562 He Was a God (1/2)

He had worked at the Temple of Heaven for many years and heard many stories about old temples. The stories in the forbidden city attracted the most attention.

Someone said he saw shadows on the wall in the rain. Another person said he heard people laughing in a palace at night. There were all sorts of stories, including the ones related to the Temple of Heaven.

”I must have gotten it wrong!” The guard walked back with a torch. He subconsciously looked up before walking away.

Oh my god! He was shocked. A man was standing on top of Qinian Palace. He was surrounded by moonlight. His whole body was shining. He looked like a god.

Plump!

The guard's knelt down and said, ”Amitabha, amitabha!”

Wang Yao had a wonderful feeling while standing on top of Qinian Palace. The aura was very active there. He felt he could reach the sky from that spot. He enjoyed being showered by the moonlight and light from the stars. He felt he was changing and upgrading. It was a feeling he couldn't describe.

A sudden sound brought him back to reality.

What a shame! Wang Yao sighed.

He looked toward the noise and saw a person kneeling on the ground with a torch.

”I must have scared the hell out of him,” Wang Yao said.

He jumped from the other side of Qinian Palace.

The guard kneeling on the ground didn't dare look up or get up. When he finally got up to look around, the figure on top of Qinian Palace had disappeared.

Although he was not an academic person, he was familiar with the buildings in the areas. He knew how tall exactly each building was. Qinian Palace was 124 feet tall. No one could reach its top without assistance from special devices unless he was not a human being.

Then, what is he? The guard was sweating with fear.

Wang Yao didn't immediately return to the hotel after he left the Temple of Heaven. Instead, he went to the Temple of Earth. He wanted to find the feeling back but failed.

What a shame!

He knew it was absolutely by chance to gain insight into the world. Last time, he had a feeling of understanding the universe when he was on the Great Wall. This time, he didn't know when and where he would gain the insight of the universe again.

Time to go.

He went back to the hotel. It was peaceful overnight.

The night guard who worked at the Temple of Heaven resigned the next day.

”Why?” his superior asked. He wanted to keep this devoted old staff member.

”I saw a god or a ghost,” the guard said.

Whatever he thought he had seen, he didn't think he should continue to work there. He didn't want to lose his life.

Wang Yao went to the Wu family's house again to provide the same treatment to the old man.

”I've done everything I can. I'm leaving in the afternoon,” Wang Yao said.

”OK.” Wu Tongxing didn't say much this time.

”You are not going to say goodbye to Miss Su?” Chen Ying asked with a smile after hearing Wang Yao was leaving.

”It is not necessary,” Wang Yao said.

”I think she'll get upset about it,” Chen Ying said.

Wang Yao's flight was in the afternoon. Chen Ying and Chen Zhou came to see him off.

As soon as he boarded on the plane, a person came to the cottage where he stayed. It was Su Xiaoxue.

”No one is in?” She was disappointed to see the locked door.

I should call Chen Ying.

”See? What did I say?” Chen Ying said with a smile when she saw Su Xiaoxue's number on her phone.

”What? Dr. Wang has left? When?” As expected, Su Xiaoxue was disappointed.

”Just now,” Chen Ying said.

”Why didn't he tell me he was leaving?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

”Dr. Wang asked me not to tell anyone. He didn't want to bother anyone. I'm sorry,” Chen Ying said.

”Never mind.” Su Xiaoxue hung up the phone.

”Miss Su, where would you like to go?” asked her maid, a woman in her 40s.

”Nowhere. I want to go home.” She suddenly lost all interest.

”OK,” the maid said.

On their way back home, they bumped into a young man with a shiny smile.
