Kapitel 731: The Academy Is Still Young

A child was cracking stones outside the town of Tile Mountain.

Since the stone Buddha collapsed and the Lanke Temple was destroyed that year, the Yue Laan Hungry Ghost Festival had never convened again. There were naturally few tourists coming to the town of Tile Mountain and the stone pond on the street had already dried up.

Nowadays, people made a living mainly by repairing the Lanke Temple. They lived a good life thanks to the generous monks. Stones found everywhere in the mountains and valleys became the most handy toys for children. They were also the best source of finance because the stone's material was good and could be carved into a variety of small Buddha statues to sell for money.

According to what his mother had asked, the child wanted to break the two stones along the grain. However, since it was his first time doing this, he did not know how to do it well and failed to do so even though he tried long and hard.
