Again, this was requested by the master.
But one night, Mingjing Monk specifically wrote in his diary about a strange dream he had.
In the dream, he saw his master achieve enlightenment and become a Buddha, but then a snake bit his face terribly.
He was immediately awoken by the fright.
Mingjing Monk was an orphan and always held his master in high regard.
He always felt ominous about the dream and couldn't set his mind at ease, so he went to visit his master that night.
Regrettably, his master did not see him, only told him to just focus on his cultivation as dreams are merely visions clouded by insufficient diligence in spiritual practices.
Mingjing Monk could only retreat.
Days passed, and the monk always remembered that dream, harboring doubts unlike any other monks.
He found that if he didn't perform the "Yanqing Breathing Skills" even for a day, he would become extremely hungry, unable to satiate his hunger no matter how much he ate.
