This young Scholar was of course Fang Zheng; his reason for coming here was naturally to give that bunch of Bald Guys a hard time.
However, Fang Zheng had a better method than Daji: mobilize the masses and dive deep into the masses.
No matter how harmless and docile Buddhism pretends to be, it can't change the fact that it is essentially an anti‑society, anti‑humanity cult. Monks aren't allowed to touch meat or get married. Can ordinary people tolerate that? Especially in a family like this old lady's. Fang Zheng had already inquired while drinking tea: the old woman had one son and two daughters, both daughters were married off, and the whole family was counting on this son to marry, have children, continue the family line, and care for them in their old age and after death.
And you want him to become a monk?
