When Jing Jiu returned to the Fruit Formation Temple, he saw a familiar young monk approaching. In comparison to his appearance years ago, this monk's face had grown darker, with more of an experienced look.
The young monk was extremely thrilled to see Jing Jiu. He uttered "Ahh" first, and then clasped his mouth with his hands reflexively, not daring to speak.
Jing Jiu tended to take affairs and people lightly; but somehow, he always felt happy to see this young monk, which was probably due to fate. "We meet again," he said to the monk with a small smile.
Hearing Jing Jiu greeting him, the young monk grew even more thrilled, nodding his head frequently, but he didn't forget to make the Zen gesture with one hand; he looked quite ludicrous.
Seeing his demeanor, Jing Jiu felt somewhat surprised, and asked, "Are you still practicing the Vow of Silence?"
