Ye Gu Ming used less than a year and a half to finally bring everyone to Qinglian Temple.
Returning to this place, they found that the entire temple had been abandoned. The ground was covered in moss and weeds, and all the rooms were filled with dust.
Liu Yin looked at all of this with tears in her eyes. Even Ye Guming felt sad about it.
So many people had disappeared from his memory. Of those who had accompanied him as he grew up, only he and Liu Yin were left in the entire Qinglian Temple.
The human world had already undergone great changes, but this place had yet to change.
It was just that the dust had covered its original appearance.
Even though Bo Yi looked clumsy and simple-minded, he was not stupid. Actually, he wasn't stupid at all. In fact, he was very thoughtful.
He knew that Ye Gu Ming had grown up in this place, so he ordered everyone to clean up the already abandoned Qinglian Temple.
The ancient temple that had been silent for more than three thousand years finally became lively again today.
While everyone was cleaning up the temple, Ye Guming brought Liu Yin back to the small home that belonged to both of them.
The little house built near Qinglian Temple was built by the two of them.
Today, the old tree in the courtyard was still growing.
Looking at this towering tree, Ye Gu Ming was very shocked. This was an old tree that had lived for more than three thousand years.
"There was a loquat tree in the courtyard, and now it is as tall as a canopy …" Ye Gu Ming silently recited this sentence. He pulled Liu Yin's hand and ran to the old tree.
"This tree was personally planted by you. I didn't expect it to live for more than three thousand years and grow so strong." Ye Gu Ming said with emotion.
Liu Yin recalled the scene at that time. That time could be considered her previous life, and she was still Miaozhen.
"Do you still remember what Master Li Ruo said to us before she died?" Liu Yin plucked a leaf and held it in her hand. She said softly, "She said that life is like a fallen leaf. When the wind blows, you are drifting, but when the wind stops, the fallen leaf returns to its roots. The wind rises and falls like the ebb and flow of the tide. We are all a lone boat in the vast ocean. We pursue the truth of life, but we are always at a loss. Even when you're about to die, just like Ye Luo, you've returned to where you started. "
"I didn't think that you would still remember Master Li Ruo's last words so clearly." Ye Gu Ming sighed.
Liu Yin said, "I remember it clearly because I can empathize with it now. You and I have been drifting in the world for so many years, and in the end, we have to return to this place where we first met. "
"Fallen leaves return to their roots, revisiting old haunts …" Ye Gu Ming recited these two sentences silently. He felt as if he had grasped something, but it was unclear. It was as if these simple words had some hidden meaning.
Back then, before Li Ruo passed away, she had indeed repeated these words to him and his wife many times.
But Ye Gu Ming only felt that it was the reluctance of someone about to die to leave this world, so he did not think too much about it.
But now that he had returned to this place and heard Liu Yin recall the scene at that time, he suddenly felt that Li Ruo seemed to be hinting at something.
"Logically speaking, Master Li Ruo can't even be considered a cultivator. She was just a nun who had always stayed behind at Qinglian Temple. Could it be that she had discovered something back then? But why didn't she tell us, instead of keeping it a secret?"
Liu Yin heard Ye Gu Ming muttering to himself, so she asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"I suddenly feel that Master Li Ruo's words back then seemed to have some hidden meaning. Perhaps I'm just overthinking it." Ye Gu Ming shook his head, then got up and walked into the small room in front.
This was the small home he and Miaozhen had built together back then.
Ye Gu Ming and Liu Yin reminisced about the past in this former home, while the remaining thirty thousand people were inside and outside Qinglian Temple. There were people everywhere, and they quickly cleaned up the abandoned temple.
However, there was one room that Ye Gu Ming did not let anyone touch. That was Li Ruo's old residence, and also the place where she passed away.
Ever since Li Ruo passed away, Ye Gu Ming and Miaozhen did not disturb her again, fulfilling her final wish.
Because before Li Ruo's death, she had specifically instructed the two not to let anyone touch her body after her death, so she had always remained in her room, guarding this temple.
Therefore, even after so many years, when Ye Guming came back, he did not disturb her sleep. He also told everyone that they were not allowed to go near that room.
But at this time, Ye Gu Ming felt more and more that something was wrong, so he used his Spirit Ascension Technique, using his consciousness to explore the room's environment.
This time, he found something shocking, the bones that passed away in the room had actually disappeared!
"Revisiting an old place, a fallen leaf returning to its roots. Now that the fallen leaf is no longer at its roots, where could it have drifted to?" Ye Gu Ming felt uneasy, so he told Liu Yin.
When Liu Yin found out that Li Ruo's bones had disappeared, she was not too surprised. Although her eyes were filled with sadness, she still calmly said: "Three thousand years ago, perhaps a passing wild beast took her bones ….."
Speaking to this point, she did not continue.
Ye Gu Ming shook his head and said: "It definitely wasn't eaten by a wild beast, because when I looked carefully, the room's doors and windows did not have any traces of being touched. So if a wild beast had entered, the doors and windows would not have been closed, they should have been open. The most likely possibility is that someone came here and took her bones away, then carefully closed the doors and windows, making it look like no one had been here. "
"If that's really the case, then who would actually steal Master Li Ruo's bones, and why would they steal her bones?" Liu Yin also found the abnormality, and asked suspiciously.
Ye Gu Ming frowned, and said in a deep voice: "If there really was someone who purposely took Master Li Ruo's bones away, then it means that the words that she kept repeating before she died were indeed referring to something, especially the words' a fallen leaf returning to its roots' and 'revisiting an old place', she had repeated it many times at that time."
"What did she discover at that time?" Ye Gu Ming rubbed his temples, feeling a growing headache.
"A fallen leaf returning to its roots, revisiting an old place ….." Ye Gu Ming kept repeating these words, and suddenly walked out of the room, heading towards Qinglian Temple.
Liu Yin followed him out, and asked: "What did you discover?"
Ye Gu Ming said: "If Master Li Ruo really meant something back then, then it's possible that she knew that we would leave and return to this place. So when she said 'a fallen leaf returning to its roots' and revisiting an old place, she probably wanted us to go back to her room to take a look, maybe there were some clues left in the room! "
"This is too mysterious, if it's really like what you said, then could it be that Master Li Ruo predicted that we would return to Qinglian Temple three thousand years later?" Liu Yin did not believe in this kind of mysterious thing.
At this time, Ye Gu Ming had already arrived at Li Ruo's room.
There was a lot of dust in the room, so Liu Yin and he explored the room together.
Ye Guming came to the front of the bed and groped under the already folded quilt for a while. He actually discovered that there was a piece of paper hidden under the quilt. On the piece of paper, there was a sentence that made Ye Guming feel a chill down his spine.
"Reincarnated Nunnery, chanting scriptures for three thousand years!"
