wanting to touch the old Taoist priest again, but just like before, his hand passed through the old Taoist priest’s body without hindrance.

Silently, he stood in the backyard, watching the old and the young, sitting in the dining hall and eating.

The only chicken leg was put in his bowl by the old man.

In the desert, there are no supplies. This chicken leg seems to be all the old Taoist can give him.

“Master, you eat too…”

“Master has already eaten, look at the bones are still here…”

The old Taoist pointed to the bone pulled out from the chicken leg on the table.

The young man knew that it was just pulled out from his chicken leg, but it’s a pity that he didn’t understand this in the past…
