Lin Zhihao straightened up and looked at He Manman, "?"
He Manman shook her head.
Abbot: "Please follow me."
As the abbot led the way, He Manman pulled Lin Zhihao along to follow.
After passing through a wooden door, a hidden tea room appeared before the two, bringing to life an antique and elegant atmosphere.
"Please take a seat."
"Oh oh oh oh."
He Man climbed onto the couch and sat inside, while Lin Zhihao sat on the outside, and the abbot sat opposite them.
"Have some tea."
The abbot poured a cup of tea for Lin Zhihao and the other person.
"thanks, thanks."
Both of them quickly reached out, took it with both hands, and drank it down in one gulp.
Lin Zhihao: "Ah~ It's delicious."
He Manman: "Yes, yes, it doesn't taste bitter at all."
The abbot adjusted his prayer beads and pulled out an envelope and a thick leather book from under the couch.
Seeing the abbot's actions, Lin Zhihao and He Manman exchanged a glance, a flash of excitement in their eyes.
coming.
The abbot pushed the envelope in front of the two men, saying, "You've come here because the time has come. You should go and complete your mission."
The leather book had a very smooth surface, covered with a bunch of patterns that Lin Zhihao and the others couldn't understand. The colors looked like blood had been poured on it many times, with blood clots congealed into a dark red color and firmly pressed onto the book. The book's texture was strange, exuding a faint sense of mystery.
The abbot placed the leather book on the table and touched it reluctantly with his hand.
Lin Zhihao picked up the envelope. "May I open it?"
The abbot nodded.
Lin Zhihao opened it, and inside was a letter of introduction. The handwriting on it was crooked and messy. Lin Zhihao looked at it from left to right, but she could only make out that it was a letter of introduction.
Abbot: "You will need this later. When you arrive at the city gate, give this letter to the gatekeeper, and you will be able to avoid being stopped at the gate."
Lin Zhihao: "Huh?"
"What city? What gatekeeper? Where are we going?" Lin Zhihao asked. They were going on a long trip, but they didn't know? It sounded strange.
"You two have been chosen by destiny and have come to this place through a medium. Heaven has arranged your path." The abbot spoke calmly, his face expressionless, but his words startled the two little girls.
Lin Zhihao's eyes widened in shock. He... he... he meant that, didn't he? He knew they had time-traveled?
"You, you, you." Lin Zhihao started to get nervous as she spoke.
Regardless of whether anyone believes this, the fact that these women haven't even revealed their identities yet, and this monk already knows their biggest secret, what? Amazing!
She quickly took two plaques out of her pocket. "Abbot, what are these?"
The old man in the vintage store was acting mysteriously and rambling on and on; she couldn't understand what this thing was for. This monk should know something.
The abbot glanced at it indifferently, "Identity card."
"ID tag?"
The abbot picked up Lin Zhihao's gold medal, gently stroked it, his eyes filled with longing, as he hadn't seen it for many years.
"What's the use?" Lin Zhihao asked, her big, bright eyes wide open.
The abbot chuckled, "As its name suggests, this plaque symbolizes your status and can help you avoid a lot of trouble."
Lin Zhihao: "Oh~~"
Although she didn't quite understand what she was hearing, Lin Zhihao still let out a long "oh," indicating that she might have understood a little bit.
"Then, are the two signs different because they are used for different purposes?" He Manman, sitting inside, asked, looking at her wooden sign through the candlelight.
"No," the abbot replied.
"That?"
"Go there, use the letter to enter the city gate, and someone will guide you. The token in your hand is like your ID card. There are seven types of tokens: transparent, gold, glitter, silver, sand, copper, and wood. These tokens are..."
He Manman listened attentively.
"From top to bottom, it symbolizes the ranking of status and identity."
He Manman: "So."
"Yes, the lowest grade."
He Manman:······
"Pfft." Lin Zhihao, who was also listening attentively, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
He Manman's face was full of sorrow.
He Manman: "So where are we going, and from where do we come?"
Abbot: "Starting from Haicheng, take a boat to Tianxuan Land, and you will arrive at Yueqing City."
"There, you will find the answers you seek."
"Yue Qingcheng?" Lin Zhihao murmured as she looked at the envelope.
"Take this book with you too." The abbot closed his eyes and pushed the leather-bound book in front of the two of them.
Lin Zhihao lowered her head and sniffed. Hmm, no smell.
As Lin Zhihao turned the page, she saw dense text and illustrations. The more she turned the page, the more captivating it became, and she was quickly drawn to the contents of the book.
He Manman, who was standing to the side, watched Lin Zhihao reading a book that contained absolutely nothing in it, and a question mark slowly appeared above her head.
"Sister Lin, what are you doing?" She nudged Lin Zhihao.
Lin Zhihao smiled but showed no reaction.
He Manman: ?
"Sister Lin? What are you looking at?"
In He Manman's vision, there was a blank book in front of her. She also tried to smell it like Lin Zhihao, but she couldn't smell anything special.
The opened page was also completely blank.
Lin Zhihao's blissful smile sent a chill down her spine for no apparent reason.
"Sister Lin! Sister Lin! Wake up, wake up!"
She shook Lin Zhihao's body, but Lin Zhihao did not respond.
His eyes remained fixed on the book in front of him.
He Manman snatched the leather book away and closed it.
Lin Zhihao shuddered.
"Manman?"
"Sister Lin, you're finally awake." He Manman breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Zhihao: "I was engrossed in my research, why did you snatch my book?"
"What's there to study? It's just a blank book." He Manman tried to open the book, but found that she couldn't open it at all.
"?"
She refused to believe it, and with all her might, she pried at the leather book, only to find it completely untouched.
He Manman:······
Chinese women never admit defeat. He Manman stepped on the edge of the book with her feet, grabbed the other side with both hands, and pulled.
I was sweating profusely, but I didn't open the book.
Lin Zhihao watched her frantic actions and said, "What are you doing? Turning the pages of a book is like you're trying to break steel bars with your bare hands."
Lin Zhihao took the book and easily opened and closed it repeatedly.
Lin Zhihao: ? ? ? This is quite easy.
He Manman: Even if she didn't transmigrate into the protagonist's body, she's still a person. Why is she being treated differently just because she opened this book?
He Manman was furious. She turned her back to the wall and sulked. How could they treat people differently? How outrageous!
Lin Zhihao got up smugly, and facing He Manman, opened and closed the leather-bound book. Opened it, then closed it again.
He was glared at fiercely by He Manman.
"Sigh, I am that chosen one." Lin Zhihao sighed silently.
"Don't worry, I've got your back."
"That's more like it." He Manman pouted, feeling a little happier.
"The guide has been waiting for a long time. The mission has already summoned Yue Qingcheng. Go quickly." A clear voice came from the sky.
"Holy crap!" He Manman quickly hid behind Lin Zhihao. "What was that noise?"
"It's okay, it's probably just the microphone," Lin Zhihao comforted her, patting her on the shoulder.
"Oh, wait, where's the abbot?" Coming to her senses, He Manman realized that the abbot was no longer there. Only she, Sister Lin, and the letter were in the room.
Lin Zhihao: "??" Oh, where is he?
He got up to look for her, "Where is she?"
The two people ran out of the tea room.
But then they heard a creak, and the abbot's door opened wide.
He Manman grabbed Lin Zhihao, who was looking for someone, and said, "Let's go, Sister Lin."
The door suddenly opened by itself; it's a sign that the guest is being seen off.
