(Bian takes out the materials for making the banners) (Xiang) Let me burn some incense and wash my hands before I start sewing with all sincerity.
(washes hands and sews the banner) 【A Sister's Farewell】 My past life was heavy, tying strings on zithers and flutes;lazy to stitch and needlework, I have never been skilled at it.
Bian: Xiang's heart is pure and her work delicate, a single thread can make all the difference.
Xiang: It is not about skill but faith.
(offers the banner for purification)Señalaron pintorescas aves de masco con hilo distinto.(Trabajando juntos para coser) (Covert role as elderly clerk Ding Jiliang, played by Fujin, and clown Liu Jingting with a luggage arrive leading Lord Hou) (Hou) 【Satin Robe】 Evading war, I hear the sound of wind through ravines;clouds cover two or three peaks in the mountain, the chilly May winds send shivers down my spine.
(Clerk) This is Montes Cejas.
You are looking for a temple to stay at, you should rest early.
Hou looks around and says: This is Paozhen Monastery, why not knock on the door?Stone walls covered in moss, I seek out Master Lian, In the path of deer and birds, I urgently call the boy from the hermitage, Immortals do not understand the sorrow of mortals.
(Clerk knocks on the door) (Bian stands up to ask) Who is knocking?Clerk: We are travelers from Nanjing here to stay for a while at your monastery.
Bian: This is a female abbot, we never entertain guests.
【A Sister's Farewell】 The stone walls stand tall, day and night locked behind closed doors;nuns fear being disturbed by worldly visitors.
Liu: We are not like wandering monks or Taoists, staying here for the time being would be fine.
Bian: I recite scriptures and adhere to my master’s rules, Even a maiden in seclusion has her own way of life.
Xiang: You make sense.
It's different from our days at the brothel.
Bian: This is what I practice, do not bother us, let me prepare lunch for everyone.
(Bian and others go to the kitchen) (Clerk knocks again on the door) Hou: Since we have found a place, there is no need to push our luck any further.
Clerk: There are more temples ahead, I will check around.
(leaves) (Ding leads Hou and Liu up the mountain) Crossing Baiquan, climbing purple palaces;ice caves let in fresh air, cloud halls pour down rain.
(Hou is surprised) Before us lies a stream of water blocking our way to the south mountains, how can we cross?Ding: No need for worry.
There's a fishing boat by the shore, I'll sit and chat while you wait for the fisherman to come;not far from here, we will reach Caizhen Monastery.
(They board the boat together) Liu: Old Liu used to fish in Beibay Village near Taizhou when young;I am familiar with this boat, let me row us across.
