Fahai was startled by the sight, pondered for a moment, and asked slowly, "Why do you call me master? Who are you?"
"Master, I was originally the Curtain-Lifting General of the Heavenly Court. Because I accidentally shattered a glass lamp, I was banished to the mortal world to reflect on my faults here in the Flowing Sand River. Later, Guanyin Bodhisattva guided me, telling me that a scripture seeker heading to the Western Paradise would pass by this place, and instructed me to take him as my master. When the time comes, the Bodhisattva will send an emissary to help the scripture seeker cross the river."
Hearing this, Fahai nodded and thought to himself: *So that's how it is. Since this big man has mistaken me for the scripture seeker, I might as well play along to fool him and save my own life.*
