"Hey! Where did you come from! Get out of the way—"

Suddenly, she heard a voice driving her away. She woke up and found herself standing under a pomegranate tree. The eunuch also shut up suddenly, his eyes widened, staring at her feet, as if something extremely terrible had happened.

She looked down following the eunuch's gaze and saw that her feet were stepping on a fallen flower. The flower bud was flattened by her and her flower skirt was torn.

The eunuch's face suddenly changed. He looked around, bent down, picked up the withered flower from under her feet, and was about to put it in his pocket. He stopped and put it in his mouth instead, swallowing it in one gulp without blinking. After doing this, he seemed to calm down a little, and cursed at Xuyu in a low voice: "You suicidal bastard! If someone sees you, you can die, but don't hurt me! Get out!"

Another flower fell. The eunuch didn't even bother to scold her, and immediately turned around to sweep the flowers again.

Xuyu calmed herself down, and after some hesitation and wavering, she finally followed the indescribable subtle feeling in her heart at the moment and walked into the gate under the pomegranate flowers.

She followed the crowd around her, walking aimlessly from street to street, passing by the Imperial College, Baiyun Temple, and other streets that she had never been to before, but which crisscrossed each other and seemed familiar. Before she reached the corner, she seemed to know what the scenery would be like in the next moment.

In her mind, the thing that had been in chaos for a long time seemed to be transforming into a pupa, gradually gaining blood and energy, forming bones and flesh, with only the outermost layer of skin still wrapped around it.

Just one more time, and it will flap its wings and dash out...

The Star View.

She stopped in front of the female nun temple called Zhanxing Temple, and the gleam of inspiration in her heart that she was about to capture disappeared again.

She was confused again.

As if it shouldn't be like this.

This shouldn't be a nunnery. But if it wasn't, she couldn't figure out what it was...

Under an elm tree by the roadside, the flower seller's basket was filled with a few leftover peony flowers, each of which had just been carefully sprinkled with water, and the flowers were delicate and red, very beautiful. As dusk approached, the flower seller wanted to finish her sales and go home early. She saw Xuyu staring at the Nuguan Temple and smiled and called out to her.

"Young man, come and buy one! Even if I don't give it to you as a gift, it's good to keep it as a companion while reading. Maybe you'll be inspired to write a good article! A flower costs two cents, if you want it, I'll sell you two flowers for two cents!"

Xuyu walked over, took out the money and put it down gently.

"Does Am know where this place used to be?"

The flower girl smiled and took the money.

"This is a blessed place! It used to be the Ding Prince's palace, and it was the residence of the current saint before he was crowned a saint!"

"Why has it become a female crown temple now?"

"Young Master, you just arrived, right? No wonder you don't even know this."

The predecessor of this female Taoist temple was not only the residence of a saint, but also its name, which had a history. "Zanxing" was the title of the little princess in the former palace.

Prince Ding and his Princess Yin were a perfect couple, and they loved each other deeply. Prince Ding loved the little princess like a pearl. Unfortunately, things are unpredictable. When the little princess was four or five years old, a turmoil that shook the world occurred. When Chang'an fell, Prince Ding was leading troops to suppress the rebellion and was out of reach. The poor princess was chased by the rebels on her way to the west with the little princess, and unfortunately died. The little princess also lost her whereabouts.
