Only Gu Qing knows where his hometown is. Sometimes he imagines in his heart that he can return to his hometown, but the facts over the years tell him that reality is irreversible. Sometimes he thinks about it, maybe he already belongs to this era, his home and everything about him is here.

When my first step was in this era, when I met Sun Simiao here, I might not be able to go back. Thinking, space, wormholes, I thought of many concepts in my early years and tried to explain why I came here. Even if I combined what I learned for half my life, this kind of puzzle could not be solved by myself or in my whole life.

Instead of torture yourself, it is better to experience this era with your heart and feel the ups and downs of this era. After reading the many names on this file, Gu Qing took it down and lit it with a candlelight to burn it to ashes.

In an ancient temple outside Chang'an City, this is the temple where Gu Qing once lived for a while. This is the Daning Temple. Tang Xuanzang looked at the stars everywhere and didn't sleep. He asked an old monk beside him and said, "Is there any prophet in the world?"

"Why do you say this?" The old abbot of Daning Temple closed his eyes.

"I traveled all over the West, but I have never seen the faith in my heart. The road was very difficult. I have doubted more than once what I have always insisted on." Tang Xuanzang whispered, "Sometimes I think about what I have been pious in front of the Buddha for most of my life?"

The old abbot smiled and said nothing.

Tang Xuanzang still whispered, "Until I met Gu Qing, a person who seemed to be murderous without blinking, sometimes I think Gu Qing is a devil. I think I am not afraid of the devil, but when I face Gu Qing, I was scared."

"What are you afraid of?" the old abbot asked.

"I'm afraid..." Tang Xuanzang was confused for a long time, "I don't know what I'm afraid of."

The old abbot did not take the call.

Tang Xuanzang said again, "I feel that Gu Qing seems to be out of place with this world. He uses his own way of living to change the way many people in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, there are strange people in this world. I can only use strange people to explain Gu Qing's skills, but once or twice is fine. Gu Qing seems to be walking ahead of every step. He seems to have known for a long time that Li Chengqian should ascend the throne, and the Tang royal family cannot follow Li Shimin's retreat. He seems to have known for a long time that Songtsen Gampo is an ambitious person, and Gu Qing seems to have known for everything."

"I am shaken. I don't know if I should continue to stick to the past. I think Gu Qing is a devil, but everything Gu Qing brought to the Tang Dynasty is good. Sometimes I feel that Gu Qing is compassionate to the world. He has a sympathy for him and even many people in the Tang Dynasty. But outside the pass, he is a demon who slaughtered the unjust. When Li Shimin talked with me in secret, Li Shimin said that Gu Qing looked at him like he was looking at a pitiful person."

"So far, I have seen all the mountains and rivers, but I can't see through Gu Qing, but I can't understand the future." Tang Xuanzang said, "Old abbot, is Gu Qing the inner demon of Gu Qing?"

The old abbot had no response.

Tang Xuanzang looked at the old abbot beside him, with a smile on his face, and the breeze blew his clothes, but he didn't move.

"Old abbot?" Tang Xuanzang called again.

Until the little monk standing beside him also came and called. In the middle of the night, the howling sound from Daning Temple came, and the abbot of the Daning Temple left.

Early the next morning, Gu Qing received the news that the abbot of the Daning Temple had passed away, and his heart was a little heavy. Although he had only lived in Daning Temple for a while, he had only said a few words. The old abbot always gave him a feeling that he was a very mysterious person.

Gu Qing didn't bother to have breakfast and watched it for a day without any energy. Gu Xiao said, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Gu Xiao was gnawing on the meat bun in his mouth, "I read the book too late last night."

"If you are really tired and go back to sleep, you will go to the academy to play." Gu Qing hurriedly left.

Gu Xiao looked at Gu Qing leaving and pouted, muttering, "Don't ask me how late I read the book last night."

Fan Jian followed Gu Qing away with a smile. Fan Jian knew that Gu Xiao saw dawn last night reading.

Li Xiang looked at Gu Qing's departure, "The teacher seems to rarely go out. What are you doing when you go out today?"

Wu Mei brought a bowl of porridge to Li Xiang and said, "He went to meet an old friend."

"Oh." Li Xiang was eating breakfast obediently.

Gu Qing went all the way to Daning Temple. Daning Temple was not far from his home, and it took only more than an hour to arrive. Fan Jian said, "Why didn't the head of the family leave with his horse?"

"I think walking is better." Gu Qing said.

As I walked along the way, I ran into Li Er who was also heading towards Daning Temple.

"Father-in-law, such a coincidence." Gu Qing greeted.

Gu Qing is respectful to Li Er on weekdays, but in private Gu Qing is very casual to Li Er.

Li Er likes this title, after all, it doesn’t sound like a lot of distance. He looked at Gu Qing and said, “Have you received the news too?”

"Yes, he used to remind me of a few words, saying that I would see him off no matter what he said." Gu Qing walked all the way.

Li Er nodded and walked.

Wang Qin glanced at Fan Jian who was following Gu Qing. The four of them had nothing to say as they walked along the way.

As we were about to arrive in Daning Temple, Gu Qing broke his peace, "Father-in-law, I have never known the relationship between you and this old abbot. Is there any secret that I cannot know?"

"It's all old things, so it's better not to mention them." After Li Er said that, he walked to the front of Daning Temple and bowed a little.

Gu Qing also walked into it with a little salute. When he arrived at the Daning Temple, he saw Tang Xuanzang also here. He was a little surprised but he still kept his heart and watched a group of monks performing rituals. Most of the monks here did not remember them. They all gave friendly eyes and seemed to remember themselves. Many peaches in Daning Temple were won by themselves.

Li Er sat beside Gu Qing and said, "I have received the news that the old abbot left peacefully."

"I know." Gu Qing also nodded.

Gu Qing kept watching the ritual end, watching the old abbot's corpse turned into ashes in the flames, and the sad expressions of monks in the temple were speechless for a moment. Every time he recalled what he said to him, those words were very ordinary, but after careful consideration, they were also very interesting, and he whispered, "Go along the way."

Li Er looked at the burning fire and bowed his head devoutly.
