Chapter 6 The Woman in the Dream

After this strange incident, the attention of the Bureau of Anomalies Investigation (full name: Bureau of Abnormal Phenomena Investigation) was firmly fixed on Bu Fan. It seemed that he was suddenly pulled out of his ordinary life overnight and was involved in a bizarre world.

Bu Fan was full of doubts and uneasiness. He always felt that an ancient woman appeared in his dream. Those experiences beyond common sense made him unable to sleep at night. He always felt that there was some unsolved mystery entangling himself.

So, he made a decision to go to the nearby ancient Taoist temple with a long history and seek the help of the old Taoist priest who was rumored to be able to communicate with ghosts and gods and solve confusion.

The Taoist temple is hidden among the mountains and forests. Ancient trees tower into the sky. The morning bell and evening drum permeate a kind of tranquility that transcends the secular world.

Bu Fan stepped on the bluestone steps. Each step seemed extremely heavy. There was both expectation and uneasiness in his heart. Pushing open the mottled wooden door, a faint smell of incense came. He took a deep breath as if he could temporarily forget the distractions of the outside world.

After passing through the front hall, Bu Fan followed the guide to a side room. This room was obviously not as spacious and bright as the front hall. It seemed a bit dim, as if it had been forgotten in a corner by time. The light in the room was dim yellow, giving people a hazy and mysterious feeling.

Entering the room, Bu Fan's gaze was immediately attracted by an ancient offering table in the center. The Sanqing statues were enshrined on the offering table. Incense was burning and smoke was curling up, filling the entire room with a serene and solemn atmosphere. In such an environment, people can't help but feel a sense of awe.

However, in this tranquility, Bu Fan's attention was involuntarily attracted by a hanging scroll on the side. This scroll seemed to have existed for a long time. The painting paper was slightly yellowed, but the pattern on it was still clearly visible.

The scroll vaguely outlined the figure of a woman. Although the lines were simple, they revealed endless sadness and beauty.

Her posture was graceful, as if telling an unknown story.

Bu Fan quietly stared at the woman in the scroll, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in his heart.

He wanted to know who this woman was? Why did she leave such a sad figure here?

Does this scroll hide some secret? All kinds of questions welled up in his mind, making Bu Fan more and more curious about this place.

"This is the purpose of your trip."

An old and deep voice suddenly rang out, like a thunderbolt exploding in the ear, interrupting Bu Fan's thoughts. He was shocked all over and quickly turned around, his gaze falling on the doorway not far behind him.

An old Taoist priest with white hair was standing there quietly, like an ancient sculpture. The traces of years were deeply engraved on his wrinkled face. His eyes were as deep as an abyss, as if they could penetrate people's hearts, making people can't help but feel a sense of awe.

Bu Fan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his throat seemed to be tightly locked by an invisible force, and it was difficult to make a sound. The old Taoist priest smiled slightly, walked into the room, and his steps were steady and powerful. Each step carried a kind of heavy breath, making the whole room become solemn.

"Taoist priest, I... I always feel pulled by some invisible force. There is a fire in my heart that burns so much that I can't sleep at night."

Bu Fan's voice was slightly trembling, but it was difficult to hide his firmness.

Bu Fan finally broke the silence. He took a deep breath and tried to calm the turmoil in his heart, but his voice was still a little trembling.

The old Taoist priest slightly shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous, and then slowly sat on a chair, his gaze never leaving Bu Fan.
