A small courtyard covering an area of more than 100 square meters, like a small courtyard in the east of the imperial capital.
Behind the yard is a shadowy hillside planted with green bamboos. The bamboo leaves sway in the night breeze.
Under the eaves in the yard, several lanterns emit dim light, making the entire yard even more gentle and peaceful.
There is a breeze blowing outside the yard.
But once I entered the yard, it was as if all the sounds around me were blocked out. I could only hear the footsteps along the way and the steady, strong beating of my own heart.
Lu Changchuan couldn't help but hold his breath.
"Master, Huai Miao is here to see you..."
Just stopping at the stone steps outside the door, Huai'an lowered his head and reported.
"Let her in."
An old voice sounded, "Take him to have tea, and leave me to talk to Huai Miao."
"yes."
Huai'an responded and turned to look at Lu Changchuan, "Donor Lu, please follow me..."
When she looked up, she saw Wanwan smiling and nodding at her. Lu Changchuan nodded, turned around and followed Huai'an.
Ye Wan looked at the closed door, walked slowly forward, and gently pushed the door open.
In the dormitory of more than ten square meters, there is nothing except a bed against the wall and a desk by the window.
It was exactly the same as when she left.
The only exception was the old monk sitting on the bed, whose eyebrows had turned a little whiter.
“Master…”
As Ye Wan walked forward, his knees went weak and he knelt in front of Master Juekong.
Master Juekong smiled kindly. When he looked at Ye Wan, it was not as if he was looking at his most mischievous and willful disciple, but more as if he was looking at his most beloved granddaughter. "You came back with your son-in-law?"
"My disciple is unfilial..."
"If you were unfilial, you wouldn't have arrived so soon."
Master Juekong smiled and said, "I originally thought of not telling you, but I was afraid that after I passed away, you would vent your anger on Huai'an and the others. Look, you have been down the mountain for so many years, but there are still legends about you in the temple. You are really an amazing senior sister."
The master clearly said everything, but between the lines, it was all a farewell as he was about to pass away.
Ye Wan lowered his head, his eyes a little red.
Ten years ago, if the master had mentioned the word "passing away", Ye Wan would have definitely jumped up and shouted, "Old monk, if you dare pass away, I will burn down Yunwu Temple and bury you with me!"
Then, under the helpless gaze of Master Juekong and being chased by his fellow brothers and sisters, he ran around the temple.
The peaceful and harmonious Yunwu Temple became more lively and bustling because of the unique female disciple.
Thinking of the scene at that time, Master Juekong showed a kind smile on his face, "Ah Miao, I have already told Huai'an that after I pass away, Yunwu Temple will be handed over to him, but the treasure of Yunwu Temple will be handed over to you."
"Although Master doesn't know what's going on outside, Master believes in your ability. With your ability, you will be able to protect this token and complete its mission."
As he spoke, Master Juekong took out a palm-sized black wooden box from under his pillow and handed it to Ye Wan, "Keep it."
When the box was opened, it turned out to be a fan-shaped token.
Together with the three tokens given to her by Elder Dai, Elder Qin, and Elder Luo, as well as the round token from the Ye family, they can just form a big circle.
Presumably, the pattern on the back of the token can also be pieced together.
Seeing Ye Wan take out the four tokens from the pocket of his overalls, which would attract collectors and antique lovers wherever they appeared, Master Juekong's eyes and mouth twitched.
