Chapter 1259: How did you end up like this? Chapter 1259: How did you end up like this? The sumr sky lightened early, and Jolson, wearing a peaked cap inside the car, had a face that Hannah Garcia could barely make out at the mont.
The car followed the directions given by Grayson Thomas, bumping along the way.
After a long drive up the mountain road, they finally arrived at their destination.
Seeing the sign hanging at the entrance, Hannah Garcia was surprised.
“Clear Temple!”
This was a temple? Had that woman Alia beco a nun, or was she just staying here temporarily?
The doors of Clear Temple were already open, and the sound of reciting the sutras could be heard from inside.
Hannah Garcia was still being pressed down by Jolson.
Jolson walked with a floating, yet urgent stride, and everyone followed his pace into the temple.
The place was truly very quiet; aside from them, no outsiders were present.
There were only the sounds of the mountains and the reciting of sutras, a power that could bring peace to one’s mind.
When their group arrived at where the sutras were being recited, Hannah Garcia saw about twenty nuns, uniformly dressed in blue cloth garnts, all with shaved heads—even dotted on top—old and young alike…
They sat there quietly, tapping wooden fish and reciting sutras.
Different from what Hannah Garcia had seen in many other temples, this was purely a place for monastics, even for ascetics.
Yes, it must be asceticism!
Had they renounced the secular world?
Their arrival did not disturb the nuns from continuing their recitation.
What kind of mindset did it take to remain so composed, unaffected by any disturbance from the outside world?
Watching this scene, Jolson was undoubtedly the most shocked, having never expected to see such a group of ascetic won.
With their eyes closed, they continued reciting the sutras.
Despite this, Jolson still spotted his sister Alia at first glance.
Yes, she wasn’t dead!
She really wasn’t dead!
This discovery was undeniably exciting and thrilling for him.
For a mont, he forgot that the current Alia was an ascetic.
Following Jolson’s gaze, Hannah Garcia’s eyes landed on a nun ditating on the right side, her eyes closed, her complexion fair, and her features distinct, likely of mixed heritage just like Jolson.
Without opening her eyes, Hannah Garcia couldn’t determine her exact appearance, but from this angle, among all the ascetic nuns, she was the most beautiful.
No doubt, before taking up asceticism, she must have been a stunning woman.
They could wait for the nuns to finish reciting the sutras, but Jolson couldn’t wait any longer; he went straight to Alia’s side, calling out her na without any hesitation, “Alia… Alia… Alia…”
Alia continued reciting sutras, unmoved.
Seeing Alia so serene and undisturbed, Jolson grew anxious.
“Alia, I’m your brother Jolson, look at ! Never mind these things for now, okay? Look at … look at …” Jolson’s eyes were actually brimming with tears.
This mont took Hannah Garcia by surprise.
Finally, when all the nuns stopped hitting the wooden fish and ceased their chanting, they opened their eyes.
It was then that Alia also opened her eyes.
The other ascetic nuns left in an orderly fashion, but Alia did not move; she stayed behind.
The lead elder nun glanced calmly at the outsiders, then looked at Alia, and without saying a word, followed the others out.
What a remarkable scene! Having spent so many years in tropolis, she had never known of such an ascetic temple hidden in the mountains.
