At that time, the East and West Towers were presided over by two apprentices. The master opened the East Tower and the apprentice opened the West Tower, which was built at the end of the tower. Neither of them can come down.
The master picked up an umbrella next to him and jumped down. When the apprentice saw Master doing this, he also jumped down with an umbrella, and as a result, the apprentice fell into a meat pie.
It turned out that Master used a cloth umbrella, which jumped like a parachute and landed slowly and safely. The apprentice used a paper umbrella. When he jumped down, the paper umbrella broke and his apprentice fell dead.
So people say that the East Tower God and the West Tower Ghost.
This book is nonsense and groundless, but it illustrates a truth. If you really learn kung fu, blind imitation sometimes leads to a dead end.
There is an old saying in Quanzhou called "dance with the master", which probably comes from this legend. In fact, this is just a fantasy.
