Chapter 218: Tracking
Wandering Man accepted Qin Sang’s respect with a calm smile. He took a sip of wine, holding his cup as if lost in thought for a long while. After some hesitation, he finally asked, "Brother Qin, when you met Jixin… how was he doing?"
"Daoist Jixin is a man of great compassion, willing to live in poverty, healing and treating the poor. When I sought refuge at Qingyang Temple, it was a year of disaster. Refugees from the north flooded south, famine and death were everywhere. Daoist Jixin gave out medicine without charge, saving countless lives…"
Seeing Wandering Man’s interest, Qin Sang recounted everything he had witnessed at Qingyang Temple in detail.
He held deep admiration for Daoist Jixin, who truly embodied the spirit of a compassionate heart willing to shelter and comfort all.
Qin Sang knew he couldn’t live up to such ideals himself, but it did not stop him from respecting those who could.
"He did well," Wandering Man said as he nodded, a look of relief washing over him.
"Daoist Jixin passed on the tradition you left behind to a disciple named Ming Yue, who was also a bright and kind-hearted person. However, before I left the Great Sui, I visited Qingyang Temple one last time. By then, Daoist Jixin and Ming Yue had left the temple to escape the chaos of war. But now, more than forty years have passed…"
Qin Sang’s expression turned somber.
Time spares no one.
