Chapter 1375: Chapter 691: The Missionary’s Confession
Lin Beichen heard this and his heart couldn’t help but stir. He didn’t expect the people from the Feilun Sect to be so brazen, daring to chase and kill innocents in broad daylight. This made his hatred for Feilun Sect deepen even further.
He looked at the three people in front of him, pondered for a moment, and said: "Stand up. Since you have come here, it is fate. I will take you in. But you must also follow the rules of the temple, do not cause trouble."
The three people listened to Lin Beichen’s words and quickly kowtowed to express their gratitude. They knew they had finally found a place where they could settle down.
Outside Xuanzhen Temple, a young man was kneeling at the front of the crowd, making him particularly conspicuous.
This young man had tightly furrowed brows, as if he had heavy matters weighing on his mind, which made people want to explore the reasons behind it.
After a moment of contemplation, he solemnly kowtowed with a loud sound towards Xuanzhen Temple’s gate, then stood up and said loudly: "I beseech the Daoist of Xuanzhen Temple to save my grandfather; if you can save my grandfather’s life, I will definitely remember your great kindness and repay you well!"
At this moment, Lin Beichen, sitting in the meditation room, also heard the commotion outside the gate. He was filled with doubt regarding this sudden plea for help.
Xuanzhen Temple was newly built and not well-known yet, he had never thought anyone would come seeking its name, let alone such an urgent plea for help right away. There must be a hidden story behind this.
Lin Beichen secretly pondered, deciding to first investigate the truth. He closed his eyes and began to calculate the fate connection with this young man.
This calculation gave him a surprise; it turned out that his destiny overlapped with that of the young man to some degree.
Was this mere coincidence, or was it a destined fate?
Lin Beichen decided not to think further; since fate had brought them together, he might as well meet this young man. Thus, he instructed his subordinates to invite the young man in.
When the young man entered the meditation room and saw Lin Beichen, a glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes. He had originally thought that the Daoist of Xuanzhen Temple would be a venerable elder, but he didn’t expect this Daoist to be so young.
"May I ask, are you the Daoist of Xuanzhen Temple?" the young man asked hesitantly.
Lin Beichen smiled slightly and said calmly: "Yes, I am. I am the founder of Xuanzhen Temple. May I know what urgent matter brings you here?"
The young man, upon hearing this, felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. He knelt down once again and kowtowed three loud times towards Lin Beichen, pleading: "Daoist, my grandfather is gravely ill, please save him!"
Seeing this, Lin Beichen quickly stepped forward to help the young man up, and comforted: "No need to worry, if I can save your grandfather, I will do my best."
Then, Lin Beichen let the young man sit down and inquired in detail about the condition of his grandfather.
The young man, seeing Lin Beichen’s sincere attitude, felt much more at ease and began to explain his grandfather’s illness and the reason they had come to Xuanzhen Temple for help.
"Daoist, my grandfather has contracted a strange illness, his body is growing weaker by the day, and it seems he won’t make it much longer. We didn’t go to the hospital because my grandfather had encountered an expert when he was young." The young man paused, then continued, "That expert predicted a calamity many years later and told him that if he trusted his words, he should come to Xuanzhen Temple and find someone named Lin Beichen, who would be able to save his life."
Lin Beichen, after hearing this, was secretly shocked. He didn’t expect the result of his calculation to align so closely with what the young man described.
It seems that there really is an inevitable connection between him and this young man he has never met before.
He carefully examined the young man, secretly pondering: Perhaps the young man’s grandfather had once interacted with his ancestors? Otherwise, why would their destinies be so similar, and why would they reunite again due to a calamity years later?
With this thought, Lin Beichen asked: "Did the expert your grandfather met leave a name or any keepsake?"
The young man shook his head and said: "The expert didn’t leave a name, only telling my grandfather to remember the name Xuanzhen Temple and Lin Beichen. Daoist, do you think my grandfather can be saved?"
Seeing the young man’s anxious expression, Lin Beichen chuckled lightly and reassured him: "Rest assured, since I already promised you, I will certainly do my best. However, before that, I need to understand more detailed circumstances."
The young man hurriedly nodded and told Lin Beichen all about his grandfather’s illness progression and some family situations. After listening, Lin Beichen already had some calculations in his mind.
At this moment, seeing Lin Beichen silent, the young man couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy. He was afraid Lin Beichen might reject his request, so he hurriedly said: "Daoist, as long as you can save my grandfather’s life, our Zhou Family will definitely repay you heavily."
Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen smiled and shook his head, saying: "There’s no need to be like this; I save people not for reward. If your grandfather can be saved, it’s also because of fate. Now, let’s talk about the main thing. How is your grandfather’s condition now? When shall we set off to visit him?"
The young man, hearing Lin Beichen willing to help, was overjoyed and quickly said: "Daoist, as long as you’re convenient, we can set off immediately. Our car is parked at the foot of the mountain and can leave at any time."
Lin Beichen nodded, turned and gave some instructions to Lan Zihua and Qiao Fan, then followed the young man down the mountain.
