Under the bodhi tree, Fangzheng lacked the mood to start reading Buddhist scriptures. There were many sentient beings in the monastery to begin with, and now there was a new member in the form of a salted fish which could speak. This vexed him a little. After all, this fish was obviously quite a piece of work. He needed to think of a way to take Salted Fish down a peg or two, so as to make him abide by the rules. Otherwise, if he were to jump up and demand people to call him 'Ancestor' the moment he saw anyone, who could accept that?
Therefore, Fangzheng got up and walked out One Finger Monastery. He saw Salted Fish making poses in preparation to jump into the Heavenly Dragon Pond.
Fangzheng coughed dryly and said, "Wait a moment!"
