A Mad Monk from Beiliang? Have You Heard of the Dragon-Subduing Arhat?

In Beiliang's Wudi City, there was a mad, eccentric monk.

He never abstained from alcohol, and he tucked into meat with great relish.

Everyone laughed at him, saying he'd been expelled from the Buddhist order because he couldn't control his appetite.

But he had his own way of looking at things.

He said, "Wine and meat pass through the gut, but Buddha remains in the heart. If the world follows my example, it will fall into the demonic path."

Everyone just laughed, thinking he was crazy. No one took him seriously.

That is, until Xuanyuan Jingcheng challenged the Xuanyuan family's patriarch at Snowy Terrace.

Just as Xuanyuan Jingcheng was about to lose and die in battle,

a mad, eccentric monk suddenly appeared, waving a tattered fan.

In a drunken voice, he said, "Brother Xuanyuan, we once shared a drink!"

"So today, I will protect him. You can't kill him!"

That day,

a golden dragon seemed to emerge above Snowy Terrace, its soaring roar echoing throughout the Nine Provinces.

Only then did everyone realize that this crazy monk might actually be more than he seemed!
