While other officials came to Chanyin Temple purely to burn incense and pray for blessings, Gao Fugong had a different purpose. With a solemn expression and head slightly lowered, he walked with single-minded focus, not even glancing at the people entering and exiting on either side.
All the officials knew that Gao Fugong's appearance at Chanyin Temple must be for an important matter, so they consciously stepped aside to make way for him. Relatively speaking, Gao Fugong's rank as a third-rank official was slightly higher than that of ordinary third-rank officials.
Led by a young novice monk, Gao Fugong walked past one Buddhist temple and main hall after another. As he walked, he could not help but inwardly complain. In the past, whenever he came to Chanyin Temple on official business, many abbots would greet him personally, and at the very least, a high monk of abbot rank would come out to welcome him from afar.
