"It's been a long time since I've seen the abbot, I wonder where he is at this moment?" Chen Yuan said, his gaze intently fixed on the figure of the monk in the blue robe, observing his complexion and subtle movements.
"The abbot…"
The monk in the blue robe paused for a moment before whispering:
"The abbot is currently comprehending the principles of Buddhism and has not left his seclusion for over a year."
"Seclusion…"
Chen Yuan's eyes flickered:
"May I ask where he is in seclusion? Isn't it odd that no one has gone to look for him during such a lengthy period?"
"The abbot is in seclusion on the back mountain. Nowadays, all the affairs of the temple are managed by Monitor Jie Nan Uncle, and we have no authority to inquire…" said the monk in the blue robe softly.
"The back mountain…"
Chen Yuan murmured to himself, yet his heart stirred.
No wonder he had wandered around the temple grounds for so long without finding anything; there was still a back mountain!
