Su Yun returned to the entrance along the western corridor. He was not in a hurry to leave with Xu Jiajia. Instead, he turned around and looked solemnly at the statue of Zhang Zhongjing in the middle.
He looked up under the towering statue, as if it was a magical conversation between ancient people and modern people.
There was no sound in this conversation, though. The information of the predecessors was left in the supernatural state, in the remnant aura. Now, the predecessors could cross the river of time.
Soon, Su Yun picked up the sandalwood at the side. After lighting it up, he bowed three times respectfully in front of the statue. Although it was unintentional, Su Yun had indeed been taught here. Hence, he silently thanked this ancestor in his heart.
The smoke soared into the sky. When Su Yun and Xu Jiajia walked along the path into the distance, the smoke was still there. It was unknown if it was a coincidence, but the lifelike eyes on the statue seemed to be watching Su Yun leave.
After leaving the Medical Sage Temple, Xu Jiajia and Su Yun first returned to the hotel they were staying at. Then, Su Yun sat in front of the computer and began to check the nearest Mingsha Ancient Temple.
Although Xu Jiajia was puzzled, she did not ask much along the way. She only carefully washed the fruits she had bought on the way and placed them in front of Su Yun. Then, she sat beside him and quietly watched Su Yun get busy.
Xu Jiajia could tell that Su Yun seemed to be working on a new strategy. She did not know why Su Yun would suddenly become like this after leaving, but she knew that Su Yun must have his reasons for doing so.
The sunlight shone into the house through the window, perfectly reflecting the firm outline of Su Yun’s side profile. After busying himself in front of the computer for half an hour, Su Yun finally stretched and heaved a long sigh of relief. A new map had been planned by Su Yun, and the final destination of this map happened to be the same as Xu Jiajia’s original destination.
To the west of Great Xia was Tibet, known as the backbone of the world.
“Jiajia, I can’t explain to you why I’m doing this for the time being. But we have to go to these places that I have marked on the map. I need more clues to verify my guess. If it’s really as I think, perhaps I can save you.”
Looking at the serious Su Yun in front of her, Xu Jiajia smiled gently and nodded. “I’ve said it before. As long as it’s something you decide, I’ll support it no matter what. But I also hope you won’t feel too much pressure because of me. I’ve been very happy recently. Even if this is really the last journey of my life, as long as you accompany me, I won’t have any regrets.”
Xu Jiajia’s gentleness and sensibleness made Su Yun’s heart ache. However, he did not say anything at this moment. After making some preparations, he set off again with Xu Jiajia.
Su Yun first set his target at Yi’an City’s Yiling Mountain Ancient Temple, which was not far away from them. The ancient temple of Yiling Mountain was known as the number one ancient temple in Great Xia. It was also the world famous Jia Lan.
This was the first public monastery built after Buddhism entered Great Xia. It was also the birthplace of many countries and the court of their founders.
To Su Yun, this was the most suitable place to verify his guess. Buddhism took root in Great Xia and spread. In the first 200 years, the entire process was closely related to the ancient temple of Yiling Mountain.
It was also here that the first Han Dynasty monk of Great Xia appeared. He was also the first holy monk who was known as the ancient Buddha. This person’s appearance not only allowed Buddhist culture to flourish in Great Xia, but also perfected Buddhist thought.
Strictly speaking, without this person, Buddhism would not have such a reputation today. In fact, Su Yun was only giving it a try on this trip. After all, he was not sure if there was any supernatural information left here.
Whether that holy monk had entered the supernatural state or not, there was no way to know in advance. He could only know after he went.
Soon, Su Yun brought Xu Jiajia to Yi’an City by car.
Yiling Mountain was the most famous mountain in Yi’an City. Therefore, transportation was very developed. Moreover, promotional posters for Yiling Mountain could be seen everywhere in the entire city.
Xu Jiajia was also very curious about this. After all, Yiling Mountain was called the land of Buddhism. When the two of them arrived at the foot of Yiling Mountain, they quickly saw a dense crowd of devotees climbing up the long corridor in the mountain.
These people came from all directions, and there was even no lack of believers from Sakura Island. The ancient temple on Yiling Mountain was extremely important to the religious beliefs of Sakura Island.
The Buddhist culture of Sakura Nation originated from the ancient temple of Yiling Mountain. The bell of the ancient temple of Yiling Mountain was also very sacred to the people of Sakura Nation.
Therefore, the time to ring the bell was changed to the time of the new year in Sakura Country.
Su Yun and Xu Jiajia walked among the devotees. They could even see people kowtowing to the mountain every three steps. These people all had long cherished wishes in their hearts, and their pious attitude was also extremely admirable.
As Su Yun’s goal was very clear, he did not walk into the other mountain paths. Instead, he followed the path and walked in the direction of the ancient temple at the top of the mountain.
The ancient temple on Yiling Mountain faced the south from the north. The only long courtyard had a total area of 40,000 square meters. Even though he had yet to reach the top of the mountain, he could already see the Great Buddha Hall that seemed to be connected to the world.
