Although the Taoist and Buddhist abbot had the same title, they had very different functions. The Buddhist abbot was one with the highest position and power in the temple and was in charge of the temple’s affairs, whereas the Taoist abbot’s main responsibility was to preach scriptures. The Taoist abbot was like the senior professor in the Taoist temple, but the person with the highest management power was the overseer. Mr. Chardon, who was wearing a Taoist robe, looked up at the gate of Cohmer Temple for a moment, then entered the gate. The entire Cohmer Temple was divided into three courtyards, namely the front, middle, and the back. Only the front yard was open to believers and pilgrims. There were several halls here, especially the Trinity Hall, which was dedicated to the Three Supreme Gods of Taoism.The middle and the back yard were the internal areas of Cohmer Temple where the abbot and disciples lived and studied Taoism.Whether it was Charlie, Mr. Chardon, the mysterious
Mr. Chardon followed the young Taoist priest to the reception hall in the middle yard of Cohmer Temple. This was the reception room in Cohmer Temple which was specially used to entertain abbots and overseers from other Taoist temples or pilgrims who had made great contributions to the Taoist temple. After asking Mr. Chardon to wait here, the young Taoist priest hurriedly ran to report this matter to his master. In Cohmer Temple, most of the people who stayed in the front yard for a long time were junior Taoist priests with relatively low qualifications, so they were tasked with maintaining order among tourists and believers in the yard while cleaning, maintaining temple statues, and sorting out tributes. Therefore, if the young Taoist priest wanted to report news to the overseer, the message had to be conveyed through layers, and the number of levels of transmission was more than the young Taoist priest had expected. Twenty minutes later, an old man in a Taoist robe who was sur
Over the years, he had returned to Oskia several times with different identities, but he had never returned to Cohmer Temple. This was because he did not want his disciples in Cohmer Temple to find out that he had discovered the way to longevity. In his opinion, he had gone through all kinds of hardships before he could finally enter the path to Taoism, so this secret must not be known to anyone who knew him, including those people at Cohmer Temple. He chose to come to Cohmer Temple today because he could not find any clues about Vera’s whereabouts after all this time. The British Lord had kept urging him to go to Aurous Hill. He could delay for three to five days but not three to five months. According to the British Lord’s temper, he would definitely give him an ultimatum in another two to three days at most, so Mr. Chardon had no choice but to find some helpers to help him uncover Vera’s whereabouts in Oskia.However, he had never built up his own power in the Qing Eliminat
Mr. Chardon nodded, sighed, and said, “I’m already a hundred and fifty-six years old this year.”“A hundred and fifty-six years old?” Samadius said with a longing look on his face, “You don’t even look like you’re fifty-six years old…”Mr. Chardon said calmly, “These are the gains after mastering Reiki. I have lived for three centuries; the nineteenth, twentieth, and the twenty-first. I will no longer have any regrets in this life if I can live to the twenty-second century.”Samadius was startled. He knelt down to the ground again and groveled before Mr. Chardon as he pleaded, “Master Coldie, please teach me the method to longevity! If you agree, I’m willing to follow you for the rest of this life and be at your disposal! I’ll abide by all your requests without any hesitation at all!”It had been more than seventy years since Samadius had entered the Taoist Sect, and at this moment, he was in the same state Mr. Chardon was when he first left Cohmer Temple. He had been practicing
When Mr. Chardon heard Samadius’s eager expression of sincerity, he nodded and smiled with satisfaction. Everything was developing according to the direction he had planned.As far as Mr. Chardon was concerned, he had never been a good person. Aside from working hard without complaint in front of the British Lord, he had never even reached the most basic courtesy of ‘keeping his word’ when it came to others. In fact, he thought about using Cohmer Temple’s connections and resources to find Vera’s whereabouts when he first arrived in Eastcliff, but after careful consideration, he felt that it would not be worth it to expose his true identity just to take advantage of Cohmer Temple. Not to mention whether Cohmer Temple would be able to help him find clues about Vera, but if news about a Taoist priest who was born in the 19th century and had practiced Taoism in Cohmer Temple for decades was still alive, it would inevitably bring him unnecessary trouble once word about this matter spre
After saying that, Samadius asked again, “Master Coldie, do you have any general clues about this girl? For example, where she might be?”Mr. Chardon shook his head and said, “I don’t know where she is, but I personally speculate that she is most likely in Oskia. Therefore, it would be best if you could gather a group of your disciples and let them travel all over the country to search for her!”Samadius nodded and said, “No problem, I’ll make all the arrangements now!”Mr. Chardon nodded slightly and said, “Okay, I’ll leave this matter to you, then. Remember to inform me as soon as possible as soon as you discover any clues.”“Yes, Master Coldie!” Samadius quickly agreed. He then asked Mr. Chardon, “By the way, Master Coldie, the people waiting outside are all my juniors. If you can teach me the method for longevity in the future, can you share the method with them as well? They are all loyal disciples of Cohmer Temple, and they have devoted themselves to Cohmer Temple for so many
Mr. Chardon glanced at Samadius, who stepped forward immediately and said in an unquestionable tone, “Ferris, Mr. Chardon has something important to do, so no one is allowed to interfere or delay him! Mr. Chardon already told me what you want to know about, and I will convey everything to you word for word later!”After saying that, he warned, “But let me say something in advance. If anyone delays Mr. Chardon’s important matter, that person will not have a chance to pry into the method to longevity!”Everyone had grave expressions on their faces, and no one dared to ask any more questions. Ferris, who was called by name, was flustered as well and said, “Have a safe trip, Mr. Chardon!”Everyone reacted immediately and said in unison, “Goodbye, Mr. Chardon!”Mr. Chardon stroked his long beard and walked away gracefully. Just as everyone was about to come out to see him off, Mr. Chardon said without looking back, “Everyone, just stay put. There is no need to see me off.”After Mr.
That night, Mr. Chardon sat on the ground of his temporary residence with his legs crossed. He seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed, but he was, in fact, calculating when he would be leaving for Aurous Hill.He suddenly received a notification on his cell phone, and it turned out to be the British Lord who wanted to speak to him.He unlocked his cell phone immediately, entered the special software, and connected with the British Lord. The British Lord’s cold voice sounded over the phone, “Mr. Chardon, I asked you to go to Aurous Hill to find out the whereabouts of Curtis Wade’s son. Why haven’t you gone yet?”Mr. Chardon quickly explained, “British Lord, I had some ideas, and I would like to report them to you!”The British Lord said coldly, “Speak up!”Mr. Chardon said respectfully, “British Lord, I’ve always had a feeling that Vera might be in Eastcliff, so I have been looking for clues about her in Eastcliff over the past two days. As for Aurous Hill, as you mentioned
