The old monkey has told his tale. Onward you must go.
Armed head to toe, dread not the foe.
Fresh brew in an old cask. May it stir a great task!
A good match calls for a good weapon.
Tonics are well and good, but not to be wolfed like food!
Take more as fruit as your plants take root.
The most marvelous places for meditation have all met your gaze.
Each guise grants a new horizon.
Now you can sate yourself with all the drinks.
Every rare wonder the world can offer, collected and kept.
"Here, have it, have it all."
Humans, beasts, yaoguais, and the Bodhisattvas. All recorded and noted.
All spells we know are derived from the same source.
Rare is not the gourd but a friend to drink with.
"All the tattered pages can now be compiled in full."
A blend for every brew to bring out its best.
Shoes on feet, hat on head, embroidered shirt, Daoist robe—free as can be, doing as you please!
A walking vault of arms you have become!
Each ordeal paves your path to what you are meant to be.
