Lin Chuan thought perhaps the old Taoist suffered from narcolepsy, that he could fall asleep while talking. So he called out twice, but the old Taoist didn't respond.
Perplexed, Lin Chuan edged closer to the old Taoist and reached out to check his breath.
With that touch, Lin Chuan was startled as the old Taoist had actually passed away.
Seeing the old Taoist had stopped breathing, Lin Chuan hurried out to call for help.
Hearing Lin Chuan's cries, the Taoists from Feiyun Temple rushed over. Among them, the young Taoist who had led Lin Chuan there bowed to him with a sorrowful tone, "Patron, please leave."
Lin Chuan said nothing more, nor did he need to.
Leaving Feiyun Temple, Lin Chuan continued deeper into Kunlun Mountain. Beyond Feiyun Temple, there were no paths, and no travelers either. Lin Chuan let out the two little creatures, Xiao Ling and Xiao Hei.
