We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 185 A Buddha in One's Heart
Two months later, Xiao Mo arrived in a town.

This town, located not far from Kongnian Temple, is called Kongnian City.

As its name suggests, it is an attached town of Kongnian Temple.

Upon entering Kongnian City, Xiao Mo wondered if he had entered another world.

Walking on the streets of Kongnian City, you can see a Buddha statue in every household, whether it's a wine stall or a butcher shop.

A faint scent of incense mingled with the gentle breeze in the city.

Everyone looked very peaceful.

In the other cities Xiao Mo visited, he could sense the wariness between everyone to varying degrees.

You can even see thieves stealing things from time to time, and neighbors fighting and arguing with each other.
In short, he has a lot of hostility.

But everyone in this city is very happy.

However, to Xiao Mo's surprise...

This city, which is affiliated with Kongnian Temple, actually has brothels!

These brothel women solicit customers by the roadside, and when they see monks from Kongnian Temple passing by, they might even try to seduce them.

However, as far as Xiao Mo could see, not a single monk had entered.

The monks just smiled and then quickly moved away.

"Brother, isn't Kongnian City an annex of Kongnian Temple? It's one thing to have wine and meat, but how can they allow brothels in the city?"

Xiao Mo led Jiang Xin to sit down in front of a teahouse and asked the teahouse owner a question.

"Hahaha"

The tea shop owner said with a smile.

"Young man, you must be from out of town. This town used to be called Dengying City, and it didn't belong to Kongnian Temple."

Later, due to some events, the high monk of Kongnian Temple saved the life of the old city lord of Dengying City, so he took the initiative to attach himself to Kongnian Temple and changed his name to Kongnian City.

Although Kongnian Temple is nominally in charge of Kongnian City, in reality, Kongnian Temple does not interfere in any of Kongnian City's affairs.

The people of Kongnian City live their lives as they normally would, and Kongnian Temple did not force us to believe in Buddhism.

As for the Buddha statues you see in every household, young man, they were all obtained voluntarily by the people of the city.

Because the monks of Kongnian Temple often come down the mountain to help us exorcise demons and monsters.

The monks of Kongnian Temple can perform weddings, funerals, religious ceremonies, and even medical treatments.

Over time, people naturally started placing Buddha statues in their homes.

"I see." Xiao Mo nodded. "It seems that Kongnian Temple has a very good reputation."

“That would be wonderful,” the tea shop owner smiled. “They even helped us reclaim land and build some irrigation systems.”

Xiao Mo nodded, took a sip of tea, and remained silent, only glancing at Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin understood what Xiao Mo meant, and she nodded to indicate that everything he said was true.

After leaving the teahouse, Xiao Mo asked several more people from Kongnian City.

Everyone had a good impression of the monks at Kongnian Temple.

The people of Kongnian City all felt that Kongnian Temple was a good place, and that it was their good fortune to live there and receive its protection.

Xue Kui also said that Kong Nian Temple was very good.

With both pieces of evidence, Xiao Mo felt much more at ease about Kongnian Temple.

After paying for the tea, Xiao Mo led Jiang Xin to continue walking towards Kongnian Mountain, where Kongnian Temple was located.

Along the way, Xiao Mo encountered many people who were going to Kongnian Temple to worship Buddha.

In less than half an hour, Xiao Mo and his companion arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Xiao Mo raised his head and looked at the mountaintop, where Buddhist aura was strong and auspicious clouds were scattered.

If it wasn't a fabrication, then it can only mean that there are indeed many enlightened monks on the mountain.

"Let's go, Xin, we're going up the mountain," Xiao Mo said.

"Hmm."

Jiang Xin nodded and happily followed Xiao Mo up the mountain.

In a courtyard of Kongnian Temple.

Abbot Xujing was sitting in front of the Buddha statue, striking a wooden fish and chanting sutras. As he chanted, Xujing seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes.

He fiddled with the prayer beads in his hand, as if he were deducing something.

Finally, Xu Jing stood up, walked out of the courtyard, and headed towards the front hall of Kongnian Temple, where worshippers prayed to Buddha.

"Abbott."

"Abbott."

"I have met Master Xujing."

When the monks and pilgrims of Kongnian Temple saw the abbot arrive, they all put their hands together in a gesture of respect.

Xu Jing nodded to everyone and then continued walking towards the main gate of Kongnian Temple.

"Abbot, what brings you to the front hall?"

A monk named Wuguang stepped forward and asked curiously.

Xu Jing stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Since we have distinguished guests today, this old monk naturally has to entertain them. We can't neglect them."

"Distinguished guest?" Wuguang was taken aback, wondering which eminent monk had come.

After all, someone whose status must be quite high to be personally greeted by the abbot.

"Would you like to come with me to greet them?" Xu Jing asked Wu Guang.

"Yes, Abbot Uncle."

Wuguang bowed respectfully and followed behind the abbot.

The two arrived at the entrance of the main hall and gazed at the steps leading up the mountain not far away.

About half an incense stick later, a boy who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, but whose bone age was clearly only eleven, walked over with a little girl.

Wuguang frowned.

This little boy, despite his young age, exuded a menacing aura that made even himself feel uncomfortable.

Before Wuguang could recover, the abbot stepped forward, clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect, and said, "I am Xujing, the abbot of Kongnian Temple. I greet you two benefactors."

Xiao Mo looked at the kind-faced old monk with some surprise and returned the greeting, saying, "Did the abbot know that the two of us would be coming?"

"Hehehe." Xu Jing chuckled. "This old monk is also quite skilled in divination. Today, while I was chanting Buddhist scriptures, I had a premonition and made some deductions, knowing that a distinguished guest was coming."

"Then the master should know why I've come here."

“They should know,” Xu Jing nodded.

"Then I won't beat around the bush with you, Master. May I ask if Master Xujing would be willing to accept Axin as his disciple?" Xiao Mo asked directly.

Upon hearing Xiao Mo's words, Wu Guang, who was standing to the side, showed a hint of surprise.

What did the little boy say?
Let's set aside whether he knew that the abbot had never accepted any disciples.

There has never been a precedent in this world for a woman to practice Buddhism.

Wu Guang looked at the abbot, only to see the abbot turn his head and smile at the little girl next to Xiao Mo.

Jiangxin also looked directly into Xujing's eyes.

The little girl, who was originally a bit shy, looked at the abbot of Kongnian Temple with a curious expression.

"The same stone."

To some people, it looks like just a stone.

But some people think it looks like a lion.

Some people think she is a woman who is drunk and lying down.

Some people even thought it looked like a crocodile from the riverbank.

Xu Jing looked at Jiang Xin with a kind and gentle expression.

"Young lady, you can read the hearts of everyone in the world, so what do you see in my heart?"

Jiang Xin tilted her head slightly and slowly said, "I see a Buddha in your heart, Grandpa."

"Hahaha."

Xu Jing clasped his hands together and smiled.

"good."
