In the summer of 1930, I visited Emei again. In order to covet the sea of ​​clouds, Buddha's light, and holy lamps, I kept the Golden Dome for seven days. I heard the mountain monk say: "There is a monk in the old forest in the back mountain, who has been practicing the art of flying for three years." I secretly admired him. One fine day, I invited two good people to visit me in the back mountain. After passing Qianfoding and Wanfoding temples, we arrived at a thatched hut on Xiaosheshen Rock. This place is already inaccessible, but there is a monk from Hubei cultivating the Pure Land in the nunnery. I asked him about the monk who practiced Feiteng. He said: "The old monk has been in seclusion all day long and has not heard anything about foreign affairs. I don't know who is practicing Feiteng." Then he closed his eyes and closed his mouth, saying no more. My two companions saw a cliff of ten thousand feet on the left and a pine forest on the right. The road was cut off and the pines were rustling. They couldn't help but become a little timid and said: "Practice flying, but the mountain monk's words deceive the pilgrims. This old monk lives on the edge of this forest, and I don't know that there is such a person." , Jinding is twenty miles away, how can we know better than him? It is already past noon, and if we continue to go forward, we are afraid of encountering tigers and wolves. Besides, the wind and rain are unpredictable on the top of the mountain, so we should go back early. "I thought: We are close to the forest, if there is someone, it must not be far away. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort to turn back midway and miss the mark? Looking at the traces on the grass, there seems to be a trail running through the forest. So, I asked them to rest here for a while, and let me explore a few miles further. If there is no news, it will not be too late to return to the temple together. They couldn't fall in love, so they had to agree. Coincidentally, I walked five or six miles forward and saw a thatched hut with smoke coming out of it, so I ran back happily and invited the two of them to go and have a look. Unexpectedly, when the two of them saw that the sun was turning to the west, they couldn't help but turn around and walked back the way they came. I caught up with them out of breath and tried to persuade them to stop them, but they always refused. As a last resort, I had to accompany them back to the temple.
