The moment the Wordless Monument's Primordial Energy Art appeared, the grass sprouts on Zhou Wen's body immediately stopped growing. Furthermore, they gradually degenerated and soon, Zhou Wen's body returned to normal.
When the three-eyed antelope saw this scene, a look of surprise flashed in its eyes. It stood nearby and sized up Zhou Wen.
Thankfully, the Wordless Monument's Primordial Energy Art works. Zhou Wen heaved a long sigh of relief and turned to look at the path he had come from. He saw that it was still a towering cliff without the door he had come from.
Forget it. I'll find a way out in-game. After all, I have the Wordless Monument's Primordial Energy Art. As long as that antelope doesn't cause trouble for me, I shouldn't be in too much danger for the time being. Zhou Wen subconsciously glanced at the antelope's spot and his heart skipped a beat.
The antelope that had been standing not far away had vanished.
"Meh!" The antelope's cry sounded behind Zhou Wen, causing him to break out into a cold sweat. He turned his head and indeed, he saw the antelope standing behind him, sizing him up with its eyes.
That wasn't all. As the antelope sized him up, it circled him as though it wanted to see his entire body clearly, not missing any detail.
Zhou Wen didn't know what it was up to as he was on full alert. If the antelope really wanted to harm him, he couldn't sit still even if he knew he was no match for it.
However, the antelope had no intention of taking action. It circled Zhou Wen a few times as the puzzlement in its eyes intensified.
"Brother Antelope, let's make a deal. I'll wash that grass and return it to you. How about we write off our grudges?" Zhou Wen carefully said to the three-eyed antelope.
If he had known that the antelope was so vengeful, he wouldn't have dug up the grass.
However, the antelope ignored him and came close to Zhou Wen, nudging him with its head as it walked in.
The antelope's strength was immense. Zhou Wen felt that his strength was completely unable to withstand it. He was pushed by the force and involuntarily walked in.
Countless thoughts raced through Zhou Wen's mind, but he ultimately didn't risk his life to fight the antelope.
The ancient buildings on the golden peak were extremely massive. In the middle was a stone bridge that connected them. Beneath the stone bridge was a lingering sea of clouds. Walking on the stone bridge made him feel like he was walking in the sky.
"Brother Antelope, where are you pushing me to? Can I walk by myself? "Zhou Wen asked.
The three-eyed antelope seemed to understand his words and stopped nudging him with its head. Instead, it bleated at him and walked off in a certain direction.
Zhou Wen knew that his Speed and Strength were far inferior to the antelope's. It was highly likely that the fellow was an Epic creature. It wasn't realistic to escape from it, so all he could do was follow behind it.
The antelope led Zhou Wen through the ancient buildings. After crossing many stone bridges, they arrived in front of a Daoist temple. Zhou Wen focused his eyes and saw the words "Great Pure Temple" written on the Daoist temple's plaque.
Zhou Wen only had a superficial understanding of Daoism, but he knew that the Grand Pure One was one of the Three Pure Ones of Daoism. Among the Jade Pure One, Supreme Pure One, and Grand Pure One, the Grand Pure One was the most famous. The name of Grand Supreme Elderly Lord was probably known by everyone in the East District.
This Daoist temple was called Tai Qing Temple, and the one worshiped within was undoubtedly the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.
"There can't be a living Old Lord Taishang inside, right?" Zhou Wen recalled his encounter at Small Buddha Temple and couldn't help but speed up the circulation of the Wordless Monument's Primordial Energy Art.
The antelope came to the entrance of Tai Qing Temple, but it didn't enter. Its figure phased away, and by the time Zhou Wen reacted, it had already appeared behind him and slammed him into Tai Qing Temple.
Zhou Wen was already mentally prepared, so he wasn't surprised. The antelope definitely wasn't bringing him here for a tour.
After steadying himself, Zhou Wen sized up the situation inside Tai Qing Temple. Behind the door was a huge yard that looked rather ancient. The ground was covered in dust and fallen leaves, as though no one had stepped foot here for a thousand years.
In fact, according to what Zhou Wen knew, before the dimensional storms descended, Tai Qing Temple had a flourishing incense offerings. It had only been a few decades.
"You are a disciple of my Daoist sect. You can choose one of the Three Pure Talismans on the table." An elderly voice sounded from an unknown location. It echoed in Tai Qing Temple as though it came from all directions. It was impossible to tell where the voice came from.
"Yes, Master." Zhou Wen didn't dare hesitate. After bowing, his gaze landed on an offering table in the yard.
After he entered, he saw three talismans on the offering table. They looked completely different. One was like flawless white jade, one was forged from metal, and the last was carved from wood.
The three talismans were only the size of a palm. They looked similar, but the patterns engraved on them were different.
Zhou Wen didn't understand the meaning of the talismans, and his understanding of Daoism was very limited. All he could do was guess. Small Buddha Temple's three-faced Buddha got me to choose a Mythical Companion Egg, but this place wants me to choose talismans. I wonder what use those talismans have? This is Tai Qing Temple. Logically speaking, the three talismans should be related to Taishang Laojun, but that might not be the case. The Three Pure Ones of Daoism are one to begin with. Perhaps the three talismans represent the Three Pure Ones.
If it's really as I guessed, the jade talisman probably represents the Jade Pure One's Heavenly Lord of Primordial Origin. The wooden talisman is related to nature, so it probably represents Taishang Laojun. As for the golden talisman, it should represent the Prime Clear Sect Master of Heaven. Which one should I choose? Zhou Wen was purely making wild guesses. He didn't know if that was the case.
With Zhou Wen's taste, he would likely take the jade talisman, but considering that this was Tai Qing Temple, Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment before taking the wooden talisman.
The instant Zhou Wen picked up the wooden talisman, he saw the light in front of him change. Tai Qing Temple dissipated like a dream. When Zhou Wen saw the scene in front of him clearly, he realized that he had returned to the stone statue of his father riding an ox.
If it wasn't for the wooden talisman in his hand, Zhou Wen would have suspected that he was dreaming.
"Meh!" A sheep's cry sounded beside him. When he saw the three-eyed antelope, Zhou Wen confirmed that everything that had happened wasn't an illusion.
He didn't dare stay any longer. Although Mount Laojun's Golden Peak wasn't as sinister as Small Buddha Temple, it still made Zhou Wen feel apprehensive. He ran down the mountain with the wooden talisman in hand.
When he reached the mountainside, he saw Wang Fei and his classmates. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
"Zhou Wen, I told you to run. Where did you go? Why did you bring an antelope back?" Wang Fei said with a frown when she saw Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen hurriedly turned his head when he heard that and saw that the three-eyed antelope had followed him down. However, the vertical eye on its head had vanished. Apart from being completely white, it looked no different from an ordinary antelope.
