Chapter 294X. *Mahayana*
# 294X. *Mahayana*
“All things in the world have heart. If one holds compassion, and resonates with the hearts of all things, then why be restricted by the words of man?”
The old monk clasped his hands together, remaining calm and unperturbed by Xu Qi'an's words.
*Then why the hell are you speaking to me in the Great Feng Mandarin rather than a western region language eh?* Xu Qi'an thought to himself, then said bluntly:
"Let’s cut to the chase. How will we compete? Don’t waste my time with philosophical nonsense."
"You are too attached to appearances. Why must there be a competition?" The old monk smiled faintly.
"It was clearly your Buddhist sect that proposed this competition. Isn’t your unreasonable behaviour a disgrace to the face of Buddhism?" Xu Qi'an frowned.
"Moments ago, you mentioned at the mountainside: 'A monk should let go of all earthly attachments.' If all earthly attachments are gone, then what is ‘face’?" The old monk's face remained serene as he slowly spoke.
"Fine, then how does master plan to test me?" Xu Qi'an held back his impatience.
