Early in the morning, Qin Mu came to the monastery of buddhism in Li City and knocked on the door. He sought an audience and said, "I'm here to meet Old Ma."
The monk that received him hurriedly went back to inform his request.
The reason why Qin Mu said Old Ma—not Rulai Ma—was because Rulai Ma was the leader of buddhism. Rulai Ma needed to oversee Great Thunderclap Monastery and promote buddhism. On the other hand, Old Ma was his kin.
One was identity while the other one was kinship.
Coming to meet Rulai Ma, he needed to use the identities of Human Emperor and Heavenly Saint Cult Master. On the other hand, when meeting Old Ma, his identity was just a child raised by him.
After a moment, the receiving monk came forward and said, "Old Ma invites you to come in."
