Features: In the book, the character of Jigong is depicted as "not washing his face, not shaving his head," wearing tattered monk's robes, and walking bare-legged. He even deliberately smudges his original scholar's pale face with black mud. "Mad and foolish, suffering and, he jests and plays tricks everywhere," presenting an image that is both ugly and dirty, yet also comical, humorous, and endearing. As a monk of Lingyin Temple, he ignores Buddhist scriptures and meditation, breaks the rules and precepts, loves to drink and eat, and is particularly fond of stewed dog meat. Especially, the author portrays him as the reincarnation of a Western Heaven Arhat, born with innate wisdom and supernatural powers, making him prophetic, immensely powerful, and capable of using six-syllable mantras to put opponents in a passive position and subdue them. By cracking his celestial skull, he reveals the spiritual light of the Arhat, which can turn misfortune into good fortune and overcome difficulties. Thus, in his struggles against corrupt officials, wealthy and powerful villains, and evil forces, he mocks and teases, displaying magical and unpredictable tricks, achieving victory in unexpected ways.
