The original text of the wandering monk in Hejian:

There is a wandering monk in the river who sells medicine in the market. He said in front of the clown, "I am good at treating pain."

If you have a follower, you will receive a letter of gold.

The monk is a hand medicine, and Fu Yu said, "The pain is already there."

This gold is the reward of becoming a monk.

Give gold one by one, one letter weighs two Liang, and put it in front of the Buddha first.

Throw medicine like a dragon and it will go out in an instant.

The viewer is terrible, and it is also a reward to call it wonderful.
