Half a year later, when a party of Western people spotted a gaunt, deeply sun-tanned monk in a small town at the foot of Wudang Mountain, one of them spoke up: "Venerable One, there is a monk over there. Could he be the Scripture Seeker?"
The Venerable One glanced at the tanned monk and said, "The Scripture Seeker is supposed to be fair-skinned and handsome. That monk looks like an ascetic practitioner at first glance. Still, he might have seen the Scripture Seeker. Let's go down and ask."
The group descended on a cloud and walked toward the tanned monk.
