The snakehead turned into a black boy, came to Tianzhu Temple, saw a very iconic woman, and wanted to coax her into marriage. The abbot said: This girl has come to pray for her mother's recovery. If you can donate the biggest incense burner for her, your marriage will be completed when her mother recovers. Then the snakehead essence really came to Tianzhu Temple with a huge stone incense burner on his back. But when I saw that the girl was a Guanyin bodhisattva, I was scared to escape for a long time, but I couldn't get rid of the incense burner on my back and stuck to my body. Then she jumped into the West Lake, and the incense burner was upside down on him.
