Majestic stands the mountain's frame,
Its golden peak, an enlightening flame.
Winds and clouds by will are swayed,
Heart remains clear, night and day.
The grand hall was filled with pious devotees attending the ceremony. This was the fourth ceremony organized by Yellowbrow for his mortal believers.
A devotee had attended three times, witnessing numerous miracles on each occasion. However, it was the first time for his acquaintance from their hometown to attend such a ceremony, and the acquaintance harbored deep suspicions.
Before long, two blind monks carried in a statue of a Wrathful Vajra. The devotee introduced it to his acquaintance, saying, "This Vajra can discern a person's goodness or evil."
As he finished speaking, two men approached the statue, accusing each other over some grievances. In no time, they were reduced to ashes by the Vajra.
The acquaintance was shocked by the abruptness of it all. Just then, he heard heavy footsteps outside the hall. Looking out through the window, he saw a giant with blue skin, draped in a golden spiked robe, walking slowly towards them.
The devotee introduced again, "This guardian can judge a person's sincerity." After saying this, the monks led the crowd to present their offerings to the guardian one by one. He reminded, "Make sure to give away all your money."
The acquaintance, deeply distrustful of the devotee's words, said, "You've been deceived by them. These monks are all frauds."
The devotee retorted angrily, "How can you speak so recklessly? Why would I deceive you, being from the same hometown?"
"Who knows if you're in cahoots with them?"
Their argument grew louder and louder. The Vajra, seeing their quarrel, raised its steel fork and charged at them.
The acquaintance quickly fled, but the devotee shouted, "Don't be afraid, I will prove my sincerity!" The Vajra showed no hesitance.
Just when the acquaintance thought his fellow townsman was doomed, the blue-skinned giant raised his hand to block the Vajra, saving the devotee's life.
From then on, the acquaintance became a regular at the ceremonies, always making sure to give away all his money before leaving, just like his fellow townsman.
The scene opens in a grand hall full of religious followers attending a ceremony run by someone named Yellowbrow. This was the fourth time Yellowbrow had organized such an event for his mortal believers. Among the crowd were two men from the same hometown: one was a devotee who had already been to three ceremonies and had seen many miracles, and the other was his acquaintance attending for the first time and feeling deeply suspicious.
Two blind monks carried in a statue called a Wrathful Vajra. The longtime devotee told his acquaintance that the Vajra could tell whether a person was good or evil. Almost immediately after, two men in the hall began accusing each other loudly, and the Vajra burned them to ashes on the spot. The acquaintance was shocked by how sudden and absolute the punishment was.
Then heavy footsteps sounded outside and a giant with blue skin, wearing a golden spiked robe, walked toward the hall. The devotee explained that this giant was a guardian who judged people’s sincerity. The monks then had the crowd come forward to present offerings to the guardian, and they told everyone to give away all their money as they did so.
The acquaintance openly accused the monks of being frauds, and the two townsmen argued about it. Their quarrel grew louder until the Vajra raised a steel fork and charged at them. The acquaintance ran away, while the devotee shouted that he would prove his sincerity. The Vajra attacked without hesitation, but the blue-skinned guardian raised his hand and blocked the Vajra, saving the devotee’s life.
After the guardian intervened, the previously suspicious acquaintance stopped resisting. He began attending the ceremonies regularly and followed the practice of giving away all his money before leaving, just like his fellow townsman. In short, the display of the Vajra’s judgment and the guardian’s protection convinced a skeptic to become a regular participant and donor at Yellowbrow’s ceremonies.
