The carriage stopped at the gate of the quarter; Chen Yi paid the fare. As he led Donggong Ruoshu off the carriage, the sun was already leaning westward, stretching the shadows of the quarter wall long. The words Iron Abacus said about the Golden Immortal Temple before parting were still swirling in his mind.
According to Iron Abacus, the Golden Immortal Temple has a rather ancient origin, tracing back to the time of Emperor Ruizong of Tang. He established the temple for his eighth daughter, Princess Xining, to enter the Dao and founded a Quanzhen Daoist Temple, which was said to have flourished at one time. Ordinary people do not know such legendary stories, not even which emperor of the Tang Dynasty this was, but he abdicated in favor of a very famous son, who was Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.
The Golden Immortal Temple continued for over a hundred years into the current dynasty, but about a hundred years ago, it was thoroughly abandoned by order of Emperor Zhaowen.
