C96

Yao Yuan did not know what was inside, so he walked in step by step.

The map seemed to be quite old, and many of the paths were even marked with unclear symbols.

Yao Yuan remembered that when he went to buy the map at the roadside stall, the stall owner had said he wanted the map near Ten Miles Temple.

It was as if Yao Yuan was going to snatch something from him.

After confirming several times that Yao Yuan had bought a map of Ten Miles Temple and not any other maps, the old man finally found a dusty map from the bottom of the box that he had kept for several decades.

"Well, here it is."

Yao Yuan was very happy to receive it, and asked excitedly: "How much is it?"

"It's not money, it's not money. This is for you, as long as you can treat it properly."

At that time, Yao Yuan did not know why the old man had such an expression, but it was only when he heard about the Ten Miles Temple from the driver that Yao Yuan finally understood what the old man felt.

However, even though the grandpa was good to him, this map was unable to keep up with the progress of the times. Many of the maps clearly indicated that the paths had already been covered by endless weeds.

Such a vile environment made Yao Yuan wonder what kind of situation the current Ten Miles Temple was. Such a shabby place, yet a girl would come here?

Yao Yuan began to have a lot of suspicions.

Even though he was skeptical, Yao Yuan still needed to continue walking.

Not long later, Yao Yuan saw an ancient temple.

His intuition told him that this might be the Ten Miles Temple.

Although his Ten Miles Temple was located halfway up the mountain, and was not too far away from the foot of the mountain, because the road was not easy to travel, even in the bright sunlight of the day, Yao Yuan walked for around three hours.

With this departure, it was nightfall.

At first, Yao Yuan thought that he had not seen an outsider for a long time and was merely seeing things, but when he slowly walked towards the Ten Miles Temple, the person who swept the floor suddenly roared, causing him to be shocked.

"Halt!"

The loud and clear voice made Yao Yuan feel as if he was suddenly in another world. After a few seconds, he slowly reacted.

"You are …"

Yao Yuan said carefully, afraid that he would anger this Ground Sweeping Monk.

There had always been a legend about the Ground Sweeping Monk. Ever since a martial arts novel once spread across the whole country, the role of the Ground Sweeping Monk had gradually become more and more popular.

After seeing Yao Yuan's face, the Ground Sweeping Monk slowly said, "Who are you?"

"Hello, I am an ordinary person from the Donghua. I only came here because I heard that someone had followed a girl here."

"Girl?"

"Yes, it's a girl. I don't know who she is, nor do I know her identity, but this person is really very important to me."

Yao Yuan said very sincerely.

After all, the matter of the girl being involved with the winery was even more so related to the business of the Kuntai. As the biggest source of funding for him, Yao Yuan didn't want to see this large tree fall with a loud bang.

"Are you really just an ordinary person?"

The sharp eyes of the Ground Sweeping Monk seemed to be able to directly pierce through Yao Yuan's heart, causing him to be extremely flustered. After thinking for a long time, he still said honestly: "Alright, it's actually not like that, I only know a little bit of martial arts, and it's also because of this that I thought of coming here to find that girl. She knows the secret on me."

From the bottom of his heart, Yao Yuan felt that this ordinary-looking, old man who seemed to be in his teens was a very powerful individual. It was as if he could guess what was on his mind.

Under such strong mental pressure, Yao Yuan could only say what he was thinking.

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

Yao Yuan nodded.

"Let's go in and see if there's anyone you want to find."

Ground Sweeping Monk suddenly took a deep breath, then shook his head and said: "What will come, will eventually come."

Yao Yuan didn't know what this sentence actually meant, he only watched as Ground Sweeping Monk, who had flashed to the side, give way to an entrance, and he walked in cleanly.

When Yao Yuan walked into the Ten Miles Temple, just as he was about to turn around and look at the Ground Sweeping Monk, as he wanted to say something, he realized that there was no trace of him at the doorway.

As expected, he had come without a trace, Yao Yuan sighed in his heart.

Yao Yuan walked in and looked at his surroundings. Even though it was already dilapidated, there was no dust to be seen at all. It was different from the temples in his memory that had been quiet for dozens of years.

Perhaps, this was the reason why Ten Miles Temple back then could be so popular.

Entering the door, there was a tall three-storey building in front of them. On the door hung a signboard with the words "Ten Miles Temple" written in gilded characters, it looked very domineering.

To be honest, if he only saw the environment here and did not think about the story from before, Yao Yuan would have thought that it was a Ten Miles Temple that was full of glory back then.

There were two floors on both sides of the courtyard. It seemed that no one had lived there for many years. In the center of the courtyard, there was a square cauldron with four sides.

When Yao Yuan walked past Fang Ding, he didn't know where, but there was a "weng" sound. It seemed to be calling out to something, but also seemed to be waiting for something to come back as it let out a joyful sound.

Yao Yuan did not notice all of this. What he was concerned about was just the location of this girl.

The house beside her did not look like a place for humans to live, Yao Yuan thought that she would not be discovered while following him. The girl who had already ran away for half a month would not have thought that anyone would come looking for her at this time.

Apparently, it wasn't here.

Yao Yuan began to push open the door to the house that had the sign "Ten Miles Temple", and slowly walked in.

The moment the door was pushed open, the fragrance of incense wafted in the air. Slowly, the fragrance of incense wafted in the air, causing everyone to feel relaxed and happy.

Yao Yuan closed his eyes to feel the sensation, and then slowly raised his leg, crossing the threshold and entering the hall.

In the center was a picture and sculpture of Three Purities, standing there majestically.

The strong aura made Yao Yuan simply not be able to notice the three mountains in front of him. For some reason, Yao Yuan actually had a strange and familiar feeling towards Sanqing, a feeling that he could not describe.

Yao Yuan consciously knelt on both knees towards San Qing, who was standing in front of him. Only after that did he slowly stand up, feeling the pressure on his body lessen.

"Strange, what is going on?"
