"The Diamond Sutra, the Sutra of the Lotus of the Wonderful Dharma, some well-known Buddhist Scriptures were being recited by these monks in a low murmur, but it seemed as though the monks were simply going through the motions, without genuine focus or devotion.
In contrast, the devout villagers of Little Stone Village worshiped Buddha with a look of reverence in their eyes, clearly holding Buddha's position in their hearts as the utmost supreme.
Underneath a mulberry tree, Ye Xuan stood alone, leaning against the tree. He watched the ongoing worship with a detached gaze, not participating.
To Ye Xuan, the so-called Immortals and Buddhas were hardly worth mentioning. Naturally, he would not bow before a Buddha statue like the villagers, nor had he ever taken the Western Lingshan and The Thunderclap Monastery seriously.
