Xiao Mo and Jiang Xin settled down in Kongnian Temple.
After arriving at Kongnian Temple, Xiao Mo and Jiang Xin were placed in a rather secluded courtyard, some distance away from where the regular monks lived.
After bringing Jiang Xin to Kongnian Temple, Xiao Mo did not leave immediately, instead staying for several days.
During those five or six days, Xiao Mo often went to the front hall of Kongnian Temple, the place where pilgrims burned incense and prayed to the buddhas.
Although Kongnian Temple had an excellent reputation, Xiao Mo still wanted to see the foremost Buddhist Temple in the Western Regions with his own eyes.
What struck him as most different from his impression of Buddhist Temples was that Kongnian Temple had no so-called "first incense," nor did it rank pilgrims by status.
It didn't matter how much money you donated to the temple.
Donating a thousand taels of Silver was treated the same as donating a single copper coin.
