Bab 227: Chapter 226: A Minor Request

Master Wu Zhi escorted Chen Afu out of the Zen room, then nimbly turned back, opened the cabinet, and took out the box. He looked at it greedily, sniffed it, stroked his beard and laughed for a while. Finally, he pulled out the green swallow nest, put it back in the box, and placed it back into his cabinet.

He said to another young monk who was about seven or eight years old, "Gui Er, I'm going to be making medicine behind closed doors for twenty days, seeing no one... ah, no, I'm not seeing anyone for thirty days. I will be making medicine for the first twenty days, and incense for the last ten days. Vegetarian meals will be left at the doorstep of the medicine or incense room. Remember, no one is allowed to disturb me. As for Master Li, your senior brother Gui Ling can give him acupuncture treatment tomorrow, then ask him to come back to the temple after two months."

The little monk Gui Er quickly bowed in agreement.
