While competing in cricket fights at his mansion, Young Master Luo's black cricket achieved a great victory, winning him a large sum of silver. Overjoyed and boastful, he bragged about the priceless value of his treasure. His words were overheard by Zhang Yu, a carpenter working next door. When a servant placed the jar containing the black cricket on a table, Zhang Yu, unable to contain his curiosity, wanted to catch a glimpse of the "treasure." Unexpectedly, in a moment of carelessness, the black cricket escaped.
After severely beating Zhang Yu, Young Master Luo gave him three days to retrieve the black cricket, or else pay a fine of 1,000 taels of silver. Zhang Yu pondered over his predicament and began to contemplate ending his own life. The immensely powerful monk Jigong arrived just in time to save Zhang Yu, promising that with just three coins from Zhang Yu's possession, he could resolve all his troubles.
