When Xiao Xiao and his party arrived at Wuxiang Temple, it was drizzling.

Wuxiang Temple is located on Wuxiang Mountain and is considered a holy place by all Buddhist practitioners in the cultivation world.

There are thousands of temples for cultivating true nature, but Wuxiang Temple is the one that gathers many eminent monks with profound Buddhist knowledge. Countless Buddhist practitioners have worked hard to cultivate in Wuxiang Temple.

Wuxiang Mountain is full of spiritual energy. The mountain gate hidden in the mist is even more solemn because of the thick dark clouds in the sky.

She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but just standing at the mountain gate here, she felt her mind calm down.

"Do we want to go in?" Xiao Xiao held the restless Xiaobai in his arms.

The other party seemed to be resisting this place and wanted to escape. She had to use all her strength to hold it down.

Yuan Xuan nodded, "Yes, I just happen to have something to ask you."

As soon as they finished speaking, the stones on both sides of the stairs moved, and then their outermost layer of shell slowly fell off, and then they suddenly opened their eyes.

Xiao Xiao was so frightened that he took a step back. "Is the stone a spirit?"

Yuan Xuan put his arm around Xiao Xiao's shoulder and soothed him softly, "Don't be afraid, they are the Buddhist monks guarding the mountain gate."

Soon, the stone shells on their bodies all fell off, revealing their true forms. They stared with their eyes wide open and said in a serious voice, "This is the sacred ground of Wuxiang Temple, no one is allowed to trespass without permission."

It has a bit of a furious meaning.

"I wonder if the Buddhist disciple Wuchen is in Wuxiang Temple now? I will come to visit him tomorrow."

When the two Buddhists heard the name of the layman who would be visiting tomorrow, their expressions slightly calmed down. "The Buddhist has been away preaching and hasn't returned yet. He should be back in the next two days. The layman can go into the temple and wait for him."

The two Buddhists bowed and made a gesture of invitation.

Yuanxuan took Xiao Xiao onto the stairs, but an accident happened. The two Buddhist practitioners agreed to let Yuanxuan go in, but they stopped Long Shen and Xiao Xiao.

"Wuxiang Temple is a sacred place. Please stop."

Xiao Xiao:?

"You are with him, can't we be together?" Xiao Xiao pointed at Yuan Xuan.

"No." The two Buddhist monks guarding the mountain gate cut through the iron road.

"Why? Is it because he has a higher level of cultivation and you have a lower level of cultivation? Or is it because he is a well-known lay Buddhist of tomorrow and you are just a little-known monk, why do you treat them differently?"

The two Buddhists neither acknowledged nor denied what Xiao Xiao said, but simply said, "Please forgive me, benefactor."

She really doesn't have the halo of the heroine. In the original novel, Qiao Shiyu easily entered the Wuxiang Temple and was welcomed by the people there.

"Xiaoxiao, why don't you wait here?" Yuanxuan asked.

This is Wuxiang Temple, and even Xianzhi wouldn't dare to come here and act wildly. Xiao Xiao stayed here, and he didn't worry about her safety.

But Xiao Xiao was not convinced and she insisted on entering Wuxiang Temple.

"It is said that Wuxiang Temple gathers many Buddhist practitioners with profound Buddhist teachings. Now it seems to be no different. Even a non-Buddhist like you understands this principle, but you don't understand it?"

The two Buddhist monks who were guarding looked at each other and nodded, "Please teach us, benefactor."

After all, they are just following the sect's rules, but that doesn't mean they are insolent.

"Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time there was a mountain called Wutai, and on the mountain there was a Lingjiu Temple. Every spring month, according to custom, an open meeting was held. Whether monks or lay people, monks or lay people, men or women, old or young, rich or poor, or even beggars, everyone could participate equally and enjoy the vegetarian meal together."

The two Buddhist monks nodded. Before they came to Wuxiang Temple, they had also followed the temple in offering alms and food, and they treated everyone equally.

Xiao Xiao's voice was still going on, "On this day, Lingjiu Temple held an unobstructed meeting as usual. There was a long queue in front of the temple, with both rich and poor people. The rich people added a lot of money for incense, and even if the surnames were not rich, they would bring some fruits and vegetables to show their respect."

Well, that didn't seem to be a problem, and they continued listening.

"A female donor came with her two children and a dog to beg for food. She brought nothing but a pair of scissors and cut off a lock of her hair as a gift to ask the temple for alms."

The two Buddhists frowned slightly when they heard this.

They, the Buddhist practitioners, did not reject the diners from Kong 꿛땤, but this action made them feel a little strange.

"The female donor entered the temple smoothly. Among them, Mr. Zhao, who had given a small amount of money for incense, wanted to have some snacks before breakfast to fill his stomach. The temple's novice monk readily agreed.

While getting food, she met the donor who said she had something urgent to do and wanted to eat first, but the young monk refused, saying it was not time to eat yet. The donor asked why others could eat first but she couldn't. The monk replied, "The one who ate first is the donor of the temple. He donates countless money to the temple every day."

Comparing the two, the two Buddhist practitioners looked somewhat unhappy, thinking that Xiao Xiao was trying to mock them.

But Mr. Mingri is not their donor, and their Wuxiang Temple does not need any donations.

"The female donor was very angry when she heard this and said, 'All living beings are equal, how can there be distinctions between noble and humble?' But the young nun still firmly refused. It was not until the temple abbot came out and agreed to the female donor's request after listening to the whole process."

Everyone's attention was attracted by Xiao Xiao's story and they listened patiently.

"The abbot asked the novice monk to bring a portion of vegetarian food for the female donor and her children. But the female donor said that her dog also needs something to eat. But the novice monk said that the vegetarian association only provides food for people, not animals. What do the two monks think?"

"Amitabha, all sentient beings are equal." One of the Buddhist practitioners put his palms together and said.

Xiao Xiao nodded, "That female donor also said that all living beings are equal, without distinction. The abbot agreed to her request. But the female donor stopped the little nun again, saying that she had another baby in her belly and also needed food. What does the abbot think?"

Another Buddhist monk spoke up, "That female donor is too greedy. How can a fetus that has not yet been born be considered a child? She is asking for so much simply because she is greedy for food."

Xiao Xiao shook his head. "The female donor only said one sentence, bitter melon is bitter even to the root, sweet melon is sweet even to the stem, and there is no place in the world, which made Master feel disgusted. Then her true body appeared. It turned out that she was the special Master."

This Bodhisattva had long given up on the world of righteousness, but he did not expect to be rejected today.

"The bodhisattva also said, 'All living beings learn equality, their minds follow the waves of the myriad conditions; their bodies and bodies are all abandoned, so what is love or hate?' Master, do you know what this really means?"

The purpose of establishing the Unobstructed Assembly is to learn equality, but the mind is disturbed by the circumstances and differentiates among sentient beings.

Knowing clearly that the body is impermanent and the bones will cease to exist, hatred and love are especially heavy. In this way, when will we be able to truly cultivate equality?

When the two Buddhist practitioners heard Xiao Xiao's revelation which was full of Buddhist meaning, they were shocked and kept murmuring Xiao Xiao's words. However, their hearts seemed to be covered by a veil and they seemed to understand but not quite.

"Please teach me, benefactor."

"Hold the mind like the earth, like water, fire, and wind; there is no difference, no distinction, and ultimately like the void."

This little story was a legend about a great bodhisattva that she had heard before. She never expected that the same thing happened to the bodhisattva as well.

"Hold the mind like the earth, like water, fire, and wind; there is no difference, no distinction, and ultimately like the void."

The two Buddhist practitioners were struck by lightning and their minds could not calm down for a long time. They kept muttering these words, as if they had received the Buddha's instructions.

"Amitābha, what you said is absolutely right." Suddenly, a cold male voice came from behind.

Xiao Xiao turned around and saw a Buddhist monk in gray clothes, a straw raincoat and a Zen staff standing not far away. He didn't know when he arrived or how long he had been listening.

He raised his head, revealing a face that was cold and indifferent to worldly affairs.

"Buddha Wuchen." Upon hearing the voice, the two Buddhist practitioners nearby hurriedly bowed to the person coming over.

It turns out that this person is the Buddha's son.

"Mr. Mingtian, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently?" The Buddhist disciple Wuchen bowed to Yuanxuan.

Yuan Xuan also returned the greeting and said, "Thank you for your concern, I hope everything goes well tomorrow."

After Wu Chen and Yuan Xuan finished greeting each other, he turned his gaze to Xiao Xiao and saluted her. "Your words have enlightened me. This matter is the result of the Wu Xiang Temple's attachment to the image. I hope you will forgive me."

Xiao Xiao was so frightened that he quickly returned the greeting, "Master, please don't mind my outspokenness."

What a joke! This is a Buddhist from Wuxiang Temple. It's really embarrassing for her.

"Open the gate quickly to welcome the distinguished guest."

The two Buddhist practitioners who had stopped Xiao Xiao before responded respectfully, then stretched out their arms and made a gesture of invitation.

"I wonder if we can take our spirit beast with us?" Xiao Xiao was a little hesitant.

Buddhism is a pure place, will the Buddha allow evil cultivators to enter?

Wuchen Buddha just took a look at the monster in Xiao Xiao's arms, and Xiaobai's hair immediately stood up.

"Of course."

Then Xiao Xiao and Yuan Xuan were respectfully invited into the mountain gate by the Buddhist disciples of Wuxiang Temple.
