Flying past Divine missed and rainbow clouds and witnessing white cranes, and purple hopes on his way. He suddenly saw one particular God approaching The radiant deity went by the name of trivial decision, the great Barefoot, Immortal the to bumped, into each other face-to-face, with the Great Sage lowering his head, and try to come up with a trick.

So he took the life of Truth, only muttering In previous years, where we just have the rehearsal and express our gratitude at the Jade pool, why change to the hold of omnipresent brightness and then go to the Jaipur? Banquet With no other choice, he only turned his Cloud around and head to the whole of omnipresent brightness. Meanwhile, writing his own cloud, the Great Sage recited a spell and with a shake he transformed into the great Barefoot Immortal before dashing

Plucking, several hairs from himself. He chewed them into smaller bits and spread them out before. Reciting a spell calling change.
The hair is then transformed into drowsy bucks and hopped onto everyone's face. Look at these people with their hands shaking and heads popping. They soon close their eyes, stop their tasks and fell into deep sleep. The Great Sage then wrap all the Delicacies, and rare dishes before walking into the depths of the long corridor.
Leaning against the tanks and jars of wine, he drank till he was numb. By the time he was stated, he was in a drunken stupor when it finally occurred to him terrible, terrible.
