For several consecutive days, Zixiu and his disciple Kaijie were so disturbed by the eerie sound of a wooden fish in the dead of night that they could not find peace of mind. Yet, after a thorough investigation, they found nothing at all.
The nocturnal wooden fish would suddenly arrive and just as suddenly depart, leaving master and disciple completely baffled. Not daring to speak of it to outsiders, they had to keep their anxiety tightly bottled up inside.
For several consecutive nights thereafter, that strange wooden fish sound did not appear again, and the master and disciple gradually set their minds at ease. No matter what sort of entity was practicing sorcery and making mischief, as long as it did not come to disturb the peace of Jincan Temple, they would let it be.
