Folklore

I can't remember which year it was. A traveling monk started from Mount Emei, passed through thousands of rocks and ravines, and came to Yandang Mountain thousands of miles away. He loved it so much that he lived in Feiquan temple. The monk, known as master Ziyun, was originally a white crane boy who was in charge of fairy grass in Kunlun mountain. He has extraordinary ability to kill demons and monsters all the way. Since he came to Feiquan temple, he has been patrolling mountains and ravines every day, destroying all those white haired mice and one armed apes. Pilgrims continued. The Jade Emperor in the sky heard Da Yue and named him "Yandang reception monk". Monk Ziyun was very happy. From then on, he was busy all year round, receiving pilgrims. There is a big cave five miles away from Feiquan temple. There is a bat spirit living in the cave. He has been a semi immortal for many years and can perform magic. It is said that master Ziyun has always held a grudge against his good friend white haired mouse spirit and one armed ape monster. So he turned into a wandering monk holding a wooden fish and reciting the Buddha's name, and came to find master Ziyun to make trouble.

Master Ziyun is chanting scriptures in the main hall. He hears from his apprentice that a younger martial brother has something to see him. He immediately gets up to meet him. When I got to the gate of the mountain, I looked up and was surprised. But he was a monk with a face full of flesh and a big stomach. He held a Zen stick in his right hand and a wooden fish in his left hand. There was a killing opportunity between his eyebrows. Master Ziyun knew that those who came were not good, but he still treated them with courtesy. He opened his mouth and cried out, "where are you from, younger martial brother?" Bat Spirit said bluntly: "I'm from all over the world. I'm wandering. I'm going to visit the three treasures hall today. I'm here to learn from my elder martial brother." Master Ziyun recognized that there was a sting in his words and said quickly, "you and I are all vegetarians. We should respect each other. But I don't know which volume of Scripture do you like to listen to?" The bat listened attentively and laughed twice, which made the osmanthus leaves in front of Feiquan Temple fall one after another. He thought master Ziyun was weak and incompetent, so he said, "I like to hear the" difficult Sutra "that Tang Sanzang got from the West most!" "Isn't that easy?" Master Ziyun replied brightly, "listen to the Scriptures sincerely. Please go to the main hall to offer you the fragrance." The bat Spirit said, "well, please show me the way."

Master Ziyun knew that a fierce battle was inevitable today. He intended to test the truth of the opponent. Without saying a word, he jumped forward and flew in from the three Zhang high wall of Feiquan temple.

Bat spirit sneered: "you run away, can you rest easy?" With that, he took off his cassock and threw the wooden fish hard. The wooden fish rolled into Feiquan temple. Bat essence originally hoped that the wooden fish asked the way, but when there was a fragrance, the wooden fish did not roll out. It is silly, feel things are not good, do not know what to do? Go in, master Yun took the wooden fish away with his magic power. If you don't go in, it's obviously downwind. Well, even if you should give up your life today, you have to go in! The bat spirit leaps forward, flies on the wall, and looks inside. He sees that the main hall is resplendent, and master Ziyun is shutting his eyes in the hall. The wooden fish that just rolled into the temple is lying upright on the soft sandbag. There is a big pot in the yard, and the oil waves in the pot are rolling. He doesn't know what to do with it. Seeing this, he even felt a little chilly in his back. Master Ziyun has already seen every move of bat spirit. He opened his eyes slightly and called softly, "younger martial brother, please come to the main hall." Bat spirit hard mouth guilty to promise a way: "really difficult for elder martial brother." Then he ran straight to the main hall. Master Ziyun took off his patchwork clothes, flew onto the steaming oil pan, and walked along the edge of the pan as light as the ground. His face does not change color, heart does not jump, smile to invite bat spirit up to play. Bat spirit a look, don't feel in the heart secretly surprise: with oneself this body for many years practice of light body skill, this have what terrible? One by one, he won just to avenge Qu's dead friend. He leaned his Zen stick against the pillar and followed closely.

Like walking on a tightrope, they chased each other. They walked for three days and nights, forgetting their hunger and thirst. They couldn't tell the difference between them. Master Ziyun's disciples kept adding firewood to stir up the fire. Until the morning of the seventh day, master Ziyun was still in high spirits, but the bat spirit was smoking in the throat, blistering on both feet, and growling with hunger, and gradually couldn't support it. A careless, rolled into the hot oil pan. It was so painful that it yelled "ouch" and ran out desperately to return to the thousand year old cave and closed the door tightly. From then on, bat spirit's eyes were blinded by oil and his throat was hot and hoarse. He could no longer see anything, so he had to find some insects in the night sky to satisfy his hunger. In addition, the Antarctic Fairy on Kunlun Mountain found that the white crane boy had disappeared. He had been down to earth for 50 years. He drove an auspicious cloud to the beautiful Yandang Mountain. Master Ziyun welcomed the Antarctic fairy into the main hall and begged the old fairy to let him stay to welcome the guests. The old fairy said with a smile: "all the demons in Yandang Mountain have been eliminated. I will leave the monks to receive the guests, and the people can safely offer incense. Xianshan Ganoderma lucidum is unguarded. You'd better go back with me! "

Master Ziyun rose to the sky, looked back, and suddenly saw a tall stone statue standing in the East Valley of Yandang Mountain. The stone monk wore a cassock and bowed his hands, as if he was greeting visitors from afar. Master Ziyun knew in his heart: This is the reception monk left by the old fairy!
