The story of the man who fetches the scriptures starts before he is born. In the Tang empire there was a young scholar named Chen Guangrui, and he passed the examinations and was given a post.
He married a chancellor’s daughter and set out with her. The road crossed a river, so they hired a ferry.
The ferryman saw a new appointment paper and a young wife. In the middle of the river he acted, and Chen Guangrui went into the water.
