640: Chapter 636: Lingyin Temple 640: Chapter 636: Lingyin Temple Ye Tian, guided by a master since childhood, had a high level of accomplishment in painting and calligraphy, and he was familiar with languages from ancient and modern times, including some primal tribe languages.
Ye Tian knew them all!
Yet even so, Ye Tian couldn’t recognize the script on the map.
The characters were square and proper, extremely beautiful, but he just couldn’t comprehend their meaning…
However, Ye Tian was certain that these characters must represent a flourishing civilization, for only a flourishing civilization would have such high standards for the aesthetic quality of its script!
Since he couldn’t understand the script, Ye Tian could only ponder over the figures drawn on the map!
On the map, there were mountains, waters, plains, and hills.
Ye Tian originally thought this map was an ancient map of Jiang City, but the result was disappointing.
The terrain depicted on the map was strikingly different from the terrain of Jiang City that Ye Tian was familiar with; the differences were so great that they couldn’t be easily confused!
That is to say, this map was not a map of Jiang City…
But then, where exactly was it?
Ye Tian was at a loss; he was no geography expert.
He hadn’t studied the terrain and topography of various places in the country, and the location depicted on the map might even be overseas!
If that was the case, it would be akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
Although Ye Tian knew this map was a precious item, if he couldn’t understand it, it was nothing but waste paper…
On the map, the most important position was the red heart right in the middle, but what that red heart represented, Ye Tian had no idea!
Ye Tian shook his head helplessly; the map he had obtained from the ancient tomb turned out to be merely a decoration, making him somewhat disappointed.
So, Ye Tian carefully put away the map and left his room.
“Boss, are you out?
Did you find anything?”
Ye Xuong, who was guarding outside the room, asked with concern, and Ye Tian just gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
“Ye Xuong, tell the brothers at Night King Hall, Jiang City is now swarming with strange people, many of whom are unusual.
My brothers must not act rashly.
Please stay at the headquarters of Night King Hall, and without my orders, do not take any action!”
Ye Tian once again solemnly instructed Ye Xuong.
“Yes!”
Ye Xuong answered earnestly, and then Ye Tian left Night King Hall.
Upon returning to his own villa, Yun Xinyan had already gone to sleep, so Ye Tian, not wishing to disturb her, slept on the sofa for the night.
It wasn’t long before it was morning, and Yun Xinyan came to the sofa.
“Ye Tian, have you started to play the thief now?
After coming home at night, you don’t even dare to climb into bed?”
Yun Xinyan teased Ye Tian, and a bitter expression appeared on his face.
“My dear wife, please don’t speak like that!
You are the president of Yun Corporation and a well-known strong woman in Jiang City.
Your safety determines the fate of the entire city!
Therefore, when I come home late, I don’t dare to disturb your rest, because an ‘idle man’ like me really doesn’t have the right to wake you up,” Ye Tian said mockingly, deliberately elevating Yun Xinyan while demeaning himself.
Yun Xinyan, of course, knew that this was Ye Tian’s usual tactic; although he said he was an “idle man,” in fact, he might be engaged in the most important activities!
“Ye Tian, even though I don’t know what you have been up to lately, please make sure you stay safe, do you understand?”
Yun Xinyan sighed and spoke, and it was only then that Ye Tian noticed the Buddha Beads on her wrist.
“Wife, when did you start believing in Buddhism?”
Ye Tian asked curiously, although the Buddha Beads on Yun Xinyan’s wrist were nothing rare, just the act of wearing them indicated a change in a person’s beliefs.
“I don’t have time for that!” Yun Xinyan shook her head and said, “This was given to me by Sister Lan; she is a patron of Lingyin Temple, and these Buddha Beads were sought from there!”
“Sister Lan believes in Buddhism?”
Ye Tian’s mind echoed continuously.
When he had visited Bai Lan’s home, he had also seen the Buddhist altar there.
However, Ye Tian couldn’t imagine the scene of the busty, big-bottomed Bai Lan kneeling on the cushion at the temple…
Seeing Ye Tian’s disbelief, Yun Xinyan added, “You might not believe it, but Sister Lan is a very devout Buddhist.
She visits Lingyin Temple every week to study ancient texts.”
“Ancient texts?” Ye Tian was quite interested in this term.
“Wife, are there really ancient texts in Lingyin Temple?”
“Is that even a question?”
Yun Xinyan snorted disdainfully, thinking Ye Tian’s question was childish.
“I heard from Sister Lan that the ancient texts of Lingyin Temple in Jiang City are considered the best in the country.
Many of these ancient texts have been passed down from very early times, especially the ‘Tribute of Yu’, which is said to be thousands of years old!”
“The ‘Tribute of Yu’!?”
Hearing this name, Ye Tian was astonished.
The so-called “Tribute of Yu” referred to an ancient map of China, thought to have been lost.
It was unexpected to find it in Lingyin Temple.
“Wife, did Sister Lan really say that?”
Ye Tian pressed on, as he currently hoped to obtain an ancient map to compare with the map he had gotten from the ancient tomb!
Upon seeing Ye Tian actually interested in ancient maps, Yun Xinyan was also somewhat surprised.
She slowly said, “Ye Tian, I heard all this from Sister Lan, and actually, I’m not very clear about it myself.
If you want to get to the bottom of it, you probably have to talk to Sister Lan in person.”
“Great!
Wife, let’s go to the company now!”
Ye Tian instantly stood up from the sofa.
He quickly washed up and changed into a set of clean clothes, then left the house with Yun Xinyan.
Yun Xinyan couldn’t help but glance at Ye Tian.
She really didn’t know what he had been up to lately.
Why was he now interested in maps?
The two of them, shoulder to shoulder, arrived at the Yun Corporation headquarters.
This scene of Yun Xinyan and her husband Ye Tian coming in together was rather rare.
The employees of Yun Corporation all greeted them one after another.
“President, good day!
Captain Ye, good day!”
“Captain Ye, long time no see, you’ve become even more handsome!”
…
Of course, there were also those who had figured out Yun Xinyan’s temper and even handed documents to Yun Xinyan.
“President, you must approve this payment today!”
All the people in Yun Corporation knew that whenever Yun Xinyan and Ye Tian came to work together, her mood would be very good, so they quickly brought some documents that Yun Xinyan hadn’t agreed to before for her to sign…
Yun Xinyan helplessly looked at these shameless employees, while at that time, Ye Tian couldn’t bother accompanying her anymore and went straight to the office of the HR director, Bai Lan.
Seeing Ye Tian come in, Bai Lan was immediately startled, her face filled with joy.
“Ye Tian, why are you here?”
Lately, Ye Tian hadn’t come to Yun Corporation headquarters at all, let alone get cozy with her.
Bai Lan had missed Ye Tian a lot but due to her position, she couldn’t take the initiative to find him.
So this time, with Ye Tian coming to her office on his own, Bai Lan was overjoyed!
“Sister Lan, I came because I missed you so much and wanted to see you!”
Ye Tian said with a smile, and of course, Bai Lan wasn’t a fool, she knew Ye Tian’s visit wasn’t just because he missed her.
Even so, Bai Lan immediately locked the office door and then threw herself into Ye Tian’s arms…
“Ye Tian, do you know how lonely I felt without you?”
Bai Lan said mournfully, as a strong woman, she probably only showed her lonely and desolate side in front of Ye Tian…
Ye Tian was not shy, slowly placing his hand on Bai Lan’s back.
Her body fragrance immediately entered his nostrils, she was wearing a rose-scented perfume today, the scent was quite strong, a type only mature women preferred.
“Sister Lan, isn’t that why I came?
Now that I’m here, you won’t feel lonely anymore!”
Ye Tian said laughing, and although Bai Lan didn’t take any further intimate steps, she was still one of his women, so Ye Tian wouldn’t neglect her…
Bai Lan nestled in Ye Tian’s arms for a while, then returned to her seat.
“Ye Tian, I heard from Xinyan that you’ve been very busy lately, what have you been up to?”
Bai Lan asked directly, but Ye Tian naturally couldn’t tell her the truth.
“I’ve been busy with all sorts of things, Sister Lan.
That’s how life is, always busy!”
“All sorts of things?”
Bai Lan knew Ye Tian hadn’t told her the truth, but at the moment, she didn’t mind.
“So, did you come to work at Yun Corporation today specifically for the thing you’re busy with?”
Bai Lan hit the nail on the head, voicing what was in Ye Tian’s mind.
“It’s just like Sister Lan to foresee everything!” Ye Tian laughed, then added, “In fact, Sister Lan, I heard from Xinyan that you’re a frequent visitor at Lingyin Temple and I also heard that there are many ancient books from Jiangcheng there, is that so?”
“Yes.”
Bai Lan nodded.
There was no reason for her to hide anything in front of Ye Tian.
“Lingyin Temple is a millennium-old temple, so it has quite a lot of scriptures in its library.
However, many ancient books only have collectible value and are not suitable for display.”
“What do you mean?”
Ye Tian was a bit surprised, not understanding what Bai Lan meant.
“Ye Tian, as a frequent visitor of Lingyin Temple, I can only enter the library there, but I can’t browse those ancient books because they are severely damaged by moisture.
Just flipping through them would cause the books to fall apart, and the monks of Lingyin Temple won’t allow us to touch those books either.”
Bai Lan patiently explained, and Ye Tian finally understood.
“I see, Sister Lan, how about you take me to Lingyin Temple to have a look after work today?”
Ye Tian requested, Bai Lan was a bit surprised.
“Ye Tian, if you really are going for the ancient books at Lingyin Temple, I’m afraid it won’t be possible as you wish.
I indeed can take you into the library, but if you mess around in there and make Lingyin Temple dislike me, I won’t take you there!”
