Chapter 105

Cooking smoke, old trees, crows

Mountain village, small temple, Tianya

When Yan Liqiang came out of the temple, his heart was empty. After seven or eight months of countless attempts to cross mountains, cities and counties, he could only wander around like a lonely ghost. He was neither cold nor hungry, did not eat or sleep, did not die or live. No matter how strong he was, he would inevitably be disappointed or even desperate

Yan Liqiang doesn't know where he is now. Anyway, this place is far away from Ganzhou of the Han Empire.

The small temple is called Qingliang temple. It is built on the hillside of this mountain. There is only an old temple wish that is half monk and half vulgar. When Yan Liqiang left, the gray haired old temple wish was dozing on the recliner at the door, drooling and sleeping soundly. On the head of the old Temple wish is the mottled plaque of Qingliang temple, on both sides of the temple door, There are also two Buddhist words that have fallen off the paint.

——Without greed, it is cool, and without infatuation, it is free.

After looking at the two Buddhist words at the gate of the temple, Yan Liqiang smiled bitterly.

Yan Liqiang was not a firm materialist in his previous life, but even less so in this life. Therefore, since two months ago, once he met places such as Taoist temples on the road, Yan Liqiang couldn't help but go in and worship, pray for the gods and Bodhisattvas in the sky, and give himself a chance of rebirth.

It seems fun to float around like this every day, but over time, Yan Liqiang still feels a suffocating fear. He is afraid that he will go on like this forever. He can only be a spectator in the world, even among thousands of people.

There is a village at the foot of the mountain of the small temple. At this time, the sunset is all over the sky. It is when every family is cooking dinner that the cooking smoke curls in the village, which is quite quiet.

Yan Liqiang took a look down the mountain and didn't go down the mountain. A few months ago, he liked to run around to different people and see the human conditions in the world. Now, looking at the lives of those people as a bystander has become a torture for Yan Liqiang, which makes Yan Liqiang feel more like a lonely ghost abandoned by the whole world.

Along the mountain path behind the small temple, Yan Liqiang came to the top of the mountain not long ago. He sat on a boulder under a pine tree on the top of the mountain, alone, quietly watching the sun slowly set in the west, watching the sunset turn gray and night fall.

He doesn't want to go, try or run today. He just wants to stay alone on this nameless hill for a night. After these months, his body is like the wind and never seems to feel tired, but his heart is already exhausted.

The setting sun set and the stars rose. Yan Liqiang stretched out his hand and looked at his arm without a shadow in the moonlight. He shook his head and closed his eyes.

The familiar and strange strange boulder appeared in front of Yan Liqiang at the moment when Yan Liqiang closed his eyes.

Just like watching a movie, no one likes to stare at a scene forever. In the past seven or eight months, Yan Liqiang's longest time was staring at this strange stone with his eyes closed for more than ten hours. He also tried to communicate with this stone head in various ways, but it was useless. But today, after closing his eyes, He looked at the strange stone. Frustrated, Yan Liqiang's eyes never opened, and people didn't float around anymore.

An hour passed... Five hours passed... Ten hours passed... A day passed

When the sun set again and the stars appeared again, Yan Liqiang, who had been looking at the stone for more than 24 hours, suddenly felt that the strange boulder was shining brightly and showed a look he had never seen before. Just when Yan Liqiang was surprised, the boulder sent out a rainbow like brilliance and shone on Yan Liqiang, Before Yan Liqiang could react, he felt that the strange boulder suddenly turned into a huge magnet, producing an irresistible strong attraction. His whole body and consciousness suddenly turned into a light and disappeared into the boulder.

——Is this reincarnation? Hehe, I hope I can grow more handsome in my next life

Before losing consciousness, this was the last thought with self mockery in Yan Liqiang's head.

The next time, Yan Liqiang felt like he had a long black and sweet dream.

……

"Sneeze..." the tip of his nose was a little itchy. Yan Liqiang couldn't help sneezing, then opened his eyes and woke up.

Yan Liqiang was greeted by several remnant stars hanging in the bright sky, as well as the pine tree above his head. A drop of grass with dew was just next to his face. He sneezed, and the dew on the grass flew to his face, making him feel a chill.

Yan Liqiang blinked. Was he dreaming?

In a daze, he raised his hand and put it in front of him. It was a powerful and young hand. The skin on his hand was as shiny as ivory, and his fingers were slender, full of strange and strange beauty.

Looking at this hand, Yan Liqiang's head crashed for a few seconds, and he didn't react to what had happened. But a few seconds later, Yan Liqiang's eyes widened, and the whole person jumped from the ground like an electric shock.

After jumping up, Yan Liqiang found that his place was the top of the familiar unknown hill. The pine tree is still the pine tree, and the stone next to the pine tree is still the stone. He looks down the mountain, and the Qingliang temple is not far away. How could it be like this? Isn't he reincarnated? How can he be here? Is it a dream... A mountain wind blew, and the cold in the wind made Yan Liqiang sneeze again, "a sneeze..." at this time, Yan Liqiang found that he was naked without a wisp. He looked down and saw that his body seemed a little different from that before, but fortunately it was also with him... Yan Liqiang was excited, He couldn't help shouting from the top of the mountain, which startled several birds in the nearby forest, and Yan Liqiang stopped. After being excited, Yan Li looked at himself now. Yan Li suppressed his excitement and carefully went down the mountain in the dark along the mountain road. The mountain road is difficult to walk. There are still some gravel and dead leaves on the mountain road. When stepping on it with bare feet, it is very uncomfortable and even pricks people. Before going far, Yan Liqiang's sole was pierced by the dead branches and rubble on the ground, which hurts a little. But Yan Liqiang didn't care at all. At this time, it was a pleasure for Yan Liqiang to feel the pain again. Naked Yan Liqiang came to Qingliang temple with the fastest speed and climbed over the wall into the temple. There was no one in the temple at night, and the old temple wish was not there. Yan Liqiang directly found a set of barely fitting old clothes and a pair of old shoes in a sundry room in the temple—— Borrow some clothes today and return them a hundred times in the future! After leaving such a sentence on the wall of the utility room, Yan Liqiang left the Qingliang temple in old clothes. When he came to the road at the foot of the mountain, in the early dawn, Yan Liqiang finally roared, "I'm alive, I'm alive..." this novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation
