Bab 549: Green Marks on the Tomb

The dark-skinned young monk, named Guan Hai, was the last disciple of Lanke Temple's elder, Master Qishan. While he did not have a job in the Lanke Temple, his position and status were extremely high, equivalent to that of the abbot.

Last winter, Guan Hai went to Chang'an City personally and handed the invitation to Ning Que to the Yue Laan Hungry Ghost Festival. He had also issued a challenge at the same time. Ning Que had sat quietly on the shore of Yanming Lake for half a day, and he finally understood some things. Then, he returned to the South Gate Taoism Temple and narrowly won.

Ning Que had a good impression of monk Guan Hai, because the young monk was extremely gentle and kind despite his persistence. Guan Hai's teacher had once consulted the Headmaster and thought highly of the Academy, offering his praises. As such, Guan Hai longed to visit the Academy and was extremely respectful to the disciples on the Second floor of the Academy.
