Publisher's Synopsis
"Fresh on the heels of his recent misadventures, and his recent dalliance in town, Shì Lóng Páng, the portly Buddhist warrior monk, continues the search for his brothers, armed with a greater resolve than ever before. But as he tries to find his way in an unforgiving landscape during a tumultuous period in Chinese history, he'll have to further wrestle with what it means to be a monk outside the temple, and what it takes to survive in a world full of ferocious predators, drunken masters, and startling discoveries.".
