After Li Er left Daning Temple, Gu Qing still stayed here and watched everything here, reminiscing with the monks here, and watching a young monk coming not far away, Gu Qing smiled when he saw him, "Long time no see."

"Long time hasn't been to Donald Gu," said Buchi.

Gu Qing remembered him. The young monk was not crazy back then. He also remembered that he came to say goodbye to him when he went out to practice. When he came back, he brought Tang Xuanzang back to Chang'an.

"You have grown up too." Gu Qing said, "How old are you this year."

"I am nineteen this year." Buchi said.

Several monks beside him handed the robes to Buchi, and Gu Qing looked at Buchi and then looked at Buchi.

Buchi took the robes and put them on him in front of Gu Qing and said respectfully, "Donor Gu, actually, when I returned to Chang'an, the old abbot gave me the robe and bowl, and I only put them on today."

Gu Qing saw that he was not crazy in the cassock. When he saw this little monk, he was still an ignorant child, curious and timid about the world outside the temple. Now he saw him that he had grown up, with a sense of stability and a different kind of taste in his eyes. This kind of eyes had also been seen in the eyes of the old abbot of the Daning Temple.

"It doesn't seem good to say congratulations at this time." Gu Qing touched his nose.

"I know, but Tang Xuanzang has a lot of doubts, and some cause and effect should be explained." Bu Chi made an invitation gesture, "Donor Gu changed his place to speak."

"Okay." Gu Qing nodded.

As Bu Chi came to a small room, it did not change at all. I remember that this was a small room that I once regretted entering the temple, and Tang Xuanzang sat cross-legged in it.

Gu Qing also sat cross-legged, and the three of them sat on the side. The room was very quiet. The death of the old abbot did not have much impact. The monks here quickly returned to their past actions. Bu Chi took out a chopstick, held it with one hand and stood it on the ground and said, "Since no one spoke, let the chopstick decide."

After saying that, Buddie let go of the chopsticks, and the whole chopstick fell to the top and headed towards Tang Xuanzang.

Buchi nodded and said, "Tang Xuanzang, you can talk first."

Tang Xuanzang stared at Gu Qing and said, "Gu Qing, what do you believe in in your heart?"

Hearing this, Gu Qing smiled and said, "I am just a plain person and have nothing to believe in. If you have to say something to believe in, you must believe what I am willing to believe."

"Now it's my turn to say it, but when I heard Mr. Gu's words, I felt that everything I said next was unnecessary." Bu Chi looked at Tang Xuanzang and said, "Let's ask."

Tang Xuanzang spoke again, "Gu Qing, then tell me what the future is like in your heart."

"I used to think I knew the future, and I also thought I could do things that I could not do in this era before, but when I came to my senses, I realized that the original future was no longer ahead of me, and ahead of me was a future that I didn't even know." After saying that, Gu Qing looked at Tang Xuanzang, "Why don't you continue asking, let's be simple."

"Okay." Buchi said.

Tang Xuanzang asked again, "Gu Qing, what did you get from Aijishan? Zhao Rui met me in Luoyang, and he said you inherited some things, some things that he would not get in his life."

Looking back on everything that happened to Mangshan at the beginning, Gu Qing still feels a little sad when he thinks about it, "I can't explain it clearly."

"At the beginning, there was a group of people looking for immortality. You have basically been in contact with these people." Tang Xuanzang said again, "You Gu Qing now seem to have gained everything. You have fame, you have wealth, and you can be more powerful in the government and the country. Will you want to find immortality next?"

Buchi observed Gu Qing's expression and said it after a long time of quietness before he could speak out from Gu Qing's mouth.

"Let me tell you a story." Gu Qing said, "There were two brothers who taught them skills and principles. A few years later, the two brothers thought they were well-versed in their studies. They encountered a problem on the road to exploring knowledge, that is, immortality, but their master did not tell them where immortality is. There have been legends throughout the ages, the story of King Mu of Zhou and Queen Mother of the West, did King Mu of Zhou really get immortality from Queen Mother of the West? The First Emperor sent people to search the world and only seek medicine for immortality. Emperor Wu of Han dreamed of Queen Mother of the West. The Qinling Mountains traverse thousands of miles. Why did Lao Tzu suddenly realize on Mangshan and set out from Mangshan to Hangu Pass. Why did so many kings, princes, generals and ministers put their tombs in Mangshan? Why did so many people bury so many people in Mangshan? What did Mangshan mention in geoscience? Where is the Heavenly Palace at the end of Changbai Mountain, which is covered with snow for thousands of years?"

Gu Qing's tone slowed down and continued, "There can be found four places, where the Queen Mother of the West is. Many ancient books record a place name Kunlun and where the last elixir of the First Emperor was. People all think that Penglai Immortal Island, as well as Mangshan and Changbai Mountain."

"The senior brother found a clue and traveled all over the world to find immortality, but the junior brother thought that the so-called immortality was false. He tried to persuade his senior brother several times to be useless. A few years later, the junior brother also traveled all over the world and arrived at Mangshan, just to be a tomb guard, and sat in Mangshan for decades."

"Decades have passed, and this senior brother found that it is not enough to find immortality alone by himself. For the senior brother, immortality is no longer a so-called extravagant desire and **. immortality is an answer to him. He has been pursuing for decades for this answer. This senior brother is also a sad person. He knows that in his limited life, he cannot find immortality. Then this senior brother began to recruit strange people in the world, teach his disciples the skills, and hand over the answer he had found for most of his life to his disciples. He hopes that his disciples can find it, and even after he dies, some disciples will look for the answer."

"But his disciples believed that immortality was a falsehood, and it was a huge lie left by this predecessor to his descendants. immortality did not exist. He stayed on Mangshan and watched his senior brother's disciples come to Mangshan alone to find the answer, but they all returned without success. The junior brother knew that his senior brother had been pursuing most of his life. If his senior brother knew that immortality did not exist, it would be even more uncomfortable for his senior brother than killing him, and would be ruined in a lie for the rest of his life."
