Li Yuan had a pleasant chat with this group of younger brothers and laughed, "Sure."
Upon his agreement, all five of them were overjoyed.
Along the way, Li Yuan casually pointed out some insights on the path of cultivation for the five of them.
When they arrived at the monastery, it was indeed as Liu Buqu had said, filled with incense offerings and worshippers.
Though not grand, it exuded an ancient simplicity.
The abbot of the monastery was skilled in medicine, and even at this late hour, he was out and about, responding to a call from the novice monk that he had gone to save someone in the neighboring village.
The novice monk was also familiar with the five people, and quickly arranged a vegetarian meal, followed by accommodations in a meditation room for them to rest.
The snowy night was long, and Li Yuan strolled through the monastery, where some homeless people and travelers were also staying.
Even at midnight, there were still people worshipping Buddha in the main hall.
