After Wangkong left Suisui's courtyard yesterday, he immediately went to report the matter to the Abbot.
The Abbot was shocked when he heard this and promptly reported the matter to the highest authority in Qixia Temple, Master Le Kong!
"Amitabha! Wangkong, bring the child here immediately. Let me see her!"
The authoritative voice of the old monk echoed from his meditation chamber. Wangkong did not dare to delay and promptly responded, "Yes!"
He then turned and descended the stairs.
"The Yunhang calamity has inflicted suffering upon the common folk, resulting in their displacement. All the monks in our temple who have yet to sever worldly ties should go down the mountain and experience the mortal world!"
"Yes! I have already prepared the list and will arrange it promptly."
"I recall, Wangkong's journey in the mortal world—it's been thirteen years since then, hasn't it?"
Old Monk Liao Kong's voice carried a solemnity tinged with regret.
