Accused by a Rank Two Bodhisattva of being a corrupt official, the Pacification Commissioner of Shantong Prefecture was not someone to be trifled with. He sat in his seat, arms crossed over his chest, and retorted, "As a Rank Two Bodhisattva of Buddhism, if you want to act chivalrously and wipe out corrupt officials, you can simply go ahead and do it yourself. Who in this world could stop you? Why drag us to the Netherworld? You know perfectly well the real reason for this, so why put on such a self-righteous act?"
Yu Hong and Zhou Minmin, who were still in a state of shock, finally came to their senses. Viewing the situation through the lens of modern logic—transcending the world's conventional notions of good and evil—they realized in an instant that the reason Buddhism had invited them here was not merely to discern right from wrong.
If it were only about distinguishing between good and evil, as the Pacification Commissioner of Shantong Prefecture had said, with two Rank Two Bodhisattvas, if you had obtained evidence against someone and wished to act with chivalry, how many people in the world could stop you? And in truth, no one would try.
