The abbot was anxious. He came to Jigong Living Buddha one day, knowing he has the ability of the way, which is unimaginable. Some time ago, when they were renovating the scripture house. He called the wood out of the well, called one, and came out one.
So then they had to come to him again.
No problem, said Jigong Living Buddha. If you believe in me, I will help you. How to do? How much money is left to sculpt the statue?
There is still a little left. Plus the money for gilding, buy me a drink. When I'm drunk and happy, I consider gilding all the Buddha statues.
For ordinary people, they definitely would say he talked nonsense. But the abbot, who had witnessed his tricks before, was still dubious. He had no choice but to take a risk. Then he ordered someone to buy him the best wine. He drank it for 3 days straight.
After drinking, he told the abbot that he was going to work. Fence the grand hall, he said. I will gild all the buddha statues in 3 days. But remember, no matter what happens inside, no one is allowed to peek or approach. Otherwise, abbot, you will be responsible. This is the deal and sign the contract.

The abbot was anxious, you are playing with me. I must bear it, there is one more night anyway. The people next to him advised him not to cause trouble. Anyway, money has gone and wine has drunk. Just one more night, wait a while. It was dusk and night fell. It became quiet gradually.
Master Daoji woke up. He probably drank too much. He was heard throwing up inside. Vomit. The abbot was extremely angry, the grand hall was just built, and you spoil it like that.
When he was eager to rush in, he hesitated, No way. If I break in rashly, I need to take responsibility, I must stand it, just wait aside.
The sound of vomiting becomes louder and louder. Until midnight, the sound of vomiting was as loud as a drum beating. After midnight, the abbot became more and more unbearable. It's near dawn. He decided not to wait any longer. I won't forgive you, he ordered people to open the fence and rushed in, and want to settle accounts with Master Daoji.
When the door was opened, everyone was astonished. All the Buddha statues in the main hall are shining in gold. Master 6:00
Daoji was still holding a shoulder of Amitabha statue, holding there and vomiting. What for? Gold plating, spraying paint. The remaining arm has not been sprayed.
When the door was opened, he stopped the work. Ok, that's it. Then he said, Abbot, you came the right time. This arm is yours. Because we have a deal that you can't see. You take a look, and it's yours. Since you are not rest assured, it's your turn. The abbot regretted and begged without solution.
Since Master Daoji had said the word, he performed it accordingly. The abbot had to bought gold with his own money. No matter how he plate it, the color was not as good as the former. This is the cause he drank wine. When he ate meat, he ate the dead in and threw up the live out. He was playing game with his divine ability, just like a magician playing magic.
