Chapter 66: Accidental Entry
Wu Yan was not polite. He nodded in agreement, took out a brocade bag, and handed it to Zhong Nian Yao. "Dear guest, this is what our master left behind before he passed away. He said he wanted to give it to you."
"Now I'm handing it over to you. I can say that I've completed my mission."
Zhong Nianyao took the sachet handed over by Wuyan and nodded, "Thank you, Master."
"Please do as you please, my dear guest!"
Wuyan clasped his hands together and said, "I will not disturb you, my dear guest. If you want to go to the front hall to burn incense, you can go this way. If you want to go to the back mountain to enjoy the scenery, it will be faster from that side."
After giving Zhong Nianyao directions, Wu Yan left directly.
Zhong Nianyao, who was left there, picked up the cold tea, took a sip, and her fingers unconsciously rubbed the sachet in her hand.
Finally, she opened the brocade bag and found a note on it with a few words written on it.
"When soul and body become one, follow your heart and everything will be determined."
Just a few simple words caused huge waves in Zhong Nianyao's heart.
Soul and body reunited, doesn't this mean that this body is hers? But how is this possible? Could it be that her rebirth in this body wasn't a coincidence? But if this body is hers, then what's the reason for the current phenomenon of soul and body not being in harmony?
Everything was like a fog, shrouding Zhong Nianyao, making it difficult for her to see clearly. She pinched her fingers, but the result was the same: she couldn't see through it at all.
After a long time, Zhong Nian Yao's lips curled up into a beautiful smile. The brocade bag and the note in her hand spontaneously combusted without any fire, but did not burn her hands at all.
Now that you are here, make the most of it.
Although she still couldn't figure out what was going on, since she had come to this world, she naturally had to live a good life. As for the rest, as time passed, the truth would eventually come out.
However, she was quite interested in the silent master. Someone who could predict her arrival and even leave a note must be no ordinary person. It was a pity he had passed away, otherwise she would have really wanted to meet him!
Since they have already come to Wuling Mountain, Zhong Nian Yao thinks that it is better not to waste it and must take a good walk around.
There were many things she couldn't figure out right now, so she decided to stop thinking about them. She stood up and headed straight towards the back mountain that Wuyan had pointed to.
She was not interested in the people burning incense and praying to Buddha in the front hall, so she decided to go and take in the scenery!
Soon, Zhong Nianyao arrived at the back mountain.
The scenery on the back mountain is very beautiful. Although it is summer, there are green trees and shades. Not only is there no trace of heat, but there is also a cool and comfortable atmosphere.
However, there are still quite a few people here, and since it is Sunday, there are even more people. Many of them are families who come here to play together.
Because it was a bit noisy, Zhong Nian Yao walked towards a more secluded place.
Unconsciously, she was getting further and further away from the crowd. As she walked, she realized something was wrong. She found herself going in circles.
With an interested smile on her lips, Zhong Nianyao murmured to herself, "Interesting! Someone actually set up a formation here."
She couldn't help but feel curious. Wuling Mountain had always been a tourist attraction in the imperial capital, with many people enjoying hiking and breathing in the fresh air during their holidays. Buddhists would even come to burn incense on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.
It's safe to say this place is quite popular. While Wuling Mountain isn't exactly well-traveled, it's pretty much there. I never imagined there was such a hidden gem.
That’s right, it’s a hidden place, hidden by a formation.
However, this small formation really couldn't trap her.
After closing her eyes, Zhong Nian Yao thought for a while, then opened her eyes again and began to observe the surrounding environment carefully.
Soon, a bright smile appeared on her lips, and she began to walk. Her steps seemed very casual, without any pattern.
However, as she walked around casually, the originally unchanging environment was quietly changing.
But in just a moment, Zhong Nian Yao saw that the surrounding environment was completely different from before.
Taking a deep breath of fresh air, she couldn't help but sigh, "The spiritual energy here is really rich!"
She felt like she had stumbled into a paradise. Before her was a large manor, filled with rare species of flowers, plants, and trees rarely seen outside. In the center of the manor was a villa that looked European in style.
The surrounding scenery was truly beautiful, but what attracted her most was the rich spiritual energy here. She didn't know how the owner of this place had managed to gather most of the spiritual energy from Wuling Mountain here.
It could be said that standing here, every breath of air made her feel comfortable all over. She felt as if all the pores in her body had opened up, greedily absorbing the spiritual energy here.
At this moment, a voice directly broke Zhong Nianyao's thoughts.
"Who?"
An old man walked out of the manor, his face full of vigilance. Even when he saw that Zhong Nian Yao in front of him was just a little girl, he did not let down his guard.
"Who are you? How did you get here?"
Seeing the old man's alert expression, Zhong Nianyao smiled innocently, "I was just strolling around and ended up here! However, I never imagined that there would be such a place on Wuling Mountain!"
Although the old man in front of him had white hair, it could be seen from his steady and light footsteps, as well as the subtle murderous aura emanating from his body, that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Such a mysterious manor, such an unfathomable old gatekeeper, who is the owner of this manor?
It really makes people curious!
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's answer, the old man's vigilance did not decrease at all, and his tone was still bad, "Hurry up and leave, this is not the place for you."
He absolutely couldn't believe that the little girl before him had truly stumbled in unintentionally. The formation set up by the master couldn't possibly have gone wrong. So the only problem must be with this little girl.
