During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, there were more than five monks in the governor of Daizhou, all of whom were afraid of evil and falsehood. Unless there is an abbot, they know it. The guest monk is afraid of being chased and has many rights to escape to the valley. Those who have farang go deep into Yanmen Mountain. There are holes in the secluded stream, and people can go in and out. Rondo's dry food made him want to live in this mountain, so he found a hole to go in. Hundreds of steps are gradually widened, and the ground, wading and crossing the shore are very clear. Two miles further, we arrived at the hut, where there were women wearing grass blades, and their faces were beautiful. Seeing that Ashi was afraid, the monk asked Yun, "Who are you?" The monk said, "I'm human, too." The woman smiled and said, "Is anyone willing to do this?" The monk said, "I serve Buddha. Buddha must give up form, so he. " Because he asked, "Who is the Buddha?" The monk has something to say. He smiled at each other and said, "That makes sense." Ask again: "What is the purpose?" Monks talk about the Diamond Sutra. Say yes, count to four. The monk asked, "What is this world?" The woman said, "I'm from Qin, and I'm working with Meng Tian to build the Great Wall. Tian Duo's maid, I couldn't wait and its disadvantages, so I fled here. Eating grass roots at first won't kill you. I don't know my age here, and I will never come to earth again. " So I left the monk and fed him with grass roots, which are not edible. After living here for more than forty days, the monk resigned temporarily and went out to beg. It is a mystery when Daizhou will prepare food.

During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the governor of Daizhou ordered all monks without official orders to be driven away, because there were too many tourists and monks in Wutai Mountain for fear of accidents. Most Hakkas temporarily fled to the valley for fear of being expelled. A monk named Farang escaped into the depths of Yanmen Mountain. There is a cave in the deep stream of Yanmen Mountain, which can accommodate people in and out. Farang brought more dry food and wanted to live in this mountain, so he found a hole and went in. After hundreds of steps, it gradually became empty. When we reached the flat land, we crossed the other shore through running water, where the sun and the moon were very bright. After walking two miles, I came to a small house. There are women in the hut, wearing grass leaves, but their faces are dignified and beautiful. When she saw the monk, she was afraid and surprised. She asked the monk, "Who are you?" The monk said, "I am human!" " "The woman smiled and said," Is there such a skeleton? " The monk said, "If I serve the Buddha, the Buddha will come down, so that's why. "By the way, she asked," What does the Buddha do? " Fallon told her in detail. The women looked at each other and said with a smile, "What he said is very reasonable." Ask again: "What is the purpose of Buddhism?" Farang explained the Diamond Sutra to them. They praised and cheered again and again. Fallon asked them, "What kind of world is this? The woman said, "We came from the Qin Dynasty and built the Great Wall with Meng Tian. Meng Tian used many women, so we couldn't stand the torture and fled here. At the beginning, eating grass roots saved me from dying. I didn't know my age when I came, and I never came to this world again. "So they left Fallon and fed him with grass roots. Grass roots are so astringent that they can't be eaten at all. After staying here for more than forty days, Fallon temporarily left and went to the earth to look for food. When he arrived in Daizhou to prepare food, he got lost and didn't know where that place was.
