The morning classes of monks in the temple had begun. The sound of the morning bell and the arrangement of the sitting mats in the incense hall seemed to be in place. A monk in a white plain monk's robe was knocking a wooden fish in the main hall and chanting sutras in silence.

Gu Yun glanced around and saw that no one noticed him from far and near. He quickly sneaked into the incense hall, grabbed a handful of copper and silver coins, and threw them into the donation box. Then he picked up two incense sticks with disdain, shook his wrists and lit them, stretching his arms, trying to keep the smoke away from him.

Gu Yun picked up the incense and glanced up at the Golden Buddha statue in front of him. He said to himself, "Do I have to worship this thing?"

Then he made a decision in a blink of an eye: "Forget it."

He didn't even have the proper posture of worship, only nodded his head to Buddha as if this was as far as he could go to display respect. He quickly inserted the incense in his hand into the censer, turned his head to Huo Dan and said, "It's done. Let's go."

Huo Dan: "..."

It was the first time in his long life that he saw someone worship Buddha with such arrogance. Their Marquis was not so much coming to worship Buddha as he was waiting for Buddha to come and worship him.

Just when Gu Yun had dealt with the incense quickly and was about to leave the hall, the monk who was hiding nearby knocking on the wooden fish suddenly stood up and turned around, smiling to Gu Yun and saying, "How is the Marquis doing?"

Gu Yun: "..."

He made complete preparations to avoid people's eyes and ears. Unexpectedly, he had bumped into the stinky monk here in the incense hall. He must have forgotten to look at the golden calendar before going out.

Liao Ran smiled and gestured at him, asking, "Why did the Marquis come? It must not be for praying."

Gu Yun looked somewhat unnatural and said, "Repaying the wish."

Liao Ran said: "Since the Marquis is willing to come, why not be more sincere. It's too hasty to come and go like this."

Gu Yun cursed 'how unlucky' secretly, but smiled politely on the outside: "Since my heart is sincere enough, why must we cling to custom? Master, are you blinded by outward appearance? "

Liao Ran clasped his hands in front of his chest, bowed his head, and said frankly: "Marshal Gu naturally understood Buddha's teaching, truly an admiration for us monks. It is true — you can remember to come all the way to express your thanks, then you must have been very sincere the moment when you made the wish. As you came here today, of course, it was also to give your heart to our Buddha."
