Setelah Fei Cang dewasa,

Upon seeing his face, the monk became very surprised
dan bertanya,
and asked,
“Saya waktu dulu melihat wajah Anda adalah wajah seorang yang mempunyai kedudukan.
“I used to see that your face was the face of a person with position.
Tetapi mengapa muka Anda hari ini telah berubah semua-nya?”.
But why your face today has changed overall ? ”.
Fei Cang berkata,
Fei Cang said,
“Rasa-nya saya tidak pernah melakukan kesalahan yang besar.
"I think I've never made a big mistake.
Atau-kah mungkin hanya karena saya telah menelantarkan Istri pertama saya saja,
Or maybe just because I neglected my first wife,
sudah termasuk kesalahan besar ?”.
is it a big mistake ? ”.
Setelah mendengar perkataan Fei Cang,
After hearing Fei Cang's words,
Biksu Than Cau kemudian menghela napas
the Than Cau's Monk then sighed
seraya berkata,
then he said,
“Mengapa Anda hanya demi mengejar kecantikan
"Why are you only for the sake of pursuing beauty
dan tidak menjaga Moral Kebajikan ?.
and not keeping the virtue's moral ?
Perbuatan Anda telah mengurangi Rejeki sendiri,
Your actions have reduced your fortunes,
bukan hanya masa depan yang gagal
not only will the future fail
tapi juga akan mendatangkan bencana pula”.
but will also bring disaster as well.
Mulai saat itu,
From then on,
Fei Cang sering melihat Arwah Li datang untuk membalas dendam.
Fei Cang often saw Li's Spirit coming to take revenge.
Dan akhir-nya,
And in the end,
dia juga tewas dengan sangat mengenaskan.
he also died very pathetically.
Sastrawan Wu Yi Ce
membuat sebuah syair,
membuat sebuah syair,The literary man Wu Yi Ce makes a verse,
“Tamak kecantikan lupa Kebajikan merusak masa depan-nya,
"Greedy to beauty, forgets Virtue, ruins his future,
Membuang Istri, sayang gundik, sungguh ber-hati serigala,
Throwing away old Wife, cherish of young concubine, really have a wolf heart,
Arwah datang untuk menagih hutang darah dan nyawa,
Departed spirits come to collect the debt of blood and life,
Kedudukan lenyap dan usia di-perpendek lalu binasa”.
Position in life disappears and age is shortened and then perishes".
