Chapter Summary
Just when Gu Weimian was about to ask when they would arrive, the little monk pointed towards two wooden doors not far away. "arrive." Gu Weimian looked towards the two wooden doors. The old monk who was originally sitting in the middle of the room suddenly raised his head slowly.
It took about five minutes to walk.
Just when Gu Weimian was about to ask when they would arrive, the little monk pointed towards two wooden doors not far away.
"arrive."
Gu Weimian looked towards the two wooden doors.
Her heartbeat inexplicably quickened.
A little bit excited, but more nervous.
Nervousness about the unknown.
She walked up and gently pushed the door open.
Gu Weiman's vision was unable to adapt to the light in the room.
It took her a long time to get a clear picture of the situation in the room.
The moment she saw clearly, she was startled by the skinny figure sitting motionless in the middle of the room.
The person sitting cross-legged on the mat with his head slightly lowered made no sound from beginning to end and did not move at all.
Gu Weiman's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
It looks like... is he dead?
Her face was tense and she stood there without moving.
Neither retreat nor go in.
I was just about to turn around and ask the little monk.
The old monk who was originally sitting in the middle of the room suddenly raised his head slowly.
"You're here."
His voice was hoarse and unclear, as if something was rolling in his throat.
The sudden words frightened Gu Weiman so much that his heart tightened.
It's even scarier than not speaking before.
She frowned, but finally walked in quickly without fear.
"Abbot."
The host raised his head with difficulty.
The eyelids that had been drooping finally opened a little.
There seemed to be a layer of white mist on his eyeballs.
Gu Weimian looked at him, somewhat doubting whether he could see clearly.
His gaze was fixed on the direction where Gu Weimian was, and then he sighed deeply.
"You're late. I can't help you."
Gu Weimian's pupils shrank.
After a second, she lowered her eyes and asked the abbot in a calm voice,
"Master, do you know why I came?"
The abbot's face, which was covered with wrinkles, showed an expression that seemed to be neither smiling nor crying.
"Isn't the greatest wish of a guest from afar to return home?"
Gu Weimian's expression gradually froze.
She looked at the abbot.
The abbot also looked at her motionlessly.
Although looking up, it looks like a Buddha who sympathizes with the sufferings of the world.
Gu Weimian clenched his hands.
Before she could make a decision in her heart, the abbot had already spoken.
"This time, I didn't let go of my greed and wanted to test the ancient books left by the predecessors of Nanshan Temple, which led to this consequence."
He sighed softly.
"Those ancient books are in the cabinet next to you. Take them all. I don't know the way back, so you have to rely on yourself."
Gu Weimian stood there, somewhat unable to believe that the abbot could be so easy to talk to.
She frowned.
Do you want to believe it?
At the moment she hesitated, the little monk's voice suddenly rang out.
"Abbot, Abbot!" He ran in. "Mr. Huo is here."
Upon hearing this, Gu Weiman's face suddenly darkened.
Huo Yan?
Earlier in the restaurant, he was still discussing his wedding.
At that time he also said that he was going out.
No matter how you look at it, you should seize the time and spend more time with the bride you are about to marry, right?
What are you doing here?
All her muscles tensed up, and she took a step back, looking at the old abbot suspiciously.
The abbot noticed it and looked towards Gu Weiman.
"He came to me, but he still wasn't willing to give up."
